MeSH:	FACIAL INJURIES
Abstract:	Head and neck injuries caused by accidents associated with rural life are not frequent (4% according to Zachariades on a survey of more than 6000 patients). One of the most frequent among those accidents are agricultural vehicle accidents, especially open vehicles. These vehicles do not develop high speed and helmets are seldom required. Therefore in cases of falling out of a vehicle or turning of the vehicle very extensive facial injury occurs which is quite different from other road traffic accident injuries.A report of the treatment and outcome of a case tretaed at the Clinic for Maxillofacial surgery and Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Dubrava is presented.A 32 year-old man survived accident in with the tractor oveerturned During the accident the right side of his midface was smashed. Clinical examination and x-rays revealed a defect of the right cheek including the complete zygomatic bone with the floor of the orbit and lateral upper part of the maxilla including molar teeth with adjacent bone and soft tissue. The skin of the cheek was missing and buccal lining was severely reduced. After initial examination and stabilization, immediate surgery was performed. The patient was satisfied with the appearance, after several major reconstructive procedures (three distant flaps and two local flaps) and oral rehabilitation started.The nature of the injury and the position of the left teeth started the procedure of the oral rehabilitation.The choice was a metal alloy upper partial denture with telescopic crown, and fixed frontal down bridge with attachment and lower partial denture from metal alloy.

Abstract:	The aim of this study was: 1. To measure latency and duration of the silent period elicited in an open-close-clench cycle in individuals with all teeth and normal occlusion. 2. To compare the latency and duration of a silent period between the different elevator muscles examined and the symmetry of the reflex responses. 3. To analyze isotonic and isometric muscle activity in open-close-clench cycles and to compare it to the maximum voluntary myoelectric activity. Silent periods were registered and measured in 62 individuals with normal occlusion on the EMGA-1 apparatus. Ten registrations of an open-close-clench cycle was made for each participant to elicit silent periods. Signals from the right and left anterior temporal and left and right masseter muscles were recorded by surface electromyography during 240-300 ms. Silent periods had a latency of 12.5-12.9 ms after the occlusal contact and had only a single short inhibitory pause with complete inhibition of motoneurons. The duration of the silent period was 20.1-21.1 ms. There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) of the silent period latency and duration between the examined muscles and the left and the right side. Isotonic muscle activity was equal to isometric muscle activity for each muscle in open-close-clench cycles. The mean isotonic muscle activity was spontaneously constant between open-close-clench cycles and was approximately 60% to 70% of the mean muscle activity during maximum voluntary clencing. The reflex was considered oligosynaptic. The reflex was fully symmetrical and of equal latency and duration between the examined muscles. Stimulation of the primary mechanoreceptor afferents in periodontal ligament by tensile forces generated between occlusal tables of opposing teeth and/or vibration of the unique teeth contact (normal occlusion) and consequent stimulation of mechanoreceptors in temporomandibular joint, tendons or muscles by vibration could be responsible for the reflex.

