ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT This paper aims at exposing the foundations or reasons why, in cases of external tooth resorption, including those of orthodontic origin, one should not perform a root canal to treat it. That should be done only to teeth with contamination or pulp necrosis, to remove the periapical inflammation induced by microbial products. When facing cases of external tooth resorption, one's conduct must always respect the following sequence of steps: first of all, identifying the cause accurately; then, planning the therapeutic approach and, finally, adopting the conducts in a very well-founded way. The situations in which endodontic treatment is recommended for tooth resorptions are those when there are: a) pulp necrosis with microbial contamination, b) aseptic pulp necrosis, c) developing calcific metamorphosis of the pulp and d) diagnosis of internal resorption. It is not possible, through the pulp, to control the resorption process that is taking place in the external part, after all, the causes are acting in the periodontal ligament. There is no evidence that justifies applying endodontic treatment, by means of root canal, to control external resorption processes, when the pulp shows vitality.


RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo principal expor os fundamentos ou razões pelas quais, em casos de dentes com reabsorção dentária externa, incluindo as de origem ortodôntica, não se deve fazer o canal para tratá-la. Isso se faz apenas nos dentes com contaminação ou necrose pulpar, para remover a inflamação periapical induzida pelos produtos microbianos. Frente a casos de reabsorção dentária externa, as condutas devem premiar sempre a seguinte sequência: primeiro, identificar a causa com precisão; depois, planejar a forma de abordagem terapêutica e, por fim, adotar as condutas de forma muito bem fundamentada. As situações em que o tratamento endodôntico está indicado na terapêutica das reabsorções dentárias são quando houver: a) necrose pulpar por contaminação microbiana, b) necrose pulpar asséptica, c) metamorfose cálcica da polpa inicial e d) diagnóstico de reabsorção interna. Não se consegue, por via pulpar, controlar o processo reabsortivo que está ocorrendo na parte externa; afinal, as causas estão atuando no ligamento periodontal. Não há qualquer evidência que justifique fazer o tratamento endodôntico, via canal, para controlar processos reabsortivos externos, quando a polpa está com vitalidade.

ABSTRACT

A common question about root resorption is raised in orthodontic practice: What is more important, the intensity of force or its distribution along the root, periodontal and alveolar structures? Diffuse distribution of forces applied to periodontal tissues during tooth movement tends not to promote neither extensive areas of cell matrix hyalinization nor significant death of cementoblasts that lead to root resorption. However, focal distribution or concentration of forces within a restricted area - as it occurs in tipping movements, even with forces of lower intensity - tend to induce extensive areas of hyalinization and focal death of cementoblasts, which is commonly associated with root resorption. In tipping movements, the apical regions tend to concentrate more forces in addition to wounding the cementoblasts due to the smaller dimension of their root structure as well as their cone shape. For this reason, there is an increase in root resorption. In the cervical region, on the other hand, the large area resulting from a large diameter and bone crown deflection tends to reduce the effects of forces, even when they are more concentrated, thus rarely inducing death of cementoblasts and root resorption.


