AB  - BACKGROUND: Dentists have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal (MS) pain, which is the most common symptom associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). To overcome this problem, identification of the risk factors and preventive measures for MS pain are of paramount importance to dentists in order to improve their quality of life and work. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to recognize the risk factors for MS pain and their impact on dental work, as well as to identify preventive measures of MS pain among dentists. METHODS: Self-reporting questionnaire consisting of 78 questions was exclusively developed for the study and sent to 500 working active dentists in Serbia. RESULTS: Response rate was 71.2% (356 dentists). The prevalence of MS pain was 82.6% among dentists. The main risk factors for MS pain were advanced age, female dentists, presence of chronic diseases, long working hours, and high frequency of treated patients. The most effective preventive measures in preventing MS pain were massage treatments and physical activities. Followed by use of ergonomically designed equipment, correct and dynamic working positions, and an adequate workflow organization. CONCLUSION: The risk factors for MS pain and their impact on dental work should widely be disseminated among dentists. Importantly, proper implementation in everyday life of adequate preventive measures is essential for preventing MS pain and development of WMSDs.

AB  - Aim: The purpose was to assess ergonomic risk level in dentistry, which may contribute to manifestation of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Methods and Materials: The study included ten dentists, postgraduate students, mean age (33 ± 3.4). Participants were asked to perform typical dental examination in standing and sitting positions. The surface electromyography (EMG) was recorded during dental work from both left and right shoulder muscles: descendent trapezius muscle (T); back muscles: erector spinae muscle (ES); and neck muscles: sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and splenius capitis muscle (SC). Results: High muscles forces, greater than 21% of the maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), which could be indicative of high risk, particularly occurred in muscles SC on both sides of the body in the sitting position. The medium risk level occurred in the same muscles on both sides in standing position. Left and right T muscles were under medium ergonomic risk level in both, sitting and standing working positions. SCM muscles on the left and right side of the body in both working positions were under low risk level, lower than 10% of the MVC. In sitting position, medium risk level occurred in ES muscles on both body sides, while in standing position the risk was low. Conclusion: Dentists are exposed to ergonomic risk. By combining both sitting and standing position the risk can be reduced.

AB  - Introduction Adequate working posture is important for overall health. Inappropriate posture may increase fatigue, decrease efficiency, and eventually lead to injuries. Objective The purpose was to examine posture positions used during dentistry work. Methods In order to quantify different posture positions, we recorded muscle activity and positions of body segments. The position (inclination) data of the back was used to assess two postures: sitting and standing during standard dental interventions. Results During standard interventions, whether sitting or standing, a tilt of less than 20 degrees was most prevalent in the forward and lateral flexion directions. Amplitude of electromyography signals corresponding to the level of muscle activity were higher in sitting compared with the electromyography in standing position for all muscle groups on the left and right side of the body. Significant difference between muscle activity in two working postures was evident in splenius capitis muscle on the left (p = 0.032), on the right side of the body (p = 0.049) and in muscle activity of mastoid muscle on the left side (p = 0.029). Conclusion These findings show that risk for increased fatigue and possible injures can be reduced by combining the sitting and standing occupational postures.
AB  - Uvod Neadekvatan radni položaj tokom rada stomatologa dovodi do povećanog zamora, smanjuje efikasnost i jedan je od vodećih faktora za razvoj povreda na radu među stomatolozima. Ciljevi rada Cilj rada je bio ispitati različite položaje stomatologa tokom kliničkog rada i dati preporuke za poboljšanje radne pozicije. Metode rada Površinskom elektromiografijom (EMG) registrovana je mišićna aktivnost, kao i stepen nagiba tela tokom uobičajnog stomatološkog rada prilikom rada na terapeutskoj stolici i u stajaćem položaju. Rezultati Nagib manji od 20 stepeni bio je izmeren tokom većeg dela kliničkog rada stomatologa u obe radne pozicije. Povećanje mišićne aktivnosti uočeno je prilikom rada u sedećem položaju kod svih ispitivanih mišića. Statistički značajna razlika uočena je kod M. splenius capitisa sa leve (p = 0,032) i sa desne strane (p = 0,049), dok je kod M. sternocleidomastoideusa postojala samo na levoj strani tela (p = 0,029). Zaključak Da bi se smanjio zamor i rizik za nastanak mišićno-skeletnih oboljenja, preporučuje se da stomatolozi tokom kliničkog rada kombinuju sedeći i stajaći radni položaj.

