CaseCATs

1. CaseCATs (Critically Appraised Topics) An approach to pre-doctoral research opportunities

2. Lunch and Learn Agenda • Objectives • Parameters • How to find cases • CaseCAT Worksheet • CaseCAT Literature Worksheet • CaseCAT Poster Template • Judging Criteria

3. Objectives • To provide an opportunity for students to engage in a patient based study to the level of scientific inquiry • To facilitate the transformation of a patient based study to a case presentation that can be presented at Clinic and Research Day

4. Parameters How were treatment plans oroutcomes for your patient affected by: • Treatment procedure • Patient health concerns • Therapeutic problems concerning patient • Unusual medications • Treatment consideration for medically compromised or patients with disabilities • Example: Blood pressure medication that causes xerostomia • What are causes, how do you evaluate? how do you treat?

5. Where do I find cases? • Portfolio • On medically compromised patients i.e. diabetes, hypertension • Patients on 3 or more medically significant therapeutic medications • Screening Clinic/Urgent Care • Diagnosis of an interesting patient issue • Rotations with specialty clinics • Working with residents • Examples include: Ortho-craniofacial anomaly, Perio-diabetes, Endo-implants

6. Important Elements to Consider • Patient issueexemplifies problem • Thoughtful description of case • Adequate Documentation(must be de-identified) • Photos and radiographs • Axium page with charting • Patient medical, dental history, chief complaint • Differential Diagnosis • In many cases already preexisting diagnosis • Develop case to level of CAT • Faculty, journals and internet as resources • IRB Issues • Must be single case, case series not acceptable

P- Patients receiving root canal therapy I- Temporary restorative material (Cavit, IRM, or KetacFill [GI]) C- Definitive restoration O- Durability and resistance to coronal microleakage MESH Terms: Beach et al. “Clinical Evaluation of Bacterial Leakage of Endodontic Temporary Filling Materials.” Journal of Endodontics 22:9 pp459-462. 1996. Methods: 51 human teeth received RCT in vivo. After obturation a sterile paper disk was placed below a 4 mm filling of Cavit, IRM, or TERM. Three weeks later the patients were recalled, the fillings were removed, and the paper disks were analyzed for bacterial growth. Results/Conclusion: 1/18 IRM samples showed bacterial growth, whereas 0/19 Cavit samples showed growth. No significant difference was found between IRM and Cavit. Validity/Applicability: Restoration type was randomly assigned. Follow up was 100%. in vivo study. 3 week follow-up realistic at UIC COD. Level of Evidence: 2 (Randomized Controlled Trial) CASE SCENARIO Diagnosis: #4 and #5 Necrotic Pulp, Asymptomatic (Chronic) Apical Periodontitis Treatment Plan: Non-surgical RCT #4 and #5. Multiple visits will be required. For patients receiving root canal therapy, which temporary restorative material (Cavit, IRM, or KetacFill GI) compares most favorably to the properties of the definitive restoration as measured by durability and resistance to coronal microleakage? Root Canal Therapy; Dental Restoration, Temporary; Leakage Barthel et al. “Leakage in Roots Coronally Sealed with Different Temporary Fillings.” Journal of Endodontics 25:11 pp 731-734. 1999. Methods: 103 extracted single-rooted teeth received RCT and were then filled with either Cavit, IRM, GI, Cavit/GI, or IRM/GI. Teeth were then immersed into a two-chamber system which was inspected daily over a 30-day period for bacterial microleakage. Results/Conclusion: GI gave the best seal against bacteria (1/20 samples leaked), whereas Cavit gave the poorest seal (13/20 samples leaked). 11 out of 20 IRM samples leaked. Validity/Applicability: Results ofin vitro studies cannot directly be applied to clinical practice. However, all available filling materials to UIC COD students were tested. Level of Evidence: 6 (Preclinical study) . Naoum & Chandler. “Temporization for Endodontics.” International Endodontic Journal 35:pp 964-978. 2002. Methods: A literature review was performed using MEDLINE and contemporary textbooks to assess various endodontic temporary filling materials and to make clinical recommendations. Results/Conclusion: Cavit possesses favorable marginal seal but inferior mechanical properties compared to IRM. Studies have shown that IRM also provides a favorable marginal seal, especially when the powder: liquid ratio is decreased. GI is more costly, but has been found to be antibacterial and to have a superior seal; thus it may be used for cases of long-term temporization.

For patients receiving root canal therapy, which temporary restorative material (Cavit, IRM, or KetacFill GI) compares most favorably to the properties of the definitive restoration as measured by durability and resistance to coronal microleakage? Root Canal Therapy; Dental Restoration, Temporary; Leakage Few in vivo studies and no systematic reviews exist studying this topic. However, from the available evidence the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. Cavit provides an adequate seal over at least 3 weeks as revealed by an in vivo study (1). However, due to its poor mechanical properties, its use should be reserved only for conservative accesses where occlusal forces are minimal (3). 2. IRM provides an adequate seal over at least 3 weeks as revealed by an in vivo study (1). Its mechanical properties are superior to Cavit and it is therefore indicated for whenever the tooth will be regularly subjected to occlusal forces. As the powder: liquid ratio is decreased, the seal improves (at the expense of mechanical properties). (3) 3. GI has been found in an in vitro study to have a superior seal to Cavit and IRM (2). Because of this, GI has been recommended for longer term temporization (3). 4. Studies have recommended that a definitive restoration be placed as soon as possible following obturation (2, 3).
