title: Factors associated with gingival bleeding in adolescents

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the relationship between gingival bleeding and risk factors (behavioral and psychosocial) in adolescents aged 14 to 19 years in the city of São Lourenço da Mata, Brazil. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1154 adolescents aged 14 to 19 years randomly selected from public schools located in the city of São Lourenço da Mata in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Socio-demographic (sex, age and race), behavioral (oral hygiene, smoking, alcohol use and leisure activities) and psychosocial (self-esteem and self-perception) data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. The presence/absence of gingival bleeding was determined using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). The data were submitted to descriptive statistics and Pearson’s chi-square test was used to determine associations between risk factors and gingival bleeding, with the significance level set at 5% (p &lt; 0.05). Results: The response rate was 80% of 1418 adolescents initially proposed to compose the sample and the prevalence of bleeding was 50.3%. No associations were found between gingival bleeding and socio-demographic, behavioral or self-esteem factors. Regarding self-perception, a significant association was found between positive attitudes of satisfaction with one’s physical appearance and gingival bleeding (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: Gingival bleeding was found in most adolescents, but did not exert an influence on the satisfaction these individuals have regarding their physical appearance.

title: The relationship between the storage methods and the formation of dentinal defects (cracks)

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This research study aims at conducting an in vitro evaluation of crack formation in freshly extracted teeth after undergoing different storage and decontamination methods. Methods: 60 erupted upper third molars conventionally extracted using forceps # 210h (quinelato surgical instruments, rio claro - sp) and randomly distributed in three groups (n = 30): group 1 - storage in dry environment for 30 days, group 2 - sterilization in autoclave and storage for 30 days in distilled water, and group 3 - 10% formaldehyde decontamination for 14 days and storage in distilled water for additional 30 days. after the storage period, teeth had their roots transversely sectioned at 2, 4 and 6 mm below the root apex using a low rotation diamond disk under constant cooling. the evaluation of fragments was performed using a 30-time magnification microscope. Results: Cracks were seen only in group 1 and the chi-square statistical test with 5% significance level showed a statistically significant difference comparing the dry storage group to the others. Conclusion: The storage of extracted teeth in a dry environment influences the formation of dentinal defects.

title: Nutritional status and dental caries of schoolchildren from Sobral - Ceará

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the relationship between nutritional status and dental caries of schoolchildren from Sobral, Ceará, Braszil. Methods: Dental health and nutritional status of 92 children studying in two different schools and aging 5 years old were evaluated. The nutritional status was evaluated using the Body Mass Index (BMI), and the dental health status was evaluated using the Decayed, Missing, and Filling Tooth Index (DMFT-index). An interview with the parents of the children was also performed to investigate the socioeconomic profile and nutritional habits of the children. Results: A DMFT-index of 1.97 was found, and 39.6% of the childrenpresented overweight. Higher prevalence of dental caries was associated with low income, public schools, and less schooled parents. The variable overweight presented the inverse situation found for dental caries. Moreover, it was observed lower prevalence of caries in overweight children. Conclusion: Dental caries and nutritional status exhibited different behaviors in the population studied, which were driven by the sociodemographic profile of the family.

title: Perception and knowledge about oral health of caregivers of children with microcephaly

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the perception and knowledge of caregivers of children with microcephaly on oral health care. Methods: This is a qualitative study with a research-action method, in which semi-structured interviews - diagnostic and evaluative - and oral health workshop were adopted as techniques for data collection and intervention.The study was conducted in a group aimed at caregivers of children with microcephaly, offered in the public health network of the capital MaceiÃ³, Alagoas. Nine women caring for children with microcephaly participated in the study. The participants statements were transcribed and, through the thematic analysis, the data was categorized and discussed. Results: The main caregivers of children with microcephaly were mothers and grandmothers. Of these, 45% had incomplete secondary education. Most reported self-care with their impaired oral health, were unaware of the risk of transmission of dental caries-related bacteria, did not offer exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age, and offered artificial milk to the children with sugared and farinaceous milk. Conclusion: For caregivers of children with microcephaly, oral health care is a less valuable topic when compared to other demands, both at home and other physical treatments. Responsibility for care is aimed at the maternal figures, which makes it difficult for them to take care of their own oral health. Educational action on oral health minimized doubts and fragilities for the self-care and care of children related to oral health.

