Influência do formato do rebordo alveolar na distribuição interna das tensões em prótese parcial removível dento-implantossuportada

Os dados sobre a influência da forma do rebordo alveolar na distribuição interna das tensões na associação da prótese parcial removível de extremidade livre (PPREL) com os implantes osseointegrados são inconclusivos. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar através do método dos elementos finitos (MEF) bi-dimensional, a influência do formato do rebordo alveolar na distribuição interna das tensões. Para isso, foram confeccionados 12 (doze) modelos no programa AutoCAD 2005 (Autodesk Inc, USA), sendo: Modelo A (MA) - hemiarcada com a representação do dente natural 33 e o rebordo edentado para distal; Modelo B (MB) - semelhante ao MA com uma PPREL convencional substituindo os dentes ausentes 34, 35, 36 e 37; Modelo C (MC) - semelhante ao MB, porém com um implante do Sistema Bränemark (3,75 x 10,0 mm) posicionado na região retromolar, sob a base da prótese, conferindo apenas suporte; Modelos A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3 e C4 foram baseados nos respectivos modelos: A, B e C, com a identificação numérica seguindo a forma do rebordo alveolar no plano sagital, como descrito: descendente distal (1), côncavo (2), plano (3) e ascendente distal (4). Os modelos foram exportados para o programa de elementos finitos ANSYS 8.0 (Swanson Analysis Systems, Houston, Pa) para a análise numérica. O carregamento foi realizado com forças verticais de 50 N. Os resultados mostraram que máxima tendência ao deslocamento para os rebordos analisados ocorreu de forma semelhante entre os modelos B e C, sendo: descendente distal (B1 - 0,2484 mm e C1- 0,2513 mm), plano (B3 - 0,2415 mm e C3 0,2452 mm), côncavo (B2 - 0,2377 mm e C2 0,2392 mm) e ascendente distal (B4 - 0,2255 mm e C4 - 0,2293 mm); a máxima concentração de tensão nos modelos B apresentou a seguinte ordem: descendente distal (288,77 MPa), côncavo (199,99 Mpa), plano (197,11 MPa) e ascendente distal (185,22 MPa)... .The data about the influence of the alveolar ridge shape in the stress distribution during the association of a free-end saddle removable partial denture (FERPD) with an osseointegrated implant are inconclusive. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate, by bidimensional the finite element analysis (FEA), the influence of the alveolar ridge shape in the stress distribution. For this, 12 (twelve) models were created in the program AutoCAD 2005 (Autodesk Inc, USA), representing: model A (MA) - hemiarch containg only the natural tooth 33 and edentulous space for distal; model B (MB) - similar to MA with a conventional FERPD replaying the absent teeth 34, 35, 36 and 37; model C (MC) - similar to MB, however with an implant of the Sistema Bränemark (3,75 x 10,0 mm) positioned in posterior area, in order to support FERPD base; Models A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3 and C4 were based on the respective models: A, B and C, with the numeric identification following the shape in the sagital plane, as described: distal descending (1), concave (2), plan (3) and distal ascendancy (4). The models were exported for the FEA hardware (ANSYS 8.0 Swanson Analysis Systems, Houston, PA) for numeric analysis. The loading were performance with vertical forces of 50 N. The results showed maximum displacement tendency (mm) were between models B and C: distal descending (B1 - 0.2484 mm and C1 - 0.2513 mm), plan (B3 - 0.2415 mm and C3 0.2452 mm), concave (B2 - 0.2377 mm and C2 0.2392 mm) and distal ascendancy (B4 - 0.2255 mm and C4 - 0.2293 mm); the maximum stress concentration for models B were distal descending (288,77 MPa), concave (199,99 MPa), plan (197,11 MPa) and distal ascendancy (185,22 MPa); the model C present an inversion between plan and distal ascending shape: C1 with 395,93 MPa, C2 with 341,49 MPa, C4 with 266,02 MPa and C3 with 219,58 MP...

The influence of the alveolar ridge shape on the stress distribution in a free-end saddle removable partial denture supported by implant

