RESUMO
Resumen Introducción: Los procedimientos dentales han sido asociados a bacteriemia y endocarditis infecciosa. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de endocarditis infecciosa a partir de procedimientos odontológicos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de tipo retrospectivo cuantitativo. Se incluyeron historias clínicas de pacientes con endocarditis infecciosa a los cuales se les registró identificación general, sexo, edad, estrato socioeconómico, reporte de procedimiento odontológico, tipo de procedimiento odontológico, endocarditis infecciosa no especificada y reporte de procedimiento médico-quirúrgico. Adicionalmente, se registró información sobre el tipo de procedimiento médico-quirúrgico o condición médica relacionada. Los datos fueron compilados en hoja de cálculo para su procesamiento en software estadístico (SPSS ver. 25). Resultados: De 154 casos de endocarditis infecciosa registrados, solo en uno (0.7%) se reportó procedimiento odontológico del tipo endodoncia previo a la hospitalización. La causa relacionada más comúnmente reportada fue cateterismo para hemodiálisis (37%) seguido de bacteriemia no específica (22%) y condición cardiovascular asociada a válvulas cardíacas y marcapasos (18.8%). En el 15.6% de los casos se reportó como endocarditis infecciosa no especificada. Los microorganismos más comúnmente aislados pertenecen al género Staphylococcus, seguido de Streptococcus. Conclusiones: La frecuencia de endocarditis bacteriana relacionada con procedimientos odontológicos fue menor del 1%. Los procedimientos médico-quirúrgicos siguen siendo la causa más común de endocarditis bacteriana.
Abstract Introduction: Dental procedures have been associated with bacteriemia and infective endocarditis. Objective: To determine the prevalence of infective endocarditis from dental procedures. Materials and methods: A descriptive, retrospective quantitative study was carried out. Records of infective endocarditis of which the general identification, sex, age, socioeconomic status, dental procedure report, type of dental procedure and non-specified infective endocarditis information was collected. Additionally, information was recorded on the type of medical/surgical procedure or medical condition that was associated. Categorical variables are presented as absolute and relative frequencies. The data were compiled in a spreadsheet for processing in statistical software (SPSS ver. 25). Results: Of the 154 cases of infective endocarditis registered, only 1 case (0.7%) reported an endodontic-type dental procedure prior to hospitalization. The most reported related cause was catheterization for hemodialysis (37%) followed by unspecified bacteriemia (22%) and cardiovascular condition associated with heart valves and pacemakers (18.8%). In 15.6% of the cases, it was reported as non-specific infective endocarditis. The most isolated microorganisms belonged to the genus Staphylococcus followed by Streptococcus. Conclusions: The frequency of bacterial endocarditis related to dental procedures was less than 1%. Medical-surgical procedures remain the most common cause of bacterial endocarditis.

El uso de anestésicos locales para la realización de procedimientos odontológicos es una práctica ampliamente extendida que puede causar efectos adversos. Sin embargo, muy infrecuentemente puede causar complicaciones oculares como diplopía, ptosis, visión borrosa, miosis, disminución de la agudeza visual o amaurosis. Presentamos un caso de un paciente varón de 26 años que se presentó a la consulta por una disminución de la agudeza visual en su ojo derecho 48h después de una intervención odontológica del lado ipsilateral, logrando una recuperación de la misma en los 6 meses posteriores, sin tratamiento alguno. Diferentes teorías que justifiquen la aparición de complicaciones oculares como consecuencia de esta clase de procedimientos han sido propuestas en la literatura. En nuestro caso, una inyección intravenosa inadvertida habría sido la causa posible del hecho (AU)
The use of intra-oral local anaesthetics for dental procedures is a widely extended practice that may cause side effects. As such, in rare cases it may cause ocular complications such as diplopia, ptosis, blurry vision, miosis, vision loss, or amaurosis. (Most of them are transient, recovering after several hours or days). A case is presented of a 26 year-old male patient who had visual impairment in the right eye 2 days after a dental procedure was performed. Six months later he had a complete restoration of the previous visual acuity, despite the fact that he had not received any treatment. Several ways have been proposed in the literature that may explain the appearance of ocular complications following these kinds of procedures. In this case, inadvertent intravenous injection is believed to have been the cause (AU)

RESUMO
Peripheral facial nerve palsy (PFNP) has a substantial physical, psychological and social impact on patients. Neurophysiological study quantifies the degree of nerve injury and assesses prognosis. We present the case of a woman with a 3-month history of left PFNP after a dental implant, with facial functionality of 85.5% and with a normal neurophysiological study performed according to the standard protocol. By modifying the technique centred on the orbicularis oris in its upper portion, the procedure showed an asymmetry of amplitude and signs of denervation. This allowed us to detect a deficit and differentiate a possible asymmetry or simulation by the patient.

Objetivo: Se describen diferentes motivos para utilizar correctamente el término tratamiento dental, diferenciándolo del concepto de procedimiento dental. Para ello, se detallan distintas implicancias que afectan los resultados de la práctica dental cuando se da preponderancia solo al componente procedimental de la terapia odontológica. (AU)
Objective:Different reasons for correctly using the term dental treatment are described, differentiating it from the concept of dental procedure. For this purpose, different implications that affect the results of dental practice are detailed when the procedural component of dental therapy is preponderant. (AU)
