ABSTRACT

RESUMO Introdução: O uso de próteses totais tem impacto na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal e os idosos são uma parcela da população a ser pesquisada sob essa perspectiva. Objetivo: Avaliar a autopercepção do impacto do uso de próteses totais na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de idosos institucionalizados. Métodos: Participaram 20 idosos do Lar dos Idosos Recanto do Tarumã, Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil. Foram avaliados aspectos demográficos, econômicos, de hábitos e clínicos, juntamente com aplicação do questionário Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index. Os dados foram submetidos à análise descritiva e bivariada (Teste do Qui-Quadrado), com significância de 5 porcento. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 75,2 anos (DP= 8,8) e o tempo médio de uso de prótese foi de 27,9 anos (DP= 18,5). Renda inferior a um salário mínimo foi indicada por 80,0 porcento, e visitas ao cirurgião-dentista pela última vez há mais de um ano, por 70,0 porcento. Os piores relatos foram referentes à mastigação, representados por problemas para mastigar alimentos e desconforto ao comer, com 25 porcento de respostas positivas em cada questão; a soma das frequências das respostas "às vezes" e "sempre" quanto à insatisfação ou à infelicidade com a aparência da boca foi reportada 60 porcento dos pesquisados. A retenção insatisfatória da prótese inferior se deu em 50,0 porcento casos, enquanto os problemas com oclusão estiveram presentes também em metade da amostra. Os defeitos estiveram presentes em 70,0 porcento das próteses superiores e 45,0 porcento das inferiores. Não foi encontrada associação significativa (p> 0,05) entre as variáveis independentes e o desfecho. Conclusões: Os idosos avaliados, independentemente das condições das próteses totais, relataram qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal satisfatória(AU)


RESUMEN Introducción: El uso de prótesis totales tiene un impacto en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud bucal, y los ancianos son parte de la población que se investigará desde esta perspectiva. Objetivo: Evaluar la autopercepción del impacto del uso de prótesis totales en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud bucal de ancianos institucionalizados. Métodos: Participaron 20 ancianos de "Lar dos Idosos Recanto do Tarumã", Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil. Los aspectos demográficos, económicos, de hábitos y clínicos se evaluaron junto con la aplicación del cuestionario Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index.

Los peores informes estaban relacionados con la masticación, representados por problemas para masticar los alimentos y la incomodidad al comer, con el 25 por ciento de respuestas positivas en cada pregunta. La suma de las frecuencias de las respuestas "a veces" y "siempre" sobre la insatisfacción o la infelicidad con la apariencia de la boca se informó en el 60 por ciento de los encuestados. La retención insatisfactoria de la prótesis inferior se produjo en el 50 por ciento de los casos, mientras que la oclusión también presentó problemas en la mitad de la muestra. Los defectos estuvieron presentes en el 70,0 por ciento de las prótesis superiores y en el 45,0 por ciento de las inferiores. No se encontró asociación significativa (p> 0,05) entre las variables independientes y el desenlace. Conclusiones: Los ancianos evaluados, independientemente de las condiciones de las prótesis totales, informaron una calidad de vida relacionada con la salud bucal satisfactoria(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: The use of complete dentures has an impact on oral health-related quality of life. Elderly people are the population sector to be researched into from this perspective. Objective: Evaluate the self-perception of the impact of the use of complete dentures on the oral health-related quality of life of institutionalized elderly people. Methods: The study sample was 20 elderly people from Lar dos Idosos Recanto do Tarumã, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Evaluation of demographic and economic details, habits and clinical aspects was based on the information collected with the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index questionnaire. The data were subjected to descriptive and bivariate analysis (Chi-squared test), with a significance of 5 percent. Results: Mean age was 75.2 (SD = 8.8) years and mean time of denture use was 27.9 (SD = 18.5) years. Income was below minimum wage in 80.0 percent of the participants, whereas the last visit to the dentist had occurred more than a year ago in 70.0 percent. The worst reports had to do with chewing, represented by problems to chew food and discomfort when eating, with 25 percent positive answers to each question. The sum of the frequencies of the answers "sometimes" and "always" about dissatisfaction with or unhappiness about the appearance of the mouth was reported by 60 percent of the respondents. Unsatisfactory retention of the lower denture occurred in 50.0 percent of the cases, whereas occlusion problems were present in half of the sample. Defects were present in 70.0 percent of the upper dentures and 45.0 percent of the lower dentures. No significant association (p> 0.05) was found between independent variables and outcome. Conclusions: The elderly people evaluated, regardless of the conditions of their complete dentures, reported satisfactory oral health-related quality of life(AU)

