About the Journal
Dentistry is the branch of medical science that involves all aspects of oral health and pathology of the oro-facial complex and their related systemic manifestations from infancy to geriatrics, inclusive of the neurologically challenged or disabled. Dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal (gum) diseases remain as the most prevalent diseases affecting the humankind, despite decades of research, and effective public health interventional measures, such as water fluoridation. On the other hand, from a clinician’s perspective, there are persistent diagnostic and management challenges with respect to pathologies associated with developmental and acquired anomalies, and as well as worn dentition. The latter in particular is a growing concern due to the increasing burden of frail elderly in most developed countries, who are sustained through modern medical interventional measures.
Furthermore, dental practitioners in both clinical and academic area as over the past several decades have witnessed dramatic and far-reaching technological advancements in materials and instrumentation. These cutting edge developments in dentistry will further expand our horizons to best meet future oral and dental needs of the populace.
Aims and Scope
The aim of Dentistry – Open Journal (DOJ) is to expand and advance the quest for greater knowledge in all matters of scientific and clinical, permeating the oral and dental health of the community.
The scope of DOJ is to act as a vehicle of knowledge transmission on oral and maxillofacial health matters across all aspects of dentistry embracing clinical, medical, surgical, epidemiological, pedagogic and critical care aspects of dentistry, through objective and peer-reviewed analysis.
DOJ covers a wide array of subjects as given below
- Dental biomaterials
- Oral medicine and pathology
- Oral microbiomics and infection
- Orthodontics
- Paediatric dentistry
- Endodontics
- Oral and maxillofacial surgery
- Implant dentistry
- Prosthetic dentistry
- Oral epidemiology
- Regenerative dentistry
- Dental braces
The audience of DOJ includes general dental practitioners and all other specialty areas of dental practitioners including dental hygienists, dental surgery assistants, prosthetists, dental technicians, dental educators and administrators, pharmacologists, pathologists, basic scientists, physicians and surgeons,as well as dental and medical students.
The journal welcomes all article types including the original. prospective and retrospective research, literature reviews, case reports, editorials, letter to the editor, position or opinion papers, commentary, conference proceedings, technical reports, and illustrations depicting clinical conditions and narratives.
Finally, we also welcome comments, or critique from any interested party to further enhance the quality of our journal. Please send us your thoughts using the Contact Us link.

Full-Text (HTML)
Abstract [+]
Patients with maxillary Kennedy Class I are frequent visitors to the dental office, the missing of posterior teeth makes the control of the movement of removable partial dentures difficult due to the axis of rotation and the different resiliencies between the supporting structures. The use of implants in association to the conventional metal frame denture provides favorable long-term stability and retention, good clinical outcomes in terms of occurrence of complications and maintenance. In this clinical case, a patient with a maxillary Kennedy Class I was rehabilitated using a 3 implants to support metallic removable partial denture. A three dimensional (3D) surgical guide was used for the well-placement of the strategic implants and ball attachments were tightened as connectors between implant and denture. The patient was satisfied after 4-years of follow-up and reported good occlusal stability, esthetic and functional satisfaction.

Using PF-MOUTH GELTM for Sore or Painful Tongue Improved Symptoms and Stabilized Dryness and Trapping of Food: A Case Report
PDF

Abstract [+]
We describe herein the case of a 72-year-old woman with persistent and symptomatic sore or painful tongue (SPT) treated using PF-MOUTH GELTM (PF-Gel; Daiichi-Sangyo, Osaka, Japan), which includes 30% fucoidan and 0.75% sword bean. PF-MOUTH GELTM was applied to the tongue and kept in place for 3-min. Application was performed twice a day (morning and evening) for 3-months, and resulted in marked improvement of symptomatic sore or painful tongue. Because only one case was reported in this study, clinical trials are required to confirm the efficacy and safety of topical PF-MOUTH GELTM for the treatment of symptomatic sore or painful tongue.

Comparative Study of the Antimicrobial Activity of Clove Oil and Clove Extract on Oral Pathogens

Abstract [+]
Objective
The main objective of the present study was to do the comparative study of clove oil and clove extract on the oral micro-biota causing dental caries and also to assess the antifungal activity.
Materials and Methods
The antimicrobial activity of clove oil and clove extract was assessed against Halobacterium sp., Lactobacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Micrococcus sp. and Streptococcus mutans (major causative bacteria of dental plaque) by the paper disc diffusion method. For each extract
three replicate trials were conducted against each organism. The antifungal activity of clove oil and extract was also assessed against seven fungal species (Aspergillus niger, A. fumigatus, Aspergillus sp., Alternaria sp., Rhizomucor sp., Rhizopus sp. and Penicillium sp.)
by agar disc diffusion method.
Results
Both clove oil and clove extract was found to exhibit broad spectrum of antibacterial activity inhibiting all the ten test bacterial species involved in dental caries. Clove oil produced maximum inhibition zone of diameter (IZD) against the major causative bacteria of dental plaque as compared to clove extract, thereby, showing that clove oil possesses strong bactericidal activity against oral pathogens. The highest inhibition zone of diameter was observed by clove oil as compared to clove extract against the test fungal species
Conclusion
The clove oil has the potential to be used as a natural antibacterial agent for oral pathogens.

A Clinical Paradigm and Pertinent Literature Review for Placing Short Implants
PDF

Abstract [+]
Placing an implant to replace missing teeth can be challenging because of lack of vertical and/or horizontal bone ridge, maxillary sinus pneumatization and inferior alveolar nerve position. Additional surgical procedures may be necessary, with varying predictability,
where vertical augmentation being the least predictable. An alternative option is to place short implants and exclude the additional surgical grafting procedures. By reviewing studies, this paper explores the predictability of the short implants for use in the methods. Bicon SHORT® implants are available in 5 and 6 mm lengths and seem to be able to overcome such limits but more long-term studies are still needed to determine long-term prognosis and success of short implants in terms of them being comparable or equal to longer or standard length implants.
