Conclusão: O tratamento reabilitador com próteses obturadoras possui um bom resultado estético e funcional, favorecendo uma melhor função mastigatória e fonética, e melhorando consideravelmente a condição psicológica que é muito afetada nos pacientes submetidos a maxilectomia total ou parcial, sendo necessário uma boa interação com toda a equipe multiprofissional envolvida para que haja um melhor tratamento integrado para a reabilitação e melhora da qualidade de vida(AU)

Introduction: The treatment of malignant or benign tumors can result in surgical procedures, such as partial or total maxillectomy, generating oral communication in patients. One way to resolve these maxillofacial changes is through rehabilitative treatment with obturator prostheses in order to reestablish masticatory, aesthetic, phonetic and psychological function. Objective: the objective of this work was to report the clinical case of a cancer patient who was rehabilitated with an obturator prosthesis due to maxillectomy for malignant neoplasia of the maxillary sinus. Case report: A 62-year-old male patient sought dental care at the Oral Oncology Center of the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP) in Araçatuba ­ SP after undergoing a partial maxillectomy with oral cavity and was referred for the Specialization Course in Dental Prosthesis at the Faculty of Dentistry ­ Unesp/Araçatuba-SP for rehabilitation. It was proposed, firstly, to create an obturator prosthesis to close the bucosinusal communication and a total lower prosthesis for the antagonistic arch and, later, to create a facial prosthesis. Conclusion: Rehabilitative treatment with obturator prostheses has a good aesthetic and functional result, favoring better chewing and phonetic function, and considerably improving the psychological condition that is greatly affected in patients undergoing total or partial maxillectomy, requiring good interaction with the entire the multidisciplinary team involved so that there is better integrated treatment for rehabilitation and improved quality of life

The effect of maxilla impacted canine positions on root resorption of adjacent teeth using cone-beam computed tomography imaging

Objective@#To determine the effect of the impacted position of the maxillary canine on the root resorption of the adjacent incisor using Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. @*Methods@#This was an analytic quantitative study. The research sample determined CBCT images of treatment patients at the Orthodontic Specialist Policlinic in Dental Hospital of Airlangga University over a three-year period and secondary data taken from Pramita Laboratory. CBCT photos that met the inclusion criteria, including mesially impacted canine or close to central or lateral incisors with completely formed anatomy were then analyzed. Multiple linear regression was used to determine x-axis, y-axis, z-axis position of the impacted canine on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisor, and the effect of impacted canines on all axes simultaneously on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisors. @*Results@#The position of the impacted canine in the x-axis and z-axis planes had a significant influence on the root resorption of the adjacent incisor. Meanwhile, impacted canine from the y-axis plane showed non-significant influence on the root resorption. @*Conclusion@#The position of the impacted canine when viewed in all planes of the tooth axis has a significant effect on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisor

Preventive effects of systemic Pistacia eurycarpa Yalt. administration on alveolar bone loss and oxidative stress in rats with experimental periodontitis

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of systemic administration of P. eurycarpa Yalt. plant extract on alveolar bone loss and oxidative stress biomarkers in gingival tissue in a rat model of experimental periodontitis. Methodology: 32 male Wistar albino rats, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into four groups (n=8): Healthy control (HC), Experimental periodontitis control (EPC), Experimental periodontitis 400 mg/kg (EP400), Experimental periodontitis 800 mg/kg (EP800). Experimental periodontitis was induced using the ligating method. Distilled water was administered to the HC and EPC groups and the plant extract was administered to the EP400 and EP800 groups by oral gavage at doses of 400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg, respectively. The rats were sacrificed on the 15th day. The values of glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismustase (SOD), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI) in the gingival tissues were analyzed by ELISA tests. Alveolar bone loss was assessed using micro-CT images of the maxilla. Results: Although the IL-1β, TOS, OSI results of the healthy control group were lower than those of the other groups, the TAS values were higher (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in the biochemical parameters among the EPC, EP400, and EP800 groups (p>0.05). Alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the extract groups compared to the EPC group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it was observed that the systemic P. eurycarpa extract application reduced alveolar bone loss in a rat model of experimental periodontitis. Further studies are needed to elucidate the beneficial effects of P. eurycarpa.

