    Dental Anxiety and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Children Following Dental Rehabilitation under General Anesthesia or Intravenous Sedation: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study
    (2018) Guney, S. E.; Araz, C.; Tirali, R. E.; Cehreli, S. B.; 0000-0002-4927-6660; 0000-0001-6487-3984; 30297563; AAJ-4576-2021; AAD-2907-2020; AAD-6138-2021
    Purpose: The study aimed to investigate dental anxiety and oral health-related quality of life among children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (GA) and intravenous sedation (IVS). Materials and Methods: Participants were 99 healthy children aged 3-5 or 6-12 years operated under GA or IVS. Dental anxiety before treatment and 1 month postoperatively were measured using the Frankl behavior scale (FBS), the venham picture test (VPT), the early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS), and the children's fear survey schedule-dental subscale (CFSS-DS). Data were analyzed using Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test. Results: ECOHIS scores decreased in all groups. VPT scores increased in the 3-5-year-olds treated under GA (P = 0.003). Postoperative CFSS-DS anxiety scores were lower in IVS groups. FBS scores were significantly higher for both age groups (P < 0.001). There was no effect of numbers of extracted or treated teeth. Conclusions: Dental rehabilitation under GA and IVS improved the quality of life and dental behavior. In the 6-12-year-olds, there was no statistically significant difference between children undergoing dental operations under GA and those undergoing dental operations under IVS. Dental anxiety decreased in 3-5-year-olds after treatment under GA but not after IVS.

    Riga-Fede disease like ulcers in old age: A case report
    (2019) Mansur, Ayse Tulin; Deniz, Kagan; Ozdemir, Kerem
    Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a traumatic, reactive benign disorder characterized by persistent ulceration on the tip or ventral surface of the tongue, seen mainly in infants and children. Lesions tend to develop after the eruption of natal or primary incisors, resulting from repetitive traumatic damage due to backward and forward movements of the tongue over the lower incisors. A literature survey has revealed a very limited number of reported cases of RFD in adults. Herein we reported a 70-year-old female patient who developed RFD-like ulcers on the tongue and buccal mucosa during the previous two months, while under treatment of dental implants. Histopathological examination and direct immunofluorescence of the ulcers and periulcer area did not yield a specific diagnosis. The lesions were resistant to systemic steroid treatment, however, after applying for a soft dental plate nightly for protection of the tongue and buccal mucosa, all ulcers completely healed in two months. With regard to the presented patient, we have reviewed the cases of RFD or RFD-like ulcers reported in adults and discussed the factors contributing to ulcer formation in our patient.
