ABSTRACT

Introducción: En 1980, Schmitt introdujo el término «fiebre-fobia» para referirse al miedo injustificado que los padres presentaban ante la fiebre de los niños. Más de 35 años después, el temor infundado persiste. El objetivo principal de este trabajo era realizar una encuesta a los trabajadores de cuatro hospitales públicos y analizar el grado de conocimiento sobre la fiebre en niños. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y multicéntrico. Se enviaron 4.830 encuestas anónimas por correo electrónico a los participantes, entre el 15 de septiembre y el 15 de octubre de 2015. Se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico mediante el programa SPSS v22.0. Se estimó como suficiente un tamaño muestral de 450 respuestas, con un error <4,4% y un intervalo de confianza del 95% (heterogeneidad del 50%). Resultados: Se obtuvieron 462 respuestas de los participantes. Un 75% eran mujeres, un 56% tenían menos de 35 años, un 81% eran profesionales sanitarios y un 60% tenían hijos. Respecto al conocimiento sobre la fiebre, un 83% cree que deben usarse las medidas físicas (no recomendado), un 60% piensa que el tratamiento precoz previene las convulsiones (falso), un 56% considera que siempre se debe tratar aunque el niño se encuentre bien (erróneo) y un 41% cree que se deben combinar antitérmicos (incorrecto). Un 86% de los encuestados reconoce que la fiebre-fobia existe. Hay diferencias significativas en los resultados entre sanitarios y no sanitarios, entre encuestados con hijos y sin hijos, e incluso entre sexos. Conclusiones: Un importante porcentaje de los trabajadores hospitalarios, médicos y pediatras incluidos, desconocen las actuales recomendaciones sobre la fiebre en niños. Este desconocimiento favorece la persistencia de la fiebre-fobia, un miedo contagioso que da lugar a tratamientos innecesarios. Se requiere una adecuada transmisión de la información a las familias, pero cualquier esfuerzo será ímprobo mientras los sanitarios no nos creamos nuestras propias recomendaciones (AU)


Introduction: In 1980, Schmitt was the first to coin the term "fever phobia" to describe parents’ unrealistic fears about fever. More than 35 years later, this unfounded fear remains. A survey is conducted in Spain to the workers of four public hospitals. Knowledge about fever in children is analyzed, being the main aim of the study. Patients and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and multicenter study was conducted from 15th September 2015 to 15th October 2015. 4,830 anonymous surveys were sent by e-mail. A sample size of 450 replies was estimated as sufficient, with a miscalculation <4.4% and a confidence interval of 95% (50% heterogeneity). SPSS v22.0 was used for statistical data analysis. Results: Out of 462 responses were received. Seventy five per cent were women, 56% were under 35 years old, 81% were healthcare professionals and 60% were parents. Results concerning fever knowledge were: 83% affirm that physical methods should be used (not recommended), 60% think that seizures could be prevented with early treatment of fever (false), 56% support that fever should always be treated, even if the child is healthy (wrong) and 41% encourage that antipyretics should be alternated (incorrect). Eighty six per cent of the workers recognized that the fever phobia exists. There are significant differences in responses depending on healthcare and non-healthcare professionals, on being parents or not, and even on gender. Conclusions: A significant percentage of hospital workers, including doctors and pediatricians, are unaware of the existing recommendations on fever in children. This ignorance favors the persistence of fever-phobia, an infectious fear that leads to unnecessary treatments. Adequate transmission of information to families is needed, but every effort will be arduous while healthcare professionals do not believe their own recommendations (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Dental primary implant stability is considered essential in the success of the osseointegration process. The recent advent of the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) seems to effectively measure primary implant stability, although its relationship with implant survival has to be further established. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy patients with complete mandibular edentulism underwent dental implant rehabilitation by means of the placement of 68 dental implants within the interforaminal region and subsequent placement of an overdenture. Primary implant stability was measured by means of RFA and it was expressed in terms of implant stability quotient (ISQ) on the day of the implant insertion and at the time of the healing abutment placement in a conventional implant two-stage surgical procedure. RESULTS: Overall implant survival rate was 97.1% at the end of the follow-up period. The mean ISQ value for 3.75 and 4.25 mm diameter implants was 78.4 ± 5.46 and 80.83 ± 5.35 respectively, at the time of the implant placement; and 76.68 ± 4.34 and 78.22 ± 6.87 respectively, at the second surgical stage. No statistical differences were observed in relation to changes in mean ISQ value along the healing process. CONCLUSIONS: No statistical differences in terms of primary and secondary implant stability measured by RFA exists between 3.75 mm and 4.25 mm diameter implants in the conventional implant two-stage surgical procedure in patients with non-atrophied edentulous mandible being restored with an overdenture. Furthermore, no statistical association between RFA and the implant insertion torque was observed for endosseous dental implant placement at the first surgical stage.

