ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in periodontal status and maxillary buccal bone by considering clinical and tomographic parameters during the first year of orthodontic expansion with Invisalign® aligners. Upper first (1PM) and upper second (2PM) premolars of 19 patients with orthodontic expansion requirement treated with Invisalign® aligners were evaluated. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and cone beam tomographic (CBCT) records were collected at 76 sites before starting treatment (T0) and at 12 months (T1). Bone height was measured from cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the crest cortical bone (CC). Bone thickness was measured at two levels: 4 mm (CEJ+4) and 6 mm (CEJ+6) apical to the CEJ. A descriptive analysis was made of the variations of bone thickness and height in a series of cases. The average expansion was 1.93 mm for 1PM and 167 mm for 2PM. Arithmetic mean of distance CEJ-CC in 1PM was 3.05 mm at T0, and remained at 3.05 mm at T1. Arithmetic mean of distance CEJ-CC in 2PM was 2.06 mm at T0 and 2.31 at T1. Post-expansion, most of the analyzed sites (86%) exhibited a bone thickness of ≥0.5 mm. The greatest variations between T0 and T1 were observed at the level of 1PM CEJ+ 4 and 2PM CEJ+ 6. The minimal changes in the clinical records (GI, PI, PPD and CAL) between T0 and T1 were compatible with the maintenance of gingivalperiodontal health. Invisalign® for expansion movements did not produce substantial changes in the evaluated periodontal clinical parameters or in the bone measurements. Removable appliances reduce plaque retentive factors and favor adequate oral hygiene.


RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los cambios en el estado periodontal y hueso facial maxilar a través de parámetros clínicos y tomográficos durante la expansión ortodóncica con alineadores Invisalign® en el primer año de tratamiento. Se evaluaron los primeros (1PM) y segundos (2PM) premolares superiores pertenecientes a 19 pacientes con requerimiento de expansión ortodóncica tratados con alineadores Invisalign®. Se registraron los índices de placa (IP), índice gingival (IG), profundidad al sondaje (PS) y nivel de inserción (NI) y registros tomográficos de haz cónico (CBCT) en 76 sitios antes de comenzar el tratamiento (T0) y a los 12 meses (T1). Se midió la altura ósea desde el límite amelocementario (LAC) hasta la cortical de la cresta (CC) y el espesor en dos niveles; a 4 mm (LAC+4) y a 6 mm (LAC+6) hacia apical del LAC. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variaciones de la altura y espesor óseo en una serie de casos. La expansión promedio para 1PM fue de 1,93 mm y para 2PM fue de 1,67 mm. La media aritmética de LAC-CC en primeros premolares fue de 3,05 mm en T0 y se mantuvo el valor de 3,05 mm en T1. La media aritmética de LAC-CC en segundos premolares fue de 2,06 mm en T0 y 2,31 en T1. Post expansión, la mayoría de los sitios (86%) analizados exhibieron un espesor óseo ≥0,5 mm. Las mayores variaciones entre T0 y T1 se observaron a nivel de 1PM CEJ+4 y 2PM CEJ+6. Los registros clínicos (PI, GI, PPD y CAL) evidenciaron mínimos cambios entre T0 y T1, compatibles con el mantenimiento de la salud gíngivo-periodontal. El uso de Invisalign ® para movimientos de expansión no produjo cambios sustanciales en los parámetros clínicos periodontales evaluados ni en las mediciones óseas. La aparatología removible reduce los factores retentivos de placa bacteriana y facilita una adecuada higiene oral.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: When miniplates are used as anchoring for orthodontic mechanics for anterior open bite correction by retraction of anterior teeth and posterior teeth intrusion and retraction, orthodontically induced inflammatory external apical root resorption is clinically negligible. Methods: A homogeneous sample of 32 patients was used, and the roots of the teeth were compared on CT scans performed before and after orthodontic treatment. Results: The observed root resorption was minimal, and this can be explained by the uniform distribution of forces in several teeth, simultaneously, in the set of the dental arch and in the bone that supports the teeth. Conclusion: The most important thing to prevent root resorption in orthodontic practice, besides being concerned with the intensity of the applied forces, is to be careful with its distribution along the roots of each tooth, in the dental arch and in the bone that supports the teeth.


RESUMO Introdução: Quando são utilizadas miniplacas como ancoragem para a mecânica ortodôntica de correção da mordida aberta anterior por meio da retração dos dentes anteriores e intrusão e retração dos dentes posteriores, as reabsorções radiculares apicais externas inflamatórias induzidas ortodonticamente são clinicamente irrelevantes. Métodos: Usou-se uma amostra homogênea de 32 pacientes, e comparou-se as raízes dos dentes em tomografias realizadas antes e depois do tratamento ortodôntico. Resultados: As reabsorções radiculares observadas foram mínimas, e isso pode ser explicado pela distribuição uniforme das forças em vários dentes, simultaneamente, no conjunto da arcada dentária e no osso que suporta os dentes. Conclusão: O mais importante para se prevenir as reabsorções radiculares na prática ortodôntica, além de se preocupar com a intensidade das forças aplicadas, é tomar cuidado com a sua distribuição ao longo das raízes de cada dente, na arcada dentária e no osso que suporta os dentes.

