title: Impact of laser therapy on quality of life of cancer patients with oral mucositis

description: Abstract Introduction The use of laser therapy in cancer patients with oral mucositis have biological effects through biochemical and photophysical processes that increase the cell metabolism by stimulating mitochondrial activity, acting as analgesics, anti-inflammatory and reparative mucosal injury. Objective The objective is to ascertain the quality of life of patients with oral mucositis induced by anticancer treatments prior to application of laser therapy and subsequent regression of oral lesions. Methodology This is a Quasi-experimental Study with 18 cancer inpatient in hospital who developed oral mucositis. The instruments used were lifting sociodemographic data, the Survey of Quality of Life (UW-QOL) was applied before the sessions with low-power laser and after the regression of the lesions. Result The data were analyzed was Student's t test and chi-square test, admitting be significant p&lt;0.05. The results analyzed revealed the most prevalent age group 65-74 years old, Caucasian ethnicity, male, married, elementary school as the predominant school, US users and residents of other cities. The most common cancer diagnosis was acute leukemia; chemotherapy appeared as treatment at 100% and 50% radiation. The mean quality of life scores of patients found was 456.2 prior to initiation of treatment with laser therapy and 678.3 after the intervention. Conclusion The quality of life improved after the sessions of laser therapy and it can be seen that the most significant changes occurred in areas related to pain, appearance, swallowing, chewing, speech, taste and salivation, and the low laser power an appropriate tool in the management of oral mucositis.

title: Comparison of postoperative infection rate in linear mandibular fractures using antibiotic prophylaxis

description: Abstract Introduction Postoperative infections are a major complication in the treatment of mandibular fractures. The use of antibiotic prophylaxis decreases infection rates; however, the maintenance after the surgical procedure is controversial in the literature. Objective To compare the rates of postoperative infection in the treatment of linear mandibular fractures with or without postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. Methodology A retrospective transversal study was performed to analyze for the presence of postoperative infection. Thirty medical records of patients with mandibular fractures, treated by intraoral access and internal fixation were selected and divided into two groups with 15 records each: Patients who only underwent preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and patients who underwent pre- and postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis for six days. Result There were five postoperative infections, three in the group under preoperative prophylaxis and two in the group receiving antibiotics after the procedure. Conclusion Postoperative antibiotics did not reduce the infection rate in linear mandibular fractures.

title: The effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks

description: Abstract Introduction The increasing consumption of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks, usually acidic, during physical activity may cause dental erosion. Objective To evaluate the effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks. Methodology Five samples of five maltodextrin-containing sports drinks [Sports Nutrition (SN), Body Action (BA), New Millen (NM), Athletica Nutrition (AN), Integral Medica (IM)] were diluted with distilled water in three different proportions: as recommended by manufacturer (rec), with 20% more powder (20+) and with 20% less powder (20-) than recommended. Their pH and titratable acidity (volume of 1N NaOH necessary to raise pH to 5.5) were determined. Result The pH and titratable acidity differed among the products, and pH values differed among the dilutions. All sports drinks showed pH below the critical pH for dental enamel demineralization. There was a significant negative correlation between pH and titratable acidity (p &lt;0.01; r = -0.795). Conclusion Changes in the dilution of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks affected their pH, but not their titratable acidity.

title: Challenges related to dental prosthesis offer in the public health system

description: Abstract Objective To describe the challenges faced by local health managers during the implementation and maintenance of Regional Laboratories Dental Prosthetics (RLDP), and identify the profile of the cities with RLDP. Method A cross-sectional study using a questionnaire that was replied by 317 local health managers between 2014 and 2015 and information extracted from official database. A chi-square test was used to analyze secondary data, with the existence of credentialed RLDP as a dependent variable and the coverage of Dental Health Team (DHT), local population, Human Development Indices (HDI), Allocation Factor (AF) and data about local health managers being the co-variables. Result The low number of dental prosthetic technician was the main challenge regarding the implementation of the RLDP and low funding was the main one related to maintenance. Cities a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants were more likely to have a credentialed RLDP (rate = 2.42). Conclusion To meet the challenges faced by cities in offering dental prosthesis in the public health, the system demands actions that go beyond the local public sphere. The educational institutions' involvement is needed in order to meet human-resources training requirements and state and federal levels involvement is required to promote strategies that reduce costs and increase access to RLDP by small cities.

