ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of chewing gums containing CPP-ACP in remineralisation of demineralised enamel around orthodontic brackets. Material and Methods: Enamel blocks from 120 bovine incisors were used. The blocks were flattened and polished, followed by the development of incipient subsurface caries. The blocks have been subjected to a baseline microhardness analysis. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to the exposed area of the blocks, reserving an area for hardness analysis. An in situ crossover (three-way crossover phases of 21 days with an interval of one week between them), controlled, randomised and blind experimental model was used, with the participation of 12 volunteers divided into groups: G1 - negative control group, without chewing gum; G2 - conventional sugar-free chewing gum, without CPP-ACP (placebo); and G3 - sugar-free chewing gum with CPP-ACP. The following parameters were analysed: superficial linear (Ra), volumetric roughness (Sa), and superficial structural loss, which was indicated by Gap measurement (difference between the healthy and treated area). Statistical tests used were the Friedman, Wilcoxon and Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal Wallis' nonparametric tests and ANOVA. Results: There was a significant reduction in enamel microhardness after demineralisation in all the groups (p<0.05). This deleterious effect was attenuated in the three groups after the final evaluation, although there were no statistical differences (p<0.05); however, the final values did not return to the baseline values (p<0.05). Conclusion: Chewing gum containing CPP-ACP did not promote in situ remineralisation of demineralised enamel around orthodontic brackets.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is known as Leopard syndrome, which is a mnemonic rule for multiple lentigines (L), electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities (E), ocular hypertelorism (O), pulmonary stenosis (P), abnormalities of genitalia (A), retardation of growth (R), and deafness (D). We report the case of a 12-year-old patient with some of the abovementioned characteristics: hypertelorism, macroglossia, lentigines, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, subaortic stenosis, growth retardation, and hearing impairment. Due to this set of symptoms, we diagnosed Leopard syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different alcoholic beverages on the decline in force of orthodontic elastics. Material and method: In a laboratory study, 6 groups of alcoholic beverages were tested. Control group (Group 1) was composed of distilled water. Experimental groups were Whisky (Group 2), Brandy (Group 3), Vodka (Group 4), Beer (Group 5), Sugar Cane Spirit/Rum (Group 6), Wine (Group 7). In the experimental groups, templates were used to enable elastics to be submerged in the alcoholic beverages for 30 seconds once a day. Force was measured with a digital dynamometer in six different time intervals: baseline, 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Result: There were no significant differences between the treatments in the time intervals: baseline, 7, 14 and 28 days. There were statistical differences between Group 7 and the others in the first 24 hours, and between Group 1 and the others after 21 days. After 28 days, there were no significant differences in the force pattern among all groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Alcoholic beverages had no influence on the decline in force of the chain elastics. .


Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de diferentes bebidas alcoólicas sobre a força de decaimento de elásticos ortodônticos. Material e método: Em estudo laboratorial, foram testados 7 grupos de amostra, sendo: 1 grupo controle representado pela água destilada, e 6 experimentais: 2- Wisky, 3-Conhaque, 4-Vodka, 5-Cerveja, 6-Cachaça e 7-Vinho. Utilizou-se gabaritos para realizar a submersão das cadeias nas soluções de bebidas alcoólicas durante 30 segundos, uma vez ao dia nos grupos experimentais. A medição de força foi realizada com um dinamômetro digital em seis períodos diferentes 0, 1, 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias. Resultado: Não houve diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos nos momentos baseline, 7 dias, 14 dias e 28 dias. Foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre o grupo 7 e os demais no momento 24 horas e entre o grupo 1 e os demais no período 21 dias. No período 28 dias não houve diferenças significativas no padrão de força entre todos os grupos (p<0.05) Conclusão: As bebidas alcoolicas não exercem influência na degradação da força dos elásticos em cadeia. .

ABSTRACT

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma is a rare benign neoplasia derived from acrosyryngium cells of the eccrine sudoriferous glands. It affects the extremities of elderly individuals as solitary tumors, or may also present as multiple lesions. There are controversies about the pathogenesis and differentiation of the tumor. Eccrine syringofibroadenoma has been associated with subjacent conditions, such as for example, hypohidrotic ectodermic dysplasias. The authors describe a case report of a patient with Clouston Syndrome, who presented papules and nodules in extremities, clinically and histologically compatible with eccrine syringofibroadenoma. There are only three cases described in the literature, associated with Clouston Syndrome, and this is the fourth case.

ABSTRACT

O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a citotoxicidade do enxaguatório a base de clorexidina Periogard® em diferentes períodos de tempo, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 e 120 segundos, quanto ao seu efeito citotóxico em fibroblastos gengivais L929. Utilizou-se 3 grupos controle: positivo (C+) detergente celular Tween 80, negativo (C-) PBS e controle de célula (CC), onde as mesmas não foram expostas a nenhum material. O ensaio de citotoxicidade foi realizado utilizando cultura celular de fibroblasto de camundongo (L929). Após contato do enxaguatório com as células, as mesmas foram colocadas em contato com o corante vital vermelho neutro utilizando-se a técnica “dye up take”. Os valores da quantidade de células viáveis foram submetidos à análise da variância (ANOVA) para determinar se havia diferença estatística entre os grupos e, posteriormente, ao teste de Tukey (p<0.05). Os resultados demonstraram citotoxicidade do enxaguatório Periogard® em todos os períodos avaliados. Foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos experimentais com todos os demais controles (p>0.05). Pode-se concluir com a realização deste trabalho que o Periogard® é citotóxico aos fibroblastos no período de 0 a 120 segundos.