ABSTRACT

Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) is a complication of dental treatment which consists of the degradation of local tissue due to an inflammatory reaction provoked by inappropriate orthodontic stimulus. The aim of the present systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in reducing orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) in animal models. A systematic review was carried out in the MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases. Studies of interventions in animals were selected which analysed the effect of LLLT on OIIRR repair. The risk of bias was analysed through the 10 domains of the SYRCLE RoB tool for animal studies. Seventy-one studies were found; 27 were eliminated as duplicates and 44 titles/abstracts were analysed. Of these, 38 were excluded, and five studies were included for qualitative analysis. In 66.6 % of the studies included, the authors state that LLLT was effective in the inhibition/repair of OIIRR. In histological analysis it was observed that root resorption was significantly less in animals treated with laser as compared to the control. Furthermore, LLLT accelerated cicatrization after OIIRR. Laser proved effective in reducing root resorption lacunae and shortening the inflammatory process induced by the application of orthodontic force.


La resorción radicular inflamatoria inducida por tratamiento ortodontico (RRIITO) es una complicación del tratamiento odontológico que consiste en la degradación del tejido local debido a una reacción inflamación provocada por un estímulo ortodóntico inadecuado. El objetivo fue analizar la efectividad de la terapia láser de baja intensidad (LBI) en la disminución de RRIITO en ratas. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en las bases MEDLINE, EMBASE y LILACS. Fueron utilizados los términos 'resorción radicular', 'láser de baja intensidad', 'fototerapia', 'tratamiento ortodóntico', 'movimiento dental'. Fueron seleccionados estudios de intervención en animales, que analizaron el efecto del LBI en la reparación de la RRIITO. Los riesgos de sesgos fueron analizados mediante los 10 domínios de la herramienta SYRCLE RoB para estudios en animales. 71 estudios fueron encontrados, siendo eliminados 27 duplicados, y analizados 44 títulos/abstracts; de estos, fueron incluídos 5 estudios para análisis cualitativa. El 66,6 % de los estudios incluidos afirman que el LBI fue efectivo em reparar la RRIITO. En el análisis histológico se observó que la RRIITO fue significativamente menor en animales tratados con láser en comparación con el control. Además de eso, el LBI aceleró el proceso de cicatrización de la RRIITO. El láser se mostró efectivo en reducir las lagunas de resorción radicular y acortar el proceso inflamatorio inducido por la aplicación de fuerzas ortodonticas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the external apical root resorption (EARR) of the maxillary posterior teeth after intrusion with miniscrews. Methods: Fifteen patients (13 females and 2 males) with age ranging from 14.5 to 22 years (mean 18.1 ±2.03 years) were selected to participate in this study. All patients presented with anterior open bite of 3 mm or more. An intrusion force of 300 g was applied on each side to intrude the maxillary posterior teeth. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were taken pretreatment and post-intrusion and were analyzed to evaluate the EARR. Results: The maxillary posterior teeth were intruded in average 2.79 ± 0.46 mm (p< 0.001) in 5.1 ± 1.3 months, and all examined roots showed statistically significant EARR (p< 0.05) with an average of 0.55 mm, except the distobuccal root of the left first permanent molars and both the palatal and buccal roots of left first premolars, which showed no statistically significant changes. Conclusions: The evaluated teeth presented statistically significant EARR, but clinically, due to the small magnitude, it was not considered significant. Moreover, the CBCT provided a good visualization of all roots in all three planes, and it was effective in detecting minimal degrees of EARR.


RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo foi verificar a existência de reabsorção radicular apical externa (RRAE) em dentes posterossuperiores após intrusão ancorada em mini-implantes. Métodos: quinze pacientes (13 mulheres e 2 homens) com a idade variando entre 14,5 e 22 anos (média de 18,1 ± 2,03 anos) foram selecionados para participar desse estudo. Todos os pacientes possuíam mordida aberta anterior de 3mm ou mais. Uma força de 300 gramas foi aplicada em cada lado para intruir os dentes posterossuperiores. Tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico (TCFC), adquiridas antes do tratamento e após a intrusão, foram comparadas para se avaliar a RRAE. Resultados: os dentes posterossuperiores foram intruídos em média 2,70 ± 0,46 mm (p< 0,001) em 5,1 ± 1,3 meses, e todas as raízes examinadas mostraram RRAE estatisticamente significativa (p< 0,05), com média de 0,55 mm, exceto pela raiz distovestibular dos primeiros molares permanentes esquerdos, e pelas raízes palatina e vestibular dos primeiros pré-molares esquerdos, que não apresentaram mudanças estatisticamente significativas. Conclusões: os dentes avaliados apresentaram RRAE estatisticamente significativa, a qual, porém, não foi considerada clinicamente significativa, devido à sua reduzida magnitude. Além disso, a TCFC possibilitou uma boa visualização de todas as raízes nos três planos espaciais, e foi eficaz para detecção de níveis mínimos de RRAE.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate a flapless surgical technique as an alternative to traditional alveolar corticotomy used to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Methods: To induce OTM in Wistar rats, 40 cN of orthodontic force were applied to the maxillary left first molars. Forty rats were distributed into control groups (CG1, CG3, CG7 and CG14) and experimental groups (n= 5), in which alveolar perforations were made using a spear-shaped guide bur (EG1, EG3, EG7, EG14). Euthanasia dates were set at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days, respectively, after tooth movement began. The amount of OTM was measured with a caliper, and osteoclasts present in the periodontal ligament of the mesial root of the moved tooth were counted by means of histological evaluation (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, TRAP). Results: Although there was no difference in the amount of OTM within subgroups of corresponding experimental periods (p> 0.05), when EG14 and CG14 were compared, a larger number of osteoclasts was counted in the experimental group (p< 0.00). Conclusion: The authors concluded that flapless cortical alveolar perforations led to more intense osteoclastic activity on the fourteenth day; nevertheless, no evidence of accelerated OTM could be noted.


