Dosimetric parameters and radiotherapy simulation methods used in preclinical studies of radiation damage to the dentition: a systematic review. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2022; 135:614-625. [PMID: 36725442 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review investigated the dosimetric parameters used in preclinical studies. STUDY DESIGN Searches were performed in 3 databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Embase) and gray literature to identify studies for review. In vitro and ex vivo studies that examined the effect of radiation on human permanent teeth were included. The modified Consolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials checklist of items for reporting preclinical in vitro studies was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS In total, 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. The average radiation dose of in vitro studies was 53 (±22) Gy and in ex vivo studies was 69 (±1) Gy. Twenty-two studies used 5 different fractionation schemes. Twenty-two of the included studies did not report the radiotherapy modality of those reporting. Twenty studies used linear accelerators, and 7 used Cobalt-60 with the source-surface-distance of radiation ranging from 1.5 to 100 cm. Distilled water was the storage solution for the dental structure used most commonly. Biases were observed, including small sample sizes, lack of randomization, and blinding processes. CONCLUSION The dosimetric parameters used in the preclinical studies, including radiation dose, radiotherapy modality, fractionation regime, and the storage solutions used did not support the hypothesis of direct effects of radiation on the dental structure.

[PMID: 35978223 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04666-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ionizing radiotherapy on the resin-dentin interface in endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber posts using a dual-cure resin cement performed with the etch-and-rinse (ER) and self-etch (SE) approaches in terms of push-out bond strength (MPa), and to analyze the post/cement/dentin interface using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six single-rooted human teeth were used and randomly assigned into two main groups (n = 38): one non-irradiated group (NoRad) and one group subjected to a cumulative radiation dose of 60 Gy (Rad). All root canals were instrumented and were further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 19) following the adhesive approach: ER (RadER; NoRadER) and SE (RadSE; NoRadSE) used for fiber post luting with the universal adhesive and dual cure resin cement. Each root was sectioned perpendicularly to its long axis and sections from the middle third of the roots were chosen for SEM analysis and push-out bond strength test. Two-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey tests and a dummy variable linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS Regardless of the adhesive approach, push-out bond strength in irradiated teeth resulted in significantly lower values than non-irradiated teeth (p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences between the ER and SE approaches in non-irradiated teeth (p = 0.955), whereas the ER approach showed significantly higher bond strengths than the SE approach in irradiated teeth (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Ionizing radiotherapy resulted in dentin structure disruption and negatively affected the push-out bond strength of fiber posts to intraradicular dentin. The reduction in bond strength was also more significant with the SE approach than with the ER approach. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The alterations resulting from root dentin irradiation seem to influence adhesive systems bond strength to dentin, as these changes contribute to lower push-out bond strength in irradiated groups before fiber post luting. Thus, clinicians should prepare patients with a reasonable restorative treatment plan prior to radiotherapy and simultaneously initiate a preventive program during radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Compare pathophysiology for infectious and noninfectious demineralization disease relative to mineral maintenance, physiologic fluoride levels, and mechanical degradation. RECENT FINDINGS Environmental acidity, biomechanics, and intercrystalline percolation of endemic fluoride regulate resistance to demineralization relative to osteopenia, noncarious cervical lesions, and dental caries. Demineralization is the most prevalent chronic disease in the world: osteoporosis (OP) >10%, dental caries ~100%. OP is severely debilitating while caries is potentially fatal. Mineralized tissues have a common physiology: cell-mediated apposition, protein matrix, fluid logistics (blood, saliva), intercrystalline ion percolation, cyclic demineralization/remineralization, and acid-based degradation (microbes, clastic cells). Etiology of demineralization involves fluid percolation, metabolism, homeostasis, biomechanics, mechanical wear (attrition or abrasion), and biofilm-related infections. Bone mineral density measurement assesses skeletal mass. Attrition, abrasion, erosion, and abfraction are diagnosed visually, but invisible subsurface caries <400μm cannot be detected. Controlling demineralization at all levels is an important horizon for cost-effective wellness worldwide.

Abstract
Cracked tooth syndrome refers to a series of symptoms caused by cracked teeth. This article reviews the current literature on cracked tooth syndrome from four aspects, etiology, diagnosis, management, and prevention, to provide readers integrated information about this. The article begins with an introduction to the odontiatrogenic factors and then covers the noniatrogenic factors that induce cracked tooth syndrome. While the former discusses inappropriate root canal therapy and improper restorative procedures, the latter covers the topics such as the developmental and functional status of cracked tooth syndrome. This is then followed by the description of common clinical diagnosis methods, the prospects of new technologies, and summaries of current clinical management methods, including immediate management and direct and indirect restoration. In the final section, preventive methods and their importance are proposed, with the aim of educating the common population.

