    A Rare Case of a Large Plunging Ranula with Cervical Extension: Imaging, Diagnosis, and Management
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Ra-ed Al-Sadhan
    Keywords: Ranula, Sublingual salivary gland, Neck masses.
    Abstract. A plunging ranula is a mucous extravasation cyst appearing as a swelling in the submental and
    submandibular regions. We describe a rare case of massive deep diving cervical ranula involving multiple tissue
    spaces and extending to the upper mediastinum. The unusual course of events following surgical excision of the
    submandibular gland is presented. A Computerized Tomography (CT) scan revealed the true extent of the lesion
    and its relationship to the surrounding structures. Other imaging techniques and diagnostic tests are discussed and
    relevant literature is reviewed.

    Dental Caries in Saudi Cleft Lip and Palate Patients Attending a Teaching Dental Institution
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Abdullah M. Aldrees
    Keywords: Cleft lip, Cleft palate, Dental caries, Oral hygiene, Saudi.
    Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the dental caries experience in a group of patients with cleft
    lip/palate (CLP) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A retrospective study was designed to review the dental files of all CLP
    patients referred to the College of Dentistry, King Saud University (KSU) between 1999 and 2006. Data including:
    demographic information, type of dentition, attendance to the CLP clinic, oral hygiene, treatment setting used, and
    caries status were recorded for each patient. A total of 165 dental files of cleft affected patients (108 male, 57
    female) were included in the study. Only 21.2% of the patients were first seen before the age of 6 years. The
    majority of the patients (61.8%) had poor oral hygiene, and about 50% of the patients did not regularly attend to
    the dental clinic. Primary teeth were more carious (55.4%) than the permanent teeth (41.2%). The results of this
    study show that: Patients affected with CLP treated at KSU had a high level of dental caries experience, and twothirds
    of them had poor oral hygiene.

    The Effect of Different Types of Gloves on the Setting Time of Polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) Putty Impresion Materials
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Mohammed Q. Al-Qahtani; Abed S. Al-Jabab; Ibrahim M. Al-Motlaq
    Keywords: Setting time, Putty material, Polyvinylsiloxane, Vinyl gloves, Latex gloves.
    Abstract. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different types of gloves on the setting time of
    two brands of polyvinylsiloxane putty impression materials.
    Seven brands of gloves (Vitex, LEG, LG, Proguard, NRL, Modern and Peha-Taft) were used for mixing
    two brands of polyvinylsiloxane putty impression materials (President and Reprosil). The setting times of these
    two putties were tested and compared to control group (mixing with washed ungloved hand). The setting times of
    putties were tested using a machine called “Oscillating Rheometer”. The putties were mixed according to the
    manufacturer's recommendation and then placed under the arm of the Oscillating Rheometer to record the setting
    time of the putty materials. The machine was adapted to let the material set at 37ºC temperature (oral temperature).
    After every trial the machine was cleaned well. Hands were washed thoroughly with water and dried well with
    paper towel. Every recording was reposted in special table. The maximum time to allow the material to set was 15
    minutes (900 seconds).
    The vinyl gloves tested had no effect on the setting time of President and Reprosil putties. Some brands of
    latex gloves caused severe retardation or complete inhibition on the setting process of the tested impression
    materials.

    In vitro Evaluation of Microleakage in Contaminated Fissures Sealed with GC Fuji Triage Glass Ionomer Cement
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Asma Al-Jobair
    Abstract. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage of Fuji Triage glass ionomer in
    contaminated pits and fissures, and to compare it with the microleakage of resin-based pit and fissure sealant.
    Sixty-four extracted human premolar teeth were randomly assigned into two main groups according to the fissure
    sealant used (Fuji Triage or ClinproTM). Each group was divided into four subgroups according to the different
    surface conditions as follows: (1= dry condition; 2= water contamination; 3= saliva contamination; 4= saliva
    contamination and air-drying). The teeth were subjected to thermal cycling (500 cycles at 5oC-55oC) with a dwell
    time of 30 seconds. The teeth were then immersed in 1% methylene blue for 24 hours, embedded in acrylic resin
    and sectioned longitudinally in a buccolingual direction. The sections were analyzed for microleakage using a
    stereomicroscope. Microleakage was evaluated on a three-point rating scale and was analyzed using t and
    ANOVA tests. Both materials, under different conditions, exhibited dye penetration to some extent. However, Fuji
    Triage cement showed less microleakage in wet conditions compared to ClinproTM group. Whenever wet (water or
    saliva) contamination is apparent, the use of Fuji Triage cement as a sealing material would be beneficial to
    decrease microleakage.