Resumo Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a técnica cirúrgica sem retalho como alternativa à tradicional corticotomia alveolar utilizada para acelerar o movimento dentário experimental. Métodos: para induzir a movimentação dentária experimental em ratos Wistar, foram aplicados 40 cN de força ortodôntica aos primeiros molares superiores esquerdos. Quarenta ratos foram distribuídos nos grupos (n = 5) controles (GC1, GC3, GC7 e GC14) e experimentais (GE1, GE3, GE7, GE14), nos quais foram realizadas perfurações alveolares com uma ponta lança. As datas de eutanásia foram estabelecidas em 1, 3, 7 e 14 dias, respectivamente, após o início do movimento dentário. A quantidade de deslocamento dentário foi medida com um paquímetro e os osteoclastos presentes no ligamento periodontal da raiz mesial do dente movimentado foram contados por meio de avaliação histológica (coloração por fosfatase ácida resistente ao tartarato, TRAP). Resultados: embora não tenha havido diferença na quantidade de deslocamento dentário dentro dos subgrupos dos períodos experimentais correspondentes (p> 0,05), quando GC14 e GE14 foram comparados, um número maior de osteoclastos foi contado no grupo experimental (p< 0,00). Conclusão: os autores concluíram que as perfurações alveolares corticais sem retalho levaram a uma atividade osteoclástica mais intensa no décimo quarto dia; entretanto, nenhuma evidência de movimento dentário acelerado pôde ser notada.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT To biologically explain why the orthodontic treatment does not induce pulp necrosis and calcific metamorphosis of the pulp, this paper presents explanations based on pulp physiology, microscopy and pathology, and especially the cell and tissue phenomena that characterize the induced tooth movement. The final reflections are as follows: 1) the orthodontic movement does not induce pulp necrosis or calcific metamorphosis of the pulp; 2) there is no literature or experimental and clinical models to demonstrate or minimally evidence pulp alterations induced by orthodontic movement; 3) when pulp necrosis or calcific metamorphosis of the pulp is diagnosed during orthodontic treatment or soon after removal of orthodontic appliances, its etiology should be assigned to concussion dental trauma, rather than to orthodontic treatment; 4) the two pulp disorders that cause tooth discoloration in apparently healthy teeth are the aseptic pulp necrosis and calcific metamorphosis of the pulp, both only induced by dental trauma; 5) the concussion dental trauma still requires many clinical and laboratory studies with pertinent experimental models, to increasingly explain its effects on the periodontal and pulp tissues.


RESUMO Para fundamentar biologicamente por que o tratamento ortodôntico não induz necrose pulpar e metamorfose cálcica da polpa, apresentou-se explicações com base na fisiologia, microscopia e patologia pulpar, bem como, e principalmente, nos fenômenos celulares e teciduais que caracterizam a movimentação dentária induzida. As reflexões finais foram: 1) o movimento ortodôntico não induz necrose pulpar ou metamorfose cálcica da polpa; 2) não há literatura e modelos experimentais e clínicos que comprovem ou minimamente evidenciem alterações pulpares induzidas pelo movimento ortodôntico; 3) quando a necrose pulpar ou metamorfose cálcica da polpa for diagnosticada durante o tratamento ortodôntico ou logo após a remoção dos aparelhos ortodônticos, a sua etiologia deve ser atribuída ao traumatismo dentário do tipo concussão, e não ao tratamento ortodôntico; 4) as duas doenças pulpares que levam ao escurecimento coronário em dentes aparentemente hígidos são a necrose pulpar asséptica e a metamorfose cálcica da polpa, ambas induzidas exclusivamente pelo traumatismo dentário; 5) o traumatismo dentário do tipo concussão requer, ainda, muitos estudos clínicos e laboratoriais, com modelos experimentais pertinentes, para fundamentar cada vez mais os seus efeitos sobre os tecidos periodontais e pulpares.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a sclerosing disease that affects the mandible, especially the alveolar process, and that is, in most cases, bilateral; however, in some cases it affects up to three or even four quadrants. During the disease, normal bone is replaced with a thinly formed, irregularly distributed tissue peppered with radiolucent areas of soft tissue. Newly formed bone does not seem to invade periodontal space, but, in several images, it is confused with the roots, without, however, compromising pulp vitality or tooth position in the dental arch. There is no replacement resorption, not even when the images suggest dentoalveolar ankylosis. Orthodontists should make an accurate diagnosis when planning treatments, as this disease, when fully established, is one of the extremely rare situations in which orthodontic treatment is contraindicated. This contraindication is due to: (a) procedures such as the installment of mini-implants and mini-plaques, surgical maneuvers to apply traction to unerupted teeth and extractions should be avoided to prevent contamination of the affected bone with bacteria from the oral microbiota; and (b) tooth movement in the areas affected is practically impossible because of bone disorganization in the alveolar process, characterized by high bone density and the resulting cotton-wool appearance. Densely mineralized and disorganized bone is unable to remodel or develop in an organized way in the periodontal ligaments and the alveolar process. Organized bone remodeling is a fundamental phenomenon for tooth movement.