Um questionamento comum sobre as reabsorções radiculares na prática ortodôntica: "O que é mais importante? A intensidade das forças aplicadas ou sua distribuição ao longo das estruturas radiculares, periodontais e alveolares?" A distribuição difusa das forças aplicadas sobre os tecidos periodontais durante o movimento dentário de corpo tende a não promover extensas áreas de hialinização da matriz extracelular, nem morte significativa de cementoblastos que levariam à reabsorção radicular. Porém, a distribuição focal ou concentração de forças - como nas inclinações, mesmo nas de menor intensidade - em uma área restrita tende a induzir áreas extensas de hialinização e morte focal de cementoblastos, associando-se mais comumente à reabsorção radicular. Nos movimentos de inclinação, as áreas apicais, por sua menor dimensão da estrutura radicular e sua forma cônica, tendem a concentrar mais ainda as forças e lesar cementoblastos, aumentando a frequência das reabsorções radiculares. Na região cervical, a maior área decorrente do maior diâmetro e a deflexão óssea da crista óssea tendem a reduzir os efeitos das forças, mesmo quando mais concentradas, muito raramente induzindo a morte de cementoblastos e reabsorções radiculares.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the histological alterations that occurred in the periodontal area of rat molars submitted to induced tooth movement (ITM) right after an intentional trauma (subluxation). METHODS: Forty adult male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus) were selected. The animals were divided into eight groups (n = 5), according to the combination of variables: Group 1 - control (neither trauma nor ITM); Group 2 - ITM; Groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 - dentoalveolar trauma groups corresponding, respectively, to 1, 3, 8 and 10 days after trauma; Groups 7 and 8 - the animals' molars were subjected to a 900 cN impact and, one and three days after the trauma event, tooth movement was induced. The rats' maxillary first molars were mesially moved during seven days with a closed coil (50 cN). After the experimental period of each group, the animals were sacrificed by anesthetic overdose and the right maxillas were removed and processed for histological analysis under light microscopy. RESULTS: In the animals of group 3, 4, 5 and 6, the histological alterations were not very significant. Consequently, the effect of induced tooth movement right after a subluxation event (groups 7 and 8) was very similar to those described for Group 2. CONCLUSION: There was no difference in the quality of periodontal repair when ITM was applied to teeth that had suffered a subluxation trauma. .


OBJETIVO: avaliar as alterações histológicas ocorridas na área periodontal de molares de ratos submetidos à movimentação dentária induzida (MDI), logo após um trauma intencional (subluxação). MÉTODOS: quarenta ratos Wistar machos adultos (Rattus norvegicus albinus) foram selecionados. Os animais foram divididos em oito grupos (n = 5), de acordo com a combinação das variáveis: Grupo 1 - controle (sem trauma e sem MDI); Grupo 2 - MDI; Grupos 3, 4, 5 e 6 - grupos de trauma dentoalveolar correspondendo, respectivamente, para 1, 3, 8 e 10 dias após o trauma; Grupos 7 e 8 - os molares murinos foram submetidos a um impacto de 900cN e, de um e três dias após o evento trauma, o movimento do dente foi induzido. Os primeiros molares superiores dos animais foram movidos mesialmente durante sete dias, com uma mola fechada (50cN). Após período experimental de cada grupo, os animais foram sacrificados por overdose anestésica e as maxilas direitas foram removidas e processadas para análise histológica qualitativa. RESULTADOS: nos animais dos grupos 3, 4, 5 e 6, as alterações histológicas não foram muito significativas. Consequentemente, o efeito do movimento dentário induzido logo após um evento de subluxação (grupos 7 e 8) foi muito semelhante ao descrito para o grupo 2. CONCLUSÃO: não houve diferença na qualidade do reparo periodontal quando a MDI foi aplicada aos dentes que sofreram um trauma de subluxação. .

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to present a classification with a clinical application for root resorption, so that diagnosis will be more objective and immediately linked to the source of the problem, leading the clinician to automatically develop the likely treatment plan with a precise prognosis. With this purpose, we suggest putting together all diagnosed dental resorptions into one of these four criteria: 1) Root resorption caused by cementoblast cell death, with preservation of the Malassez epithelial rests. 2) Root resorption by cementoblasts and Malassez epithelial rests death. 3) Dental resorption by odontoblasts cell death with preservation of pulp vitality. 4) Dental resorption by direct exposure of dentin to gingival connective tissue at the cementoenamel junction gaps.


