ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Sports etiology is one of the most common causes of maxillofacial injuries. This work aimed to provide an up-to-date review of sports-related maxillofacial injuries. METHODS: An updated review was conducted on Pubmed and Google Scholar. No publication year and language restrictions were applied. Two different search strategies were performed, the first addressed which sports, generally associated with maxillofacial injuries, and the second search was conducted to determine the frequency of maxillofacial injuries associated with each sport individually. RESULTS: The first search returned 26 articles distributed across different sports, from different countries, and with varied age distribution. The second search displayed 85 articles on individual sports group. Papers were rated and categorized according by the sport associated to the reported injury. A useful sports risk scale for maxillofacial injuries has been developed. Peculiar themes from all participating sports were evaluated. The use of protective equipment and other preventive measures were highlighted. CONCLUSIONS: Some sports with ball and cycling can be considered riskier sports for maxillofacial injuries. Athlete education and the mandatory use of mouthguards, helmets, and eye protection, among other things, are crucial to prevent these injuries. Tailor-made mouthguards and protective masks, which are becoming cheaper, are in vogue. The Sports-related Maxillofacial Injuries Risk scale can be useful for athletes, athletic coaches, and maxillofacial surgeons.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To construct, validate, and apply a questionnaire to assess and characterize the practice of self-medication performed by parents or children's guardians undergoing dental care. Material and Methods: A questionnaire was constructed, validated, and applied through personal interviews in the teaching clinics of two higher education institutions in the Federal District. Absolute and relative frequencies of categorical variables were calculated using descriptive statistics. Quantitative data were presented as mean and standard deviation. The chi-square test measured the association between the studied variables and self-medication. Results: One hundred and five participants were interviewed between August 2019 and November 2020. The average age of the participants was 37 (± 9) years, and most were mothers of the children who attended (78%) and users of the public health system (94.2%). The average family income was 1.88 minimum wage, and the most prevalent educational level was complete high school (40%). Conclusion: Despite the high level of knowledge about medication safety in children, self-medication was practiced in 50% of them. Difficulty in accessing dental treatment was mentioned by most as a justification. Self-medication was associated with dental pain, continuous medication use, and family self-medication habits.

ABSTRACT

It has recently been reported that machined and microrough (micro) Brazilian titanium (Ti) implants have good production standards. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo bone formation around 2 different implant surfaces placed in dog's mandible. Thirty-two screw-typed Ti implants were used in this study. Mandibular premolars were extracted in 8 dogs and, after 12 weeks, 2 machined (Neodent Titamax, Brazil) and 2 micro implants (Neodent Titamax Porous, Brazil) were placed in each animal. Biopsies were taken at 3 and 8 weeks post-implantation and stained with Stevenel's blue and Alizarin red for histomorphometric measurements of bone-to-implant contact (BIC), bone area between threads (BABT) and bone area within the mirror area (BAMA). Data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA (alpha=0.05). While at 3 weeks micro implants exhibited significantly more BIC than machined ones (55 +/- 12.5% and 35.6 +/- 15%, p<0.05), no significant difference in such parameter was detected at 8 weeks (51.2 +/- 21% and 48.6 +/- 18.1%, p>0.05). There were no significant differences in BABT and BAMA between the implants. Micro surfaces promoted higher contact osteogenesis. These data indicate that this commercial micro Ti implant surface enhances contact osteogenesis at an early post-implantation period when compared to the machined one.

Estudos recentes demonstram que implantes nacionais de titânio (Ti) usinados e micro-rugosos apresentam padrões adequados de produção. O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar a neo-formação óssea in vivo em 2 tipos diferentes de implantes colocados em mandíbulas de cães. Trinta e dois implantes rosqueáveis de Ti foram utilizados neste estudo. Os pré-molares mandibulares de 8 cães foram extraídos e, após 12 semanas, 2 implantes usinados (Neodent Titamax) e 2 implantes micro-rugosos (Neodent Titamax Porous) foram colocados em cada animal. Após 3 e 8 semanas da implantação os espécimes foram biopsiados, corados com Stevenel's blue e Alizarin red e analisados histomorfometricamente quanto à porcentagem de contato-osso-implante (COI), área de osso mineralizado entre as roscas (OMER) e área de osso mineralizado na área em espelho (OMAE). Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste de ANOVA a dois fatores. Os implantes micro-rugosos apresentaram maior COI do que os implantes controle em 3 semanas (55,0 ± 12,5 por cento e 35,6 ± 15,0 por cento; p<0,05), enquanto não houve diferença em 8 semanas (51,2 ± 21,0 por cento e 48,6 ± 18,1 por cento; p>0,05). Não houve diferença quanto ao OMER e OMAE. Esses dados nos indicaram que os implantes micro-rugosos utilizados neste estudo aumentam a osteogênese de contato nos períodos iniciais pós-implantação quando comparados com implantes usinados.

ABSTRACT

Multicystic ameloblastoma mainly affects adult patients between the third and seventh decades of life, frequently in the posterior region of the mandible. The resection of a mandible segment without adequate reconstruction produces serious esthetic and functional sequelae leading to a loss of quality of life. The objective of this study is to show that multidisciplinary treatment of ameloblastomas helps in total lesion excision associated with complete reconstruction of the damaged area. We present a 47-year-old male patient with an ameloblastoma in the posterior mandible who was treated with complete resection of a mandibular segment. Reconstruction, carried out during the same surgical procedure, was performed using an iliac crest bone graft fixed with titanium plates and screws. Rehabilitation was completed eight months later with teeth implants in the grafted area. The advantages of this procedure include recurrence risk reduction due to segmental resection, reliable mandibular reconstruction and less surgical procedures, allowing full rehabilitation within a shorter period of time.

