ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of administering inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANB) for the first time with or without a previous practical lesson using a simple manufactured simulator. METHODS: This was a study designed to compare students' first administration of IANB anesthesia during 2022, with or without a previous practical lesson. Students were randomized into two groups. The experimental group attended both theoretical lessons and a practical lesson with a simulator device, while the control group attended only theoretical lessons. The theoretical lesson included usual contents such as anatomy, physiology, technical maneuvers for administering anesthesia, tips, and complications, and the practical lesson consisted of the administration of anesthesia using a simple manufactured simulator. After students applied their first IANB, its efficacy, and their answers to a questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale were recorded. Statistical analysis consisted of the Chi-square test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: The study recorded 60 anonymous surveys. The main difference observed was in instrument handing (p < 0.05), and there was a tendency in the ease of recognition of the anatomical marks used for the technique-pterygomandibular raphe and coronoid notch of the mandible (p = 0.08 and 0.11, respectively). No difference in success was observed (p > 0.05). Self-confidence and personal feelings did not differ statistically. All students agreed strongly or partially that training with the simulator model was helpful. CONCLUSION: Students who used simple manufactured simulators achieved better outcomes for instrument handling, and possibly for identification of anatomical landmarks, than those who received only theoretical lessons.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the etiology and characteristics of trigeminal nerve injuries referred to a specialized center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A retrospective analysis was performed of patients referred from February 2016 to January 2020. Age, sex, intervention performed, nerve affected, time elapsed from injury, diagnosis, location, and whether patient had signed informed consent were recorded. A descriptive analysis of the data was made, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for prevalence. The study sample consisted of 30 subjects (31 nerve injuries), 19 female and 11 male, average age (±SD) 40 ± 17 years. The inferior alveolar nerve was the most frequently injured nerve (74%,) while the lingual nerve accounted for 26%. The most common etiologies were inferior molar extractions (47%), dental implants (20%), and local anesthesia (13%). Other etiologies were autologous mandibular bone grafts for dental implants, removal of cysts associated with the inferior third molar, and endodontic treatment. Dental Institutions at which treatment was provided were found to be significantly associated with patients being warned and asked to sign informed consent (p<0.05), while dentists working at private offices requested fewer consents. The most frequent symptom was paresthesia, and 5 patients suffered spontaneous or evoked pain. Only 2 patients intended to file legal claims. Dentists should be aware of the debilitating effects resulting from trigeminal injuries, the complexity of their resolution and the importance of carefully planning dental procedures to prevent them.


El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la etiología y características de las lesiones del nervio trigémino remitidas a un servicio de referencia especializado en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de los pacientes remitidos desde febrero de 2016 a enero de 2020. Se registraron edad, género, intervención recibida, nervio afectado, tiempo transcurrido desde la lesión, diagnóstico, ubicación y firma del consentimiento informado previo a la intervención Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos y se calcularon intervalos de confianza del 95%. La muestra del estudio consistió en 30 sujetos (31 lesiones nerviosas), 19 mujeres y 11 hombres, con una edad promedio (± DE) de 40 ± 17 años. Aproximadamente 3 de cada 4 lesiones correspondieron al nervio alveolar inferior, representando el resto al nervio lingual. Las etiologías más frecuentes fueron la extracción dentaria (47%), los implantes dentales (20%) y la aplicación anestesia local (13%). Otras etiologías fueron la regeneración ósea para la colocación de implantes mandibulares, la extirpación de quistes asociados al tercer molar inferior y el tratamiento endodóntico. Se encontró que el tipo de establecimiento donde se realizó el procedimiento odontológico que generó la lesión, se asoció significativamente con los pacientes a los que se les advirtió y se les pidió que firmen el consentimiento informado (p<0.05); los odontólogos que trabajan en consultorios privados obtienen una menor proporción de consentimientos que los de las instituciones. El síntoma más frecuente fue la parestesia y 5 pacientes sufrieron dolor espontáneo o evocado. Solo 2 pacientes tenían intención de iniciar acciones legales. Teniendo en cuenta que son lesiones potencialmente permanentes, y de resolución compleja, la comunidad odontológica debe realizar especiales esfuerzos para disminuir esta complicación.

ABSTRACT

The dimensions of the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth are not maintained post tooth-extraction probably as a consequence of the bone remodeling process and the biomechanical demands on bone. The use of biomaterials as bone substitutes in the post-tooth-extraction socket promotes bone repair, regardless of damage to bone structures during the surgical procedures. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of anorganic bovine bone matrix (ABBM) as a bone substitute, in an experimental model of post-tooth extraction bone healing in the rat. Radiographic follow-up was performed at 7, 14, and 30 days, and showed persistence of the biomaterial inside the experimental alveoli. At 14 and 30 days post-tooth extraction, particles surrounded by bone tissue were observed in the middle sector of the alveoli. The osteoconductive property of ABBM was demonstrated using the present experimental model of active osteogenesis, thus showing its usefulness as a bone substitute. Persistence of the particles at the studied experimental time points did not affect post-tooth extraction bone healing.

Las dimensiones del hueso alveolar que rodea a la pieza dentaria, no se mantienen después de la exodoncia. Este hecho seria consecuencia del proceso de remodelado óseo y del requerimiento biomecánico. La utilización de biomateriales como sustitutos óseos en los alveolos, facilitan o promueven la reparación ósea, independientemente que se haya producido traumatismo de las estructuras óseas durante la maniobra quirúrgica. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la efectividad de una matriz ósea esponjosa anorgánica (MOEA) como sustituto óseo, en un modelo experimental de reparación ósea en el alveolo post-extracción en ratas. Se realizo el estudio radiográfico en los distintos tiempos experimentales: 7, 14 y 30 dias, evidenciando la persistencia del biomaterial. A los 14 y 30 días post-exodoncia se evidenciaron las partículas rodeadas de tejido óseo en el sector medio del alveolo. Es importante destacar que la utilización de (MOEA), como sustituto óseo en el alveolo post-exodoncia de rata, evidencio su capacidad osteoconductiva. La persistencia de las partículas del biomaterial en los tiempos estudiados no interfirió en la reparación ósea.

ABSTRACT

Se denominan piezas dentarias supernumerarias a aquellas que se forman adicionalmente a la denticiónnormal. El sitio de presentación más frecuente es el sector anterior del maxilar superior; siendo la zona de lospremolares mandibulares la siguiente ubicación de prevalencia de acuerdo al orden de incidencia. Además esesta ubicación la más frecuente en el caso de piezas supernumerarias múltiples no asociadas a síndromes.El tratamiento de elección de estas piezas es el quirúrgico (exodoncia) cuando están retenidas o en malposi-ción, ya que la actitud expectante frente a esta patología puede verse seguido de futuras complicaciones.