RESUMO A displasia cemento-óssea florida é uma doença óssea esclerosante exclusiva dos maxilares, relacionada ao osso do processo alveolar e, na maioria dos casos, envolvendo bilateralmente a mandíbula; mas há casos em que envolve três ou até os quatro quadrantes. Nesse processo, troca-se o osso normal por um tecido densamente formado, irregularmente distribuído e salpicado por áreas radiolúcidas com tecido mole. O osso neoformado parece não invadir o espaço periodontal, mas, em muitas imagens, confunde-se com as raízes, sem comprometer a vitalidade pulpar e a posição dentária na arcada. Não há reabsorção dentária por substituição, mesmo quando as imagens sugerem anquilose alveolodentária. Um diagnóstico preciso por parte do ortodontista deve ser feito em seus planejamentos, visto que essa doença, quando se encontra plenamente instalada, representa uma das raríssimas situações em que o tratamento ortodôntico está contraindicado. Nesses casos, o tratamento ortodôntico está contraindicado porque: a) alguns procedimentos, como a aplicação de mini-implantes e miniplacas, manobras cirúrgicas para tracionamento de dentes não irrompidos e exodontias, devem ser evitados, para se impedir a entrada de bactérias da microbiota bucal no osso comprometido; e b) a possibilidade de movimentação dos dentes nas áreas comprometidas praticamente inexiste, pela desorganização óssea no processo alveolar, caracterizada por elevada densidade óssea, que gera as imagens tipo flocos de algodão. O osso densamente mineralizado e desorganizado não é capaz de se remodelar e desenvolver organizadamente, nos ligamentos periodontais e no osso do processo alveolar. A remodelação óssea organizada é fundamental como um dos fenômenos necessários para o deslocamento dos dentes.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of his study was to evaluate the stress on tooth and alveolar bone caused by orthodontic intrusion forces in a supraerupted upper molar, by using a three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). Methods: A superior maxillary segment was modeled in the software SolidWorks 2010 (SolidWorks Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA) containing: cortical and cancellous bone, supraerupted first molar, periodontal tissue and orthodontic components. A finite element model has simulated intrusion forces of 4N onto a tooth, directed to different mini-screw locations. Three different intrusion mechanics vectors were simulated: anchoring on a buccal mini-implant; anchoring on a palatal mini-implant and the association of both anchorage systems. All analyses were performed considering the minimum principal stress and total deformation. Qualitative analyses exhibited stress distribution by color maps. Quantitative analysis was performed with a specific software for reading and solving numerical equations (ANSYS Workbench 14, Ansys, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA). Results: Intrusion forces applied from both sides (buccal and palatal) resulted in a more homogeneous stress distribution; no high peak of stress was detected and it has allowed a vertical resultant movement. Buccal or palatal single-sided forces resulted in concentrated stress zones with higher values and tooth tipping to respective force side. Conclusion: Unilateral forces promoted higher stress in root apex and higher dental tipping. The bilateral forces promoted better distribution without evidence of dental tipping. Bilateral intrusion technique suggested lower probability of root apex resorption.


