Dear Colleagues,
It is an honor to serve as the president of the 12th Annual Meeting of the Iranian
Division of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). It is a pleasure
to have such a large group of researchers from different domains, including
Craniofacial Biology, Biomaterials, Caries and Epidemiologic researches,
Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry, Implants, Pathology, Biology and
Regeneration of the Pulp, Periodontics, Pedodontics, Stem Cells and Laser. All
presentations and workshops will be held at the Imam Ali (PBUH) Cultural Center and
are open for all to attend.
Each scientific group has the option to invite a keynote speaker to give an overview of
their research in their area of expertise. Delegates can benefit from these presentations
by getting an overall understanding of what is currently being done in other disciplines.
The meeting will enable participants and researchers to expand their national and
international collaborations and will also provide an opportunity for sharing their
valuable knowledge and experiences.
During the opening ceremony, we will have honor of presenting a video clip from the
outstanding icon and father of the modern orthodontics of Iran, Professor Ali A.
Bahreman.
Our distinguished lecturer and keynote speaker Professor Lobat Tayebi will present her
cutting edge research on “The Application of Microfluidic Approach in VEGF
Delivery for Treatment of Critically-Sized Craniofacial Defects” and from the

Keynote Lectures
Clinical Concepts in Peri-Implant Plastic Surgery
G.Ali.Gholami, DDS, MS, Periodontist1,2,3
1. Professor of Periodontics, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2. Founder of Perio Implant Fellowship, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 3. Director of Perio - implant fellowship program, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 4. Founder of the Iranian osteology symposiums
Objectives: To our knowledge, there has been no report of bone-added periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage procedures in humans. The aim of the present investigation was to present a technique with a combination of bone substitute, CTG, and CPF to create some space for osteoconduction and soft tissue coverage over denuded roots.
Methods: A 23 year-old female was referred to our private clinic with a severe class II Miller recession and a lack of attached gingiva. The suggested treatment plan comprised of root coverage combined with xenograft bone particles.
Results: The grafted area healed well and full coverage was achieved at the 12-month follow-up visit. Bone-added periodontal plastic surgery can be considered as a practical procedure for management of deep gingival recession without buccal bone plate.
Conclusions: The main advantages of RPC graft can be summarized as follows: achieving a stable primary closure during bone remodeling, saving or creating sufficient vestibular depth, making adequate keratinized gingiva on the buccal surface, and being aesthetically pleasing.

Dental Public Health: The Past, Present and Future
Mohammad H. Khoshnevisan, DMD, DPHDent, DrPH, PhD, ADI Fellow 1, 2, 3
1 Director, Preventive Dentistry Research Center, Dental Research Institute, School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti
University of Medical Sciences (SBMU), Tehran, Iran. 2 Associate Professor and Chair, Dental Public Health Program,
Community Oral health Department, School of Dentistry, SBMU, Tehran, Iran. Director, WHO Collaborating Center for
Training and Research in Dental Public Health, School of Dentistry, SBMU, Tehran, Iran
The history of mankind starts with fight for life when he was at the mercy of nature with no effective means
of protection. It took ages for ancient people to come up with traditional remedies. Efforts on preventive care
dates back to Hippocrates time (480 BC). Although, many writings dealt with tooth and gum diseases, it was
not until 9th century that “Siwak” or “Miswak” the ecological toothbrush was introduced and highly
recommended by scientific and religious sources for oral hygiene and better dental care. By enhancing the
process of learning and improvement of research; gradually, the health knowledge was greatly intensified.
Yet, conventional dentistry has traditionally been curative rather than being preventive oriented with no
attention to general public.
Dental Public Health as a recognized dental specialty is mainly focused on prevention and control of dental
diseases, promotion of oral as well as overall health and quality of life for entire communities on a group by
group basis. Currently, oral diseases are highly prevalent and dental care expenditure is escalating despite the
fact that they are preventable. Population-based improvements in oral health outcomes are possible through
multiple costs-saving interventions. To achieve this, Dental Public Health leadership and infrastructure is
absolutely needed to improve and protect the public’s oral health. Nevertheless, this discipline with high
impact on the health of entire population is still under-supported and facing numerous challenges.
Governments and academia play central role in improving the current situation and planning for the brightest
future oral health. In part of the governments, strong policy development is expected in order to guarantee
the effective continuation of the population-based preventive programs. In part of academia, serious
consideration is needed on the quality and quantity of the future dental workforce which should be extended
beyond professional and national boundaries.