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo piloto foi comparar a eficácia de um reembasador acrílico macio com ou sem diacetato de clorexidina a 1% no tratamento de pacientes com estomatite protética. As hipóteses testadas foram: (I) o eritema seria melhorado (IIa): a contagem de unidades formadoras de colônias seria reduzida, (IIb): a predominância de um tipo morfológico de Candida seria correlacionada com características clínicas e, (IIc) se uma concentração inibitória mínima do antimicrobiano, poderia ser capaz de atuar sobre o crescimento do fungo. Dezesseis pacientes desdentados totais, portadores de prótese e com estomatite protética foram distribuídos aleatoriamente para os grupos controle (reembasamento com Trusoft) e grupo teste (reembasamento com Trusoft contendo 1% de clorexidina) sendo acompanhados por exames clínicos e laboratoriais por 14 dias. Os parâmetros analisados nas duas consultas de acompanhamento foram: avaliação clínica (exame e fotos) e avaliações microbiológicas (esfregaços e culturas de palato e prótese total). Este estudo foi um ensaio clínico randomizado, duplo-cego,controlado.Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a superfície do eritema foi significativamente reduzida, mas não diferiu significativamente entre os dois grupos (P> 0,05), assim como a redução da contagem de Candida durante o tratamento entre os grupos (P> 0,05). O tipo de Candida não pôde ser correlacionado ao estágio clínico alcançado. Os resultados dos testes de concentração inibitória mínima, revelaram que uma concentração de 0,05 µg/ml de clorexidina já é capaz de inibir o crescimento de 85% das cepas de testadas.A hipótese principal foi confirmada, o que pode ser interpretado como uma remissão clínica acelerada em ambas as terapias propostas. Embora as hipóteses secundárias não tenham sido confirmadas, a persistência de Candida pode ser apenas a colonização, e a plasticidade morfológica de Candida parece ser fortemente influenciada pela virulência fúngica. Sendo assim, os resultados da análise de concentração inibitória mínima sugerem que uma concentração subinibitória de clorexidina possa estar atuando na virulência da Candida spp. No entanto, não foram encontrados resultados para confirmar a eficácia clínica do diacetato de clorexidina a 1% incorporado ao reembasador macio testado no tratamento da estomatite protética.


The aim of this pilot study was to compare the efficacy of rebase using soft acrylic liner with or without 1% chlorhexidine diacetate in denture stomatitis patients. It was hypothesised that: (I) erythema would be improved (IIa): colony forming unit count would be reduced, (IIb): the predominance of a morphological type of Candida would be correlated with clinical features and, (IIc) a minimum inhibitory concentration of the antimicrobial, could be able to act on the growth of the fungus.Sixteen patients who wearing removable dentures and diagnosed with denture stomatitis were randomly assigned to the control groups (rebase with resilient liner) and test group (rebase with resilient liner containing 1% of chlorhexidine), followed by clinical and laboratory tests for 14 days. The analyzed parameters at two follow-up were: clinical evaluation (examination and photos) and microbiological evaluations (smears and cultures of palates and dentures). This study was a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. The results obtained showed that the erythema surface was significantly reduced, but did not differ significantly between the two groups (P> 0.05), as did the reduction of colony forming unit during treatment between the groups (P> 0.05) . The Candida type could not be correlated to the achieved clinical stage. The minimum inhibitory concentration test results showed that a concentration of 0,05 µg/ml chlorhexidine is already able to inhibit the growth of 85% of the tested strains. The primary hypothesis was confirmed, which can be interpreted as an accelerated clinical remission in both proposed therapies. Although secondary hypotheses have not been confirmed, Candida's persistence may be just colonization, and the morphological plasticity of Candida seems to be strongly influenced by fungal virulence. Thus, the results of the minimum inhibitory concentration analysis suggest that a subinhibitory concentration of chlorhexidine may be acting on the virulence of Candida spp. However, no results were found to confirm the clinical efficacy of 1% chlorhexidine diacetate incorporated into the soft liner in denture stomatitis.