O presente trabalho propõe-se a apresentar uma classificação, com aplicação clínica, para as reabsorções dentárias, para que o diagnóstico seja objetivo e imediatamente ligado à causa do problema, levando automaticamente o clínico ao provável plano de tratamento e a um prognóstico preciso. Com esse objetivo, sugerimos agrupar cada caso clínico de reabsorção dentária em um dos seguintes grupos: 1) Reabsorções radiculares pela morte dos cementoblastos, com manutenção dos restos epiteliais de Malassez. 2) Reabsorções radiculares pela morte dos cementoblastos e dos restos epiteliais de Malassez. 3) Reabsorções dentárias pela morte dos odontoblastos, com manutenção da vitalidade pulpar. 4) Reabsorções dentárias pela exposição direta da dentina ao tecido conjuntivo gengival, nos gaps da junção amelocementária.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: se describe el tratamiento de una pieza dentaria que presenta reabsorción cemento-dentinaria externa (RCDE) como consecuencia de un traumatismo ocurrido hace veinticinco años. Caso clínico: la resolución se completó en dos etapas. En la primera, dado que se observó una obturación incorrecta, se realizó el retratamiento endodóntico y se obturó con conos de gutapercha y sellador Sealer 26. En la sesión siguiente, se levantó un colgajo con el objetivo de exponer y explorar la zona radiolúcida presente en distal de la raíz a la altura del tercio medio. Se realizó un curetaje y se rellenó la cavidad de la reabsorción con trióxido mineral blanco (MTA). La rehabilitación estética de la corona fue realizada con una carilla de composite a mano alzada. Después de dos años de haber realizado el tratamiento y en controles radiográficos periódicos, se observó que la RCDE se detuvo. Conclusión: las reabsorciones cemento-dentinarias externas inflamatorias son lesiones relativamente frecuentes luego de un traumatismo dentario. Es importante realizar un diagnóstico temprano para evitar su evolución y la consecuente pérdida de la pieza. El material fue elegido teniendo en cuenta sus propiedades físicas y químicas, entre las que se destacan su baja citotoxicidad, la capacidad de solidificar en presencia de humedad y el estímulo que ejerce sobre la regeneración del ligamento periodontal.

ABSTRACT

Uma alteração muito comum, que suscita muitas dúvidas sobre sua etiopatogenia e significado, é a hipercementose. A literatura pertinente é reduzida e o cemento representa o tecido dentário menos estudado, ignorando-se até qual o seu grau de reatividade frente a estímulos e agressões. A espessura e a estrutura do cemento mudam com a idade. Deve-se fazer uma diferença precisa entre o aumento da espessura do cemento e a hipercementose. Na hipercementose se tem uma formação excessiva do cemento, além do limite necessário para cumprir suas funções normais, com alteração da forma macroscópica da raiz, especialmente em seu diâmetro. Cada forma de hipercementose tem significados diferentes: como interpretá-los no planejamento e/ou no acompanhamento do tratamento? Deve-se tomar algum cuidado especial, do ponto de vista biológico, ao se colocar um implante vizinho a um dente com hipercementose? Para colaborar com as respostas a esses questionamentos — e ao mesmo tempo colaborar para diagnósticos mais seguros da hipercementose, valorizando-se o seu significado clínico e biológico —, nos propusemos a reanalisar a literatura e uma amostra estudada ao longo dos anos em trabalhos, dissertações e teses.


A very common alteration that raises many questions about its etiopathogenesis and meaning is the hypercementosis. The pertinent literature is reduced and cementum represents the less studied dental tissue, and even its reactivity level under stimulation and aggression is ignored. Cementum thickness and structure change overtime. One should make an accurate differentiation between cementum thickness increase and hypercementosis. In hypercementosis there is an excessive formation of cementum beyond the limit necessary to allow its regular functions, with macroscopic root shape alteration, specially regarding to its diameter. Each hypercementosis type has different meanings: How to understand them when planning and/or on treatment follow-up? One must take special care, from a biological point of view, while setting an implant in the neighborhood of a tooth with hypercementosis? To help answering these questions and at once collaborate to more secure hypercementosis diagnoses, appreciating its clinical and biological meaning, we have set ourselves out to reanalyze the literature and a sample studied over the years in papers, dissertations and thesis.

