The protective role of life satisfaction, coping strategies and defense mechanisms on perceived stress due to COVID-19 emergency: A chained mediation model
Authors: Gori Alessio , Topino Eleonora , Di Fabio Annamaria
Published: November 2020

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic represents a worldwide emergency, which may have harmful consequences on people’s mental health. Parallel to research focused on risk factors, it could be useful to investigate the factors that help to cope with such crises at an emotional level. Therefore, this study aimed to strengthen the role of variables that protect from subjective distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, explore the pathways between satisfaction with life and perceived stress, and consider the role of coping strategies and defense mechanisms in this relationship. A sample of 1102 Italian participants who were experiencing the COVID-19 lockdown measures (Mage = 34.91, SD = 11.91) completed an online survey in which the Ten Item Perceived Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory and Forty-Item Defense Style Questionnaire were included. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s r correlations and moderation analysis. A chained-mediation model showed that the relationship between life satisfaction and perceived stress is partially mediated by approach coping, positive attitude and mature defenses. This study contributes toward gaining a better understanding of a protective pathway for mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings could be useful from both a preventive and an intervention perspective.

Published: November 2020

Sprint-interval training (SIT) is efficient at improving maximal aerobic capacity and anaerobic fitness at sea-level and may be a feasible training strategy at altitude. Here, it was evaluated if SIT intensity can be maintained in mild to moderate hypoxia. It was hypothesized that 6 x 30 s Wingate sprint performance with 2 min active rest between sprints can be performed in hypoxic conditions corresponding to ~3,000 m of altitude without reducing mean power output (MPO). In a single-blinded, randomized crossover design, ten highly-trained male endurance athletes with a maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) of 68 ± 5 mL O2× min-1× kg-1completed 6 x 30 s all-out Wingate cycling sprints separated by two-minute active recovery on four separate days in a hypobaric chamber. The ambient pressure within the chamber on each experimental day was 772 mmHg (~0 m), 679 mmHg (~915 m), 585 mmHg (~ 2,150 m), and 522 mmHg (~3,050 m), respectively. MPO was not different at sea-level and up to ~2,150 m (~1% and ~3% non-significant decrements at ~915 and ~2,150 m, respectively), whereas MPO was ~5% lower (P<0.05) at ~3,050 m. Temporal differences between altitudes was not different for peak power output (PPO), despite a main effect of altitude. In conclusion, repeated Wingate exercise can be completed by highly-trained athletes at altitudes up to ~2,150 m without compromising MPO or PPO. In contrast, MPO was compromised in hypobaric hypoxia corresponding to ~3,050 m. Thus, SIT may be an efficient strategy for athletes sojourning to moderate altitude and aiming to maintain training quality.

Is Self-Expression Chic? Globalisation, Value Change and Convergence in Latin America
Authors: De Oliveira De Castro Henrique Carlos , Capistrano Daniel , Ranincheski Sonia , Bisong Tambe Elvis
Published: November 2020

The literature concerning human values change, argues the main factor driving increasing levels of secularization and self-expression is the improvement of material conditions. In fact, studies succeeded to present evidence of the strong relationship between GDP and post-materialist attitudes at the national level. Still, in this study, we demonstrate this relationship is not as strong in Latin America. Based on the theory of mass-elite convergence of values, we argue that the main factor driving value change in Latin America is globalisation and not economic development. With globalisation, attitudes and values hitherto exclusive to the elites became socially desirable and praised (chic) resulting in their massive dissemination. Using data from the World Values Survey, we confirm that variables related to material conditions are the best predictor for secularization and self-expression among Western European countries. However, in Latin America, the effects of economic development are weaker, and the evidence indicates that variables related to social globalisation are more important to explain value change patterns.

La evaluación del efecto de los sistemas agrícolas sobre el ambiente es fundamental para minimizar sus impactos negativos. Este estudio evalúa las pérdidas de agua, sedimentos y herbicidas por escurrimiento en distintas secuencias agrícolas, luego de una precipitación próxima a la pulverización. Fue realizado en parcelas de escurrimiento bajo lluvia natural, en INTA Paraná. Las secuencias de cultivo evaluadas fueron: soja continua (S), soja continua con trigo como cultivo de cobertura (CC-S) y trigo/soja (T/S) bajo siembra directa, las cuales fueron pulverizadas con glifosato y cletodim. Considerando el total de los datos analizados, los porcentajes perdidos en escurrimiento de glifosato y cletodim respecto a lo aplicado oscilaron entre 5,3-13,5% y 2,6-5,9%, respectivamente. Las pérdidas de suelo y AMPA (concentración) fueron mayores para S. Se resalta la importancia de las condiciones meteorológicas posteriores a las pulverizaciones para reducir el riesgo de aportes difusos de agroquímicos hacia cuerpos de agua.