Application of Microfluidic Approach in VEGF Delivery for Treatment of Critically-Sized Craniofacial Defects
Lobat Tayebi1
1. Marquette University School of Dentistry, Wisconsin, USA
Objectives: Using growth factors in treatment of critically-sized oral and carniomaxillofacial defects has
generated great enthusiasm and an intensive research effort leading to recent clinical trials, many of which
have yielded unsatisfactory outcomes. Interestingly, the trials with the most satisfactory results have shared
a common denominator: the presence of a vehicle for controlled growth factor delivery.
Methods: VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is a vital angiogenic agent that can be used in
combination with other growth factors, such as BMP-2, to enhance bone regeneration. VEGF, when injected
into the body, has a short half-life of 90 minutes. Bolus injection of VEGF can induce inappropriate
neovascularization in avascular areas and excess exposure to VEGF may promote vascularization in unwanted
sites and enhance the risk of tumor growth. Moreover, due to the short half-life, the vasculature formed is
usually transient and disappears over time. Thus, localized and sustained delivery of VEGF is extremely
important for bone regeneration.
Results: Currently, delivery systems are imperfect and limited technologies exist for precise encapsulation of
VEGF and its sustained and controlled release. Although a variety of vehicles have been investigated for VEGF
delivery, a robust predictive method has yet to be achieved. Current methods for fabrication of particle
vehicles such as conventional bulk mixing methods result in extremely polydisperse particles that exhibit
various physicochemical properties that are difficult to control. Moreover, these methods require further,
and often complicated, post-processing steps.
Conclusions: This presentation reviews the applications of microfluidic approach and its innovations in
biomanufacturing and discusses the potential this approach may offer to develop a method that creates
precise customized encapsulated VEGF particles with well-regulated release rates. There are specific
challenges in using microfluidic platform for this purpose due to the large size of VEGF and other limitations,
which will be elaborated in this presentation. Such precise VEGF-loaded particles can be embedded in
scaffolds and implants designed for critically sized defects and used along with other growth factors to
promote tissue regeneration and repair in oral and craniomaxillofacial injuries.

Safety and complications in pediatric dental sedation
Ghassem Ansari DDS, MSc, PhD (Glasgow), FHD (UCLA)1
1. Professor, Head of Sedation & Hospital Dentistry Unit, Dept of Pediatric Dentistry, Dental School, Shahid Beheshti Medical University, Tehran, Iran
Objectives: Various levels of sedation have been employed by clinicians to help treating uncooperative individuals. The aim of this article is to discuss safe guard and complications when sedating children for dental procedures.
Methods: Data were collected from 20 studies carried out at the Fellowship Unit, Department of Pediatric Dentistry at SBMU, Tehran, between 2008 to 2016. International guidelines which are implemented in US hospital, and in particular the state of California, were used. Appropriate, efficient and reliable monitoring procedures were adopted in order to evaluate the potential closer evaluation reducing the risks involved.
Results: Clearly, a fully equipped clinic along with well-trained operators will dramatically reduce the risks of complications following the induction of various levels of sedation. Management of such complications is considered as another important task which requires appropriate training and preparedness. Confidence in the management of complications like laringospasm or bronchospasm is a must for anyone who is licensed to treat patients under sedation. The use of a pretracheal stethoscope and its proper clinical application has substantially increased the safety of this procedure.
Conclusions: The safety of any procedure is the priority with sedation being at the forefront of the dental procedures for safety of the patients treated.

Endo-LASER
Incidence of Dentinal Crack Formation
PRESENTER: Nahid Mohammadzadeh Akhlaghi
AUTHORS: N. S. Mohammadzadeh Akhlaghi2, 1, A. Delvarani2, V. Noroozi2, Mohebbi2
1. Endodontics,Islamic Azad University,Dental Branch,Tehran, Iran
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the frequency of dentinal micro-cracks following root canal preparation using ProTaper Universal and WaveOne rotary systems in straight and curved root canals.
Methods: One hundred mesiobuccal straight and curved canals of mandibular molars with including criteria were divided into two control (n=10) and four experimental groups (n=20). All the canals were coronally flared using Gates- Glidden drills # 3 and 2 respectively. All the groups were instrumented in the full working length using ProTaper files (Sx, S1, S2, F1, F2), and Primary WaveOne (#25.08)(Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). All the roots were horizontally sectioned at 2, 4, and 6 mm from the apices, and then evaluated under a microscope at × 25 magnification to determine the presence of cracks. The number and types of cracks in straight and curved root canals were analyzed with Chi Square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.
Results: The control groups showed no cracks. However, both rotary systems produced significantly less cracks compared to the specimens without any cracks. There was no significant difference between the two systems in the straight root canals (p>0.05). But in the curved root canals, ProTaper produced significantly more cracks (p

The effect of low level laser irradiation on speed of dentinal bridge formation in
dental pulp exposure
PRESENTER: Maziar Mir
AUTHORS: M. Mir1, 2, M. Mazandarani1, M. Shabani1
1. RWTH Aachen Conservative Dentistry
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low level laser on dentinal bridge construction in hamsters after the creation of bur-induced pulp exposure.
Methods: After administering inhalation anesthesia in hamsters, a pulp exposure (~0.5mm diameter) was made using a rotary machine with water spray in the lower anterior teeth. MTA dressing was used in the control teeth and MTA dressing combined with low level laser (1365 nm, 150 mw, 30 s) were applied in the experimental teeth. Dentinal bridge formation in both groups were imaged and the diameter of the dentinal bridges were measured using LSI(laser speckle imaging) with the aid of AMIRA software.
Results: The application of MTA combined with low level laser showed faster dentinal bridge formation during the 72 hours after intervention than MTA alone.
Conclusions: The Low-level laser irradiation accelerates dentinal bridge formation. However, further studies are recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of using low power laser for the rapid formation of dentinal bridges.

