ABSTRACT
Background Chronic cough (CC) as the main symptom of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), associated or not with other signs of esophageal dysfunction, has been poorly studied. Research the frequency of CC symptoms of EoEObjectives and their characteristics. Comorbidities, adherence to treatment, and evolution. An observational,Methods prospective study. Variables: Epidemiological, demographics, atopic, endoscopic, histological, comorbidities, symptoms, time of evolution, endoscopic phenotype, respiratory function tests. Adherence, response to treatment, complications, and evolution Only 20 patients (5%) with EoE had CC. The mean age:24 years, male 85%. TheResults time of evolution: 5 years. CC: recurrent during the day (never at night), worsened with food intake (during or after), improved when remission EoE and reappeared when active EoE. There were a few severe complications. Conclusion Although the frequency of CC as a symptom in EoE is low, it must be considered, especially if it appears in food intake.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: This article aims to discuss the multidisciplinary approach required in the treatment of cases of impaction and ankylosis of permanent teeth, associated with a history of trauma, considering the psychological state of the child and family when faced with a traumatic case of bullying, by reporting the complex treatment of a central incisor needing to be orthodontically moved across the midline. Conclusion: This clinical case was a major challenge, which included complex multidisciplinary procedures. Results and stability after 26 months of retention indicated successful orthodontic space closure of two maxillary teeth, without the use of implants or prostheses, in an adolescent patient who had a history of dental trauma, alveolar bone loss, and an uncertain initial prognosis.
RESUMO Objetivo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a abordagem multidisciplinar necessária no tratamento de casos de impacção e anquilose de dentes permanentes, associados a histórico de trauma, considerando o estado psicológico da criança e da família diante de situações traumáticas de bullying, por meio do relato do tratamento complexo de um incisivo central que precisava ser movido ortodonticamente através da linha média. Conclusão: Esse caso foi um grande desafio, que incluiu procedimentos multidisciplinares complexos. Os resultados e a estabilidade após 26 meses de contenção indicaram fechamento ortodôntico bem-sucedido do espaço de dois dentes superiores, sem o uso de implantes ou próteses, em uma paciente adolescente que apresentava histórico de trauma dentário, perda de osso alveolar e prognóstico inicial incerto.
ABSTRACT
Background: Impacted teeth, if left untreated, have a potentialto induce various complications. The mandibular third molar isthe most frequently impacted tooth with incidence varies from9.5% to 68% in different populations. The aim of the presentcross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence andpattern of mandibular 3rd molar impaction.Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional studywas conducted over the period of 1 year in which 270 cases ofpatients aged between 20 and 50 years were selected for thestudy. Parameters studied into the study were an age group,gender, location of the impacted third molar, angulation,position, and level of the impacted tooth. The data analysiswas done using the Statistical Package SPSS version 22.0.Results: In the present study total patients were 270 in which61.48% were males and 38.51% were females. Impacted teethwere maximum in both males and females in the age group 20-30 years. Mesioangular kind of impaction was maximum inboth males and females. According to Pell and Gregoryclassification at level B impactions were maximum (66.3%) andclass II impactions were maximum (51%).Conclusion: Our study concluded that the prevalence ofmandibular impactions were common in males than females.The study also noted that mesioangular impactions were themost common type of impaction. The least common form ofimpactions was the transverse types.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The third molar (3M) varies more than other molars in terms of shape, size, timing of eruption, and tendencytoward impaction. Hence, studies need to be carried out to clarify the association of the various patterns of facial growth withmandibular 3M impaction.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to relate the level of impaction of mandibular 3Ms and their inclinations to various patternsof facial growth among Indian patients.Materials and Methods: A total of 207 lateral cephalograms and optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) of patients were obtainedfrom NISSAN Radiological and Diagnostic Centre. The OPGs were analyzed by a single examiner as per: (1) Angulations(using Quek’s analysis - beta angle, 2003). (2) Depth of 3Ms. The lateral cephalograms were assessed by a single examinerusing: (1) Down’s analysis. (2) Beta angle. (3)Jarabak’s ratio. (4) Bjork’s analysis.The subjects were further classified into skeletal Class I, II, and III as well as into horizontal, vertical, and normal growth patterns.The final study data were subjected to a Pearson correlation test to check the association between the 3M impactions andvarious angles. The values found significant were coded into ordinate data and Kendall’s Tau-B Test was done.Results: Statistically, significant correlation was found between depth of impacted mandibular 3Ms and facial angle, Y-axis,cant of occlusion, angle of convexity, and gonial angle.Conclusion: Greater incidence of 3Ms was found to be at position B and C in Class II patients as compared to Class I and IIIpatients. Furthermore, patients showing vertical growth pattern were found to have increased percentage of mandibular 3Mimpactions.