Tratamento da Classe II divisão 1 em paciente hiperdivergente e com retrognatismo mandibular: propulsor mandibular associado a miniparafusos - parte 2
Authors: Villela Henrique Mascarenhas
Published: November 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: A correção da má oclusão de Classe II divisão 1 em pacientes com crescimento hiperdivergente e deficiência mandibular requer uma abordagem diferente dos tratamentos ortodônticos tradicionais, que não apresentam bons resultados. OBJETIVO: O presente artigo apresenta, por meio do relato de um caso clínico, uma sugestão de protocolo para corrigir esse tipo de deformidade dentofacial, associando a contenção do crescimento vertical da maxila com miniparafusos ao estímulo de crescimento da mandíbula com propulsor mandibular. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Foi efetuada a intrusão da maxila de uma paciente que se encontrava no pico de crescimento, utilizando miniparafusos na região anterior, entre incisivos laterais e caninos; na região posterior vestibular, entre primeiros molares e segundo pré-molares; e no palato, entre os primeiros e segundos molares. Essa abordagem gerou uma maior quantidade de intrusão na região anterior da maxila, promovendo uma rotação anti-horária no plano oclusal de 4,5° (PHF.Pl Ocl de 13° para 8,5°). Juntamente com essa mecânica, foi instalado um propulsor mandibular rígido fixado aos arcos do aparelho ortodôntico e posicionado entre os molares superiores. Na mandíbula, o propulsor foi fixado na distal dos primeiros pré-molares e ancorado em miniparafusos posicionados entre os primeiros molares e segundos pré-molares, por vestibular. RESULTADOS: Essa associação promoveu uma redução do plano mandibular em 4° (FMA de 31° para 27°) e no ANB de 6° (de 12° para 6°). As compensações dentárias foram inibidas, com o objetivo de potencia- lizar a correção ortopédica. A inclinação dos incisivos superiores e inferiores teve uma redução de 2° (IMPA de 97° para 95° e 1 .Pp de 108° para 106°). A convexidade facial reduziu 6° (Â Conv. Face de 151° para 157°). CONCLUSÃO: A instalação do propulsor mandibular promoveu uma alteração na face da paciente, que se sentiu estimulada pela melhora imediata do seu perfil. O prognóstico desse tratamento depende da quantidade de intrusão na maxila, associada ao potencial de crescimento da mandíbula.

Authors: Neves Bruno Moreira das , Batista Klaus Barretto dos Santos Lopes
Published: November 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: A má oclusão de Classe II é muito comum, e, para se eleger o momento adequado para intervenção e selecionar o tipo de tratamento, diversos fatores devem ser levados em consideração. OBJETIVO: Relatar um caso de tratamento ortodôntico de uma paciente com 9 anos de idade e má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 2 de Angle, com protrusão maxilar e ausência de espaços para a erupção dos caninos superiores permanentes. RELATO DO CASO: Como a família recusou a cirurgia ortognática e devido ao perfil facial, a opção de tratamento escolhida foi a camuflagem ortodôntica, sendo realizadas extrações dos primeiros pré-molares superiores previamente ao tratamento ortodôntico, para que fossem criados espaços para a erupção dos caninos superiores. RESULTADOS: Ao fim do tratamento, pôde-se observar uma estética facial agradável e boa oclusão, que se manteve estável 10 anos após o tratamento ortodôntico. CONCLUSÃO: Entre as diversas abordagens possíveis, a realização de exodontias de dois primeiros pré-molares superiores e camuflagem ortodôntica é uma alternativa de tratamento viável para a má oclusão de Classe II, demonstrando resultados adequados, melhorando a qualidade de vida, a estética e a função dos pacientes.