The alveolar ridge shape plays an important role in predicting the demand on the support tooth and alveolar bone in the removable partial denture (RPD) treatment. However, these data are unclear when the RPD is associated with implants. This study evaluated the influence of the alveolar ridge shape on the stress distribution of a free-end saddle RPD partially supported by implant using 2-dimensioanl finite element analysis (FEA). Four mathematical models (M) of a mandibular hemiarch simulating various alveolar ridge shapes (1-distal desceding, 2- concave, 3-horizontal and 4-distal ascending) were built. Tooth 33 was placed as the abutment. Two RPDs, one supported by tooth and fibromucosa (MB) and other one supported by tooth and implant (MC) were simulated. MA was the control (no RPD). The load (50N) were applied simultaneously on each cusp. Appropriate boundary conditions were assigned on the border of alveolar bone. Ansys 10.0 software was used to calculate the stress fields and the von Mises equivalent stress criteria (σvM) was applied to analyze the results. The distal ascending shape showed the highest σvM for cortical and medullar bone. The alveolar ridge shape had little effect on changing the σvM based on the same prosthesis, mainly around the abutment tooth.A forma do rebordo alveolar representa um fator importante na previsão da demanda do suporte dentário e do osso alveolar em tratamentos com prótese parcial removível (PPR). Contudo, os dados não são claros quando uma PPR está associada com implantes. Este estudo avaliou a influência da forma sagital do rebordo alveolar na distribuição das tensões de uma PPR de extremidade livre parcialmente suportada por implante usando a aná- lise de elementos finitos (AEF) bidimensional. Foram elaborados quatro modelos (M) matemáticos de um hemiarco mandibular simulando várias formas do rebordo alveolar (1-descendente distal, 2-côncavo, 3-horizontal e 4-ascendente distal). O dente 33 foi considerado como pilar. Duas PPRs, uma suportada por dente e fibromucosa (MB) e outra suportada por dente e implante (MC) foram simuladas. MA foi o modelo controle (sem PPR). Uma carga (50N) foi aplicada simultaneamente em cada cúspide. Condições de contorno adequadas foram assumidas nas margens do osso alveolar. O software Ansys 10.0 foi usado para a análise das tensões segundo o critério das tensões equivalents de von Mises (σvM) para a análise dos resultados. A forma ascendente distal mostrou a maior σvM para osso cortical e medular. A forma do rebordo alveolar teve pouco efeito na alteração da σvM considerando o mesmo tipo de prótese, principalmente em torno do dente pilar

Mechanics of the maxillary central incisor. Influence of the periodontal ligament represented by beam elements

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of loading on a maxillary central incisor with the periodontal ligament (PDL) represented by 2D elastic beam elements using a 2D finite element analysis. Two models (M) were built varying the PDL representation: Mh (homogeneous PDL) and Mht (heterogeneous PDL with beam3 elements). Stress and displacements were determined for three loading conditions (L): Ll, lingual face loading at 45 degrees with the tooth long axis; Li, perpendicular to the incisal edge; and Lip, on the incisal edge, parallel to the tooth long axis. Evaluation was performed on ANSYS software. Lip provided lower stress variation on the tooth and support structures when compared to Ll and Li. PDL's influence on stress values was lower for Lip. Oblique loading showed stress and displacement not observed in parallel loading condition through PDL's heterogeneous representation and it is probably incompatible with the in vivo condition.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP

Resistant Hypertension On Treatment (ResHypOT): sequential nephron blockade compared to dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plus bisoprolol in the treatment of resistant arterial hypertension – study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Resistant hypertension is characterized when the blood pressure (BP) remains above the recommended goal after taking three antihypertensive drugs with synergistic actions at their maximum recommended tolerated doses, preferably including a diuretic. Identifying the contribution of intravascular volume and serum renin in maintaining BP levels could help tailor more effective hypertension treatment, whether acting on the control of intravascular volume or sodium balance, or acting on the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) on the kidney. Methods/design This is a randomized, open-label, clinical trial is designed to compare sequential nephron blockade and its contribution to the intravascular volume component with dual blockade of the RAAS plus bisoprolol and the importance of serum renin in maintaining BP levels. The trial has two arms: sequential nephron blockade versus dual blockade of the RAAS (with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor plus a beta-blocker) both added-on to a thiazide diuretic, a calcium-channel blocker and an angiotensin receptor-1 blocker (ARB). Sequential nephron blockade consists in a progressive increase in sodium depletion using a thiazide diuretic, an aldosterone-receptor blocker, furosemide and, finally, amiloride. On the other hand, the dual blockade of the RAAS consists of the progressive addition of an ACE inhibitor until the maximum dose and then the administration of a beta-blocker until the maximum dose. The primary outcomes will be reductions in the systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean BP and pulse pressure (PP) after 20 weeks of treatment. The secondary outcomes will evaluate treatment safety and tolerability, biochemical changes, evaluation of renal function and recognition of hypotension (ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)). The sample size was calculated assuming an alpha error of 5% to reject the null hypothesis with a statistical power of 80% giving a total of 40 individuals per group. Discussion In recent years, the cost of resistant hypertension (RH) treatment has increased. Thus, identifying the contribution of intravascular volume and serum renin in maintaining BP levels could help tailor more effective hypertension treatment, whether by acting on the control of intravascular volume or sodium balance, or by acting on the effects of the RAAS on the kidney.