Triple Antibiotic Paste & Radicular Dentin; Pros and Cons
PRESENTER: Ardavan Parhizkar
AUTHORS: A. Parhizkar1, S. Asgary2, H. Nojeh - Dehyian1
1. Dept. of Dental Bio-Materials, School of Dentistry - Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
Objectives: To investigate the advantages and problems in the application of the recently focused Endodontic "Triple Antibiotic Paste", its possible effects on the radicular dentin, and the consequences when used as an intracanal medication in open - apex necrotic teeth with short roots and thin dentinal walls.
Methods: After managing a proper tooth preparation in order to have complete access to the coronal pulp and radicular area, cleaning and shaping of the pulp chamber and root canal system were performed. To provide intracanal bleeding, an over-instrumentation was deemed necessary. For better disinfection of the canal and removal of the bacteria, "Triple Antibiotic Paste (TAP) was used. To use the antibiotic combination, Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Minocycline were mixed (1:1:1) to a final concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml and the tooth was followed periodically.
Results: Nearly, all the open - apex necrotic teeth treated by TAP showed thickening of radicular walls, increased root length and closure of apical foramen. However, higher surface loss and roughness in the radicular dentin - in comparison with the untreated dentin with the medicament - were observed. The higher the concentration of TAP, the greater the extent of loss and roughness seen in the hard tissue. Also, significant reductions in the microhardness of the dentin following the use of TAP as the intracanal medication was noted.
Conclusions: Recent studies and investigations regarding “Endodontic Regenerative Protocol (ERP)” and the diverse applications of TAP in the radicular space have revealed that, in a number of cases, ERP will end not only in the lengthening of the root canal but in the thickening of the dentinal walls; a phenomenon which can be deemed as a crucial advancement and unprecedented improvement in dealing with open – apex necrotic teeth, especially when TAP is compared with other medications. Nevertheless, next to these promising outcomes, there seems to be consequences for using TAP in the root canal area, some of which can turn out to affect the chemo - mechanical properties of the remaining dentin in the canal.

Desensitizing Efficacy of Diode Laser, Nd:YAG Laser and Dentin Bonding
PRESENTER: Pegah Khazaei
AUTHORS: P. Khazaei1, L. Ranjbar Omrani2, M. Hasani Tabatabaei2
1. Tehran University of Medical Sciences
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of the Diode laser, Nd:YAG laser and dentin bonding agent in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 135 teeth of 22 patients diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity. Teeth were divided into three groups. In group 1, 45 teeth were irradiated for 1 minute with Diode laser (1W/cm2; λem =810nm). In group 2, 53 teeth were irradiated for 40 seconds with Nd:YAG laser (1W/cm2; λem =1064 nm). In group 3, 37 teeth were treated with CLEARFIL SE BOND. Laser Treatment was carried out in 3 sessions, at 7 days intervals during a 3 week period. Sensitivity was assessed by cold tests, measured using the criteria proposed by Uchida at baseline and at 1, 3 and at 6 months after treatment. Data analysis was performed using One Way Anova and T-Test.
Results: The reduction of dentin hypersensitivity was observed in immediately post- treatment in each group. Statistically significant differences in the level of dentin hypersensitivity between groups were found only at 3 and 6 months after treatment (P

Root Taper Effect on Fracture Resistance
PRESENTER: Amirreza Beglou
AUTHORS: O. Dianat2, A. Beglou1, M. Sabeti4, M. Kazem3
1. Dental School, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
Objectives: Endodontically treated teeth are susceptible to increased risk of fracture, mainly associated with loss of tooth structure, due to different steps of endodontic therapy including access cavity and root canal preparation. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of root tapering on the fracture resistance of root.
Methods: In this in vitro study, 30 extracted single rooted premolars were decoronated using a diamond-coated bur, leaving the root 13 mm in length. The roots were assigned to 4%, 6% and 8% tapering groups (n = 10). Canals were prepared with rotary Twisted Files (SybronEndo, Orange, CA, USA) using 1.25% sodium hypochlorite. For root embedment, the roots were covered with additive silicone, for simulation of the periodontal ligament around the tooth, and placed in tubes filled with self-curing acryl. Roots were loaded to fracture in the Instron Universal Testing machine (Instron, Canton, MA) (1 mm/min), and the data was analyzed with One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests.
Results: In assessing the effect of root canal preparation taper on fracture resistance of teeth, 4% taper showed the highest (259.61 N) and 8% taper showed the lowest (168.43 N) fracture resistance values, and the value for the 6% taper was in between the two (251.82 N). No significant difference was observed between the 4% and 6% groups (P > 0.05); however, they both differed significantly from the 8% group (P = 0.001 and 0.003 respectively).
Conclusions: Despite leading to superior canal debridement and decreasing the concerns regarding microbial removal of root canal walls, the results of the present study did not support the notion of using 8% tapering in endodontically treated teeth, as it had an adverse effect on tooth resistance compared to 4% and 6% tapering.

