Cátedra de Cirugía y Traumatología BMF I; Argentina.La extracción dental es una operación delicada que requiere de odontólogos capacitados y entrenados para ejecutarla adecuadamente. El tercer molar inferior es una pieza dentaria que suma dificultades para su exodoncia debido a una serie de particularidades: puede encontrarse con diferentes niveles de erupción y posiciones; presenta el mayor porcentaje de desviaciones linguales o bucales; su atipia radicular es frecuente; se encuentra ubicado en la posición más posterior de la arcada, a veces con carrillos o lenguas que dificultan su visibilidad y maniobras; presenta un hueso reforzado de máxima resistencia y muy poca elasticidad; se encuentra muy cercano a reparos anatómicos de cuidado como el conducto mandibular y la zona de hueso lingual

Integrated Popular Reporting as a Tool for Citizen Involvement in Financial Sustainability Decisions

The more information that is disseminated about the financial impact of government decisions, the more public sector entities are stimulated to make decisions in a transparent manner. Several tools can be used to involve citizens in financial sustainability decisions; among these, popular reporting is receiving growing attention in the public sector. The goal of popular reporting is to engage the interest of average citizens and make it easy for them to understand financial sustainability, by presenting more information than traditional financial reporting, in a concise, comprehensive, and attractive manner. For these reasons, government entities should consider implementing integrated popular reporting. This chapter aims to present a prototype integrated popular report designed to promote citizen participation in financial sustainability decisions. Through a theoretical-deductive methodology, it aims to identify the main features that an integrated popular report should contain to best respond to the information needs of public sector user groups, focusing on citizens in particular

Influence of combined oral contraceptives on the periodontal condition

Most studies investigating the impact of oral contraceptives have been performed some years ago, when the level of sexual hormones was greater than the actual formulations. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of current combined oral contraceptives (COC) on periodontal tissues, correlating the clinical parameters examined with the total duration of continuous oral contraceptive intake. Material and methods: Twenty-five women (19-35 years old) taking combined oral contraceptives for at least 1 year were included in the test group. The control group was composed by 25 patients at the same age range reporting no use of hormone-based contraceptive methods. Clinical parameters investigated included pocket probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), sulcular bleeding index (SBI) and plaque index (Pl.I). Data were statistically evaluated by unpaired t test, Pearson’s correlation test and Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The test group showed increased PD (2.228±0.011 x 2.154±0.012; p<0.0001) and SBI (0.229±0.006 x 0.148±0.005, p<0.0001) than controls. No significant differences between groups were found in CAL (0.435±0.01 x 0.412±0.01; p=0.11). The control group showed greater Pl.I than the test group (0.206±0.007 x 0.303±0.008; p<0.0001). No correlation between the duration of oral contraceptive intake, age and periodontal parameters was observed. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the use of currently available combined oral contraceptives can influence the periodontal conditions of the patients, independently of the level of plaque accumulation or total duration of medication intake, resulting in increased gingival inflammation
