ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess dentists' knowledge from Minas Gerais, Brazil, about dentoalveolar trauma (DT) and their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: An online questionnaire with 34 questions was applied to collect personal data, professional training, self-assessment of experience/knowledge about DT, experience in care provided during the social distancing, and knowledge/conduct. The specific responses were evaluated based on the guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT). Descriptive analysis and Pearson's chi-square test were performed. The level of significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: Most professionals (97.7%) had received information on DT, and only 4.6% of the participants considered their knowledge poor or very poor. However, 92.7% felt the need for more information on the subject. Regarding experiences during the pandemic, 55.7% provided trauma care during that period. Forty percent of the consultations were performed in person, and 33.3% of the professionals noted an increase in cases during the pandemic; 56.6% reported that the frequency did not change. The overall mean number of correct answers about DT was 5.29±2.11, indicating an acceptable level of knowledge. The mean percentage of hits for the specific questions was 44.1%. Conclusion: Although the level of knowledge of the dentists evaluated was acceptable, some aspects were deficient, with the need for more information about the IADT guidelines.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Animal hoarding is a special manifestation of hoarding disorder, characterized by the accumulation of animals and failure to provide them with minimal care. The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the characteristics of animal hoarding, focusing on the profile of affected individuals and the features of accumulation behavior. Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in the electronic databases MEDLINE, Scopus, and LILACS until October 2022. We included case series (n ≥ 10) and cross-sectional studies assessing animal hoarding. Results: A total of 374 studies were initially retrieved. Most studies were classified as having poor quality and significant risk of bias. A total of 538 individuals with animal hoarding were evaluated. These individuals were predominantly middle-aged, unmarried women who lived alone in urban areas. Most of their residences had unsanitary conditions. Recidivism rates varied from 13-41%. Cats and dogs were the main hoarded species, mostly acquired through unplanned breeding, and disease, injury, behavioral problems, and a lack of hygiene were characreristic of their condition. Animal carcasses were found in up to 60% of the properties. Conclusion: Animal hoarding is a complex condition that requires urgent attention. More research is necessary to develop effective strategies that can save community resources, improve animal and human welfare, and prevent recidivism.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: To prevent the spread of the The novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV), some classic public health measures are being taken, such as social distancing and quarantine METHOD: Studies were identified using large-circulation international journals found in two electronic databases: Scopus and Embase. RESULTS: The prolonged confinement is evidently related to psychological damage, considering that individuals would be subjected to stressors for a longer period of time . In some cases, these psychic losses lasted for many months after the end of this confinement CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to develop and implement actions to minimize the population psychological distress in meeting the needs of the communities affected by COVID-19 Thus, as it occurred in China, it is necessary that the other affected nations promote the publication of regulations that guide the implementation of mental health services and the allocation of resources, in order to ensure that individuals are monitored by competent professionals, thus reducing the psychological damage that can be motivated by the social isolation period during the quarantine.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma avaliação da condição do primeiro molar permanente, após três anos de um exame inicial. Foram verificados índice de cárie e o diagnóstico clínico e radiográfico deste elemento. Da amostra inicial - M1 (n = 49), 26 crianças foram avaliadas em M2. Clinicamente foi observado que 66,4% dos primeiros molares de M2 (n = 104) estavam hígidos, 6,7% cariados e 26% restaurados; 79 molares puderam ser avaliados radiograficamente em ambos os momentos. Destes, 53 (67,1%) permaneceram hígidos. Conclui-se que a maioria dos primeiros molares permanentes avaliados clinica e radiograficamente em ambos momentos permaneceu hígido. A incidência de envolvimento por cárie da superfície oclusal foi de 18,7% após 3 anos.

ABSTRACT

A ulceração aftosa recorrente (UAR) é uma das doenças mais comuns da mucosa bucal. Apesar das constantes investigações, sua etiologia permanece desconhecida e uma abordagem terapêutica curativa ainda não existe. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo investigar o perfil hematológico, os níveis séricos de vitamina B12, de ácido fólico e de ferro em pacientes com UAR e compará-los com os indivíduos de controle. Para tanto foram incluídos neste estudo quarenta pacientes com UAR e quarenta indivíduos de controle sem histórico conhecido da doença, emparelhados por sexo e idade. Os prontuários dos pacientes foram analisados, bem como os resultados dos exames laboratoriais: contagem de eritrócitos, hemtócrito, volume corpuscular médio, níveis de hemoglobina, de vitaminas B12, de ácido fólico e de ferro. Dez por cento dos pacientes com UAR apresentaram anemia e 7,5 por centoexibiram deficiência de vitamina B12 e de ácido fólico. Em 12,5 por cento dos casos foi observada deficiência de ferro. Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos quanto às variáveis hematológicas e nutricionais investigadas, apesar de os pacientes com UAR terem exibido níveis inferiores de vitamina B12. Conclui-se que as alterações hematológicas e nutricionais analisadas não exibiram associação com UAR. Entretanto, o hemograma, as dosagens séricas de ferro, de ácido fólico e, principalmente, de vitamina B12 deveriam ser incluídos na investigação de pacientes com UAR, uma vez que a diminuição da espessura da mucosa promovida pelas alterações desses elementos pode predispor ao desenvolvimento de lesões aftosas

