ABSTRACT

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health challenge. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between self-perception of oral health and clinical condition among patients with CKD. This isa quanti-qualitative survey conducted in a CKD specialized service. The sample consisted of 60 patients who underwent oral examinations to have their severity of caries (DMFT) and need for dental prosthesis checked. Age, sex, time on dialysis, marital status, skin color, education and pre-existing diseases were also analyzed. Among the kidney patients who agreed to undergo the clinical examinations and showed communication skills, some were selected, and three focus groups were created, with the participation of a moderator and six to 10 kidney patients in each group. Their speeches were processed in the IRAMUTEQ software and analyzed through the similarity analysis and word cloud techniques. As for profile, the patients were aged 60.23 ± 10.87 years old; were male (73.33%); were on dialysis for 41.90 ± 56.57 months; were married (61.67%); were white (76.67%); had incomplete primary education (41.66%); had arterial hypertension (76.67%); had a DMFT index of 22.55 ± 8.39; 43.33% needed an upper complete denture; and 30.00% needed a lower complete denture. The similarity analysis revealed many doubts and uncertainties about current health services, which can be proven by the words 'no' and 'treatment'. The quanti-qualitative analysis showed a high rate of dental loss and the need for complete dentures and suggests inequities in oral health care for chronic kidney disease patients, especially in tertiary care. There was a positive representation regarding oral health, but the lexicographical analyses of the textual corpusconfirmed the self-perception of lack of dental care.

ABSTRACT

Introdução:A queilite granulomatosa (QG) é uma lesão oral rara, apresentando clinicamente inchaço de aspecto granulomatoso no lábio.Objetivo:O presente estudo, tem como objetivo apresentar um relato de caso de QG, tendo em vista, a dificuldade do diagnóstico e tratamento de condições inflamatórias com etiologias desconhecidas que acometem a cavidade oral.Relato de caso:Paciente do sexo feminino, apresentou aumento de volume no lábio superior exibindo sintomatologia dolorosa, porém, sem relatar associações com alterações sistêmicas. Durante o exame clínico notou-se que o lábio superior apresentava fissuras profundas, observando tambémedema que se estendia da comissura labial, atravessando a linha média. Levantou-se então, a hipótese diagnóstica de QG. Foi realizada uma biópsia incisional para confirmação do diagnóstico. A análise histopatológica evidenciou, presença de granulomas não caseosos e infiltrado inflamatório linfoplasmocitário perivascular. De acordo com os dados clínicos e análise histopatológica foi dado o diagnóstico inicial de QG. Após o diagnóstico inicial de QG, a paciente foi encaminhada para uma avaliação médica, a fim de avaliar possíveis alterações intestinais que pudessem caracterizar a síndrome de Melkersson-Rosenthal ou Cronh, como também possível reação de hipersensibilidade tardia. Conclusões:O cirurgião-dentista deve estar preparado para diagnosticar aumentos de volume significativos nos lábios, a fim de manejar corretamente o tratamento do paciente, estabelecendo desta forma, prognósticos favoráveis para essas condições (AU).


Introduction:Granulomatous cheilitis (HQ) is a rare oral lesion, presenting clinically granulomatous swelling on the lip. Objective: This study aims to present a case report of HG, considering the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions with unknown etiologies that affect the oral cavity.Objective:This study aims to present a case report of HG, considering the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions with unknown etiologies that affect the oral cavity.Case report:A female patient presented increased volume in the upper lip showing painful symptoms, but without reporting associations with systemic alterations. During the clinical examination it was observed that the upper lip presented deep fissures, also observing edema that extended from the labial commissure, crossing the middle line. The diagnostic hypothesis of GQ was then raised. An incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis. Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of non-caseous granulomas and perivascular lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate. According to the clinical data and histopathological analysis the initial diagnosis of GH was given. After initial diagnosis of HG, the patient was referred for medical evaluation to evaluate possible intestinal changes that could characterize Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome or Cronh, as well as possible late hypersensitivity reactions.Conclusions:The dentist should be prepared to diagnose significant volume increases in the lips in order to correctly manage the patient's treatment, thus establishing favorable prognoses for these conditions (AU).