ABSTRACT

O ameloblastoma multicístico acomete principalmente pacientes adultos, entre a terceira e a sétima década de vida, freqüentemente na região posterior de mandíbula. A ressecção de um segmento mandibular, sem reconstrução adequada, produz grave seqüela estética e funcional levando a uma perda da qualidade de vida. O objetivo desta apresentação é mostrar que o tratamento multidisciplinar do ameloblastoma possibilita radicalidade oncológica associada à completa reconstrução da área lesada. Apresentamos um paciente de 47 anos, acometido por um ameloblastoma em região posterior de mandíbula tratado com ressecção completa de um segmento mandibular. A reconstrução no mesmo tempo operatório utilizou enxerto ósseo de crista ilíaca fixado com placas e parafusos de titânio. Após oito meses completou-se a reabilitação com implantes de elementos dentários na área do enxerto. As vantagens deste procedimento incluem a diminuição do risco de recidivas pelo uso da ressecção segmentar, reconstrução mandibular confiável e diminuição do número de procedimentos cirúrgicos, permitindo completa reabilitação em um período mais curto de tempo.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of electro-acupuncture (EAC) on postoperative pain control after mandibular third molar surgery. Twenty four young patients (12 male and 12 female) with symmetrically impacted mandibular third molars were selected. Each patient was submitted to two separate surgical procedures under local anesthesia. At one side, extraction was carried out employing both prior (24h) and immediately postoperative application of EAC, while on the contralateral side surgery was carried out without any treatment. EAC was applied on 6 bilateral systemic and 2 auricular points with a WQ10Dl appliance using 40-60Hz frequency for 20 min and individually adjusted intensity. Postoperative pain intensity was rated on a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) between 2 and 72 h and recording the amount of analgesics intake after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using theWilcoxon test. Postoperative pain VAS scores were significantly lower for the EAC group (p<0.05) and analgesic intake decreased (p<0.05) for all evaluated periods (p<0.05). Under the tested conditions EAC therapy is efficient was proved controlling postoperative pain following mandibular third molar surgical removal.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: It has recently been reported that controlled chemical oxidation of titanium (Ti) with sulfuric acid (H(2)SO(4))/hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) significantly influences the early stages of in vitro osteogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether this chemical treatment can also influence in vivo bone formation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ti implants (Mk III) were etched with H(2)SO(4)/H(2)O(2) for 4 h at room temperature. Mandibular premolars were extracted in eight dogs and, after 3 months, three treated and three untreated implants were placed in each animal. At 3 and 8 weeks postimplantation, the animals were sacrificed, and the implants with surrounding bone were harvested, fixed with formaldehyde, and processed for embedding in LR White. Sections of bone with the implants were prepared, stained with Stevenel's blue and Alizarin red, and analyzed histomorphometrically for percentage of bone-to-implant contact (BIC), percentage of mineralized bone area between threads (BABT), and percentage of mineralized bone area within the mirror area (BAMA). Data were analyzed statistically using two-way analysis of variance. RESULTS: Treated implants exhibited significantly more (P<0.05) BIC than control, untreated ones both at 3 (68.1% vs. 27.9%) and 8 weeks (73.5% vs. 14.7%) postimplantation. However, there was no difference in the BABT and BAMA. Histological analysis confirmed that, in most cases, new bone in contact with the implant formed in a direction away from it. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that a controlled chemical oxidation of Ti implants significantly enhances contact osteogenesis and suggest that this treatment may be beneficial for early loading of implants.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar a eficácia da aplicação de eletro-acupuntura (EAC) na redução da dor após a exodontia de terceiros molares inferiores inclusos. Foram selecionados 24 pacientes jovens (12 homens e 12 mulheres) com inclusão bilateral de terceiros molares inferiores em posição similar. Cada paciente foi submetido aleatoriamente a dois procedimentos cirúrgicos em dias diferentes: em um deles o dente foi extraído com uma sessão pré-operatória (24 h) e uma pós-operatória imediata de EAC enquanto no outro a extração foi feita sem EAC. A EAC foi aplicada em 6 pontos sistêmicos bilaterais e 2 auriculares com um aparelho WQ10D1 utilizando freqüência de 40-60 Hz por 20 min com intensidade ajustada individualmente. A dor foi avaliada desde 2h até 72h pós-operatórias utilizando a escala visual análoga (EVA) de 100 mm e pelo consumo de analgésicos. Os dados foram comparados pelo teste deWilcoxon. Os escores de dor da EVA foram significantemente menores para o tratamento com EAC (p<0,05) enquanto o consumo de analgésico diminuiu (p<0,05) em todos os períodos (p<0,05). O tratamento com EAC mostrou-se eficiente no controle da dor pós-operatória após cirurgia de extração de terceiros molares inferiores inclusos.

ABSTRACT

De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) o Granuloma de Células Gigantes Central (GCGC) é uma lesão intra-óssea que consiste de tecido fibroso com focos múltiplos de hemorragia, agregação de células gigantes multinucleadas e, ocasionalmente, trabéculas de tecido ósseo. É uma lesão benigna incomum que soma menos de 7 por cento de todas as lesões benignas dos maxilares em regiões dentadas. Há controvérsias sobre a postura de alguns autores em diferenciar o Granuloma de Células Gigantes Central do Tumor de Células Gigantes. A etiologia ainda é incerta e várias teorias são propostas na literatura. Apresentam uma grande variação na apresentação clínica e na evolução, dependendo do grau de agressividade que demonstram. Acomete principalmente adultos jovens, com predileção pelo sexo feminino (2:1) e cerca de 2/3 dos casos relatados ocorreram na mandíbula, freqüentemente na região anterior. A escolha do tratamento, bem como a taxa de recorrência está na dependência de fatores como a idade do paciente, localização, extensão e comportamento clínico da lesão