Comparative effect of "Light-Emitting-Diode" and "Low-level laser therapy" on root
resorption
PRESENTER: Samira Hosseini
AUTHORS: S. hosseini1
, M. Kamani1
1. Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the preventive and/or reparative effects of light emitting
diode (LED) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption
(OIIRR) in animals. Methods: An electronic search was performed using Google Scholar, PubMed and
ScienceDirect based on PRISMA statement for systematic review and Meta-Analysis. Studies in animal in
which LLLT or LED were applied to increase the dental movement were reviewed. The reviewed studies were
subjected to meta-analysis for quantifying the differences. Two reviewers selected the articles. The resulting
studies were analyzed according to the parameters used in the application of laser, LED and existing changes
clinically and histopathologically.
Results: The researches retrieved 26 unique citations from which 5 remained after considering the abstracts.
Evidence suggests that the comprehensive orthodontic treatment causes increased root resorption (RR).
According to researched data LED therapy improved periodontal tissue repair and decreased inflammation
and RR after the application of orthodontic force .Also, LED-mediated photobiomodulation method has the
potential of accelerating tooth movement and inhibitory effects on OIIRR. The reparative and resorptive
processes were increased by LLLT applied during orthodontic force load. LLLT has significant reparative
effects on OIIRR while it is not possible to say that it definitely has a preventive effect. Moreover, LLLT can
accelerate induced tooth movement by increasing the activity of osteoclastic cells and reduction in RR
lacunaes. The laser beam irradiation in combination with alloplastic materials used for socket preservation
could reduce the degree of RR. LED therapy has certain advantages over LLLT, such as the low cost, large
application areas, and no generated heat.
Conclusions: All data suggested that LED decreases the OIIRR while there is conflict about the effect of LLLT
on OIIRR and more researches particularly clinical attachments are needed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the oral health status and associated factors in pregnant
women.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst pregnant women in the second and third of
pregnant women in Varamin, Iran. The participants compromised 313pregnant women whose oral health
was examined in the study. Demographic, socioeconomic status, and health behavior data were determined
by using a standard questionnaire. Oral health examination included studying pocket depth, bleeding on
probing (BOP) and dental caries. Data analysis was done using SPSS (version 21) and STATA (SE 11).
Regression analysis was used to study the association between demographic, oral health behaviors indicators
and BOP, DMFT, D, M, F indices.
Results: The mean age of the 313 pregnant women was 27.7(sd=5.7, range=15-44 years). More than half of
the participants (61.7%) brush their teeth daily, but only 38.3% of mothers had daily flossing habit. Mean (sd)
of DMFT, D, M, F were 9.97(5.18), 6.54(4.37), 2.18(2.64), 1.25(2.34), respectively. Approximately 70% of

1. Preventive and Restorative Dentistry, University of California San Francisco, USA
Objectives: Analyse the root causes of the "nutrition transition" and the role of globalization and increased marketing of nonnutrotious foods and beverages and its impact on the health of the populations in developing countries. Describe the strategies and messages used to promote consumption of highly processed, commercialized products. Methods: Digital photographs of billboard and wall advertisements recorded a convenience sample of 100 advertisements, including 53 from rural areas and 47 from urban areas in El Salvador. Advertisements were coded for location, type of product, visual details, placement and context. Qualitative methods were used to identify common themes used to appeal to consumers. Results: Advertisements depicted "modern" fast foods, processed snacks and sugary beverages. Overall, the most prominent themes were: Cheap Price, Fast, Large Size, and Modern. Other themes used frequently in combination with these were Refreshment, Sports/Nationalism, Sex and Gender Roles, Fun/Happy Feelings, Family, Friendship and Community, and Health. In rural areas, beverage and snack food ads with the themes of cheap price, fast, and large size tended to predominate; in urban areas, ads for fast food restaurants and the theme of modernity tended to be more prominent. Conclusions: Global food and beverage industries must be held accountable for the adverse public health effects of their products, especially in low-middle income countries where there are fewer resources to prevent and treat the health consequences. In addition, public health and governmental authorities should learn from the advertising strategies to promote social marketing of public health messages, and enact and enforce regulations to limit the advertisement and sale of unhealthy products, particularly for children in and around schools. This will create healthier social norms and environments for the entire population. Even though this study has been done in El Salvador, but the results and conclusion can be used to undrestand the similarities in other developing countries and to inform effective policies and practices.

high school students
PRESENTER: Maryam Sadeghipour
AUTHORS: M. Sadeghipour1
1. Community Oral Health Department, School of Dentistry, SBMU
Objectives: Given the state of oral diseases epidemics, there is a great need for innovative and more cost-
effective interventions. Developing a model for dynamics of dental health behavior through student
friendship networks in a high school setting was the main objective of this investigation.
Methods: By using a standard questionnaire, the level of dental brushing frequency was assessed twice with
5 months interval, among 201 adolescent girls in a high school setting. Logistic Regression analysis was used
to evaluate the correlation among individuals’ dental health behavior in their social network. Agent Based
Modeling was used to model the dynamics of dental brushing frequency level within the student friendship
network. Three different educational scenarios were compared using simulation results to identify some
aspects of policy implication of the model
Results: A significant correlation on dental brushing habits was detected among groups of friends. This correlation defuses through the network in 5 months period. Furthermore, it was identified that, the level of brushing was improved among the target student population within the study period. It was identified that, there was a significant correlation between nodes’ with more popularity, within the social network as well as brushing level. It was therefore suggested that, the improvement is partially due to the more popularity of individuals with better tooth brushing.
Conclusions: The Agent Based Modeling proved to be a useful means of choosing the most cost- effective oral health promotion programs by policy makers after testing different potential oral health promotion scenarios