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the exposure of lead through saliva and the presence of gingival pigmentation in the risk group. Material and Methods: The type of this research is analytic observational with cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 40 subjects, who were divided into two groups of 20 each: G1: Gasoline Fuel Station and G2: Officer in Dental Hospital. To determine the level of leads in saliva is measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and assessment of the severity of lead-gingival lead line in this study based on the area of the gingival surface based on the number of dental areas. The data were analyzed with the t-test and Chi-square test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results: The average lead content in saliva group exposed was 6.66 µg / ml and control group 4.72 µg / ml (p≤0.05). There is a correlation between gingival lead line incidence with exposure to lead (OR = 3.33; p = 0.001). Conclusion: The identification of exposure to lead poisoning can be determined by examination in saliva and ginggiva state, it is proven that the risk of gingival lead (Ginggival Lead Line) in the worker group at the gas station station is 3.3 times more risk than the control group. Occupational safety factors are important for workers at high risk of exposure to the element of lead for additional education on the importance of using masks to prevent the severity of the occurrence of lead effects on overall health.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O fibroma de células gigantes é uma neoplasia fibrosa benigna, considerada rara, com fatores etiológicos incertos e características clinico-patológicas peculiares. Objetivo: Descrever a exérese do fibroma de células gigantes, em mucosa jugal direita, utilizando laser cirúrgico. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 33 anos, parda, atendida na clínica de Estomatologia da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, motivada por uma lesão neoplásica, de crescimento lento em região de mucosa jugal direita. Clinicamente, observou-se massa tumoral única, assintomática, com aproximadamente dois centímetros, de base séssil, normocorada, de consistência firme e superfície lisa. Após exame clínico, foi realizada uma biópsia excisional com fins diagnósticos, utilizando o laser cirúrgico. O diagnóstico, após o resultado do exame histopatológico, revelou um fibroma de células gigantes. A abordagem da biópsia excisional, além de ter fins de diagnóstico bucal, foi responsável pelo tratamento da lesão, visto que proporcionou a remoção completa da patologia. Optou-se por cicatrização por segunda intenção, e para acelerar esse processo, foi realizada aplicação local com laser de baixa potência de espectro de luz vermelha. No acompanhamento de sete dias, observou-se cicatrização adequada, com mínima alteração tecidual. Após oito meses, notou-se regeneração tecidual adequada sem recidiva da lesão. Conclusão: A remoção de um fibroma de células gigantes, utilizando laser de diodo de alta potência, se mostrou como uma abordagem terapêutica viável para o tratamento dessa patologia(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Herpetic gingivostomatitis is an infection caused by herpes simplex virus, which affects mainly children patients, being uncommon this manifestation in adults. It initially appears with prodromal signs and then local signs show up. The treatment for this disease is only supportive, because there is already a peak of viral replication when it was diagnosed. Objectives: To report a case of herpetic gingivostomatitis and to discuss its clinical characteristics and treatment. Case report: The patient looked for clinic care for presenting painful oral lesions with little time of evolution. With no medical history, the patient reported using antibiotics and antifungals. Oroscopy showed multiple coalescing ulcerative lesions affecting the gum tissue, tongue, lips and hard palate. It has been diagnosed clinically as herpetic gingivostomatitis and has been treated with supportive treatment (analgesics, topical anesthetic and chlorhexidine digluconate 0,12 percent). The patient returned after one week with improvement of the condition. Conclusion: The correct diagnosis, through the evident clinical manifestations, prevents the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, leading to better response of the patient(AU)


Introducción: La gingivoestomatitis herpética es una infección causada por el virus herpes simple, que afecta principalmente a los pacientes infantiles, la cual resulta inusual en adultos. Inicialmente surge con señales prodrómicas y solo después se presentan señales locales. El tratamiento para este cuadro es solo de soporte, pues cuando se diagnostica ya hay un pico de replicación viral. Objetivo: informar un caso de gingivoestomatitis herpética y discutir sus características clínicas y tratamiento. Presentación del caso: El paciente buscó atención clínica por presentar dolorosas lesiones bucales con poco tiempo de evolución. Sin historial médico, informó que estaba usando antibióticos y antifúngicos, sin remisión de la condición. En la oroscopia se observaron múltiples lesiones ulcerativas coalescentes que afectan el tejido de la gingiva, la lengua, los labios y el paladar duro. Se ha diagnosticado clínicamente como gingivoestomatitis herpética y se ha tratado con tratamiento de apoyo (analgésicos, anestésicos tópicos y digluconato de clorhexidina al 0,12 por ciento). El paciente regresó después de una semana con una mejoría de la condición. Conclusion es: El correcto diagnóstico, a través de las manifestaciones clínicas evidentes, previene el uso indiscriminado de antibióticos, lo que lleva a una mejor respuesta del paciente(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La patología oral es el área de la odontología que se especializa en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades orales. Se realizó un estudio transversal, en el cual fueron incluidos pacientes mayores de 18 años que acudieron a una clínica de atención primaria del departamento de estomatología de la universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, en México y a los cuales independientemente del motivo de consulta se les realizo historia clínica y exploración intraoral detallada. Fueron examinados 650 pacientes (424 mujeres y 226 hombres) con un rango de edad de 18 a 89 años (media=42.27). Las lesiones más frecuentes fueron la queratosis friccional (30,46 %) e hiperplasia fibrosa (6,92 %), la melanosis fisiológica (42,92 %) y los gránulos de Fordyce (36,46 %) fueron las condiciones más identificadas. En las lesiones de la mucosa oral que identificamos estuvo presente el factor traumático de manera crónica, es importante que el odontólogo este familiarizado con las lesiones más frecuentes, con su etiología, características clínicas y tratamiento de cada una de ellas.