ABSTRACT

Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was subcutaneously implanted into calvarian skin of male Wistar rats (n = 40). Low-level laser (lambda 685 nm, 4 J/cm(2)) was locally applied in experimental group (n = 20) above the skin flap. Grafts were harvested at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after surgery and underwent histological analyses. In treated animals, the extent of edema and the number of inflammatory cells were reduced (P < 0.05). The amount of collagen in graft treated with low-level laser were significantly higher than those of controls (P < 0.05) and were statistically more prominent on the 14th day after surgery. The mean count of fibroblasts was significantly higher in the low-laser therapy group within the 3rd day, showing a marked influx of fibroblasts into area. In conclusion, wound healing of the ADM appear to be positively affected by laser therapy.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar os fatores de risco e a prevalência de cárie em um grupo de crianças infectadas pelo HIV (GI), e em crianças sem evidência clínica de imunossupressão (GII). Métodos: Foram avaliados 133 pacientes de um Ambulatório de AIDS Pediátrica do Rio de Janeiro e 85 pacientes da Clínica de Odontopediatria da mesma instituição. Os responsáveis foram entrevistados, respondendo a questões sobre higiene bucal, dieta e medicação. As crianças foram examinadas, para determinação do índice de cárie (ceo/CPOD). O teste de Mann-Withney verificou a associação entre as variáveis, com significância de 5%. Resultados: Os dois grupos (GI: 6,8 e GII: 8,1 anos de idade) não apresentaram diferença significante no ceo/CPOD (ceo: 6,4 e 8,0; CPOD: 1,0 e 1,4 para GI e GII respectivamente). O GII apresentou mais elementos restaurados (p<0,05), assim como maior frequência de escovação (p<0,05). Nos dois grupos verificou-se que a maioria das crianças realizava escovação sem a supervisão de um adulto. Observou-se associação significante entre o ceo e o hábito de ingestão de sacarose entre as refeições no GII, embora no GI o hábito de ingestão de sacarose entre as refeições tenha sido maior (p<0,05). Foi constatado que 78,9% das crianças do GI faziam uso da terapia antirretroviral combinada, e que a forma de administração da medicação apresentou alto potencial cariogênico (45,1%). Conclusão: Os dois grupos apresentaram exposição a fatores de risco e alta prevalência de cárie. O hábito de ingestão de sacarose entre as refeições, em crianças sem evidência clínica de imunossupressão, demonstrou-se importante, associado à alta prevalência de cárie na dentição decídua.


Objective: To determine the risk factors and prevalence of caries in HIV infected children (GI) and in children with no evidence of immunosupression (GII). Methods: One hundred and thirty-three patients of a Pediatric AIDS Ambulatorial Service in Rio de Janeiro and 85 patients of a Pediatric Dentistry Service were examined. The patient´s guardians were interviewed, and provided information about children´s oral higyene, use of medication and dietary habits. The children were examined to determine DMFT and dmft indexes. The Mann-Whitney test was performed ata level of significance of 5%. Results: The two groups (mean age: G1=6.8 years, GII=8.1 years) showed no significant difference in dmft/DMFT indexes (dmft: 6.4 and 8.0; DMFT: 1.0 and 1.4 for GI and GII), but GII showed a higher number of restored teeth (p<0.05). GII showed also a higher frequency of toothbrushing (p<0.05), and in both groups, most of the children brushed their teeth withouth any adult supervision. Sucrose ingestion between meals was higher for GI (p<0.05). In GI 78.9% had been using combined antiretroviral therapy and the cariogenic potential of thetherapy administration classified as high was the most frequently observed (45.1%). Significant association was observed only between dmft and sucrose ingestion in GII. Conclusion: GI and GII were exposed to risk factors for a high caries prevalence. The habit of sucrose ingestion between meals was considered an important factor associated with the high prevalence of caries in deciduous dentition in children with no clinical signs of immunosupression.

ABSTRACT

Biopsy of the sentinel lymphnode (SLNB), the first lymphnode to receive lymphatic drainage from the primary tumor, accurately predicts the axillary lymph node status and, when negative, obviates the need for axillary lymphadenectomy (AL). The aim of this study was, to verify the SLN localization in breast cancer through preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and intraoperative gamma-probe, as well as to demonstrate the benefits of such techniques in preventing complications of AL. Medical records of 228 patients with breast carcinoma, who were underwent SLN localization and, radioguided surgery, from March 2005 to December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. Data regarding age, tumor characteristic, breast involved, type of surgery, radiopharmaceutical drainage pattern, axillary assessment (SLNB or AL) and number of lymph nodes dissected were collected. It was ascertained that radioguided surgery is a selective method of axillary assessment in breast cancer, which makes this technique a safe alternative to radical assessment of total dissection of axillary lymph nodes and its subsequent complications.


