title: User satisfaction with complete dentures made by the public network of a city in southern Santa Catarina

description: OBJECTIVE: To assess user satisfaction with complete dentures made and delivered in 2010 by the public health care network of a city in the south of Santa Catarina. METHODS: This cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study used the Oral Health Impact Profile - 14 questionnaire to collect data. The questionnaire contains 14 questions on functional limitation, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, physical pain, and disability. The survey was done in a city in the south of Santa Catarina. The participants were chosen randomly and kept anonymous. The sample consisted of 247 complete dentures made by the public health network of the city in 2010 for patients aged more than 50 years. RESULTS: Based on the social and psychological questions, the upper complete denture have a small effect on the patient's quality of life, while the lower complete denture causes stress, self-consciousness, physical pain, and mastication problems. Therefore, the most severe problems were caused by lower complete dentures. CONCLUSION: Denture follow-up protocols should be created to minimize the damages they cause to patients' health and to reduce treatment loss.

title: A rare presentation of multiple talon cusps

description: A talon cusp is a relatively rare dental developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of accessory cusp-like structure projecting from the cingulum area or cementoenamel junction. It is frequently found on the palatal surface of the maxillary anterior teeth in the permanent dentition. The etiology is controversial, but it is suggested that this condition has a multifactorial cause, including both genetic and environmental factors. Radiographically talon cusps are radiopaque structures, in which the enamel, dentin and occasionally the pulp can be seen. The alteration is generally asymptomatic, but it may cause clinical problems eventually. Early diagnosis is important to prevent occlusal interference, irritation of the tongue, pulpal necrosis, caries and periodontal alterations. Clinical management of talon cusps may be either conservative or radical, depending on the size and shape of the affected tooth. We report a rare case of talon cusps involving all six maxillary anterior teeth in a 20-year-old patient.

title: Planning and treatment in oral rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses using cephalometric analysis

description: There are growing prosthetic and esthetic demands for Oral Rehabilitations on osseointegratable implants, requiring precise prosthetic-surgical planning. In edentulous patients planning may be done using cephalometric analysis to determine the position of the teeth in the dental prosthesis, and consequently, those of the implants. In this clinical case, the planning and treatment of an oral implant-supported rehabilitation is described, using cephalometry to optimize prosthetic success and patient comfort. The patient presented complete mandibular and partial maxillary edentulism, with unsatisfactory esthetics and function of the anterior teeth, with accentuated vestibular inclination. In order to determine the correct position of maxillary teeth it was necessary to use a Steiner cephalometric tracing to position the maxillary central incisor in the diagnostic wax-up. Therefore, the maxillary anterior teeth were extracted, osseointegratable implants were placed (Neodent(r), Curitiba, Brazil), and an immediate temporary fixed denture was inserted. After 30 days, surgery was performed for the placement of 4 osseointegratable implants (Neodent(r), Curitiba, Brazil) in the inter-mentonian region, on which a complete, temporary, implant-supported denture was placed. After the period of osseointegration, the definitive implant-supported dental prosthesis were fabricated.

title: Temporomandibular joint disk adhesion: evidence from magnetic resonance images

description: This case report has the aim to present an adhesion of the temporomadibular disc to the articular eminence, diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging images. A 37-year-old female patient with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disk adhesion on the left side and complaining of bilateral otalgia over the last 2 years is reported in the present article. The patient did not complain of articular pain or clicking, or any other noises of any nature. Clinical observation showed that the patient had restricted jaw opening, with mandibular deviation the left side without correction during mandibular movement. Our diagnostic impression was of partial anterior disk displacement with reduction of the right side disc; and partial anterior disk displacement with reduction and disc disk adhesion with hypo-mobility of the condyle, on the left temporomandibular joint. The peculiarity of this reported case is the fact that besides the bilateral partial anterior disc displacement, there was also found an adhesion of the disc on the left side. In conclusion, the magnetic resonance imaging exam of the temporomandibular joint can be considered an exam of choice for the evaluation of disc positioning and its morphological alterations.

