title: Third molar extractions: a retrospective study of 1178 cases

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to investigate the demographics, patient health status, position of the teeth, pericoronitis incidence, surgical complications, use of antibiotics to third molar removal and correlate those findings. Methods: Based on panoramic radiographs, the teeth were classified as proposed by Pell and Gregory and Winter. The binomial test for proportions with a significance level of 5% was applied. Results: Records of 337 patients submitted 1178 third molar extractions in the period from 1993 to 2011 were reviewed. Most upper teeth were vertically positioned, (84.2%) (p&lt;0.0001), class I (49.55%) (p&lt;0.0001), position C (58.88%) (p&lt;0.0001) and most inferiors were mesioangulated (42.03%) (p&lt;0.0122), class II (60.22%) (p&lt;0.0001), position A (48.15%) (p&lt;0.0001). Complications occurred in 2.88% of the procedures (p&lt;0.0006), mainly in women (69.7%) (p&lt;0.0014) and more frequently in patients who did not receive antibiotics (71.43%) (p&lt;0.0027). Complications were more frequent after extraction of inferior third molars (75.75%) (p&lt;0.0001). The most common complication was alveolitis (52.51%) (p&lt;0.0006). Conclusion: In this study, the complication rates were low. They were more frequent in women who did not receive antibiotics. The most common complication was alveolitis.

title: The effect of inflammatory response modulator agents on gingivitis and periodontitis

description: ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases are infecto-inflammatory diseases. Literature, has tried to elucidate the infections component of gingivitis and periodontitis, for several years. In recent years, much has been discussed about the role of the host response modulators to periodontal therapeutic procedures. The aim of the present literature review was to evaluate the effect of host response modulating agents (anti-inflammatories) on the pathogenesis of gingivitis and periodontitis. A search in the main databases was performed and human and animal studies were selected. The majority of studies was performed in humans and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in different dosages were used. The results have shown a potential benefit of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs concerning the microbial challenge. However, this benefit seems not to occur in the long term, thus not supporting it as a periodontal therapeutic approach. Few studies evaluated the effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Moreover, the results in humans and animals are controversial, pointing to a possible deleterious effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on periodontal structures.

title: Vertical bone augmentation of posterior mandibular region: a description of two surgical techniques

description: ABSTRACT Correction of severe vertical bone deficiency in the posterior region of mandibular alveolar ridge requires surgical management if implants are scheduled and cannot have primary stability. The aim of the present study is to report two cases; one treated with alveolar osteogenesis distraction and the other with segmental osteotomy with autologous graft interposition, by describing the surgical steps as well as show the results and experiences acquired with these techniques. We opted for these methods to reconstruct the posterior mandibular region after remarkable vertical bone loss based mainly by the height and thickness of the remaining bone. Alveolar osteogenic distraction is highly advisable when vertical deficiency is severe, and if these cases are treated with the segmental osteotomy and autologous graft interposition, complications as graft failure, necrosis and resorption are more prone to occur due to insufficient vascularization. After bone maturation and bone neoformation secondary to alveolar osteogenic osteogenic distraction and segmental osteotomy with autologous graft interposition, respectively, the two presented case reports were able to securely receive dental implants. In cases of vertical bone loss of the posterior mandibular region, both surgeries currently represent the best choice for bone gain prior dental implants placement for oral rehabilitation, without technical challenges, although biological evidence to assure the superiority of one technique over the other must be further investigated.

title: Evaluation of the use of services provided by emergency care units in a Brazilian municipality

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize the users and to analyze the factors that determine their choice in using the emergency services. Methods: The study was carried out in the two Emergency Care Units in Serra (Espírito Santo, Brazil). With regard to those users seeking the services of these Emergency Care Units, a trained interviewer approached 1 out of every 4 adults classified in the nursing consultation as not relevant to the Service ("false demand"), amounting to a total of 390 interviews. Using a validated questionnaire, the interview was conducted in accordance with the policies set out in the Health Service Action Plan. 80% of the demand was classified as not relevant. Results: The "false demand" was chiefly composed of women (55.1%), educated to a level between high school and incomplete higher education (69.4%) and 14.6% were enrolled in private health plans. 78.5% had not previously sought any health service, in view of the ostensible guarantee of same-day care (43.1%) or the difficulty in receiving care in the basic health units (37.9%). Conclusion: The majority of consultations performed in the Emergency Care Units should be resolved in basic healthcare facilities. The "false demand" is related to the reported difficulties the basic health units have in providing the necessary care and their ability to resolve the problem.