ABSTRACT

Aim Describe the location of traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa that develop after the installation of complete dentures, as well as to quantify the number of post-operative controls that are required. A descriptive study was conducted by examining 84 patients who attended the dental center of Universidad de Los Andes, San Bernardo, during the period from July 2012 to July 2013. A sample of 120 edentulous patients was obtained. After the fabrication and installation of the complete dentures, at least 3 post-operative controls were performed and the location of oral lesions was recorded. Documentation of the association between the patient's clinical variables and the appearance of oral lesions during the first 3 controls was performed using a logistic regression. Results For maxillary dentures, 5 post-operative visits were made and 6 controls for mandible dentures. In the upper jaw the anatomical areas of higher incidence of traumatic injuries were: canine fossa (23.9%), average bridle (23.1%), and distobuccal sulcus (20.1%). In the lower jaw, the highest number of lesions were recorded on the anterior lingual flank (16.5%), anterior and posterior lingual flank (13.4%), and distobuccal sulcus (12.8%). A significant association was observed between subjects who reported consumption of cholesterol-lowering medications and the development of traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa (OR: 0.25 and 95% CI: 0.055-0.939). The installation of complete dentures does not determine that the treatment has ended. Post-operative controls are needed to assess areas of erythema and ulceration.


Objetivo Describir la ubicación y frecuencia de las lesiones traumáticas de la mucosa oral que se generan después de la instalación de las prótesis dentales completas, y cuantificar el número de controles postoperatorios necesarios. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, examinando a 84 pacientes que asistieron al centro dental de la Universidad de Los Andes, durante el período comprendido entre de julio de 2012 y julio del de 2013. Se obtuvo una muestra de 120 pacientes edéntulos. Después de la fabricación e instalación de las dentaduras completas se realizaron por lo menos 3 controles postoperatorios y la localización de las lesiones orales fue registrada. La documentación de la asociación entre las variables clínicas de los pacientes y la aparición de lesiones orales durante los 3 primeros controles fue realizado por medio de una regresión logística. Resultados Para prótesis maxilar 5 visitas de controles postoperatorios fueron realizados y 6 para mandibulares. En el maxilar superior las zonas de mayor incidencia de lesiones traumáticas fueron: fosa canina (23,9%), flanco medio (23,1%) y distovestibular del surco (20,1%). En la mandíbula se registraron mayor frecuencia de las lesiones en el flanco lingual anterior (16,5%), anterior y posterior (13,4%) y distovestibular del surco (12,8%). Una asociación significativa se observó entre los sujetos que reportaron consumo de medicamentos reductores del colesterol y el desarrollo de las lesiones traumáticas de la mucosa oral (o: 0,25 e IC: 0,055-0,939). La instalación de las prótesis dentales completas no determina que el tratamiento haya terminado. Los controles postoperatorios son necesarios para evaluar las áreas de eritema y ulceración.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of clinical wear on the incidence of temporomandibular disorders in patients with complete dentures


Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on two groups; group 1 [30 patients] received complete upper and lower dentures with teeth made of heat-cured acrylic resin, and group 2 [29 patients] received complete upper and lower dentures with teeth fabricated of porcelain. The occurrence and clinical examination of temporomandibular disorders were evaluated using Helkimo anamnestic dysfunction index [Ai] and Helkimo clinical dysfunction index [Di], respectively. Clinical wear of denture teeth was estimated by the assessment of wear depth using the mean differences between tracing images of lingual cusps at each follow-up. The patients were followed up at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for assessment of clinical wear and incidence of temporomandibular disorders


Results: The acrylic resin group was subjected to significantly higher wear than the porcelain group at 12, 18 and 24 months of follow-up. The incidence of temporomandibular disorders was also significantly higher in the acrylic resin group than in the porcelain group at 18 and 24 months of follow-up


Conclusion: There was higher incidence of temporomandibular disorders among patients who wore complete dentures with teeth made of acrylic resin than in patients who wore complete dentures with porcelain teeth