Authors: Consolaro Alberto
Published: November 2020

OBJETIVO: Apresentar uma lista de checagem de condutas para se prevenir das reabsorções dentárias no tratamento ortodôntico, visto que elas são previsíveis. RESULTADO: A lista apresentada de 20 fatores preditivos ajuda a contornar, ou controlar, as reabsorções dentárias nos casos clínicos ortodônticos, devendo ser coletada e analisada desde a primeira consulta do paciente, mesmo ainda sem a documentação composta pelos exames complementares. CONCLUSÃO: Nesses casos e situações de plena informação e conhecimento, as reabsorções que vierem a ocorrer representam um custo biológico para se ter oclusão e estética adequadas. Esse risco calculado, com a anuência e esclarecimento do paciente, descaracteriza o que poderia ser rotulado de negligência ou imperícia do ponto de vista do profissional.

Authors: Tinano Mariana Maciel
Published: November 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: A fratura condilar mandibular está entre as fraturas maxilofaciais mais frequentes. Entretanto, o tratamento das fraturas dos côndilos continua sendo uma questão controversa. Os argumentos se concentram no que se refere ao tratamento cirúrgico aberto versus o tratamento conservador fechado. OBJETIVO: O presente artigo relata o caso clínico de uma paciente jovem que apresentava uma má oclusão de Classe I de Angle, com fratura e alteração morfológica do côndilo direito, assimetria óssea e desvio mandibular. RELATO DO CASO: Foi realizado um tratamento interdisciplinar envolvendo avaliação de profissionais da Cirurgia Ortognática, da Desordem Temporomandibular (DTM) e da Ortodontia. Após decisão multiprofissional, um tratamento conservador compensatório com aparelho fixo foi realizado para camuflar a assimetria óssea e o desvio mandibular, permitindo resultados estéticos e funcionais satisfatórios, com proservação da articulação temporomandibular.

Acute liver failure is defined by the manifestation of liver failure from 7th to 21st day in a previously healthy liver. The most frequent causes are viral hepatitis B, A, E, drug or toxin-induced hepatotoxicity (Amanita phalloides), rarely Wilson’s disease, autoimmune hepatitis, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome, or vascular causes (Budd-Chiari syndrome, hypoxic hepatitis). We present a 71-year- -old female patient with metabolic syndrome admitted to hospital with cholestasis, progression of weakness, abdominal pain, and breathlessness. Because of suspected pleuropneumonia, the treatment with ceftriaxone/metronidazole was initiated. Due to cholestasis progression and suspicion of drug-induced liver toxicity, the treatment was stopped on 5th day. Imaging methods (ultrasonography, CT, magnetic resonance imaging) found multiple small liver lesions, suspected metastatic involvement, which was not confirmed by positron emission tomography – computed tomography. Due to the rapid progression of the patient’s condition with the onset of icterus, ascites, encephalopathy, a liver bio­psy was not done. The patient died on the 17th day of hospitalization. The primary tumour was not detected during her life, and not by pathological section. The diffuse metastasis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in the liver was found by histological post mortem examination. The case report suggests high invasiveness of SCLC with a possibility of unusual manifestation in a form of acute hepatic failure.

Authors: Vázquez Ramil Raquel , Porto Ucha Ángel Serafín
Published: November 2020

En estos momentos de intensa inquietud social debido a la incidencia de coronavirus en todo el mundo y, de forma trágica, en España, hacemos una revisión de las principales normas educativas de los últimos treinta años, cada vez más frecuentes al hilo de los cambios políticos, y cada vez también más polémicas, como reflejo de una sociedad sometida a profundas alteraciones. Para dar respuesta a esas demandas, la educación obligatoria no aspira a transmitir solo conocimientos, sino que busca asentar actitudes, desarrollar principios y contribuir a la plenitud de la persona a través de los temas transversales, en ocasiones, o de áreas o materias de carácter globalizador, como Educación para la Ciudadanía o Educación en Valores Cívicos y Éticos. ¿En qué punto estamos? En el umbral de un nuevo cambio legislativo que debe apresurarse para dotar de valores a los ciudadanos y ciudadanas del futuro.

Published: November 2020

Bamboo nanocellulose can be regarded as a promising biomass material for the preparation of sustainable energy devices due to its unique structure, excellent properties, and wide range of sources. A highly conductive electrochemical energy storage was synthesized due to the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and the high surface area of nanocellulose and graphene, which was beneficial for producing a network structure. The symmetric capacitor assembled from the Phyllostachys pubescens nanocellulose/graphene aerogel (CGA) electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 125.5 F/g at 5 mV/s and extreme stability of 98.3% capacitance retention ratio after 5000 cycles at 2 A/g. This nanocellulose-graphene electrode showed potential for future high-performance supercapacitors.