Effect of different thread configurations on hydrophilic implant stability. A split-mouth RCT

Abstract This split-mouth randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the primary and secondary stability of hybrid implants with different thread configurations and hydrophilic surfaces. Twenty patients with a partially edentulous maxilla were selected. These patients received two types of implants with the same hydrophilic surface: CTP group: Cylindrical-Tapered implant with perforating threads; CTH: Cylindrical-Tapered implant with hybrid threads configuration (perforating and condensing threads). The primary and secondary stability parameters were measured by insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis at the time of implant placement and 7, 28, 56, and 90 days after the surgical procedure. The paired t-test was used to compare the data on the implant's stability between the groups. The statistical analysis was performed with a confidence level set at 95%. It was found that the implants in the CTH group presented higher primary stability values ​​at the time of implant placement, due to the higher ISQ (63.61 ± 9.44 vs. 40.59 ±7.46) and insertion torque (36.92 ± 16.50 Ncm vs. 28.00 ± 14.40 Ncm), than the implants in the CTP group. The CTH group presented higher ISQ values ​​in all follow-up periods: 7 days (68.67 ± 7.60 vs. 41.55 ± 9.07), 28 days (68.61 ± 5.98 vs. 47.90 ±13.10), 56 days (74.09 ± 3.96 vs. 55.85 ± 13.18), and 90 days (75.45 ± 4.02 vs. 63.47 ± 6.92) after implant placement. Hybrid implants with perforating and condensing threads demonstrated greater stability than hybrid implants with only perforating threads.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo controlado randomizado de boca dividida foi avaliar a estabilidade primária e secundária de implantes híbridos com diferentes configurações de rosca e superfícies hidrofílicas. Vinte pacientes com maxila parcialmente edêntula foram selecionados. Esses pacientes receberam dois tipos de implantes com a mesma superfície hidrofílica: Grupo CTP: Implante cilíndrico-cônico com roscas perfurantes; Grupo CTH: Implante cilíndrico-cônico com roscas perfurantes e condensadoras. Os parâmetros de estabilidade primária e secundária foram medidos por análise de torque de inserção e frequência de ressonância no momento da colocação do implante e 7, 28, 56 e 90 dias após o procedimento cirúrgico. O teste t-pareado foi utilizado para comparação dos dados de estabilidade entre os grupos. A análise estatística foi executada levando-se em consideração um nível de confiança de 95%. Constatou-se que os implantes do grupo CTH apresentaram maiores valores de estabilidade primária no momento da colocação do implante, devido ao maior ISQ (63.61 ± 9.44 vs. 40.59 ±7.46) e torque de inserção (36.92 ± 16.50 Ncm vs. 28.00 ± 14.40 Ncm), do que os implantes do grupo CTP. Implantes do grupo CTH apresentaram valores de ISQ superiores em todos os períodos de acompanhamento: 7 dias (68.67 ± 7.60 vs. 41.55 ± 9.07), 28 dias (68.61 ± 5.98 vs. 47.90 ±13.10), 56 dias (74.09 ± 3.96 vs. 55.85 ± 13.18) e 90 dias (75.45 ± 4.02 vs. 63.47 ± 6.92). Os implantes híbridos com roscas perfurantes e condensantes demonstraram maior estabilidade do que os implantes híbridos com apenas roscas perfurantes.

Relación entre la compresión maxilar y potencial impactación del canino superior: Scoping review

El canino maxilar permanente corresponde al segundo diente más frecuentemente impactado en el arco dental. La etiología de esta patología aún no está totalmente definida, sin embargo, investigadores plantean la deficiencia del ancho del hueso maxilar como una posible causa. Objetivo: Investigar la evidencia que asocia menores dimensiones transversales del maxilar a la ocurrencia de la impactación de caninos superiores y esclarecer la posible relación. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática exploratoria a partir de una búsqueda amplia de la literatura en bases de datos PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO y Multibuscador UNAB. Los artículos fueron recopilados, identificados y filtrados según el diagrama de flujo de declaración PRISMA. Resultados: La búsqueda identificó 755 estudios, de los cuales 14 fueron incluidos. Los estudios varían en diseño, edad de estudio y métodos de diagnóstico. La mitad de los estudios reporta una asociación positiva entre compresión maxilar e impactación canina superior, mientras que la otra mitad una asociación negativa. Conclusiones: No hay evidencia suficiente para poder asociar compresión maxilar con impactación de caninos superiores. Estudios con métodos de diagnóstico rigurosos son necesarios para una mejor comprensión. No obstante, se enfatiza la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz, para garantizar mejores resultados y pronóstico más favorable.

The permanent maxillary canine is the second most frequently impacted tooth in the dental arch. The etiology of this disease is not completely defined, yet some researchers propose the deficiency of the width from the maxilla as a possible cause. Objective: To investigate available evidence correlating smaller transverse maxilla dimensions with the occurrence of potential impaction of upper canines and clarify the possible relation. Materials and methods: A systematic exploratory review was carried out based on comprehensive search of the literature in databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO and UNAB multi search engine. The articles were compiled, identified and filtered systematically according to the PRISMA flow diagram. Results: Our search identified 755 studies, 14 of which were included. These studies vary in design, patients age, and methods for detection. Half of the studies show a positive correlation between maxillary compression and potential upper canine impaction, whereas the other half show a negative correlation. Conclusions: There is not enough evidence to link maxillary compression to upper canine impaction. Studies with rigorous diagnostic methods for detection are necessary for a better understanding of this relation. Nonetheless, the importance of early diagnosis must be emphasized to guarantee better results and a more favorable prognosis.

