ABSTRACT
Dental caries is one of the major diseases of the oral cavity affecting humans worldwide. Different alternatives have been used for its control, but its incidence and prevalence are still high. On the other hand, silver has been used for centuries due to its antimicrobial properties. With advances in nanotechnology, the use and research in nanomaterials has increased, recently, and silver nanoparticles have become an essential part of the dental practice, giving materials physical and chemical improvements in their properties, used for their antibacterial capacity preventing and arresting dental caries. The objective of this review was to examine the use of silver nanoparticles, in the treatment of dental caries in the remineralization of teeth hard tissues, as well as the antimicrobial potential, cytotoxicity, and long-term effectiveness.
ABSTRACT
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an uncommon inherited enzyme deficiency characterized by hemolytic anemia, caused by the inability of erythrocytes to detoxify oxidizing agents such as drugs, infectious diseases, or fava bean ingestion. In this later case, the disorder is known as favism. The aim of the present report was to present a review of the literature in this disease, to describe a case report concerning an affected 9-year-old male, and to review the main implications and precautions in pediatric dental management.
ABSTRACT
El Síndrome de DiGeorge pertenece a un grupo de los trastornos más comunes que ocurren de la deleción del cromosoma 22, región q11, caracterizado principalmente por la ausencia de timo y paratiroides de forma congénita. Este síndrome se asocia a trastornos cardiacos, del timo, paratiroides, craneofaciales, del desarrollo neurológico y manifestaciones conductuales. También se han reportado alteraciones en la mineralización del esmalte, que pueden estar relacionadas al hipoparatiroidismo e hipocalcemia. El objetivo de este reporte dé caso es describir las características del síndrome así como su manejo estomatológico restaurativo y preventivo...
DiGeorge syndrome belongs to a group of the most common disorders that occur from the deletion of chromosome 22, region q 11, characterized principally by the lack of thymus and parathyroid congenitally. This condition is associated with heart diseases, craniofacial defects, neurodevelopmental and interactive manifestations. Have also informed changes in enamel mineralization, which may be associated to hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia. The purpose of this case report is to describe the features of the syndrome and its dental care restorative and preventive...
