RESUMO
Studies on the relationship between Handroanthus serratifolius and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are limited in the literature. The influence of AMF spore density on plant development is fundamental information to determining the degree of benefits in this relationship. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different AMF spore densities on thirty-day-old H. serratifolius seedlings, focusing on growth and biochemical parameters using a completely randomized experimental design with three different spore densities and control. The spore densities were classified as low, medium, and high, with 1.54, 3.08, and 12.35 spores g-1 , respectively. Plant growth analysis, mycorrhizal colonization, nitrogen compound concentration, and carbohydrate analysis were performed. The medium spore density treatment showed the greatest increases in biomass, height, leaf area, and root volume. Furthermore, greater absorption of phosphorus and better dynamics in nitrogen metabolism were observed in mycorrhizal plants compared to the control since the ammonium and nitrate compounds were rapidly incorporated into protein and chlorophyll compounds. The carbohydrate analysis revealed the influence of source-sink dynamics on sugar concentration in different plant parts. These findings support the importance of determining the appropriate spore density for assessing the symbiotic relationship between forest species and AMF.

INTRODUCTION: Although rapid maxillary expansion has been extensively studied in noncleft patients, scarce evidence of maxillary effects is found for patients with oral clefts. Our objective was to evaluate the dentoalveolar effects of rapid maxillary expansion in children with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate compared with noncleft patients. METHODS: The experimental group included 25 patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate and posterior crossbite (9 girls, 16 boys; mean age, 10.6 years). The control group comprised 27 noncleft patients with posterior crossbite (14 boys, 13 girls; mean age, 9.1 years). The experimental group had lip and palate repairs at 3 and 12 months of age, respectively, and maxillary expansion was indicated before a secondary alveolar bone graft. Digital dental models were obtained immediately before expansion and 6 months after expansion with a laser scanner. Canine and posterior tooth inclinations, transversal widths, arch perimeters, arch lengths, palatal depths, and palatal volumes were digitally measured. The paired t test was used for interphase comparisons, and the independent t test was used for intergroup comparisons (P <0.05). RESULTS: In the experimental group, expansion produced buccal tipping of the canines and posterior teeth and significant increases of all maxillary transverse measurements, arch perimeter, palatal volumes, and palatal depths; only arch lengths decreased. No differences were observed between the groups for any measurement, except for intermolar distance. CONCLUSIONS: Rapid maxillary expansion produced similar changes in the patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate compared with the noncleft patients except for arch length and palatal depth that decreased after expansion in the children with oral clefts.

Climate change causes increasingly longer periods of drought, often causing the death of plants, especially when they are in the early stages of development. Studying the benefits provided by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plants in different water regimes is an efficient and sustainable strategy to face climate change. Thus, this study investigated the influence of AM fungi on Handroanthus serratifolius seedlings under different water regimes, based on biochemical, and nutritional growth parameters. The experiment was carried out in H. serratifolius seedlings cultivated with mycorrhizas (+AMF) and without mycorrhizas (-AMF) in three water regimes; a severe water deficit (SD), a moderate water deficit (MD), and a well-watered (WW) condition. AM fungi provided greater osmoregulation under water deficit conditions through the accumulation of soluble sugars, total free amino acids, and proline, as well as by reducing sugar. The increase in the absorption of phosphorus and nitrate was observed only in the presence of fungi in the well-watered regimen. A higher percentage of colonization was found in plants submitted to the well-watered regimen. Ultimately, AM fungi promoted biochemical, nutritional, and growth benefits for H. serratifolius seedlings under the water deficit and well-hydrated conditions, proving that AMF can be used to increase the tolerance of H. serratifolius plants, and help them to survive climate change.
