Análise comparativa do mercado imobiliário em Cidades Médias: a oferta de apartamentos, casas e terrenos urbanos em Campina Grande – PB, Mossoró – RN e Passo Fundo – RS

This presente monograph propose the analysis and discussion of the production of urban space and the processes of their structuring intraurbana from the dynamics of the real estate market into three Medium-sized Cities, Campina Grande - PB, Mossoró - RN and Passo Fundo - RS, whereas the various agents producing this space, in a comparative perspective. From this urban dynamic search to analyze the processes and relations present in these spaces, which are important for its production. From the compilation of real estate advertisements in local newspapers, are analyzed offerings of urban land, houses and apartments in each one of these cities by highlighting their locations and differentiated prices. Thus, working with data from real estate ads from the period 1995 - 2010 and a comparative perspective of the characteristics of real estate markets of three medium-sized cities, it tried to apprehend processes that are common between them and other individuals, to each one. Therefore the comparative analysis developed in this monograph sought to verify whether there are similarities between the cities in relation to the trends of concentration/spatial dispersion of bids and movements throughout time, in addition to a further intensification of the activities of real estate agents in face of such trends and offerings. In addition, we sought to remove a set of problematization that allow them to understand with more acute, in this set of medium cities of Brazilian urban network, processes of change that is already being discussed in the recent period by ReCiMe.

O conceito de saúde geral e bucal na visão dos cuidadores de idosos

The aim of this study was to analyze the perception of elderly caregivers in relation to the meaning of general and oral health and about oral health status of the institutionalized aged. It was performed a qualitative study, using Discourse of Collective Subject method. It were interviewed 42 caregivers who worked in longterm care facilities of Araçatuba City, SP and Passo Fundo City, RS – Brazil, applying a structured questionnaire. The interviews were recorded and transcript to be performed the qualitative analysis. The answers were analyzed and them it was elaborated the discourses of collective subject (DCS). Oral health, according to caregivers, was hygiene habits and good diet, while the absence of oral health was sequelae of oral diseases. It's possible to note that older means of health were being substituted by new perceptions of quality of life and is very divergent between older professionals and those who graduated during last two decades. However, according to caregivers, this health perception as quality of life was not included in Dentistry, where the old mean "absence of symptoms" was prevalent. For part of them, the institutionalized elderly have no oral health and the only way to improve their condition was through clinical attendance.

Congenital diaphragmatic Bochdaleck hernia: Case report

Congenital diaphragmatic Bochdaleck hernia is an anatomical defect of the diaphragm, which allows protrusion of abdominal viscera into the chest, causing serious pulmonary and cardiac complications in the neonate. In this study we aimed to present a case of congenital Bochdaleck hernia. We investigated a 40 weeks old child, with a pregnancy carried out in a public hospital in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We suggest that if diagnosis occurs in the prenatal period, the prognosis of this disease improves. As a consequence, it allows the parity of the fetus to occur in a higher complexity center, optimizing the chances of survival. © 2012 Lava et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Acurácia das medidas de limas endodônticas em radiografias digital e convencional: estudo in vitro em dentes decíduos

The objective of this study is to evaluate the measurement accuracy of endodontic files obtained by digital and conventional radiographies in primary teeth. Kerr and Hedströen files (# 20), with the reference as the apparent length of tooth, were inserted in the root canal of 18 extracted primary teeth, which were x-rayed by digital and conventional techniques. Measurements from a reference point to the apical end were carried out by an experienced operator twice in a week. An electronic ruler was used for the digital method and a caliper was used for the conventional method. The data were subjected to Pearson correlation test and Student´s t test (p = 0.05). The correlation between the first and the second measurements was r = 0.99, regardless the type of file and method. Comparing the measurements within the methods, the agreement was r = 0.96 for Kerr and r = 0.95 for Hedströen files. The values of length files in the digital radiographies were statistically lower than that obtained in the conventional radiographies (p = 0.02). However, the values obtained by the two methods were statistically similar to real length of teeth for Kerr files (p = 0.29) and for Hedströen files (p = 0.18). The digital radiography was a more trustful method to obtain the lengths of endodontic files.