ABSTRACT: Oral pathology it's the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. A cross-sectional study was carried out in which patients older than 18 years was included, that were attended in the primary care clinic at the stomatology department of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez, in Mexico, and regardless of the reason for consultation the clinical history and intraoral examination was done We examined 650 patients (424 women and 226 men) with an age range of 18 to 89 years (mean=42.27). The most frequent oral lesion was the frictional keratosis (30.46 %), fibrous hyperplasia (6.92 %), physiological melanosis (42.92 %), and fordyce granules (36.46 %). In the oral mucosal lesions identified was present a chronic traumatic factor, it is important that the dental staff knows about the most frequent injuries, their etiology, clinical characteristics and treatment of each one.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of doctors and dentists in Bamako on the relationship between chronic non-communicable diseases and periodontal diseases. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 420 physicians and dental surgeons was conducted from March to August 2016. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics (frequency distribution). All statistical analyses were performed using the Epi Info 3.5.4 Software. Results: The male sex was the most represented with 58% for a sex ratio of 1.3. The most represented age group was 30-40 years old (48.8%) with an average age of 33 ± 8.2 years. General practitioners were the most represented in 93.6% of cases. Physicians with no knowledge of periodontal disease accounted for 60% of all cases, and all dental surgeons reported knowledge of chronic noncommunicable conditions in 100% of cases. Physicians and dental surgeons rated their knowledge levels of periodontal disease and chronic disease as inadequate in 98% and 90% of cases, respectively. Examination of the oral cavity by the doctors was "sometimes" carried out in 66% of the cases and the non-demand of the clinical signs of the gingival bleeding (64%) and dental migration (80.5%). They did not make recommendations on oral hygiene in 61.7% of cases. Conclusion: This study shows shortcomings among doctors and dentists in Bamako on the relationship between periodontal diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases. Capacity building and multidisciplinary collaboration are needed to support people's health.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of clinical diagnosis for lip lesions based on sensitivity and specificity. The retrospective analysis focused on the detection of lesions caused by potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) and malignant lesions (n = 1195). All cases were classified as benign, PMD, and malignant lesions. Concordance between diagnoses based on clinical examination and those based on histopathological analysis was assessed, and accuracy for the identification of PMD and malignant lesions was calculated. Histopathological analysis revealed 44 lesion types; PMD and malignant lesions comprised 8.3% of all cases. Compared with histopathological analysis, clinical examination showed 97.4% accuracy for the identification of non-malignant and potentially malignant/malignant cases. Degrees of specific sensitivity ranged from 34% to 77% for different lesions, and were highest for autoimmune (77%) and reactive (72%) lesions. Positive and negative predictive values for the identification of PMD and malignant lesions were 81.9% and 98.9%, respectively. Clinical examination showed a high degree of accuracy for the detection of PMD and malignant lip lesions, indicating good reliability.

ABSTRACT

A redução da doença cárie ainda é um desafio. Partindo da premissa que a perda de mineral começa bem antes da cavitação da lesão, o diagnóstico precoce da atividade da doença torna-se cada vez mais importante. O propósito deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão da literatura acerca da utilização do CarieScan Pro, comparando-o com outros métodos empregados para diagnóstico precoce da perda mineral, decorrente da cárie dentária. O CarieScan Pro é um dispositivo portátil que usa a espectroscopia de impedância elétrica (EIS) para determinar as propriedades elétricas do dente. O dispositivo quantifica os níveis de desmineralização da estrutura dentária, sendo capaz de detectar e monitorar perdas minerais precocemente. Ainda que sejam poucos os estudos realizados com o CarieScan Pro, concluiu-se que o dispositivo é um método promissor para o diagnóstico precoce de lesões cariosas, apresentando expressivos índices quando comparados aos outros métodos de diagnóstico, e que as informações fornecidas pelo sistema permite ao profissional eleger as medidas terapêuticas preventivas, a fim de impedir a progressão da perda mineral, evitando a ocorrência de lesões cariosas cavitadas.

