Avaliação da resistência adesiva de diferentes sistemas resinosos de colagem ortodôntica

Recent orthodontic bonding materials have aimed to reduce the working time of the clinician, by simplifying the acid etching procedure by applying self-etching primer adhesive systems. However, the adhesion quality of these materials still demands investigation. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the bond strengths of three different adhesive systems. A hundred and eighty bovine lower incisors were cut and embebbed in acrylic resin matrices, in which orthodontic brackets were bonded with Transbond XT (2n = 60), Transbond XT Self Etching Primer (2n = 60) e Tyrian (2n = 60). For each composite, bond strength tests were executed immediately (n = 30) and 24 hours (n = 30) after the bonding, in the assay machine Versat 2000 (Pantec), by applying 500 Kgf of load at 1mm/min of velocity. Transbond XT, Transbond XT Self Etching Primer and Tyrian presented, respectively, average values of bond strength of 7.43, 7.09 and 3.41 MPa at the time immediately, and 7.42, 8.81 and 5.35 MPa at 24 hours after the bonding, where differences were statistically significant at 5% between Tyrian and Transbond groups at both observation times. It was concluded that Tyrian was the material that presented significant lower bond strength with regard to Transbond groups that were similar.

Reabilitação de maxila atrófica com tecido ósseo homógeno e prótese fixa implantossuportada

The techniques of bone reconstruction for atrophic maxillae have been improved in order to promote bone tissue growth in both height and thickness. The grafts performed with use of autogenous bone is considered the gold standard by most researchers, for demonstrating osteogenic capacity and not to promote antigenic response. However, this type of grafting is not possible to get bone tissue in large quantity for extensive renovations. In recent years, alternatives have been researched to overcome the limitations of autogenous bone. Several alternatives have been investigated to supply the disadvantages of autogenous bone grafts. In such studies, allogeneic bone grafts which are obtained from individuals with different genetic load, but from the same species have been extensively used. They can be indicated in cases of arthrosplasty, surgical knee reconstruction, and large bone defects as well as in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Besides showing great applicability and biocompatibility, this type of bone is available in unlimited quantities. To rehabilitate atrophic maxillae an option that has been performed with high success rate is the reconstruction with bone graft followed by osseointegrated dental implants to rehabilitate the patient aesthetics and functionally. This paper aims to show the feasibility of allogenic bone as material for reconstruction of atrophic maxilla, and subsequent rehabilitation with metal ceramic fixed prosthesis implant and dental restoration with accompanying three years through literature review and clinical case report.

Oclusão em prótese sobre implante - parte I

Osseointegrated implants have specific nature distinguish them from natural teeth making them more susceptible to the efforts generated by mastication. The absence of periodontal ligament, which absorbs the masticatory forces and allows the movement of the teeth interfere with the reception of occlusal loads and therefore the predictability of implants. In the boneimplant interface did not occur the phenomena of dissipation of impact, even the movement induced. Thus, during planning and installation of implant prosthesis, the type and characteristics of occlusal pattern adopted should be established with criteria to be no grounds for future failures. In this regard we highlight the occlusal overload generated by several reasons like the presence of premature contacts, interference during motion excursive, deleterious habits and inappropriate extensions on cantilevers. Thus, the objective is to provide a review of the literature regarding the importance of occlusion in oral rehabilitation with implants. Factors to be considered in establishing a favorable occlusion, consistent with prostheses on implants will be described

Oclusão em prótese sobre implante - parte II

In part I of this article, the factors related to the establishment of a favourable occlusion for the implant prosthodontics as well as its real importance in this kind of rehabilitation were showed up. However, it is known that the occlusal characteristics adopted in implant prosthodontics show specific patterns which must be different between each other in accordance to the type of prosthesis installed. The objective of the second part of this work is to present to the reader, by a literature review, those characteristics, justifying the reason because they must be associated to specific kind of prosthesis for favor the treatment established.