Extensive carcinoma cuniculatum of the maxilla: A rare variant of oral carcinoma

Carcinoma cuniculatum (CC), is a rare well-differentiated, low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. However, diagnosis of oral CC has remained very difficult, because many pathologists and clinicians remain un acquainted with oral CC, because there are very few reported cases of this disease in the oral cavity. To our knowledge, no more than 60 head and neck cases have been reported since Flieger and Owinski first described a case involving the mandible in 1977, because there are very few published cases of this disease in the oral cavity, the aim of this report is to provide a detailed clinical and histopathologic description of carcinoma cuniculatum of the maxila, provide a brief review of the literature, and highlight the difficulties in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

Validación y Comparación de un Nuevo Método para Predecir el Ancho Mesiodistal de Caninos y Premolares no Erupcionados en una Población Chilena de la Región de Valparaíso, Chile

Uno de los principales problemas durante la dentición mixta es la determinación de la futura discrepancia entre tamaño dentario y el espacio disponible. Para predecir el ancho mesiodistal de los dientes permanentes no erupcionados se han introducido diferentes métodos de análisis. Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio fue comparar el método Tanaka-Johnston con una nueva ecuación de regresión para predecir el ancho mesiodistal de caninos y premolares permanentes no erupcionados en una población de la región de Valparaíso, Chile. Material y método: Este estudio fue realizado en la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Valparaíso, desde octubre de 2022 a junio de 2023 (8 meses), la muestra estuvo compuesta por 202 modelos de estudio del departamento de ortodoncia (91 hombres y 111 mujeres) en el rango de edad de 11 -20 años. Resultados: Se demostró que el método elaborado por Lara-Sandoval presenta mayor fiabilidad respecto a las medidas mesiodistales reales de los pacientes (ICC 0,773 para maxilar y 0,762 para mandíbula), en comparación con el método de Tanaka-Johnston (ICC 0,665 para maxilar y 0,623 para mandíbula). No existen diferencias significativas entre los valores reales y el método de Lara-Sandoval. Conclusión: El método de Lara-Sandoval es mejor que el propuesto por Tanaka-Johnston para determinar el ancho mesiodistal de caninos y premolares para esta muestra. Es necesario validar este método en otras regiones del país para ser utilizado con mayor seguridad que el ya existente como método estándar nacional.

One of the main orthodontic problems in mixed dentition is the determination of future tooth and size arch discrepancy. In order to predict the mesiodistal widths of unerupted permanent teeth different methods of analyses have been introduced. The aim of this study is to compare the Tanaka-Johnston analysis with a new regressive equation to predict the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars in a Chilean population sample, from Valparaíso region. This study was conducted at the Universidad de Valparaíso Dental Faculty, from october 2022 to june 2023 (8 months), and the sample comprised historical dental casts from 202 patients (91 boys and 111 girls) in the age range of 11-20 from the orthodontics department. All the patients are from the Valparaíso region, Chile. The results show that the predictions of the new regressive equation method are closer to the actual mesiodistal measurements of the patients (ICC 0,773 for maxilla and 0,762 for mandible), compared to the Tanaka- Johnston method (ICC 0,665 for maxilla and 0,623 for mandible). There are no significant differences between the real values and the Lara-Sandoval method. Lara-Sandoval method is better than the one proposed by Tanaka-Johnston to determine the mesiodistal width of canines and premolars in this sample population. It is necessary to validate this method in other regions of the country to be used with greater security than the ones that already exists as a national standard method.

O uso do planejamento virtual na cirurgia ortognática / The use of virtual planning in orthognathic surgery

Introdução: A cirurgia ortognática envolve manipulação da arquitetura óssea facial, através de osteotomias, para restaurar a forma e a função, corrigindo a má oclusão, as desproporções maxilomandibulares e assimetrias faciais. O planejamento virtual em cirurgia ortognática é realizado com ajuda de softwares que utilizam as medidas reais do esqueleto craniofacial e registros da oclusão do paciente, através de uma análise 3D. Método: Foram avaliados 18 pacientes com deformidades dentofaciais, de acordo com a classificação de Angle submetidos a cirurgia ortognática com o uso do planejamento virtual, entre 2018 e 2019. Os critérios de inclusão foram pacientes entre 16 e 60 anos com desproporções maxilo-mandibulares nas quais o tratamento ortodôntico isolado não era suficiente. Os critérios de exclusão foram a presença de lesões císticas ou tumorais nos maxilares e comorbidades clínicas que contraindicavam a cirurgia. O planejamento virtual foi realizado em todos os pacientes, utilizando o software Dolphin® Imaging 11 e os guias cirúrgicos confeccionados em impressora 3D. Resultados: O guia cirúrgico intermediário apresentou adaptação perfeita nas faces oclusais promovendo grande estabilidade para o reposicionamento e fixação da maxila na oclusão intermediária. Os 18 pacientes operados responderam como "totalmente satisfeitos" em relação ao resultado estético-funcional nessa série estudada. Foi encontrada uma semelhança muito grande da posição do esqueleto maxilofacial no planejamento virtual préoperatório e o obtido no pós-operatório, através da avaliação das telerradiografias. Conclusão: O planejamento virtual em cirurgia craniomaxilofacial possui inúmeras vantagens, como diminuição do tempo laboratorial pré-operatório, maior precisão na confecção dos guias cirúrgicos e melhor reprodutibilidade dos resultados simulados.