RESUMO Objetivos: o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio da Análise de Elementos Finitos, as tensões geradas por forças ortodônticas intrusivas em um molar superior e no osso alveolar circundante. Métodos: um segmento maxilar foi modelado no software SolidWorks 2010 (SolidWorks Corporation, Waltham, MA, EUA), contendo: osso cortical e medular, primeiro molar extruído, tecido periodontal e acessórios ortodônticos. Um modelo de elementos finitos simulou forças intrusivas de 4 N no elemento dentário, aplicadas a partir de mini-implantes em localizações distintas. Três diferentes vetores para mecânica de intrusão foram simulados: ancoragem em mini-implante vestibular, ancoragem em mini-implante palatino ou a associação de ambas. Todas as análises foram realizadas em termos de tensão mínima principal e deformação total. A análise qualitativa foi feita por meio do mapeamento da distribuição das tensões em gradiente de cores. A análise quantitativa foi feita em software específico para leitura e resolução de equações numéricas (ANSYS Workbench 14, Ansys, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, EUA). Resultados: as forças intrusivas aplicadas simultaneamente nos dois lados (vestibular e palatino) resultaram em uma distribuição mais homogênea das tensões geradas, sem zonas de acúmulo de tensão e com uma resultante vertical para a movimentação intrusiva. As forças aplicadas somente em um lado, vestibular ou palatino, resultaram em zonas de concentração de tensão, com maiores valores, e na inclinação do elemento dentário para o lado em que a força foi aplicada. Conclusão: as forças unilaterais promoveram maior tensão no ápice radicular e maiores inclinações do elemento dentário. Já as forças bilaterais promoveram melhor distribuição das tensões e não resultaram em inclinação do elemento dentário. Assim, as forças intrusivas ancoradas bilateralmente apresentam menor probabilidade de reabsorção do ápice radicular.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to histologically evaluate pulp and dentin under induced tooth movement (ITM) with different types of forces. Material and Methods: The maxillary right first molars of rats were submitted to movement with continuous (CF), continuous interrupted (CIF) and intermittent (IF) forces during 5, 7 and 9 days with nickel-titanium (NiTi) closed-coil springs exerting 50cN force magnitude. The groups were histologically evaluated as for cellularity pattern, presence of dystrophic, hemodynamic alterations in the pulp as well dentin alterations. The main observed alterations were related to hemodynamic pulp characteristics, such as presence of thrombosis, vascular congestion and hemorrhages. The hemodynamic alterations were statistically evaluated by Shapiro-Wilk normality test and analysis of variance by the Kruskall-Wallis test. Results: There was no significant differences observed between groups in the different types of applied forces and duration of ITM (vascular congestion, p=1.000; hemorrhage, p=0.305; thrombosis, p=1.000). Conclusions: Pulp tissue alterations resulting from ITM were limited to hemodynamic events, without progressing to irreversible degeneration, regardless of the type of force applied.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to perform a systematic literature review to determine if there is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that interferes less within tooth movement. This research was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Articles were searched in eight electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, Google Scholar, and Open Grey). Only experimental studies on male Wistar rats were selected, which included experiments related to the influence of NSAIDs on orthodontic movement. Studies in animals with pathological conditions, literature review articles, letters to the editor and/or editorials, case reports, abstracts, books, and book chapters were excluded. Each of the steps of this systematic literature review was performed by two examiners independently. Results: the total sample consisted of 505 articles, from which 6 studies were eligible after a qualitative analysis. From the drugs assessed, paracetamol was unanimous for not interfering within orthodontic movement when compared to the control group. However, drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, sodium diclofenac, and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors caused a reduction in tooth movement when compared to the control group. Conclusion: paracetamol could be considered the drug of choice for pain relief because it interferes less within tooth movement.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term effects of orthodontic traction on root length and alveolar bone level in impacted canines and adjacent teeth. Material and Methods Sample consisted of 16 patients (nine males and seven females), mean initial age 11 years and 8 months presenting with unilaterally maxillary impacted canines, palatally displaced, treated with the same surgical and orthodontic approach. Teeth from the impacted-canine side were assigned as Group I (GI), and contralateral teeth as control, Group II (GII). The mean age of patients at the end of orthodontic treatment was 14 years and 2 months and the mean post-treatment time was 5 years and 11 months. Both contralateral erupted maxillary canines and adjacent teeth served as control. Root length and alveolar bone level (buccal and palatal) were evaluated on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The comparison of root length and alveolar bone level changes between groups were assessed by applying paired t-test, at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results There were no statistically significant differences in root length and buccal and palatal bone levels of canines and adjacent teeth among groups. Conclusions Impacted canine treatment by closed-eruption technique associated with canine crown perforation, has a minimal effect on root length and buccal and palatal alveolar bone level in both canine and adjacent teeth, demonstrating that this treatment protocol has a good long-term prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Experimental tooth movement has been shown to induce inflammation and release of chemical mediators. Inflammation can also alter nerve function that can be measured with Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST). Various authors have studied orthodontic pain and the different factors that modify it. But, to our knowledge none studied a possible individual endogenous analgesia effect on orthodontic induced-pain. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of orthodontic separator and short-term fixed orthodontic appliance on the somatosensory function and gingival cervicular fluid (GCF) levels of IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-6 and TNF-α. Thirty patients were evaluated as follow: baseline, 24h-after elastomeric separator (24h-aES), 24h and 1 month after bonding the fixed appliance (aBFA) at maxillary and mandibular arch. The outcome variables were: self-reported pain, QSTs (current perception threshold, cold detection threshold, warm detection threshold, mechanical detection threshold, mechanical supra threshold and wind-up ratio, CPM and sample from the GCF in order to assess cytokines profile (IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-6 and TNF-α). ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc analyses were performed (a = 5%). The participants were divided in two groups: G1) RESPONDERS (more than 10% decrease in WUR); G2) NON-RESPONDERS (not show more than 10% decrease in WUR). T-test for independent sample was performed. A Bonferroni correction lowered the significance level to 0.1% (p = 0.001) as the cut-off point to establish the statistical significance for the mean difference between CPM responders and non-responders. Patients were less sensitive to pin prick pain (MST) at 24h (p<0.020) and 1month-aBFA (p<0.002) when compared to baseline. Significant increases in IL-6 levels were observed 24h-aBFA (p<0.023) and in IL-1ß (p<0.001) and TNF-α (p<0.026) levels at 1 month-aBFA when compared to baseline values (p<0.023). There was no significant difference in somatosensory function, pain report and GCF cytokines when compared between G1 and G2. In conclusion, orthodontic-induced inflammation may have a modality specific effect on somatosensory function of the trigeminal system. In addition, elastic separators seem not an ideal model to study possible inflammatory changes following orthodontic tooth movement. Moreover, CPM efficiency may not significantly influence somatosensory function, pain intensity or released of inflammatory cytokines following orthodontic tooth movement up to 1 month. However, remained to be confirmed and further investigations are required in intraoral somatosensory assessment.(AU)


O movimento dentário experimental demonstrou induzir inflamação e liberação de mediadores químicos. A inflamação também pode alterar a função nervosa que pode ser medida através de testes quantitativos sensoriais (QST). Vários autores estudaram a dor ortodôntica e os diferentes fatores que a modificam. Mas, ao nosso conhecimento, não há estudos avaliando o efeito da analgesia endógena individual na dor induzida por ortodontia. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar o impacto do separador ortodôntico e do aparelho ortodôntico fixo de curta duração na função somatossensorial e nos níveis do fluido cervical gengival (GCF) de IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-6 e TNF-α. Trinta pacientes foram avaliados da seguinte forma: valores basais, 24 horas após separador elástico (24h- AES), 24h e 1 mês após a ligação do aparelho fixo (aBFA) no arco maxilar e mandibular. As variáveis avaliadas foram: dor, QSTs (limiar de percepção elétrica, limiar de detecção ao frio, limiar de detecção ao quente, limiar de detecção mecânica, supralimiar mecânico e razão de somação temporal, CPM e amostra do GCF para avaliar perfil das citocinas ( IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-6 e TNF-α). A ANOVA e as análises post hoc de Tukey foram realizadas (a = 5%). Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: G1) CPM-RESPONDENTES (diminuição de mais de 10% em WUR); G2) CPM-NÃO RESPONDENTES (não mostra mais de 10% de diminuição na WUR). Foi realizado teste T para amostra independente. Uma correção de Bonferroni reduziu o nível de significância para 0,1% (p = 0,001) como ponto de corte para estabelecer a significância estatística para a diferença média entre G1 o G2. Os pacientes eram menos sensíveis à dor de pin (MST) às 24h (p <0,020) e 1 mês-aBFA (p <0,002) quando comparado à linha de base. Observaram-se aumentos significativos nos níveis de IL-6 níveis 24h-aBFA (p <0,023) e nos níveis de IL-1ß (p <0,001) e TNF-α (p <0,026) em 1 mês-aBFA quando comparados aos valores basais (p < 0,023). Não houve diferença significativa na função somatossensorial, no relatório da dor e citocinas do FCG quando comparadas entre G1 e G2. Em conclusão, a inflamação induzida por ortodontia pode ter um efeito de modalidade específico na função somatossensorial do sistema trigeminal. Além disso, os separadores elásticos não parecem ser um modelo ideal para estudar possíveis alterações inflamatórias após o movimento dentário ortodôntico. Além disso, a eficiência de CPM pode não influenciar significativamente a função somatossensorial, intensidade da dor ou liberação de citocinas inflamatórias após o movimento dentário ortodôntico até 1 mês. No entanto, outras investigações são necessárias na avaliação somatossensorial intraoral.(AU)

