    Abstract Background: Hepatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the liver, which can be caused by several viruses including hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. This condition can affect the oral health of patients and increase the risk of complications during dental management. The clinical management of hepatitis patients in the dental setting requires a comprehensive and individualized approach to ensure safety and optimal treatment outcomes. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on the dental management of patients with different forms of hepatitis.
    Methods: The article focuses on the specific challenges associated with dental treatments in hepatitis patients, including increased risk of infection and bleeding. Additionally, the article provides recommendations for dental practitioners, including infection control measures, communication with medical providers, and the use of prophylactic antibiotics.
    Results: The authors show that the dental management of patients with hepatitis requires a thorough understanding of the specific challenges associated with this condition, as well as the implementation of appropriate preventive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of these patients.
    Conclusions: Further research is needed to better understand the impact of hepatitis on oral health and the most effective approaches to managing dental treatments in this patient population.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate some of the clinical variables that influence the accuracy of reproducing the planned attachment shape. The following clinical variables were considered: the template material, type of composite, and pressure application on the template during attachment curing.
    Methods: In this study, the evaluated materials for the thermoplastic transfer template construction are Erkolen 0.8 (polyethylene: PE) and Erkodur 0.8 (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-PET-G), and two types of composite resins: Enaflow (light-curing low-viscosity composite resin) and Enamel plus dentina HRI (light-curing high-viscosity composite resin). Two different light-curing lamps were used: Valo cordless color with no pressure and push light pressure (SCS). The 26 models included in the study were imported into the 3 Shape Ortho System 2022 (ver. 85.0.20 3 Shape, Denmark), and attachments were virtually placed on the dental elements of the first premolar and on both sides of the first upper molars. The accuracy of the attachment reproduction was evaluated through linear and angular evaluations against the reference model (MCAD). Three physical models were obtained: model A (MA), which was printed with attachments; model B (MB) with attachments made with a PE template; and model C (MC) with attachments made with a PET-G template.
    Results: The results showed statistically significant differences (
    Conclusions: In light of the obtained data, using a PET-G template is recommended. The pressure application during composite curing reduces the reproduction accuracy with a low-viscosity composite.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to determine the effectiveness of the platelet-rich fibrin in the control of pain associated with alveolar osteitis.
    Materials and methods: Reporting was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Scopus databases to identify all clinical studies on the application of platelet-rich fibrin in the control of pain caused by alveolar osteitis. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers and qualitatively described.
    Results: The initial search returned 81 articles, with 49 identified after duplicates removal; of these, 8 were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Three of the eight studies were randomized controlled clinical trials, and four were non-randomized clinical studies, two of which were controlled. One study was case series. In all of these studies, pain control was evaluated using the visual analog scale. Overall, the use of platelet-rich fibrin resulted effective in the control of pain determined by alveolar osteitis.
    Conclusions: Within the limits of this scoping review, the application of platelet-rich fibrin in the post-extra-extraction alveolus reduced the pain associated with alveolar osteitis in almost all the included studies. Nevertheless, high-quality randomized trials with adequate sample size are warranted to draw firm conclusions.
    Clinical relevance: Pain associated with alveolar osteitis causes discomfort to the patient and is challenging to be treated. Use of platelet-rich fibrin could be a promising clinical strategy for pain control in alveolar osteitis if its effectiveness will be confirmed by further high-quality studies.

    Abstract Background: The aim of the present work was to analyze a 10-year retrospective series of surgically treated medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) cases, reporting the clinical outcome and success rate for each adopted procedure in order to draw a treatment algorithm that is able to standardize clinical decision making and maximize the success of oral surgical treatment of MRONJ.
    Methods: Different surgical approaches were categorized taking into consideration two variables a) hard tissue management (defined as debridement, saucerization or marginal resective surgery of maxillary necrotic bone) and b) soft tissue management (defined as type of flap design and related modality of wound-healing).
    Results: For the retrospective cohort study, 103 MRONJ patients were enrolled and a total of 128 surgical procedures were performed. The role of radical-intended surgery using local flaps in MRONJ treatment was investigated, as well as palliative treatments. All stage I-II patients completely healed when a combination of radical necrotic bone surgery associated with a first intention healing of soft tissues was obtained. In stage III, when a patient was not eligible for maxillo-facial surgery, the use of palliative surgical strategies was effective in symptom relief in order to maintain a better quality of life for the duration of the patient's life.
    Conclusions: Oral surgery with radical intent associated with a flap design able to ensure first intention healing might represent a valid option for the majority of MRONJ patients. The designed decision tree allows clinicians to assess individual surgical approaches for MRONJ treatment in accordance with patient-centered outcomes and surgical skills.

    Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak has raised concerns about infection control all over the world. Among health workers, dentists are particularly exposed to the COVID-19 infection risk. The aim of this paper is to present a workflow to manage dental procedures already in use at the Dental Unit of the University Hospital of Messina. The proposed workflow accounts for the many aspects of dental practitioners' risk in the COVID-19 era, and focuses on the assessment of patient risk level, a two-phase dental procedure management (remote and face-to-face), and the use of specific preventive measures. No cases of COVID-19 infection were detected among patients and staff of the dental unit in a two-month period of time while using this protocol. This workflow seems a promising and effective solution to manage dental procedures during the COVID-19 outbreak, and could be implemented in both public and private practices until the emergency is contained.

    Abstract The aim of the present work is to evaluate the most suitable surgical technique in relation to location and extent of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) through comparison of success rate between the routinely used mucoperiostal flaps and different local flaps designs and propose a standardization of surgical procedures according to MRONJ stage and localization with 2 objectives: to provide the surgeon with an algorithm of treatment according to MRONJ localization and extension; to maximize the success of surgical treatment.Thirteen consecutive patients affected by focal MRONJ were surgically treated with radical osteotomy at the Center for Treatment of the Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (University of Messina, Italy).Initial defects were classified according to the classification of the Italian Societies of Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery (the SICMF-SIPMO staging system) which consider not only bone exposure but also radiological bone involvement. Treatment outcome was retrospectively assessed according to the different adopted surgical procedure: mucoperiostal flaps (GROUP A) advanced mucoperiostal flaps or rotation flaps (GROUP B) local flaps (GROUP C).Outcome after surgical treatment of focal MRONJ was positive in every group irrespective of MRONJ localization and extension. This may be due to the appropriate selection of surgical procedure.The results obtained demonstrated that focal MRONJ surgical treatment is a reliable procedure irrespective of the initial clinical situation. Radical osteotomy combined with appropriate selection of soft tissue management is crucial.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a treatment with electro-neuro-feedback (ENF), a portable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device, on the clinical outcome and inflammatory biochemical parameters related to the impacted lower third molar surgery.
    Materials and methods: A randomized, split-mouth, and single-blind study was conducted on 32 patients requiring lower third molars extractions and referred to the Oral Surgery Unit of the School of Dentistry of the University of Messina. Every patient underwent surgical removal of both lower third molars. The first extraction included a placebo (electrodes placement with turned-off device) treatment following the surgery, while the second had the ENF used next to the avulsion and the following days. Clinical parameters were collected 4 days before, immediately after, 2, 4, and 7 days after the surgical procedure. Biochemical parameters were obtained 1 day before the surgical removal and 7 days after. Data were processed using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, with significance being set at
    Results: Clinical outcome parameters showed a significant improvement after the ENF treatment, while considered inflammatory markers expressed different patterns.
    Conclusions: ENF, a reliable portable TENS device, has demonstrated to be a useful tool in the managing of the postsurgical phases, reducing edema, pain, and consequent pain-killers consumption.