RESUMO
The low availability of phosphorus and water in soil can promote the remobilization of carbohydrates in the plant, releasing energy to mitigate stress. In this context, our objective was to analyze the production and allocation of carbohydrates in plants of Carapa guianensis Aubl. submitted to different doses of phosphate fertilization, during the rainy and dry seasons, in the western region of Pará. We used three phosphorus dosages (0, 50, 250 kg ha−1) as treatments. We evaluated the plants during the dry and wet seasons. We quantified dry matter production, phosphorus content, total soluble sugars, reducing sugars, sucrose, and starch. Phosphate fertilization and different evaluation periods influenced carbohydrate concentrations (p < 0.05) in plants. The highest levels of P in the leaves were registered in October and, in the roots the content decreased with the passage of time in all treatments. The control had higher dry matter production in leaves and stems. During the dry season, there was an accumulation of carbohydrates in plants and a low production of dry matter. Soluble sugars and sucrose tended to be allocated to the stem, reducing sugars to the leaves and starch to the roots, in most periods. In general, C. guianensis seedlings were not very responsive to phosphorus addition.
RESUMO
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the midpalatal suture in children submitted to rapid palatalexpansion, at the end of the retention stage, with CT scans. The sample was comprised of 17 children aged between 5 years 2 months and 10 years 5 months. The tomographic images showed that the midpalatal suture was completely ossified from the anterior nasal spine area to the posterior nasal spine area at the end of the retention phase, that is, 8 to 9 months post-expansion.

The midpalatal suture of 18 children submitted to rapid palatal expansion with the Haas fixed expander and ranging in age from 5 years 2 months to 10 years 5 months was evaluated with computerized tomography. The posterior nasal spine undergoes the impact of RPE in patients in the primary and mixed dentition stages, similarly to the anterior nasal spine though to a lesser extent. The average opening of the midpalatal suture was 2.21 mm in the anterior nasal spine region and 0.95 mm in the posterior nasal spine region.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the transverse effect of rapid maxillary expansion in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate while comparing the Haas and Hyrax appliances. METHODS: The sample consisted of 48 patients divided into two groups: Group I = 25 patients treated with modified Haas appliance (mean age: 10 years and 8 months); and Group II = 23 patients treated with Hyrax appliance (mean age: 10 years and 6 months). Cast models were taken during pre-expansion and after removal of the appliance, at the end of the retention period. The models were scanned with the aid of the 3 Shape R700 3D scanner. Initial and final transverse distances were measured at cusp tips and cervical-palatal points of maxillary teeth by using the Ortho Analyzer 3D software. RESULTS: The mean expansion obtained between cusp tips and between cervical-palatal points was, respectively: for inter-canine width, 4.80 mm and 4.35 mm with the Haas appliance and 5.91 mm and 5.91 mm with the Hyrax appliance; as for first deciduous molars or first deciduous premolars, the values obtained were 6.46 mm and 5.90 mm in the Haas group, and 7.11 mm and 6.65 mm in the Hyrax group; with regard to first molars, values were 6.11 mm and 5.24 mm in the Haas group, and 7.55 mm and 6.31 mm in the Hyrax group. CONCLUSION: Rapid maxillary expansion significantly increased the transverse dimensions of the upper dental arch in patients with cleft palate, with no significant differences between the Hass and Hyrax expanders.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of mesiodens in deciduous and mixed dentitions and its association with other dental anomalies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Panoramic radiographs of 1,995 orthodontic patients were analyzed retrospectively, obtaining a final sample of 30 patients with mesiodens. The following aspects were analyzed: gender; number of mesiodens; proportion between erupted and non-erupted mesiodens; initial position of the supernumerary tooth; related complications; treatment plan accomplished; and associated dental anomalies. The frequency of dental anomalies in the sample was compared to reference values for the general population using the chi-square test, with a significance level set at 5%. RESULTS: The prevalence of mesiodens was 1.5% more common among males (1.5:1). Most of the mesiodens were non-erupted (75%) and in a vertical position, facing the oral cavity. Extraction of the mesiodens was the most common treatment. The main complications associated with mesiodens were: delayed eruption of permanent incisors (34.28%) and midline diastema (28.57%). From all the dental anomalies analyzed, only the prevalence of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis was higher in comparison to the general population. CONCLUSIONS: There was a low prevalence of mesiodens (1.5%) in deciduous and mixed dentition and the condition was not associated with other dental anomalies, except for the maxillary lateral incisor agenesis.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to use facial analysis to determine the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nasal morphology in children in the stages of primary and mixed dentition, with posterior cross-bite. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Facial photographs (front view and profile) of 60 patients in the pre-expansion period, immediate post-expansion period and one year following rapid maxillary expansion with a Haas appliance were evaluated on 2 occasions by 3 experienced orthodontists independently, with a 2-week interval between evaluations. The examiners were instructed to assess nasal morphology and had no knowledge regarding the content of the study. Intraexaminer and interexaminer agreement (assessed using the Kappa statistic) was acceptable. RESULTS: From the analysis of the mode of the examiners' findings, no alterations in nasal morphology occurred regarding the following aspects: dorsum of nose, alar base, nasal width of middle third and nasal base. Alterations were only detected in the nasolabial angle in 1.64% of the patients between the pre-expansion and immediate post-expansion photographs. In 4.92% of the patients between the immediate post-expansion period and 1 year following expansion; and in 6.56% of the patients between the pre-expansion period and one year following expansion. CONCLUSIONS: RME performed on children in stages of primary and mixed dentition did not have any impact on nasal morphology, as assessed using facial analysis.

