Background
To report the outcome of guided endodontic treatment (GET) of a case of dentin dysplasia with pulp canal calcification (PCC) and apical periodontitis based on the use of a 3D-printed template designed by merging cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and surface scan data.
Case presentation
A 12-year old female with radicular dentin dysplasia type I (DD-1) presented for endodontic treatment. Radiography revealed PCC in all teeth and apical radiolucency in seven teeth (12, 15, 26, 31, 32, 36 and 46). Tooth 36 had the most acute symptoms and was thus treated first by conventional access cavity preparation and root canal detection. Despite meticulous technique, the distal and mesiolingual canals were perforated. The perforations were immediately repaired with mineral trioxide aggregate, and the decision was made to switch to guided endodontic treatment for the remaining 6 teeth. CBCT and intraoral surface scans were acquired and matched using coDiagnostix planning software (Dental Wings Inc.), the respective drill positions for root canal location were determined, and templates were virtually designed and 3D-printed. The template was positioned on the respective tooth, and a customized drill was used to penetrate the calcified part of the root canal and perform minimally invasive access cavity preparation up to the apical region. All root canals were rapidly and successfully located with the templates. At 1-year follow-up, clear signs of apical healing were present in all treated teeth.
Conclusions
In patients with dentin dysplasia, conventional endodontic therapy is challenging. GET considerably facilitates the root canal treatment of teeth affected by dentin dysplasia.
Ziel der Untersuchung:
Verglichen wurden die räumlichen Abweichungen der Bohrpfade nach virtueller Planung von Schablonen geführten Trepanationen mit Hilfe der Softwaresysteme SicatEndo (SE) und coDiagnostiX (CDX) und der benötigte Arbeitsaufwand.
Material und Methode:
Basierend auf µCT-Datensätzen von humanen obliterierten Frontzähnen wurden identische Kunststoffzähne und acht Zahnmodelle (4 Ober-, 4 Unterkiefer) hergestellt. Es wurde jeweils ein DVT und ein Oberflächenscan angefertigt. Diese Datensätze (DICOM; STL) wurden in die Softwaresysteme importiert und fusioniert. Anschließend wurden die Bohrpfade für je 16 Probenzähne pro Software geplant. Mit Hilfe der erstellten Schablonen wurden alle Trepanationen an den im Phantomkopf fixierten Modellen von einem Behandler durchgeführt. Nach Erschließung des apikalen Wurzelkanalanteils wurde ein DVT angefertigt und mit dem präoperativen DVT überlagert. Die räumliche drei-dimensionale (3D) Abweichung zwischen virtuell geplantem und tatsächlichem Bohrpfad wurde über die Vektorlänge bestimmt und der Arbeitsaufwand anhand der Planungszeit und der Anzahl der Mausklicks pro Kiefer erfasst.
Ergebnisse:
Für die Trepanationen mit SE zeigten sich signifikant geringe Abweichungen an der Bohrerspitze vestibulär-oral [CDX 0,54mm ± 0,32mm; SE 0,12mm ± 0,11mm; p < 0.05], 3D [CDX 0,74mm ± 0,26 mm; SE 0,35mm ± 0,17mm; p < 0.05] und hinsichtlich des Winkels [CDX 1,57° ± 0,76°; SE 0,68° ± 0,41°; p < 0.05] als mit CDX. Für CDX war der Planungsaufwand signifikant geringer als für SE hinsichtlich Planungszeit [CDX Ø 10min 50sec; SE Ø 20min 28sec] und hinsichtlich der Anzahl der Klicks pro Kiefer [CDX Ø 107; SE Ø 341].
Zusammenfassung:
Beide Planungssysteme ermöglichen ausreichend präzise Schablonen geführte Bohrungen zur Erschließung apikaler Wurzelkanalanteile.
Objective: The assessment of response to lithium maintenance treatment in bipolar disorder (BD) is complicated by variable length of treatment, unpredictable clinical course, and often inconsistent compliance. Prospective and retrospective methods of assessment of lithium response have been proposed in the literature. In this study we report the key phenotypic measures of the "Retrospective Criteria of Long-Term Treatment Response in Research Subjects with Bipolar Disorder" scale currently used in the Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) study.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine ConLiGen sites took part in a two-stage case-vignette rating procedure to examine inter-rater agreement [Kappa (\(\kappa\))] and reliability [intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC)] of lithium response. Annotated first-round vignettes and rating guidelines were circulated to expert research clinicians for training purposes between the two stages. Further, we analyzed the distributional properties of the treatment response scores available for 1,308 patients using mixture modeling.
Results: Substantial and moderate agreement was shown across sites in the first and second sets of vignettes (\(\kappa\) = 0.66 and \(\kappa\) = 0.54, respectively), without significant improvement from training. However, definition of response using the A score as a quantitative trait and selecting cases with B criteria of 4 or less showed an improvement between the two stages (\(ICC_1 = 0.71\) and \(ICC_2 = 0.75\), respectively). Mixture modeling of score distribution indicated three subpopulations (full responders, partial responders, non responders).
Conclusions: We identified two definitions of lithium response, one dichotomous and the other continuous, with moderate to substantial inter-rater agreement and reliability. Accurate phenotypic measurement of lithium response is crucial for the ongoing ConLiGen pharmacogenomic study.
