Association of oral health status and salivary profile of rheumatoid arthritis disease subjects and healthy subjects and prediction of caries risk using cariogram- A cross-sectional analytical study

BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent inflammatory condition that predominantly affects the joints. However, it also affects the oral health, including temporomandibular joint abnormalities, periodontal disease, and xerostomia. Although these correlations exist, there is little proof that RA is associated with certain markers of dental health. The purpose of this study is to close this gap by assessing the salivary profile and oral health status of RA patients.AimTo assess and contrast the salivary profile and oral health status of people with rheumatoid arthritis with that of healthy controls.ObjectivesTo evaluate.1. Periodontal health and caries experience using WHO guidelines Adult oral health proforma (2013)2. Salivary parameters using a salivary kit.3. Cariogram-based assessment of caries risk.4. Association between Rheumatoid arthritis and Oral health.MethodsA total of ninety volunteers were enrolled, forty-seven of whom were age-matched healthy individuals and forty-three of whom were patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A structured questionnaire, clinical assessment, and saliva collection were used in the data gathering process. Dental health was evaluated using the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Adults (2013), and salivary flow rate and pH were monitored. The Reduced Cariogram model was used to assess the risk of caries. SPSS version 22 was used for the statistical analysis, with significance set at p < 0.05.ResultsCompared to controls, those with RA had significantly higher rates of dental caries, more gingival bleeding, and deeper periodontal pockets (p < 0.05). Patients with RA also showed decreased salivary pH and decreased stimulated and unstimulated salivary flow rates. Salivary flow rates were found to be negatively correlated with pocket depth, gingival bleeding, and dental caries. Furthermore, the Cariogram showed that patients with arthritis had a higher incidence of dental caries.ConclusionThe findings suggest that dental health is negatively impacted by rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with RA have a higher prevalence of dental caries and periodontitis likely due to impaired salivary profile. These results highlight the significance of thorough oral health evaluations and customized preventive methods for people with rheumatoid arthritis in order to lessen oral health issues.

Oral Manifestations of Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome with an Interdisciplinary Management Approach – A Case Report

Author: Archana, M ; Jayachandran, Sadaksharam

ABSTRACTSjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a prevalence of 1%, characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, especially the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to the sicca syndrome and systemic manifestations. Oral manifestations are encountered with high frequency in chronic autoimmune diseases like SS and are often the first clinical signs or symptoms leading to the diagnosis of the systemic disease. Xerostomia, gingivitis, rampant dental caries, tongue depapillation, dry cracked lips, oral candidiasis, and salivary gland enlargement are the common oral manifestations of SS. These oral lesions should be systematically managed using a holistic approach to improve the quality of life of the patient. In this paper, we are presenting a case of primary SS in a young female patient managed using an interdisciplinary approach with a focus on the management of oral conditions. In this case, we used transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy to stimulate the salivary glands. At the end of the 14th appointment of TENS, the salivary flow rate was increased to 0.3 mL/min from 0.1 mL/min with symptomatic relief. In this case, we found an increase in the salivary flow rate at the end of TENS therapy, suggesting that it may be useful as an effective supportive treatment modality in SS patients. It is a noninvasive and painless mode of therapy. Early diagnosis and intervention of autoimmune diseases leads to decreased morbidity and improved quality of life of the patient. The reader should understand that an interdisciplinary approach is to be followed for the overall management of the disease with the involvement of primary care doctors, rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, and experts in oral medicine.

Comparative Evaluation of the Bond Strength Between Bioflx, Stainless Steel Crowns, and Stainless Steel Bands Using Type 1 Glass Ionomer Cement and Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Cement as Luting Agents: An In Vitro Study

Aim and backgroundThe retention of the band and loop space maintainer over the stainless steel crowns (SSCs) dictates the success of the space maintainer. Using two widely used luting agents, this study assesses the binding strength between SS bands and the most popular SSCs as well as the recently released Bioflx crowns.Materials and methodsThis in vitro study consisted of 48 samples divided into four groups. Type I glass ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) were used to cement stainless steel (SS) bands over SSCs and Bioflx crowns. The shear bond strength was tested using a universal testing apparatus. To determine the degree of significance, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), post-hoc Tukey's test, and a p-value maintained at ≤0.05 were utilized.ResultsThe shear bond strength between the SSC and RMGIC (0.908 ± 0.20 MPa) was statistically significant and higher than between the SSC and GIC (0.362 ± 0.21 MPa). Though not statistically significant, the binding strength between Bioflx crowns and GIC was stronger than between Bioflx crowns and RMGIC.ConclusionThe SS bands bonded well to the SSCs with RMGIC, and there was no significant difference between the SSCs and Bioflx crowns with GIC as the luting agent. Cohesive failures were common with GIC, and adhesive failures were common with RMGIC in both crowns.Clinical significanceThe present study's findings can help clinicians make informed decisions when choosing crowns and luting agents for teeth with SSCs.How to cite this articleSingh D, Rao A, Shenoy R, et al.
