ABSTRACT

Third molar extraction surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the areas of buccal-maxillofacial traumatology and surgery. The post-surgery evolution was evaluated based on the clinical evidence obtained so far. The objective of this study was to analyze the post-surgery clinical evolution of the masseter muscle by means of surface electromyography, to evaluate muscle activity. Four analyses were performed: one pre-surgery, to register the normal activity, and three in post-surgery: on the 7th, 14th and 21st postoperative days, in a sample of 30 patients. On the 21st day, there was near normal recovery of the electrical signal of the masseter in women, but in men this activity did not reach normal levels. Surface electromyography is a safe and reliable tool for post-surgery evolution control of masseter function.


La cirugía de extracción del tercer molar es uno de los procedimientos realizados con mayor frecuencia en las áreas de traumatología y cirugía buco-maxilofacial. La evolución post-quirúrgica fue evaluada sobre la base de la evidencia clínica obtenida hasta el momento. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la evolución clínica post-operatoria del músculo masetero por medio de electromiografía de superficie, para evaluar la actividad muscular. Fueron realizados cuatro análisis: uno previo a la cirugía, para registrar la actividad normal, y tres en la post-quirúrgica: en el día del 7, 14 y 21 postoperatorio, en una muestra de 30 pacientes. El día 21, hubo recuperación cercana a la normal de la señal eléctrica del músculo masetero en las mujeres, pero en los hombres esta actividad no alcanzó los niveles normales. La electromiografía de superficie es una herramienta segura y fiable para el control de la evolución post-quirúrgica de la función del músculo masetero.

ABSTRACT

Traffic accidents are a reality throughout Brazil. The face is one of the anatomic parts most affected by these accidents, especially when a seat belt is not used. These accidents are costly for the public health system and have a significant impact on society and the lives of families involved. The compulsory use of seat belts in Brazil, especially in São Paulo, has decreased the rate of facial trauma. This suggests that the public health policies and measures adopted by the Brazilian authorities have benefited the population 15 years after the enactment of the law of compulsory seat belts in the city of São Paulo.

ABSTRACT

A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é uma doença que acomete principalmente os músculos da mastigação acarretando em alterações funcionais mandibulares. A terapia atual para a disfunção temporomandibular não é totalmente efetiva. Com o intuito de se solucionar este problema, a toxina botulínica tipo A foi introduzida como mais um método terapêutica alternativo para pacientes que sofrem desta desordem. Este trabalho discute as indicações, contra-indicações, técnica de aplicação e possíveis efeitos colaterais da droga.


The temporomandibular dysfunction is a disease that affects the mastigatory muscles, causing mandibular functional disorders. The therapy to temporomandibular disorders is not well established at this moment. The type A botulinum toxin was introduced as an alternative therapeutic method for this disorders. This paper will discuss indications, contra-indications, technique and side effects of the drug.

ABSTRACT

A eletromiografia tem se mostrado um método eficaz no auxilio de diagnósticos e tratamentos de desordens musculares. Na odontologia sua principal aplicacao é no tratamento das Disfuncoes Temporomandibulares. Os profissionais de odontologia nao utilizam esta técnica por desconhecerem seus benefícios ou mesmo nao terem conhecimento sobre o assunto. Um dos principais objetivos do tratamento utilizando eletromiografia é mostrar ao paciente o estado atual do músculo analisado e sua evolucao durante o tratamento, até chegar a uma funcao satisfatória.
