Objective: evaluate the immediate dental and skeletal changes induced by the Herbst appliance on early treatment of Angle´s Class II malocclusion. Material and Method: several electronic databases such as Scopus, Pub Med, Medline, Cochrane Library, Lilacs and Scielo were searched. The abstracts that fullfilled the selection criteria were selected and those that did not provide enough information about these criteria were selected but the final decision of including them or not on the research, was taken after the complete reading of the article. The selection criteria were: clinical studies with Class II individuals, both male and female, with initial age of 7 to 10 years, treated with the Herbst appliance that analysed the dental and/or skeletal changes evaluated on lateral cephalometric radiographs; researches where the treatment performed did not involve extractions or surgical interventions; studies that included patients without syndromes or health concerns and articles published in English or Portuguese. Results and Conclusions: five articles were selected. The articles showed that significant changes happened in the mandibular sagittal lenght, on facial convexity angle, on maxillo-mandibular relationship, on retroclination of the upper incisors and on distal movement of the upper molars, on proclination of the lower incisors and on extrusion of the lower molars. The appliance exerted a limited effect on the anterior relocation of the maxillary complex and on facial heights. However, more studies about the performance of the Herbst appliance on early treatment of Class II are needed.

Currently it is clear that there are several factors that can act as modifiers of diseases, without causing them directly, but having the potential to make these conditions to progress faster and more severe. There is a growing number of studies investigating the relationship between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Periodontal Disease (PD), including some studies focusing on the influence of genetic factors in this process. The aim of this study was to verify through a literature review, the influence of genetic polymorphisms in the development of PD in patients with DM. PubMed and BIREME were used as databases and the terms Periodontitis or Periodontal Disease, Polymorphism, Diabetes Mellitus were searched. After a refinement in the literature, five studies were selected and they were related to chronic PD with DM and polymorphisms in cytokine genes, especially interleukin 1 (IL1) e IL6. Polymorphisms were associated with a higher concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid of diabetic patients when compared to non-diabetic. In conclusion, it is necessary to confirm this association with longitudinal studies that must investigate a larger number of cytokine genes in order to understand the cause-effect relationship between genetic polymorphisms, DM and PD.

Introduction: The configuration and dimensions of the upper airway are determined by anatomical structures such as soft tissues, muscles and craniofacial skeleton, composing or surrounding the pharynx. Anatomical abnormalities of the soft tissues and / or craniofacial skeleton may become more narrow upper airway. The orthognathic surgery, which is used in the correction of dentoskeletal deformities, also causes changes in the upper airway. Objective: In view of the facts presented, this article aims to review the literature on the changes of the upper airway in patients’ class III undergoing orthognathic surgery. Methodology: International Literature on Health Sciences (Pubmed ) and Port Journals CAPES original and review published between 1990 and 2010, in two bibliographic databases articles were selected. Results: thirty-nine (39) articles were selected for writing this review. Conclusion: The upper airway deformity and dental- skeletal class III should be carefully evaluated prior to orthognathic surgery and whenever surgical planning permit should prefer the maxillary advances to mandibular setbacks

The purpose of this literature review is to present the state-of-the-art on the application of tissue engineering techniques in sinus lifts procedures, reporting the influence of these techniques in increasing bone height and volume in the maxillary sinus, and the osseointegration of the implants installed in the grafted areas. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched using the keywords “scaffold” OR “engineered tissue” AND “sinus augmention” OR “sinus floor elevation”. In the initial search 463 articles were selected, of which 19 were selected abstracts reading, with nine papers selected by the end, for evaluation of the application of tissue engineering techniques in sinus lift procedures. Despite the positive results of tissue engineering procedures in sinus floor elevation reported in the selected articles, further studies are still needed, for a better standardization of experimental models and materials used, leading to definitive conclusions about the effects of the application of tissue engineering procedures on bone formation in maxillary sinus lifting procedures.

