Camuflaje ortodóncico de una maloclusión clase III severa con mordida abierta. Análisis retrospectivo del componente periodontal

Señala que en la actualidad un tratamiento ortodóncico es considerado exitoso si consigue adecuadas relaciones dentarias intra e intercada, estética facial y de la sonrisa, y estabilidad post tratamiento; sin embargo, no siempre se alcanza una oclusión ideal pues no se respetan los límites biológicos para cada uno de los componentes. La planificación del tratamiento, por consiguiente, no solo debe estar orientada a qué se quiere hacer u obtener, sino a determinar si es que dichos objetivos pueden ser en realidad alcanzados. Ha sido bastante estudiada la interrelación ortodoncia - periodoncia desde distintos enfoques, por lo que el presente trabajo tuvo por objetivo hacer una revisión acerca de las consideraciones periodontales a tener en cuenta antes, durante y después del tratamiento ortodóncico; y, presentar el tratamiento de un paciente clase III al que se le realizó un tratamiento de camuflaje ortodóncico usando arcos multiloop, desde un enfoque interdisciplinario ortodoncia/periodoncia.Trabajo académic

Research Trends on Preventive and Therapeutic Use of TIF4 for Dental Caries and Erosion

Objective: To evaluate TIF4 preventive and therapeutic use in caries and erosive lesions. Material and Methods: Searches were performed in six databases. Studies evaluating TiF4 use in vitro, in situ, and in vivo in caries and erosive lesions were included and imported into VantagePoint™ (VP). Data about publication year, authors, country, journal, study design, outcomes, TIF4 vehicles, application and intervention time, cariogenic challenge, erosive cycles, effects (positive/ negative /null) and approach (preventive/therapeutic) were analyzed through VP and Excel. Results: 93 published studies were included and an increase in publications was observed between 2010 and 2021. Forty-three authors published three or more articles, of which 67.4% were developed in Brazil and published in Caries Research (22.6%). 69.9% were in vitro studies with erosion assays (59.1%) and with preventive approaches (67.4%). The principal vehicle was a solution (69.9%) with a 1-min single application (58.0%) and with an intervention time of 5-7 days (22.6%). The principal cariogenic challenge in vitro was pH cycling (11.8%); in situ was sucrose + biofilm (6.2%); and in vivo, biofilm (6.2%). The most used erosive cycle was 4× per day in in vitro studies (20.4%) and 1× in vivo (2.1%). A positive effect was observed in prevention (41.9%) and treatment (24.7%) studies. Conclusion: TIF4 has shown a positive effect in prevention and therapeutic treatments for dental caries and erosion

Exploring the Association Between Genetic Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Craniofacial Development and Isolated Tooth Agenesis

Tooth agenesis is a common congenital anomaly in humans and is more common in oral cleft patients than in the general population. Many previous studies suggested that oral cleft and tooth agenesis share a similar genetic background. Therefore, this study explored the association between isolated tooth agenesis and genetic polymorphisms in genes that are crucial for craniofacial and tooth development. Panoramic radiographs, anamnesis, and genomic DNA from 273 patients were included. Patients were classified as tooth agenesis present, when at least one permanent tooth was congenitally missing. Patients with syndromes and oral cleft were excluded. Only unrelated patients were included. The genetic polymorphisms in BMP2 (rs235768 and rs1005464), BMP4 (rs17563), RUNX2 (rs59983488 and rs1200425), and SMAD6 (rs3934908 and rs2119261) were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Genotype and allele distributions were compared between the tooth agenesis phenotypes and controls by Chi-square test. Haplotype and diplotype analysis were also performed, in addition to multivariate analysis (alpha of 0.05). A total of 86 tooth agenesis cases and 187 controls were evaluated. For the rs235768 in BMP2, patients carrying TT genotype have higher chance to present tooth agenesis [p < 0.001; prevalence ratio (PR) = 8.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.26–16.10]. The TT genotype in rs3934908 (SMAD6) was associated with higher chance to present third molar agenesis (p = 0.023; PR = 3.25; 95% CI = 1.17–8.99). BMP2 was also associated in haplotype and diplotype analysis with tooth agenesis. In conclusion, genetic polymorphisms in BMP2 and SMAD6 were associated with isolated tooth agenesis

Effect of low-level laser therapy on stability and displacement of orthodontic mini-implants submitted to loading

