Cirurgia Odontológica em Paciente Portador de Hipofibrinogenemia / Dental Surgery In Patient With Hypofibrinogenemia

O fibrinogênio é uma proteína do sangue, fundamental na fase final de coagulação sanguínea. A hipofibrinogenemia é uma doença hemorrágica rara, em que ocorre uma deficiência quantitativa na produção do fibrinogênio. Os sintomas variam de acordo com a quantidade de fibrinogênio produzido pelo organismo e sua capacidade de funcionamento. Pacientes diagnosticados com essa condição que necessitem de cirurgia odontológica demandam de planejamento multidisciplinar. O presente estudo teve por objetivo relatar a conduta pré, trans e pós-operatória de um paciente portador de hipofibrinogenemia, com necessidade de cirurgia odontológica para exodontia de terceiros molares. O procedimento foi planejado pelo cirurgião-dentista em conjunto com o hematologista, em que os devidos cuidados foram adotados para segurança e conforto do paciente. A cirurgia foi realizada sem intercorrências e com sangramento compatível a não portadores dessa alteração... (AU)

Fibrinogen is an essential blood protein involved in the final stage of blood coagulation. The hypofibrinogenemia is a rare bleeding disorder that promotes a quantitative deficiency in the fibrinogen production. Symptoms vary according to the quantity of fibrinogen synthesis and its function in the organism. Patients diagnosed with this condition will demand multidisciplinary treatment planning in erder to have oral surgery procedures. The aim of this study was to report pre, trans, and postoperative management of a patient with hypofibrinogenemia requering oral surgery for third molars extraction. The procedure was planned by the dental surgeon in conjunction with the hematologist, where due care was taken for patient safety and comfort. The surgery was performed without complications, and bleeding was compatible with those who did not... (AU)

Effectiveness of periodontal treatment on the improvement of inflammatory markers in children.

AIM: It is known that atherosclerosis begins in childhood, a behaviour towards oral health care and metabolic control, since an early age, is essential for patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of periodontal treatment full-mouth scaling and root planning (FMSRP), applied to children without systemic diseases, correlating with periodontal clinical and blood parameters (lipid profile and inflammatory markers). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 29 patients were divided into two groups, group 1 (14) - scaling and rot planning (SRP), group 2 (15) - FMSRP and the follow-up was conducted among 180 days. RESULTS: The results showed a significant improvement in clinical periodontal parameters (p<0.05) in both groups. In the analyzed blood parameters there was a greater evidence, with a significant improvement (p<0.05), in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), fibrinogen (FGN), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) CONCLUSIONS: Thus, we suggest that both periodontal treatments were effective in children without any systemic diseases.

Lipid profiles and inflammatory markers after periodontal treatment in children with congenital heart disease and at risk for atherosclerosis.

Due to the biological associations between periodontal and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the fact that atherosclerosis begins in childhood, behavior based on oral health care and metabolic control from an early age is essential for patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this research was to examine the effect of full-mouth scaling and root planing on the reduction of periodontal disease in children with congenital heart disease. In this study, treatments were related to clinical periodontal parameters and also to blood ones, such as lipid profile and inflammatory markers. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=17), scaling and root planing; and group 2 (n=16), full-mouth scaling and root planing. The results showed a significant improvement in clinical periodontal parameters (P<0.05) in both groups. Considering lipid parameters, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and very-low-density lipoprotein parameters showed significant improvement (P<0.05). There was also an improvement in C-reactive protein (ultrasensitive) in the group treated with scaling and root planing (P<0.05). Fibrinogen and interleukin-6 parameters improved (P<0.05) in both groups. We suggest that both periodontal treatments were effective in children with congenital heart disease, though neither demonstrated superiority.
