ABSTRACT
Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las consecuencias clínicas expresadas en índices COPD y ceod y su relación con la presencia de hipomineralización incisivo molar (HIM) en una población de escolares de 6 a 12 años de la provincia de Santiago. Método: Este estudio de corte transversal fue realizado en 851 escolares de 6 a 12 años de la provincia de Santiago, quienes fueron evaluados por 2 dentistas calibrados. Con consentimiento de los tutores legales, los escolares fueron examinados, y se utilizaron los criterios diagnósticos para HIM de la Academia Europea de Odontopediatría (EAPD). La historia de caries fue determinada con COPD/ceod de acuerdo a los criterios de la OMS. Los datos fueron recolectados en una ficha especialmente diseñada para esto. Los datos fueron analizados con test «t¼ para muestras individuales (considerando p < 0,05). Resultados: Los escolares afectados por HIM tuvieron una media de COPD de 0,91 (±1,21) y una media de ceod de 1,98 (±2,48), el cual fue mayor que el COPD y ceod de escolares sin HIM (0,41 [±0,95] y 1,34 [±2,15] respectivamente). La diferencia entre ambos grupos fue estadísticamente significativa para COPD (p < 0,000) y ceod (p = 0,002). Conclusiones: Escolares de la provincia de Santiago de 6 a 12 años afectados con HIM presentaron mayor COPD/ceod que escolares sin HIM.
Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical consequences, expressed in DMFT and dmft, and their relationship with Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) in a population of schoolchildren of 6 to 12 years old in the Santiago Province. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 851 schoolchildren between 6-12 years old from the Santiago Province were examined by two calibrated examiners. With informed consent from their parents, the schoolchildren were examined, and the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) diagnostic criteria was used for MIH detection. Caries history was assessed with the DMFT/dmft score according to WHO criteria. Data was collected with a form specially designed for this study. Data was analysed using Student's t-test for individual samples and a post-hoc Bonferroni (P < .05). Results: The mean DMFT score in the MIH-affected schoolchildren was 0.91 (±1.21), with a mean dmft score of 1.98 (±2.48), which were greater than the scores in the non-MIH affected schoolchildren (mean DMFT score 0.41 [±0.95] and mean dmft 1.34 [±2.15]). The differences between DMFT and dmft scores in the two groups were statistically significant (P < .000 and P = .002, respectively). Conclusions: Schoolchildren of Santiago Province of 6-12 year old diagnosed with MIH had higher DMFT/dmft scores compared to schoolchildren not affected with MIH.

Objetivo: O objetivo foi avaliar a influência de diferentes métodos de esterilização na efetividade de corte e durabilidade de pontas ultra-sônicas cilíndricas comparadas com pontas diamantadas cilíndricas convencionais. Material e Métodos:Quinze pontas diamantadas cilindricas (1092)(KG Sorensen) acopladas a um motor de de alta rotação, e quinze pontas ultrassonicas cilíndricas(8,2137) (CVDentus) acopladas a um ultra-som foram utilizadas para realizar preparos cavitários padronizados em fragmentos de dentes bovinos higidos, limpos com taça de borracha, pedra-pomes e água. Após cada um dos 10 preparos, as pontas foram9 vezes esterilizadas em autoclave (SA), estufa (SO), ou limpas com escova, sabão e água (C). Os fragmentos foram pesados e microfotografias das pontas foram tomadas no início e no final do experimento. Outras9 pontas de diamante CVD e 9 convencionais foram submetidos aos mesmos ciclos de esterilização em autoclave (SAC), forno (SOC) ou lavado com água e sabão (CC) no entanto, sem serem usadas para fazer preparos cavitários, servindo como controle. Realizou-se análise descritiva dos valores encontrados na pesagem e dos scores das microfotografias.Resultados: Diferenças estatisticamente significativas(teste t de Student pareado) foram observadas entre as pontas após a esterilização (p = 0,0001). SOe SA não influenciaram na efetividade de corte e durabilidade das pontas diamantadas ultra-sônicas e convencionais. As microfotografias mostraram diferenças morfológicas entre as pontas utilizadas para os preparos e o controle. Conclusão: As esterilizaçoes por autoclave e estufa não influenciaram a efetividade de corte e durabilidade das pontas diamantadas convencionais. Pontas diamantadas convencionais apresentaram maiores alterações estruturais após a realização de preparos cavitários e procedimentos de limpeza / esterilização, independentemente do processo utilizado.