Prevalence and features of elongated styloid process on imaging studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:1199-1215. [PMID: 34800204 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04285-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of the elongated styloid process (ESP) and its characteristics, such as sex and age of the patient, unilateral and bilateral incidence, besides variations between different populations and panoramic and CBCT examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was performed in six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Lilacs, and Embase) to identify observational studies that used imaging exams and assessed ESP prevalence among panoramic radiograph CBCT examinations, whose transversal prevalence studies were included. Furthermore, studies with a specific group of patients or symptomatic patients were excluded. Additionally, Joanna Briggs Institute checklist was used to evaluate the quality of the studies. A meta-analysis was conducted, then subgroup analyses were performed by grouping studies according to the secondary outcomes, with a significance level set at 5%. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to rate the certainty in the evidence. RESULTS The initial search resulted in 1635 studies, from which 39 articles met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 50,655 participants. The sample size varied between 82 and 5,000 participants. The prevalence of the ESP ranged from 1.3 to 94.8%, with an overall prevalence of 30.2%. The bilateral occurrence was higher than the unilateral one, but no significant predilection was observed according to sex, age, or population. The type of imaging examination also showed no difference in its detection. CONCLUSION The overall prevalence of ESP was 30.2%, with a propensity for bilaterality, but not for any sex, age, or population geographic location. The imaging examination modality did not influence the diagnosis of ESP. However, the quality level of the studies evaluated was very low, demonstrating the need for more homogeneous primary studies on the prevalence of the ESP with a more standardized methodology. CLINICAL RELEVANCE There is no consensus in the literature regarding the prevalence of the ESP and the characteristics of the affected patients that can cause chronic and debilitating discomfort in the head and neck region. Therefore, knowledge about the prevalence and characteristics of this condition would help dental clinicians reach the correct diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Radiation-related caries (RRC) is one of the most aggressive complications of radiotherapy (RT) in survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC). Lack of RRC awareness may contribute to the occurrence of this oral cavity complication. RRC may be considered a "forgotten oral complication" by patients with HNC, oncologists, and dentists. The present study aimed to assess the level of awareness of RRC among physicians, dentists, and patients. STUDY DESIGN Physicians (group 1, G1), dentists (group 2, G2), and patients with HNC undergoing RT (group 3, G3) answered questionnaires concerning their awareness of RRC. Physicians (G1) were divided into group 1A (oncological experience) and group 1B (general physicians/other specialties). Dentists (G2) were divided into group 2A (oncological experience) and group 2B (general dentists/other specialties). Personalized questionnaires were designed for each group. RESULTS Recruitment was as follows: physicians (n = 124): 1A (n = 64), 1B (n = 60); dentists: (n = 280), 2A (n = 160), 2B (n = 120). In addition, 58 patients answered the questionnaire. In terms of RRC awareness, 46.77% of physicians, 81.78% of dentists, and 24.13% of patients had some knowledge of the problem. CONCLUSION Patient awareness of RRC was poor. The heterogeneity of answers among physicians and dentists suggests an opportunity to improve patient education and prevention of this serious oral complication of RT.

Abstract
Radiotherapy-related caries is a complication of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma; however, factors influencing the occurrence, accurate prediction of onset, and protective factors of radiotherapy-related caries remain unclear. This study analyzed risk factors, disease predictors, and protective factors for radiotherapy-related caries in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This prospective study included 138 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving radical radiotherapy at our hospital during June 2012–December 2016 and were followed up for dental caries. Patients’ clinical data on radiotherapy were collected, dynamic monitoring was performed to assess changes in oral pH values, and a questionnaire survey was administered to collect patients’ lifestyle habits. Time-dependent cox regression trees, event-free Kaplan–Meier curve, Mann–Whitely U test were used to analysis the results. The median follow-up time was 30 (12–60) months. Radiotherapy-related caries occurred in 28 cases (20.3%). Univariate analyses showed that radiotherapy-related caries was associated with patient’s age, oral saliva pH value, green tea consumption, and radiation dose to sublingual glands, but not with the radiation dose to the parotid and submandibular glands. Multivariate analysis showed that oral saliva pH value [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.390, 95% confidence interval = 0.204–0.746] was an independent prognostic factor for radiotherapy-related caries. Patients with oral saliva pH values ≤ 5.3 in the 9th month after radiotherapy represented a significantly higher risks for radiotherapy-related caries (p < 0.001). Green tea consumption was associated with the occurrence of radiotherapy-related caries, and oral saliva pH values could predict the occurrence of radiotherapy-related caries. Limiting radiation doses to sublingual glands can reduce the occurrence of radiotherapy-related caries.

The Side Effects of Therapeutic Radioiodine-131 on the Structure of Enamel and Dentin in Permanent Human Teeth. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10040284.

Abstract
Simple Summary Our research suggest radioiodine-131 used for differentiated thyroid carcinomas has an impact on the oral health of patients. We found that alteration of dental hard tissues starts after 6 h post-radioiodine administration. These findings highlight the importance of the multidisciplinary team management in the quality of life of the oncological patient. Abstract Radioiodine-131 (I-131) is an essential therapy for patients with differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC). Generally, I-131 is safe and well tolerated, but patients may present early or late complications in the oral and maxillofacial areas. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate in-vitro, the alteration of enamel and dentin after I-131 exposure using histopathological assessment, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). For I-131 irradiation, an in-vitro protocol was used that simulates the procedure for irradiation therapy performed for patients with DTCs. A total of 42 teeth were divided into seven groups (n = 6) and irradiated as follows: control, irradiation groups (3, 6, 12, 36, 48 h, 8 days). Histological changes were observed at 48 h (enamel surface with multifocal and irregular areas) and at 8 days (enamel surface with multiple, very deep, delimited cavities). SEM imaging revealed the enamel destruction progresses along with the treatment time increasing. The alterations are extended into the enamel depth and the dislocated hydroxyapatite debris is overwhelming. The enamel-dentine interface shows small gaps after 6 h and a very well developed valley after 12 h; the interface microstructure resulted after 8 days is deeply altered. The AFM imaging shows that I-131 affects the protein bond between hydroxyapatite nano-crystals causing loss of cohesion, which leads to significant increasing of nano-particles diameter after 6 h. In conclusion, both enamel and dentin appear to be altered between 12 and 48 h and after 8 days of treatment are extended in depth.
