Physiotherapeutic possibilities in the treatment of complications after tooth extraction

Introduction: One of the most common complications occurring during or after tooth extraction is paralysis of the lower alveolar nerve. The nerve may be damaged or affected during removal of the retained lower third molars. Nerve damage may occur in the form of paresthesia, pseudoneuralgia or complete abolition of sensation in the surgical area. Aim: A review of the literature to verify the physiotherapeutic possibilities in the treatment of complications after tooth extraction. Material and research method: A literature review was conducted in terms of physiotherapeutic treatment methods as a result of disorders resulting from complications after tooth extraction. PubMed and Google Schoolar were analyzed. Keywords used in the search were: "physiotherapy and tooth extraction", "manual therapy and tooth extraction" and "electrotherapy and tooth extraction". Five reports were analyzed. Results: There is a need to combine standard therapy with physiotherapy in order to accelerate the healing process as a result of complications after extraction. Conclusions: Physiotherapy is highly effective and non-invasive in the treatment of many complications that occur in dental surgery. The physiotherapist offers a range of therapeutic procedures that improve the function of damaged nerves

Cleidocranial dysplasia-dental disorder treatment and audiology diagnosis

A review of numerous case reports was made, in order to demonstrate the possibilities for treatment of dental disorders in patients with Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). In this paper, our own report, including a diagnosis of the effect on the auditory system, is presented. In addition to the triad of CCD symptoms that include hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles, impacted and supernumerary teeth, delayed closure of fontanelles and cranial sutures, impairment of the hearing system resulting in conductive hearing loss also occurs. Our own report is based on the case of a 12-year-old CCD patient, in whom Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) revealed the presence of 12 supernumerary teeth. Furthermore, a clinical examination pointed to the presence of retained deciduous teeth and a delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Orthodontic-surgical procedures were implemented, in accordance with the literature. During the course of the orthodontic treatment, a decrease in auditory sensitivity was observed, for which reason hearing tests were also performed. Conductive hearing loss was detected. As such, it is important to remember that in such cases, auditory check-ups need to be performed between the many surgical and orthodontic interventions, which usually last a few years

Characteristics of dental pulp in human upper first premolar teeth based on immunohistochemical and morphometric examinations

Teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons are commonly considered as healthy. Therefore, it is possible to examine structure of the dental pulp can be fully recognized and how it is affected by malocclusion. The aim of the study was to evaluate by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and morphometry dental pulp in human upper first premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons. The material comprised 36 teeth of 20 patients in the age range 16–26 years. By the use of IHC markers the presence of immunocompetent cells (CD20, CD45RO, and CD68), blood vessels (CD31) and nerves (PGP9.5) were examined in the pulp. Inflammatory infiltrates and tissue atrophy were observed in 24 and 10 teeth, respectively. Strong positive correlation between the width of the odontoblastic layer, the number of rows of odontoblast nuclei and the increase of MVA (microvessel area) in the pulp of atrophic teeth was found. The cellular infiltrations found in H&E-stained sections were identified by IHC as memory T cells (CD45RO+) and B lymphocytes (CD20+) with macrophages (CD68+) present at the periphery. The CD20 antigen was intensively expressed in 13 teeth, CD45RO in 33 teeth, and CD68 in 20 teeth. Thus, despite the lack of any clinical signs of pulp disease many teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons show focal pulp inflammation and atrophy which probably results from the malocclusion stress accompanying teeth crowding

Disorders in the temporomandibular joints in pediatric patients - frequency of physiotherapy visits

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders can be a challenge for both clinicians and patients. It is unclear what factors are associated with prolonged conservative care and patient dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes.Material and research method: A literature review was carried out in terms of methods of physiotherapeutic treatment following disorders of temporomandibular joints in pediatric patients. This work is for reference only. The PubMed and Google Schoolar databases were analyzed. The keywords used in the search were: "physiotherapy, temporomandibular joints and children", "manual therapy, temporomandibular joints and children". The authors focused on reports published in Polish and English from the last 10 years.Results: There is a need to combine standard therapy with physiotherapy in order to accelerate the treatment process.Conclusions: Physiotherapy is highly effective and non-invasive in the treatment of stomatognathic system disorders. A physiotherapist provides a number of therapeutic treatments that improve disorders in the temporomandibular joints

Production of virgin coconut oil via centrifugation and oven methods

The conventional ways of breaking emulsions using heat is disadvantageous from the both economic and environmental perspectives. In this study, the production of virgin coconut oil from coconut oil milk was investigated. Centrifugation and hot method were used for separation of oil. Analysis was carried out by gas chromatography. Results show that, production of virgin coconut oil increases with increasing centrifugal speed. The optimum temperature required to maintain the nutrition oil oil was found to be 60oC. Experimental data also presented to show the influence of Triton –X-100, Tween 20 and SDDS on stability of virgin coconut oil emulsion

Platelet‑rich plasma as a method of treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men — a case report

Androgenetic alopecia is a common condition, accounting for about 95% of all male hair loss. Standard therapeutic solutions recommend the use of minoxidil, finasteride, spironolactone, nutritional supplementation, phototherapy and hair transplant surgery. An increasingly popular alternative method that has been used in the case report is platelet rich plasma (PRP) mesotherapy characterized by autologous character, minimal invasiveness and no serious side effects. A series of 3 treatments was performed at 3-week intervals. The effects of using medical photographic documentation after completing a series of treatments.</jats:p
