O sucesso dos implantes osseointegrados é comprovado cientificamente e com isso, veio outras preocupações como a de se solucionar esteticamente e funcionalmente o tratamento restaurador, tendo como escolha na maioria das vezes a confecção de coroas metalocerâmicas ou metaloplásticas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a resistência à fratura por compressão axial e avaliar o tipo de fratura de 30 coroas unitárias sobre implante do primeiro pré-molar superior, confeccionadas com diferentes infraestruturas metálicas (infra-estruturas enceradas e fundidas em níquel-cromo sobre pilares UCLA calcináveis e infra-estruturas representadas por pilares UCLA provisórios pré-fabricados em titânio), ambos restaurados com resina composta laboratorial, sendo que, as restaurações totais em resina compostas laboratoriais confeccionadas sobre o pilar UCLA pré-fabricado em titânio foram reforçadas internamente com fibras de vidro. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as médias tanto de resistência à fratura quanto da deformação máxima de rompimento entre os grupos (p= 0.5812 e p= 0.1743 respectivamente). As fraturas apresentadas pelos espécimes com infra-estruturas fundidas em níquel-cromo com e sem retenção apresentaram em sua totalidade fraturas parciais adesivas enquanto que no grupo com infra-estruturas com fibras-de-vidro o tipo de fratura foi a parcial coesiva. A resina composta laboratorial suporta forças acima das encontradas na mastigação indiferente do tipo de reforço utilizado, podendo ser indicada para confecção de próteses unitárias sobre implante.

Para medir possíveis influências da mastigação e do estilo de vida sedentário em modelo murino senil, impusemos um de três regimes de dieta aos diferentes grupos experimentais do 21º dia pós-natal até 6 ou 18 meses de vida: dieta sólida tipo pellet; dieta em pellet seguida por uma em pó, farelada; ou dieta peletizada seguida de pó e novamente pellet, com intervalos de tempo iguais em cada dieta. Para mimetizar o estilo de vida sedentário ou ativo, os animais foram criados, respectivamente, em gaiolas-padrão (ambiente empobrecido-AP) ou em gaiolas enriquecidas (ambiente enriquecido-AE). Para medir os efeitos da dieta, do ambiente e da idade sobre a atividade exploratória, realizamos o teste do campo aberto, onde camundongos jovens de AP que sofreram alteração da atividade mastigatória demonstraram maior preferência pela zona periférica, mas no envelhecimento e no AE essas diferenças foram minimizadas. Nos velhos de AE, essas diferenças reapareceram. Já sobre as influências na aprendizagem e memória espacial, aplicamos o labirinto aquático de Morris e vimos que a redução da atividade mastigatória, independente do ambiente, diminuiu a taxa média de aprendizado espacial e sua reabilitação recuperou as perdas associadas em animais jovens e, quando combinada ao AE, melhorou a taxa de aprendizado em velhos. Não se encontrou correlação entre taxa de aprendizado e velocidade de nado dos camundongos sugerindo que os déficits são de natureza cognitiva. Concluímos assim, que a alteração da atividade mastigatória influencia o padrão de exploração por zonas no campo aberto e a estimulação ambiental acentua os seus efeitos no envelhecimento, privilegiando a preferência pela zona periférica e a redução da atividade mastigatória prejudica a memória espacial durante o teste do labirinto aquático de Morris e a sua reabilitação é capaz de recuperar as habilidades espaciais, mas em idosos é necessária a combinação com um AE.

Although one cannot prevent the birth of human beings with cleft palate lesions one can adopt attitudes and various procedures entirely viable to rehabilitate and recuperate these persons through a team work composed of the facilities of a hospital, physician, dentist, psychotherapist, epeech pathologist, pedagogue and a social worker. In order to reduce the suffering of these patients we took up this work to prove that even if not in an ideal manner nevertheleses in an acceptable one we can reintegrate these persons to their families, friends and social milieu, offering them more security in their social, psychic and human relationships. We have made a review of the literature during the last three decades where we found many possibilities of prosthetic recuperations which concerns esthetics, mastication and maxillomandibular relationships beyond allowing these pacients conditions to perform satisfactory the functions of deglution and speech. We have selected and executed 5 clinical cases out of 15 pacients formely choosen looking to different prosthetic plannings. We have also shown the major contribution that the osseous integrated implants can offer to the rehabilitation and recuperation of pacients whith congenitall labio palatal lesions. To simplify the understanding we tried to discuss the most varied types of prosthesis in well defined subjects having a separate approach for each of them and we still showed that the specificity of each case leads to a specific type of rehabilitation founded om esthetics, occlusion, osseous suport, edentulous space, and above all based in the common sense and Professional integrity

