Abordagens da biomecânica ortodôntica utilizando mini-implantes

As an innovative transitory anchorage device, the mini-implants deserve to be described with details regarding its use and action during orthodontic treatment. Therefore, this paper intents to present some biomechanic criteria adopted to for a better use of mini-implants as anchorage in anterior retraction (space closure), molar distalization, mesial movement of the molars, intrusion of molars and as support to provisional implant.

O ato alimentar em três espécies de Artibeus de grande porte (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) do Sudeste brasileiro

The alimentary act of three species of frugivorous bats of the genus Artibeus: A. lituratus, A. fimbriatus and A. planirostris, in a total of nine individuals, was studied by observations in field and captivity, during the months of May to September of 2008. With the objective to caracterize the form of consumption of two tipes of fruits (soft and consistent) and it relates with the dentary structure of this bats, the alimentary act was film and analysed later. It had little variation between the species. The fruits had been consumed in similar way, being that statistics analisis had demonstrated that consistent fruits had received more lateral bytes than the soft fruits. The dentary analisis shown that the posterior teeth (pre-molar and molar) present important characteristcs to triturate pieces of more consistent fruits and the incisors serve to scrape the pulp of the soft fruits. This study it served to describe the form of feeding of frugivorous bats, that little is explained in the studies of alimentary behavior

Desgaste superficial do esmalte dental após microabrasão in vitro

The aim of this study was to investigate the enamel wear permanent teeth after plastic stick or low speed rubber cup microabrasion. Ten permanent molars were selected to evaluate enamel wear which were sectioned into mesial and distal halves. Each half of the molars was randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups (n = 10) according to the enamel microabrasion technique: plastic stick (GE) or rubber cup (GT). In both the groups, the enamel was submitted to 10 applications of an abrasive paste comprised of 35% phosphoric acid and pumice powder. The paste was applied for 20 seconds under a pressure of 30 g using the instrument defined for each group (plastic stick or rubber cup). The specimens were evaluated under a stereomicroscope connected to a computer. The enamel wear no was statistically different between GE and GT, which presented a mean wear of 304.74 µm (21.20%) and 338.35 µm (22.75%). In conclusion, superficial enamel wear was seen for both the groups, independent of the technique used for the accomplishment of the microabrasion.

Accuracy of radiographic examination in determining the depth of approximal carious lesions in primary molars

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the depth of carious lesions on bitewing radiographs. Methods Recently extracted primary molars had their proximal surfaces evaluated visually (EC) and classified as healthy surface (0), signs that suggest the presence of carious lesions in enamel (1), signs of a superficial lesion in dentin (2) and carious lesions in deep dentin (3). Results The results were obtained by consensus between the investigators. The gold standard was determined by histological analysis. The values of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve were evaluated. There was equilibrium between sensitivity (76.92% EC and 88.46% ER) and specificity (95.83% EC and 95.83% ER). Accuracy was 86.01% (EC) and 88.46% (ER). The Spearman correlation test was used to prove the correlation between clinical and radiographic examinations (0.886), for clinical and histological (0.736) and for radiographic and histological analysis (0.843).

Abordaje conservador y mínimamente invasivo de la hipomineralización molar-incisivo (HMI) - Relato de casos clínicos

Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental enamel defect that affects one to four permanent first molars, with or without involvement of permanent incisors. Enamel defects may produce many symptoms that have physical, social and psychological effects and influence day-to-day living or quality of life. The available treatment modalities for teeth with MIH are extensive, ranging from prevention, restoration, to extraction. Factors such as age, patient expectations, severity of the lesion and materials should be considered in the treatment of the patient with MIH. Restoration with composite resin is an alternative choice for posterior and anterior MIH defective teeth and its use has been show acceptable results. This article describes two clinical cases involving pediatric patients with MIH whose procedure of cavity preparation was based on the use of CVD ultrasound diamond tips and restored using composite resin obtaining favorable esthetics results after a 1 year follow-up.
