ABSTRACT
Resumo A biprotrusão apresenta-se com grande frequência na clínica ortodôntica e os pacientes, em sua maioria, são tratados através de exodontias dos primeiros pré-molares com retração da bateria anterior, permitindo uma retração do lábio superior e melhora na estética, harmonia facial e função. Nestes casos é importante uma ancoragem eficiente dos dentes posteriores, evitando a mesialização dos mesmos. O presente estudo possui como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de retração anterossuperior com utilização de mini-implante em um paciente com biprotusão dentária. Paciente do sexo masculino, melanoderma, 21 anos, apresentava Padrão Facial I de Capelozza, simetria facial, perfil convexo, protrusão da maxila, mandíbula e dos incisivos, Classe I de Angle, apinhamento anterior e ausências dentárias dos elementos 15 e 26. Durante o planejamento, optou-se pela exodontia dos primeiros pré-molares inferiores, alinhamento e nivelamento, retração em massa das baterias anteriores superiores e inferiores e a utilização de mini-implante na região superior posterior direita onde necessitaria de ancoragem absoluta. Entre as diversas formas de ancoragem, a utilização de mini-implante, de acordo com a bibliografia especializada, é uma das melhores opções, proporcionando um tratamento ortodôntico de qualidade, com ancoragem absoluta e menor tempo. Além disso, apresenta pequeno tamanho, o que facilita a instalação e remoção. As forças empenhadas são determinadas pelo ortodontista, recebem carga imediata, possuem estética, conforto e baixo custo. Outros métodos raramente permitem uma ancoragem máxima, além de apresentarem dificuldade de higienização, desconforto e dependem da colaboração do paciente.(AU)
Abstract Biprotrusion is very common in the orthodontic clinic. Most of these patients are treated by extractions of the first premolars with retraction of the anterior arcade, allowing retraction of superior lip and an improvement in aesthetics, facial harmony and function. In these cases, it is important to have an efficiently anchor for posterior teeth, avoiding mesialization. This study aims to report a clinical case of anterosuperior retraction using a mini-implant in a patient with dental biprotusion. Patient, melanoderma, 21 years old, male, facial Pattern I, facial symmetry, convex profile, maxilla, mandible and incisors protrusion, Angle Class I, anterior crowding, and tooth absences 15 and 26. During the planning, we opted for the extraction of the first inferior premolars, alignment and leveling, retraction of anterior teeth in superior and inferior arcade, and the use of mini-implants in the superior posterior right region where it would require absolute anchorage. Among the various forms of anchorage, the use of mini-implant, according to the specialized bibliography, is one of the best options, it leads a quality orthodontic treatment, absolute anchorage in a shorter period of time. In addition, they are small in size which facilitates installation and removal. The force applied is determined by the orthodontist, they receive immediate load, they have a good aesthetics, comfort and they have low cost. Other methods rarely allow maximum anchorage, and usually present difficulties in hygiene, discomfort, and depend on the patients collaboration (AU)

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with the physical health components (PHC) and mental health components (MHC) of health-related quality of life in adults. It is a population-based study, with household cluster sampling. The dependent variables were the PHC and MHC scores in the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12); the independent variables were social-demographic characteristics relating to health and behaviors. A multiple regression was made by the General Linear Model. Of the 841 interviewees, 31% had PHC adversely affected, and 37.2% had MHC adversely affected; 57% had adverse score in at least one domain. The average scores were 49.9 for the physical health component and 47.1 for the MHC. Higher scores on the PHC were associated with: being male (ß = 1.94), having a car in the family (ß = 0.89), having recently used dental services (ß = 1.86), not having a chronic disease (ß = 4.60), not using any medication (ß = 2.09), not being a smoker (ß = 2.04) and practicing physical activities (ß = 1.73). Higher scores on the MHC were associated with not using medication (ß = 1.91) and not being a smoker (ß = 1.26). There is a need for further studies and policies aimed at maintaining and/or recovery of the physical and mental wellbeing of adults without specific diseases.

Resumo Objetivou-se investigar fatores associados aos Componentes Físico (CF) e Mental (CM) da Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde (QVRS) entre adultos. Estudo de base populacional, com amostra domiciliar por conglomerados. As variáveis dependentes foram os escores do CF e CM do instrumento 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), as independentes foram reunidas em características sociodemográficas, relativas à saúde e comportamentais. Conduziu-se regressão múltipla pelo Modelo Linear Geral com correção pelo desenho amostral. Dos 841 entrevistados, 31% e 37,2% apresentavam comprometimento no CF e CM, respectivamente, e 57% apresentaram comprometimento em pelo menos um domínio. Os escores médios foram 49,9 para CF e 47,1 para CM. Ser do sexo masculino (β = 1,94), possuir automóvel na família (β = 0,89), ter utilizado serviços odontológicos recentemente (β = 1,86), não possuir doença crônica (β = 4,60), não fazer uso de medicamento (β = 2,09), não ser tabagista (β = 2,04) e praticar atividades físicas (β = 1,73) foram associados a maiores escores do CF, enquanto não fazer uso de medicamento (β = 1,91) e não ser tabagista (β = 1,26) a maiores escores do CM. Há necessidade de mais estudos e políticas voltadas à manutenção e/ou recuperação do bem estar físico e mental de adultos sem doenças específicas.
