ABSTRACT
Introduction: The goal of this pilot study was to evaluate the differences between checking occlusion on implants crowns using 16 or 200 µm thickness of articulating occlusal paper, and to compare the stained occlusal area between the groups after bite forces of 200 and 250 N. Methods: It was included 10 casts of articulated-type IV gypsum, 10 NiCr crowns, articulating occlusal papers (16 µm and 200 µm thick), and a compression test machine. Compressive forces (200 and 250 N.mm) were applied on models, to check the occlusal contact area of fixed and cemented crowns. The contact areas on the crowns were measured through images obtained by the scanning electron microscope. Statistical tests were performed considering the significant level of 5% (p≤0.05). Results: The stains found using 200 µm of articulating paper were higher than those with 16 µm, independent of the force applied. However, the stains obtained in lower teeth with different strengths (200 and 250N) marked with 16 µm articulating paper were not possible to score. The articulating paper variable had significant statistical results (p=0.002), while the variables force (p=0.443) and articulating paper-force interaction (p=0.607) were not significant. The mean area found in staining using the 200 µm and 16 µm papers was, respectively, 8.3380 mm2 and 3.4759 mm2. Conclusion: It was possible to confirm that 200 µm of articulating occlusal paper showed better and significant results to stain the occlusal area, permitting a more accurate adjustment independent of the force applied.

Objetivo: avaliar, através de um estudo retrospectivo, a sobrevida clínica de três sistemas de implantes em diferentes densidades ósseas. Material e métodos: dois sistemas de implantes nacionais titânio c.p. grau 2 e um sistema internacional titânio c.p. grau 3 foram utilizados conforme as recomendações dos fabricantes. Esses implantes serviram como suporte para pró teses unitá ria, parcial fixa, total fixa e removível em variados sí tios da cavidade oral. Os sí tios foram classificados de acordo com a densidade óssea. As análises uni e multivariada com regressão logística foram usadas para verificar a influência do sexo, idade, localização anatômica e tipo de implante na taxa de sobrevivência (nível de significância 5%). Resultados: 707 implantes de titânio puro com diferentes macrogeometrias e tratamento de superfície foram inseridos em 194 pacientes. Dos implantes instalados, o índice geral de sobrevivência foi 94,5%. A taxa de sobrevivência foi maior no sexo masculino do que no feminino (96,5% x 93,3%). O valor OR para o sexo feminino fi cou entre 1,96 (univariada) e 2,35 (multivariada). Conclusão: dentro dos limites deste estudo, a idade maior ou igual a 40 anos, o sexo feminino, o uso de implantes cilíndricos de titânio c.p. grau 2 com superfície tratada por ácido e jateada com óxido de alumínio, e a densidade óssea D4 que não seja na região mandibular apresentam-se como fatores de resultados estatisticamente significativos.
Objective: to perform a retrospective evaluation on the clinical survival of three implant systems placed at different bone densities. Material and methods: two grade 2 c.p. titanium national systems and one grade 3 c.p. titanium international system were used according the manufacture's recommendations. These were restored with single-tooth, partial fixed/removable prostheses in several oral cavity sites classified according to their bone densities. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to calculate the influence of gender, age, anatomic location, and implant type on the survival rates (5% level of significance). Results: 707 dental implants with different macrogeometries and surface treatments were inserted in 194 patients. The overall survival rate was 94.5%. The survival was higher for male and females (96.5% versus 93.3%). The Odds ratio for female gender was 1.96 (univariate) and 2.35 (multivariate). Conclusion: within the limits of this study, age ≥ 40 years, female, cylindrical shaped Grade 2 c.p titanium, acid-etched and aluminum oxide blasted, and the D4 bone density (except for the mandibular arch) can be considered factors with signifi cant influence on the survival results.

A osteonecrose dos maxilares é uma das principais complicações relacionadas ao uso de medicamentos antirreabsortivos. Este artigo teve como objetivo relatar dois casos clínicos nos quais as pacientes desenvolveram osteonecrose dos maxilares induzida por bisfosfonatos, após instalação de implantes dentários. Em ambos os casos, as pacientes não relataram uso de bisfosfonatos. No primeiro caso, a região afetada foi a maxila, tendo sido utilizado o tratamento para infecção durante muitos meses até que, após remoção de sequestro ósseo, obteve-se o diagnóstico da patologia. O tratamento conservador com laser de baixa potência e antibioticoterapia obteve sucesso. No segundo caso, a paciente apresentou sequestro ósseo na região dos implantes dentários após realizar clareamento de um dente vizinho à região. O tratamento conservador não foi bem-sucedido, e a cirurgia para ressecção em bloco foi necessária. Nas duas situações, as pacientes só revelaram ter feito uso de medicação antirreabsortiva após serem questionadas diretamente, quando apresentaram sequestro ósseo. Uma anamnese dirigida e medidas para prevenção da complicação devem ser tomadas em pacientes que fazem ou fi zeram uso deste tipo de droga.
The osteonecrosis of the jaws is the main complication related to the use of anti-resorptive drugs. This article aims to report two clinical cases where the patients developed bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw following dental implant installation. In both cases, both patients did not report use of bisphosphonates. In the first case, the affected region was the maxilla and it was treated as an infection for several months, until removal of bone sequestration, with the pathology diagnosed. The conservative treatment with low intensity laser and antibiotic therapy achieved success. In the second case, the patient presented bone sequestration around dental implants after performing internal tooth whitening in the neighboring region. The conservative treatment was not successful and surgery for bone resection was necessary. In both cases, the patients revealed to have used anti-resorptive drugs only after being directly questioned when bone sequestration was observed. A directed medical history and preventive measures should be taken with patients that use or have used this medication.