ABSTRACT

El Fibroma Cemento Osificante (FCO) es una lesión pseudo tumoral benigna de origen odontogénico, que se ubica preferentemente a nivel de molares y premolares mandibulares. Nuestro objetivo es presentar casos de FCO dentro de una misma familia, describiendo las características clínicas, radiográficas, histológicas, tratamiento y seguimiento de cada uno de ellos. Dos pacientes hermanos con FCO mandibulares atendidos en el Hospital de Carabineros fueron incluidos en este estudio. La evolución completa de cada caso es expuesta, resaltando el componente familiar de esta patología poco prevalente. Todos los pacientes fueron tratados con remoción completa de la lesión y relleno del defecto óseo con injerto autólogo de cresta iliaca o con injerto óseo particulado sintético (ChronOS®). Un paciente presento recidiva de la lesión y posteriormente un nuevo FCO en el lado contra lateral. En este tipo de lesiones, es muy importante valerse de todas las herramientas diagnosticas que estén a nuestro alcance, ya que la baja ocurrencia de estas lesiones, junto con la gran similitud tanto clínica, radiográfica e histológica que presenta con otras entidades patológicas de los maxilares, hacen que un estudio superficial, puedan llevar a un diagnostico y tratamiento erróneo, afectando la calidad de vida del paciente. El tratamiento de estas lesiones es conservador, y las recidivas son raras.


The Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous neoplasm of odontogenic origin, that is preferentially localized in the molar and premolar mandibular area. Our goal is to present cases of COF that occurred within the same family, describing clinical, radiological and histological characteristics, in addition to treatment and monitoring of each case. Two patients who are brothers, treated at the Hospital de Carabineros, who had mandibular COF, were included in this study. The complete evolution of each case is presented, highlighting the family component of this uncommon disease. All patients were treated with complete removal of the lesion and filling the bone defect with autologous iliac crest graft or synthetic particulated bone graft (ChronOS®). One patient had recurrence of the injury and then presented a new COF on the contralateral side. In this type of injury it is very important to use all the diagnostic tools within our reach. The rarity of these lesions, and the great similarity of both clinical, radiological and histological features with other pathological conditions of the jaws, and a poorly conducted study can lead to wrong diagnosis and treatment affecting the quality of life of patients. The treatment of these lesions is conservative, and relapses are rare.

ABSTRACT

Background: Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a lesion of gingival tissue that predominantly affects women and is usually located in maxilla, anterior to molars. The definitive diagnosis is established by histopathological examination, which reveals the presence of cellular connective tissue with focal calcifications. Objective: This study hypothesizes the histogenesis of POF by analyzing the diverse spectrum of mineralized components with a polarizing microscope. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken which involved a detailed review of clinical, radiographic and histopathological features of 22 cases of POF, retrieved from departmental archives. These cases were subsequently stained with a histochemical stain (van Gieson) and observed under a polarizing microscope. Results: The study revealed that the most common age of occurrence was in second and third decades with a strong female predilection (73%), Interdental papilla of the maxillary anterior region was the most commonly afflicted site. About 90% cases showed no radiographic features.Histopathological examination showed that 73% cases consisted of a fibrocellular connective tissue stroma surrounding the mineralized masses. 50% mineralized masses comprised of woven bone, 18% showed combination of lamellar bone and cellular cementum, 18% showed only cementum (cellular and acellular), and remaining 13.6% exhibited a mixture of woven and lamellar bone under polarizing microscope. Conclusion: The study supports the theory that POF develops from cells of periodontal ligament (PDL)/periosteum as undifferentiated mesenchymal cells having an inherent proliferative potential to form bone or cementum, whose nature can be confirmed by polarizing microscope.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of a locally applied 8.5 percent nanostructured doxycycline (DOX) gel in preventing alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontal disease (EPD) in rats by using the tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: EPD was induced in 24 Wistar rats. Animals were treated with the doxycycline gel topically, immediately after EPD induction, and 3 times a day during 11 days. Four groups (n=6) were formed as follows: Naïve group (animals not subjected to EPD nor treated); non-treated (NT) group (animals subjected to EPD, but not treated); vehicle gel (VG) group (animals subjected to EPD and treated with topical gel vehicle); and DOX group (test group): animals subjected to EPD and treated with the 8.5 percent DOX gel. In order to investigate topographical changes in histological sections, a novel simple method was used for sample preparation, by etching sections from paraffin-embedded specimens with xylol. RESULTS: Comparing the AFM images, several grooves were observed on the surface of the alveolar bone and other periodontal structures in the NT and VG groups, with significantly greater depths when compared to the DOX group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Periodontal structures were brought into high relief confirming to be a simple and cost-effective method for AFM imaging with ultrastructural resolution. The doxycycline gel was able to afford periodontal surface preservation, with flatter grooves.

