ABSTRACT
El dolor es un síntoma de extraordinaria importancia en la práctica estomatológica y particularmente en lo concerniente a las alteraciones de la pulpa dentaria. Con el objetivo de profundizar en el conocimiento de las fases por las que atraviesa un proceso inflamatorio pulpar, que permiten predecir sus manifestaciones dolorosas, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema con un enfoque multidisciplinario y básico-clínico. Se utilizó el método documental para el análisis y tratamiento de la información ofrecida por las fuentes teóricas. El sitio en Internet Google fue empleado como fundamental motor de búsqueda y Lilacs, Hinari, Medline y PubMed fueron las bases de datos más revisadas. La clasificación del estado de inflamación pulpar, que atiende a eventos histopatológicos que no se pueden visualizar, resulta más difícil. Se podría lograr mayor precisión en un diagnóstico basado en el curso que sigue el dolor, de acuerdo a la magnitud del compromiso inflamatorio y apoyado en la rica semiología que se puede obtener si se sigue la trayectoria de las variables del estímulo nociceptivo. El incremento y profundización de los conocimientos en este campo contribuiyó significativamente a un mejor diagnóstico y tratamiento de los procesos inflamatorios pulpares(AU)
Pain is a symptom very important in the stomatologic practice and particularly in that concerning to dental pulp alterations. To deep in the knowledge of phases crossed by a pulpal inflammatory process allowing predicting its painful manifestations, authors made a bibliographic review on this subject with a multidisciplinary and basic-clinical approach, using the documentary method for analysis and management of information offered by theoretical sources. Google was used as a fundamental search tool and LILACS, HINARI, Medline and PubMed were the more reviewed databases. The classification of pulpal inflammation state, taking into account non-visualized histopathology events is more difficult and it may to achieve a great accuracy in a diagnosis based on course after pain, according the magnitude of inflammatory compromise and supported by the potential valuable symptomatology if we follow the trajectory of the nociceptive stimulus variables. The know ledges increase and deepening in this field will contribute in a significant way to a better diagnosis and treatment of pulpal inflammatory processes(AU)

En nuestro sistema nacional de salud son incalculables los esfuerzos realizados en función de dotar a la Estomatología y dentro de ella a la Periodontología, de los medios más modernos y eficaces en las actividades preventivo curativas contra las enfermedades periodontales. Objetivo: determinar el comportamiento de las enfermedades periodontales en adolescentes de los consultorios 11, 51 y 64 del Área de Salud Norte perteneciente al Policlínico Docente Joaquín de Agüero y la Clínica Estomatológica Docente La Vigía. Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo en adolescentes de once a quince años. La muestra quedó conformada por cuarenta adolescentes a los cuales se le realizó una encuesta de conocimientos sobre salud bucal. Resultados: predominó el sexo femenino, el nivel de información sobre salud bucal fue aceptable, predominaron los procesos inflamatorios. Conclusiones: los adolescentes que más concurrieron al estudio fueron los de 14 años. Más de la mitad de los adolescentes estudiados estaban afectados por la enfermedad periodontal.
In our national system of health are incalculable the efforts carried out in function of endowing Odontology, and inside her to Periodontology, of the most modern and effective means in the preventive curative activities against the periodontal diseases. Objective: to determine the behavior of the periodontal diseases in adolescents from the doctors´ office 11, 51 and 64 of the North Health Area belonging to the Teaching Polyclinic "Joaquín de Agüero" and the Teaching Odontology Clinic "La Vigía". Method: a descriptive study in adolescents from eleven to fifteen years was performed. The sample was constituted by forty adolescents to whom a survey of knowledge on oral health was carried out. Results: the feminine sex prevailed, the level of information on oral health was acceptable, and the inflammatory processes predominated. Conclusions: adolescents that most concurred to the study were those of 14 years. More than the half of the studied adolescents was affected by the periodontal disease.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A recently proposed apparatus for the treatment of nasal inflammatory affections is the atomized nasal douche. The aim of the paper was to assess the efficacy of the atomized nasal douche in patients affected by acute or chronic rhinopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected 60 adult patients: They were subdivided into two groups and each group consisted of 15 patients suffering from vasomotor rhinitis and 15 patients affected by acute rhinitis. The former underwent atomized nasal douche and the latter underwent nasal lavages with saline solution. We performed bacterial cultures of the nasal swab and the secretions drawn from the nasal cavity, a rhinomanometric test, an assessment of the symptomatologic score before and after the treatment in all the patients. RESULTS: At the end of treatment, there was a reduction or complete disappearance of the bacterial colonies in 23 of the 30 patients treated with the atomized nasal douche, while in the control group the same result occurred in only 10 of the 30 patients. CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that the atomized nasal douche performs an efficacious lavage of the nasal cavity, representing a good support for the treatment of inflammatory processes of the nose.