Objectives: To compare the impact of two educational interventions about dental trauma on knowledge of
primary school teachers in Arak.
Methods: We conducted an interventional study among primary school teachers in Arak in 2015. An
anonymous questionnaire including demographic characteristics and knowledge regarding emergency
management of TDIs was developed. At baseline, the data was collected by the questionnaire on voluntary
basis. Afterward the participants were randomly divided into two interventional groups including lecture and
pamphlet. In the lecture group, the teachers participated in a 45-minute meeting that was conducted by one
of the researchers. In the pamphlet group, the pamphlets, having the same content of the lecture, were
distributed among the participants. One month and six months after the intervention, the same
questionnaires were filled out by the respondents. The score of knowledge with range of 0 to 10 and its
changes were calculated and were evaluated using statistical analyses in order to examine the impact of the
interventions.
Results: In all, 154 individuals participated in the pamphlet group and 138 individuals responded in the
lecture group. Among demographic variables, the baseline knowledge was significantly associated with the

Objectives: The aim of this study was study the non-clinical satisfaction with dental care among adults in
Tehran, Iran.
Methods: Self-report data were obtained from the 2010 dental telephone interview survey. A stratified
random sample of 1,100 adults aged 18–84 years living in Tehran was studied (response rate=73%). The
patients who had visited a dentist in the previous year determined the degree of their satisfaction, ranging
between 0-10, regarding the reception's and dentists respectful behavior, the dental clinic facilities and
cleanness, the waiting time, and the oral hygiene instructions received in their last dental visit.
Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by both education and asset index. Satisfaction scores were highly
skewed with approximately 50% of participants ranking 10 (fully satisfied). Unadjusted and adjusted tobit
models were used to study the association between SES and patients' satisfaction. The Iran Centre for Dental
Research granted ethical approval for the original study.
Results: From the 1,100 participants, 597 (53.8%) had visited a dentist in the previous 12 months. Higher
satisfaction in all aspects was reported among those in the wealthiest quintile and those seeking care from
private dental clinics. Satisfaction scores were not different among age, gender and education groups.
Conclusions: Non-clinical satisfaction with dental care was associated with wealth but not with education.
Private dental clinics provided patients with more satisfaction of non-clinical aspects of dental care.

Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been utilized as an aid in regeneration of bone defects
however due to the poor homing ability via systemic injection, local administration and genetic manipulation
have been used more widely. The present study aimed to compare local and systemic application of MSCs in
regeneration of bone defects.
Methods: Sixty Wistar male rats were used in this study. Circular 5×5 mm bone defects were created in the
angle of the mandibles. Autogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were obtained and
culture expanded. The cells were labeled by red fluorescent for detection of the cells in the healed bone. The
rats were randomly treated in four groups; 1. β-TCP scaffold seeded with MSC (β-TCP+MSC), 2. Intravenous
MSC injection with β-TCP scaffold in the defect (MSC), 3. β-TCP without cell therapy (β-TCP) and 4. Control
defects which were left empty. The rats were euthanized after 8 weeks. New bone formation (BF) were
investigated by hematoxylin and eosin staining on decalcified 5 micrometer sections.
Results: Localized cell therapy (β-TCP+MSC group) showed the highest healing rate (BF=%54.05±2.39)
followed by MSC systemic injection (BF=%22.69±3.87). Immunofluourescent analysis demonstrated presence
of MSCs at the defects in MSC and β-TCP+MSC groups.
Conclusions: It is demonstrated that local application of the MSCs with synthetic scaffold had better results
than intravenous administration of MSCs in treatment of rat mandibular bone defects.

Objectives: Presence of stem cells within the pulp tissue has been indicated in both temporary and
permanent human teeth so far. In the present study, these stem cells were compared in terms of their
growth kinetics and culture requirements.
Methods: Stem cells within the pulp of the deciduous incisor (temporary tooth) and Adult third molar
(wisdom tooth) were isolated, culture-expanded and characterized according to the standard protocol. Then
the potentials of the proliferation of the cells were compared using multiple cell growth indices as Population
doubling time (PDT), colonogenic activity and growth curve. Furthermore, the cultures of both cells were
optimized for maximal proliferation. The alpha error was set at 0.05 for all tests.
Results: Stem cells of either pulp tissue appeared as fibroblastic cells capable of differentiating into
osteoblastic, chondrocytic, odontoblastic and adipocytic cell lineages. Stem cells from incisor tooth expressed
neurogenic markers of ßIII Tubulin and Tau just in contrast of molar stem cells. Based on in vitro growth data,
the cells from third molar tended to have a lower PDT value (20.79, sd=2.8 vs. 25.55, sd=2.9 hours), higher
colonogenic activity and better growth curve than those from the deciduous incisor (P

Objectives: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are a unique population of mesenchymal stem
cells (MSCs) which possess an immense capacity to generate cementum- and periodontal ligament-like
structures. Herein we summarize the latest findings regarding the methods of isolation and CD markers of
PDLSCs.
Methods: A review of the literature was performed using PubMed, using keywords like “PDL stem cells”,
“isolation”, “CD markers”. The search was limited to articles published over the last 10 years in English.
Results: In 2004 the first report on isolation and identification of stem cells in PDL was published. Since then,
Improvements have been made in isolation and culture of PDLSCs, however tooth extraction for PDLSC
isolation is an obstacle for using these cells in patients who do not need tooth extraction. In vitro, PDLSCs
may be isolated using CD markers. PDLSCs express CD146, STRO-1, CD105, CD29, CD44, CD133, CD106,
CD166, CD90, CD73, SCX (Scleraxis/tendon-specific marker), but lack the expression of CD45, CD34, CD14,
CD11b, CD79a, or CD19 and HLA class II.
Conclusions: PDLSCs may hold a promise as the very basis for practical cellular-based treatment in
periodontal regeneration.