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As próteses totais visam conservar a função do sistema estomatognático do paciente totalmente edêntulo. Porém, na mucosa bucal podem aparecer manifestações cuja principal causa são as próteses totais mal adaptadas. Objetivo: o presente estudo objetiva investigar a proliferação tecidual das lesões causadas por próteses totais removíveis através do método de impregnação pela prata (AgNOR), com isso facilitando o tratamento e a determinação do prognóstico das lesões a serem estudadas. Metodologia: foram selecionados todos os casos das lesões bucais mais comumente associadas à utilização de próteses totais registradas no Serviço de Diagnóstico Histopatológico do ICB­UPF nos anos de 2012 e 2013, tendo sido encontrados 5 casos de granuloma piogênico, 5 casos de hiperplasia de fundo de sulco, 5 casos de fibroma de irritação e 2 casos de fibroma ossificante periférico. Os cortes histopatológicos das lesões foram impregnados pela prata (método AgNOR), tendo sido obtido, com auxílio do programa Image Tool®, o número de NORs de 100 células de cada caso, resultando numa média de NORs em cada grupo de lesões. Resultados: os resultados obtidos foram tabulados em planilha eletrônica e a comparação do número médio de NORs de cada grupo foi realizado por meio do teste estatístico ANOVA, 5% de significância. Resultados: o grupo das hiperplasias de fundo de sulco mostrou média de 2,41 NORs por núcleo, o grupo dos granulo mas piogênicos mostrou 2,44, o fibroma de irritação 2,22, e o fibroma ossificante periférico mostrou média de 1,89 NORs por núcleo celular, diferindo estatisticamente esta lesão das anteriormente mencionadas (p = 0,002). Conclusão: o fibroma ossificante periférico mostrou ser a lesão causada por prótese total removível com a menor atividade proliferativa celular. Tal estudo precisa ser complementado por futuros estudos clínicos.


Introduction: the total dentures are aimed at preserving the function of the stomatognathic system of the fully edentulous patient. However, in the oral mucosa may appear manifestations whose main cause are the totally unsuitable dentures. Objective: this study aims to investigate the proliferation of tissue lesions caused by removable dentures by impregnation method for silver (AgNOR), thereby facilitating the treatment and determining the prognosis of the lesions to be studied. Methodology: we selected all cases of oral lesions most commonly associated with the use of dentures recorded in Histopathological Diagnostic Service ICB-UPF in the years 2012 and 2013, having been found 5 cases of pyogenic granuloma, 5 cases of hyperplasia, 5 cases of irritation fibroma and 2 cases of peripheral ossifying fibroma. Histopathological lesions cuts were impregnated by silver (AgNOR method), having been obtained with the aid of the program Image Tool®, the number of NOR cells 100 in each case, resulting in an average NORs in every group of lesions. Results: the results were tabulated in a spreadsheet and comparing the average number of NORs of each group was conducted through ANOVA, 5% significance level. Results: The group of hyperplasias showed average of 2.41 NORs per nucleus, the group of pyogenic granulomas showed 2.44, the irritation fibroma 2.22, and peripheral ossifying fibroma showed average of 1.89 NORs for cell nucleus, differing significantly from that of the aforementioned lesions (p = 0.002). Conclusion: the peripheral ossifying fibroma proved the injury caused by removable dentures with lower cell proliferative activity. This study needs to be complemented by future clinical studies.

ABSTRACT

A efetividade de serviços de saúde pode ser avaliada pela ótica da qualidade de vida. Assim, este estudo avaliou o serviço de reabilitação a partir das dificuldades diárias associadas a próteses totais convencionais (PTC), produzidas entre 2007 e 2009, pelos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) de uma mesorregião do Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Realizou-se um estudo seccional com 138 usuários dessas PTC, coletando-se os dados por exame clínico e questionário baseado no indicador Oral Impacts on Daily Performances. Utilizaram-se os testes de Fisher e Qui-quadrado para testar associação das variáveis. Como resultado, 42% da amostra relatou dificuldades, relacionadas à PTC, para executar atividades bucais. Tais dificuldades foram mais frequentes e intensas nas atividades de comer, falar e sorrir. No total, 58,7% da amostra não tinha dentes funcionais. Quanto à avaliação clínica das PTC, 57,2% das superiores e 9,2% das inferiores estavam satisfatórias. Houve associação da presença de dificuldades e a ausência de dentes funcionais, mas não com PTC inadequadas. Assim, os CEO foram efetivos na reabilitação com PTC superior, já que as dificuldades encontradas integram limitações próprias a tal reabilitação. Por outro lado, o custo benefício da reabilitação inferior deve ser reavaliado.