ABSTRACT

Os estudos genéticos moleculares utilizam técnicas variadas para analisar os ácidos nucleicos (ADN e ARN). Assim, avanços no conhecimento da biologia molecular e do genoma humano forneceram evidências de que a maioria das doenças é influenciada por alterações em estruturas genéticas, o que possibilitou também o desenvolvimento de novas terapias e tratamentos. Os resultados desses estudos podem ser úteis no diagnóstico, prognóstico, determinação da terapia a ser utilizada, avaliação da susceptibilidade da doença e até mesmo em ações de prevenção. O objetivo deste estudo foi reunir as técnicas moleculares mais utilizadas em Odontologia para o diagnóstico microbiológico de grupos bacterianos envolvidos com o processo carioso.

ABSTRACT

To assess the dental caries prevalence with ICDAS II in the mixed dentition, 40 children aged 7 to 11 years old, participating in a social program, whose parents and/or guardians signed a informed consent form.Material and Methods:Clinical examination was carried out after brushing. A single researcher performed the examination and the diagnosis consistency was obtained by Kappa coefficient in 12% of the sample. All dental surfaces were examined receiving a two-digit code. The first one refers to the presence of restoration/sealant and the second, the severity of carious lesions. The data was processed at SPSS software version 10.0 and analyzed using descriptive statistics (absolute distribution, percentage, mean and standard deviation). Results:The coefficient intra-examiner agreement was 0,83.Caries prevalence was considered high because 100% of the children had some surface with non-cavitated caries lesion. ICDAS II can be easily transformed to dmf-s or DMF-S without compromising its integrity. For dmf-s/DMF-S decayed surfaces were consideredICDAS codes 3 to 6, resulting in a dmf-s = 6,57 where 11 children (27,5%) presented no decayed deciduous teeth surface. DMF-S = 2,0 showed that 15 children (37,5%) had none decayed permanent surface, determining a underestimation of the caries disease when using dmf-d/dmf-s and DMF-S indexes.Conclusion:A careful viewing of initial caries lesions makes ICDAS II usefull in evaluating the health promotion actions impact, supporting the planning process, implementation and evaluation of program activities...

ABSTRACT

A cárie dentária é uma doença multifatorial, e a combinação “diagnóstico + atendimento precoce” desta doença permite um melhor controle da evolução da mesma. A busca por estratégias preventivas aceitáveis, precisas e de baixo custo, para identificação de indivíduos de alto risco ao acometimento de lesões cariosas, tem sido alvo de inúmeras pesquisas. O cariograma é um método quantitativo que utiliza um programa computadorizado para calcular objetivamente, a partir dos dados inseridos no programa, as chances de se evitar a ocorrência de lesões cariosas. Esses dados podem ser impressos, salvos e utilizados como meio motivacional para discutir, a nivel individual e/ou familiar, o plano de tratamento, ofertado pelo próprio programa. O cariograma oferta uma série de recomendações para a ação preventiva, de acordo com o risco de desenvolvimento de lesões cariosas, de forma individual. A apresentação gráfica, em cores distintas, facilita o entendimento para os pacientes do seu processo saúde/doença cárie, e pode ser usada para motivar o paciente, tornando-o participativo e corresponsável pela sua saúde bucal. Os autores concluíram que o cariograma é uma ferramenta de grande valor, podendo ser utilizada para traçar um perfil de risco individual e/ou global de chances de se evitar a ocorrência de lesões cariosas, propondo a partir dos dados obtidos uma série de medidas preventivas que, se utilizadas corretamente, tentam evitar a ocorrência de cavitações cariosas; entretanto, necessita da capacitação de cirurgiões-dentistas em prol da promoção de saúde.

ABSTRACT

A associação entre sinais e sintomas de Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM) e achados em imagens de ressonância magnética (RM) tem sido controversa, dessa forma, este estudo avaliou a posição do disco, pelo método do relógio, e verificou a associação com a posição da cabeça da mandíbula, com a dor muscular à palpação, abertura passiva e ativa, presença de estalo e idade em pacientes portadores de DTM que foram submetidos ao exame de RM. O disco foi classificado em 0- posição normal (banda posterior em 11 e 12 horas); 1- início do deslocamento (posição entre 11 e 10 horas); 2- deslocamento médio (posição entre 10 e 9 horas); e 3- deslocamento avançado (posição entre 9 e 8 horas). A posição da cabeça da mandíbula foi classificada de acordo com o método de Pullinger em 1- posterior; 2- anterior; e 3- concêntrica. As classificações foram realizadas por três examinadores. A associação entre os dados clínicos e imaginológicos foi realizada utilizando o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, análise de variância, teste exato de Fisher ou teste de Kruskal-Wallis conforme a necessidade, com 5% de nível de significância. Sessenta casos foram incluídos no estudo, com predomínio de mulheres e média de 37 anos de idade. Houve concordância excelente entre os examinadores para posição do disco e da cabeça da mandíbula, porém não houve correlação entre essas duas variáveis. A presença de estalo, dor muscular à palpação e amplitude de abertura de boca também não apresentaram correlação estatisticamente significante com a posição do disco. Apenas a dor muscular à palpação foi associada a abertura de boca (p<0,05). Conclui-se que não há associação entre sinais e sintomas clínicos e posição do disco com a posição da cabeça de mandíbula em pacientes portadores de DTM...