AB  - Introduction. A large numbers of studies indicate that work related diseases; mostly musculo-skeletal disorders are very frequent among dental professionals. That can be explained by the fact that dental profession is very demanding, involves providing assistance to the patients in a specific work environment. During daily work dentist are fully committed to their patients, in order to offer them professional and quality service and support. At the same time they often neglect themselves, or body position, attitude, habits during the work. It all could have implications on their health. It is very hard for the dentist to find the optimal body posture during their work. Inadequate dentist's working posture is the highest risk factor for development of muskuloskeletal disorders. Suggestions regarding the preferred position for dental work are changing together with the development of dentistry and dental equipment. Development of the sitting position in dentistry was an attempt to eliminate discomfort and fatigue. Unfortunately, the seated working position has not reduced muskuloskeletal disorders in dentistry, and optimal working positions are still topic of discussion. Those facts indicate that dental ergonomics as very young science presents the focus of interests of many professionals. Dental ergonomics is an adaptation of the work environment and working methods of dentist and other members of the team, with full respect of their physical and mental capacities, in order to perform professional activities in healthy, safe and comfortable way. Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the muscle activity of the neck, shoulders and back muscles, during dental examination in sitting and standing dentist's work position, to determine when occurrence of pain begin among dentists during their career, investigate the prevalence of pain during dental work among population of dentists, as well as to identify preventive measures.

AB  - Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) harbors a recurring t(11;19) translocation with an associated novel fusion oncogene-MECT1-MAML2. The CRTC1-MAML2oncogene disrupts normal cell-cycle and differentiation, contributing to tumor development. The objectives of this study were to establish the incidence of CRTC1-MAML2 fusion in Serbian patients and estimate its relevance as a genetic marker of MEC behavior. In this retrospective study, 20 cases of MEC of salivary glands were tested for the presence of CRTC1-MAML2 fusion using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Clinicopathological parameters and survival data were examined in relation to fusion status. The CRTC1-MAML2 fusion was detected in 40% of MECs and its presence was associated exclusively with low-intermediate grade tumor histology (P = 0.02) and favorable clinical outcome, with 100 % overall survival rate (P=0.046). The study has shown that the presence of the CRTC1-MAML2 fusion can serve as an additional diagnostic and prognostic marker for mucoepidermoid carcinomas.

AB  - Background. Traumatic injuries of permanent teeth with incomplete root formation are frequent during childhood. Adequate therapy is important for the further destiny of teeth with damaged pulp. Objectives. To evaluate the effect of pulpotomy and high pulpotomy on the pulp and on root development, and the effect of platelet rich plasma (PRP) with hydroxyapatite (HAP) as a carrier and hydroxyapatite alone on apexogenesis. Material and Methods. The study included eight monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) in which high pulpotomies were performed on the mandibular lateral incisors and canines, and pulpotomies were performed on the mandibular central incisors and premolars. The materials used in the study were commercial HAP (Apatec (R), Stomygen) and PR? (prepared at the Torlak Institute of Immunology and Virology, Belgrade, Serbia). Histological and radiological evaluations were done six months after the treatment. Results. Considering the differences between HAP+PRP treated teeth in the pulpotomy group and teeth in the high pulpotomy group, two times more root growth retardation was observed in the high pulpotomy group. In the high pulpotomy group, root growth retardation was less common in HAP+PRP treated teeth (42.9%) than in HAP treated teeth (50%). In the pulpotomy group, retardation of root development was also less common in HAP+PRP treated teeth (25%) compared to HAP treated teeth (50%). There were differences between the pulpotomy and high pulpotomy groups, but without statistical significance. Conclusions. The application of endogenous growth factors in conjunction with the preservation of dental pulp vitality can result in a good outcome for pulp therapy of injured teeth, which means successfully completed apexogenesis