ABSTRACT

Odontoameloblastoma (OA) is a very rare mixed odontogenic neoplasm, characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of an ameloblastoma and a compound or complex odontoma in the same tumor mass. To date, less than 50 cases of OA and/or ameloblastic odontoma have been reported in the English dental literature. This neoplasm was called ameloblastic odontoma. The term OA was included in the 1971 WHO classification. In this study, we present two cases of OA, which we hope will contribute to the awareness and knowledge of surgeons regarding the existence of this odontogenic tumor so that patients having it may be treated and followed-up properly.

ABSTRACT

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. It usually exhibits as multiple radiopaque cemetum-like masses distributed throughout the jaws. Radiographically, FCOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. Computed tomography, because of its ability to give axial, sagittal, and frontal views, is useful in the evaluation of these lesions. This paper presents the case of a patient who was diagnosed with FCOD on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings.


A displasia cemento-óssea florida (DCOF) tem sido descrita como uma condição que afeta tipicamente os maxilares de mulheres negras de meia idade, geralmente exibindo massas radiopacas semelhantes ao cemento, distribuídas nos ossos maxilares. Radiograficamente, a DCOF apresenta-se como densas masas lobuladas, frequentemente distribuídas simetricamente em diversas regiões dos maxilares. A tomografia computadorizada, que oferece vistas axial, sagital e frontal, é útil na avaliação dessas lesões. Este artigo apresenta o caso de uma paciente em que a DCOF foi diagnoasticada com base nos achados clínicos e radiográficos.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) is a skeletal disorder associated with dental anomalies such as failure or delayed eruption of permanent teeth and multiple impacted supernumerary or permanent teeth. Absence of cellular cementum at the root apex is presumed to be one of the factors for failure or delayed eruption. The aim of this study was to analyze the root cementum of supernumerary(S) and permanent teeth (P) of a CCD patient and to compare the findings with those of normal individuals with special emphasis on delayed eruption. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ground sections of 12 extracted teeth (9S + 3P) of a CCD patient and 12 teeth of normal individuals (5S + 7P) were taken for the study. The sections were longitudinal and 50 microm thick. Root characteristics were recorded with the aid of a light microscope. RESULTS: The absence of apical cellular cementum, increased root resorption and increased percentage of the gap type of cemento-enamel (C-E) junctions were significant findings noted both in the supernumerary and permanent teeth of the CCD patient. CONCLUSION: The presumption of cellular cementum is essential for tooth eruption is not supported by the findings of the present study. Delayed exception could be attributed to various other factors like mechanical obstruction, reduced serum alkaline phosphatase levels etc. Also, the significance of the increased percentage of the gap type of C-E junctions and its role in tooth eruption has to be further evaluated.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated histopathologically different methods of experimental induction of periapical periodontitis. The radiographic and microbiological evaluations have been performed in a previous investigation. Fifty-seven root canals from dogs' teeth were assigned to 4 groups. In GI (n=14) and GII (n=14), the root canals were exposed to oral environment for 180 days; in GIII (n=14) and GIV (n=15) the root canals were exposed for 7 days and then the access cavities were restored and remained sealed for 53 days. The root apices of GI and GIII were perforated, whilst those of GII and GIV remained intact. After induction of periapical periodontitis, the dogs were euthanized. Serial sections were obtained and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Data of the histopathological evaluation were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests at 5 percent significance level. The inflammatory periapical reaction and resorption of mineralized tissues were less intense in GII than in the other groups (p<0.05). There was no histopathological difference among the experimentally induced periapical lesions in the teeth with coronal sealing. On the other hand, when coronal sealing was not performed, greater intensity of induced periapical periodontitis was observed in the teeth with apical perforation.