OBJETIVO: determinar a prevalência de mesiodens nos estágios de dentição decídua e mista, e verificar sua associação com outras anomalias dentárias. MÉTODOS: radiografias panorâmicas de 1.995 pacientes ortodônticos foram analisadas retrospectivamente, obtendo-se uma amostra de 30 pacientes com o mesiodens. Os seguintes aspectos foram analisados: distribuição entre os sexos, número de mesiodens; se irrompido ou não irrompido; posição; complicações; tratamento instituído, e anomalias dentárias associadas. A frequência de anomalias dentárias na amostra estudada foi comparada a valores de referência para a população em geral por meio do teste qui-quadrado (c²), com um nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). RESULTADOS: a prevalência de mesiodens foi de 1,5%, sendo mais comum no sexo masculino (1,5:1). A maior parte dos mesiodens estavam não irrompidos (75%) e numa posição vertical, voltada para a cavidade bucal. O tratamento mais empregado foi a exodontia. As principais complicações associadas ao mesiodens foram o atraso na erupção dos incisivos permanentes (34,28%) e diastema mediano (28,57%). Pacientes com mesiodens não apresentaram prevalência aumentada de microdontia, agenesia de dentes permanentes ou outros supranumerários. De todas as anomalias analisadas, apenas a prevalência de agenesia de incisivo lateral superior mostrou-se aumentada em comparação à população em geral. CONCLUSÃO: o mesiodens foi encontrado em uma prevalência baixa (1,5%) nas dentições decídua e mista, e não apresentou associação com outras anomalias dentárias, com exceção da agenesia de incisivo lateral superior.

Miconia ligustroides (DC.) Naudim, popularly known as "vassoura-preta" or "jacatirão-do-brejo" is widely distributed in Brazil. It is a recommended species for restoration of riparian areas and its fruits are attractive to wildlife. However, little is known about the morphology of its fruits and diaspores. Such morphological characterization studies are important for species identification, corroborating future studies of phenology and germination. Therefore, the fruits, diaspores and germination of M. ligustroides were morphologically characterized by observations through naked eye, stereoscopic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Analyses of chemical composition of seeds were also performed. The fruits are spherical and uniform within the analyzed sample, having a large number of tiny obtriangular yellowish-brown diaspores. The diaspores are considered ananfitropos, and have crystals in their external envelope. Concerning chemical composition, they are proteins. Germination is of phanerocotylar type and starts at 12 Days After Sowing (DAS); at 17 DAS each diaspore may produce up to three seedlings. The morphological characterization performed in this work was efficient to describe the fruits, seeds and germination of this species, thus providing the basis for future studies.
