Recuperando o guia incisal de um paciente com bruxismo - Relato de caso

O objetivo do presente relato de caso clínico foi descrever a reabilitação estética e funcional dos incisivos anteriores superiores de um paciente com bruxismo. Paciente do gênero masculino, 23 anos de idade, bruxoma, procurou tratamento para os dentes anteriores superiores devido aos diastemas dentários e também por causa dos comprimentos reduzidos dos incisivos centrais superiores. Para isso, foi realizada a gengivoplastia e osteotomia na região dos incisivos centrais superiores com o objetivo de melhorar as posições dos contornos gengivais e aumentar o comprimento desses dentes. Após 90 dias, o clareamento dentário foi realizado. Depois de 1 mês as facetas de resina composta foram confeccionadas nos incisivos centrais superiores. Durante o tratamento as necessidades e perspectivas do paciente foram levadas em consideração para alcançar o sucesso clínico. Após a conclusão dos procedimentos, o resultado fi nal foi satisfatório. Portanto, um plano de tratamento integrado se mostrou de extrema valia, principalmente quando o paciente é devidamente esclarecido das opções disponíveis de tratamento e colabora com o mesmo

To verify if there is a correlation of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with bruxism, depression, anxiety, stress, and sex in odontology students. Four hundred dental students were selected. Students included in the study were those that were healthy

Relationship between self-reported pain, pain threshold, pain catastrophization and quality of life in patients with TMD

The aim of this study was to verify if there is a relationship between self-reported pain, PPT (pressure pain threshold) of the masseter, temporal and sternocleidomastoid muscles, pain catastrophizing and quality of life in patients with TMD (temporomand

Overdenture na reabilitação de paciente desdentado

As overdentures implanto-retidas mucosa-suportadas são eficazes para reabilitação de pacientes edêntulos, sen- do uma alternativa menos invasiva e menos onerosa em comparação as próteses fixas. O presente trabalho obje- tiva mostrar um caso clínico, de uma paciente de 65 anos, gênero feminino, desdentada, que se apresentou com 03 implantes na região anterior de mandíbula. A terapia reabilitadora proposta combinou uma prótese total con- vencional maxilar e um overdenture barra-clip mandibular. Conclui-se que as peças protéticas confeccionadas foram eficazes para alcançar o sucesso clinico esperado pela paciente. A análise e o planejamento de cada etapa clínica de cada caso, é fundamental para obtenção do melhor resultado possível

Comparison between aluminum chloride and tetryzoline hydrochloride for control of vertical gingival displacement and crevicular fluid

Abstract Introduction The use of a gingival displacement cord with a gingival displacement substance is a common procedure for taking a quality impression of the cervical terminal in teeth for prosthetic purposes. Objective To evaluate whether the mechanical-chemical method with 0.05% tetryzoline hydrochloride or 25% aluminum chloride is capable of reducing crevicular fluid, and displacing a statistically significant larger quantity of gingival tissue vertically, compared with the mechanical method (without chemical substances). Material and method Ten patients were selected, and then No. 000 and 1 Ultrapak cords were randomly positioned on teeth 13, 21 and 23. Group I – cord with no chemical substance; Group II – cords impregnated with tetryzoline hydrochloride and Group III – cords impregnated with aluminum chloride. Using dental stone models, thirty images were captured with a camera coupled to a loupe to analyze the degree of gingival displacement. Crevicular fluid was quantified using a high-precision scale and individualized strips of absorbent paper for each tooth on which gingival displacement was performed. Result There was no statistical difference between the three groups relative to the amount of vertical gingival displacement (Anova, p=0.26). As regards reduction in crevicular fluid, there was no difference between the test and control groups (Wilcoxon and Friedman, p < 0.05). Conclusion The use of tetryzoline hydrochloride or aluminum chloride to impregnate the gingival displacement cord did not improve the quantity of vertical gingival displacement and did not reduce the amount of crevicular fluid

In vitro evaluation of the effect of different disinfectants on the biofilm of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus formed on acrylic ocular prostheses.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of disinfectants on the biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis formed on the acrylic surface of ocular prostheses. In this study, 396 acrylic specimens were manufactured (50% for Staphylococcus epidermidis, and 50% for Staphylococcus aureus). For each bacterium, 66 specimens were subjected to biofilm formation on their surfaces for 24 hours, 66 specimens were subjected to biofilm formation on their surfaces for 48 hours, and 66 specimens were subjected to biofilm formation on their surfaces for 72 hours. Then, they were divided into groups according to disinfection method (n = 6): sterile distilled water for 10, 15, 30 min, and 6 hours (control); soap for 30 min (NES30); Opti-Free for 30 min (OPF30) and 6 h (OPF6); Efferdent for 15 min (EFF15); and 0.5%, 2%, and 4% chlorhexidine for 10 min (0.5% CHX10, 2% CHX10, and 4% CHX10). After the treatments, the specimens were vortexed to release the biofilm and the counting of bacterial colonies was performed (CFU/mL). Three-way ANOVA and the Tukey-Kramer HSD test were used (α = 0.05). For Staphylococcus epidermidis, there was no significant difference between NES30, OPF30, and OPF6 with their respective control groups; nor between NES30, OPF30, and OPF6 themselves, regardless of the biofilm development period (P >0.05). For Staphylococcus aureus, there was no significant difference between NES30 and OPF30 with their control group; nor between NES30 and OPF30 themselves, regardless of the biofilm development period (P >0.05). For Staphylococcus aureus, OPF6 showed a significant reduction in the number of CFU/mL when compared with its control group, NES30, and OPF30, regardless of the biofilm development period (P <0.05). For both bacteria, 0.5% CHX10, 2% CHX10,4% CHX10, and EFF15 showed a significant reduction in the number of CFU/mL when compared with their control groups, NES30, OPF30, and OPF6, regardless of the biofilm development period (P <0.05). Therefore, EFF15 and CHX (0.5%, 2% and 4%) were effective in reducing Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus on acrylic surfaces. NES30 and OPF (30 and 6) are not recommended

The use of acupuncture in the behavioral management of people with ASD: A Scoping Review

A scoping review to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture for behavioral management in people with ASD. The search for projects will be carried out in the following databases: Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, CINAHL EBSCO, WPRIM(WESTERN PACIFIC), BBO, LILACS, SCIELO and Open Grey Literature, Google Scholar and Portal Capes. The identified studies (without duplicates) will be imported into the Rayyan software and evaluated/selected based on the previously established eligibility criteria by reading the title and abstract, followed by reading the full text of the references cited by the selected studies. The data from the selected studies will be analyzed and collected by filling in a table. All stages will be carried out by two independent, blinded reviewers and, in the event of disagreement, by a third reviewer