Introduction: Orthognathic surgery involves the manipulation of facial bone architecture through osteotomies to restore form and function, correcting malocclusion, maxillomandibular disproportions, and facial asymmetries. Virtual planning in orthognathic surgery is carried out with the help of software that uses real measurements of the craniofacial skeleton and records of the patient's occlusion through 3D analysis. Method: 18 patients with dentofacial deformities were evaluated, according to Angle's classification, who underwent orthognathic surgery using virtual planning between 2018 and 2019. The inclusion criteria were patients between 16 and 60 years old with maxylo-mandibular disproportions in which orthodontic treatment alone was not sufficient. Exclusion criteria were the presence of cystic or tumoral lesions in the jaw and clinical comorbidities that contraindicated surgery. Virtual planning was carried out on all patients, using Dolphin® Imaging 11 software and surgical guides made with a 3D printer. Results: The intermediate surgical guide presented perfect adaptation on the occlusal surfaces, promoting great stability for the repositioning and fixation of the maxilla in intermediate occlusion. The 18 operated patients responded as "completely satisfied" in relation to the aesthetic-functional result in this series studied. A very great similarity was found between the position of the maxillofacial skeleton in the preoperative virtual planning and that obtained post-operatively through the evaluation of teleradiography. Conclusion: Virtual planning in craniomaxillofacial surgery has numerous advantages, such as reduced pre-operative laboratory time, greater precision in the creation of surgical guides, and better reproducibility of simulated results.

Evaluation the scanning accuracy of Blue-Light laboratory scanners in complete edentulous Maxilla with multiple implants with titanium scan bodies / Evaluación de la precisión de escaneado de los escáneres de laboratorio de luz azul en maxilares desdentados completos con implantes múltiples con cuerpos de escaneado de titanio

Abstract To evaluate the accuracy of complete arch scanning with multiple implant titanium scan bodies using laboratory scanners. A master model of an edentulous maxillary arch with 6 implants was fabricated. Titanium scan bodies were inserted into the model. Three laboratory scanners were used: D2000 (3Shape), Vinyl High Resolution (Smart Optics), and inEos X5 (Dentsply Sirona). The master model was consecutively scanned ten times using dental laboratory scanners (LS) without detaching and repositioning the scan bodies. Linear and angular accuracy between adjacent implants was measured using inspection software (Control X, Geomagic). The accuracy of the complete arch scans was calculated. Implant regions were defined as; parallel (R1: #24-26 and #16-14), angled (R2: #22-24 and #14-12), angled to occlusal plane (R3: #12-22), and cross-arch (R4: #16-26). The effect of LS and implant region on accuracy was compared using two-Way ANOVA (α=0.05). Significant greater linear distortion was noted in R4 (61.2±17.9µm) compared to R1 (23.4±15.5µm) and R2 (26±17.7µm) (p<0.01). Greater linear distortions were noted in R4 with D2000 (0.07±0.016 degrees) and Vinyl High Resolution (0.067±0.02 degrees) than inEos X5 (0.032±0.021 degrees) (p>0.05). Greater mean linear precisions were noted in R1 (9±8µm) and R3 (9.3±8.3µm) than R4 (12.6±10.3µm) (p<0.05). The highest linear precision was noted in D2000 (7.2±7.6µm) (p<0.05). The angular precision of D2000 (0.02±0.015 degrees) was the highest (p<0.01). The angular precisión of R4 (0.036±0.018 degrees) was the lowest (p<0.01). This study revealed that the trueness was affected by the implant region and the precision was affected by both LS and implant region.