The effectiveness of health services can be evaluated from the quality of life (QOL) standpoint. Thus, this study evaluated rehabilitation services using full conventional dentures (FCD) of Specialized Dental Care Centers (SDCC) in Rio Grande do Norte (RN) regarding daily difficulties associated with these dentures made between 2007 and 2009. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 138 users of these FCD, collecting data by clinical examination and a questionnaire based on the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index. The Fisher and chi-square tests were used to test the association between the variables. The result was that 42% of users reported difficulties in executing oral activities due to FCDs. These difficulties were more frequent and intense in the activities of eating, speaking and smiling. In general, 58.7% of users did not have functional teeth. In relation to the clinical evaluation of FCDs, 57.2% of upper and 9.2% of lower FCDs were satisfactory. There was an association between difficulty and the absence of functional teeth, but not with inadequate FCDs. Thus, the SDCCs were effective in upper FCD rehabilitation, since the difficulties encountered are within the standard limitations of this type of rehabilitation. On the other hand, the cost-benefit of rehabilitation of lower FCDs must be evaluated.

ABSTRACT

There is scant information regarding the multifactorial aetiology of denture stomatitis [DS] in the world and, despite its frequency, associated factors are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors that may be associated with this lesion. A total of 70 edentulous patients, all wearing removable dentures, were divided into two groups. The test group comprised 43 patients with DS and the control group comprised 27 subjects with clinically healthy palatal mucosa. A thorough history-taking and physical examination were carried out; the subjects also answered a questionnaire. The serum level of vitamin A for each subject was assayed from a blood sample taken after the examination. This study showed a significant relationship between the incidence of DS and three major factors: denture age [in terms of years], the practitioner manufacturing the dentures [general dental practitioner versus dental hygienist], and the nightlong wearing of dentures. Also, the vitamin A serum level was low in 94.29% of all subjects [cases and controls]. Although many predisposing conditions were related to this situation, the most important risk factor was the continuous use of the dentures

ABSTRACT

To determine the frequency of oral lesions related to gender, age, the length of time of denture usage, the balance of denture and cleaning methods. 106 patients who had old complete dentures and came to Dental Department to have new complete dentures were registered in the study. Frequency in relation to different factors was estimated. Cleaning methods and frequency were divided into 3 subgroups respectively as tooth brush and tooth paste/soap, denture cleansing tablets and sodium carbonate and 3 times a day, every day, every 3 days and once a week. Distributions of oral lesions in different areas were noted. The data obtained were evaluated by one-way ANOVA u test, student t test. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. In 106 patients [51 men and 55 women], 37-80 years of age with a mean age of 60.28 years, oral lesions were present more as the age increases, the more lesions were observed In female patients and associated with unstable dentures. The patients displayed statistically significant difference in presence of oral lesions with the method of cleaning and the way the patients used their dentures. The complete denture wearers should be educated about the importance of periodic examination due to changes of supporting tissues and early detection of mucosal lesions to maintain their oral and denture hygiene in optimum level

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the efficacy of NitrAdineTM-based disinfecting cleaning tablets for complete denture, in terms of denture biofilm removal and antimicrobial action. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty complete denture wearers (14 men and 26 women) with a mean age of 62.3±9.0 years were randomly assigned to two groups and were instructed to clean their dentures according to two methods: brushing (control) - 3 times a day with denture brush and tap water following meals; brushing and immersion (Experimental) - brushing the denture 3 times a day with denture brush and tap water following meals and immersion of the denture in NitrAdineTM-based denture tablets (Medical InterporousTM). Each method was used for 21 days. Denture biofilm was disclosed by a 1 percent neutral red solution and quantified by means of digital photos taken from the internal surface before and after the use of the product. Microbiological assessment was conducted to quantify Candida sp. RESULTS: An independent t-test revealed a significant lower biofilm percentage for the experimental group (4.7, 95 percent CI 2.4 to 7.9) in comparison with the control group (mean 37.5, 95 percent CI 28.2 to 48.1) (t38=7.996, p<0.001). A significant reduction of yeast colony forming units could be found after treatment with Medical InterporousTM denture tablets as compared to the control group (Mann-Whitney test, Z=1.90; p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The present findings suggest that NitrAdineTM-based disinfecting cleaning tablets are efficient in removal of denture biofilm. In addition, a clear antimicrobial action was demonstrated. Therefore, they should be recommended as a routine denture maintenance method for the prevention of the development of microbial biofilm induced denture stomatitis.