AB  - Platelet-reach plasma (PRP) is an attractive tool in regenerative medicine due to its ability to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Since dental pulp derived stem cells are recognized as central in apexogenesis, the aim of the study was to evaluate radiologically and histologically effects of PRP on apexogenesis in teeth with immature roots. The study included eight monkeys (Cercopithecus Aethiops) divided in two equal groups for evaluation 3 and 12 months after treatment. All participants obtained the same treatment including pulpotomy and after-treatment with: hydroxiapatite (HA)-incisor and HA+canine PRP. Radiological evaluation was performed using the long cone paralleling technique for recording of defined parameters and histological evaluation was performed using tissue removed en block for the observation of parameters related to apexogenesis. The results obtained radiologically and histologically have shown increase in bridge formation in HA+PRP (75%) group after 3 months comparing to HA group (50%). Contrary to that, after 12 months there were no significant differences between groups. The root delay was not registered in the HA+PRP group contrary to HA group where it was registered in 25% after 12 months. Results of the study suggest that PRP is a powerful tool for intensive and rapid apexogenesis since it offers clear and comprehensive results (mostly in the first three months) which are early radiologically visible without any failure in the proposed requests.

Dobijeni rezultati su radiološki i histološki za dentinski most posle 3 meseca ukazali na porast u grupi HA+PRP (75%) u poređenju sa HA grupom (50%). Nasuprot tome, posle 12 meseci nije bilo razlike među grupama. Zaostatak u razvoju korena nije utvrđen u HA+PRP grupi za razliku od HA grupe gde je utvrđen zaostatak u 25% slučajeva. Rezultati studije navode na zaključak da je PRP moćno sredstvo za brzu i intezivnu apeksogenezu zbog toga što daje jasne i sveobuhvatne rezultate (najviše u prva tri meseca), koji su radiološki rano vidljivi.

AB  - Objective: Recent epidemiological studies have shown that individuals with periodontitis have significantly increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. Although the mechanism responsible for the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular events is not fully understood, it is hypothesized that the removal of infection and inflammatory burden of periodontitis by therapy would be accompanied by a decrease in levels of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein and a decreased risk of coronary heart disease. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the presence of chronic periodontitis and periodontal pathogens and subsequent periodontal treatment could influence the serum levels of C-reactive protein in a Serbian cohort. Material and Methods: Fifty adults with moderate to severe periodontitis who underwent complete mouth disinfection were evaluated to determine if periodontal therapy would result in decreased periodontal infammation and lower serum levels of an inflammatory marker. Subjects underwent measuring of periodontal disease severity and serum C-reactive protein, and periodontal pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) at the time of the baseline visit and again 6 and 12 months after treatment. Serum levels CRP were also obtained from 25 subjects without periodontitis in a control group. Results: The levels of CRP in the serum seemed not to be lower than those reported in other population in Western European countries. There were significant changes in clinical periodontal values, CRP levels and presence of periodontal pathogens when baseline values were compared to those taken after periodontal treatment completion. Conclusion: The obtained results confirm the hypothesis that periodontal therapy may contribute to elimination of periodontal inflammation and periodontal pathogens, and reduce serum level of CRP. Periodontitis may contribute to the systemic inflammatory burden of affected individuals since it was shown that periodontal therapy may decrease presence of periodontal pathogens and inflammatory markers.

AB  - Periodontitis has been identified as a potential risk factor for systemic pathologies such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aims of this investigation were to assess the relationship between periodontitis and systemic inflammatory factor, as well as to discover whether there is a relation to the severity of periodontitis and to the periodontopathogens. Periodontal examinations and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level measurements were performed in 50 patients with periodontitis. Periodontal health indicators included the gingival bleeding on probing index and periodontal disease status. The patients with moderate periodontitis had low attachment loss and pocket depth  lt  4 mm. The patients with severe periodontitis had high attachment loss and pocket depth > 5 mm. The control group comprised 25 volunteers with healthy gingiva, gingival sulcus  lt  2 mm and no attachment loss. The presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in subgingival plaque samples was analysed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The periodontal parameters and CRP levels were significantly higher in the patients with periodontitis. Patients who had severe periodontitis, with high levels of mean clinical attachment loss, and subjects with moderate periodontitis had higher mean CRP levels. The percentage of subjects with elevated levels of CRP > 5 mg/l was greater in the higher clinical attachment loss group compared to the group with lower attachment loss. The presence of P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans were also associated with elevated CRP levels and poor periodontal status. Periodontitis and the presence of P. gingivalis are associated with an enhanced inflammatory response expressed by higher CRP levels. The association of periodontitis with CRP levels appears to be a contributing factor for CVD and might be a possible intermediate pathway in this association.