    A Comparative Orthognathic Cephalometric Study Among Saudi, African-American and Japanese Adults: Hard Tissue Measurements
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Laila F. Baidas; Sahar F. Al-Barakati
    Keywords: Burstone analysis, Hard-tissue measurements, Orthognathic surgery, Saudi adult, Black American
    adult, Japanese adult, Comparison, Ethnic difference.
    Abstract. The purpose of the present investigation was to compare hard tissue analysis obtained from Saudi adults
    with reference data of Japanese and African-American adults in order to determine the differences of the hard
    tissue analysis between different ethnic groups. Sixty-two lateral cephalometric radiographs were collected from
    the archives of cephalometric radiograph files taken by dental students of King Saud University, College of
    Dentistry (31 females and 31 males), age range was 22-24 years. The lateral cephalometric radiographs were
    analyzed and the mean values of hard and dental measurement were compared with those of African-American
    adults, and the Japanese adults. The results showed Saudi males compared to Black had significantly: increased
    anterior cranial base, and reduced posterior cranial base, reduced facial convexity, maxillary protrusion, and
    maxillary length. Saudi adult females had smaller upper posterior facial height and lower anterior facial height,
    downward tipping of maxilla, smaller vertical dental heights, reduced total mandibular body length, and less
    proclination of lower incisors. Saudi adults compared to Japanese had significantly: increased anterior cranial
    base, reduced posterior cranial base, prognathic maxilla, prominent chin, smaller vertical lower dental heights,
    smaller ramus and obtuse gonial angle in males, less proclination of upper and lower incisors, and less steep
    occlusal plane to horizontal plane.
    This study may be useful in providing racially specific cephalometric values for diagnosis and treatment
    planning for orthognathic surgery of Saudi adults. It might represent true differences in skeletal and dental features
    between the three racial groups.

    Timing and Frequency of Lip, Palate and Bone Graft Surgeries in Saudi Cleft Patients
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Khalid M. Al-Balkhi
    Keywords: Cleft, Lip, Palate, Patients, Repair, Surgeries, Saudi.
    Abstract. The study sample consisted of 76 cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Age, gender, region of residency,
    information related to the different types of CLP surgical repairs were investigated. The results showed that
    patients' age range was 5-37, with an average of 16.2 ± 5.3 years. Males 61.8% were more than female 38.2%
    (P=0.007). The majority 84.2% of patients were from the central region (P=0.000). The majority of lip repairs
    74.4%, and palatal repairs 61.5% were performed within the professional recommended age of 3-6 months and 1-2
    years respectively (P=0.000). The timing of alveolar bone graft showed a wide age variability. The majority 75.0%
    of lip repairs was done once (P-0.000), 18.4% were done twice, and 1.3% were done three times. The majority
    67.1% of palatal repairs were done at least twice. 43.3% were done once, 23.7% were done twice, 7.9% were done
    three times and 2.6% were done four times. The majority (81.5%) of bone graft surgeries were done once
    (P=0.000). Satisfaction of the surgical results with no need for further revisions were 65.8% for lip, 70.9% for
    palatal and 86.8% for bone graft surgeries.

    Prediction of Mandibular Growth Potential Using Cervical Vertebral Bone Age in Saudi Subjects
    (دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/2010) Adel M. Alhadlaq
    Keywords: Mandibular growth potential, Cervical vertebral bone age, Growth modification, Saudi, Prediction.
    Abstract. Assessment of mandibular growth potential is an essential component of proper diagnosis and treatment
    planning in orthodontics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of utilizing the cervical vertebral
    bone age method to predict the mandibular growth potential in a group of growing Saudi individuals. The sample
    consisted of the lateral cephalometric radiographs of untreated 84 Saudi subjects (33 male and 51 female) with
    class I skeletal relationship. The subjects were divided based on the gender and chronological age into four groups:
    young male (n = 15, 10.06 ± 0.25 years), young female group (n = 30, 12 ± 1.58 years), adult male (n =18, 21.29 ±
    3.42 years), and adult female (n =21, 21 ± 3.15 years). The mandibular growth potential in each young subject was
    calculated using an established cervical vertebral bone age method. No significant difference (p<0.05) was found
    between the mandibular length value predicted by the cervical vertebral bone age and the actual mandibular length
    in the adult group for both genders. The findings of this study demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the cervical
    vertebral bone age method in predicting the mandibular growth potential in growing Saudi subjects and can be
    found clinically useful during treatment planning for jaw growth modification therapy.