Introduction: Breast-feeding has stood out as health care measure and is part of the Government’s National Health Policy, involving dental professionals. However, it has been suggested that breast milk could be a risk factor for the development of early childhood caries. Objective: The purpose of this report was to search for scientific evidence that would support or refute the statement that breastfeeding is associated with the development of early childhood caries. Method: Medline and SciELO databases were consulted to retrieve studies, ranging from laboratory investigations to epidemiological surveys, which relate breastfeeding to dental caries. The key words ‘breast-feeding’ and ‘dental caries’ were used on the reference search. There was no scientific evidence that could demonstrate a clear relationship between breast milk and cariogenicity. This is attributed to fact that dental caries is a multifactorial disease that is susceptible to multiple confusing factors, among which the early introduction of sucrose to the infant’s diet and late introduction of oral hygiene habits. The dentist should encourage exclusive breast-feeding because, in addition to the undeniable benefits to the child’s physical and psychological health, it contributes to a harmonic facial growth and prevents the development of atypical deglutition and malocclusions, in combination with early introduction of oral hygiene habits and noncariogenic diet. Conclusion: There is no scientific evidence to demonstrate an association between breast-feeding and early childhood caries.

The aim of the present study was to point out the importance of the experience of undergraduate dental students in extra-curricular activities and volunteer work, as a means through which to gain essential knowledge and abilities for their professional lives. A literature review of the Medline, Scielo, and Lilacs databases was carried out in an attempt to select articles related to the university extension and volunteer work of undergraduate dental students. It is still extremely difficult to include university extension and volunteer work as an important activity in Dentistry courses. However, the presentday work market demands professionals who have expertise not only in dental techniques, but also in the socio-cultural characteristics of communities, considering that people need to be comprehensive in their psychosocial aspects in order to be treated as a complete professional. Therefore, university dentistry courses should give equal consideration to both oral rehabilitation skills and the promotion of general healthcare, acquired mainly through extracurricular activities, in an attempt to redeem the integral education of the healthcare professional. Moreover, students should pay closer attention to the opportunities offered during their undergraduate courses, as the work market for dentists is becoming more and more competitive. Moreover, the dentist whose professional life is limited to the dental office will most certainly forgo the opportunity to act in other social areas as well as the recognition that comes with such acts.

As desordens alimentares são um grupo de desordens psicopatológicas, nas quais o paciente relaciona os alimentos ingeridos com seu próprio corpo e, podem ameaçar a vida, como a anorexia e bulimia nervosa. Durante a progressão das desordens alimentares, pode ocorrer uma série de manifestações orais, as quais exercem um papel fundamental no diagnóstico, caracterização e prognóstico dessas desordens. O cirurgião dentista é, na maioria das vezes, o primeiro profissional da saúde a observar os sintomas clínicos de uma desordem alimentar. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a etiologia, características, manifestações orais, e tratamento das lesões orais decorrentes das desordens alimentares. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Bireme, durante o período de 1987 a 2013. Verifica-se assim que os primeiros sinais desenvolvidos em pacientes com desordens alimentares aparecem na cavidade oral, cabendo ao cirurgião dentista identificar esses sinais e relacioná-los às desordens.