O presente estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da Terapia Laser de Baixa Potência (TLBP) na estabilidade e no deslocamento de mini-implantes (MIs) submetidos a carga. A hipótese nula testada foi que a irradiação laser e o tipo de carga aplicada (imediata ou mediata) não influenciam na estabilidade e no deslocamento de MIs. Foram avaliados 48 dispositivos para a estabilidade e 35 para o deslocamento, os quais foram implantados em pacientes da clínica de pós graduação em Ortodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo. Os MIs foram divididos em 4 grupos segundo a intervenção recebida: 1- TLBP + CI (carga imediata), 2- TLBP + CM (carga mediata / após 4 semanas da implantação), 3- CI (sem TLBP) e 4- CM (após 4 semanas da implantação / sem TLBP). Carga de 150 gF foi aplicada por período de 3 meses para todos os dispositivos. A TLBP foi aplicada usando emissão laser vermelha com comprimento de onda de 660 nm e potência de 100 mW, imediatamente após implantação (densidade de energia: 4 J/cm&sup2; ). Nos dias posteriores foram aplicadas emissões laser infravermelhas com comprimento de onda de 808 nm a cada 48 horas durante duas semanas após colocação dos dispositivos (densidade de energia: 8 J/cm&sup2; para cada aplicação). A estabilidade dos dispositivos foi avaliada pela Análise de Freqüência de Ressonância (AFR) em três momentos: T0 no dia da implantação; T1 antes da aplicação da carga, somente nos grupos 2 e 4; e T2 após três meses de aplicação de carga. Para a avaliação do deslocamento dos dispositivos foram utilizadas imagens de Tomografias Computadorizadas de Feixe Cônico (TCFC). Planos tridimensionais foram criados a partir de pontos de referência identificados na maxila e mandibula para medir e comparar as diferenças entre as distâncias inicial (TC0) e final (TC1) da cabeça do MI ao plano tridimensional. Os resultados demonstraram que o grupo 2 apresentou a menor perda de estabilidade de todos os grupos (p= 0.0161). Os dispositivos que receberam TLBP (Grupos 1 e 2) apresentaram menor perda de estabilidade quando comparados aos grupos que não receberam irradiação laser (p= 0.0372). Os MIs que receberam CI (Grupos 1 e 3) apresentaram maior perda de estabilidade quando foi avaliado o tempo efetivo de aplicação da carga (p< 0.0001). Todos os dispositivos apresentaram deslocamento sem diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos. A hipótese nula foi parcialmente rejeitada. Os MIs que receberam TLBP e CM tiveram menor perda de estabilidade. O deslocamento não foi influenciado pela irradiação laser e pelo protocolo de aplicação da cargaThe present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on stability and displacement of mini-implants (MIs) submitted to loading. The null hypothesis tested was that laser irradiation and the applied loading protocol (immediate or mediate) do not influence the stability and displacement of MIs. Forty-eight devices were assessed for stability and 35 for displacement. They were implanted in patients from the graduate clinic of Orthodontics of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo. MIs were divided in four groups according to received intervention: 1- LLLT + IL (immediate loading), 2- LLLT + ML (mediate loading / 4 weeks after implantation), 3- IL (without LLLT) and 4- ML (4 weeks after implantation / without LLLT). Loading of 150 gF was applied during 3 months for all devices. LLLT was implemented using red laser emission with wavelength of 660 nm and potency of 100 mW, immediately after implantation (energy density: 4 J/cm2). In the later days they were applied infrared laser emissions with wavelength of 808 nm every 48 hours during two weeks after placement of devices (energy density: 8 J/cm2 for each application). MIs stability assessment was performed by Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) at three moments: T0 on the day of implantation; T1 before loading, for groups 2 and 4; and, T2 after three months of loading application. For displacement analysis, images from Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans were used. Threedimensional planes were created based on landmarks identified on maxilla and mandible to measure and compare differences of initial (TC0) and final (TC1) distances from the MIs head to the plane. Results demonstrated that group 2 presented the lowest loss of stability of all groups (p= 0.0161). Devices that received LLLT (Groups 1 and 2) showed lower loss of stability when they were compared with the groups that did not receive LLLT (p= 0.0372). MIs that received IL (Groups 1 and 3) presented greater loss of stability when the effective time of loading application was assessed (p< 0.0001). All groups showed displacement of the devices without significant differences between them. The null hypothesis was partially rejected. MIs that received LLLT and ML had lower loss of stability. Displacement was not influenced by laser irradiation or loading protoco
