Emprego de técnica cirúrgica e materiais adesivos diretos no fechamento de diastema

The following is a clinical case report of a patient whose main complaint was the presence of a generalized spacing in the anterior maxillary segment. After meticulous clinical analysis and discussions of the clinical procedures to be adopted, a labial frenectomy was our first choice, so that we could reduce the diastemas directly using composite resin. It was observed that the association of clinical and restorative procedures was capable of giving back shape, function and dental aesthetics, allowing to the young patient the satisfaction of smiling without any fear.

Influência da clareação sobre a polpa dentária

Tooth bleaching is the most common treatment and more conservative to get a smile with white teeth. However, the tooth sensitivity has been a major adverse effects caused by this treatment, which raises questions about the effect of bleaching the pulp. Therefore, we performed a literature review in order to study the relationship between bleaching agents and their possible effects on the dental pulp. We review various articles showing that the peroxide compound used to whiten teeth, penetrates through enamel and dentin until the pulp chamber causing changes of variable intensity or induce pulp necrosis. Moreover, we found that the higher the concentration of peroxide in the bleaching agent, and the greater the contact time with this dental structure, the greater the damage caused in the pulp. Although several studies show that the bleaching agent hydrogen peroxide-based pulp can make changes, there are still many gaps to be filled.

Diastemas: reestablishment of an attractive smile

A healthy and attractive smile is very valued in today s society. Yet this requires better aesthetic and cosmetic solutions from dental surgeons.The present paper presents a case report of diastema closure using an association of tooth movement induced by orthodontic elastics,dental cosmetics and resin-bonded prosthesis. The female patient L.B.A.J., aged 19 years, visited the Integrated Clinic of Araçatuba DentalSchool UNESP mainly complaining of missing teeth and poor esthetics. After anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examination revealedhypodontia of the maxillary right and left first premolars, abnormal maxillary right lateral incisor shape and diastema between the maxillaryright lateral incisor and canine and between the maxillary left lateral incisor and canine. Planning was done which included indication ofdiastema closure with composite resin restoration and metal-free resin-bonded prosthesis, with a structure made of Vectris (Ivoclar VivadentInc., Amherst, NT, USA). The option for dental cosmetics associated with resin-bonded prosthesis after movement with orthodontic elasticsresulted in an excellent aesthetic outcome of low cost and short treatment duration.Indexing terms: composite resins; diastema; fixed resin bonded partial denture.

O impacto das próteses implantossuportadas na harmonia facial

Many patients seeking dental care wish to improve facial and smile aesthetics to be accepted in modern day society. In denture wearers, the physiological resorption causes atrophy mainly in the maxilla, being necessary to carry out reconstruction techniques and sometimes orthognathic surgery to improve occlusal stability and facial harmony. The aim of this study is to discuss the features related to the rehabilitation of edentulous patients with indication for reconstruction of the maxilla using bone grafts and orthognathic surgery by means of a clinical case. In the present case, after the prosthetic rehabilitation, the patient was full satisfied with obtained results and dismissed the initially proposed surgical protocol. Therefore, professionals should provide therapeutic options but the patient’s opinion should prevail provided its clinical feasibility.

Avaliação histométrica das áreas de tração e compressão do periodonto dos primeiros molares de ratos submetidos à movimentação dentária induzida

Metidos a movimentação dentária induzida. Métodos: utilizou-se 30 ratos Wistar, divididos em três grupos (GI, GII e GIII), compostos por 10 animais cada e sacrificados, respectivamente, 7, 14 e 21 dias após o início do experimento. Os valores médios individuais dos grupos experimentais foram comparados com seu respectivo controle por meio do teste Mann-Whitney. Comparou-se, também, os valores entre regiões em um mesmo período de tempo e, ainda, entre períodos de tempo diferentes em uma mesma região através da Análise de Variância (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis e subsequente teste de Tukey. Resultados: os grupos GI e GII exibiram a dimensão do LPD diminuída nas regiões apical da raiz mesiovestibular e cervical da raiz distovestibular, e aumentada nas regiões cervical da raiz mesiovestibular, apical da raiz distovestibular e média de ambas as raízes. Conclusão: a diminuição e o aumento da dimensão do LPD evidenciada em uma mesma raiz — mesiovestibular ou distovestibular —, caracterizou o movimento dentário no sentido de inclinação. As três regiões, apical, média e cervical, comparadas entre si em cada período de tempo, bem como os três períodos de tempo, 7, 14 e 21 dias, comparados entre si em cada região, confirmaram o movimento de inclinação em GI e GII, e a diminuição gradual da intensidade dos fenômenos de GI para GII, até o restabelecimento da normalidade dimensional em GIII.

Avaliação da movimentação dentária induzida após trauma de subluxação: estudo experimental em ratos

Objetivo: avaliar as alterações histológicas ocorridas na área periodontal de molares de ratos submetidos à movimentação dentária induzida (MDI), logo após um trauma intencional (subluxação). Métodos: quarenta ratos Wistar machos adultos (Rattus norvegicus albinus) foram selecionados. Os animais foram divididos em oito grupos (n = 5), de acordo com a combinação das variáveis: Grupo 1 – controle (sem trauma e sem MDI); Grupo 2 – MDI; Grupos 3, 4, 5 e 6 – grupos de trauma dentoalveolar correspondendo, respectivamente, para 1, 3, 8 e 10 dias após o trauma; Grupos 7 e 8 – os molares murinos foram submetidos a um impacto de 900cN e, de um e três dias após o evento trauma, o movimento do dente foi induzido. Os primeiros molares superiores dos animais foram movidos mesialmente durante sete dias, com uma mola fechada (50cN). Após período experimental de cada grupo, os animais foram sacrificados por overdose anestésica e as maxilas direitas foram removidas e processadas para análise histológica qualitativa. Resultados: nos animais dos grupos 3, 4, 5 e 6, as alterações histológicas não foram muito significativas. Consequentemente, o efeito do movimento dentário induzido logo após um evento de subluxação (grupos 7 e 8) foi muito semelhante ao descrito para o grupo 2. Conclusão: não houve diferença na qualidade do reparo periodontal quando a MDI foi aplicada aos dentes que sofreram um trauma de subluxação.