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (epulis fissuratum) (IFH) and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) are oral mucosal diseases caused by ill-fitting denture wearing. A study was carried out on a group of Turkish people consisted of 131 female and 39 male complete denture wearers (n= 170) distributed in two age groups (30-60 and 60-80 years old). The analysis of data collected from patients showed that while the incidence of IFH was higher in women than in men, the incidence of IPH was similar. Most lesions were found in the 30-60 year-old group. The incidence of lesions increased as the denture wearing period increased. Soft tissue growth was the main complaint of the patients with IFH and IPH. In the maxilla, the incidence of IFH was higher than IPH. There was also a significant difference between the distribution of the lesion types in the jaws. There were a larger number of lesions in the maxilla compared to the mandible and most IFH lesions were located in the anterior region of the jaws.


A hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória (epulis fissuratum) (HFI) e a hiperplasia papilar inflamatória (HPI) são doenças da mucosa causadas por próteses mal-ajustadas. Foi feito um estudo num grupo de pessoas, na Turquia, composto por 131 mulheres e 39 homens (n=170) usuários de próteses totais. O grupo foi subdividido em duas faixas etárias (30 a 60 e 60 a 80 anos). A análise dos dados coletados dos pacientes mostrou que a incidência de HFI foi mais alta entre as mulheres, ao passo que a incidência de HPI foi similar em ambos os sexos. A maioria das lesões foi encontrada no grupo indivíduos de 30 a 60 anos. A incidência das lesões aumentou com o tempo de uso da prótese. A queixa principal dos pacientes com HFI e HPI foi o aparecimento de tecidos moles. A incidência de HFI foi maior do que HPI, na maxila. Houve também diferença significativa de distribuição dos tipos de lesão nos maxilares. Houve maior número de lesões na maxila, em comparação com a mandíbula e a maioria das lesões HFI estava localizada na parte anterior dos maxilares.

ABSTRACT

Some 50% patients wearing complete dentures [CD] develop denture related stomatitis [DRS]. Candida albicans are the predominant infective organisms causing DRS. Several approaches have been recommended to treat DRS in elderly but the outcome is unpredictable because of poor patients' compliance. The effect of the application of tissue conditioner, on Candida albicans colonies reduction in DRS patients. This was an interventional, Quasi Experimental study of one year duration from January 2007 to December 2007. Using a purposive convenience sampling technique, 36 DRS patients wearing maxillary CDs were selected. In each subject, a layer of a polymeric resin based tissue conditioning material was applied to the fitting surface of their maxillary complete denture. Comparison of candida colonies counts was made that were cultivated from swabs obtained from the palatal mucosa of patients before and 3 days after the application of the tissue conditioner. The reduction in the number of Candida colonies on the palatal mucosa was significant [p<.05]. Treatment of DRS with tissue conditioner was effective against Candida albicans especially in non-compliant patients

ABSTRACT

To compare the level of patients satisfaction with replacement complete dentures fabricated by copy denture technique versus conventional technique. This was a Quasi experimental comparative study [Phase 2 trial]. Conducted from May 2005 to May 2006 at the Department of Prosthodontics, AFID, Rawalpindi. First 60 patients seeking replacement complete dentures were registered and divided into two groups. Group -A patients were given dentures fabricated by copy denture technique and Group-B patients were given dentures fabricated by conventional denture fabrication technique. The patients satisfaction level was assessed after 6 weeks of denture insertion with the help of a questionnaire. Questions about appearance, looseness of dentures, ability to chew food, ability to taste foods, speech and comfort of the patients were asked from each of the patients. Each of the questions had three answers [a] Good [b] Fair and [c] Poor. Good was given a scoring rate of 3, fair a scoring rate of 2 and poor a scoring rate of 1. The maximum scoring rate was 18 and minimum was 6. The patients who had a rate of 15 to 18 were categorized as highly satisfied, from 11-14 were categorized as fairly satisfied and from 06 to 10 were categorized as poorly satisfied. In group A, 10 patients [33%] were highly satisfied, 11 patients [36%] were fairly satisfied and 7 patients [23%] were poorly satisfied. Chi-square test was applied for the comparison of satisfaction level of the two groups. Differences in satisfaction scores between the subjects belonging to the two groups were statistically significant. The p value was 0.002. Copy denture technique is a valid, biologically acceptable and cost effective treatment modality

