Fumo, alcol e salute orale
No full textObiettivi. Il fumo di sigaretta, seconda causa di morte nel mondo, e l’abuso di alcol, una delle principali cause di mortalità e
morbilità, costituiscono importanti fattori di rischio per le patologie del cavo orale. Scopo di questo lavoro è presentare gli effetti
del fumo di sigaretta e dell’abuso di alcol sulla salute orale. Sono inoltre illustrate le modalità di realizzazione di interventi di
cessazione dell’abitudine al fumo nell’ambito dell’attività professionale dell’odontoiatra e dell’igienista dentale. Materiali e metodi.
Attraverso la banca dati Medline/Pubmed sono stati selezionati i lavori originali, le revisioni della letteratura e le linee guida
in lingua inglese e in italiano pubblicati sull’argomento dal 2006 al primo trimestre del 2013. Altre fonti sono state scelte dai
riferimenti bibliografici selezionati. Risultati e conclusioni. Il fumo rappresenta il più importante fattore di rischio per il carcinoma
a cellule squamose della mucosa orale e per le lesioni potenzialmente maligne; l’abuso di alcol, associato al fumo, aumenta
in modo sinergico il rischio di insorgenza del carcinoma orale. Il fumo, inoltre, dopo la placca batterica, è il secondo fattore di
rischio per l’insorgenza e la progressione della parodontite cronica, mentre ulteriori studi sono necessari per stabilire un analogo
ruolo per il consumo di alcol. L’approccio delle “5 A” rappresenta una modalità di intervento efficace che i componenti del team
odontoiatrico possono attuare con tutti i pazienti fumatori. I pazienti impegnati in tentativi di cessazione del fumo dovrebbero far
ricorso alla terapia sostitutiva nicotinica, o all’assunzione di bupropione a rilascio controllato o di vareniclina, per incrementare
significativamente le probabilità di successo del tentativo di cessazione.Objectives. Cigarette smoking, the second cause of death worldwide, and alcohol abuse, a leading cause of mortality and morbidity,
are major risk factors for oral diseases. The aim of this paper is to present the effects of cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse on oral
health. Specific strategies are also proposed to develop smoking cessation interventions in the office practice of dentists and dental
hygienists providing. Materials and methods. Original papers, reviews and guidelines on this subject, published in English and
in Italian from 2006 to the first trimester of 2013, were located in the Medline/Pubmed database. Additional publications were
obtained by searching the reference list of retrieved works. Results and conclusions. Cigarette smoking is the most important
risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma and potentially malignant oral lesions; alcohol abuse increases oral cancer risk in a
synergistic fashion. Moreover, cigarette smoking is the second risk factor for chronic periodontitis, after dental plaque, whereas
further studies are needed to assess the role of alcohol consumption on onset and progression of chronic periodontitis. The “Five
A’s” approach represents an effective protocol for smoking cessation that members of dental team can use with all smoker patients.
The patients attempting to quit should use the nicotine replacement therapy, sustained-release bupropion or varenicline in order to
significantly increase success rate of quit attempt

Digital dentures: A protocol based on intraoral scans
No full textThe use of intraoral scans for complete denture fabrication may improve patient comfort, clinic ergonomics, and laboratory efficiency. Techniques have been reported regarding specific tasks related to the use of intraoral scans for digital dentures, but an integrated workflow is still lacking. This technique article describes a complete workflow for the digital fabrication of complete dentures, starting from intraoral scans and with no physical casts; in addition, the presented workflow integrates partial and complete face scans in the design process to optimize tooth arrangement
Integrating intraoral, perioral, and facial scans into the design of digital dentures
No full textDigital technologies offer the opportunity to integrate facial scans into the design of digital dentures and provide a beneficial 3D preview and simulation of the tooth arrangement for both treatment planning and communication. The presented technique describes a procedure of merging and aligning the intraoral scans of edentulous arches, the scans of the perioral area, and the scan of the nose made by using an intraoral scanner, as well as facial scans made by using a mobile phone. Thus, a digital patient can be obtained and used to optimize individual tooth arrangement during the design of the digital denture
Intraoral Scans Alignment in Single Edentulous Arch Cases
No full textUsing intraoral scans for removable denture fabrication requires proper alignment according to maxillo-mandibular relationships. The presented technique combines intraoral and extraoral scanning of the occlusion rim to obtain intraoral scan alignment and the transfer of all information for tooth arrangement to the digital workflow. The technique was developed for single edentulous arch cases and is particularly indicated for the edentulous mandible; nonetheless, it can also be used for the maxilla if a full-size occlusion rim is required for optimal stability