Objectives: Nowadays, cell culture and cell line establishment is one of the main parts of laboratory research
in cancer centers. Human oral squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer in head
and neck area and unfortunately there is no improvement in survival rate of patients in the past four
decades. We must use cancer cell line to study tumor behavior in laboratory condition to directly link it to
clinical manifestation of cancer.
Methods: In this research, three fresh tissue of human oral squamous cell carcinoma were obtained with
excisional biopsy and then were delivered and cultured in Shahid Beheshti dental research center. We used
flow cytometry analysis for CD34 and E-cadherin for evaluating cells and extracted the flow cytometry data's
with Flowjow software which then analyzed by T-test.
Results: Flow cytometry analysis showed significant positivity for epithelial marker for each specimen. In
comparison with IgG1 isotype, p-value for CD34 specimen is 0.05 while for E-cadherin specimen the p-value is
0.0005. All of three cultured cell lines demonstrated significant positivity for epithelial marker.
Conclusions: This study is the baseline for other cancer research like detecting other markers and methods
for cell line establishment, animal's cell line studying, and designing new clinical surgical procedures.

Objectives: Regeneration of periodontium is one of the main goals of periodontal treatment. This may be
achieved by differentiation of stem cells to periodontal tissue cells.This study sought to assess the
differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) cultured in osteogenic medium
supplemented with Emdogain or Simvastatin.
Methods: After teeth extraction, the PDL attached to the middle third of the root surface was removed. Cells
were expanded in culture medium and used for osteogenic differentiation and added to the test materials
(different combinations of the basic medium, dexamethasone [DEX], Simvastatin and Emdogain). Osteogenic
differentiation was evaluated using Alizarin Red staining (ARS), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and
calcium content tests.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 17 software. Deliberation was
done with 6 × 3 factorial (six groups × three periods). Then, the data were submitted to ANOVA, and the
differences between the groups were compared using Tukey post-hoc test
Results: Quantitative analysis of ARS demonstrated that the frequency of mineralized nodule formation was
the highest in the enamel matrix protein derivatives (EMD) + DEX group. The highest ALP activity on day 7
was in DEX + Simvastatin group. Calcium content was the lowest in the control group and the highest in EMD
+ DEX group at all tested time points
Conclusions: This study showed that 100 μg/ml Emdogain had a significant effect on osteogenic
differentiation of human PDLSCs to osteoblasts and 10−8
M Simvastatin had an effect comparable to that of
DEX.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Anbarnesa solution on healing of
incisional wound in male rats.
Methods: In the main study, 16 rats weighing 180-250 g were selected and sacrificed at 14 and 21 days of
treatment with Anbarnesa (ANNAS1) or propylene glycol.Two full-thickness wounds 5mm in diameter were
created on the back of the neck one served as the case and the other as the control group. The rats were
divided into four groups of one. ANNAS1 was applied to the case and propylene glycol to the control wounds
daily. Specimens were taken and stained and the slides were histologically analyzed under a light microscope.
On each section, three areas were randomly chosen and number of myofibroblasts was counted at deep and
superficial areas of the wounds. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.
Results: Based on the results, both 14 and 21 days, number of myofibroblasts on the wound surface in
ANNAS1 group was significantly less than that in the control groups. No significant difference was noted in
terms of the number of myofibroblasts in the superficial compared to deep areas of wounds treated with
ANNAS1. At 14 and 21 days, the mean number of myofibroblasts in both deep and superficial areas of
wounds in ANNAS1 group was significantly lower than that in the control/control wounds.
Conclusions: The Anbarnesa solution had positive effects on decreasing scar formation in the process of

Objectives: Silica based materials are widely used in medical fields. Silica aerogels are new biomaterials with
special properties for applying in tissue engineering as drug carriers. Recent studies have shown that the
silica aerogels are appropriate biomaterials to be used in drug delivery systems due to their excellent
characteristics including low density, high porosity and surface area and special nanostructure. In this work,
the adsorption of ketoprofen on the synthesized silica aerogel was evaluated.
Methods: In this study, silica gel was prepared by sol-gel method using tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) as a
precursor. Supercritical carbon dioxide was used for drying process and drug (Ketoprofen) loading in
synthesized aerogel through the adsorption from liquid phase. The characterization of the silica aerogel was
performed by XRD (X- ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscope) and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–
Teller) analysis. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Drug loading was investigated by UV–visible
absorbance spectroscopy and FTIR (fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy.
Results: The silica aerogel had a specific surface area of 500 m2/g. XRD showed amorphous and crystalline
structures for silica aerogel and Ketoprofen, respectively. The nano-sized particles of silica and “string of
pearls” morphology were observed by SEM. Drug loading was confirmed by UV- visible and FTIR
spectroscopy. MTT assay proved high biocompatibility for silica aerogel.
Conclusions: The porous structure, large surface area and high affinity of an anti-inflammatory drug such as
Ketoprofen to silica aerogel, makes this material a good candidate for drug delivery systems.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different surface pretreatments on the interfacial fracture toughness of
a self adhesive flowable composite to dentin.
Methods: Fifty-three human molars were embebded in acrylic resins and sectioned to expose the underlying
dentin. Bonding area of 4 mm in diameter with a 90 degree chevron shape was produced on a PTFE tape
using a custom- made punch and then the specimens were divided into 4 subgroups based on their surface
treatments: Group 1: control (no surface pretreatment), Group 2: self-etching adhesive, Group 3:
chlorohexidine gluconate 2%, Group 4: oxalate dentin desensitizer. After surface treatments, the self-
adhesive flowable composite was built up with the height of 10 mm by a cylindrical transparent tube.
Specimens were incubated in distilled water and then thermocycled for 3500 cycles. Specimens were then
submitted to the force at cross-head speed of 1 mm\min using universal testing machine. The modes of
failure were evaluated by a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using Chi-square followed by Kruskal–
Wallis test.
Results: Statstical analysis revealed that the interfacial fracture toughness for the self etching adhesive was
siginficantly higher than that of other groups (p0.05). Adhesive fracture was the most prevelant mode of failure for
all groups.
Conclusions: The self-adhesive flowable composite with no bonding system had lower bonding efficacy when
compared with the combination use of a self-etching adhesive.

