Avaliação clínica e histológica da resposta periodontal a procedimentos restauradores subgengivais em cães com peridontite

Foram avaliadas a resposta periodontal, clínica e histologicamente, a procedimentos restauradores subgengivais com amálgama de prata (Am), cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV) e sítios controle não restaurados (CT), em um período de 120 dias, em 3 cães suscetíveis à doença periodontal. Após 4 meses de uma raspagem e alisamento supragengival, foram realizados retalhos totais seguidos de raspagem e alisamento radicular em pré-molares apresentando perda de inserção e sinais inflamatórios. Cavidades radiculares experimentais foram restauradas com Am ou CIV. Durante os 3 meses do pós-operatório os quadrantes 2 e 3 receberam controle mecânico de placa (c/ct). Previamente às restaurações e ao final do período experimental, foram anotados os índices de placa visível (IPV), sangramento gengival (ISG), sangramento à sondagem (SS), profundidade de sondagem (PS), perda de inserção (PI) e distância da margem gengival à uma marca referência na coroa (DMM). Nove dentes foram restaurados com Am, 11 com CIV, e 10 serviram como controles. Após processamento, em espécimes representativos, foram avaliados histologicamente o grau de inflamação no conjuntivo, integridade e posição do epitélio em relação à face cervical das restaurações e da crista óssea (epit/co), e a altura da crista óssea em relação ao preparo cavitário (cav/co). Todos os locais apresentavam inicialmente 100% de IPV, ISG e SS. Foram restaurados dez dentes com cada material e outros 10 locais foram utilizados como controle (CT). O IPV apresentou-se reduzido nos quadrantes 2 e 3 enquanto que o ISG apresentou reduções também nos locais sem controle de placa (s/ct). A redução no SS ocorreu somente em um cão. A PS apresentou alterações variadas, com as maiores reduções (-0,5mm) associadas ao CIV c/ct e os maiores aumentos com Am s/ct e CT s/ct (1,00mm). Aumentos da PI foram também variados, sendo os menores associados com áreas CT c/ct (1,00mm) e os maiores com Am s/ct. As diferenças entre DMM final e inicial variaram de –1,00mm (Am c/ct e CT c/ct) a 1,50mm (CIV c/ct). Alterações epiteliais foram mais freqüentemente observadas em sitos Am s/ct e c/ct. As médias das distâncias cav/co variaram de 1,77mm (CIV c/ct) a 2,51mm (CIV s/ct). As médias das distâncias epit/co variaram de 1,49mm (CIV c/ct) a 2,09mm (CT c/ct). Quanto ao infiltrado inflamatório, sítios Am s/ct e c/ct , e CIV s/ct estiveram mais associados a escores Severo. Pode-se concluir que quadros clínicos e histológicos de maior inflamação e destruição periodontal foram associados a locais restaurados em relação a locais não restaurados, sendo que a resposta inflamatória parece estar na dependência do controle da placa bacteriana supragengival.

Associação entre eventos de vida, ansiedade e depressão e a doença periodontal

Este foi um estudo de caso controle desenvolvido para avaliar a associação entre eventos de vida, ansiedade e depressão com a doença periodontal avançada. No grupo caso, participaram 96 indivíduos entre 35 e 60 anos, de ambos os sexos e com doença periodontal avançada; no grupo controle, participaram 69 sujeitos da mesma faixa etária, de ambos os sexos e sem histórico de periodontite. Cada participante respondeu um questionário sobre história médica e odontológica, condições socioeconômicas e hábitos comportamentais. Após este momento, passaram por exame clínico realizado por um único examinador calibrado e responderam quatro testes de avaliação psicológica, auxiliados por um estudante de psicologia: Escala de Eventos Vitais, Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck, Inventário de Ansiedade Traço/Estado e Inventário de Depressão de Beck. A média final dos parâmetros clínicos de profundidade de sondagem e nível clínico de inserção foram de 3,44 e 4,01, no grupo caso e de 1,96 e 0,95, no grupo controle. Confirmou-se associação positiva da doença periodontal avançada com a idade, o gênero masculino, o fumo e o grau de escolaridade. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve diferenças significativas nas médias dos eventos de vida, dos sintomas de ansiedade, do traço e estado de ansiedade, bem como dos sintomas de depressão, entre os grupos caso e controle. Quando comparados apenas os indivíduos não-fumantes, as diferenças permaneceram sem significância. Cabe destacar a alta consistência interna das escalas de avaliação, a correlação positivas entre as escalas de ansiedade entre si e a correlação dos sintomas de ansiedade com os de depressão. Pode-se concluir, com a metodologia aplicada, que não houve associação significativa dos fatores psicossociais, avaliados através das escalas psicométricas, com a doença periodontal avançada.

