Dental development of children and adolescents with cleft lip and palate

Aim: To evaluate the dental development of Brazilian children and adolescents with cleft lip and palate. Methods: The sample consisted of 107 panoramic radiographs of children and adolescents with cleft lip and/or palate (cleft group) and 107 panoramic radiographs of children and adolescents without cleft lip and/or palate (control group), with chronological ages ranging from 6 to 15 years, matched in gender and chronological age within 60 days. Radiographs were digitized and masked and dental age was assessed using the method described by Demirjian et al. (1973). Three trained examiners conducted the assessments. Each examiner evaluated the radiographs three times. Data were statistically analyzed using non-parametric tests and univariate linear regression (p<0.05). Results: The dental age was overestimated in relation to the chronological age in both groups (p<0.0001). Compared to the control group, there was a delay in the dental age in the cleft group of 0.17 years (2.1 months). However, no statistically significant difference in the dental age between the cleft and the control group was found even when considering the different cleft types (p=0.152). Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference in the dental age between the cleft and the control groups. The evaluation of dental development in individuals with cleft lip and palate should be approached in the same way as in individuals without clefts, with a focus on the individualization of diagnosis and treatment planning.

Diferença entre as espécies de Timbó (Derris Spp., Fabaceae) de diferentes regiões da Amazônia no controle da Musca domestica L.

The roots' powder of timbo species collected in different regions of Amazonia that were tested in larvae groupings, didn't produce differential significative effects in two strains of Musca domestica. The two species with the greater number of plants used in the trial were Derris urucu and Derris nicou; the individuals from the species came from regions considered as "forestal refugies" during the Amazonian pleistocene. Among each species the plants varied since that inefficient to control, until plants lethals to the fies. This differential capacity for larvae control among plants of the same species, originated from different regions, suggests that both species had their populations isolated, during the quaternary epoch. In regions or "forestal refugies", where both species were represented, D. urucu was superior to D. nicou in the capacity to control larvae. While among plants from F region (Peruvian-East refuge) of the State of Acre, the two species had convergence in the values of damage to larvae groupings. Among the another species, Derris sp. (yellow timbo or watermelon timbo) didn't show differences in larvae control between samples from the two regions; while the species that was introduced in the Amazonia Denis elleptica showed damage in the larvae groupings similar to the most effective plants of D. nicou and D. urucu.

Teores de rotenona em Clones de Timbó (Derris Spp. Fabaceae) de diferentes regiões da Amazônia e os seus efeitos na emergência de Imagos em Musca Domestica L

The rotenone contents analysis in clones of three timbó species permited the classification of these plants based on their efficiency to control Musca domestica larvae. The results showed significant correlations between the rotenone contents in the Derris urucu and D. nicou clones with the capacity to control the larvae. The plants with high rotenone contents were more effective. The rotenone contents, the effect of Derris species clones on the flics and the localization of the plants origin, showed that among the plants could have happened a populational isolation in the Amazonia during the pleistocene epoch. In Derris sp., that presented lower rotenone contents and was ineffective to control of the larvae, these differences were not observed.