Objectives: The aim was to evaluate influence of different sterilization methods on cutting effectiveness and durability of cylindrical ultrasonic burs compared with conventional cylindrical diamond-coatedburs. Material and Methods: Fifteen conventional cylindrical diamond-coated (1092) (KG Sorensen) coupled to a high-speed turbine, and fifteen cylindrical ultrasonic (8.2137) (CVDentus) burscoupled to an ultrasound-handpiece were used toper form standardized cavity preparations in healthy bovine tooth fragments, cleaned with rubber cup, pumice stone and water. After every 10 preparations, burs were sterilized 9 times in autoclave (SA), oven (SO), or cleaned with brush, soap and water (C). Fragments were weighed and microphotographs of burs were taken at the beginning and end of experiment. Another 9 conventional diamond-coatedand 9 CVD burs under went the same sterilizationcycles in autoclave (SAC), oven (SOC) or washedwith soap and water (CC) however, without beingused for making cavity preparations, serving ascontrol. Descriptive analyses were made of thevalues found by weighing and microphotographyscores. Results: Statistically significant differences (Paired Students-t test) were observed among bursafter sterilization (p = 0.0001). SO and SA didnot influence cutting effectiveness and durability of ultrasonic and conventional diamond-coatedburs. The microphotographs showed morphological differences between the burs used for preparation and the control. Conclusion: Sterilization by oven andautoclave did not influence cutting effectiveness and durability of CVD and conventional diamond-coatedburs. Conventional diamond-coated burs presented greater structural alterations after performing cavity preparations and cleaning/sterilization procedures, irrespective of the process used.

La Hipomineralización Molar-Incisivo (HMI) es un defecto de esmalte de origen sistèmico que afecta uno o varios molares permanentes, asociado en algunos casos a los incisivos permanentes. Defectos de esmalte, como la HMI pueden influenciar negativamente la calidad de vida, percepción estètica y autoestima de niños y adolescentes. Las opciones de tratamiento para este tipo de alteración, incluye desde medidas preventivas y procedimientos restauradores hasta la extracción dental. Factores como la edad y expectativas del paciente, severidad de la alteración y materiales deben ser considerados en el plan de tratamiento del paciente con HMI. La utilización de resinas compuestas para la restauración de molares e incisivos ha mostrado buenos resultados relacionados a la durabilidad y estètica. Este artículo presenta dos casos clínicos sobre el abordaje de la HMI en dientes anteriores, realizando preparos cavitários conservadores por medio de puntas ultrasónicas adaptadas a un sistema de ultrasonido y restauración con resina compuesta, obteniendo resultados estéticos favorables con un año de acompañamiento.
Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental enamel defect that affects one to four permanent first molars, with or without involvement of permanent incisors. Enamel defects may produce many symptoms that have physical, social and psychological effects and influence day-to-day living or quality of life. The available treatment modalities for teeth with MIH are extensive, ranging from prevention, restoration, to extraction. Factors such as age, patient expectations, severity of the lesion and materials should be considered in the treatment of the patient with MIH. Restoration with composite resin is an alternative choice for posterior and anterior MIH defective teeth and its use has been show acceptable results. This article describes two clinical cases involving pediatric patients with MIH whose procedure of cavity preparation was based on the use of CVD ultrasound diamond tips and restored using composite resin obtaining favorable esthetics results after a 1 year follow-up.