Resumen Evaluar la precisión del escaneado de la arcada completa con cuerpos de escaneado de titanio de múltiples implantes utilizando escáneres de laboratorio. Se fabricó un modelo maestro de una arcada maxilar edéntula con 6 implantes. Se insertaron cuerpos de escaneo de titanio en el modelo. Se utilizaron tres escáneres de laboratorio: D2000 (3Shape), Vinyl High Resolution (Smart Optics) e inEos X5 (Dentsply Sirona). El modelo maestro se escaneó consecutivamente diez veces usando escáneres de laboratorio dental (LS) sin separar y reposicionar los cuerpos de escaneo. La precisión lineal y angular entre implantes adyacentes se midió utilizando un software de inspección (Control X, Geomagic). Se calculó la precisión de los escaneos completos del arco. Las regiones del implante se definieron como; paralelo (R1: #24-26 y #16-14), angulado (R2: #22-24 y #14-12), angulado al plano oclusal (R3: #12-22) y cruzado (R4: #16-26). El efecto de LS y la región del implante en la precisión se comparó mediante ANOVA de dos vías (α=0,05). Se observó una distorsión lineal significativamente mayor en R4 (61,2±17,9µm) en comparación con R1 (23,4±15,5µm) y R2 (26 ±17,7µm) (p<0,01). Se observaron mayores distorsiones lineales en R4 con D2000 (0,07±0,016 grados) y vinilo de alta resolución (0,067±0,02 grados) que en inEos X5 (0,032±0,021 grados) (p>0,05). Se observaron precisiones lineales medias mayores en R1 (9±8µm) y R3 (9,3±8,3µm) que en R4 (12,6±10,3µm) (p<0,05). La mayor precisión lineal se observó en D2000 (7,2±7,6 µm) (p<0,05). La precisión angular de D2000 (0,02±0,015 grados) fue la más alta (p<0,01). La precisión angular de R4 (0,036±0,018 grados) fue la más baja (p<0,01). Este estudio reveló que la veracidad se vio afectada por la región del implante y la precisión se vio afectada tanto por LS como por la región del implante.

Mucormicosis maxilar asociado a COVID-19, tratamiento médico-quirúrgico y manejo multidisciplinario. Reporte de caso / Maxillary mucormycosis associated with COVID-19, medical-surgical treatment and multidisciplinary management. Case report

Resumen Introducción: Durante la actual pandemia de COVID-19 múltiples complicaciones se han desarrollado posterior a la enfermedad, dentro de las cuales se encuentran las infecciones fúngicas, como la mucormicosis, que puede resultar directamente de la infección por COVID-19 y/o como efecto secundario de los fármacos utilizados en su tratamiento. La mucormicosis es una infección causada por un grupo de hongos llamados mucormycetes; a nivel rinocerebral se presenta con celulitis facial, cefalea, proptosis, movilización del diente afectado y secreción nasal. Reporte de caso: Se presenta a un paciente femenino de 57 años con antecedente de neumonía grave por COVID-19 con posterior desarrollo de absceso periodontal que ameritó extracción del segundo molar superior derecho con posterior formación de fistula. Se toma TC de macizo facial donde se evidencia erosión ósea con pérdida de la morfología habitual y en pared anterior del seno maxilar derecho. Se realiza biopsia reportando tejido óseo con elementos micóticos (hifas aseptadas) morfológicamente compatibles con mucor sp. Se realizó tratamiento con anfotericina B y hemimaxilectomia derecha. Actualmente se encuentra en tratamiento con pozaconazol, y lavados quirúrgicos. Conclusión: La enfermedad de COVID-19 es una enfermedad muy común actualmente a nivel mundial, por lo que es importante identificar y llevar un seguimiento de aquellas personas con factores de riesgo para desarrollar mucormicosis; el diagnóstico y un plan de tratamiento temprano es fundamental para evitar complicaciones, las cuales pueden originar un desenlace fatal.

Abstract Introduction: During the current pandemic of COVID-19 multiple complications have developed after the disease, among which are fungal infections, such as mucormycosis, which can result directly from COVID-19 infection and/or as a side effect of the drugs used in its treatment. Mucormycosis is an infection caused by a group of fungi called mucormycetes; at the rhinocerebral level it presents with facial cellulitis, headache, proptosis, mobilization of the affected tooth and nasal secretion. Case report: the following is a 57-year-old female patient with a history of severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 with subsequent development of periodontal abscess that merited extraction of the upper right second molar with subsequent fistula formation. The patient started an infection with the presence of purulent secretion in the extraction area of the right molar. A CT scan of the facial mass was taken showing bone erosion with loss of the usual morphology in the right upper maxillary bone and anterior wall of the right maxillary sinus, as well as a biopsy of the right maxilla reporting bone tissue with mycotic elements (aseptates hyphae) morphologically compatible with mucor sp. Treatment with amphotericin B and right hemimaxillectomy was performed. She is currently being treated with pozaconazole and surgical washings. Conclusion: COVID-19 disease is currently a very common disease worldwide, so it is important to identify and follow up those people with risk factors for developing mucormycosis; early diagnosis and treatment plan is essential to avoid complications, which can lead to a fatal outcome.