O objetivo deste estudo foi a avaliação de diferentes métodos de indução de lesões periapicais. Cinqüenta e seis canais radiculares de dentes de cães foram divididos em 4 grupos. No GI (n=14) e no GII (n=14), os canais radiculares foram expostos à cavidade bucal por 180 dias; no GIII (n=14) e no GIV (n=15) os canais radiculares foram expostos por 7 dias e então as aberturas coronárias foram restauradas e permaneceram seladas por 53 dias. Os ápices radiculares do GI e GIII foram perfurados, enquanto os do GII e do GIV foram mantidos intactos. Após indução das lesões periapicais, os cães foram mortos. Cortes seriados foram obtidos e corados por hematoxilina e eosina. Os dados da análise histopatológica foram submetidos ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn com nível de significância de 5 por cento. A reação inflamatória periapical e reabsorção dos tecidos mineralizados foram menos intensos no GII que nos demais grupos (p<0,05). Não houve diferença histopatológica entre as lesões periapicais induzidas nos dentes com selamento coronário. Por outro lado, quando o selamento coronário não foi realizado, maior intensidade de lesão periapical induzida foi observada nos dentes com perfuração apical.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of coronal leakage on the healing of dogs' periapical tissues after root canal filling, post space preparation and protection or not with a temporary sealer plug. Forty root canals of dogs' teeth were instrumented and filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and Endomethasone or CRCS sealers. After post space preparation, the remaining filling material was protected or not with a plug of temporary Coltosol sealer and exposed to the oral environment for 90 days. Thereafter, the animals were sacrificed and the specimens were removed and prepared for histomorphological and histobacteriological analysis. The findings revealed 35 percent of microbial leakage in the groups without plugs and 15 percent of leakage in the groups with plugs. Statistical analysis showed that the use of a Coltosol plug improved significantly the histomorphological results regardless of the type of root canal sealer (p=0.05) and that CRCS and Endomethasone sealers showed similar results (p>0.05).


O propósito deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da infiltração coronária no reparo dos tecidos periapicais após obturação dos canais radiculares, preparo para pino e proteção ou não de um "plug" de cimento temporário. Quarenta canais de dentes de cães foram instrumentados e obturados pela técnica da condensação lateral ativa com cones de guta-percha e os cimentos Endomethasone e CRCS. Após preparo para pino os remanescentes do material obturador foram protegidos ou não com um "plug" do cimento temporário Coltosol e expostos ao meio oral por 90 dias. Decorrido este período, os animais foram mortos e os espécimes foram removidos e preparados para análises histomorfológica e histobacteriológica. Foi observado 35 por cento de casos de infiltração bacteriana nos grupos sem "plug" e 15 por cento nos grupos com "plug". Concluiu-se estatisticamente que o "plug" de Coltosol foi eficiente no controle da infiltração coronária de microorganismos (p=0,05), e que os cimentos CRCS e Endomethasone apresentaram resultados semelhantes (p>0,05).

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo in vivo comparou os efeitos do agregado de trióxido mineral (MTA), IRM, Super EBA e OZE na consistência de massa de vidraceiro, usados como material para obturação retrógrada, no processo de reparo dos tecidos periapicais de dentes despulpados de cães submetidos à técnica de retrobturação convencional. Vinte e quatro pré-molares obtidos de três cães foram usados. Na primeira intervenção, os animais foram anestesiados, e a abertura coronária e a pulpectomia foram realizadas. Os canais radiculares foram mantidos abertos ao meio oral por 180 dias para induzir a formação de lesão periapical. Após a remoção cirúrgica das lesões com curetas, 2 mm apicais da raiz foram seccionados perpendicularmente ao longo eixo do dente e uma cavidade apical foi preparada com broca esférica em baixa-rotação. As cavidades ósseas foram irrigadas e secas, e as cavidades apicais obturadas com MTA, IRM, Super EBA e OZE na consistência de massa de vidraceiro. As cavidades ósseas foram passivamente preenchidas com sangue e os retalhos suturados. As aberturas coronárias foram limpas e seladas duplamente com OZE e amálgama. Após 180 dias, os animais foram sacrificados por super-dosagem de anestésico, a maxila e a mandíbula foram removidas e as peças processadas para análise histomorfológica. Os dados foram avaliados cegamente com base nos vários eventos histomorfológicos e os escores obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente usando o teste Kruskal Wallis. Nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante foi observada entre MTA, Super EBA e IRM (p>0,005). Entretanto, o OZE teve influência negativa significantemente maior no reparo apical (p<0,005). Estes resultados indicam que MTA, Super EBA e IRM tiveram efeitos histopatológicos similares entre eles e melhor performance que o OZE utilizado na consistência de massa de vidraceiro. Além disso, somente o MTA estimulou a deposição de tecido duro em contato direto com o material retrobturador, mesmo quando inserido sob condições críticas.

