Research trends on maxillary sinus septa in 2019-2021: a scoping review with scientometric analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of trends in the description items within the literature published from 2019 to 2021 with "maxillary sinus septum" in the title or subtitle.

Methods: Electronic data from PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect were searched from 2019 to 2021. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) to select 21 of 243 articles and examined their studies.

Association of gonial angle with morphology and bone mineral content of the body of the adult human mandible with complete permanent dentition.

We investigated the differences between 2 gonial angle (GA) size groups with respect to the morphometry and quantitative bone mineral content (QBMC) of mandibles with all teeth erupted and normal occlusion. We used 19 dried mandibles that were obtained from an Indian population and stored in our department. These mandibles were at Hellman's developmental dental stage VA and were divided into low gonial angle (LGA) (GA ≤ 120°; 8 specimens; 16 sides) and high gonial angle (HGA) (GA ≥ 125°; 11 specimens; 22 sides) groups.

Growth changes of the mandibular body with eruption of mandibular third molars: analysis of anatomical morphometry and quantitative bone mineral content by using radiography.

This study aimed to analyze growth changes in mandibular body morphology and quantitative bone mineral content (QBMC) with eruption of mandibular third molars (M3s) and the relationship between those variables and posterior mandibular body length. Linear and angular measurements were conducted using standard lateral radiographs of 37 dried mandibles in Hellman's dental developmental stages IVA (14 specimens) to VA (23 specimens). Cortical and trabecular basal bone mineral contents (CBMC and TBMC) in the mandible were expressed in millimeter titanium equivalent values using a titanium step wedge.

Differences in 5 anatomic parameters of mandibular body morphology by gonial angle size in dentulous Japanese subjects.

This study aimed to determine the differences in 5 anatomical parameters of the mandibular body on dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) of 234 dentulous Japanese subjects (21-78years; mean, 25.76; median, 27 teeth) according to gender and gonial angle (GA) size, and to analyse the correlations between GA size and each variable by gender. The subjects were divided into low (LGA≤120°) and high gonial angle (HGA≥125°) groups.

The bactericidal effects of an acidified sodium chlorite-containing oral moisturizing gel: a pilot study.

The aim of this study was to examine the bactericidal effects and bactericidal time of an acidified sodium chlorite compound gel (ASC-Gel) on bacteria isolated from the peri-implant sulci of 10 patients who received implants 3-27 years previously, and the depth of each peri-implant sulcus was 5 mm or less. Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC33277) was used as the control bacterium. Five ASC-Gel preparations were created by adding 3.

Environmental monitoring and bactericidal efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas in a dental office.

We monitored the quantity of airborne microorganisms at 11 points (points A to K) in a dental office on a routine day of use, and tested the bactericidal efficacy of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) gas in the dental operatory after consulting hours. Fallen airborne microorganisms were collected under air-conditioning (AC) in the dental office, and under four conditions in the operatory. Specimens of the microbes were cultivated on nutrient and Sabouraud agar media (NAM and SAM).

Relationships between the gonial angle and mandibular ramus morphology in dentate subjects: a panoramic radiophotometric study.

Analysis of dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) is an indispensable diagnostic tool for dental implants both pre and post operation. Many studies on linear and angular morphometry of the mandibular body have been conducted, but those on the mandibular ramus have not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the morphometric parameters of the mandibular ramus between high and low gonial angles (GAs) on DPRs as well as between genders, and to determine the relationships between GA and variables of the mandibular ramus morphometry.
