A neoplasia maligna da mama é uma das principais causa de mortalidade feminina, considerada como problema de saúde pública. Neste trabalho pesquisamos a presença do Papilomavírus Humano (HPV) nos tumores mamários benignos e malignos e em amostras de tecido mamário normal. Foi utilizada a técnica da Reação em Cadeia de Polimerase (PCR) para detecção molecular do DNA HPV em 63 pacientes, assim distribuídas: 28 tumores malignos, 17 tumores benignos e 18 amostras de tecido retro areolar de mamas normais. Os nossos resultados revelaram positividade para a seqüência do DNA HPV em 11 amostras, todas pertencentes às portadoras de tumores malignos: 17,4% de todas as amostras e 39,2% dos tumores malignos. Todos os tumores positivos revelaram DNA HPV para os tipos oncogênicos 16 e/ou 18, não foi detectado DNA HPV 06 e 11. Os resultados demonstraram elevada positividade para os receptores hormonais nas amostras positivas examinadas e apresentaram um seguimento com prevalência de eventos desfavoráveis como recidivas loco-regionais, metástases e óbito nas portadoras de DNA HPV. Os achados ratificam os dados encontrados na literatura, mostrando uma possível participação deste vírus no desenvolvimento do câncer de mama e possível contribuição desfavorável na evolução clínica.

INTRODUÇÃO: o ortodontista clínico deve esperar alguma perda do alinhamento dentário obtido durante o tratamento ortodôntico nos casos em que a contenção ortodôntica foi suspensa pelo profissional ou perdida pelo paciente. Nessa situação, os pacientes são, frequentemente, relutantes em novamente usar braquetes para retratar o alinhamento dentário perdido após o tratamento. OBJETIVO: esse artigo descreve o uso de uma técnica simples e eficiente para corrigir pequenas alterações do alinhamento dentário. Esse procedimento, inovador e de baixo custo, produz a resolução da recidiva em poucas semanas. A força usada para realinhar os dentes é obtida através de um fio elastomérico transparente amarrado a uma contenção fixa, de vários filamentos, colada às arcadas superior e inferior.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficiência de diferentes tipos e concentrações de catalisadores químicos sobre a efetividade de um gel a base de peróxido de hidrogênio a 35% no clareamento dental. Foram utilizados 170 dentes incisivos bovinos dos quais foram obtidos 510 discos de esmalte-dentina, com 3mm de diâmetro, utilizando-se broca tipo trefina. A leitura da cor dos espécimes foi realizada com um espectrofotômetro de refletância. Foi utilizado para todos os grupos um gel experimental a base de peróxido de hidrogênio a 35%. Para avaliação dos catalisadores químicos, os espécimes foram divididos em grupos de acordo com o tipo e a concentração da substância adicionada: SF - Sulfato Ferroso (0,001%, 0,002% e 0,003%), GF - Gluconato Ferroso (0,01%, 0,02% e 0,03%), CF - Cloreto Férrico (0,01%, 0,02% e 0,03%), GM - Gluconato de Manganês (0,01%, 0,02% e 0,03%) e CM - Cloreto de Manganês (0,01%, 0,02% e 0,03%). Dois grupos controle foram preparados, sendo eles um grupo controle positivo (CP), na qual não foi adicionado nenhum catalisador químico ao gel clareador, e um grupo controle negativo (CN), onde os espécimes não foram clareados e foram apenas submersos em saliva artificial. Sobre a superfície de esmalte foram realizadas 3 aplicações dos respectivos géis clareadores por 10 min cada, as quais foram repetidas após 7 dias, totalizando 2 sessões de 30 minutos. Foram feitas avaliações de cor antes do clareamento, 7 dias após da primeira sessão e 7 dias após a segunda. Os espécimes foram armazenados em saliva artificial e novamente avaliados após 1 ano. Os dados foram analisados pelos testes de análise da variância paramétrica (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey. Os resultados mostraram que o uso de alguns dos ativadores químicos testados foram efetivos em reduzir o amarelamento das amostras...