Title in English:	The Release of Nickel Ions from Three Different Dental Casting Alloys
Title in Croatian:	Otpuštanje iona nikla iz triju različitih zubnih slitina
Type of Article:	original scientific paper
MeSH:	DENTAL ALLOYS + adverse effects NICKEL
Abstract:	The objective of the current study was to investigate the release of Ni ions from the following three dental casting alloys: high-noble Au-Pt alloy, and non-noble (base metal) Ni-Cr and Co-Cr- Mo alloys. The purpose of the study was also to determine whether the solution in which an alloy is submerged as well as its pH level and the exposure time have any effect on the amount of released Ni ions from the three above mentioned alloys. Three commercial alloys were used in the experiments: two base metal alloys, Ni-Cr (Wiron 99®, Bego, Germany) and Co-Cr-Mo alloy (Wironit®, Bego, Germany) and one high noble, Au-Pt alloy (Noble Metals Refinery, Zagreb, Croatia). Ni-Cr alloy samples and Co-Cr-Mo alloy samples, rollers of identical dimensions with diameters of 8 mm and heights of 15.8 mm were used, made by the manufacturer. The samples of Au-Pt alloy were plates with dimensions of 8 mm and height of 1 mm, also made by the manufacturer. All the samples were submerged in three different solutions over a certain period of time. The phosphate buffered solution at the pH = 6 level, rapresented human saliva, whereas lactic acid, to which certain amounts of acetic and formic acids, pH=3.5 (0.1 M lactic acid, 0.1 M NaCl, 1% acetic acid and 1% formic acid) were added to represent the condition that is created below dentobacterial plaque. The phosphate buffered solution ( pH=3.5), which was composed according to established pharmacopeical standards was used for comparison, since such extremely acid conditions do not exist in the oral cavity environment. Six samples were used for each tested dental alloy (n=6), for each solution separately and for each tested time interval, and thus 180 samples were used or 540 samples in total. The ion release from the above tested dental alloys in the above mentioned solutions was measured over 10 time intervals, i.e. after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 21 days and 30 days respectively. Solutions were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometar with inductively coupled plasma (ICP - AES) JY 50, France. Results of the analysis lead to the following conclusions:1. In the following dental alloys (Ni-Cr, Au-Pt, Co-Cr-Mo) the manufacturer states the presence of Ni only in Ni-Cr alloy. Resultsshow that Ni-Cr alloy and Co-Cr-Mo alloy released Ni ions, but the Au-Pt alloy did not, even at low pH levels.2. During the initial period of exposure Ni ions were released from the Co-Cr-Mo alloy in small amounts (10 μg/L) while increase in ion release was observed on the sixth day in the phosphate buffered saline at pH 3.5. Significant Ni ions release also occurred on the 21st day and 30th days respectively in the phosphate buffered solution at pH 6 (artificial saliva) as well as in lactic acid at pH 3.5 (dentobacterial plaque) when amount of the Ni ion release exceeded the approved daily dietary intake of this oligo-element.3. The Ni-Cr alloy released great amounts of Ni ions in all three solutions so that on the very first day of measurement these amounts exceeded the approved daily dietary intake of this element. Gradually, the amount of the released Ni ions increased with great variability in all solutions. However, the greatest increase in Ni ions release was noted in the phosphate buffered saline, at pH 6 level (artificial saliva) where it exceeded the approved daily dietary intake of this element. Therefore, this alloy should be used exclusively for fabrication of metal-ceramic appliances and should be fully covered by ceramic.

MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL, FIXED
Abstract:	The aim of this study was to evaluate the type and the aesthetic material in relation to age, gender, level of education, employment, socio-economic status and frequency of visits to the dentist. The examination was performed on 212 patients who had a fixed prosthodontic appliance for more than a year (55% males and 45% females, age 18-80 yrs.). The following conclusions were made: 1. The older patients and retired patients had significantly more bridges than crowns (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between gender and patients with a different level of education in the distribution of crowns and bridges (p>0.05). Patients who visit their dentist regularly have significantly more crowns than bridges thanpatients who visit their dentist irregularly or when in pain (p<0.01). Age or the first visit to the dentist made no significant influence on crown and bridge prevalence (p>0.05). 2. Almost all fixed prosthodontic appliances older than 10 years were made of porcelain (98%), while acrylic veneer crowns were more frequent in appliancesolder than 10 or 15 years (p<0.01). Relatively high frequency of porcelain (64%) was recorded in comparison to acrylic material(32%) or chromasite (4%). There was no gender difference with regard to the material used (p>0.05). Patients older than 60 years had more acrylic material compared to younger patients. While patients younger than 39 years had almost exclusively ceramicappliances (p<0.01). Less educated patients had more acrylic veneer appliances. Employed patients had significantly more ceramic appliances than retired patients.

Abstract:	Electrochemical conditions in the oral cavity lead to a release of metal ions into the patient's saliva. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the types andquantities of metal ions released from two base alloys: Co-Cr-Mo alloy (WironitR, Bego, Germany) and Ni-Cr alloy (Wiron 99, Bego, Germany) under in vitro conditionsimitating artificial saliva. We soaked ten sets of each alloy having 497 mm2 exposure surface for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days (six pieces each set) in phosphate buffered saline (pH 6.0). TE in the phosphate buffered saline (saliva) were assessed by ICP-AES (JY50P, Jobin-Ywon, France) with the detection limit of 10 mg/L. We found detectable amounts (mg/L) of TE (Mean SD) released from Co-Cr-Mo alloy (Mean SD): Co 337 (170), Fe 21 (15) Zn 87 (56), Ni 41 (68), and Cr 49 (42) and detectable amounts of TE released from Ni-Cr alloy (Mean SD): Co 265 (300), Fe 247 (256) Zn 92 (46), Ni542 (668), and Cr 396 (410). The manufacturer did not indicate the presence of Fe, Zn, and Ni in the Co-Cr-Mo alloy and the presence of Fe, Co and Zn, in the Ni-Cr alloy. A significantly higher amount of Fe, Ni and Cr was released from Ni-Cr alloy (p<0.05), and a considerablyhigher amount of Co was released from Co-Cr-Mo alloy, although it did not reach a statistically significant level (p>0.05), while there was no significant difference between the two alloys for Fe ion release (p>0.05). We must keep in mind that the amount of the released TE may be much higher than the reported values in this study, afterthe laboratory procedures (casting, polishing, etc.) and allergenic essential TE Cr, Co, and Ni may be present locally in a considerably higher amount.