title: Oral health evaluation of cardiac patients admitted to cardiovascular pre-surgery intervention

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the oral health status of patients admitted to pre-intervention heart surgery, observing the need index concerning invasive treatment. Methods: hospitalized volunteers in number of 75 were evaluated in order to be investigated concerning which systemic changes were occurring, the patients' oral health conditions as well as the need for invasive dental procedures. Results: Volunteers analyzed in the study were: 69.3% male and 30.7% female. As for the reason for hospitalization were: valvuloplasty (41.3%), coronary artery bypass surgery (24%), pacemaker implantation (16%), cardiac catheterization (8%), placement of stent (6.6%), congenital heart disease (4%). The associated systemic changes were: hypertension (54.6%), diabetes mellitus (20.0%), hypertension and diabetes mellitus (13.3%). Most patients presented the need to undergo invasive dental treatment procedures such as: Periodontal (58.6%), Restorative Dentistry (26.6%), surgical (18.6%), endodontic (12%), dental pain source (2, 6%), abscess presence (1.3%). Conclusion: The oral health status of the patients was considered poor, a significant number of patients at the time of the oral examination, needed some type of invasive dental treatment and the oral environment adequacy indicated dental condition which may cause the formation of infectious sites which in turn can trigger complications both in the oral cavity and general health, as well.

title: Goldenhar Syndrome in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of literature

description: ABSTRACT Goldenhar Syndrome is a rare, generally sporadic condition, whose physical manifestations include asymmetric incomplete facial development, epibulbar dermoids, auricular malformations e auricular appendices, vertebral anomalies, central nervous system disturbances, ocular irregularities and visceral abnormalities. Its etiology is not fully understood, with its incidence ranging from 1:3500 to 1:5600 live births, and a gender ratio of 3:2 (male: female), presenting more frequently in children with congenital deafness. The purpose of this case report was to describe clinical presentation of Goldenhar syndrome in a five-year old male with no significant family history, where almost all of the classic signs of the condition were present. Considering its involvement in craniofacial structures, its rarity, and its wide spectrum of symptoms and associated systemic abnormalities, knowledge of this condition is paramount for the dental surgeon.

title: Le Fort III osteotomy for severe dentofacial deformity correction associated with hypoplasia of the midface

description: ABSTRACT The combination of orthodontic therapy and orthognathic surgery is a well-established treatment modality for the correction of dentofacial deformities. When these deformities are more severe, involving hypoplastic midface, surgical techniques not used routinely in the treatment of facial changes are required, such as the Le Fort III osteotomy or variations of this technique. Few studies have reported the use of this technique or its modifications in non-syndromic patients. This paper demonstrates the orthodontic-surgical resolution of a patient with dentofacial deformity with severe malocclusion Class III, involving midface hypoplasia, with a modification technique of a Le Fort III osteotomy associated with Le Fort I and sagittal of the rami osteotomies. After three years of postoperative follow-up, the patient demonstrates significant improvement in chewing ability, no functional complaints, and high satisfaction with the aesthetics and improved quality of life.

title: Potential contribution of periapical radiographic film image processing for forensic identification

description: ABSTRACT Periapical X-rays are the most common complementary tests in the dental clinic. The indication of image tests in forensic identification depends on the produced X-rays quality. The image processing of conventional radiographs can improve image quality. This study aimed to report the potential contribution of image processing from radiographic films by digitally edited periapical radiographs for case reporting of positive identification. The results of anthropological examinations and dental arches of the victim matched the information transferred by the family of the missing person. The antemortem and postmortem periapical radiographs were digitized on photo scanner (Hewlett-Packard Development Company, HP ScanJet G4050 Photo, United States) and images were processed in Corel PaintShop Pro X4 editing software (Corel Corporation, v14, Canada). The comparison of antemortem and postmortem periapical radiographs digital images allowed to determine 8 concordant points in the contour and delimit the maxillary sinus as well as periodontal and dental structures of the tooth 17. Identification of the individual was possible by digital editing of radiographs in computer software. Editing allowed adjusting image brightness, contrast and sharpness, color temperature and saturation of tooth-jaw structures. Such technological feature effectively contributed to positive identification performed by Forensic Dentistry.