Published: November 2020

The author presents the results of studies of the factors of the participation of the Ukrainian citizens in voluntary associations as the cooperative practice. The hypothesis on the effect of interpersonal faith as an indicator of the social capital has not been confirmed. A partial influence of the ideological and regional distinctions, education, the interest in policy, and the political identification is fixed. However, the greatest and most stable effect on cooperative practices is produced by the active habits of leisure, in particular, the sporting ones.

Published: November 2020

The treatment of isolated calcified lesions involving the popliteal artery are demanding and they often require stent placement to achieve acceptable luminal gain. This study evaluates the safety and performance of the orbital atherectomy system (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with a drug-coated balloon (PTA-DCB) for the treatment of chronic atherosclerotic lesions within the popliteal artery segment. From November 2018 to November 2019, a series of six patients with Rutherford classification stage III peripheral arterial disease with isolated, focal, calcified occlusions of the popliteal artery were treated with orbital atherectomy followed by PTA-DCB. No embolic protection devices were used. The technical success rate was 100%, the primary patency rate was 100% at 7.0 (±4.2) months of follow-up. The Rutherford classification improved in all patients from stage III to stage II and the mean ankle brachial pressure index after the procedure was 0.97 (±0.08), with a preoperative mean ankle brachial pressure index of 0.69 (±0.21). In one instance, spasm was noted in a distal arterial bed and it was successfully treated with local nitroglycerine. No distal embolisation, perforation or aneurysmal degeneration was observed. During follow-up there were no deaths, major amputations or revascularisation of target lesions. The use of orbital atherectomy system in combination with PTA-DCB was found to be safe and effective in modifying focal, chronic, calcified plaques in the popliteal artery segment in these six cases.

PRRS eradication from swine farms in five regions of Hungary
Authors: Szabó István , Bognár Lajos , Molnár Tamás , Nemes Imre , Bálint Ádám
Published: November 2020

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) causes significant losses to the swine industry worldwide, which leads to launching eradication programmes. The PRRS eradication programme in Hungary is based on the territorial principle, and it is obligatory for each swine farm irrespective of the number of animals kept there. Hungary has an exceptionally large herd size in large-scale pig farms. Large fattening farms operate as all-in/all-out or continuous flow systems. The large-scale breeding herds are predominantly farrow-to-finish types. In large-scale breeding farms, PRRS eradication was carried out by the depopulation-repopulation method in 33 farms, of which 23 received state compensation, 18 farm units either finished production or changed to producing fatteners only. Two farms used the test and removal method for eradication. One farm was classified as ‘vaccinated free’. At this farm the breeding animals are vaccinated continuously but there is no vaccination of the progeny at any age, and the PRRS-free status of the farm is strictly controlled and monitored. By 31 December 2019, all pigs in five euroregions of Hungary had become free from PRRS virus, while the PRRS eradication process is still ongoing in the remaining two regions.

Authors:   Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University, Ukraine, Polishchuk I.P.
Published: November 2020

The objective: was to examine the effectiveness of treatment of late miscarriage threat by micronized form of progesterone for 100 mg – 3 times a day in the form of gelatin pills and vaginal tablets with lactose. Patients and methods. Under our supervision there were 70 pregnant women with normocenosis of vagina (NCV) without extragenital pathology, which were not performed systemic or local treatment with antibacterial drugs in the last 4 weeks. Among them 25 pregnant women with TLSM treated by gelatin tablets of micronized progesterone (GTP) (group 1); 25 pregnant women with TLSM, treated by vaginal micronized progesterone tablets (VPT) (2nd group) and 20 healthy women with physiological pregnancy – PV (control group). The distribution of women in the group adhered to the principles of randomization. The age of examined women ranged from 19 to 32 years, most pregnant women were aged under 30 years (89.02%). General clinical examination was carried out according to the standard scheme according to the Order MH of Ukraine № 620. Results. During the research we have determined the colpocytologcal dynamics and state of vaginal microbiota in pregnant women with threatened late miscarriage with initial vaginal normocenosis before and after treatment whit vaginal forms of progesterone. Conclusion. The received results showed low efficiency of micronized progesterone gelatin dragee at threat of the late miscarriage that at small therapeutic effect has led to the development of vaginal dysbiosis in all surveyed. In contrast, the use of micronized progesterone vaginal tablets – the maximally rapid therapeutic effect without disturbance of vaginal normocenosis. Key words: the threat of a late miscarriage, vaginal micronized forms of progesterone.

