Instrumento clasificador para el examen de la guía anterior de la oclusión / Classifying instrument for occlusion previous guide exam

Fundamento: la guía anterior se convierte en algo difícil para los que incursionan en procederes rehabilitadores, pero no existe un instrumento para examinar la misma con fines docentes y asistenciales.Objetivo: desarrollar un instrumento clasificador para el examen clínico de la guía anterior de la oclusión.Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, en la clínica Ismael Clark Mascaró de la ciudad de Camagüey, desde septiembre de 2015 hasta febrero de 2016. El universo de estudio lo conformó la totalidad de 196 pacientes desdentados parciales, alta de servicios básicos y necesitados de rehabilitación protésica. La muestra no probabilística quedó constituida por 150 pacientes que reunieron los requisitos de inclusión. La investigación se realizó en tres momentos: ordenamiento, obtención de información y confrontación.Resultados: el 58 porciento de los pacientes no presentaron integridad morfológica de la guía anterior. Las interferencias predominaron en el 70 porciento de los pacientes de forma severa. Los examinados, 62 porciento con una guía anterior no funcional tenían curva de compensación pronunciada. Sobresale la dimensión vertical oclusiva dentro los parámetros establecidos con la guía anterior no adecuada en el 60 porciento de los pacientes.Conclusiones: sobresalió la falta de integridad morfológica de la guía anterior. Las interferencias dentarias severas fueron las más numerosas. La curva de Wilson pronunciada y la dimensión vertical oclusiva dentro de los parámetros establecidos, predominó en la mayoría de los pacientes con la guía anterior no funcional(AU)

Background: the previous guide becomes a difficult tool for those who make incursions into procedures of rehabilitation, but there is no instrument to examine it with teaching and assistance purposes.Objective: to develop a classifying instrument for the clinical exam of occlusion previous guide.Methods: a descriptive study was conducted at Ismael Clark Mascaro dental clinic of Camagüey from September 2015 to February 2016. The universe of study was composed of the 196 partial toothless patients who were discharged from the primary level of attention, and who needed of denture rehabilitation. The non-probabilistic sample was constituted by all the people who had the inclusion requirements, 150 patients. The investigation was carried out in three stages: classification, getting information and confrontation.Results: generally, 58 percent of the patients did not present morphological integrity of the previous guide. The interferences prevailed in 70 percent of the patients in a severe way. On the other hand, 62 percent of the examined patients with a dysfunctional previous guide had a curve of marked compensation. The vertical occlusive dimension stands out within the established parameters with the inadequate previous guide in 60 percent of the patients.Conclusions: the lack of morphological integrity of the previous guide was highlighted. The severe dental interferences were the most numerous. Wilson marked curve and the vertical occlusive dimension within the established parameters prevailed in most of the patients with the dysfunctional previous guide(AU)

Impact of bariatric surgery on oral health conditions: 6-months cohort study.

OBJECTIVES: We evaluate oral health conditions before and after bariatric surgery. METHODS: The sample was composed of 59 patients who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Salivary flow, periodontal pocket depth and dental wear were evaluated before and after 6 months of surgery. Body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP) and glucose levels were obtained from the patient's medical files. A t-test was used for dependent samples. RESULTS: The mean BMI decreased from 49.31 ± 8.76 to 35.52 ± 8.12 kg/m(2) in 6 months after surgery (P < 0.000). Before surgery, 67% of patients had high levels of CRP and 38% higher blood glucose levels and after surgery there were significant reductions in these levels (P < 0.001). Salivary flow ranged from 0.84 to 0.95 ml/min. There was increased prevalence of periodontal pockets (P = 0.022) and mean pocket depth increased to about 0.5 mm (P < 0.001). The percentage of surfaces with dental wear in dentine was significantly higher after bariatric surgery (P = 0.002), while dental wear in enamel decreased (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Bariatric surgery may improve systemic conditions. However, it had a negative impact on oral health conditions because of an increase in periodontal disease and dental wear.

Connective tissue graft and resin glass ionomer for the treatment of gingival recession associated with noncarious cervical lesions: a case series.

This article describes the treatment of gingival recession associated with noncarious cervical lesions by a connective tissue graft in combination with a resin-modified glass-ionomer restoration (CTG + R). Eleven patients showing the association of recession and lesions were selected and treated by CTG + R. Bleeding on probing, probing depth, relative gingival recession, clinical attachment level, noncarious cervical lesion height, and dentin sensitivity were measured. The treatment provided statistically significant gains in clinical attachment level and shallow probing depths. The percentage of cervical lesion height covered was 74.0% ± 22.90%. It can be concluded that the presence of resin-modified glass-ionomer filling did not interfere with coverage achieved by the connective tissue graft.

The influence of local anatomy on the outcome of treatment of gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesions.

BACKGROUND: The present study evaluates the influence of local anatomy on the reduction in relative gingival recession (Delta RGR) and gain of clinical attachment level (Delta CAL) achieved by coronally advanced flap alone (CAF), CAF plus restoration (CAF + R), subepithelial connective tissue graft alone (CTG), and CTG plus restoration (CTG + R), to treat Miller Class I gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions. METHODS: A total of 78 defects in maxillary canines or premolars were included, and received one of the following treatments: CAF, CAF + R, CTG, or CTG + R. Delta RGR and Delta CAL after 6 months were associated with cervical lesion height (CLH), cervical lesion width, cervical lesion depth (CLD), keratinized tissue width, keratinized tissue thickness, papillae width, papillae height, bone level (BL), and post-surgical position of the gingival margin using stepwise multivariate linear regression. RESULTS: CLH was statistically associated with Delta RGR when CAF (P = 0.02) and CTG + R (P = 0.0002) were analyzed and statistically associated with Delta RGR when overall data (P = 0.005) from both CTG groups were analyzed. CLD was significantly associated with Delta RGR in the CAF group (P = 0.0045). BL was statistically associated with Delta RGR when evaluating the CTG group (P = 0.02). It was also significantly associated with Delta CAL when considering the CTG (P = 0.01) and the overall data (P = 0.04) from CAF (CAF and CAF + R). CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that CLD may influence Delta RGR when CAF is performed to treat combined defects. Additionally, BL may not negatively influence Delta RGR when the CTG technique is used.