This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of chlorhexidine-based mouthwash (Periogard©) in different periods, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 120 seconds, for its cytotoxic effect on gingival fibroblasts L929. Three control groups were used: positive (C +) cell detergent Tween 80, negative (C -) PBS, and control of cell (CC) with cells that were not exposed to any material. The cytotoxicity test was performed using fibroblast cell culture of mouse (L929). After the the cells were in contact with the mouthwash, they were placed in contact with Neutral red using the dye up take technique. The values of the quantity of viable cells were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine whether there were statistical differences between groups, and then submitted toTukey test (p <0.05). The results demonstrated cytotoxicity of mouthwash Periogard© in all periods. Differences were observed between the experimental groups with all other controls (p> 0.05). It is possible to conclude that Periogard© is cytotoxic to fibroblasts in the periodsfrom 0 to 120 seconds

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a citotoxicidade do enxaguatório bucal Plax Tradicional. Avaliou-se em diferentes tempos: 1, 15, 30, 45, 60 e 120 segundos quanto seu efeito citotóxico em fibroblastos gengivais L929. Utilizou-se 3 grupos controle: positivo (C+) detergente celular Tween 80, negativo (C-) PBS, e controle de célula (CC) onde as células não foram expostas a nenhum material. O ensaio de citotoxicidade foi realizado utilizando cultura celular de fibroblasto de camundongo (L929). Após contato do enxaguatório com as células, as mesmas foram colocadas em contato com o corante vital vermelho neutro utilizando-se a técnica “dye uptake”. Os valores da quantidade de células viáveis foram submetidos à análise da variância (ANOVA) para determinar se havia diferença estatística entre os grupos, e posteriormente, ao teste de Tukey (p<0.05). Os resultados demonstraram citotoxicidade do enxaguatório com diferenças estatísticas para os grupos CC e C- (p<0.05). Em relação ao controle positivo, o Plax foi mais citotóxico nos tempos 45, 60 e 120 segundos. A citotoxicidade foi diretamente proporcional ao tempo de exposição às culturas de células. Dessa forma, pode- -se concluir que o enxaguatório Plax tradicional é altamente citotóxico a fibroblastos gengivais


The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Traditional Plax mouthwash. It was evaluated at different times: 1, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 120 seconds as their cytotoxic effect on gingival fibroblasts L929. We used three control groups: positive (C +) cell detergent Tween 80 was negative (C-), PBS, and cell control (CC) where the cells were not exposed to any material. The cytotoxicity assay was performed using cell culture of mouse fibroblast (L929). After contacting the mouthwash with the cells, they were placed in contact with the vital dye neutral red using the technique (dye uptake). The values ​of the amount of viable cells were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine whether there were statistical differences between groups, and subsequently Tukey test (p <0.05). The results showed cytotoxicity of mouthwash with statistical differences for the CC and C- (p <0.05). In relation to the positive control, Plax was more cytotoxic in the days 45, 60, and 120 seconds. Cytotoxicity was directly proportional to exposure time to cell cultures. Thus we can conclude that the traditional Plax mouthwash is highly cytotoxic to gingival fibroblasts