Miconia ligustroides (DC.) Naudim, popularmente conhecida como vassoura-preta ou jacatirão-do-brejo, é amplamente distribuída no Brasil. É uma espécie recomendada para restauração de matas ciliares, e seus frutos são atrativos à fauna. No entanto, pouco se conhece acerca da morfologia de seus frutos e diásporos, e é sabido que estudos de caracterização morfológica são importantes para a identificação de espécies, além de corroborarem estudos futuros de fenologia e germinação. Portanto, os frutos, diásporos e geminação de M. ligustroides foram caracterizados morfologicamente por meio de observações visuais a olho nu, em microscópio estereoscópico e por meio de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura. Análises da composição química das sementes também foram realizadas. Os frutos são esféricos e uniformes dentro da amostra analisada. Possuem grande número de diminutos diásporos castanho-amarelados e obtriangulares. Os diásporos são considerados ananfítropos e possuem cristais em seu envoltório externo. Quanto à composição química, são proteicos. A germinação é do tipo fanerocotiledonar e inicia-se aos 12 Dias Após Semeadura (DAS), sendo que aos 17 DAS cada diásporo pode originar até três plântulas. A caracterização morfológica realizada neste trabalho foi eficiente em descrever os frutos, sementes e germinação desta espécie, de modo a subsidiar estudos futuros.

OBJETIVO: verificar o percentual de pacientes que necessitaram extração de dentes permanentes, pré-molares, dentre aqueles tratados com extração de dentes decíduos para correção do apinhamento primário na dentição mista, bem como analisar as possíveis variáveis relacionadas. MÉTODOS: a amostra foi composta por documentações ortodônticas de 70 pacientes na dentição permanente, cujo tratamento iniciou-se na dentição mista com planejamento de um programa de extrações seriadas (PES). Todos os prontuários foram analisados por um único examinador, no intuito de verificar se o PES havia sido cumprido com a extração de dentes permanentes ou se havia sido realizada apenas extração de dentes decíduos. Verificou-se a associação entre a extração de dentes permanentes e as variáveis padrão facial; relação sagital entre as arcadas dentárias; IMPA; proporção tamanho do segundo molar permanente inferior/espaço retromolar; mecânica de controle de espaço e discrepância de modelo (teste exato de Fisher para as variáveis categóricas e modelo de regressão logística para as variáveis numéricas). Os resultados foram considerados para p<0,05. RESULTADOS: dos pacientes que haviam sido tratados com extração de dentes decíduos para a correção do apinhamento na dentição mista, 70 por cento necessitaram de extração de dentes permanentes. A análise estatística não mostrou associação significativa entre as variáveis estudadas e a necessidade de extração de dentes permanentes, com exceção da variável discrepância de modelo. CONCLUSÃO: a discrepância de modelo representou a principal determinante de extração de pré-molares no PES.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of patients who require extraction of permanent premolars among those treated with extraction of deciduous teeth for the correction of incisor crowding in the mixed dentition and analyze possible associated variables.METHODS: The sample was composed of orthodontic records of 70 patients with permanent dentition whose treatment had begun in the mixed dentition phase and involved serial extraction. All records were analyzed by a single examiner to determine whether serial extraction had been performed with extraction of permanent teeth or only deciduous teeth. Associations were investigated between extraction of permanent teeth and lateral facial pattern, sagittal relationship of the dental arches, incisor-mandibular plane angle, size proportion of mandibular second molar/retromolar space, mechanics for space control and tooth-arch size discrepancy (Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and logistic regression for numeric variables, p<0.05).RESULTS: Among the patients who had been treated with extraction of deciduous teeth, 70% required the extraction of permanent teeth. The statistical analysis revealed no significant associations between the analyzed variables and the need for permanent tooth extraction, with the exception of tooth-arch size discrepancy.CONCLUSION: Tooth-arch size discrepancy was the main factor determining premolar extraction in a serial extraction program.

