ABSTRACT

Dentofacial deformities involve deviations from the normal facial proportions and dental relationships and can range from mild to being severe enough to be severely handicapping.The term handicapping malocclusions though not a term commonly used, involves a fortunately small section (2-4%) of patients who can suffer from esthetic,psychological and functional problems. Craniofacial Orthodontics is the area of orthodontics that treats patients with congenital and acquired deformities of the integument and it's underlying musculoskeletal system within the craniofacial area and associated structures.This case report of a young woman with severe mandibular deficiency and facial asymmetry due to condylar ankylosis highlights the importance of team work in rehabilitation of such severe craniofacial deformities

ABSTRACT

CONTEXTO: O desenvolvimento de anquilose em pacientes com insuficiência venosa crônica (IVC) pode ser evidenciado em diversos estágios da patologia através de medidas da amplitude de movimento da articulação do tornozelo tomadas com a utilização de um goniômetro. OBJETIVO: Relacionar a diminuição da amplitude de movimento da articulação tíbio-társica na IVC dos membros inferiores (MMII) medida por goniometria com a gravidade da IVC, utilizando-se a classificação CEAP. MÉTODOS: No período de março de 2003 a agosto de 2004, 86 pacientes (67 mulheres e 19 homens) com média de idade de 50,6 anos foram submetidos à goniometria do tornozelo. Os indivíduos foram divididos conforme a gravidade da IVC de seus MMII (121 avaliados) de acordo com a classificação CEAP. Quarenta membros foram caracterizados como C0 (grupo-controle), 40 como C3, e 41 como C4. As medidas obtidas nos diferentes grupos foram comparadas entre si. RESULTADOS: A média da amplitude de movimento da articulação tíbio-társica do grupo C0 foi de 42,4º (variação de 26-54); a do grupo C3 foi de 37,9º (variação de 10-61); e a do grupo C4 foi de 24,5º (variação de 8-50). A diferença das médias de C4 e C3 foi de 36 por cento, e a de C3 comparada com o grupo-controle (C0), de 11 por cento, caracterizando a maior diferença entre C3 e C4. CONCLUSÃO: A goniometria do tornozelo auxilia a graduar a hipertensão venosa crônica, pois demonstra a existência de correlação entre a gravidade da anquilose e a severidade da IVC.


BACKGROUND: Development of ankylosis in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can be observed in different stages of the disease as the ankle range of motion is measured by a goniometer. OBJECTIVE: To relate a reduced ankle range of motion in patients with CVI of the lower limbs measured by goniometry and the severity of CVI according to the CEAP classification. METHODS: From March 2003 to August 2004, 86 patients (67 females and 19 males) with a mean age of 50.6 years had their ankles assessed by a goniometer. Patients were classified into three groups according to the severity of the CVI of the lower limbs (121 were assessed) using the CEAP classification. There were 40 limbs classified as C0 (control group), 40 limbs as C3 and 41 limbs as C4. Measurements of all groups were compared. RESULTS: The average ankle range of motion was 42.4º (from 26º to 54º) in C0 group, 37.9º (from 10º to 61º) in C3 group and 24.5º (from 8º to 50º) in group C4. The difference between C4 and C3 average values was 36 percent and that between C3 and the control group (C0) was 11 percent; thus, the contrast between C3 and C4 was more significant. CONCLUSION: Ankle goniometry may be used to assess chronic venous hypertension, as it reveals a correlation between the severity of ankylosis and the severity of CVI.

ABSTRACT

To assess the efficacy of blind nasal intubation technique, in cases of ankylosis of temporomandibular joint [TMJ] without the facility of fiber optic bronchoscope. Analytical study. Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from August 2002 to October 2003. A total of 35 patients of ankylosis of TMJ were included in the study. Blind nasotracheal intubation technique was attempted after induction of anaesthesia and paralyzing the patients. Where blind nasotracheal intubation technique was not successful, one nasotracheal tube was passed into the esophagus and retained. Nasotracheal intubation was attempted through contralateral nares by second tube. Out of 35 patients male to female ratio was 1:1.2. The age of the patients ranged between 5 to 35 years with a mean age of 14.5 years. Blind nasotracheal intubation technique was successful in 23 cases [65.7%], whereas in 12 patients intubation was not successful. The 12 cases of failed blind nasotracheal intubation technique were successfully intubated nasotracheally by prior placement of nasotracheal tube into the esophagus through contralateral nares, which facilitated re-intubation [34.3%]. In the selected patients blind nasotracheal intubation was facilitated by prior placement of the endotracheal tube into esophagus. This technique may be helpful in reducing the psychological trauma and complications of tracheostomy in such patients. However, to-date, fiber optic intubation remains the safest and widely accepted intubation technique in such patients

ABSTRACT

Este artigo revisa a classificação, os inúmeros agentes etiológicos e a patogênese da reabsorção radicular. A estrutura dentária mineralizada não é normalmente reabsorvida, pois possui células capazes de promover sua manutenção, defesa e reparação. Caso essas células sejam danificadas ou removidas, células multinucleadas colonizarão essa região e o processo reabsortivo se iniciará. Esse tipo de reabsorção foi denominada reabsorção radicular inflamatória. Ocorrendo nas paredes do canal radicular, é dita interna e, na superfície externa da raiz, externa. A reabsorção radicular pode ser transitória ou progressiva

ABSTRACT

É relatado o caso de paciente do sexo feminino de 12 anos de idade, com sequência de Pierre Robin, cuja reduçäo da luz faríngea leva a apnéia do sono tipo obstrutivo e consequente sonolência excessiva diurna. Estudo radiológico articular, tomografia computadorizada e ressonância nuclear magnética evidenciam anquilose bilateral da articulaçäo têmporo-mandibular. Cefalometria mostra reduçäo acentuada do espaço aéreo posterior. Polissonografia realizada durante três noites inteiras apresenta síndrome de apnéia do sono tipo obstrutivo, severa, acompanhada de reduçäo da saturaçäo de oxigenio. No Teste das Latências Múltiplas do Sono (TLMS) há objetivamente sonolência excessiva diurna, com descréscimo da latência do sono; näo ocorre estágio REM. Avaliaçäo polissonográfica, do TLMS e radiológica extensa permitem, neste caso, estagiar a severidade de acometimento e as malformaçöes concomitantes e detectar o sítio de obstruçäo