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar, comparativamente, a prevalência de desordem temporomandibular, em relação aos fatores etiológicos, tais como gênero, faixa etária e condições clínicas apresentadas pelas próteses totais, de acordo com os índices anamnésico (Ai) e clínico (Di) de disfunção, desenvolvidos por Helkimo, em pacientes portadores de próteses totais. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por noventa pacientes institucionalizados, portadores de próteses totais bimaxilares, selecionados aleatoriamente, com idade média de 67,2 anos. Os dados coletados foram tabulados e os testes estatísticos de Kruskal-Wallis e Qui-quadrado aplicados, adotando-se o nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante da prevalência de desordem temporomandibular em relação às idades das próteses totais atuais, espaços funcionais livres, desgastes das superfícies oclusais dos dentes artificiais e condições de retenção e estabilidade das próteses totais superiores e inferiores, de acordo com ambos os índices. Conclusão: Os pacientes que usavam próteses totais em condições clínicas adequadas apresentaram menos sinais e sintomas de desordem temporomandibular do que os pacientes que usavam próteses totais em condições clínicas insatisfatórias.


Objective: The aim of this study was to make a comparative evaluation of the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder in complete denture wearers, with regard to the etiological factors, such as gender, age, and complete dentures clinical conditions, according to the anamnestic (Ai) and clinical (Di) dysfunction index, developed by Helkimo. Methods: The randomized sample was composed of 90 institutionalized patients and bimaxillary complete denture wearers, with a mean age of 67.2 years, who were included in this study. The collected data were tabulated and the Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square statistical tests were applied, at the level of significance of 5% (p<0.05). Results: Statistically significant difference in the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder was observed with regard to the ages of the current complete dentures, free-way space, wear of the occlusal surfaces of the artificial teeth, and the conditions of retention and stability of the maxillary and mandibular complete dentures, according to both the indexes. Conclusion: The patients who wore complete dentures in adequate clinical conditions presented fewer signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder than the patients who wore complete dentures in poor clinical conditions.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Pacientes portadores de rótese total maxilar contra prótese parcial removível de extremo livre mandibular apresentam sinais clínicos específicos que constituem a Síndrome de Kelly, desse modo, avaliou-se a revalência da Síndrome de Kelly em 33 pacientes submetidos a tratamento com prótese parcial removível de extremo livre. Métodos: O exame clínico foi direcionado para detectar a presença dos sinais: reabsorção óssea na região anterior da maxila; hiperplasia papilar palatina; aumento volumétrico das tuberosidades; extrusão dos dentes naturais inferiores e reabsorção óssea severa abaixo da base da prótese parcial removível de extremo livre mandibular. Os achados clínicos foram correlacionados com a presença ou não de desordem temporomandibular através da Escala Anamnésica de Fonseca. Resultados: Observou-se que nenhum paciente apresentou todos os sinais (reabsorção óssea na região anterior da maxila, hiperplasia papilar palatina, aumento volumétrico das tuberosidades, extrusão dos dentes naturais inferiores anteriores e reabsorção óssea acentuada abaixo da base de resina da prótese parcial removível mandibular), com 84,85% apresentando entre dois e quatro sinais, e 15,15% apresentando somente um sinal específico da Síndrome. Conclusão: Observou-se que nenhum paciente apresentou a Síndrome de Kelly caracterizada pelo agrupamento dos cinco sinais, entretanto, todos apresentaram os sinais de forma isolada ou parcialmente agrupados e 89% apresentou algum grau de desordem temporomandibular.


Objectives: Maxillary total denture users in opposition to the mandibular removable partial dentures ones present clinical signs which are called Combination Syndrome. This syndrome is potentially destructive to the supporting structures. Thus the present study evaluated the prevalence of the CS in 33 patients submitted to treatment with these dentures. Methods: The clinical exam was guided to detect the CS signs and the clinical data were correlated with either the presence or absence of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD), in accordance with the Fonseca Anamnetic Scale.Results: It was observed that no patient presented all the signals as follows: bone absorption in the previous region of the jaw, papillary hyperplasia of the palate, volumetric increase of the tubers, extrusion of previous inferior natural teeth and severe bone resorption below the resin base of mandibular removable partial denture. It was also observed that 84.85%presented between two and four signals and 15.15% showed only one specific signal of the Syndrome. Conclusion: The results showed that no patient presented the CS with the 5 signs. However, all the patients presented the signs isolated or partially grouped, with 89% presenting some CMD degree.