A gabiroba de arbusto [Campomanesia pubescens (DC.) O. Berg. (Myrtaceae)], espécie nativa do Cerrado é considerada uma planta com potencial melífero, ornamental e medicinal. Com o objetivo de avaliar a influência de diferentes temperaturas, substratos e condições de luminosidade e da secagem, na qualidade fisiológica de suas sementes foram conduzidos dois experimentos. No primeiro utilizou-se sementes com 13 por cento de teor de água, o qual foi realizado em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial (4x3x2), composto por quatro temperaturas (15-25, 20-30°C alternadas, 25 e 30°C constantes), três substratos (sobre papel, entre areia e entre vermiculita) e duas condições de luminosidade (claro e escuro) e, o segundo com sementes recém extraídas dos frutos e secas superficialmente, contendo 35 por cento de teor de água e após a secagem em estufa com ventilação forçada de ar a temperatura de 30°C por 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 260, 360, 750 e 810 minutos. Para a avaliação da qualidade fisiológica de sementes de gabiroba de arbusto, a semeadura sobre papel, no escuro e a 30°C possibilita uma melhor expressão do vigor. As sementes de gabiroba de arbusto são intolerantes a secagem, podendo ser classificadas como recalcitrantes.
The gabiroba bush [Campomanesia pubescens (DC.) O. Berg. (Myrtaceae)], a native species of the Cerrado is considered a plant with melliferous, ornamental and medicinal potential. Aiming to evaluate the influence of abiotic factors on seed germination, two experiments were conducted. The first was conducted in a completely randomized design in a factorial design(4x3x2), composed of four temperatures (15-25, 20-30°C alternate, 25 and 30°C constant), 3 substrates (paper, sand and vermiculite) and two light conditions (light and dark). The second experiment aimed to evaluate the tolerance to desiccation of fresh seeds dried superficially, with 35 percent of water, by drying it in oven with forced ventilation of air at 30°C for 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 260, 360, 750 and 810 minutes. To evaluate the physiological quality of seeds gabiroba, shrub planting on paper, in the dark and 30°C, enables a better expression of the force. The seeds of bush gabiroba are intolerant to desiccation and can be classified as recalcitrant.

Material e métodos: a amostra constou de 14 pacientes no estágio de dentadura mista e com idade média de oito anos e seis meses. Todos os pacientes realizaram expansão rápida da maxila e expansão lenta do arco inferior com a placa labioativa. Modelos de gesso foram obtidos nas fases de pré-tratamento e pós-tratamento, e digitalizados com o auxílio do scanner 3Shape R700 3D (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Dinamarca). Medições transversais foram realizadas para as distâncias entre as pontas de cúspide dos caninos decíduos, pontas de cúspide mesiovestibulares dos molares decíduos e primeiro molar permanente, e ponto médio cervical da face vestibular. O teste t foi utilizado para determinar se o aumento nas larguras transversais foi significativo. Resultados: observou-se um aumento transversal estatisticamente signifi cativo (p < 0,05), que variou de 4,11 mm a 4,51 mm nos referenciais utilizados no nível das pontas de cúspide. Conclusão: a placa labioativa aberta e fixa apresentou um efeito transversal significativo em aproximadamente seis meses de tratamento...
The aim of the current clinical study was to evaluate the transverse dimensions of the lower dental arch with the use of the fixed and expanded lip bumper associated to the lingual extension from the deciduous canine to the permanent first molar. Methods: the sample was comprised of 14 patients in the mixed dentition with a mean age of 8 years and 6 months. All patients were submitted to rapid palatal expansion and dentoalveolar expansion of the lower dental arch with a lip bumper. Pre-treatment and post-treatment cast models were obtained and digitized with the 3Shape R700 3D (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) scanner. Transverse distances between the cusp tips of the canines, the mesial buccal cusps of the deciduous molars and of the permanent first molars and between the cervical middle points of the buccal aspects of these teeth were measured. The t tests were performed to determine whether an increase in transverse distances was signifi cant. Results: a statistically significant transverse increase (p < 0,05) ranging from 4.11 mm to 4.51 mm was observed in the cusp tips. Conclusion: the fixed and expanded lip bumper presented a significant transverse effect within approximately 6 months of treatment...

