ABSTRACT
Aim: To investigate the association between gender and type of cleft with hypodontia and to verify if the presence of the cleft interferes with hypodontia of one or more type of teeth in patients with ectodermal dysplasia attending the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies (HRCA), University of Sγo Paulo (USP). Materials and Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 54 patients of both genders (29 males, 25 females), from the files of the oral radiology sector of HRCA/USP, presenting with ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip and/or palate were evaluated by radiographic observation of hypodontia of one or more types of teeth. Statistical Analysis: We performed descriptive statistics and statistical analysis by Fisher test. Results: Hypodontia was observed in 50% of females and 50.88% of males; 50% for cleft palate and 50.59% for complete cleft lip and palate. Only 22.22% of patients with cleft palate and 6.67% with complete cleft lip and palate presented with hypodontia of one type of teeth, whereas 77.78% of cases with cleft palate and 93.33% with complete cleft lip and palate displayed hypodontia of more than one type of teeth. Conclusion: Based on the present methodology, there were no statistically significant differences in hypodontia of one or more types of teeth between genders or types of cleft.
ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar a reabsorção radicular apical externa em indivíduos submetidos a tratamento ortodôntico e correlacionar a reabsorção radicular com possíveis fatores predisponentes. A amostra incluiu 79 indivíduos, com idade média de 13,7 anos e dividida em 2 grupos, de indivíduos tratados sem e com exodontia dos primeiros pré-molares superiores. Foram selecionadas as radiografias periapicais dos incisivos centrais superiores, obtidas no início e no final do tratamento ortodôntico. As radiografias foram digitalizadas e inseridas no programa Regeemy® Image Registration and Mosaicking v.0.2.43-RCB (DPI-INPE, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil) e procedidos os registros a posteriori (correção de diferenças de projeção geométrica, densidade e contraste entre as duas radiografias). As mensurações dos incisivos centrais superiores, foram realizadas nas imagens referência (prétratamento) e na versão registrada (pós-tratamento), no programa UTHSCSA Image Tool® (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), obtidas em pixels e convertidas em porcentagem. Os resultados mostraram que ocorreu reabsorção radicular estatisticamente significante em ambos os grupos, com maior reabsorção no grupo com exodontia (p<0,05). Na comparação das variáveis pré e pós tratamento ortodôntico, entre os dois grupos, verificou-se que a diferença dasmedidas cefalométricas 1.NA e 1-NA foi significantemente maior no grupo com exodontia (p<0,05). A variável idade não diferiu estatisticamente entre os grupos (p>0,05). O período do tratamento foi significantementemaior no grupo com exodontia e as reabsorções radiculares foram também maiores no grupo tratado com exodontias (p<0,05), embora esteresultado tenha sido estatisticamente significante apenas para o dente 11.Somente houve correlação estatisticamente significante entre areabsorção radicular e o fator diferença 1-NA pré-pós do grupo com exodontia (Rho=0,45; p<0,05). Diante dos resultados obtidos, pode-se...
The aim on this study was to quantify the external apical root resorption in individuals submitted to orthodontic treatment and to correlate the root resorption with the possible predisposing factors. The sample comprised 79 individuals (mean age 13,7 years) divided into two groups: individuals treated with and without extractions of the maxillary first premolars. Periapical radiographs of maxillary central incisors obtained in the beginning and in the end of the orthodontic treatment were selected. Theradiographs were digitized and imported to Regeemy® Image Registration and Mosaicking v.0.2.43-RCB (DPI-INPE, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil) for image registration a posteriori (correction of geometric, density and contrast differences between two images). The maxillary central incisors were measured in the reference (pre-treatment) and registered (post treatment) images using UTHSCSA Image Tool®(University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The measurements were obtained in pixels and converted to percentage.Statistically significant root resorption was found for both groups, but it was greater for the extraction group (p<0,05). The comparison of the pre and post-treatment differences of the variables between the groups demonstrated statistically significant differences for 1.NA and 1-NA(p<0,05). These differences were greater for the extraction group. Agedidnt differ statistically between the groups (p>0,05). The treatment duration was found to be statistically higher for the extraction group as wellas the root resorptions (p<0,05), although the later was statistically significant only for tooth #11. Statistically significant correlation was found only between root resorption and the difference between 1-NA pre and post-treatment for the extraction group (Rho=0,45; p<0,05). Based on the results, we concluded that orthodontic treatment with extractions cause greater external root resorption, greater treatment duration...

La parotiditis recurrente juvenil (PRJ) es una enfermedad inflamatoria de la glándula parótida, generalmente se caracteriza por episodios recurrentes de hinchazón, dolor y fiebre. Después de la parotiditis epidémica, es la PRJ en los niños, la segunda enfermedad más frecuente de las glándulas salivales. La aparición de PRJ se produce alrededor de 6 años de edad y hay una ligera predilección por los varones. La etiología de la enfermedad sigue siendo poco clara y los síntomas tienden a desaparecer con la pubertad. Este estudio reporta el caso de un joven de 12 años que se presentó a la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Estadual Paulista, Sao José dos Campos, con una historia de episodios recurrentes de hinchazón de la glándula parótida izquierda asociada con dolor, fiebre y secreción purulenta en los primeros eventos. Terminada la anamnesia, se decidió por obtener sialografías de las dos glándulas parótidas con el uso de material de contraste Lipiodol UF 38% y radiografías panorámicas, seguidas por las evaluaciones morfológicas y funcionales. El paciente se encuentra hoy sin presentar recurrencia de la enfermedad y está bajo seguimiento clínico
The Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis (JRP) is an inflammatory disease of the parotid gland, usually characterized by recurrent episodes of swelling, pain and fever. After mumps, the PRJ in children is the second most prevalent disease of salivary glands. The emergence of PRJ occurs around 6 years old and there is a slight predilection for males.The etiology of the disease remains unclear and the symptoms tend to disappear with puberty. This study reports the case of a twelve years old boy who presented to the Dentistry School of São Paulo State University - campus São José dos Campos- with a history of recurrent episodes of swelling of the left parotid gland associated with pain, fever and purulent discharge in the early events . Finished the anamnesis, sialography were performed with the use of Lipiodol UF 38% contrast material and panoramic radiographs on both parotid glands, followed by morphological and functional assessments. There was no recurrence of the disease and the patient is under follow-up