ABSTRACT

abstract Gingival recession has direct causes and predisposing factors. Orthodontic treatment is able to prevent recession and even contribute to its treatment, with or without periodontal approach, depending on the type and severity of gingival tissue damage. There is no evidence on the fact that orthodontic treatment alone might induce gingival recession, although it might lead the affected teeth (usually mandibular incisors or maxillary canines) to be involved in situations that act as predisposing factors, allowing direct causes to act and, therefore, trigger recession, especially when the buccal bone plate is very thin or presents with dehiscence. Several aspects regarding the relationship between orthodontic treatment and gingival recession have been addressed, and so has the importance of the periosteum to the mechanism of gingival recession formation. Clinical as well as experimental trials on the subject would help to clarify this matter, of which understanding is not very deep in the related literature.


Resumo As recessões gengivais têm causas diretas e fatores predisponentes. O tratamento ortodôntico pode prevenir as recessões e, até, contribuir para o seu tratamento, com ou sem uma abordagem por parte do periodontista, dependendo do tipo e da severidade do comprometimento dos tecidos gengivais. Não há evidências de que o tratamento ortodôntico possa induzir, de forma primária, as recessões gengivais, muito embora possa levar os dentes envolvidos (comumente, os incisivos inferiores e os caninos superiores) a situações que ajam como fatores predisponentes para que as causas diretas possam atuar e produzir recessões - em especial, quando deixa-se uma tábua óssea vestibular muito fina ou, até, com deiscência. Vários aspectos da relação entre o tratamento ortodôntico e as recessões gengivais já foram abordados, assim como a importância do periósteo no mecanismo de formação delas. Trabalhos clínicos e experimentais sobre o assunto ajudariam a esclarecer o assunto, que ainda se apresenta muito pouco aprofundado na literatura pertinente.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo dessa tese foi avaliar alguns desses fatores, verificar a influência da ortodontia sobre alterações oclusais, limiares de dor à pressão da região orofacial, hábitos orais parafuncionais, e percepção de qualidade de vida. Foram selecionados 111 pacientes com idade entre 13 e 55 anos e ausência de sintomas de DTM que iniciaram terapia ortodôntica corretiva. O experimento foi dividido em três etapas: t1 (no momento da instalação do aparelho), t2 (2 meses após o início do tratamento), e t3 (6 meses após o início do tratamento). Em todas etapas os pacientes foram examinados clinicamente para avaliação oclusal e seus limiares de dor à pressão foram avaliados com um algômetro digital. Também foram aplicados questionários sobre hábitos orais parafuncionais (OBC) e percepção de saúde oral na qualidade de vida (OHIP-14br). Foram feitas comparações a respeito de cada variável quantitativa considerando os três tempos de avaliação por meio de Análise de variância (ANOVA) a um critério. O teste t foi utilizado para avaliar diferenças entre as médias das variáveis quantitativas no tempo inicial (t1) e tempo final (t3) de avaliação. Para avaliar o efeito da ortodontia sobre variáveis qualitativas oclusais foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. Foram considerados estatisticamente significantes aqueles resultados que apresentaram nível de significância igual ou menor que 0,05. Nenhum dos 111 pacientes desenvolveram sintomas de DTM até o momento final de avaliação. Não foram observadas mudanças oclusais quantitativas significativas (p>0,05) entre t1 e t3, no entanto os fatores qualitativos como mudanças nos padrões oclusais foram alterados significativamente (p<0,05). O tratamento ortodôntico não alterou os limiares de dor à pressão, mas foi observado um aumento significativo (p<0,05) nos escores de OHIP entre os períodos t1 e t3. O tratamento ortodôntico também não aumentou ou diminuiu a presença de hábitos orais parafuncionais, e não foram encontradas diferenças entre sexo e Limear de Dor a Pressão (LDP) nos indivíduos que possuíam mais ou menos hábitos. No entanto, pacientes mais velhos relataram maiores escores de OBC, e foi encontrada correlação entre pacientes com maiores escores de OBC e menores escores para o OHIP. O estudo concluiu que a movimentação ortodôntica não teve efeito sobre limiares de dor na região orofacial e não influencia na presença de hábitos orais parafuncionais. No entanto, o tratamento ortodôntico teve um efeito positivo sobre a percepção de saúde oral na qualidade de vida.(AU)


