Title in English:	Periodontal evaluation of patients with ceramic fused-to-metal and acrylate fused-to-metal crowns over a period of 1 to 5 years

Abstract:	Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine if there is any difference between observed teeth (abutment teeth) and control teeth (homologous) in patients with acrylate fused-to-metal (AFM) crowns and those with ceramic fused-to-metal (CFM) crowns, and if there is any difference between AFM and CFM crowns in terms of plaque index, gingival index, retention index, CPITN, marginal gingiva retraction and bone resorption. The next objective was to examine if the length of use of AFM and CFM crowns bears any impact on these indices. Material and methods: The study included 80 patients of both sexes aged 20 to 65 with fixed prosthetics (single crowns). All the research parameters were obtained from clinical examinations and radiographic analyses. Results showed that in the group of patients with AFM crowns there was a statistically significant difference between observed and control teeth in terms of gingival index, CPITN, retention index and marginal gingiva retraction, whereas there was no statistically significant difference for other indices observed. Results also showed that in patients with CFM crowns there was a statistically significant difference between observed and control teeth in terms of plaque index, gingival index, CPITN, retention index and marginal gingiva retraction, whereas there was no statistically significant difference for bone resorption. A statistically significant difference was found between AFM and CFM only in terms of plaque index. Conclusion: The length of use of the prosthetic appliance (under five years) in the group with AFM crowns did influence the plaque index, the depth of periodontal sulcus and the marginal gingiva retraction. The length of use of fixed prosthetic appliances (under five years) in the group with CFM crowns did not influence the indices observed.

Title in English:	The Prevalence of Symptoms and Signs of Temporomandibular Dysfunctions in Patients with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Title in Croatian:	Prevalencija simptoma i znakova temporomandibularnih poremećaja u bolesnika s posttraumatskim stresnim poremećajem
Type of Article:	original scientific paper
MeSH:	TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
Abstract:	Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMD) symptoms/ signs in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) group and non-PTSD matched control and to determine differences in values of Helkimo anamnestic dysfunction index (Ai) and Helkimo clinical dysfunction index (Di) between healthy and PTSD patients. Material and methods: The first group of subjects included 38 patients of both sexes aged 30 to 60 diagnosed with PTSD by their treating psychiatrists. The control group included 32 patients of both sexes, aged 30 to 60. All patients had their case histories taken in compliance with the Helkimo anamnestic dysfunction index and a corresponding clinical examination was performed in compliance with the Helkimo clinical dysfunction index. Results: Differences were established in relation to following symptoms of TMD: sound in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area, fatigue in the jaw area, rigidity of the jaw and in signs of TMD: decreased movement of mandible, decreased TMJ function and muscle pain. Calculation of the chi-square test for values of the Helkimo anamnestic and Helkimo clinical dysfunction index presented statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclussion: The results of the study confirmed that PTSD affects the appearance of symptoms and signs of TMD. Therefore, it is necessary to bear it in mind in the treatment of patients suffering from PTSD as well as in patients suffering from TMD.