title: Alveolodental ankylosis: biological bases and diagnostic criteria

description: ABSTRACT Alveolodental ankylosis is the fusion of cementum or root dentin with the alveolar bone in both deciduous and permanent teeth. This leads to important clinical and radiographic changes in the affected teeth. Moreover, knowledge of the biological principles involved allows adequate management of teeth affected by this phenomenon.

title: Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia: a rare case in a child

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims to describe an inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia case caused by chronic irritation due to poor dental positioning after trauma. An 11-year-old female patient was sent to a dental specialty center with the complaint of a soft tissue growth in the place of an unerupted maxillary central incisor, causing her behavioral changes becoming more timid. After anamnesis and clinical examination it was noted that tooth 11 was in a vestibular position, covered with a hyperplastic lesion. Surgical treatment was performed and the histopathological exam revealed inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Over the course of the follow-up appointments, it was possible to observe improvement on the mentioned tooth and the patient’s satisfaction. In face of the low prevalence of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, it is worth mentioning that the tooth positioning, outside its correct alignment in the arch, can cause repeated trauma to the mucosa, and then turning into etiological factor to inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, affecting even children and adolescents. Thus, the dentistry must be alert to establish a diagnosis and clinical treatment, in addition to monitoring these cases.

title: Surgical excision of polymorphous adenocarcinoma in the left maxilla with mucocutaneous flap reconstruction

description: ABSTRACT Low-grade polymorphous adenocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of salivary glands with uncommon occurrence in the head and neck region, almost exclusively affecting minor salivary glands. While this condition has typical clinical pathological signs, it commonly presents low biological damage potential. The lesions occur more frequently among elderly females between the sixth and eighth decades of life, with a higher prevalence for the hard palate, soft palate and, most regularly, the upper lip and jugal mucosa. The clinical and histological differential diagnosis of this condition is between pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. The most indicated surgical treatment is extensive surgical excision, eventually including resection of the underlying bone. Although infrequent, there may be metastasis for regional lymph nodes. Radical dissection of the neck is not indicated unless there is clinical evidence of cervical metastasis. The present study reports the case of surgical excision of polymorphous adenocarcinoma in the left maxillary tuberosity region. A 63-year-old white male patient sought the Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology Service at the Federal University of Pernambuco Clinics Hospital, complaining of a tumor-like lesion in his left maxilla, which gradually increased in volume. The patient further reported a history of surgery ten years before for removal of a tooth in the same region, upper left arch. Given the extent and complexity of the lesion, the surgical treatment in this case consisted of hemimaxillectomy.

title: Application of botulinum toxin type A in gummy smile: case report

description: ABSTRACT Gummy smile is one of the major complaints of patients, due to its influence on the self-esteem. It is known that it has a multifactorial cause and can be present in the excessive vertical growth of the maxilla, excessive labial contraction, short upper lip and extrusion of the anterior teeth. The use of the botulinum toxin can be associated with additional treatments or be applied individually, according to the need of each patient. The goal of this research study was to present a clinical case using botulinum toxin type A as an alternative therapy to correct the gummy smile. A 22-year-old patient, presenting vertical maxillary growth, reporting aesthetic discomfort while smiling, chose for an alternative treatment therapy with the application of botulinum toxin to correct the accentuated gingival display. The results show that the toxin is a satisfactory treatment option and its indication is considered a fast, effective, easy and safe treatment method, being a more conservative approach compared to surgical procedures.

title: Oral management of a patient with cemento-osseous dysplasia: a case report

description: ABSTRACT Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a subtype of fibrous-osseous lesion that commonly appears in the jaws of middle-aged black women. Clinically, the florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is asymptomatic. The radiographic aspect shows a radiolucent area with several masses of radiopaque structures, typically found in the toothbearing areas. Usually, the diagnosis is made during routine radiographic examination. The treatment is required when infection occurs due to exposure of the lesion in the oral cavity. In these severe cases, pain and facial deformity may be present. Commitment oral hygiene and routine dental visits for check-up are recommended for individuals affected. The objective of this study was to present a clinical case of a 24-year-old white woman with florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, who had been under surveillance for 13 years. Some changes in the radiographic pattern were observed as the orthodontic treatment was carried out in a private service. No tooth extraction was performed. This change is expected because florid cemento-osseous dysplasia has different radiographic aspects that correspond to the different developmental stages of the lesion. It is suggested, however, that the presence of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia did not preclude the success of the orthodontic treatment.
