RSS 1.0Dental College of Georgia (DCG)
Since the graduation of its first class in 1973, the Dental College of Georgia - the State‘s sole dental school and one of only 56 in the United States - has demonstrated an exemplary record of protecting the oral health of our State’s residents. The Dental College of Georgia was formerly known as the School of Dentistry.

Alteration of the VDO of an existing RPD with Composite Resin1. Can composite resin be added to an RPD to test a new proposed VDO and it hold up over the course of treatment? 2. Can a flange and teeth be added chairside to an existing RPD? 3. Can a treatment plan that involves alteration of VDO, implant therapy, fixed prosthodontics, and removable prosthodontics be simplified by the use of a prototype?

Incidence of Emergence Delirium following administration of Midazolam in female patientsEmergence delirium is a disturbing complication in the female population after the administration of midazolam. This study is constructed to determine incidence of female patients undergoing the side effect of emergence delirium and to observe common variables that may make individuals more susceptible to the post-operative emergence phenomenon.

Is there a Correlation Between Weather and Head & Neck Fascial Space Infections?The purpose of this study was to compare the CBSE scores of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency candidates that matched to 4-year and 6-year tracts in the 2019-2020 application cycle.
-
Time to open repair of mandible fractures and associated complicationsThe aim of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between the time from injury to repair of mandible fractures and the development of post-operative complications. The authors also sought to assess if delay in treatment manifests in increased surgical time.
-
Post-Implant Placement Cervical BurnoutTo evaluate and compare post implant placement cervical bone loss within the Dental College of Georgia and among its dental specialties. This information will allow us to identify patient's at risk for bone loss therefore improving patient satisfaction and overall success of the implant.
-
Does Time to the Operating Room Affect Outcomes in Odontogenic Infection Patients?The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any correlation between delayed time to the operating room from patient entrance to the hospital and complications that may have occurred during that hospitalization. Complications during hospitalization are often expensive as they may require a prolonged hospital stay, more expensive medications and specialized care. Often times, complications lead to increased morbidity and mortality.

Novel Role of Homocysteine in Bone RemodelingHomocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing amino acid which is well-known as a risk factor for neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases and was suggested as a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures. The current study is aiming to investigate the role of Hcy in bone remodeling (metabolism).

Periodontal pathogens and vision loss?! Systematic ReviewOver the years, epidemiological studies have brought evidences that links oral diseases especially periodontal with many systemic diseases including cardiovascular disease, respiratory infection, diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes, neurodegenerative disease including cancers. Recent limited evidence indicates correlation between eye diseases and Periodontal diseases (PD). Our objective is to systematically review the association of Periodontitis and Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the prominent cause of vision loss in elderly.

The Crosstalk between Del-1 and IL-23 in periodontitis: A novel therapeutic modalityPeriodontitis is a prevalent disorder with impairment of immune and inflammatory responses contributing importantly to its pathogenesis. In fact it is it is the host response to the biofilm that destroys the periodontium in the pathogenesis of the disease. As our understanding of pathways of inflammation has matured, however, the precise molecular and cellular basis of resolution of inflammation remain uncleared. DEL-1 (developmental endothelial locus-1) is a secreted multidomain protein that inhibits leukocyte–endothelial adhesion, binding to the LFA-1 integrin resulted in suppression of inflammatory responses. The expression of Del-1 is shown to be inhibited by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17. One of the major cytokines which has been shown to be a key protein for expression and maintenance of IL-17 is IL-23. The relationship between Del-1 and IL-23 is remained unknown. Based on our preliminary data, we investigated the interaction between Del-1 and IL-23 in a murine model of periodontitis.