existing in healthcare centers of Varamin, Iran. Two hundred and three mothers were also examined to study
the relationship between mothers’ and children oral health. Dental examinations were performed by
calibrated senior dental students using decayed missed filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) indices. Demographic and
oral-healthcare behavior data were gathered using a standard questionnaire.
Results: The mean dmft was 2.69 (sd=3.492, range 0-19). The mean dmft in girls was 2.54
(Std.Deviation=3.39), and the mean dmft in boys was 2.86 (Std. Deviation=3.59[zg1] ). No significant
difference was seen between the dmft of two genders. No significant difference was seen in dental care
behavior such as frequency of eating sweets, brushing, flossing and dental visit between the two gender
(p>0.05). A positive correlation was detected between mother’s DMFT and child’s dmft ( r = 0.27, p

Objectives: Time constraints and crowded family sometimes prevent women from attending dental clinics.
Social capital may improve pregnant women oral health by a positive impact on pattern of their attending
dental services. This study aimed to explore pregnant women’ perspectives on dental attendance during
pregnancy and role of social capital to facilitate it.
Methods: In this qualitative study, ten in-depth individual semi-structured interviews and two organized
focus group discussions were conducted by a dentist as moderator and a midwife as facilitator. Participants
(n=22) were selected purposefully from those attending public health centers, in two socioeconomically
different districts of Tehran, Iran, for their routine prenatal checkups, in February 2015. A topic guide was
used on demographic and pregnancy related questions, their history of attending dental clinics and its social
capital barriers. By saturation of data, the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed with the permission of
the participants and then coded for content analysis using MAXQDA10 software.
Results: The mean age of the pregnant women were 30.4 ± 7.5 years with a mean gestational stage of 25.3 ±
6.4 weeks. Thirty-two percent of pregnant women had academic education and half of them were employed.
Of 350 extracted codes, the major findings as reasons of low dental attendance among those pregnant
women who were aware about importance of dental visit during pregnancy and could afford dental expenses
were categorized within three main themes of difficulty to arrange time off from work, having large family
size and household responsibilities, and problem of finding care for elder children when seeking dental care.
Conclusions: This study emphasized the role of social and family support to manage time and family
conditions of pregnant women for making regular dental visits possible during pregnancy.

Objectives: Halitosis, an unpleasant breath/ mouth odor, is a very common condition in general population
and described as a serious social handicap. The aim of the present study was to explore Iranian mothers’
perceptions about the causes of halitosis.
Methods: In the present qualitative study, participants were mothers (n = 58) who had a primary school child
in Tehran, 2015. They were selected purposively from eight primary schools in different districts of Tehran,
the capital of Iran. Ten focus groups and semi-structured interviews were used to explore their views on
halitosis and its causes. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a
conventional content analysis method.
Results: The majority of the participants mentioned role of poor oral hygiene, malnutrition and poor
digestion as well as intra-oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases, as etiologic factors of
halitosis. Also, they recommended oral hygiene instructions such as toothbrushing, flossing, cleaning the
tongue and using mouth rinse for malodor control. Mothers highlighted negative effects of oral malodor on
children’s social interactions.
Conclusions: The present findings affirm acceptable knowledge of Iranian mothers regarding halitosis.
Malodor influences social interactions and consequently, creates detachments among people. Management
of halitosis has the potential to improve social interactions.

Assessing the questionnaires on perceived oral health care need, a systematic
review
PRESENTER: Zahra Yaghoubi
AUTHOR: Zahra Yaghoubi1
1. Dental public health, Dental school of Kerman university of medical sciences
Objectives: Perception of need for oral health care plays a key role in creating motivation and demand for
utilization of oral health care services. Also, while the lack of resources, people with perceived needs to oral
health care, due to higher profit potential of services, will be on higher priority for services. The aim of this
study was to undertake a systematic review of the existing literature about questionnaires used for analyzing
the perceived oral health care needs.
Methods: The search was conducted in PubMed, ISI and Scopus databases on March 2016. Papers were
potentially suitable for inclusion which were questionnaire-base and aimed to determine perceived need for
any types of oral health care and dental treatment. After determining related papers, each paper data was
extracted and all the questions and responses were reviewed.
Results: Of 7069 records found, 192 questionnaire-base papers were included in the review. 94 papers were
related to overall evaluation of oral health care need, which did not ask the need for types of oral health care
service. 66 papers studied need for a specified dental service, and 32 records the types of oral health care
service were asked in open or multiple choices question. There was not comprehensive and standard
questionnaires which covers all the common types of oral health care services.
Conclusions: Differences in the available questionnaires showed despite the importance and necessity of
considering perception of needs for oral health care, there is a lack of the comprehensive and standard
questionnaires. Studies that aimed to assess perceived oral health care needs should use standard and
comprehensive questionnaires which included appropriate items on common types of oral health care
services based on the characteristics of the target group. Accordance with perceived and normative need is
matters that should be addressed in future research.