ABSTRACT

A placa oclusal constitui um recurso freqüentemente utilizado no tratamento das disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM) e dores orofaciais, inclusive em pacientes portadores de próteses totais. Considerando a participação ativa dos lßbios nas funções do sistema estomatognßtico, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência das placas oclusais na atividade eletromiogrßfica (EMG) das duas porções - superior (OBS) e inferior (OBI) do músculo orbicular da boca, durante sucção de iogurte. A EMG foi realizada antes e 70 dias após o uso destes aparelhos, em 8 pacientes edêntulos, portadores de prótese total e que apresentavam sinais e sintomas de DTM. O sinal mioelétrico foi coletado por um eletromiógrafo (*Lynx Eletronics), com filtro tipo Butterworth (20-500 Hz) com ganho de 100 vezes e placa conversora A/D. Os sinais foram captados por eletrodos de superfície de Ag/AgCl (Medi Trace) e registrados por meio do software Aqdados instalado em um computador Ibm-pc 486 DX2. O sinal EMG foi processado pelo software Matlab® e as médias das amplitudes não normalizadas (ANN) foram testadas estatisticamente pelo teste Mann-Whitney (p < 0,05). Os valores encontrados das ANN no pré-tratamento foram de 60,11 ± 4.28 e 86,15 ± 6.15 μV e no pós-tratamento de 106,0 ± 4.80 e 103,71 ± 3.83 μV para as porções OBS e OBI, respectivamente. A diferença estatística verificada foi altamente significativa (p < 0,0001) quando comparada à mesma porção muscular antes e após o uso das placas. Os resultados deste estudo, nas condições experimentais utilizadas, permitem concluir que o uso das placas oclusais promoveu um aumento significativo da atividade elétrica do orbicular da boca.

ABSTRACT

Trata-se de um estudo exploratório descritivo realizado numa amostra de 300 idosos internos de seis casas de repouso, dos quais 100 participaram da pesquisa, por serem portadores de próteses totais (N=300). O objetivo foi avaliar e detectar a prevalência de manifestações estomatológicas em conseqüência do uso das próteses e a relação das manifestações com o estado de conservação e os hábitos decorrentes do uso das mesmas. Houve prevalência de hiperemia traumática (30%), estomatite protética (29%), hiperplasia fibroepitelial inflamatória(13%) e hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória por câmara de sucção (12%). Todas as manifestações relacionavam-se com o estado de carência de higienização da cavidade bucal e das próteses, confecção e o tempo das mesmas. 76% dos idosos informaram ter o hábito de dormir com as próteses

ABSTRACT

Reabsorção óssea da região da pré-maxila e rebordos alveolares posteriores mandibulares; perda do vedamento posterior da prótese total maxilar; hiperemia ou inflamação da mucosa palatina e desarranjos articulares são os principais sinais e sintomas que manifestam os pacientes com a “síndrome combinação”, caracterizada pela necessidade de prótese total maxilar opondo-se a uma prótese parcial removível de Classe I ou II mandibular. Todos esses sintomas tornam-se mais evidentes principalmente quando constrói-se apenas a prótese total maxilar. E são de difícil solução com apenas os procedimentos tradicionais. Por outro lado, tratamentos mais sofisticados não se enquadram na realidade econômica da maioria dos nossos pacientes. Diante do exposto, fizemos um levantamento de algumas características dos pacientes atendidos na clínica de prótese da Unipar e a principal conclusão é preocupante: de cada cinco pacientes, um apresenta a síndrome. Para diminuir as conseqüências negativas deste tratamento, sugerimos alguns procedimentos que não o tornam inviável economicamente: técnica de moldagem diferenciada, rigor no estabelecimento da oclusão, depois de o articulador ter sido ajustado com os registros intermaxilares e controle periódico

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de investigar, em idosos usuários de prótese totais, a presença de problemas relacionados com a mastigaçäo durante a ingestäo de certos alimentos. Foram entrevistadas 103 pessoas idosas a partir de 60 anos, que freqüentaram o Centro de Reabilitaçäo do SUS da cidade de Araraquara - SP - Brasil, no primeiro semestre do ano de 19999. Pelos resultados constatou-se que 40 por cento das pessoas possuíam dificuldades mastigatórias, tendo 60,2 por cento declarado apresentar limitaçöes ao mastigar certos tipos específicos de alimentos. Entre os entrevistados, 19,4 por cento evitavam carnes; 15,5 por cento, verduras cruas; 8 por cento, legumes crus; e 7,8 por cento, frutas. Apesar das dificuldades mastigatórias relatadas, 70,9 por cento dos entrevistados ainda preferiam ingerir os alimentos na forma consistente