ABSTRACT

La carga inmediata en la mandíbula se ha incorporado a la prácticaclínica en primer lugar y, por las características del hueso, se realiza deforma protocolizada. Sin embargo, en el maxilar superior no hay evidenciacientífica para realizarlo de forma cotidiana. Las razones son debidas aque el maxilar superior, en general, alberga una masa ósea de menor densidad.Por otro lado, en el maxilar superior pueden coexistir diferentes densidadesóseas (según la clasificación de Misch) en el mismo individuo. Además,por las características anatómicas del maxilar superior (reabsorciónlabiopalatina) el alineamiento axial es asumible pero, sin embargo, el paralelismode los implantes es difícil.16,17El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la información científica de laque disponemos para confirmar si es posible la carga inmediata sobre elmaxilar superior. Para ello estudiaremos varios aspectos de la carga inmediataen el maxilar superior:• Sobredentaduras• Prótesis fija completa• Prótesis parcial fija• Prótesis unitaria fija• Requerimientos protésicos• Contraindicaciones(AU)


Immediate loading in the mandible has been introducedinto clinical practice taking first place and, and because of thecharacteristics of the bone, this is carried out following a protocol.However, in the maxilla there is no scientific evidence for routinelycarrying this out. This is because the maxilla, in general, has a lowerbone mass density. Moreover, in the maxilla various densities maycoexist (according to Misch’s classification) in the same individual.In addition, given the anatomic characteristics of the maxilla (lipand palate resorption), axial alignment can be carried out, butimplant parallelism is difficult.16,17The aim of this paper is to analyze the scientific information thatwe have at our disposal in order to confirm whether immediateloading in the maxilla is possible. For this we will study variousaspects of immediate loading in the maxilla:• Overdentures• Fixed complete prostheses• Fixed partial prostheses• Fixed single tooth prostheses• Prosthetic requirements• Contraindications(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los cordales ectópicos son aquellos incluidos enposiciones inusuales o desplazados a distancia de su normal localizaciónanatómica. La erupción ectópica de un diente dentro de la cavidad oral escomún pero en otros lugares es raro. La erupción ectópica puede ir asociadacon alteraciones en el desarrollo, procesos patológicos o yatrogenia.Caso Clínico. Mujer de 56 años de edad con tercer molar superior derechoectópico a nivel de región infraorbitaria-seno maxilar. Presentaba dolor einflamación hemifacial derecha de larga evolución y resistente a tratamientomédico. Se realizó exéresis quirúrgica de dicho cordal mediante abordajede Caldwell-Luc.Discusión. En muchos casos la etiología de un cordal ectópico no puedeser identificada. La mayor parte de las veces son asintomáticos y diagnosticadosmediante estudios radiológicos.Conclusión. La indicación de la exodoncia en el caso de un diente ectópicoen general viene determinada por la presencia de sintomatología o enprevención de futuras complicaciones(AU)


Introduction. Ectopic third molar teeth are those that areimpacted in unusual positions, or that have been displaced and areat a distance from their normal anatomic location. Ectopic eruptionof a tooth within the oral cavity is common, but rare in other sites.Ectopic eruption can be associated with developmental disturbances,pathologic processes or iatrogenic activity.Case Report. Female, fifty-six years old, with an upper right ectopicthird molar located in the maxillary sinus-infraorbital region. Shepresented with pain and inflammation of the right side of her facethat she had been experiencing for along time and which had beenresistant to treatment. Surgical excision was carried out of the thirdmolar tooth using the Caldwell-Luc approach.Discussion. In many cases the etiology of ectopic third molars cannotbe identified. Generally they are asymptomatic and diagnosed byradiology studies.Conclusion. The indication for extraction in ectopic teeth cases isin general determined by the presence of symptomatology, or bythe need for preventing future complications(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. El síndrome de Frey puede surgir como complicación tras cirugía de la glándula parótida. Este artículo pretende analizar la prevención de dicho síndrome tras cirugía parotídea cuando se realiza laelevación de un colgajo de sistema músculo aponeurótico superficial (SMAS).Material y Método. Presentamos un estudio retrospectivo con 81 pacientes a los que se realizó cirugía sobre la glándula parótida, en el Servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial del Hospital Infanta Cristina de Badajoz desde Octubre de 1997 hasta Febrero de 2005.Resultados. La técnica más comúnmente realizada en nuestro Servicio fue la parotidectomía superficial conservadora (68%). El grupo más numerosolo formaron aquellos pacientes en los que se realizó colgajo de SMAS y no desarrollaron posteriormente síndrome de Frey con un total de 56 casos (69%).Conclusión. Consideramos adecuada la realización de colgajo de SMAS en cirugía parotídea, para disminuir la frecuencia de aparición del síndrome de Frey (AU)


Objective. Frey’s syndrome may occur as a complication following parotid gland surgery. The aim of this article is to analyze the prevention of this syndrome after parotid surgery during which a superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap is elevated.Material and Methods. A retrospective study is presented of 81 patients who underwent parotid gland surgery in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Hospital Infanta Cristina, Badajoz, from October 1997 to February 2005.Results. The most common technique used in our department was the superficial conservative parotidectomy (68%). The most numerous group was made up of patients with SMAS flaps who did not go on to develop Frey’s syndrome, with a total of 56 cases (69%).Conclusion. We consider carrying out a SMAS flap in parotid surgery appropriate for reducing the frequency with which Frey’s syndrome appears (AU)