The aim of this thesis was to evaluate some of these factors, examining the influence of orthodontics on occlusal changes, pain pressure thresholds of the orofacial region, parafunctional oral habits, and the perception of quality of life. 111 patients aged 13 to 55 that showed no signs or symptoms of TMD and began orthodontic treatment were selected. The experiment was divided into three phases: t1 (when the orthodontic device was installed), t2 (two months after the installation), and t3 (six months after the start of the treatment). At all phases, the patients were examined clinically for occlusal evaluation and their pain pressure thresholds were assessed with an analog algometer. They were also applied questionnaires on parafunctional oral habits (OBC) and perception of oral health on the quality of life (OHIP-14br). Comparisons were made with respect to each quantitative variable considering the three phases of evaluation through a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for each variable. The t test was used to assess differences between the means of quantitative variables at baseline (T1) and the final evaluation (t3). To evaluate the effect of orthodontics on occlusal qualitative variables Fisher's exact test was used. Statistical significance was considered for those results with a significance level equal to or less than 0.05. None of the 111 patients developed symptoms of TMD within the evaluation time. No significant occlusal quantitative changes were observed (p> 0.05) between t1 and t3, however the qualitative factors considered as occlusal patterns were significantly changed (p <0.05). Orthodontic treatment did not alter pain pressure thresholds but a significant increase (p <0.05) in scores of OHIP was observed between phases t1 and t3. Orthodontic treatment did not increase or decrease the pesence of parafunctional oral habits, and no differences were found between sex and LDP in individuals who possessed more/less parafunctional habits. However, older patients reported higher OBC scores, and correlation was found between patients with higher OBC scores and lower scores for OHIP. The study concluded that orthodontic treatment did not have an effect on orofacial pain hresholds, nor the presence of parafunctional oral habits. The perception of oral health on quality of life improved significantly with treatment and patients with lessparafunctional oral habits presented a better quality of life.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Novos estudos são necessários para elucidar com maior clareza o impacto da ortodontia na saúde dos músculos mastigatórios e das articulações temporomandibulares. A associação do estudo de sinais e sintomas de DTM com a investigação dos fatores psicossociais apresentam perspectivas promissoras, assim como o conhecimento da presença de hábitos parafuncionais. Entender como os fatores psicossociais interferem nos resultados dos tratamentos clínicos pode trazer contribuições enriquecedoras para a odontologia. Um modelo que tem sido aceito no entendimento da etiologia das DTM é o modelo biopsicossocial, que envolve uma combinação de fatores biológicos, psicológicos e sociais. Segundo essa perspectiva, entende-se que um problema biológico pode ter antecedentes psicológicos, assim como consequências comportamentais. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a influência da ortodontia no desenvolvimento de sinais e sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular, no relato de bruxismo, na hipervigilância à dor e nos sintomas de depressão e ansiedade. 111 pacientes iniciando tratamento ortodôntico foram examinados em 3 sessões: t1 (no momento da instalação do aparelho), t2 (dois meses após a instalação), e t3 (seis meses após o início do tratamento). Nas 3 sessões os pacientes foram examinados clinicamente para avaliação oclusal, limiares de dor à pressão e aplicações de questionários de bruxismo, hipervigilância, depressão e ansiedade. Foram feitas comparações a respeito de cada variável quantitativa considerando os três tempos de avaliação através de Análise de variância (ANOVA) a um critério. O teste t foi utilizado para avaliar diferenças entre as médias das variáveis quantitativas no tempo inicial (t1) e tempo final (t3) de avaliação. Para avaliar o efeito da ortodontia sobre variáveis qualitativas oclusais foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. Foram considerados estatisticamente significantes aqueles resultados que apresentaram nível de significância igual ou menor que 0,05. O presente estudo demonstrou que a ortodontia não interfere no surgimento de sinais e sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular, sendo que não houve diferenças na presença de ruído articular e no LDP em nenhum dos sítios durante os períodos avaliados. Os resultados apontaram que nos grupos que não possuíam bruxismo do sono (controle), houve um aumento no relato de bruxismo em vigília após o início da ortodontia. Considerando o grupo de pacientes com maiores sintomas de ansiedade, encontrou-se maior presença de relato de bruxismo em vigília. Por último, os resultados demonstraram que a ortodontia não alterou os escores do questionário de hipervigilância à dor e os sintomas de ansiedade e depressão.(AU)


Further studies are needed to elucidate more clearly the impact of orthodontics on the health of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints. The study of the association of signs and symptoms of TMD with psychosocial factors have promising prospects, as well as the presence of parafunctional habits. Understanding how psychosocial factors affect the results of clinical treatments can bring great contributions to dentistry. A model that has been accepted in the understanding of the etiology of TMD is the biopsychosocial model, which involves a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. From this perspective, it is understood that a biological problem may have psychological backgrounds, as well as behavioral consequences. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of orthodontics in the development of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, the report of bruxism, hypervigilance to pain, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. 111 patients initiating orthodontic treatment were examined in 3 sessions: t1 (at the time of orthodontic appliance installation), t2 (two months after installation), and t3 (six months after the start of the treatment). In the three sessions, patients were examined clinically for occlusal evaluation, pain pressure thresholds were measured, and bruxism, hypervigilance, depression and anxiety questionnaires were applied. Comparisons were made with respect to each quantitative variable considering the three phases of evaluation through a multi-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The t test was used to assess differences between means of quantitative variables at the initial time (t1) and end time (t3) evaluation. To evaluate the effect of orthodontics on occlusal qualitative variables we used Fisher's exact test. This study showed that orthodontics does not interfere with the appearance of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction, and there were no differences in the presence of articular noise and LDP on any of the sites during the evaluation period. The results showed that the group that did not reported sleep bruxism (control), showed an increase in the reporting of awake bruxism after the start of orthodontics. Considering the group of patients with higher anxiety symptoms, we found a greater presence of daytime bruxism report. Finally, the results showed that orthodontics did not alter the scores of pain hypervigilance questionnaire and symptoms of anxiety and depression.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective This study evaluated the frequency of root resorption during the orthodontic treatment with Herbst appliance by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).Material and Methods The sample comprised 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean ages 15.76±1.75 years) with Class II division 1 malocclusion, treated with Herbst appliance. CBCT was obtained before treatment (T0) and after Herbst treatment (T1). All the dental roots, except third molars, were evaluated, and apical root resorption was determined using the axial guided navigation method. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon T Test were used to compare the dependent samples in parametric and nonparametric cases, respectively. Chi-Square Test with Yates’ correction was used to evaluate the relationship between apical root resorption and gender. Results were considered at a significance level of 5%.Results Apical resorption was detected by CBCT in 57.96% of 980 roots that underwent Herbst appliance treatment. All patients had minimal resorption and there was no statistical significance between the genders.Conclusion CBCT three-dimensional evaluation showed association between Herbst appliance and minimal apical root resorption, mostly in the anchoring teeth, without clinical significance.