OBJETIVOS: determinar a morfologia das 3ª e 4ª vértebras cervicais representativa dos estágios de pré-pico, pico e pós-pico de velocidade de crescimento estatural, definidos previamente pelos centros de ossificação do primeiro dedo em radiografias carpais ou do dedo polegar. MÉTODOS: foram utilizadas 120 telerradiografias em norma lateral de 106 pacientes selecionados da clínica de Ortodontia Preventiva e Interceptiva da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba-UNESP e Profis/HRAC-USP que apresentavam as correspondentes radiografias carpais ou do dedo polegar. As telerradiografias foram divididas em três grupos de 40 radiografias, de acordo com os estágios maturacionais pré-pico, pico e pós-pico, definidos pela imagem do primeiro dedo. A morfologia dos corpos das 3ª e 4ª vértebras cervicais foi determinada por dois examinadores devidamente calibrados em dois tempos diferentes. CONCLUSÕES: concluiu-se que o formato retangular horizontal com borda inferior reta foi representativo do estágio de pré-pico, independentemente da vértebra analisada. Já o formato retangular horizontal com borda inferior curva, especialmente se encontrado em C4, ou o formato quadrado com borda inferior reta caracterizaram o pico de velocidade de crescimento. O formato quadrado ou, principalmente, o retangular vertical com borda inferior curva determinaram o estágio de pós-pico de velocidade de crescimento da adolescência.
AIM: To determine the morphology of the third and fourth cervical vertebrae which represent the pre-peak, peak and post-peak stages of statural growth, previously defined by ossification centers of the thumb in hand-wrist or thumb periapical radiographs. METHODS: The sample was comprised of 120 lateral cephalometric radiographs of 106 patients from the Interceptive Orthodontics Clinic of the School of Dentistry of Araçatuba/UNESP and from PROFIS /Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies/USP. All patients had hand-wrist or corresponding thumb periapical radiographs available. The lateral radiographs were divided into three groups of 40 radiographs according to the pre-peak, peak and post-peak maturational stages, defined by the radiographic image of the thumb. The morphology of the third and fourth cervical vertebrae was determined by two calibrated examiners in two different times. CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that the horizontal, rectangular-shaped vertebra with straight lower border represented the pre-peak stage, regardless of the analyzed vertebra. The horizontal, rectangular-shaped vertebra with curved lower border, mainly if found in C4, or the square-shaped vertebra with straight lower border was typical of the growth peak. The square-shaped or, mainly, the rectangular-shaped vertebra with curved lower border determined the post-peak stage of adolescent growth spurt.

OBJETIVO: o presente trabalho tem como objetivo acompanhar radiograficamente a evolução da ossificação da sutura palatina mediana em pacientes submetidos à expansão rápida da maxila, bem como comprovar a validade de se avaliar a neoformação óssea através deste exame complementar de diagnóstico. METODOLOGIA: a amostra constou de 38 pacientes no estágio de dentadura mista que se submeteram ao protocolo de expansão rápida da maxila, sendo 2/4 de volta pela manhã e 2/4 de volta à noite, totalizando 1 volta completa por dia, compreendendo um período de 7 dias. RESULTADOS: radiografias oclusais de maxila tomadas no pós-tratamento evidenciaram uma variação individual quanto ao período necessário para a completa neoformação óssea da sutura palatina mediana. A imagem radiográfica apresentou-se como um método confiável para a determinação da época correta de remoção do aparelho expansor. Tendo em vista a estabilidade pós-tratamento a longo prazo, o aparelho expansor deve ser removido somente após a completa ossificação da sutura. CONCLUSÕES: os resultados revelaram que são necessários mais de três meses para que o processo de ossificação e reorganização sutural se processe após o procedimento de expansão rápida da maxila.
OBJECTIVE: the current study aims at following up radiographically the evolution of the midpalatal suture during the expansion procedure since the opening of the suture until bone formation. METHODS: the sample comprised 38 patients in the mixed dentition stage submitted to the rapid palatal expansion protocol of the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies. RESULTS: it was observed an individual variation on the period of bone ossification of the midpalatal suture, which justifies the radiographic follow-up as determinant for the appliance removal. Due to long-term post-treatment stability, the expander should be removed after the new suture is completely formed. CONCLUSIONS: the findings show that it is necessary more than three months for the complete reorganization of the midpalatal suture during the passive phase of the rapid palatal expansion.