The association between signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been controversial, thus, this study evaluated the disc position, by the clock method, and verified the association with the condyle position, muscle pain on palpation, passive and active opening, presence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sound and age in patients with TMD who underwent MRI. The disc position was classified as 0 - normal position (posterior band at 11 and 12 hours); 1 - mild displacement (position between 11 and 10 hours); 2 - Moderate displacement (position between 10:09 hours); and 3 - Severe displacement (position 9 to 8 hours). The condyle position was graded according to the Pullinger's method as 1 - posterior; 2 - anterior; and 3 - concentric. Three examiners performed the analyses. The association between clinical and imaging data was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient ICC -, Spearman correlation coefficient, analysis of variance, Fisher's exact test or Kruskal-Wallis test as appropriate, with 5% significance level. Sixty cases were included in the study, with a predominance of women and average age of 37. There was excellent agreement between the examiners to disc and condyle position, but there was no significant correlation between these two variables. The presence of TMJ sound, muscle pain on palpation and range of mouth opening also showed no statistically significant correlation with the disc position. Only muscle pain on palpation was associated with mouth opening (p <0.05). It is concluded that there is no association between clinical signs and symptoms and disc position with condyle position in patients with TMD...

ABSTRACT

A Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM) é um termo que remete ao conjunto de doenças que envolvem músculos mastigatórios, articulação temporomandibular (ATM) e estruturas associadas. Diversos estudos buscam uma ligação entre sinais e sintomas de pacientes com DTM, tentando correlacionar o posicionamento de estruturas anatômicas, especificamente disco articular e cabeça da mandíbula, com a presença de dores nas ATMs, nos músculos mastigatórios e posturais. No que se refere à posição da cabeça da mandíbula na fossa mandibular, a literatura relata existir uma grande variação, sendo que os conceitos de normalidade e anormalidade são controversos. Os estudos sobre DTM evoluíram ao longo dos anos, principalmente nas últimas três décadas, graças ao advento de técnicas de exames de imagem como a Tomografia Computadoriza (TC) e a Ressonância Magnética (RM). Atualmente a RM é considerada o melhor método de avaliação de imagem para se estudar a ATM, tanto nos aspectos anatômicos e fisiológicos de normalidade, quanto nos aspectos patológicos, complementando o exame clínico de pacientes com DTM. O objetivo principal desse estudo foi a comparação do método de Pullinger-Hollender (P-H) com o método de Gelb quanto à posição da cabeça da mandíbula (anterior, concêntrica ou posterior) avaliada no exame de ressonância magnética (cortes centrais sagitais ponderados em T1) de 60 pacientes (42 mulheres e 18 homens) diagnosticados com DTM...


The term Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) refers to the group of diseases that involves the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. Several studies have sought a link between signs and symptoms of TMD patients, trying to correlate the position of anatomical structures, specifically articular disc and condyle, with the presence of pain in the TMJ, masticatory and postural muscles. As regards the position of the condyle in the articular fossa, the literature reports a wide variation and the concepts of normality and abnormality are controversial. Nevertheless, the methods described to measure this placement do not follow a pattern. Studies on DTM have evolved over the years, especially in the last three decades, thanks to the advent of techniques of imaging tests such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is currently considered the best method of imaging evaluation to study the TMJ both anatomical and physiological aspects of normality as the pathological aspects, complementing the clinical examination of patients with TMD. The main objective of this study was to analyze the position of the condyle in the articular fossa (anterior, posterior or concentric) using comparison of the PullingerHollender method (PH) with the Gelb method evaluated the MRI (sagittal central sections T1- weighted) 60 patients (42 women and 18 men) diagnosed with TMD. The secondary objective was to evaluate the inter-judge agreement in the application of the two methods. Each judge reproduced two drawings of each selected interval of 30 days between them, which were placed in four separate envelopes cut and later was chosen randomly one of them, the rest were discarded...