Periodontal diseases in a representative urban population in south Brazil

Background and Aims: There is little information about the epidemiology and risk factors of periodontal diseases in Latin America in general, and Brazil in particular. The principal aims of this study were to: 1) describe the prevalence and severity of periodontal attachment loss and gingival recession, and to assess the contribution of demographic, behavioral, and environmental exposures to the occurrence of periodontal disease outcomes in a sample representative of the urban population in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in south Brazil; and 2) report the epidemiology and risk indicators of aggressive periodontitis in this population. Methods: A representative sample consisting of 1,586 subjects 14-103 years of age (mean 38 y) and comprising 45.3% males and 54.7% females was selected using a multi-stage, probability, cluster sampling strategy. The subjects were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and underwent a full-mouth, six sites per tooth clinical examination in a mobile examination center. Results: Moderate and severe clinical attachment loss and gingival recession were widespread among adults in this population. The prevalence and extent of attachment loss ³5 and ³7 mm were 79% and 52% subjects, and 36% and 16% teeth; and for gingival recession ³3 mm and ³5 mm were 52% and 22% subjects, and 17% and 6% teeth, respectively. Aggressive periodontitis was diagnosed in 5.5% of subjects, which is significantly higher than the reported prevalence in most other populations. Among the main risk indicators for chronic as well as aggressive destructive periodontal diseases were: older age, low socioeconomic status, dental calculus, and smoking. Cigarette smoking accounted for an important part of periodontal disease burden, particularly in adults, and should be considered an important target in any prevention strategy aimed at reducing the burden of periodontal diseases. Partial recording methods consistently underestimated the prevalence of attachment loss in the population, and the extent of underestimation was dependent on the type of system used and the threshold of attachment loss. Conclusions: Destructive periodontal diseases are prevalent in this Brazilian population. Suitable disease prevention and health promotion programs should be established to improve the periodontal health in this population.

Perfil periodontal de pacientes portadores de alterações endócrino-metabólicas

Objective- Convinced that periodontium, many times, can show alterations in human health, the aim of these studies was to investigate the periodontal situation in patients with endocrine-metabolic disorders such as, Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and acromegaly. Methods- Eight patients with Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome, 16 acromegalics, 30 hypothyroids, 30 hyperthyroids, and a control group with 35 patients were evaluated. Clinical attachment loss, probing depth, gingival bleeding index, gingival overgrowth and Index of Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth were measured in each patient. All ethical aspects were rigidly observed, being the study conducted after its approval by the University of Fortaleza Research Ethics Committee. Results- The presence of periodontitis was marked in hyperthyroids and in patients with Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome. Hypothyroids showed not much presence of periodontitis, while all acromegalics presented absence of periodontitis. Conclusions- The protective effect of periodontitis in acromegalic patients is a new finding, whose mechanisms are not yet clear, but may be related to the anabolic effects of growth hormone. The presence of periodontitis in Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome may occur due the early onset of diabetes. In hyperthyroids, the high prevalence of periodontitis could be linked to thyroid hormones effects on bone, explaining also the minor prevalence in hypothyroids

Semisolid systems containing propolis for the treatment of periodontal disease: In vitro release kinetics, syringeability, rheological, textural, and mucoadhesive properties

Formulations containing poloxamer 407 (P407), carbopol 934P (C934P), and propolis extract (PE) were designed for the treatment of periodontal disease. Gelation temperature, in vitro drug release, rheology, hardness, compressibility, adhesiveness, mucoadhesion, and syringeability of formulations were determined. Propolis release from formulations was controlled by the phenomenon of relaxation of polymer chains. Formulations exhibited pseudoplastic flow and low degrees of thixotropy or rheopexy. In most samples, increasing the concentration of C934P content significantly increased storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G ''), and dynamic viscosity (n') at 5 degrees C, G '' exceeded G'. At 25 and 37 degrees C, n' of each formulation depended on the oscillatory frequency. Formulations showed thermoresponsive behavior, existing as a liquid at room temperature and gel at 34-37 degrees C. Increasing the C934P content or temperature significantly increased formulation hardness, compressibility, and adhesiveness. The greatest mucoadhesion was noted in the formulation containing 15% P407 (w/w) and 0.25% C934P (w/w). The work of syringeability values of all formulations were similar and very desirable with regard to ease of administration. The data obtained in these formulations indicate a potentially useful role in the treatment of periodontitis and suggest they are worthy of clinical evaluation. (c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Controle profissional de biofilme dentário como estratégia para manutenção da saúde periodontal de pacientes com aparelho ortodôntico fixo: análise comparativa entre diferentes períodos

