Pulpectomias em dentes decíduos realizadas por estudantes de Odontologia : estudo prospectivo

Este estudo prospectivo com base universitária buscou avaliar as taxas de sucesso clínico e radiográfico e fatores associados às falhas presentes em pulpectomias realizadas em dentes decíduos, por alunos de graduação de uma instituição de ensino. A amostra de conveniência foi composta por pacientes com idade entre 3 e 10 anos que buscaram atendimento na instituição e necessitavam de tratamento endodôntico. Os dados referentes ao tratamento como, por exemplo, tipo de dente envolvido (anterior ou posterior), condição clinica do dente, diagnóstico pulpar, utilização de EDTA após o preparo químico-mecânico, uso de medicação intra-canal, técnica utilizada para obturação do canal, qualidade da obturação realizada, tipo de material restaurador elegido (RC, CIVRM), número de avaliações e o tempo de consulta clínica foram coletados por um único avaliador em um prontuário específico para o procedimento endodôntico. Ainda, fatores potencialmente associados à falha do tratamento endodôntico também foram investigados incluindo sexo (feminino ou masculino), idade, Índice de Placa Visível (IPV) e Índice de Sangramento Gengival (ISG), número de dentes cariados, perdidos ou obturados (CPOD) e ainda o comportamento da criança durante o atendimento. Curva de sobrevida de Kaplan-Meier com teste de log-rank foi utilizada para analisar a longevidade das pulpectomias (p20%) experienced more failures in their pulpectomies (p=0.006). There were no significant differences for the others individual and clinical parameters tested. The pulpectomies of primary teeth performed by undergraduate students presented low success rates

Association between History of breastfeeding and reports of oral habits and allergy in children

Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como propósito verificar a associação entre o tipo e o tempo de amamentação fornecida ao bebê com a presença de hábitos de respiração bucal, bruxismo, mordida aberta anterior e presença de processos respiratórios alérgicos. Materiais e métodos: Foram analisados todos os prontuários clínicos de crianças entre 0 a 12 anos de idade atendidos nos ambulatórios odontológicos do Centro Universitário Franciscano (UNIFRA), no período de 2005 a 2010. De um total de 507 prontuários, foram incluídos no estudo prontuários de 390 crianças. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram haver associação entre o tipo de amamentação com a presença de respiração bucal, bruxismo e mordida aberta anterior (pAim: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between type and duration of breastfeeding with the presence of mouth breathing habits, bruxism, anterior open bite and presence of respiratory allergic conditions. Materials and Methods: It was analyzed all dental records of children aging between 0 and 12 years old who were attended by dental students Franciscan University Center (UNIFRA) since 2005 to 2010. Of a total of 507 dental records, 395 were included in the study. Results: The results showed an association between breastfeeding the presence of mouth breathing, bruxism and anterior open bite (

Survival and Factors Associated with Failure of Pulpectomies Performed in Primary Teeth by Dental Students

Abstract Although endodontic treatment is widely recommended for compromised dental pulp, there is no information regarding the factors associated with failures in primary teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and factors associated with failure of pulpectomies performed in primary teeth by dental students. The sample comprised patients treated at a University Dental Service and required endodontic treatment in primary teeth. The study investigated treatment-related variables and patient factors potentially associated with treatment failure. Pulpectomy survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier estimator followed by log-rank test (p<0.05). The analysis included 81 pulpectomies performed in 62 children (5.6±1.5 years). The survival reached 62.9% up to 12 months follow-up. Most failures occurred in the first 3 months (p<0.001). Teeth with carious lesions at the start of treatment presented more failures than those with restorations or history of trauma (p=0.002). The survival of endodontically treated teeth restored with composite was higher than the ones filled with GIC (p=0.006). Pulpectomy performed in two or more sessions resulted in more failures (p=0.028). Patients presenting gingivitis had more failures in the endodontic treatment (p=0.022). The failures of root canal treatment in primary teeth were more prone to occur in a short time and when the treatment was performed in teeth presenting carious lesions. The use of composite instead of GIC increased the survival of pulpectomies. Repeated sessions for endodontic treatment and lack of oral hygiene habits had a negative effect on the results