The objective: defining the role of immunomodulation with the use of exogenous peptides MHP (Camelyn-Bio) on the effectiveness of treatment of cervical dysplasia I-II that was caused by mixed chlamydia and human papillomavirus infection. Patients and methods. In accordance with the objectives of the study we selected and randomized 72 patients with dysplasia (paplomavirus-chlamydial etiology). Women were divided into two groups: basic (n=36) and control (n=36) matched by age, symptoms and duration of the process. The main conventional treatment group received Camelyn-Bio capsules at a dose of 1 capsule (0.19 g) 3 times a day 30 days from starting treatment. Results. The result of the reduction in viral load lower than a clinically significant threshold (3 lg) was achieved in 70% of patients in control group and 77.8% in the main group. Therefore, adequate complex therapy taking into account the role of exogenous peptides reduces the activity of HPV, promotes its elimination, reduces the frequency of relapses. The effectiveness of combined therapy of mild cervical dysplasia with the use of Camelyn-Bio was 88.9%. In the group of patients receiving standard therapy, the efficacy was 83.4%. Conclusion. Now to resolve vital clinical tasks a practitioner has an innovative agent Camelyn-Bio, which, in particular, speeds up the elimination of HPV in women of childbearing age. The inclusion of Camelyn-Bio in the traditional scheme of treatment of cervical dysplasia is justified etiopatogeneticaly and allows to harmonize the immune homeostasis of patients and allows to increase the effectiveness of treatment.

ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses are responsible for the loss of agricultural production in different regions, especially in semiarid regions, which have long periods of drought and high evapotranspiration, leading to the use of saline water as an alternative for the expansion of irrigated areas. In this context, the objective was to evaluate the physiological indices and the growth of the ‘Gigante Amarelo’ passion fruit as a function of the salinity of irrigation water and fertilization with silicon. A randomized block design was used in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, whose treatments consisted of five electrical conductivities of irrigation water - ECw (0.3; 1.0; 1.7, 2.4 and 3.1 dS m-1) associated with two doses of silicion (150 and 300 g of silicon plant-1) with four repetitions. Salt stress causes changes in gas exchange, chlorophyll a and b synthesis and growth of ‘Gigante Amarelo’ passion fruit plants, 60 days after transplanting. Fertilization with silicon dose of 300 g plant-1 promotes increments in CO2 assimilation rate and instantaneous water use efficiency, being able to mitigate the deleterious effects of salinity. Passion fruit plants fertilized with silicon dose of 300 g plant-1 attained greater growth in stem diameter and relative growth rate in stem diameter, from 30 to 60 days after transplanting.

ABSTRACT The use of saline water and wastewater in agriculture has been increasingly considered, and this is due to the increase in awareness about the conservation of natural resources and population growth, implying a greater demand for food. Drip irrigation already has many benefits and, with the splitting of the depths to be applied, results in pulse drip irrigation, which further favors the plant by providing more constant moisture in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the application of wastewater and saline water by pulse drip irrigation on eggplant yield and water use efficiency. The experimental design was randomized blocks in 2 x 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to continuous and pulse drip irrigation and five types of water (municipal, saline (sodium chloride), saline (calcium chloride), wastewater, and a mix of saline (sodium chloride) and wastewater), with five repetitions. Water use efficiency was quantified according to the water applied and the production. Pulse drip irrigation promoted higher marketable fruit yield. The best performance of eggplant was verified when wastewater was applied via pulse drip irrigation. Wastewater via pulse drip irrigation can be used to grow eggplant for higher marketable yield and water use efficiency.