A epilepsia é a doença neurológica maiscomum em seres humanos e cães, possui diversas etiologias e é classificada em epilepsia primária, idiopática ou hereditária e epilepsia secundária ou adquirida. A maioria dos cães epiléticos é tratada com fármacos antiepiléticos padrões, fenobarbital e/ou brometo de potássio, com os quais obtém-se sucesso; porém, cerca de 20-30% dos cães tratados necessitam de terapia adicional, pois não respondem a terapia padrão. Os medicamentos utilizados como anticonvulsivantes levam a efeitos de toxicidade e menos de 50% dos cães com epilepsia permanecem livres de convulsões sem efeitos secundários das medicações. Novas alternativas terapêuticas têm sido utilizadas. Dentre elas, a Gabapentina que é um medicamento análogo ao GABA e possui diferentes mecanismos de ação, tem efeito dose-dependente, absorção saturada, não tem ligação às proteínas plasmáticas e, ao contrário da maioria das medicações anticonvulsivas, possui eliminação renal. Quando sua eficácia é comprovada em associação às drogas anticonvulsivas padrões, é possível a redução da dose das mesmas evitando ou minimizando assim os desagradáveis efeitos secundários destas medicações. Por esses motivos, o objetivo desse trabalho é averiguar a eficácia da Gabapentina quando associada aos fármacos padrões utilizados na terapia antiepilética. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico em cinco bases de dados eletrônicos. Foram obtidos 13 artigos, os quais, após serem analisados, permitiram concluir que a Gabapentina apresenta resultados significativamente satisfatórios no tratamento da epilepsia idiopática em cães refratários ao tratamento padrão; porém, mais estudos em cães não devem ser descartados de modo a melhor elucidar esses efeitos

A utilização do sêmen resfriado na espécie equina é amplamente difundida, no entanto, quando se trata do sêmen congelado existem certos entraves, os quais tornam o emprego desta biotécnica limitado. Porém seu uso está crescendo e com isso pesquisas com meios diluidores e protocolos de congelação têm sido realizados, a fim de se estabelecer um protocolo que seja eficiente para a congelação do sêmen da maioria dos garanhões. Essa revisão sistemática tem como objetivo a análise de estudos que tratam da congelabilidade do sêmen equino, bem como os principais componentes de um meio diluidor, a fim de demonstrar suas funções e fornecer alternativas para a substituição ou associação, principalmente de crioprotetores. Para tanto, foram utilizadas bases de dados com a seguinte estratégia: criopreservação, congelamento, diluentes, crioprotetores, glicerol, leite, sêmen e equino, presentes no título ou resumo. Dentre os artigos encontrados foram selecionados 15 artigos nas línguas portuguesa, espanhola e inglesa, publicados em revistas científicas ou teses de mestrado, doutorado e trabalhos de conclusão de curso. Tais artigos permitiram concluir que não existem protocolos de congelamento definidos para grupos de animais, mas que deve ser observado cada indivíduo, ressaltando sua peculiaridade e estabelecendo o melhor diluente e protocolo

Aproximadamente 20 a 22 % das fraturas em felinos são pélvicas e quase metade destas são em ilío, que muitas vezes estão associadas a outras lesões pélvicas ósseas e a tecidos moles. A indicação cirúrgica para o tratamento destas lesões depende do grau de instabilidade, de perda da continuidade óssea, colapso do canal pélvico, fraturas acetabulares, envolvimento de estruturas do eixo de sustentação de peso do animal, lesão nervosa e dor intratável mesmo com uso de analgésicos. O objetivo desta revisão sistemática foi comparar o uso de quatro métodos diferentes para a osteossíntese de ílio em gatos, sendo estes: as placas laterais, placas dorsais, placas em T e, parafusos, fios de Kirschner, fios de aço e polimetilmetacrilato usados em conjunto, em relação às implicações e complicações do uso de cada uma das técnicas. Foram utilizados artigos científicos retrospectivos e prospectivos publicados nas bases de dados informatizados PUBMED, Scielo, Periódico Capes e Google Schoolar que abordassem diferentes técnicas para a osteossíntese de ílio em gatos e foi realizada a análise e comparação de seus dados. Quatro artigos foram selecionados por serem adequados para abordar o tema indicado, todos redigidos em língua inglesa, porém, um sendo de origem francesa e três de origem britânica, cada artigo relatando um tipo diferente de método utilizado. A discussão e a conclusão se deram com base nestes artigos. Nenhuma das técnicas pode ser considerada perfeitamente adequada para qualquer osteossíntese de ílio. Cada uma das quatro possui prós e contras e tem demonstrado melhor eficácia para um tipo específico de fratura ilíaca em gatos, cabendo ao cirurgião veterinário reconhecer e selecionar a melhor a ser utilizada em cada situação
