Avaliação da perda óssea alveolar em pacientes encaminhados à especialista em periodontia: estudo radiográfico

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mean of alveolar bone loss (%) in radiographies of patients referred to specialist for periodontal treatment. Full mouth series of periapical radiographies (paralelism technique) were used. A total of 9808 proximal surfaces in 4804 teeth of 213 patients (90 males and 123 females), mean age, 44.3 years, were assessed. The alveolar bone loss was measured in relation to root lenght expressed as an average similar to Schei 's technique (1959) without the use of ruler. The references used were the distances cement-enamel juntion (CEJ) - alveolar crest (AC) and CEJ- dental apex taken with a digimatic caliper. The results showed that the mean values of alveolar bone loss (%ABL) was 22.39%. Men showed higher mean values of %ABL than women; the %ABL increased with the age, but the difference among age groups was no statistical significant (p>0.05); the mean values of %ABL of distal surfaces was higher than mesial surfaces (p<0.01), ríght quadrants exhibited higher %ABL values than left quadrants (p<0.01); maxillary sites showed mean values of %ABL higher than mandibular sites; the highest mean values of %ABL was found in molar group, followed by incisor groups, and premolar group; the canine group exhibited lower mean values of %ABL; the differences among the groups was considered statitistically significant (p<0.01). lt was suggested the usage of this technique in the dentistry offices and radiological services for the patient 's documentation and assortment and for later comparison about alveolar bone level

Aumento de gengiva queratinizada em mucosa peri-implantar

Introduction: Recent studies have evaluated the relationship between the width of keratinized mucosa and peri-implant tissue health. Insufficiently wide keratinized tissue can be increased surgically, for example by free gingival grafting. The presence or reconstruction of keratinized tissue around the implant can facilitate restorative procedures, promote aesthetics and allow the maintenance of an oral hygiene routine without irritation or discomfort to the patient. Objective: To describe a patient who underwent free gingival graft surgery to increase the width of keratinized tissue in the region of previously implants to support a type of prosthetic protocol. Case report: A patient who had received dental implants to support a type of prosthetic protocol presented with inflamed peri-implant mucosa, but with no keratinized tissue. Free gingival tissue was obtained from the palate and grafted into the anterior maxilla. Sixty days after muco-gingival surgery, we observed that the free gingival graft favored peri-implant health and prosthetic casting. Conclusion: The free gingival graft technique is both easy to perform and effective in increasing the width of keratinized mucosa following implantation.

Fatores biomecânicos relevantes na seleção dos grampos em próteses parciais removíveis com extremo livre: estudo clínico

The free-end removable partial dentures (RPD) shows a complicated and peculiar biomechanical behavior that impose high occlusion forces to the abutment teeth. By this way, the aim of this study was to evaluate the several factors that influence the clasps indication to free-end RPD. It was analysed 84 designed and planned study models of 71 patients, involving 130 clasps near-by a free-end; followed by clinical and radiographical informations. It was observed that bar clasps (“T”, “Tmod”, “i”) were used in 88.46% of abutment teeth. In the others (11.55%), it was used simple, combinated or ring circumferential clasps, and MDL. In abutment teeth with high equator line the “i” clasps were predominant (48.48%). The “Tmod” clasps were predominant in abutment teeth with low equator line (50%) or in middle third (51.35%) and “T” clasps were predominant in inclined equators with mesio-buccal (56.52%) or disto-buccal (66.66%) retention. In the posterior abutment teeth, it was prevalent the distal rest (63.52%) and embracing to the adjacent tooth. Some others factors like long clinical crown (5.38%), wrong position of abutment teeth (4.61%), aesthetics (3.07%), retention in alveolar ridge (2.3%), fragility of abutment teeth (1.53%), short clinical crown (0.76%) and short space to the clasp (0.76%) influenced directly during the clasps selection. Factors like mobility of abutment teeth, height of muscular insertions, depth of buccal fornix and antagonist arch acted like secondary factors. After the informations analysis it may be concluded that the bar clasps with distal rest and embracing to the adjacent tooth were the most indicated to free-end RPD

Técnicas de reembasamento para prótese total

Alveolar bone resorption is continuous throughout the life of edentulous patients, the prosthesis mismatch can generate during speech and chewing. An alternative to this would be to destabilize the denture reline, a maneuver which aims to readjust the denture base to the rim by the addition of a plastic film to the inner surface of the prosthesis material. This procedure may be direct, when performed in the clinic, or indirect when made in prosthetic laboratory. The aim this study is to demonstrate the technical of two reline for denture.