title: Comparative study in vitro wear resistance between powder/liquid glass ionomer cement and encapsulated

description: Abstract Introduction The glass ionomer cements presents limitations because of their low mechanical strength, which is directly related to the powder / liquid proportion and handling. Aiming to standardize the proportioning and handling, first came the encapsulated glass ionomer cements, which have pre-determined ratio and mechanical manipulation. Objective To compare the in vitro wear resistance of the encapsulated glass ionomer cements (Riva Self Cure and Riva Light Cure) and powder/liquid (Riva Self Cure and Riva Light Cure). Material and method: The samples were divided into four groups which were made 48 specimens (n=12), 12 for each group with 7 mm diameter by 4 mm thick, and the wear was evaluated according to the mass lost in the process of brushing (10,000 cycles). The obtained values on the difference of the initial and final mass were analyzed using ANOVA and Tamhane's test (p&lt;0.05). Result Resulting found that all groups had loss of statistically significant mass, and in ascending order of wear have the light-cured glass, which there was no statistically significant differences between the powder /liquid ionomer (ΔM=11,62mg p=0.001) and encapsulated (ΔM=12,96mg p=0.003) (p&lt;0,05), followed by conventional self-curing (ΔM=20,68mg p=0.014) and encapsulated self-curing (ΔM=47,95mg p=0.002). Conclusion Conclude that despite the glass ionomer cement encapsulated standardize the proportion and handling, you can get a similar resistance to wear and even better in powder /liquid.

title: Influence of Primekote® polymer in orthodontic bonding

description: Abstract Objective The Primekote® (TP) polymer was incorporated to the of Orthodontic Bracket mesh base to improve bond strength and make it more efficient. The purpose of this study was to assess the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of these brackets. Material and method The test sample consisted of thirty bovine incisors divided into 2 groups: with a group with TP® brackets (n=15), and a control group with Morelli® brackets (n=15) without Primekote® technology. The TransbondTM XT was used as adhesive system in both groups, following the same protocol and manufacturer’s instructions. Specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hours and then submitted to shear bond strength test in a universal testing machine (EMIC DL2000). The assessment of ARI was performed under stereomicroscope by two calibrated examiners. Result No significant differences (p&gt;0.05) in shear bond strength were found between the two groups according to the independent t-test. The Wilcoxon test was used to assess ARI data and statistical difference was found between Morelli® and TP® Nu-Edge brackets; the last one left less remaining adhesive on tooth surface. Conclusion TP® brackets had higher adherence to the adhesive system as shown by lower ARI scores, but this does not improve its clinical performance.

title: Microtensile bond streght of Bulk Fill resin composites: in vitro analysis

description: Abstract Introduction The class of the Bulk Fill composites has gotten popularity with the promise of been cured effectively of layers up to 4 mm, a fact with contrasts with the 2 mm required for the convencional composites for maintance of the restoration’s adhesion. Objective The aim of this study was evaluate the microtensile bond strength to dentine of restorations made with Bulk Fill composites. Material and method 15 thirds molars teeth were utilized, whose occlusal layer was cut, exposing the teeth dentine. The teeth were divided in three groups according to the type of restoration materials. All groups were treated with the adhesive system Adper Single Bond 2. Subsequently they were cut in sticks with approximately 1 mm wide, 1 mm depth and 8 mm high, that were fixated at a universal microtensile maching. 10 sticks of each tooth were used in the experiment totaling 50 sticks per group. The data of bond strength microtensile were expressed in MPa. The failures mode was evaluated at an optical microscope. The Data were statistically analyzed through ANOVA and Tukey test (p&lt;0.05). Result The three composites studied differed statistically among themselves (p&lt;0.000). The Bulk Fill composites had microtensile bond strength similar and higher than the convencional (p&lt;0.000). The pattern failure mode found in all groups studied was the mixed. Conclusion The Bulk Fill composites showed the highest values of microtensile bond strength with the restorative technique used.