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare recessive disorder characterized mainly by myotonia. As the clinical signs and symptoms are manifested in the oromaxillofacial region, paediatric dentists may be first choice of parents that seek information and assistance to their children. A female patient diagnosed with SJS was brought to our clinic for dental treatment with main complain of difficulty on oral hygiene and mastication due to tooth crowding. The treatment included preventive measures, extraction of a supernumerary tooth and the maxillary primary second molars. Furthermore, the patient was referred to orthodontic treatment for correction of tooth crowding. When dealing with children with confirmed diagnosis of SSJ, paediatric dentists should be understand the need of planning the dental treatment considering the characteristics and possible complications associated with the syndrome in order to reduce the risks to patients, especially when surgical procedures are necessary.

Case Report. An 8-year-old girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) reported unsatisfactory aesthetics, difficulty in mastication, and dental hypersensitivity. The intraoral examination observed mixed dentition, malocclusion in anteroposterior relationships, anterior open bite, and dental asymmetry. A hypoplastic form of AI was diagnosed in the permanent dentition. A multidisciplinary planning was performed and divided into preventive, orthopedic, and rehabilitation stages. Initially, preventive treatment was implemented, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. In the second stage, the patient received an interceptive orthopedic treatment to improve cross-relationship of the arches during six months. Finally, the rehabilitation treatment was executed to establish the vertical dimension. In the posterior teeth, indirect composite resin crowns were performed with minimally invasive dental preparation. Direct composite resin restorations were used to improve the appearance of anterior teeth. Follow-Up. The follow-up was carried out after 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. After 18 months of follow-up, The restoration of integrity, oral hygiene, and patient satisfaction were observed . Conclusion. Successful reduction of the dental hypersensitivity and improvement of the aesthetic and functional aspects as well as quality of life were observed.

To evaluate the change in masticatory efficiency and quality of life of patients treated with mandibular Kennedy class I removable partial dentures (RPDs) and maxillary complete dentures at the Department of Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. A total of 33 Kennedy class I patients were rehabilitated with maxillary complete dentures, and mandibular RPDs were selected for this non-randomized prospective intervention study. The patients had a mean age of 59.1 years. Masticatory efficiency was evaluated by colorimetric assay using fuchsin capsules. The measurements were conducted at baseline and 2 and 6 months after prosthesis insertion. Quality of life was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) at baseline and 6 months after denture insertion. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was applied. Masticatory efficiency was evaluated by repeated measures ANOVA. Oral health-related quality of life was compared using the paired t test. There was no statistically significant difference in masticatory efficiency after denture insertion (p = 0.101). Significant differences were found (p = 0.010) for oral health-related quality of life. A significant improvement in psychological discomfort (p < 0.01) and psychological disability (p < 0.01) was observed. Mean difference value (95 % confidence interval) was 6.8 (3.8 to 9.7) points, reflecting a low impact of oral health on quality of life, considering the 0-56 range of variation of the OHIP-14 and a Cohen's d of 1.13. According to the results of the present study, rehabilitation with Kennedy class I RPDs and complete dentures did not influence masticatory efficiency but improved oral health-related quality of life. The association between the patient's quality of life and the masticatory efficiency is important for treatment predictability.

Considering the importance of the esthetic and the adequate register of vertical dimension (VD) to the oral rehabilitation, this study had as aims the analysis and comparison of two methods to get VD (Pleasure and Willis), functional space (FE), acquisition and correlation of facial and dental measurements. To do this, rest (RVD) and occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and FE were achieved from the 30 students of the Federal University of Goias College of Dentistry. Following that, dental measurements of height and of the superior central incisors (SCI) and canine distance were registered. A facial analysis was performed to get the intercomissura, interalar, interpupilar, intercantal distance, besides register parameters as coincidence of dental and facial line, type of smile, face and SCI forms, and mastication type. The collected data were tabulated, compared by medias and standard deviations, and submitted to non-parametrical statistical analysis of Kruskal-Wallis and .Mann-Whitney with 5% of probability. The results doesn’t indicated statistical significant difference between FE of the two techniques. The measures of facial analysis are comparable with literature published data’s, but can’t be used as a parameter to the selection of intercanine distance. In 56.7% of the cases, there were coincidences of face and SCI forms, which could be a viable parameter in the selection of acrylic resin artificial tooth.