RESUMO: Neste trabalho, analisamos como se constitui a organização sociorretórica das homepages de disciplinas online na perspectiva da análise bidimensional de gêneros (ASKEHAVE; NIELSEN, 2004). Em Crescitelli e Campos (2015), analisamos homepages de disciplinas de curso de graduação a distância com base em Swales (1990), examinando sua organização sociorretórica e levantando passos e movimentos retóricos que as constituíam. Aqui, examinamos as mesmas homepages na perspectiva bidimensional, verificando, nos modos de leitura e navegação, propósitos comunicativos, unidades funcionais (movimentos retóricos e links) e estratégias retóricas empregadas para o alcance deles. No caso dos links, fundamentamo-nos na teoria de sequências textuais de Adam (1992) e examinamos as sequências predominantes na articulação das lexias hipertextuais. Pautamo-nos em estudos de gênero como ação social (MILLER, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c; BAZERMAN, 2006, 2009a, 2009b; SWALES, 1990; BHATIA, 1993); gênero textual digital (MARCUSCHI, 2010; ASKEHAVE; NIELSEN, 2004) e hipertexto (LEMKE, 2002; FINNEMANN, 1999). Trata-se de estudo de caso, com observação e descrição de um fenômeno em contexto específico (MARTINS, 2008; YIN, 2005, 1984; TRIVIÑOS, 1987). Os resultados obtidos demonstram que conhecer a organização sociorretórica do gênero homepage propicia a organização de conteúdo pedagógico mais voltada aos interesses e às necessidades dos usuários, contribuindo para o envolvimento do aluno com o processo educacional.

ABSTRACT Infective Endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the endocardial surface of the heart that is caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses. The high mortality and morbidity rates of IE have encouraged the adoption of preventive strategies. This study investigated the knowledge on the prevention of IE among 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year undergraduate dental students at the Escola Superior São Francisco de Assis (ESFA) and among dentists working in the municipality of Santa Teresa, ES, Brazil. Objective: The rationale for this study was to identify the gaps in their knowledge and raise awareness on the topic. Methods: The study was previously approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The sample consisted of dental students who had completed the Pharmacology for Dentistry course at the ESFA, totaling 35 2nd-year students, 29 3rd-year students, and 36 4th-year students. Thirty dentists registered in the Regional Council of Dentistry of Espírito Santo state, who were working in the municipality of Santa Teresa, ES, Brazil, were also included. All participants were given a questionnaire containing six objective and four subjective questions to assess their knowledge regarding the definition of IE, high-risk patients, dental procedures known to cause bacteremia, recommended dosage regimens for high risk patients, and additional care in the assistance of these patients. The questionnaires’ responses were reviewed following the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for disease prevention published in 2007. Results: The analysis of the results revealed a low rate of correct responses among students and dentists. The questions with the lowest rate of correct responses were those addressing the identification of patients at high risk for heart conditions and the dental procedures known to cause bacteremia, with no significant differences between the four groups analyzed (P > 0.05). Third-year dental students presented a frequency of correct responses significantly lower than that of the other groups (P < 0.001), which did not differ from each other. To conclude, all participants demonstrated poor knowledge about the topic, particularly 3rd-year dental students. Conclusion: These results reinforce the need for informative measures to raise awareness and improve the quality of dental care provided to the population.

ABSTRACT Objective: This cross-sectional, observational study sought to ascertain the perception of parents vis-à-vis the presumption of a dentoalveolar trauma, with regard to the main sequelae, social relationships, expected reactions of the children, and the feelings of the child. Methods: A total of 74 parents were selected at random, who were presented with six color photographs taken from a book, having the clinical appearance of traumatic injury. The responses were recorded with the aid of a voice recorder and were transcribed and stratified using semantic approximation. The data were tabulated using the SPSS software program and evaluated using descriptive statistics. Results: The main sequelae ascribed to dentoalveolar trauma by the parents were as follows: loss of the tooth (43%) and damage to the permanent tooth (18%). The majority of parents believed there would be no change in terms of the children’s relationship with their parents (68.9%), while for 54.1%, there might be some alienation by children in the neighborhood, and for 90.5%, schoolchildren might tease or make fun of them. Of the expected reactions, 86.5% of parents believed their child would feel differently in relation to their friends, because of their appearance. With regard to feelings, for 85.1%, the trauma could lead to the children experiencing shame or embarrassment, 79.7% replied shyness or introversion, and 60.8% sadness. Conclusion: It was concluded that the loss of a tooth and the risk of involvement of the permanent successor tooth germ were the main sequelae ascribed by the parents. Dentoalveolar trauma may have a detrimental effect on the social relationships of the children with others in the neighborhood, and mainly at school, and they may feel differently towards their friends on account of their appearance. Moreover, the children may experience shame or embarrassment, shyness or introversion, and sadness.