The goal of mentoplasty is to improve chin projection. Traditionally, this is accomplished by either mandibular osteotomy or alloplastic implants. However, these procedures are not free of complications. This report describes gliding mentoplasty, a novel, simple technique for chin projection.The 12 patients in this study underwent gliding mentoplasty. By means of a 2-cm intraoral incision, a subcutaneous dissection was made in the caudal direction. The dissection then proceeded in the subperiosteal plane, leaving a 1-cm cuff of muscle attached to the bone, and advanced toward the lower border of the chin. Subsequently, the dissection was extended laterally, and the whole mental area was dissected from the surrounding tissue. Three 2-0 monofilament nylon sutures were placed in the submandibular periosteum and connected through the remaining muscle cuff to the periosteum. These key sutures allowed the submandibular region to slide forward, project the subcutaneous tissue and mentalis muscle, define the labiomental fold, and improve the pogonion projection.Gliding mentoplasty resulted in a symmetric projection of the chin in all cases. In two patients, a submandibular dimple developed, which spontaneously resolved in 1 month. No revision surgery was performed, and no tissue relapse was noted. The mean follow-up period was 24.7 +/- A 5.17 months (range 19-33 months). All the patients were satisfied with the result.Gliding mentoplasty is a simple, easy-to-perform, rapid surgical technique of chin projection that produces low pain, rapid recovery, and excellent cosmetic results.This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

This study evaluated the maxillary transversal changes caused by the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) accomplished by Hyrax appliance. Sixteen children from both genders were selected and treated, with ages between 7.7 to 10.8 years, who presented unilateral or bilateral posterior crossbite. Postero-anterior radiographs were taken at the beginning of the treatment, end and post-retention period. The treatment promoted an average opening of 8.8 mm of IMD (intermolar distance), 2.33 mm of IAD (interapex distance) and none of IID (interincisal distance). At the end of retention period, relapse was observed, with a decrease of 4.3 mm of IMD, 1.23 mm of IAD, a non-significant enlargement of IID (0,38 mm).These results confirm the significant influence of Hyrax appliance on transverse dimensions, represented by enlargement of IMD and IAD and its effectiveness to solve posterior crossbites.

Patients are looking for esthetic and functional changes when seeking orthodontic treatment and expect the remaining of a stable occlusion. Occlusion stability is one of the goals of the orthodontist; however, dental relationships changes in long-term can occur leading to a relapse of the treatment. Teeth and shape of arches tend to return to the original form, been the retention phase important after the appliance removal, even after several years of post-treatment. This article approaches a submission of a clinical case of Class II division 1 treated with extraction of premolars analyzing its long-term stability.

The aim of an orthodontic treatment is the achievement of a balanced, esthetic and, most of all, stable, intra and inter arches relationship. A common problem observed in occlusion is posterior crossbite and atresic maxilla. This problem may be treated by slow expansion, rapid expansion or surgically assisted expansion. For the present study cast models of 14 children between 7 and 11 years old were evaluated. There were 7 male and 7 female subjects that presented posterior crossbite and needed rapid maxillary expansion. The Hyrax appliance performed the therapy for correction of this transversal alteration, which is a common possibility in the treatment of this malocclusion. It was observed that the distance between the upper first molars and upper cuspids increased significantly; the length of the upper arch decreased and its perimeter increased significantly. At the lower arch there were no dimensional changes.

Introduction: The Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) is a benign odontogenic tumor with an infiltrative and potentially aggressive behavior with high recurrence rates. The KCOT occurs more often in men than women, with a frequency of 2:1, being more frequent in the mandible with a predilection for the body and branch. Treatment of KCOT remains controversial. Treatment usually includes enucleation, marsupialization, peripheral ostectomy, curettage associated with Carnoy solution and resection. Objective: To report a case of a KCOT located in the mandible. Case report: male patient, 15 years, with a KCOT on the right side of the mandible treated by enucleation and peripheral ostectomy, with four years of preservation, with no signs of recurrence. Final Comments: The treatment by enucleation associated with peripheral ostectomy reduces the relapse rate, preserves anatomical structures and can avoid a second surgical procedure for reconstruction of bone defects generated in surgery en bloc resection.

The sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a surgical technique used widely to treat many congenital and acquired mandibular discrepancies. Stabilization of the osteotomy site and the potential for skeletal relapse after the procedure are still major problems. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical stability of six methods of rigid fixation in SSRO using a biomechanical test model. Sixty polyurethane replicas of human hemimandibles were divided into six groups. In group I, the osteotomies were fixed with two four-hole titanium miniplates; in group II, with one four-hole miniplate; in group III, with one four-hole miniplate + a bicortical screw; in group IV, with a grid miniplate; in group V, with a four-hole locking miniplate; and in group VI, with a six-hole miniplate. A linear load in the premolar region was applied to the hemimandibles. The resistance forces (N) needed to displace the distal segment by 1, 3, and 5 mm were recorded and the data transmitted from the load cell to a computer. One-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc test was performed to compare the means between groups. For the three displacement conditions, there was a strong tendency for the 2.0-mm plate + screw and the grid plate to have higher values.
