Avaliação da percepção visual de bráquetes ortodônticos na distância de uma selfie em pacientes com a cor dos dentes A1

INTRODUÇÃO: O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a percepção visual de bráquetes ortodônticos na distância de uma selfie. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Um sujeito com sorriso agradável, dentes hígidos e de cor A1 foi selecionado para a simulação de montagem dos aparelhos metálico, cerâmico translúcido e cerâmico não translúcido. Após montagem foi feita a capturação das imagens digitais com distância de 50 cm e avaliados a percepção visual por meio da escala visual analógica (VAS).  RESULTADOS: A percepção visual dos aparelhos variou de maneira significativa entre os três grupos de bráquetes avaliados: metálicos (9,09 VAS), cerâmico translúcido (3,64 VAS) e cerâmico não translúcido (1,99 VAS), sem diferença estatística (p<0,05) entre os translúcidos e não translúcidos. CONCLUSÃO: Na distância de uma selfie, pacientes com cor de dente A1, tanto os bráquetes translúcidos como os não translúcidos são pouco perceptíveis visualmente

Applications of platelet- and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Introduction: Oral and maxillofacial surgery plays a crucial role in the reconstruction and restoration of facial structures, seeking to improve both aesthetics and function. The use of platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) represents a notable advance, accelerating healing and improving surgical outcomes. Materials and Methods: This review covers 710 studies from various electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct and Google Scholar). The aim is to thoroughly investigate the applications of platelet- and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology. Results: The analysis reveals that L-PRF stands out as an effective autologous therapy in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Its application shows remarkable potential for accelerating the healing process, contributing significantly to the effectiveness of procedures. Discussion: L-PRF has emerged as an excellent choice in oral and maxillofacial surgery and traumatology, improving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of facial reconstructions. This highlights the relevance of this autologous therapy and its benefits in surgical practice. Conclusion: The applications of platelet and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology are fundamental and promising. This advance represents not only a means of accelerating healing, but also a significant contribution to better aesthetic and functional results in surgical procedures in this area.Introduction: Oral and maxillofacial surgery plays a crucial role in the reconstruction and restoration of facial structures, seeking to improve both aesthetics and function.