ABSTRACT

In cases of mass disasters associated with fire, identification of the burnt victims can be a real challenge to the forensic team. Teeth and their restorations play a significant role to aid in the identification process, as various restorative materials have varying resistance to high temperatures. A study was undertaken to evaluate the changes taking place on teeth restored with amalgam, composites, glass ionomers, heat cure acrylic, and ceramics. The specimens were placed in a furnace and heated to predetermined temperatures of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 degrees C and the changes were examined using a digital camera and stereomicroscope. Our observations show that while some restorations were able to withstand elevated temperatures, others were reduced to an unrecognizable mass at relatively low temperatures.

ABSTRACT

Posterior composite resins have gained considerable importance over last few years. However, improper placement techniques continue to be a prime cause of failure of these restorations. This study was done to compare the microleakage at the tooth restoration interface extending below cementoenamel junction when posterior composite restorations were placed directly in the cavity or when placed over a glass ionomer cement liner, both chemically cured and light cured. The results have shown that light cured glass ionomer when used as a liner under a composite restoration used below gingival cementum/dentin margin has the best sealing capability.

ABSTRACT

Cento e sessenta dentes com e sem hipercementose foram analisados macroscopicamente, ao estereomicroscópio sem e com diafanizaçäo e na microscopia óptica de luz, com a finalidade de estudar a anatomia externa e interna do terço apical. Verificou-se que: 1) A hipercementose aumenta consideravelmente o número de canais secundários, canais acessórios e deltas apicais. 2) As modificaçöes na morfologia interna do terço apical dos dentes comprometidos näo säo passíveis de visualizaçäo e identificaçäo radiográfica. 3) O canal principal na grande maioria dos dentes com hipercementose apresenta-se constricto no terço apical associado à mudança da trajetória original ou a canais secundários, acessórios e deltas apicais. 4) O tipo morfológico mais comum de hipercementose dá à raiz a forma de clava. A forma localizada de hipercementose apresenta-se com considerável menor frequência. A forma de boca de manga de camisa encontra-se apenas eventualmente. 5) O padräo morfológico e aposicional do cemento constituinte da hipercementose assemelha-se ao cemento em dentes normais quando observado na microscopia óptica de luz, assim como sua superfície externa. Após estas verificaçöes, concluiu-se que na hipercementose o clínico de várias especialidades, como o cirurgiäo, o ortodontista e especialmente o endodontista, deve considerar a modificaçäo anatômica externa e interna a que foi submetido o dente portador, pois sua forma radicular tende a ser retentiva, o corpo radicular mais espesso e o terço apical mais rico em canalículos e deltas apicais associado à constricçäo e mudança direcional do canal principal

ABSTRACT

Se estudia la respuesta inflamatoria experimental a un cemento de conductos sin eugenol "Endobalsam", en relación con un cemento tipo Grossman, con eugenol. Se utilizaron 67 ratas Holtzman, machos de tres meses de edad promedio, de 200 a 300 g. de peso, divididos en tres grupos. En los grupos A y B se implantaron en el tejido celular subcutáneo de la región dorsal de la rata, 2 tubos de polietileno conteniendo los cementos de prueba. Al grupo C se le implantó tubos vacíos de control. Los animales fueron sacrificados a las 48 horas, 15 y 60 días. La reacción tisular inflamatoria fue analizada histológica e histométricamente bajo microscopía de luz. Los resultados mostraron una reacción inflamatoria severa a las 48 horas siendo menor en el Grupo Control. A los 15 días, la reacción inicial sólo se mantuvo en el Grupo del Cemento Grossman con presencia deleucocitos polimorfonucleares. La reacción inflamatoria mostró un decrecimiento en el tiempo y pareció resuelta a los 60 días. Teniendose en cuenta la evolución más rápida y favorable de los tejidos al cemento Endobalsam, pareció razonable considerarlo como un posible material de obturación de conductos radiculares.
