ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence of unilateral disc displacement (DD) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) on the stress in the contralateral joint, with a normally-positioned disc, during clenching. STUDY DESIGN: A finite element model of the TMJ was constructed based on MRI and 3D-CT of a single patient with a unilateral DD. A second model with bilateral normally-positioned discs served as a reference. The differences in stress distribution in various TMJ components during clenching were predicted with these models. RESULTS: In the unaffected joint of the unilateral DD model, the largest von Mises stress at the start of clenching was predicted in the inferior surface of the disc and increased by 30% during clenching. In the connective tissue the largest stress (1.16 MPa) did not reduce during clenching, in contrast to the (unaffected) joints of the reference model. In the affected joint, the largest stress was predicted in the temporal cartilage throughout clenching. In the surrounding connective tissue, the largest stress (1.42 MPa) hardly changed during clenching indicating no, or negligible, stress relaxation. CONCLUSIONS: This suggested that a unilateral DD could affect the stresses in the unaffected (contralateral) joint during clenching, where it may lead to weakening of the tissues that keep the disc on the top of the condyle. The results may be helpful in counseling worried patients, since they give insight into possible future developments of the disorder.

ABSTRACT

Con el objetivo de explorar entre los cirujanos dentistas el conocimiento de la recomendación de la Asociación Americana del Corazón (AHA) para la prevención de endocarditis bacteriana (EB), se circuló un cuestinario en una muestra no probabilística de 674 dentistas en la ciudad de México y su zona metropolitana. Resultados: doscientos ochenta y dos dentistas (41.8 por ciento) reportan haber atendido a pacientes con antecedentes de fiebre reumática. El antibiótica reportado como primera opción fue la penicilina G (43 por ciento), seguido de la amoxicilina (33.7 por ciento). Como opción para los pacientes alérgicos a la penicilina, los dentistas que contestaron el cuestionario eigieron la eritromicina en un 85 por ciento y el 11.7 por ciento clindamicina. En cuanto al tiempo previo a la cita que se tiene que administrar el antibiótico, el 46 por ciento lo hace con 48 horas de anticipación, y el 14.5 por ciento una hora antes. La actividad clínica que más se asoció a la necesidad de cobertura antibiótica fue la exodoncia (85.9 por ciento). Conclusiones: los resultados anteriores sugieren que hay un desconocimiento de la última recomendación de la AHA entre los dentistas que participaron en el estudio, por lo que se deben buscar estrategias de actualización que permitan prevenir la posible aparición de EB en los pacientes de riesgo que acuden al consultorio dental