ABSTRACT

External Cervical Resorption in maxillary canines with pulp vitality is frequently associated with dental trauma resulting from surgical procedures carried out to prepare the teeth for further orthodontic traction. Preparation procedures might surgically manipulate the cementoenamel junction or cause luxation of teeth due to applying excessive force or movement tests beyond the tolerance limits of periodontal ligament and cervical tissue structures. Dentin exposure at the cementoenamel junction triggers External Cervical Resorption as a result of inflammation followed by antigen recognition of dentin proteins. External Cervical Resorption is painless, does not induce pulpitis and develops slowly. The lesion is generally associated with and covered by gingival soft tissues which disguise normal clinical aspects, thereby leading to late diagnosis when the process is near pulp threshold. Endodontic treatment is recommended only if surgical procedures are rendered necessary in the pulp space; otherwise, External Cervical Resorption should be treated by conservative means: protecting the dental pulp and restoring function and esthetics of teeth whose pulp will remain in normal conditions. Unfortunately, there is a lack of well-grounded research evincing how often External Cervical Resorption associated with canines subjected to orthodontic traction occurs.


A reabsorção cervical externa em caninos superiores com vitalidade pulpar em sua quase totalidade está associada a traumatismo dentário decorrente de procedimentos cirúrgicos associado à preparação desse dente para ser tracionado ortodonticamente. Nessa preparação pode se manipular cirurgicamente a junção amelocementária ou luxar o dente com forças excessivas ou com testes de movimentação além dos limites de tolerância estrutural do ligamento periodontal e tecidos cervicais. A exposição dentinária na junção amelocementária é o estopim para se iniciar uma reabsorção cervical externa a partir de uma inflamação induzida na região seguida de reconhecimento antigênico das proteínas dentinárias. A reabsorção cervical externa é indolor, não induz pulpites e tem uma evolução lenta. Em geral, a lesão está associada e recoberta por tecidos moles gengivais que mantêm, por longos períodos, os aspectos clínicos normais, induzindo diagnósticos tardios, quando o processo se aproxima dos limites pulpares. O tratamento endodôntico está indicado apenas em função de procedimentos operatórios que se fazem necessários no espaço pulpar; caso contrário, a reabsorção cervical externa deve ser tratada de forma conservadora, protegendo a polpa dentária e restaurando a função e estética do dente que permanecerá com sua polpa normal. Infelizmente, não sabemos, com base em pesquisas de casuísticas bem estabelecidas, qual é a frequência da reabsorção cervical externa associada a caninos ortodonticamente tracionados.

ABSTRACT

Cases in which teeth have only the cervical third remaining from orthodontically induced external root resorption, cast the following doubts: 1) What care should be taken to keep these teeth in mouth with the least risk possible? 2) What care should be taken with regards to reading of imaging exams, particularly in terms of accurately determining cervical root and bone loss? 3) Why is not endodontic treatment recommended in these cases? The present study aims at shedding light on the aforementioned topics so as to induce new insights into the theme.


Nos casos em que os dentes têm apenas o terço cervical remanescente de uma reabsorção radicular externa induzida ortodonticamente: 1) Quais seriam os cuidados para que permaneçam na boca, com o menor risco possível de perda? 2) Quais seriam os cuidados na interpretação imaginológica desses casos, quanto à determinação precisa da perda radicular e óssea cervical? 3) Por que o tratamento endodôntico não estaria indicado? No presente trabalho, procura-se esclarecer esses pontos e respondendo os questionamentos, para induzir novos insights sobre o assunto.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between initial alveolar bone density of upper central incisors (ABD-UI) and external apical root resorption (EARR) after 12 months of orthodontic movement in cases without extraction. METHODS: A total of 47 orthodontic patients 11 years old or older were submitted to periapical radiography of upper incisors prior to treatment (T1) and after 12 months of treatment (T2). ABD-UI and EARR were measured by means of densitometry. RESULTS: No statistically significant correlation was found between initial ABD-UI and EARR at T2 (r = 0.149; p = 0.157). CONCLUSION: Based on the present findings, alveolar density assessed through periapical radiography is not predictive of root resorption after 12 months of orthodontic treatment in cases without extraction. .


OBJETIVO: avaliar a correlação entre a densidade óssea alveolar inicial dos incisivos centrais superiores (DOA-IS) e a reabsorção radicular apical externa (RRAE) após 12 meses de movimentação ortodôntica em casos sem extração. MÉTODOS: quarenta e sete pacientes ortodônticos (maiores que 11 anos) foram submetidos ao exame periapical dos incisivos superiores no pré-tratamento (T1) e 12 meses após (T2). Mensurou-se a RRAE no intervalo de 12 meses, bem como a densidade óssea alveolar inicial da região apical desses dentes por meio da fotodensitometria. RESULTADOS: não houve correlação estatisticamente significativa entre a DOA-IS inicial e a RRAE em T2 (r = 0,149; p = 0,157). CONCLUSÃO: a densidade alveolar avaliada pela radiografia periapical não se apresentou como fator de interferência ou preditivo para reabsorção radicular após 12 meses de tratamento ortodôntico sem extração. .