Influência do aumento do comprimento de implantes dentários

The use of implants of greater length may be more favorable for the predictability of dental implants. This statement is relevant, since the cause of failures in dental implants are more related to biomechanical complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of increase of the length around the entire body of the implant. Six models were created with the presence of only one hexagonal implant (Master Screw connection, Implant Systems, São Paulo, Brazil) of 3.75 mm x 7.0 mm (Model A), 3.75 mm x 8.5 mm (Model B ), 3.75 mm x 10.0 mm (Model C) 3.75 mm x 11.5 mm (Model D) 3.75 mm x 13.0 mm (Model E) 3.75 mm x 15.0 mm (Model F) using the method of photoelasticity. The results were visualized through a qualitative analysis of stresses (number and intensity photoelastic fringes). The model A showed a pattern of less favorable stress distribution, the oblique loading was the most detrimental to the related structures. Conclusion: The increased length allowed for a better distribution of stresses. The oblique loading was more detrimental when compared to axial loading.

Bone defect repair on the alveolar wall of the maxillary sinus using collagen membranes and temporal fascia: an experimental study in monkeys

Few studies has been done using guided bone regeneration in maxillary sinus defects. AIM: To assess the bone repair process in surgical defects on the alveolar wall of the monkey maxillary sinus, which communicates with the sinus cavity, by using collagen membranes: Gen-derm - Genius Baumer, Pro-tape - Proline and autologous temporal fascia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective and experimental study, orosinusal communications were performed in four tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) and histologic analysis was carried out 180 days after. RESULTS: In the defects without a cover (control), bone proliferation predominated in two animals and fibrous connective tissue predominated in the other two. In defects repaired with a temporal fascia flap, fibrous connective tissue predominated in three animals and bone proliferation predominated in one. In the defects repaired with Gen-derm or Pro-tape collagen membranes there was complete bone proliferation in three animals and fibrous connective tissue in one. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical defect can be repaired with both bone tissue and fibrous connective tissue in all study groups; collagen membranes was more beneficial in the bone repair process than temporal fascia or absence of a barrier.

A relação do beisebol e as drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo

O beisebol que possui origens incertas apresenta um grande número de fãs espalhados pelo mundo todo, especialmente em países como Japão e os Estados Unidos, na América do Sul, há a Venezuela e a Colômbia que se destacam no cenário internacional pelo número de atletas em ligas espalhadas pelo mundo. O Brasil apresenta três jogadores atuando na liga americana de beisebol (MLB) atualmente, e no país ainda falta a criação de uma liga forte para o desenvolvimento do esporte. As drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo presente quase que maciçamente no beisebol, durante a era dos esteróides, período do final dos anos 80 até o começo dos anos 2000, levou a mudanças em sua política antidrogas, principalmente na liga americana de beisebol, em uma busca para tornar o esporte limpo. O hormônio do crescimento e os esteróides anabólicos androgênicos foram as drogas mais consumidas pelos atletas durante a era dos esteróides, no qual não havia testes antidoping, e foi justamente nesse período que houve os maiores avanços nos números ofensivos do esporte, levantando suspeitas sobre as conquistas dos jogadores. Os efeitos adversos e os objetivos dos jogadores de beisebol no uso das drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo serão abordados, assim como as reações dos fãs ao doping no esporte. A metodologia foi feita através da revisão bibliográfica, no qual busquei na literatura existente, e também em websites, livros, revistas e documentários esportivos, dados que fornecem informações sobre as drogas para aumento esportivo relacionadas ao beisebol, no período de setembro de 2014 a setembro de 2015