Múltiples Dientes Supernumerarios en Paciente Pediátrico No Sindrómico. Una Revisión de la Literatura y Presentación de Caso Clínico / Multiple Supernumerary Teeth In A Non-Syndromic Pediatric Patient. A Review Of The Literature and Presentation of a Clinical Case

Aquellos casos en que se excede la fórmula dentaria normal primaria de 20 dientes o definitiva de 32 dientes se conocen como dientes supernumerarios o hiperodoncia. Los supernumerarios se pueden presentar de manera única o múltiple y de forma heteromórfica o eumórfica. El supernumerario más prevalente es el mesiodens, se da más en hombres, en dentición permanente y en el maxilar. Su etiología no está confirmada, pero puede deberse a una hiperactividad de la lámina dental. El tratamiento varía de acuerdo a cada paciente según si está afectando a la dentición normal o no y el desarrollo que tengan las estructuras dentarias. El siguiente reporte de caso habla de un paciente de 6 años, no sindrómico, en donde se presentó con un mesiodens erupcionado y se encontraron más supernumerarios gracias a la radiografía complementaria.

Those cases in which the primary normal dental formula of 20 teeth or the final one of 32 teeth is exceeded are known as supernumerary teeth or hyperdontia. The supernumeraries can be presented in a single or multiple way and in a heteromorphic or eumorphic way. The most prevalent supernumerary is the mesiodens, it occurs more in men, in the permanent dentition and in the maxilla. Its etiology is not confirmed, but it may be due to hyperactivity of the dental lamina. The treatment varies according to each patient depending on whether it is affecting the normal dentition or not and the development of the dental structures. The following case report talks about a 6-year-old, non- syndromic patient, who presented with an erupted mesiodens and more supernumeraries were found thanks to the complementary radiography.

Atypical Location of Oral Metastasis as the First Manifestation of Renal Carcinoma. Case Report / Localización Atípica de Metastasis Oral como Primera Manifestación de Carcinoma Renal. Reporte de Caso

Oral cavity metastatic tumors derived from primary tumors from other corporal regions are rare, representing barely 1 % of all malignant tumors. Differential diagnosis of these lesions is challenging due to the wide spectrum of lesions with similar clinical presentation and especially when the presence of a primary tumor goes undetected. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a painless tumor in the anterior maxillary region, vestibular gingiva and palate, with a 2-month evolution. Anatomopathological diagnosis was malignant clear cell tumor, highly suggestive of clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis, and the oral lesion constituted the first sign of illness.

Los tumores metastásicos de cavidad oral derivados de tumores primarios de otras regiones corporales son raros, representando apenas el 1 % de todos los tumores malignos. El diagnóstico diferencial de estas lesiones es desafiante debido al amplio espectro de lesiones con presentación clínica similar y especialmente cuando la presencia de un tumor primario pasa desapercibida. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 55 años con una tumoración indolora en región maxilar anterior, encía vestibular y paladar, de 2 meses de evolución. El diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue de tumor maligno de células claras, altamente sugestivo de metástasis de carcinoma renal de células claras, y la lesión bucal constituyó el primer signo de enfermedad.

Estudio Anatómico y Prevalencia del Canalis sinuosus Evaluado Mediante Cone Beam CT en Pacientes Chilenos / Anatomical Study and Prevalence of Canalis sinuosus Evaluated by Cone Beam CT in Chilean Patients

Canalis sinuosus, canal intraóseo localizado en región maxilar anterior, contiene elementos vasculonerviosos alveolares anterosuperiores. Diversas intervenciones en región maxilar anterior como colocación de implantes, exodoncias, instalación de microtornillos ortodóncicos, procedimientos quirúrgicos, entre otros, pueden comprometer al Canalis sinuosus y/o sus canales accesorios dañando los elementos contenidos en su interior causando complicaciones como hemorragias, parestesia, disestesia, etc. Dado el gran desconocimiento de su existencia, el Canalis sinuosus frecuentemente es confundido con lesiones patológicas y/o endodónticas. Clásicamente la literatura lo describe como una variación anatómica variación anatómica, sin embargo, presenta elevadas prevalencias (51,7 %-100 %), siendo cuestionada esta aseveración. Determinar prevalencia y característica s anatómicas del Canalis sinuosus mediante Cone Beam CT en pacientes chilenos del centro radiológico IMAPROX® entre 2017- 2021. Análisis retrospectivo de 220 CBCT maxilares anonimizados, considerando variables sexo, presencia del Canalis sinuosus, Canalis sinuosus uni/bilateral, diámetro mayor del Canalis sinuosus, presencia/número de accesorios. Análisis estadístico uni y bivariado. 100 % de prevalencia del Canalis sinuosus en ambos sexos, presencia bilateral 100 %. Diámetro mayor promedio del Canalis sinuosus: 2,58 mm. El 76,8 % presentó accesorios, siendo más prevalente la presencia de 2 CA (34,1 %). Una estructura anatómica normal habitual debe presentar sobre 50 % de prevalencia para ser considerada como tal, pero no hay consensos en criterios empleados para definir variación anatómica o estructura anatómica normal habitual. Literatura describe al Canalis sinuosus como variación anatómica, pero estudios actuales muestran elevadas prevalencias: Rusia 67 %, Brasil 88 %, Turquía, Colombia y Chile 100 %. Este estudio encontró 100 % de prevalencia, sugiriendo que Canalis sinuosus es una estructura anatómica normal habitual. Sin embargo, Canalis sinuosus es poco conocido asociándose a numerosas complicaciones por procedimientos odontológicos y/o quirúrgicos en RMA pudiendo generar hemorragias, parestesia/disestesia, dolor agudo, etc. Elevadas prevalencias reportadas sugieren que Canalis sinuosus es una estructura anatómica normal habitual y no una variación anatómica, pero se requieren más estudios y consensos para aseverarlo. Es de relevancia clínica conocer la existencia y localización del Canalis sinuosus para evitar complicaciones.