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a hipótese que não há diferença no desempenho de compósitos ortodônticos entre si quanto à liberaçãode flúor. Foram analisados dois compósitos ortodônticos: Grupo SB (Superbond, OrthoSource) e Grupo UB (Ultrabond, Aditek) e um cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV) convencional ortodôntico: Grupo S (Sumo, OrthoSource), como controle. A liberação de flúor foi medida durante 28 dias (1h, 24h, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias), através de eletrodo íon seletivo conectado. Houve diferença estatística entre os grupos SB e UB com o grupo S em todos os tempos avaliados (p < 0.05). Pode-se concluir com a realização desse trabalho que os compósitos Superbond e Ultrabond apresentaram um desempenho semelhante entre si, porém pouco expressiva comparado ao CIV.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a resistência à fratura de fêmures de ratos tratados com o imunossupressor tacrolimus FK-506 e compará-los a ratos tratados com placebo e não tratados. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados 90 ratos da linhagem Wistar machos. Os animais tinham nove semanas de idade e peso entre 220 e 280g. O medicamento utilizado neste estudo foi o agente imunossupressor tacrolimus administrado por via oral, 2mg/kg/dia. A suspensão foi administrada com auxílio de seringa de insulina, sendo a dose terapêutica de manutenção suficiente para manter a atividade imunossupressora. Os animais foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos (n = 30): grupo 1, nenhuma substância administrada; grupo 2, administração do imunossupressor tacrolimus FK-506; e grupo 3, administrado apenas veículo. O tratamento com FK-506 foi realizado por 28 dias. Foram avaliadas as contagens totais de leucócitos e diferencial (linfócitos, monócitos, eosinófilos e neutrófilos), com objetivo de monitoramento do efeito imunossupressor. Uma outra análise realizada foi a da densitometria óssea por absorção de raios-X de dupla energia (DXA) antes e após administração do fármaco. Para avaliar a resistência à flexão, desenvolveu-se dispositivo que serviu de apoio para realização dos ensaios mecânicos em máquina universal de ensaios mecânicos EMIC. RESULTADOS: Os resultados da resistência à flexão demonstraram diferenças estatísticas entre os grupo 1 e 2 (p = 0,001) e 2 e 3 (p = 0,001). Não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos 1 e 3 (p = 0,995). CONCLUSÕES: Os fêmures de ratos tratados com o imunossupressor apresentam menor resistência mecânica que os de ratos normais e os que utilizaram placebo.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the resistance to femur fractures in rats treated with the immunosuppressant tacrolimus FK-506 and compare them to untreated rats and rats treated with placebo. METHODS: We used 90 male Wistar rats. The animals were 9 weeks old and weighing between 220 g and 280 g. The immunosuppressive agent tacrolimus, 2 mg / kg / day, orally administered was used in this study. The suspension was administered using an insulin syringe, and the maintenance dose was sufficient to maintain the immunosuppressive activity. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=30): Group 1, no substance administered; Group 2 was administered the immunosuppressant tacrolimus FK-506; and Group 3 was administered only the vehicle. Treatment with FK-506 was performed for 28 days. Total and differential (lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils) leukocyte counts were done to monitor the immunosuppressive effect. Bone densitometry analysis by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was also done before and after administration of the drug. To evaluate the flexural strength, a support device was developed to aid in mechanical tests using an EMIC universal testing machine. RESULTS: The results of the flexural strength tests showed statistical differences between group 1 and 2 (p = 0.001) and 2 and 3 (p = 0.001). No statistical difference was found between groups 1 and 3 (p = 0.995). CONCLUSIONS: The femurs of rats treated with immunosuppressive agent have lower mechanical strength than those of normal rats and those using placebo.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar a citotoxicidade de luvas de procedimento. Materiais e métodos: foram avaliados seis diferentes tipos de luvas de procedimento divididos em oito grupos assim denominados: 1 (Embramac), 2 (Descarpack), 3 (Lemgruber), 4 (Satari), 5 (Dermaplus), 6 (Supermax). Utilizou-se 3 grupos controle: positivo (C+) detergente celular Tween 80, negativo (C-) PBS, e controle de célula (CC) onde as células não foram expostas a nenhum material. Após confecção dos corpos de prova, os mesmos foram imersos em meio mínimo essencial Eagle (MEM) por 24 hrs. Passado esse período procedeu-se a remoção do sobrenadante e colocação em contato com os fibroblastos L929. Após contato com o meio, as células foram incubadas por mais 15, 30 e 60 minutos, onde então foram adicionados 100ml do corante vermelho neutro a 0,01%. Uma vez coradas, as mesmas foram fixadas com formoaldeido e então realizada contagem de células viáveis em espectrofotômetro . Os valores da quantidade de células viáveis, foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA) para determinar se havia diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos, e posteriormente ao teste de Tukey (p<0.05). Resultados: no tempo de 15 minutos o grupo 4 foi o que demonstrou maior quantidade de células viáveis. Com 30 minutos e 1 hora de contato todos os grupos demonstraram alta toxicidade celular quando comparado aos C- e CC. Conclusões: todas as luvas foram citotóxicas nos tempos avaliados. A toxicidade aumentou com o tempo de contato com as células.


Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of procedure gloves. Materials and Methods: Six different types of procedure gloves were divided into the following eight groups: 1 (Embramac), 2 (Descarpack), 3 (Lemgruber), 4 (Satar), 5 (Dermaplus) and 6 (Supermax). Three control groups were used: positive (C +) cell detergent Tween 80, negative (C-) PBS, and control of cell (CC), where the cells were not exposed to any material. After the test bodies had been prepared, they were immersed in Eagle minimum essential medium (MEM) for 24 hrs. Next, supernatant was removed and placed in contact with the fibroblasts L929. After contact with the medium, the cells were incubated for another 15 minutes, followed by another 30 minutes and again, by a further 60 minutes, when 100 ml of neutral red dye at 0.01% was added. Once stained, they were fixed with formaldehyde and then, the counting of viable cells was performed in a spectrophotometer. The values of the quantity of viable cells were submitted to variance analysis (ANOVA) to determine whether there were any statistical differences between the groups, and afterwards, to the Tukey test (p <0.05). Results: After 15 minutes, group 4 showed the greatest quantity of viable cells. After 30 minutes and one hour of contact, all groups showed a high cellular toxicity when compared to the C-and CC. Conclusions: All the gloves were cytotoxic at the times of evaluation. The toxicity increased as the time of contact with the cells increased.