Abstract:	In a moist environment electrochemical conditions lead to release of metal ions into the patient's saliva. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the types and quantities of metal ions released from two alloys: AuPt alloy and Co-Cr-Mo alloy under in vitro conditions, imitating artificial saliva. We soaked ten sets of Au-Ptalloy pieces having 133 mm2 exposure surface and ten sets of Co-Cr-Mo alloy (WironitR, Bego, Germany) pieces having 497 mm2 exposure surface for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days (six pieces each set) in phosphate buffered saline (pH 6.0) to mimic dental saliva. TE in the phosphate buffered saline (saliva) were assessed by ICP-AES (JY 50P, Jobin-Ywon, France) with the detectionlimit of 10 mg/L. We found detectable amounts (mg/L) of TE (Mean SD) released from Au-Pt alloy (Mean SD): Zn 124 (51), Cu 53 (63), Fe 15 (11) and Cr 18 (25) and detectable amounts of TE released from Co- Cr-Mo alloy (Mean SD): Co 337 (170), Fe 21 (15) Zn87 (56), Ni 41 (68), and Cr 49 (42). The manufacturer did not indicate the presence of Zn and Fe in the Au-Pt alloy and the presence of Fe, Zn, and Ni in the Co-Cr- Mo alloy. Significantly higher amount of Zn was released from high noble AuPt alloy than from Co-Cr-Mo alloy (p<0.05) and a significantly higher amount of Cr wasreleased from Co-Cr--Mo alloy than from Au-Pt alloy. There was no significant difference in the amount of Fe ions released between the two alloys (p>0.05). We must keep in mind that the amount of released TE may be much higher than the reported values after laboratory procedures (casting, polishing, etc.) and, moreover, other TE may become detectable.

Abstract:	The aim of this study was to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with their dentures, with denture retention, speech, chewing ability and the comfort of wearing dentures in complete denture (CD) and Kennedy Class I removable partial denture (RPD) wearers The aim was also to compare the level of satisfaction between the CD and RP wearers. A total of 156 CD and 103 RPD wearers took part in this study. Patients graded their satisfaction by using an analogue-visual scale from 1 to 5. The statistical analysis was made (descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov one sample test, Mann-Whitney test). The following conclusions were made: Both CD and RPD patients were mostly satisfied with their dentures (the distribution of the scores of the patients’ assessments was not as described by Gauss, but was skewed towards the highest scores). Variables were ranged from the best to the worst grades in the group CD wearers as follows:retention of upper CD, comfort of wearing upper CD, speech, aesthetic, overall satisfaction, chewing ability, retention of lower CD and comfort of wearing lower CD. Variables were ranged from the best to the worst grades in the group of RPD wearers as follows: aesthetics, retention of upper RPD, comfort of wearing lower RPD,speech, retention of lower RPD, overall satisfaction, chewing ability and comfort of wearing lower RPD. The difference of the satisfaction between RPD and CD wearers was significant (p<0.05) for the comfort of wearing lower denture (higher scores RPD wearers), for the retention of lower denture (higher scores RPD wearers), and for chewing ability (higher scores CD wearers).

Abstract:	The aim of this study was to screen patients with fixed prosthodontic appliances, in the mouth for a period of 5 years or more, for root caries and pocket formation, deeper than 3 mm. The aim was also to determine the difference between frequency of pathologic findings for different materials of fixed prosthodontic appliances (FPA), or between abutments and natural teeth. A total of 260 patients (55% women and 45% men) aged from 25 to 70 years, who had a fixed prosthodontic appliance for a period of 5 years or more in their mouth and who were fully satisfied, participated in the study. A total of 260 orthopantomographs were analysed with 2265 teeth, 864 were abutments of the bridges, 407 crowns and the rest natural teeth. Radiographs were analysed for root caries and pocket formation. The results reveal relatively high incidence of pathologic findings (caries, periodontal pockets > 3 mm) in patients with FPDs older than 5 years. Periodontal pockets were more frequent than cervical caries. The highest frequency of pathologic findings was registered for abutments with metal acrylic crowns, and the lowest frequency of pathologic findings was registered for abutments with metal-ceramic crowns (p<0.05). There were no significant differences between abutments with metal-ceramic crowns and non-abutment teeth (p>0.05). There were no significant differences in caries incidence between the examined teeth (p>0.05). Non-abutment teeth and abutments of metal-ceramic crowns had significantly lower frequency of pockets deeper than 3 mm than abutments of metal acrylic and fullmetallic crowns (p<0.05).