Beheshti's school of dentistry regarding dental trauma and to evaluate a simple leaflet as an measuring tool
to enhance this knowledge.
Methods: One hundred and fifty mothers of children receiving dental care at Shahid Beheshti Dental School,
took part in this study. Before any intervention, questionnaires were distributed among all mothers(time 0).
The level of knowledge of parents was measured in the three main categories: crown fracture, luxation and
avulsion. After receiving the completed questionnaires, leaflets were distributed among case group(n=75)
and immediately after reading the leaflet, the knowledge level of mothers in case group was examined with
the same questionnaire(time 1). Finally, the Knowledge of mothers in both groups was evaluated three
months later(time 2).
Results: By scoring the questions, the level of knowledge was calculated. The mean of mothers' overall
knowledge was 6.5(sd=1.9)at the time0. The mean of knowledge in the case group was 6.2 at the time 0 , 9.2
at the time 1 and 8.5 at the time 2. The mean knowledge in control group was 6.8 at the time 0 and 7.6 at the
time2. Increase in the knowledge score was seen in both groups, but the difference in knowledge score
between two groups was significant. Improvements were seen in all the categories of knowledge as a result
of reading the informative leaflet.
Conclusions: Use of an informative leaflet enhanced the knowledge of mothers. Use of leaflets is an effective
way to inform mothers about the management of traumatic dental injuries.

Objectives: To determine oral manifestations and salivary alterations in patients with ESRD.
Methods: This case control study was performed on 20 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis and 20
control subjects. Salivary concentrations of urea, calcium, and PH level measured for all subjects. Moreover,
paleness of the skin and oral mucosal, symptoms of xerostomia, halitosis, uremic stomatitis, taste sensitivity,
and radiographic changes were studied.
Results: There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the average value of salivary urea concentration
between two groups. Likewise, a meaningful statistical difference (p < 0.05) was noted while comparing the
level of salivary PH between two groups. Statistically, no significant difference for calcium concentration
between two groups was found. The majority of patients (95%) had signs of skin and mucosal paleness and
80% complained of xerostomia while there was no sign of such symptoms in control group. Furthermore,
there were meaningful differences in intensity of halitosis and uremic stomatitis between the two groups (p

Objectives: Oral cancer is considered as one of the few life-threatening oral diseases. The survival rate of this
malignancy is affected by different patient and tumor related factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the
5 and 10 year survival of patients with oral cancer registered in dental school of Isfahan university and seyed
al shohada hospital.
Methods: Patients (240) who attended these two centers during the period 2004-2009 were included.
Demographic data of patients and data about tumor characteristics including site, histologic type, staging and
treatment type were obtained. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan-Maier curves. Univariate and
multivariate analyses of the relations between survival and the mentioned factors were made using the log-
rank test and Cox’s regression analysis. The statistical significance of the coefficients in the statistical analyses
was tested at the 0.05 (α=0.05) level.
Results: The overall survival rate was 57.6% and 24.7% for 5 and 10 years survival, respectively. Sex and
staging of tumor were not in correlation to the survival. Age under 60 (OR= 0.089, P-value= 0.017),
involvement of sites rather than tongue (OR=0.24, P-value=0.03) and combined treatment versus surgery
(OR=0.073, P-value=0.004) were significantly in correlation to lower death rate.
Conclusions: Among the probable factors, both demographic (age) and tumor related factors and treatments
were effective in survival of patients. Therefore, survival of patients is a complicated factor and needs to be
considered by both the patients and the care providers for early detection and diagnosis.

Objectives: This research is proposed to discover the line of PH level in the mouth of fasting students.
Methods: The researchers used the experimental method which this involves manipulating conditions and
studying effects to determine the PH level change which is based on the outcome of the study.
Results: Based on the research conducted, the following findings have been noted: 1. 90% of the results were
with in normal range of salivary PH level (6.4 - 7) Which indicates the accuracy of the hypothesis. Less than
10% of the results were not with in normal PH level range There was an increase by 0.1 of the PH level every
4hours and total of 0.2 form the first interval to the end . 2. General change of PH level in intervals was
tendency to increase 0.2 in ph level with in normal range of 6,4 – 7 . PH level of the 83.33% of practitioners
showed slight increase in level toward alkalinity during the experiment which is considered to be healthy and
good and 15% showed decrease in the level of PH and 1.66% showed no change in the evel of the ph. The
diversed results were in close approximity with normal range and were not very distinct to be worried about.
Conclusions: Based on the above findings, following have been concluded: 1. The incidence of threatening
issue concerning oral environment upon fasting for 12 hours is very low (less than
10%). 2. Acceptable oral hygiene can be maintained through fasting easily. 3. Fasting can maintain alkaline
environment which is reducing the incidence of dental caries (more thn 90%).
