Estrutura do esmalte humano e sua interface com sistemas adesivos

Esta tese sistematiza uma série de estudos dedicados à compreensão da interface do esmalte e sistemas adesivos. Para tanto, a estrutura da camada aprismática do esmalte em alta resolução pela microscopia eletrônica de varredura foi avaliada quanto a sua continuidade, espessura, distribuição nas faces coronárias e em fossas e fissuras, predominantemente em dentes decíduos não erupcionados. Foi também analisado pela microscopia eletrônica de varredura os efeitos do condicionamento de diferentes tipos de ácido e, em especial, do ácido fosfórico em diferentes concentrações, metodologias e tempos de aplicação. Estes trabalhos permitiram visualizar as principais ações ácidas desmineralizantes e os tipos de retenções no centro ou periferias dos prismas ou em ambas as regiões, bem como a profundidade e forma dos “tags” resinosos com carga e sem carga na intimidade do esmalte. No caso particular da aplicação dos selantes em fossas e fissuras foi também avaliada comparativamente a eficácia das técnicas invasivas ou não invasivas. Os últimos experimentos foram dedicados ao estudo da microinfiltração de diferentes sistemas adesivos e da resistência destes sistemas adesivos na estrutura do esmalte. Novos estudos merecem dar continuidade à linha de pesquisa de sempre priorizando o propósito de vincular os procedimentos aplicados com uma consistente e indispensável fundamentação de pesquisa básica no interesse da clínica odontopediátrica.

Considerações clínicas em implantes imediatos

The biological principles of osseointegration caused the rehabilitation treatment with osseointegrated implant become a safe, well alternative accepted by the dental community for the high success rate, allowing the preparation of functional and aesthetic prostheses in edentulous and partial patients. We passed the initial phase of functional vision for an aesthetic approach, too, depending on the demands of the patient and the quest for excellence by professionals. Over these last years, implant treatment has undergone many changes in surgical and prosthetic protocols. The less invasive surgical techniques and the development of restorative materials, especially ceramics allow the prosthetic rehabilitation of high functional quality and aesthetics. The installation of implants in sockets immediately after extraction of teeth involved by fracture, periodontal disease, endodontic lesions, is part of the arsenal of techniques for rehabilitating a number of advantages that we get to the outcome of multidisciplinary treatment. For this, we must consider several criteria in its planning as a fundamental unit, adjacent teeth, multiple losses, system, form and number of implants, type of retention of the prosthesis components, the patient expectation of the outcome perspective, gingival biotype, standard of ridge resorption, the smile line, etc. occlusal analysis. With the three-dimensional placement of the implant can immediately join the biological processes of repair of the socket, implant osseointegration, speeding treatment time. Much has been made by companies in the surface treatment of endosseous implants to be osseointegration shortened and restorative procedures started earlier, bringing benefits to the patient and professional. Among the main advantages we can emphasize the preservation of the structures adjacent to the teeth replaced, minor resorption of bone tissue involved...

Caracterização radiográfica ex vivo de biomateriais utilizados para regeneração óssea em mandíbulas de porcos

Introduction: The radiographic characteristics of a biomaterial, such as its density, may influence the evaluation of the results obtained following its clinical use. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic density of biomaterials used as bone substitutes, inserted into dental sockets and bone defects in created in the jaws of pigs. The influence of a soft tissue simulator on the results was also evaluated. Material and method: Two and three-millimeter-deep bone defects were created in the pigs mandible and the right first molar extraction socket were used. Commercial samples of five biomaterials were tested: Hydroxyapatite, Lyophilized Bovine Bone, 45S5 bioglass (generic), PerioGlass and β-Tri-Calcium Phosphate, and compared to a positive (mandibular bone) and negative (empty alveolar bone defects) controls. Radiographic images were acquired with and without a 10 mm thick soft-tissue simulator. Result: The results for the extraction sockets showed no differences between the biomaterials and the negative control. For the bone defects, the depth of the defect density influenced the density, both in the negative control (p < 0.01) and biomaterials (p < 0.05) groups. The soft- tissue simulator did not alter the results. Conclusion: The type of the evaluated defect can interfere in the radiographic features presented by each biomaterial, while the simulation of soft tissues was not statistically significant.

Influência do desenho do implante na micromovimentação de implantes imediatos com carga imediata: análise multivariada em elementos finitos

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the influence of different implant designs on the micromovements of immediately placed implants. CT-based finite element models comprising an upper central incisor socket and four commercially available internal connection implant designs (SIN SW®, 3i Certain®, Nobel ReplaceTM, and RN synOcta® ITI Standard) of comparable diameter and length were constructed. 50, 100 and 200N magnitude loads were applied over the implant. ANOVA at 95% level of significance was used to evaluate bone to implant relative displacement (micromovements). The implant design (68,80%) greatly influences the micromovement of immediately placed implants. However, the loading magnitude (68,80%) is the most important factor regarding the implant stability in this protocol.

Human identification by means of conventional and digital Cheiloscopy: a study of the literature

One of the areas of human identification is Cheiloscopy, the name given to the study of the lips, their characteristics (such as thickness, position of the grooves and grooves) and the record of the impressions left by them. There are variations in the layout of the lines and fissures of the lips, which are unique to each individual, permanent and unchanging. The lip print rarely changes, enduring minor traumas such as inflammation or sores. In criminal investigations, lip prints, visible through the presence of lipstick, can be found on glasses, napkins, clothes, cigarettes, indicating a relationship between the subject and the scene of the crime. Latent impressions may be revealed employing specific chemicals such as powder of silver and aluminum nitrate. Although it is not a very common method, Cheiloscopy may become very useful in forensics due to the extensive amount of valuable information that it brings. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the use of Cheiloscopy in human identification, using traditional and digital methods. It was found that the literature is still in need of studies in this area. The advent of new digital technologies can facilitate the implementation of technical expertise, generating speed and objectivity. New research studies are necessary, especially in the development of digital methods. The application of Cheiloscopy can greatlyhelp with Law, in the identification of living suspects and dead individuals. In the end the benefit will fall to society as a whole.

Entre o cárcere e a liberdade: apostas na produção cotidiana de modos diferentes de cuidar

This paper presents some reflections about the challenge of the Psychiatric Reform (RP) and the National Policy of Humanization (NHP) to change modes of production and health care. Starting at observations about the current scenario , marked by a conservative tendency, the author seeks to explain the care that has freedom as a principle and ethical requirement and that compulsory admissions represents a worrying setback in the public mental health policy. At the end the author points out that both policies (PNH and Mental Health) are bets which are produced in nooks and crevices of the conservative model, which represents an immense challenge.

Replantation as treatment for extrusive luxation

In the treatment of extrusive luxation cases, it is important that the repositioning of extruded tooth in the socket is done as soon as possible. If this does not occur, periapical clot becomes organized and makes replantation difficult reposition. In this article the patient referred to the Clinics for dental trauma sustaining extrusive luxation of the maxillary right central incisor. The patient reported having suffered a bicycle accident 12 days before, which caused traumatic tooth injuries. The repositioning was attempted without success and an alternative form of treatment was necessary to solve the case. Intentional tooth replantation, which is the deliberate extraction of the tooth and its replantation, was indicated. This technique allows clot removal and correct repositioning of the extruded tooth. Care should be taken as endodontic treatment is required for the prevention of subsequent infection-related resorption. Intracanal dressing with calcium hydroxide was used for 30 days before final root filling. Splint, systemic antibiotics and avoidance of further damage to the root surface is also important. After 49 months, showed clinical and radiographic characteristics of normality and demonstrates the availability of this technique to adversity in trauma.
