ABSTRACT
With all the current misinformation on social media platforms about the COVID-19 vaccine and its potential effects on fertility, it is essential for healthcare providers to have evidenced-based research to educate their patients, especially those who are trying to conceive, of the risks to mothers and fetuses of being unvaccinated. It is well known that COVID-19 infection puts pregnant women at higher risk of complications, including ICU admission, placentitis, stillbirth, and death. In February of 2021, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) released a statement denying any link between COVID vaccination and infertility. ASRM later confirmed and stated that "everyone, including pregnant women and those seeking to become pregnant, should get a COVID-19 vaccine". In this review, we aim to provide a compilation of data that denies any link between vaccination and infertility for healthcare providers to be able to educate their patients based on evidence-based medicine. We also reviewed the effect of COVID-19 virus and vaccination on various parameters and processes that are essential to obtaining a successful pregnancy.

RESUMEN La recesión periodontal se define como un trastorno de instalación lenta, progresiva y destructiva, en la cual, la encía adherida de uno o varios dientes se encuentra apical a la unión cemento-esmalte. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal desde enero 2014 a diciembre 2016, en la Facultad de Estomatología de Villa Clara, con el objetivo de describir las principales complicaciones y la cicatrización del injerto libre de encía y el colgajo de reposición coronal asociado a injerto de tejido conectivo subepitelial. La muestra fue de 45 pacientes y 54 zonas de injerto. Las complicaciones postoperatorias más frecuentes fueron: el dolor, seguido de la gingivorragia postoperatoria y el edema, en los casos donde se empleó el injerto libre de encía. La cicatrización de la zona donante y receptora, evaluada de buena, fue superior con el empleo del colgajo de reposición coronal asociado al tejido conectivo subepitelial.
ABSTRACT Periodontal recession is defined as a destructive and slowly progressive disorder, in which the attached gingiva of one or several teeth is apical to the cement-enamel junction. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2014 to December 2016, in the Faculty of Dentistry of Villa Clara, with the aim of describing the main complications and healing of the free gingival graft and the coronally repositioned flap associated with subepithelial connective tissue graft. The sample consisted of 45 patients and 54 graft areas. The most common postoperative complications were pain, followed by postoperative gingival bleeding and edema, in cases where free gingival graft was used. The healing of the donor and recipient area, evaluated as good, was superior with the use of the coronally repositioned flap associated with subepithelial connective tissue.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con el propósito de describir la enfermedad periodontal inflamatoria crónica en 57 pacientes adultos obesos. Constituyeron variables de estudio, el sexo, la edad, el índice de masa corporal, la higiene bucal, la condición periodontal, la gravedad de la enfermedad y la dislipidemia. Entre los principales resultados del estudio se encontró que el 66,7 por ciento de los obesos eran enfermos periodontales; con relación al grado de obesidad, el 45,6 por ciento presentó grado II. Al analizar la gravedad de la enfermedad, predominó la periodontitis. La higiene bucal era regular o mala en la mayoría de los enfermos. La enfermedad periodontal apareció en mayor número en los obesos que padecían de dislipidemia(AU)