A six-year retrospective study of maxillofacial fractures from radiographic findings in Brazil

Objective: this study aimed to present the causes and prevalence of maxillofacial fractures that occurred in the region of Araraquara-SP – Brazil, during a 6-year period. Methods: information regarding age, gender, etiology, and maxillofacial fracture site, as well as type of radiographic examination were evaluated. Data were gathered from the radiographic examination and radiographic report of the Division of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, and from charts of the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of patients attending for maxillofacial fractures from 2004 to 2009. A descriptive statistical analysis was developed using Epi-Info 3.5.1. Results: from a total of 11,728 patients assisted, 407 patients presented maxillofacial fractures. The prevalent age ranged from 21 to 30 years old. From the total patients, 322 were men and 85 were women (ratio of men to women was 3.8:1). Panoramic radiography (n = 306) was most frequently used to observe maxillofacial fractures. Mandibular fractures were frequent in the body of the mandible (n = 127), followed by symphysis (n = 102), and the prevalent cause was traffic accidents (n = 161). Conclusion: more than half of affected individuals were younger than 40 years of age. The body of the mandible was the most common fracture location visualized by panoramic radiography for traffic accidents and fights.

Hipertonicidade muscular e confecção de próteses totais pela técnica da zona neutra: relato de caso clínico

Introduction: the oral rehabilitation in edentulous patients using removable complete dentures is a classic treatment, easily accessible, and presenting satisfactory results. However, to succeed in this type of treatment, stability is an extremely important factor. The neutral zone technique for the production of complete dentures determines the oral cavity space for the positioning of teeth and denture base that provide a neutralization of the forces delivered by lips, cheeks, and tongue, providing better stability and retention of prostheses, which is indicated in cases with history of difficulties in adapting the conventional mandibular denture. Objective and case report: this paper aimed to describe a clinical case report of the oral rehabilitation of a patient with paraprosthetic muscles hypertonicity through removable complete dentures produced by the neutral zone technique, using condensation silicone. Final considerations: the use of condensation silicone for the development of the neutral zone technique showed to be a good alternative for the development of this clinical case, providing satisfactory stability and retention of the complete mandibular denture.

Reabilitação oral de paciente com sequela cirúrgica utilizando a técnica da zona neutra: relato de caso clínico

Objective and Case report: The purpose of this paper is to describe the neutral zone technique in a patient with oral deformity on the right labial commissure due to the resection of an oral cancer, enhancing the difficulty resulting from mouth limited opening and the use of tissue conditioner material to determine the neutral zone. Complete denture was obtained through this technique, providing good retention and stability which made functional rehabilitation feasible to patient of his or her masticatory function. Final considerations: The neutral zone technique in complete dentures will determine a specific intraoral area for tooth position and denture base contour where the forces generated by lips, cheeks and tongue are neutralized. The objective of this technique is to provide an alternative approach for patients who presented an historic instability of lower complete denture: atrophic ridge, oral deformities and also with disorder problems. An oral rehabilitation using this technique improves comfort to the patient providing retention and stability of mandibular complete dentures.

Avaliação in vitro do pH do hidróxido de cálcio usado como medicação intracanal em associação com clorexidina e racealfatocoferol

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pH of calcium hydroxide (CalenTM) when associated or not with chlorhexidine 0.4%, and when associated with chlorhexidine with the addition of 20% or 10% of alphatocopherol (AchéTM), assessed in several periods of time. Methods: Fourty dentine tubes 20 mm, properly standardized, were made from bovine anterior teeth roots. Following, a perforation was achieved in the roots distal face at 7 mm from the cervical radicular line by using a #1/2 carbide bur. After complete root sealing is made, except in the perforation local, the radicular canals were filled with one of the following associations: Group I – Calen®; Group II – Calen™ with chlorehxidine at 0.4%; Group III – Calen™ with chlorhexidine at 0.4% with the addition of 20% (weight) of alhatocopherol compound and Group IV – Calen™ with chlorhexidine at 0.4% with the addition of 10% (weight) alphatocopherol. After cervical sealing is accomplished, the roots were immersed in water MiliQ and the pH, assessed in 24h, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 45 days. Results and Conclusion: In all periods tested, the pH of the calcium hydroxide (Calen™) was similar to the pH of the calcium hydroxide (Calen™) associated with chlorhexidine 0.4% and 10% alphatocopherol (p > 0.05). The association of 20% alphatocopherol obtained the pH lower than the association with 10% (p < 0.05). The pH of the association with chlorhexidine was similar to the pure calcium hydrocide (Calen™) after the 14th day (p > 0.05) only. Therefore, on the 45th day, this difference was significant again (p < 0.05).

