RÉSUMÉ
Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o dimorfismo sexual em uma coleção de mandíbulas portuguesas através de uma metodologia métrica digital, utilizando análise estatística descritiva, inferencial e multivariada para identificar quais parâmetros são mais dimórficos e quais são os melhores preditores de sexo. Trinta e três mandíbulas (14 mulheres e 19 homens) e pertences pessoais foram fotograficamente registrados com código e sexo. Os dados foram coletados por tomografia e as medidas foram feitas pelo software Simplant Pro. Foram registrados a largura máxima e mínima do ramo mandibular, altura condilar, altura do processo coronoide, altura da sínfise mandibular, ângulo mandibular, distâncias bimentual, biantegonial, bigonial e bicondilar e comprimento máximo mandibular. A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando IBM® SPSS. Os resultados mostraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas para os seguintes parâmetros: altura do processo coronoide, altura do côndilo, comprimento máximo da mandíbula e largura mínima do ramo mandibular. Na análise estatística multivariada foi possível identificar a altura do processo coronoide como melhor preditor de sexo com precisão em 72,2% dos casos. Isto permite uma diferenciação mais fácil entre mandíbulas femininas e masculinas com uma precisão de 64,3% e 78,9%, respectivamente. Foi possível concluir que a altura do processo coronoide é o parâmetro mais dimórfico e o melhor preditor de sexo na amostra.
This study aimed to assess sex dimorphism in a collection of Portuguese mandibles through a digital metric methodology by using descriptive, inferential, and multivariate statistical analysis to identify which parameters are the most dimorphic and which are the best sex predictors. Thirty-three mandibles (14 females and 19 males) and personal belongings were photographically registered with code and sex. Data was collected using tomography, and measurements were made using the Simplant Pro software. The maximum and minimum width of the mandibular ramus, condylar height, coronoid process height, mandibular symphysis height, mandibular angle, bi-mental, bi-antegonial, bi-gonial and bi-condylar distances, and maximal mandibular length were registered. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM® SPSS. The results showed statistically significant differences for the following parameters: coronoid process height, condyle height, the maximum length of the mandible, and the minimum width of the mandibular ramus. In the multivariate statistical analysis, it was possible to identify the coronoid process height as the best sex predictor accurately in 72.2% of cases. This allows for easier differentiation between female and male mandibles with an accuracy of 64.3% and 78.9%, respectively. It was possible to conclude that the coronoid process height is the most dimorphic parameter and the best sex predictor in the sample.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the surface roughness among 3 types of glass ionomers (GI) before (no polishing) and after polishing with three different materials. Methods: 20 discs for each GI group were obtained (A-Ionolux; B-IonoStar Plus; C-Ketac). Those groups were subdivided according to finishing and polishing: subgroups 1 (control) - no polishing, 2 - polishing with prophylactic brush and pumice paste, 3 - Enhance tips with water, and 4 - Sof-Lex system with Easy Glaze and polymerization. For each disc face, the total distance analyzed was 2.88cm (6x48mm). Then, the roughness was compared using the Kruskal-Wallis with Bonferroni test, with significant data if p<0.05. Results: The mean of roughness within Group A was lower for subgroup 4 (1.07±0.54 µm) and higher for subgroup 2 (2.33±1.17 µm). Within group B, B4 had the lowest mean of roughness (0.93±0.38 µm) and B2 (1.24 ± 0.78 µm) the highest roughness. Within group C, Group C4 had the lowest mean roughness value (0.84±0.54 µm), and C3 had the highest mean (2.48±1.05 µm). After polishing, subgroup 4 had the general lowest values for surface roughness (mean Ra 0.95), followed by subgroup 1 (Ra=1.27), subgroup 2 (Ra=1.89), and higher values for subgroup 3. All intragroup analysis for A, B, and C were statistically significant. Group A presented the highest roughness (p<0.05), and no statistically significant evidence existed between groups B and C (p>0.05). Conclusion: The reduction of the roughness of the materials is dependent on their composition and the polishing and finishing techniques applied.

