ANĂLISE DESCRITIVA DOS SINAIS E SINTOMAS QUE RELACIONAM SĂNDROME DE EAGLE E DTM: um estudo retrospectivo
A correlação entre a disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) e a sĂndrome de Eagle ainda nĂŁo estĂĄ bem estabelecida. A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo correlacionar a sĂndrome de Eagle e disfunçÔes temporomandibulares alĂ©m de identifcar a prevalĂȘncia de alteraçÔes morfolĂłgicas do processo estilĂłide em pacientes com DTM. AtravĂ©s de radiografas panorĂąmicas convencionais de 234 pacientes de ambos os gĂȘneros, que receberam tratamento em um consultĂłrio particular em SĂŁo LuĂs â MA, foram identifcados pacientes portadores da sĂndrome do processo estiloide.  Posteriormente, foram avaliados sinais e sintomas mais frequentes, mĂșsculos afetados, idade, gĂȘnero, fatores agravantes, fatores atenuantes, hĂĄbitos parafuncionais, traumas sofridos, Ăndice de disfunção temporomandibular, diagnĂłstico e terapia utilizada.  A prevalĂȘncia foi de 196 pacientes (83,7%) que nĂŁo apresentaram calcifcação do ligamento estilohiĂłideo e 16,3% (38) que apresentaram. Dos 38 pacientes apenas 9 (26%) tinham se submetido ao tratamento de DTM por serem sintomĂĄticos, 8 (89%) eram do gĂȘnero feminino e 1 (11%) do masculino. As principais queixas nos achados clĂnicos dos pacientes com SĂndrome de Eagle foram similares aos sinais e sintomas encontrados em pacientes com DTMs e os mĂșsculos cervicais e da mastigação estavam comprometidos. Conclui-se que quando a calcifcação do processo estiloide estava associada a sintomatologia, esta apresentava similaridade aos sintomas relatados na DTM.Descritores: DiagnĂłstico; Radiografa PanorĂąmica; Articulação Temporomandibular.Abstract: The association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and Eagle syndrome is not well established. The aim of this study was to correlate Eagle syndrome and Temporomandibular Disorder by signs, symptoms, and differential diagnosis and investigate panoramic radiographs as subsides for diagnosis of that syndrome and its relationship to TMD, as well as the prevalence of morphological alterations of the styloid process in patients with TMD. Conventional panoramic radiographs of 234 patients of both sexes who received treatment in a private practice in SĂŁo LuĂs-MA were examined. There were evaluated most frequent signs and symptoms, affected muscles, age, gender, aggravating factors, attenuating factors, parafunctional habits, traumas, temporomandibular disorder index, diagnosis and therapy. The prevalence was 83.7% (196) patients who did not showed calcifcation of the stylohyoid ligament against 16.3% (38) who have showed. From 38 only 9 (26%) patients symptomatic were treated for TMD, 8 (89%) were female and 1 (11%) male. The main complaints of clinical fndings of patients with Eagle syndrome were similar to signs and symptoms found in patients with TMD and cervical and mastication muscles were impaired. It can concluded that when the ossifcation of stylohyoid process was associated to the sintomatology it has showed similarity to the symptoms of TMD. Descriptors: Descriptors: Diagnosis; Panoramic Radiography; Temporomandibular Joint
PROFUNDIDADE DO SULCO GENGIVAL NAS DENTIĂĂES DECĂDUA, MISTA E PERMANENTE / GENGIVAL SULCUS DEPTH ON THE DECIDUOUS, MIXED AND PERMANENT DENTITIONS
Introdução: O sulco gengival tem um importante papel no desenvolvimento da Doença Periodontal (DP) devido a ocorrĂȘncia de depĂłsito de biofilme bacteriano. Objetivo: Avaliar a variação da profundidade do sulco gengival (PSG) nas dentiçÔes decĂdua, mista e permanente em crianças e adolescentes. na faixa etĂĄria de3 a17 anos em SĂŁo LuĂs (MA). MĂ©todos: Estudo realizado com crianças entre 3 e 17 anos de idade que nĂŁo possuĂam doenças sistĂȘmicas e presença de saĂșde bucal. OPSG foi medido a partir da margem gengival Ă extensĂŁo mais apicalda sonda. A medida foi coletada em 3 sĂtios na face vestibular, de todos os dentes, utilizando-se umas onda periodontal nÂș PCPUNC 156. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que o PSG nos dentes decĂduos superiores variaram de1,1mm a1,7mm,enos dentes decĂduos inferiores variaram de1,04mm a1, 28mm. Nos dentes permanentes superiores, os valores mĂ©dios da PSG variaram de1,34mm a1,90mm.Nosdentes permanentes inferiores, estes valores variaram de1,40mm a1,91. OPSG foi ligeiramente maior na maxila que na mandĂbula tanto nos dentes decĂduos quanto nos permanentes. ConclusĂŁo: Este estudo concluiu que a profundidade do sulco gengival foi maior na face vestibular dos dentes decĂduos e permanentes superiores; houve um aumento na mĂ©dia da profundidade do sulco gengival nos dentes decĂduos com o aumento da idade e diminuição da profundidade do sulco gengival nos dentes permanentes com o aumento da idade.Palavras-chave: Anatomia. Gengiva. Dentição Mista.AbstractIntroduction: Gingival sulcus plays an important role on the development of periodontal disease due to occurrence of deposit of bacterial biofilm. Objective: To evaluate the variation of Gingival Sulcus Depth (GSD) on deciduous, mixed and permanent dentitions in children and teenagers between 3 to 17 years of age in SĂŁo LuĂs (MA). Methods: The requirements to participate in the study were to have no systemic diseases, and the presence of gingival health. The GSD was measured from the gingival margin to the most apical extension of the probe. The measurements were collected from three buccal sites of all teeth, using a periodontal probe PCPUNC 156. Results: the results showed that GSD on the maxillary deciduous teeth varied from 1.10 mm to 1.7mm and on the deciduous mandibular teeth varied from 1.04mm to 1.28mm. On the permanent maxillary teeth, the mean values of GSD ranged from 1.34mm to 1.90mm. Concerning the permanent mandibular teeth, these values ranged from 1.40mm to 1.91 mm. The GSD was slightly greater in maxillary than in the mandibular on deciduous and permanent teeth. Conclusion: The depth of the gingival sulcus was deeper on the buccal surfaces of the deciduous maxillary and permanent teeth. There was an increase in the mean depth of the gingival sulcus on the deciduous teeth with the increase of age. Otherwise, there was decrease of the depth of the gingival sulcus on permanent teeth with increase of age.Keywords: Anatomy. Gingiva. Dentition. Mixed
IMPORTĂNCIA DA TERAPIA DE SUPORTE PARA A SAĂDE PERIODONTAL
O tratamento periodontal estĂĄ baseado na remoção do biofilme bacteriano, que Ă© o fator primĂĄrio para as doenças periodontais. Procedimentos como instrução de higiene bucal, eliminação de fatores retentivos de placa, raspagem supra e subgengival, alisamento radicular e polimento coronĂĄrio sĂŁo fundamentais para a obtenção da saĂșde periodontal. Dentro desse contexto, a colaboração do paciente no controle do bioflme bacteriano Ă© de fundamental importĂąncia. Sem a manutenção periodontal, torna-se impossĂvel manter os benefĂcios alcançados pela terapia periodontal ativa. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisĂŁo da literatura sobre o papel da terapia periodontal de suporte para controle e longevidade da saĂșde periodontal. Concluiu-se que terapia periodontal de suporte Ă© um fator crucial para reavaliar a saĂșde do periodonto apĂłs tratamento ativo, traçar o perfl dos pacientes colaboradores, identifcar os fatores difcultosos e estabelecer as condutas para obtenção da cooperação consciente.Descritores: Doenças periodontais. Tratamento. Manutenção.AbstractPeriodontal treatment is based on the removal of bioflm, which is the primary factor for periodontal diseases. Procedures as oral hygiene instruction, supragingival and subgingival scaling, elimination of plaque retentive factors, root planing and polishing are important for periodontal health. From this context, the patientâs compliance in the control of bacterial bioflms is relevant. Without periodontal maintenance, it makes impossible to maintain the benefts achieved by active periodontal therapy. Thus, the aim of this study was to review the literature on the role of supportive periodontal therapy to the control and longevity of periodontal health. It was concluded that supportive periodontal therapy is a crucial factor to evaluate periodontal health after active treatment, fnd out the compliant patients profle, identify diffcult factors and establish the approach to reach compliance.Descriptors: Periodontal diseases.

The risk of COVID-19 death is much greater and age dependent with type I IFN autoantibodies
International audienceSignificance There is growing evidence that preexisting autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs) are strong determinants of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia. It is important to estimate their quantitative impact on COVID-19 mortality upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, by age and sex, as both the prevalence of these autoantibodies and the risk of COVID-19 death increase with age and are higher in men. Using an unvaccinated sample of 1,261 deceased patients and 34,159 individuals from the general population, we found that autoantibodies against type I IFNs strongly increased the SARS-CoV-2 infection fatality rate at all ages, in both men and women. Autoantibodies against type I IFNs are strong and common predictors of life-threatening COVID-19. Testing for these autoantibodies should be considered in the general population