Prótese de palato em sujeitos com disfunção velofaríngea: expectativa e ansiedade

Cleft lip and palate (CLL) is a very common craniofacial anomaly. The cleft is usually corrected with surgery which may fail resulting in velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD). The use of palatal prosthesis is an alternative treatment for correcting both, CLP and VPD. This study evaluated anxiety symptoms expectations of subjects of both genders, with velopharyngeal dysfunction, referred to palatal prosthesis program for VPD treatment. In this cross sectional and descriptive study 30 subjects with velopharyngeal dysfunction, aged 15 to 64 years old (mean age of 28) were interviewed at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies (HRAC). All subjects referred to the palatal prosthesis program at HRAC in the year of 2005 were considered for participation in the study but only the first 30 candidates were included. A questionnaire addressing expectation elaborated by the researcher and the Beck Scale on anxiety were used. All subjects showed expectation regarding speech modification. Changes in professional and affective aspects of their lives after changes in speech were obtained with palatal prosthesis were the most reported expectations. Subjects’ age and gender influenced anxiety levels significantly which were minimum across subjects. High levels of expectation were more frequent than anxiety in the sample population.

Surdez pós-lingual: benefícios do implante coclear versus prótese auditiva convencional

Devido aos avanços na tecnologia dos implantes cocleares e das estratégias de processamento, indivíduos com surdez grave a profunda puderam ouvir sons e reconhecer fala em diferentes graus. A variabilidade nos resultados audiológicos em portadores de surdez pós-lingual tem sido grande e a indicação para o implante coclear tem se estendido e inclui uma população cada vez maior. OBJETIVO: Avaliar em quais pacientes portadores de surdez pós-lingual o implante coclear traz benefício auditivo superior ao da prótese auditiva convencional. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: consulta a artigos científicos por busca no banco de dados SciELO, Cochrane, MEDLINE e LILACS-BIREME. Foram selecionadas publicações com força de evidência A ou B até a data da investigação, que comparassem aparelhos de amplificação sonora e implante coclear na população com surdez pós-lingual. Desenho do Estudo: revisão sistemática. RESULTADOS: Entre os 2169 artigos consultados, 11 trabalhos se mostram pertinentes ao tema e apresentaram força de evidência B. Seis estudos são do tipo coorte prospectivo, quatro são estudos transversais e um ensaio clinico. CONCLUSÃO: A avaliação dos benefícios obtidos por portadores de surdez pós-lingual reabilitados com o uso de implante coclear mostra que este dispositivo é efetivo e apresenta melhores resultados quando comparado aos aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual.

Surdez pré-lingual: benefícios do implante coclear versus prótese auditiva convencional

INTRODUÇÃO: A maioria dos pacientes com perda auditiva, incluindo casos de perdas severas, é beneficiada com o uso de aparelho de amplificação sonora individual. Acredita-se que o implante coclear estabeleça melhores resultados na reabilitação de uma criança com perda auditiva nos casos em que a gravidade da deficiência torna os aparelhos acústicos convencionais incapazes de fornecer informação sonora adequada, já que estes necessitam de reserva coclear suficiente para que ocorra detecção acústica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar se em pacientes portadores de surdez pré-lingual o implante coclear traz benefício auditivo superior ao da prótese auditiva convencional. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: Revisão sistemática realizada a partir de consulta a artigos científicos selecionados por busca no banco de dados SciELO, Cochrane, MEDLINE e LILACS-BIREME. Entre os 2169 artigos consultados, 12 trabalhos se mostram pertinentes ao tema e apresentaram força de evidência B. Entre os desenhos de estudos analisados na revisão, 7 são do tipo coorte prospectivo e 5 são estudos transversais. CONCLUSÃO: O implante coclear demonstrou, através de diversos estudos, ser atualmente, a melhor alternativa para os casos de perdas auditivas bilaterais severas ou profundas, atingindo resultados superiores em percepção e desenvolvimento de fala em crianças pré-linguais quando comparados aos aparelhos de amplificação sonora convencionais.