Background: The orthodontic traction of impacted canines represents a great challenge for Orthodontics. Surgical exposure of the impacted canine and the complex orthodontic mechanics applied to align the tooth back to the arch can lead to complications involving supporting tissues inducing gingival recession when the teeth are moved out of the alveolar bone. Aim: The aim of this study is to present an updated bibliographic review of the main periodontal results found in the literature after the clinical management of impacted canines and the prevalence of gingival recession. Materials and methods: Research in electronic databases PubMed, PMC, and MedLine until June 2020 and reference lists of relevant publications were used to identify studies that assessed the periodontal status of impacted and orthodontically tractioned canines. Controlled and randomized clinical trials, literature reviews, systematic reviews, studies in humans, meta- analyzes and text that had at least one occurrence relating to gingival recession, periodontal outcomes and impacted canines tractioned orthodontically, whether by buccal or palatal, superior and / or lower as the eligibility criteria. Results: 691 articles were found in a free search. After applying the eligibility criteria, 7 relevant articles were subtracted, and these results were more frequent for upper canines. Conclusion: Currently, there is no clear evidence to determine which surgical technique procedure is better to discover canines in terms of periodontal outcomes. The results found stated that clinically the evidence were insignificant when compared to teeth normally erupted.
Introdução: O tracionamento ortodôntico de caninos inclusos representa um grande desafio para a Ortodontia. A exposição cirúrgica do canino impactado e a complexa mecânica ortodôntica aplicada para alinhar o dente de volta ao arco podem levar a complicações envolvendo os tecidos de suporte, induzindo recessão gengival quando os dentes são movimentados para fora do osso alveolar. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica atualizada dos principais resultados periodontais encontrados na literatura após o manejo clínico de caninos impactados e a prevalência de recessão gengival. Materiais e métodos: Foram feitas pesquisas eletrônicas no PubMed, PMC e MedLine até junho de 2020 e uma listas de referência de publicações relevantes foram usadas para identificar estudos que avaliaram o estado periodontal de caninos impactados e tracionados ortodonticamente. Ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados, revisões de literatura, revisões sistemáticas, estudos em humanos, metanálises e textos que tiveram pelo menos uma ocorrência relacionada a recessão gengival, desfechos periodontais e caninos impactados tracionados ortodonticamente, seja por vestibular ou palatino, foram os critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados: Foram encontrados 691 artigos em busca livre. Após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, 7 artigos relevantes foram subtraídos, sendo esses resultados mais frequentes para caninos superiores. Conclusão: Atualmente, não há evidências claras para determinar qual técnica cirúrgica é melhor para descobrir caninos em termos de resultados periodontais. Os resultados encontrados afirmaram que clinicamente as evidências foram insignificantes quando comparadas a dentes normalmente

The biological sealing (BS) around implants is a dominant factor to determine the long-term success of peri-implant health. There are several features of the BS around implants in common with the soft tissue attached to teeth, such as the presence of crevicular fluid, acquired pellicle, epithelium; otherwise, the quality of the BS around implants is weaker compared with the junctional epithelium of natural teeth. Then, this article aimed to describe three cases report showing the presence of a BS (cuticle-crevice fluid-acquired pellicle) around the fixed crowns on dental implants in the anterior zone, through photographic analysis. It was used a Nikon 8100 camera with a 105 mm macro lens and a Macro Ring circular flash. A photographic profile examination was made always showing the clinical case and, specifically, the focal point in the crown-gingival tissue (prosthesis boundary and peri-implant tissue), highlighting the anatomical gingiva on the ceramic prosthetic crown at an angle between 140 to 160 degrees. Although cases 1 and 2 had 1-year follow-up and case 3 around 4 years, the common findings for all treatments done were: (i) oral rehabilitation with crowns on dental implants; (ii) patients satisfied with the esthetic and functional result; (iii) stability of the soft tissue around the crowns; (iv) all the patients had a good oral hygiene; (v) presence of a thin membrane associated with the acquire pellicle, similar to an annular cuticle, which we named cuticle-acquired pellicle complex or tertiary cuticle or prosthetic-implant cuticle. This complex (cuticle-crevicular fluid-acquired pellicle) is suggested to be the responsible by the BS on dental implants. Moreover, the cuticle (epithelial part in the peri-implant sulcus), although similar to teeth, may be considered a tertiary pellicle due to be found on ceramic crowns on dental implants, differently of the primary and secondary pellicle. Whitin the limitation of these three cases reports, the BS was reported and can be introduced the new concept of the "cuticle-crevicular fluid-acquired pellicle complex" or "prosthetic-implant cuticle".