The presence of fixed orthodontics appliances interfere on sanitation, allowing periodontal diseases to appear, despite the fact patients keep on visiting the dentist every month. This research aims to determine a protocol for the mechanical control of the dental biofilm performed by the professional. A protocol that was able to maintain the periodontal health of the patients under orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances, and in order to do so, it used a non-controlled, randomized and blind clinical essay. The sample involved 40 adolescents who were under the installation of fixed orthodontics appliances and it was divided in three groups, as follows: monthly controlled group (group 1) composed of 11 patients, the quarterly controlled group (group 2) with 16 patients and the semestrial controlled group (group 3) with 13 patients. For data collection, an interview and clinical exams with probing depth measurement, quantity of keratinized mucosa, Gingival Index and the Plaque Index were used. On the initial exam all patients received brushing guidelines as well as the professional control of dental biofilm, with periodontal scaler, Robinson s brush and prophylactic paste. However, Group 1 returned every month for control procedures; Group 2 every three months and Group 3 after six months. The intervention had a six-month duration (for all the three groups), when all the exams were repeated by another examiner who did not know which group each patient was inserted in. Finally, the research concluded that despite the fact there is no statistically significant difference among the three groups, clinically the patients from the monthly group presented a better response to professional control, with less accumulation of dental biofilm and less rate of gingival inflammation. Thus, the mechanical control of the dental biofilm performed by the professional could not avoid gingival increase, characterized by the raise of probing depth measurement, neither the quantity of keratinized mucosa

Adesão de células mesenquimais da medula óssea de camundongos e do ligamento periodontal de ratos a diferentes superfícies de titânio: estudo comparativo in vitro

The present experiment used cell culture to analyze the adhesion capacity of mouse mesenchymal bone marrow cells and rat periodontal ligament to different titanium surfaces. Grade II ASTM F86 titanium discs 15mm in diameter and 1.5mm thick were used and received 2 distinct surface treatments (polished and cathodic cage plasma nitriding). The cells were isolated from the mouse bone marrow and rat periodontal ligament and cultured in α-MEM basic culture medium containing antibiotics and supplemented with 10% FBS and 5% CO2, for 72 hours at 37ºC in a humidified atmosphere. Subculture cells were cultured in a 24-well plate with a density of 1 x 104 cells per well. The titanium discs were distributed in accordance with the groups, including positive controls without titanium discs. After a 24-hour culture, the cells were counted in a Neubauer chamber. The results show that both the mouse mesenchymal bone marrow cells and rat periodontal ligament cells had better adhesion to the control surface. The number of bone marrow cells adhered to the polished Ti surface was not statistically significant when compared to the same type of cell adhered to the Ti surface treated by cathodic cage plasma nitriding. However a significant difference was found between the control and polished Ti groups. In relation to periodontal ligament cell adhesion, a significant difference was only found between the control and plasma-treated Ti surfaces. When comparing equal surfaces with different cells, no statistically significant difference was observed. We can therefore conclude that titanium is a good material for mesenchymal cell adhesion and that different material surface treatments can influence this process

Doença periodontal e angina pectoris estável: um estudo caso-controle

The search which it aim was to analyze the Periodontal Disease as a risk factor for the development of the Stable Angina Pectoris. For that, 120 patients (52 blokes and 68 wenches ), ages ranging from 40 to 65 years old, and attended to the Hemodinamic´s Sector of the Natal Hospital Center, showing the historic of Angina Pectoris to accomplishment of cinecoronariografhy. Before the accomplishment of this exam, the patients were submitted to interview, to investigate the possible risk factors for the Cardiovascular diseases , and it was followed of clinical periodontal examination to evaluate the presence of Periodontal Disease. After the cinecoronariography, the patients who presented diagnosis of important arterial obstruction (above 70%) were enrolled to the case grup. However the individuals with arteries free of obstruction, or obstrution below 30%, were considered without historic of Cardiovascular disease and therefore enrolled for the control grup. The groups were paired by the variables age and gender. From the analysis of the results, a did not observed statisticment the significant association between the presence of the Periodontal Disease, probing depth, periodontal attachment level, severity and extension index of the Periodontal Disease, besides the visible plaque index (VPI) an gingival bleeding index (GBI) regarding to the existence of Stable Angina Pectoris. Nevertheless , it was identified statisticment the significant association between the sistemic arterial hypertension , seric level of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides, showing all of them, classic risk factors appointed by the literature. Therefore, it was conclued that Periodontal Disease did not represent association with the StableAngina Pectoris at least among the studied population