A biópsia do linfonodo sentinela (BLNS), primeiro linfonodo a receber a drenagem linfática do tumor primário, é capaz de predizer o status linfonodal axilar e, quando negativa, evitar a linfadenectomia axilar (LA). O objetivo deste estudo é, mediante análise de uma série de casos, verificar a localização do LNS no câncer de mama através da linfocintilografia pré-operatória e do gama-probe intra-operatório, bem como demonstrar os benefícios de tais técnicas na prevenção das complicações da LA. Analisou-se, retrospectivamente, 228 prontuários de pacientes portadoras de carcinoma de mama, que foram submetidas à localização do LNS e, posteriormente, à cirurgia radioguiada, no período de março de 2005 a dezembro de 2007. Coletaram-se dados referentes à idade, característica do tumor, mama acometida, tipo de cirurgia, padrão de drenagem do radiofármaco, abordagem axilar (BLNS ou LA) e número de linfonodos dissecados. Pôde-se constatar que a cirurgia radioguiada é um método seletivo de abordagem axilar no câncer de mama, o que faz dessa técnica uma alternativa segura à abordagem radical de dissecção completa dos linfonodos axilares e suas complicações posteriores.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper was to evaluate if the healing of wound sites containing oxidized regenerated cellulose hemostat can be optimized by laser therapy. BACKGROUND DATA: Topical hemostatic agents may be used to control bleeding in a variety of surgical sites. Hemostatic oxidized regenerated cellulose can cause strange body reactions and formation of granulomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six male Wistar rats averaging 6 wk of age, weighing 250 g each, were anesthetized had a standard 0.5-cm(2) block of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) inserted into an incision on the back of the tongue. Postoperatively the animals were randomly divided into two groups of 18 animals each: one was irradiated and one was not irradiated (control). In the treatment group, transmucosal laser therapy was applied in one area (Ga-Al-As laser, 4 J/cm(2), lambda = 685 nm, 35 mW, varphi = 0.06 mm) and consisted of four sessions, with one session carried out every 48 h. The animals were killed at three different times: G1 (1 d), G2 (3 d), and G3 (7 d). Tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and then analyzed. RESULTS: It was observed that the treated group exhibited a greater reduction in edema and inflammatory infiltrate. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that laser therapy at 685 nm could improve the healing process, even when the inflammatory process has been stimulated by oxidized regenerated cellulose hemostat.

ABSTRACT

Mudanças no tamanho de uma glândula salivar podem indicar doenças sistêmicas. Porém, é difícil avaliar corretamente estas mudanças somente através de exame clínico. Métodos complementares podem auxiliar de forma fundamental no diagnóstico. Por causa da importância de se identificar pequenos cálculos nas glândulas salivares como a causa de um conjunto de sintomas, radiografias intrabucais etomografia computadorizada são os melhores exames para uma avaliação inicial. A sialografia pode ser utilizada na avaliação de sialoadenites crônicas. Os autores discutem estes e outros exames,como a cintilografia e a ultra-sonografia, no diagnóstico e no tratamento das patologias das glândulas salivares

ABSTRACT

Salivary dysfunction may be due to systemic diseases and medications. The development of sialoliths is a multifactorial event in which disturbances in secretion, microliths, and bacteria may play a major role. A case of sialolith in the submandibular gland of a 58-year old woman, with a medical history of renal failure end kidney transplant, is reported.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo foi relacionar a infecção salivar por bactérias Gram-positivas e Gram-negativas com a atividade de cárie e a condição gengival em 29 crianças, de 3 a 12 anos de idade. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos distintos quanto a presença (G1) ou à ausência (G2) de cavidades cariosas. Realizou-se o teste salivar Nocaries®, e a condição gengival e o índice de cárie foram avaliados. Não houve associação entre infecção salivar por bactérias Gram(-) e doença gengival. No G1, foi observada relação entre a presença de infecção salivar por bactérias Gram (+) e atividade de cárie.

ABSTRACT

O micronúcleo é uma porção de cromatina resultante de mitoses aberrantes que permanece próxima ao núcleo celular. A avaliação da freqüência desta alteração tem sido utilizada para medir o grau de injúria genotóxica ao qual células animais estão expostas. Neste estudo foram utilizadas as colorações de Feulgen e de Papanicolau com o objetivo de avaliar a freqüência de células micronucleadas e de micronúcleos na língua de indivíduos expostos ao etanol. Observou-se maiores freqüências de células micronucleadas e de micronúcleos nos indivíduos expostos ao etanol em relação ao grupo de controle em ambos os métodos de coloração. O método de Feulgen, no entanto detectou diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos de estudo tanto em relação às células micronucleadas quanto aos micronúcleos

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to carry out a five-year retrospective descriptive follow-up of the oral manifestation frequency, systemic condition and type of medication used in HIV-infected children and adolescents after the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy. Fifty-eight patients were examined in 2001/2002, and their previous medical and dental records (1997 to 2000) were researched from files. There was an occurrence of 7 new cases of AIDS in a sample of 19 children, while 46.5% of the entire sample (n = 58) progressed as to classification of HIV infection. No difference was noted among the frequencies of oral manifestations, categories of the immunosuppression and viral load categories. The oral manifestations in the group of children and adolescents followed up in this study remained stable, even after treatment with combined antiretroviral therapy. However, a downward trend in the frequency of oral candidiasis and parotid enlargement was noted.
