ABSTRACT
AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of dentifrice containing brazilian red propolis (BRP) in adolescents under orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods. This is a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial. A total of 92 participants free from caries were randomized into 2 groups; the first received fluoride dentifrice, and the second received fluoride dentifrice incorporated with BRP. The gingival bleeding index (GBI) was recorded, and saliva was collected on the baseline (D0) and after 28 days (D28) for microbiological analysis. Data from GBI and Colony Forming Units (CFU) (log10) were expressed as mean and standard deviation. RESULTS: The two groups reduced GBI significantly, with no difference in the intergroup analysis. In the intragroup analysis, it was observed that G2 (p < 0.001) had a significant reduction for Gram-negative bacteria, while there was significance (p < 0.001) had a significant reduction for Gram-negative bacteria, while there was significance (S. mutans bacteria, it was observed that only G2 had a statistically significant reduction (p < 0.001) had a significant reduction for Gram-negative bacteria, while there was significance (p < 0.001) had a significant reduction for Gram-negative bacteria, while there was significance (. CONCLUSIONS: Dentifrice containing BRP demonstrated better clinical and microbiological activity. Future studies are needed to better identify effects to establish the use of dentifrice containing propolis in biofilm control.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: o tratamento de pacientes desdentados com reabsorção alveolar severa é uma temática desafiadora na reabilitação protética. Identificada por Kelly em 1972, a síndrome da combinação é uma manifestação intraoral encontrada em pacientes totalmente desdentados na arcada superior, em oposição a uma prótese mandibular de extensão distal bilateral. Relato de caso: este estudo revisa e discute, por meio de um caso clínico, as características clínicas presentes em um paciente com manifestações da síndrome da combinação. Além disso, apresenta uma proposta de tratamento reabilita¬dor, restabelecendo a função fonética e a estética do paciente. Considerações finais: diagnosticar a síndrome e estabelecer um plano de tratamento adequado às necessidades do paciente, criando condições clínicas para o restabelecimento da saúde, são imprescindíveis para obter resultado e, assim, impedir o avanço do quadro clínico.

Objective: treatment of patients with reactivity with respiratory problems. Identified by Kelly in 1972, a combination syndrome and an intraoral manifestation found in fully edentulous patients in the upper arch as opposed to a mandibular prosthesis of bilateral distal extension. Case report: the present study reviews and discusses, through a clinical case, as clinical features present in a patient with manifestations of the combination syndrome, in addition, to present a proposal of rehabilitative treatment, restoring function, phonetics and esthetics to the patient. Final considerations: diagnosing a syndrome and establishing a treatment plan appropriate to the needs of the patient and creating clinical conditions for the reestablishment of health are essential to obtain the result and thus impeding the advancement of the clinical picture.
