BMC Oral Health, 23(1), Dec 7, 2023Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic led to concerns about the potential airborne transmission of the virus during dental procedures, but evidence of actual transmission in clinical settings was lacking. This study aimed to observe the behavior of dental sprays generated from dental rotary handpieces and to evaluate the effectiveness of high-volume evacuators (HVEs) using laser light sheets and water-sensitive papers. Methods A dental manikin and jaw model were mounted in a dental treatment unit. Mock cutting procedures were performed on an artificial tooth on the maxillary left central incisor using an air turbine, a contra-angle electric micromotor (EM), and a 1:5 speed-up contra-angle EM (×5EM). Intraoral vacuum and extraoral vacuum (EOV) were used to verify the effectiveness of the HVEs. The dynamics and dispersal range of the dental sprays were visualized using a laser light sheet. In addition, environmental surface pollution was monitored three-dimensionally using water-sensitive papers. Results Although the HVEs were effective in both the tests, the use of EOV alone increased vertical dispersal and pollution. Conclusions The use of various types of HVEs to reduce the exposure of operators and assistants to dental sprays when using dental rotary cutting instruments is beneficial. The study findings will be helpful in the event of a future pandemic caused by an emerging or re-emerging infectious disease.

Objective To discuss the case of a 55-year-old man who complained of swelling and pain in the left cheek. Methods Computed tomographic images showed a shadow of retained electric toothbrush head in the left infratemporal fossa, heterotopic free air, and abscess formation in the masticatory space. Foreign body removal and surgical drainage were performed under general anesthesia. Result The patient was discharged 6 days postoperatively. Conclusion Computed tomography should invariably be performed on patients with intraoral impalement injury.

J.Jpn.Cleft Palate Assoc., 40(1) 23-29, Apr, 2015 Peer-reviewedIn recent years, some reports on postoperative computed tomography evaluations of secondary bone grafting into the alveolar cleft have been published. Here, we report a retrospective study on the prognostic factors of bone bridge formation after secondary bone grafting into the alveolar cleft, evaluated with computed tomography.<br>In 13 cases, we evaluated the bone bridge formations at a total of 9 points: each of the 3 points of the buccal, central, and palatal sites in 3 different height slices of the central incisor in the cleft side (root tip, middle, and alveolar crest).<br>The frequencies of bone bridge formations were as follows: all cases in middle/buccal, 9 (69.2%) in middle/central, 8 (61.5%) each in root tip/buccal and alveolar crest/central, 6 (46.2%) in alveolar crest/buccal, 5 (38.5%) in middle/palatal, 4 (30.8%) in alveolar crest/palatal, and 3 (23.1%) each in root tip/central and root tip/palatal. Moreover, a univariate logistic regression analysis clearly showed that the preoperative width of the alveolar cleft could be a predictive factor of postoperative bone bridge formation in the central and palatal regions at the middle height of the tooth root.