title: Chronic myalgia centrally mediated

description: The clinical case report of a 50-year-old patient who presented to the Diagnostic and Guidance Service for Patients with Temporomandibular Disorders, at the School of Dentistry, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, with complaint of pain in the facial muscles in a continuous, throbbing manner that was paroxysmal at times, with severe intensity and of a chronic nature. After semiological interdisciplinary examination (dental, speech and physical therapy), the diagnosis suggestive of temporomandibular disorder was reached, characterized by centrally mediated chronic myalgia, associated with articular structures, parafunctional habits, malocclusion and emotional factors. Supportive dental treatment consisted of guidance throughout treatment and use of occlusal splints. After a three-and-a-half-month period of interdisciplinary therapy the patient was discharged with an 80% improvement in pain and increase in mouth opening amplitude. Episodes of pain were related only to moments of stress. The patient was instructed about the need for orthodontic treatment and psycho therapy.

title: Aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of a supernumerary peg-shaped tooth in the primary dentition

description: Supernumerary teeth are common changes in the human dentition that can compromise a congruous dental and facial growth and development. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of these developmental changes are essential for establishing occlusal, functional, and aesthetic congruence. Thus, this article reports the functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of a supernumerary peg-shaped tooth located in the anterior maxillary region of a preschooler. The tooth was restored directly using nanocomposite resin system, a putty index of the incisal position, and modified cotton roll isolation. This minimally invasive procedure not only allows future adjustment but also perfect control of the rehabilitation and simultaneous reestablishment of the child's self-esteem and tooth aesthetics and function. However, treatment should not be limited to the restorative technique. Maintenance of oral health and arch integrity are essential for the correct transition between the primary and permanent dentitions, preventing the treatment from affecting the permanent dentition.

title: Infiltration of Rhodamin B into three materials used as cervical barrier

description: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate in vitro the sealing ability of three materials used as cervical barrier for internal dental bleaching. METHODS: Thirty-three canines were selected, and after biomechanical root canal preparation, the canals were filled by lateral condensation technique. After the filling material setting reaction, the teeth were randomly divided into three groups of ten teeth each, according to the following materials for constructing the cervical barrier: X Temp LC; Vitro Fil; Coltosol. The control group consisted of three teeth, without placement of the cervical cap. Sodium perborate /distilled water associated with 2% Rhodamin B were used as bleaching substance. After placing the bleaching agent in the pulp chamber, access cavities were sealed with temporary cement IRM and samples were stored at 37 ° for 7 days. After this period, the samples were cleaved longitudinally, and leakage was evaluated by the visual method. The data were submitted to Pearson test with a 5% level of significance. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found between the study groups, however, the largest number of specimens with a lower degree of leakage were found in the Coltosol group. CONCLUSION: All the materials evaluated for making the cervical cap allowed some level of leakage.

title: A method of comparing the wear resistance of various materials used for artificial teeth

description: OBJECTIVE: Abrasion resistance of three commercial brands of acrylic resin for artificial teeth, available on the domestic market (Biotone(r), Plus(r) and Vipi Dent Artiplus(r)) was evaluated by a new methodology called "Pirassununga Method ". METHODS: The Manufacturers produced the maxillary central incisor-shaped incisal resin specimens (n=27). These were embedded in chemically activated acrylic resin in an insulated metal matrix to fabricate test specimens, which were flattened on a lathe and refined manually with sandpaper. Wear testing was conducted in an experimental machine at the Vipi dental products factory. In the "Pirassununga Method" a polished metal sphere 4.8 mm in diameter, attached to a rotary device passes over the fixed specimens in programmable cycles, under 5N pressure, using distilled water as lubricant. In each sample, the groove caused by abrasion, was analyzed in two ways: Readout under a microscope to determine the breadth and depth of the groove caused by the ball, and by laser roughness meter readout, which obtained a value Rt. RESULTS: The nonparametric Kruskal Wallis test showed no statistically significant difference between the medians of brands evaluated in the cycles performed (p = 0.936). CONCLUSION: Artiplus(r) Brand showed a lower tendency to wear than commercial brands Biotone(r) and Plus(r) Vipi Dent, with the best performance shown for the IPN polymer.