Influência da reinstrumentação do degrau apical radicular após o posicionamento primário do cone principal de guta-percha noselamento apical

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the apical leakage after the apical re-preparation and replacement of the principal gutta-percha point plus endodontic sealer (Sealer 26TM). Sixty extracted human canines were prepared by using a step back technique up to size 50 K type file apically. At each change of instrument the canals were irrigated with distilled water. After that step, the external surface roots were coated and subdivided into six groups with ten roots each: I – single gutta percha point technique; II – lateral condensation and III – hybrid technique. The IV, V and VI groups were similar to others groups but after to place the principal gutta percha point, it was removed, re-prepared up to size 60K file and in sequence replaced the principal gutta percha point and the root canal filling finished. The specimens were immersed in 2% Rhodamine BTM for 7 days at 37 oC. The apical leakage was measured by Image ToolsTM program. With Kruskal Wallis test statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the techniques (p > 0.05).

Influência do cimento obturador e agente de irrigação final na infiltração marginal em situações de sobreobturações endodônticas

Objective: The objective of this paper was to verify if the final irrigation at 17% EDTA, separately or followed by chlorhexidine digluconate at 2% interferes on the apical marginal leakage in root canal overfilling, due to the use of two root canal filling materials (Sealer 26TM or SealapexTM). Methods: Forty lower incisors extracted, with a single root canal, were biomechanically prepared, at 2.0mm beyond the radicular apex, with ProTaper SystemTM, finishing it with the F3 instrument. Irrigation was accomplished with 1.0 mL NaOCl at 2.5% at each change of equipment caliper and, in the end, with 5.0 mL normal saline solution. After achieving this procedure, the foraminal channels was standardized with a file K 25 until its DO appears in the foraminal opening. From this moment, the teeth were subdivided into two groups of 20 specimens each, because of the final irrigation method used: I – irrigation with EDTA at 17% for 3min and II – identical protocol, thus, after EDTA aspiration at17%, it was again irrigated with chlorhexidine digluconate at 2%, also kept intra-canal for 3min. Each group was again sub-divided into two sub-groups (ten teeth each), according to the cement used (Sealer 26TM or SealapexTM), and filled by using a single gutta-percha F1 (ProTaperTM, Universal Filling), in such a manner that it goes 2.0 mm beyond the radicular apex. Soon after that, the teeth were immersed in Rhodamine BTM for 72h, vacuum and after the roots have been bucolingually grooved, the leakages marked were measured with program Image ToolTM. Results and Conclusions: The leakage magnitude was similar among themselves (p > 0.05), except for group Sealapex®, thus the final use with chlorhexidine reduced apical leakage (p < 0.05).

Conhecimento de mães sobre os procedimentos de emergência nos casos de avulsão dentária

Introduction: Despite tooth avulsion following trauma being relatively common in children, the available studies show that adults have limited knowledge about it. Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess, by a questionnaire, the mothers’ general knowledge about the immediate management of tooth avulsion. Material and method: This descriptive study was carried out on a convenient sample of mothers (n= 65) who participated of the “Pastoral da Criança”, from Araraquara, SP, Brazil. The questionnaire comprised 15 questions about personal data and knowledge on tooth avulsion management. Results: Participants were, on average, 35 years old. A total of 30.8% of the mothers reported that their children suffered dental trauma. The majority had never received advice on this subject (76.9%); and did not know how teeth are kept in the dental arch (69.2%). Almost a half of the sample believed that an avulsed tooth can be replanted (49.2%). In relation to the management of tooth avulsion, 40% of them would clean the avulsed tooth with water, even if it was not dirty (38.5%). Most of them (69.2%) would take the tooth by hand for cleaning purposes, regardless the tooth region; and believed that brushing the tooth was important to take the dirty out (67.7%). Conclusion: The general knowledge of mothers about the immediate management of tooth avulsion was considered inadequate endangering the successful treatment of tooth avulsion.

Diagnóstico radiográfico diferencial das reabsorções radiculares internas e externas entre especialistas em endodontia e clínicos gerais

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of endodontists and general practioners to perform the differential radiographic diagnosis between internal and external root resorptions, using digitized periapical radiographs. Methods: Thirty periapical radiographic images of external and internal resorption were selected. The evaluators were comprised of 15 endodontists and 29 general practitioners who answered a questionnaire with the following question: “What type of resorption in the following radiographics do you diagnose?” (1) Inflammatory external root resorption. (2) Internal root resorption. Statistical analysis was performed based on the Mann-Whitney test, with significance level of 5%. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of correct answers from specialists in endodontics and general practitioners. Conclusions: Both groups demonstrated satisfactory skill in the radiographic interpretation of internal and external resorption and there was a higher percentage of correct diagnosis of internal resorption than the external.