Canalis sinuosus, an intraosseous canal located in the anterior maxillary region, contains anterosuperior alveolar vascular-nervous elements. Various interventions in anterior maxillary region such as implant placement, extractions, installation of orthodontic microscrews, surgical procedures, among others, can compromise the Canalis sinuosus and/or its accessory canals, damaging the elements contained inside, causing complications such as bleeding, paresthesia, dysesthesia, etc. Given the great ignorance of its existence, Canalis sinuosus is frequently confused with pathological and/or endodontic lesions. Classically, the literature describes it as an anatomical variation, however, it presents high prevalence (51.7 %-100 %), this assertion being questioned. Objective: to determine the prevalence and anatomical characteristics of Canalis sinuosus using Cone Beam CT in Chilean patients from the IMAPROX® radiological center between 2017-2021. Retrospective analysis of 220 anonymous maxillary CBCT, considering variables sex, presence of Canalis sinuosus, uni/bilateral Canalis sinuosus, largest diameter of Canalis sinuosus, presence/number of accessory canals. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis. The 100 % prevalence of Canalis sinuosus in both sexes, 100 % bilateral presence. Canalis sinuosus average major diameter: 2.58 mm, 76.8 % presented accessory canals, with the presence of 2 accessory canals being more prevalent (34.1 %). A habitual normal anatomical structure must have a prevalence of over 50 % to be considered as such, but there is no consensus on the criteria used to define anatomical variation or normal anatomical structure. Literature describes Canalis sinuosus as anatomical variation, but current studies show high prevalence: Russia 67 %, Brazil 88 %, Turkey, Colombia and Chile 100 %. This study found 100 % prevalence, suggesting that Canalis sinuosus is an normal anatomical structure. However, Canalis sinuosus is little known as it is associated with numerous complications from dental and/or surgical procedures in anterior maxillary region, which can cause bleeding, paresthesia/ dysesthesia, acute pain, etc. High reported prevalences suggest that Canalis sinuosus is an normal anatomical structure and not an anatomical variation, but more studies and consensus are required to confirm this. It is clinically relevant to know the existence and location of Canalis sinuosus to avoid complications.

Brote dentario precoz. Un acercamiento a la realidad

Introducción: Las tendencias seglares influyen en el crecimiento y desarrollo general del individuo. El brote dentario no escapa a esta realidad. Existen variables que pueden retardarlo o acelerarlo, dentro de las que se encuentran el sexo y el color de la piel. Objetivos: Determinar la cronología y el orden de brote de los dientes permanentes en niños y adolescentes. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo desde mayo de 2017 a noviembre de 2020. El universo constituido por 21383 niños y adolescentes entre 5 y 13 años de edad, de la provincia Holguín, Cuba, que no presentaban pérdida prematura de dientes temporales o extracciones de dientes permanentes, ni enfermedades sistémicas que influyen en el crecimiento y desarrollo. En el procesamiento estadístico se utilizaron las medidas de resúmenes para las variables cuantitativas y el test de comparación de las medias. Resultados: La edad de brote de todos los dientes permanentes resultó adelantada en comparación con las tablas para su valoración clínica. El primer diente en brotar fue el primer molar superior, entre los 5,66 años, y el último el segundo molar maxilar, entre los 10,38 años. Al comparar las medias de brote de los dientes permanentes según el sexo, hubo diferencias altamente significativas en la arcada superior: primer premolar (p = 0,000), arcada inferior: canino (p = 0,009), primer premolar (p = 0,000) y segundo molar (p = 0,012). Se encontraron diferencias altamente significativas entre las medias de brote para el color de la piel en el maxilar: incisivo central (p = 0,004), incisivo lateral (p = 0,000), canino (p = 0,002), mandíbula: incisivo central (p = 0,000), incisivo lateral (p = 0,000) y segundo premolar (p = 0,000). Conclusiones: La cronología de brote de todos los dientes permanentes resultó adelantada. Los dientes permanentes siguieron la secuencia de brote, tal como describe Mayoral. Se encontraron diferencias al comparar las medias de brote según el sexo y color de la piel(AU)

