ABSTRACT
Aim: To present a chin wing osteotomy in two patients who had undergone a virtual surgical planning workflow for surgical procedures and were followed up for 4 years. Case reports: Two retrognathic patients with normal occlusion were evaluated by means of dental and facial photographs, cone beam computed tomographs and digitization of dental arches. Virtual surgical planning was performed by using the Dolphin Imaging software to simulate the chin wing osteotomy. Next, three-dimensional models were imported into computer-aided design system (Rhino 6) for designing two hybrid (dental-bone supported) cutting and repositioning guides. Chin wing osteotomies were carried out by using the cutting guides and the osteotomized segments were placed by using L-shaped plates and screws assisted by the repositioning guides. Bone grafts were interposed in the mandibular angle region bilaterally. In both cases, the patients reported aesthetically and functionally favorable outcomes. Conclusion: Chin wing osteotomy is an appropriate treatment for retrognathic mandible in patients with normal occlusion and no additional discrepancies as the technique provided chin advancement and improvement in facial contour. The post-operative outcomes showed reliable workflow of virtual planning and surgical procedures, which could be adopted as an alternative in similar cases.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the 6-month clinical performance of class I occlusal composite resin restorations through a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, clinical trial. Material and Methods: Two hundred and eighty class I occlusal restorations were performed in 70 patients (aged between 17 to 50 years). The restorations were divided into four groups: G1 (Filtek P60/3M ESPE); G2 (Rok/SDI); G3 (Filtek™ P90/3M ESPE); G4 (Evolux/Dentsply). Two pre-calibrated dental practitioners performed and evaluated the restorative procedures regarding to color match, marginal discoloration, recurrent caries, wear (anatomic form) and marginal integrity according to the USPHS criteria. Results: In 85.8% of the evaluated restorations was observed the ideal score (A) for color match; 91.4% for marginal discoloration; 100% for recurrent caries; 87.7% for wear (anatomic form) and 99.3% for marginal integrity. Conclusion: The composite resins used in this study presented satisfactory and similar clinical performance in a 6-month clinical evaluation. (AU)
Objetivos: Avaliar através de um ensaio clínico randomizado duplo-cego e multicêntrico o desempenho clínico de restaurações classe I oclusais realizadas em dentes posteriores. Material e Métodos: Foram realizadas duzentas e oitenta restaurações em 70 pacientes dos gêneros masculino e feminino (entre 17 e 50 anos). As restaurações foram divididas em 4 grupos: G1 (Filtek P60/3M ESPE); G2 ( Rok/SDI); G3 Filtek TM P90/3M ESPE); G4 (Evolux/Dentsply). Dois operadores précalibrados avaliaram os procedimentos restauradores em relação a reprodução da cor, descoloração marginal, incidência de cárie, desgaste e integridade marginal de acordo com os critérios da USPHS. Resultados: De um total de restaurações avaliadas, 85,8% receberam score ideal (A) para reprodução da cor; 91,4% para descoloração marginal; 100% para incidência de cárie; 87,7% para contorno e 99,3% para integridade marginal. Conclusão: Os materiais empregados neste estudo apresentaram desempenho clínico satisfatório e semelhante após avaliação clínica de 06 meses. (AU)

INTRODUCTION: A mandibular setback reduces space in the pharyngeal airway, and it has been suggested that it might induce sleep-disordered breathing. OBJECTIVES: An evidence-based literature review was conducted to identify the effect of mandibular setback on the respiratory function during sleep. METHODS: The authors performed a systematic review of pertinent literature published up to 2014. A structured search of literature was performed, with predefined criteria. A survey of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane database was performed. A manual search of oral and maxillofacial surgery-related journals was accomplished. Potentially relevant studies then had their full-text publication reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 1,780 publications were evaluated, through which nine papers (seven case series and two case-control studies) were selected for the final review. No evidence of sleep disorder after six months was related in 223 patients. In one study, two patients developed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after surgery, and in another two studies, seven patients presented an increase of obstructive apneas/hypopneas events and oxygen desaturation index. Most of the patients analyzed were young and thin. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of postoperative sleep apnea syndrome after a mandibular setback surgery. However, one should always consider a potential reduction of the upper airway space during the treatment plan. Obese patients and those submitted to large amounts of mandibular setbacks present a higher chance to develop obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