Introduction: Secular tendencies influence the overall growth and development of the individual. Tooth eruption does not escape this reality. There are variables that can delay or accelerate it, among which are sex and skin color. Objectives: To determine the chronology and order of eruption of permanent teeth in children and adolescents. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2017 to November 2020. The universe constituted by 21383 children and adolescents between 5 and 13 years of age, from Holguín province, Cuba, who did not present premature loss of primary teeth or extractions of permanent teeth, nor systemic diseases that influence growth and development. Statistical processing used summary measures for quantitative variables and the comparison test of the average values. Results: The age of teething of all permanent teeth was advanced in comparison with the tables for clinical assessment. The first tooth was the upper first molar at 5.66 years of age and the last tooth was the maxillary second molar at 10.38 years of age. When comparing the teething averages of the permanent teeth according to gender, there were highly significant differences in the upper arch: first premolar (p = 0.000), lower arch: canine (p = 0.009), first premolar (p = 0.000) and second molar (p = 0.012). Highly significant differences were found between bud means for skin color in maxilla: central incisor (p = 0.004), lateral incisor (p = 0.000), canine (p = 0.002), mandible: central incisor (p = 0.000), lateral incisor (p = 0.000) and second premolar (p = 0.000). Conclusions: The teething chronology of all permanent teeth resulted advanced. The permanent teeth followed the teething sequence as described by Mayoral. Differences were found when comparing the teething averages according to gender and skin color(AU)

En la tomografía computada se observa una lesión que corresponde a las carácterísticas de un quiste. La histología muestra una combinación de dos tipos de epitelio, pseudostratificado columnar y estratificado escamoso, confirmando que se trataba de un quiste del canal nasopalatino.

Brown tumors of the jaw: an atypical manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism / Tumores pardos de mandíbula: una manifestación atípica de hiperparatiroidismo primario

Abstract Brown tumors represent the terminal stage of bone remodeling processes in primary hyperparathyroidism. Currently they are rare, and typically affect long bones, pelvis and ribs. Brown tumors may be not included in the initial differential diagnosis of bone disease, espe cially when they are present in atypical localizations. We reported two cases of oral brown tumors as the initial presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism. In the first case, a 44-year-old woman presented a painful and sessile lesion of 4x3 cm over the central body of the mandible which progressively increased in 4-month. The second case involved a 23-year-old woman who was referred with a 3-month history of a painful and ulcerated mass of 2 cm arising from left maxilla, episodes of gingival hemorrhage and difficulty of breathing. Both cases were solitary tumors with no evidence of palpable cervical lymphadenopathy. Incisional biopsy of oral tumors resul ted in giant cell and primary hyperparathyroidism was confirmed by laboratory tests. After parathyroidectomy, histology confirmed adenoma in both cases. Although this type of clinical presentation has almost disappeared in the recent decades, brown tumors should be consi dered in the differential diagnosis of bone oral masses.

Resumen Los tumores pardos son raros y, por lo general, afectan huesos largos, pelvis y costillas. Pueden no estar incluidos en el diagnóstico diferencial inicial como manifestación de enfermedad esquelética, es pecialmente cuando se presentan en localizaciones atípicas. Comunicamos dos casos de tumores pardos orales como presentación inicial de hiperparatiroidismo primario. En el primer caso, una mujer de 44 años presentó una lesión dolorosa y sésil de 4 × 3 cm sobre el cuerpo central de la mandíbula que aumentó de tamaño progresivamente en 4 meses. El segundo caso corresponde a una mujer de 23 años que acudió por presentar una masa dolorosa y ul cerada de 2 cm en maxilar izquierdo de 3 meses de evolución, episodios de hemorragia gingival y difi cultad para respirar. Todos fueron tumores solitarios sin evidencia de linfadenopatía cervical palpable. La biopsia incisional de los tumores orales resultó en células gigantes, y las pruebas de laboratorio confirmaron el hiperparatiroidismo primario. Tras la paratiroidectomía, la histología confirmó adenoma en ambos casos. Los tumores pardos representan la etapa terminal de los procesos de remodelación ósea en el hiperparatiroidismo primario. Aunque este tipo de presentación clínica casi ha desaparecido en las últimas décadas, los tumores pardos deben ser considerados en el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas óseas orales.
