ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of a conservative treatment to prevent the progression of caries using an infiltrant on non-cavitated pit and fissures. Material and Methods This controlled clinical trial selected 23 volunteers with clinically and radiographically non-cavitated occlusal caries among patients presenting a "rather low" to "very high" caries risk. Eighty-six teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups: teeth receiving a commercial pit-and-fissure sealant (Alpha Seal-DFL) and contralateral teeth receiving Icon infiltrant (DMG). Caries progression was monitored by clinical (laser fluorescence caries detection) and radiographic examination at 12-month intervals over a period of 3 years of monitored caries progression. Probing the sealing materials to detect areas of retention was also used to evaluate marginal integrity. Results Statistical analysis showed no difference in caries progression using laser fluorescence caries detection when both materials were compared, regardless of the evaluation times (p>0.05). No significance was observed when the marginal sealant integrity of both materials was compared, regardless of the evaluation time (p<0.05). Marginal integrity significantly reduced after 1 year for both materials (p<0.05), but remained stable after 2 and 3 years of evaluation, compared with 1-year results (p>0.05). SEM analysis exhibited a more homogeneous sealing for the infiltrant than obtained by the sealant. Conclusions The infiltrant was effective to prevent the caries progression in non-cavitated pit-and-fissures after 3 years of clinical evaluation, comparable with the conventional sealant. The infiltrant also presented better results in terms of caries progression at the 3-year evaluation time using the radiographic analysis.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Some clinical periodontal health parameters were assessed comparatively in patients using conventional and lingual brackets. Material and method: A trained examiner registered the frequencies of visible plaque (VP), bleeding on probing (BOP), as well as the simplified oral hygiene (OHI-S) and modified gingival (MGI) indices in 83 subjects from two clinics. The effects of orthodontic treatments on periodontal health were analyzed using logistic regression (alfa= 0.05). Result: In the conventional group, the frequency of visible plaque was significantly higher on the buccal surfaces of anterior (OR = 12.5) and maxillary posterior (OR = 3.6) teeth, p < 0.01. BOP in posterior teeth was also more frequent in this group, p < 0.05. The lingual group presented higher frequency of visible plaque on the lingual surfaces of anterior teeth (OR = 4.3; p = 0.0034). The conventional group had significantly higher frequencies of mild gingivitis in the buccal regions of anterior (OR = 9.0) and maxillary posterior (OR = 16.7) teeth, p < 0.05, and anterior papillae (OR = 9.0; p = 0.0003). On the other hand, the lingual group evidenced mild gingivitis more often in the lingual regions of anterior teeth (OR = 54.5), p <0.01. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the clinical periodontal health conditions may be considered acceptable for patients using both conventional and lingual brackets.


Objetivo: Alguns parâmetros clínicos de saúde periodontal foram avaliados comparativamente em pacientes que utilizavam braquetes convencionais e linguais. Material e método: Um examinador treinado registrou as frequências de placa bacteriana visível (PB) e sangramento à sondagem (SS), bem como dos índices higiene oral simplificado (IHO-S) e gengival modificado (IGM), em 83 pacientes de duas clínicas. Os efeitos dos tratamentos ortodônticos na saúde periodontal foram analisados por regressão logística (alfa=0,05). Resultado: No grupo convencional, a frequência de placa bacteriana foi significativamente mais elevada nas superfícies vestibulares dos dentes anteriores (OR = 12,5) e posteriores superiores (OR = 3,6), p <0,01. O SS nos dentes posteriores também foi mais frequente neste grupo, p < 0,05. O grupo lingual apresentou frequência mais alta de placa bacteriana nas superfícies linguais dos dentes anteriores (OR = 4,3; p = 0,0034). O grupo convencional apresentou frequências significativamente elevadas de gengivite leve nas regiões vestibulares dos dentes anteriores (OR = 9,0) e posteriores superiores (OR = 16,7), p < 0,05, e de papilas anteriores (OR = 9,0 p = 0,0003). Por outro lado, o grupo lingual evidenciou gengivite leve mais frequentemente nas superfícies linguais dos dentes anteriores (OR = 54,5), p < 0,01. Conclusão: Com base nos resultados deste estudo, as condições clínicas de saúde periodontal podem ser consideradas razoáveis em pacientes que utilizavam braquetes convencionais e linguais.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial the effects of typified propolis and chlorhexidine rinses on salivary levels of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LACT). Methods: One hundred patients were screened for salivary levels of MS >100,000 CFUs/mL of saliva. All patients presented with at least one cavitated decayed surface. Sixty patients met entry criteria. Subjects were adults 18-55 years old. After restoration of cavitated lesions patients were randomized to 3 experimental groups:1) PROP-alcohol-free 2% typified propolis rinse (n= 20); 2) CHX- 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse; 3) PLplacebo mouthrinse. Patients rinsed unsupervised 15 mL of respective rinses twice a day for 1 min for 28 days. Patients were assessed for the salivary levels of MS (Dentocult SM) and LACT (Dentocult LB) at baseline, 7-day, 14-day, and at 28-day visits (experimental effects) and at 45-day visit (residual effects). General linear models were employed to analyze the data. Results: PROP was superior to CHX at 14-day and 28-day visits in suppressing the salivary levels of MS (p < .05). PROP was superior to PL at all visits (p < .01). The residual effects of PROP in suppressing the salivary levels of MS could still be observed at the 45-day visit, where significant differences between PROP and CHX (p < .05), were demonstrated. PROP was significantly superior than CHX in suppressing the levels of salivary LACT at the 28-day visit (p < .05). Conclusion: Typified propolis rinse was effective in suppressing cariogenic infections in caries-active patients when compared to existing and placebo therapies.


Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar, em um estudo randomizado, duplo-cego, placebo-controlado os efeitos da própolis tipificada e clorexidina sobre os níveis salivares de estreptococos do grupo mutans (EM) e lactobacilos (LACT). Métodos: Cem pacientes foram selecionados para níveis salivares de MS > 100.000 UFC/mL de saliva. Todos os pacientes apresentaram pelo menos uma superfície cariada com cavitação. Sessenta pacientes preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Os indivíduos eram adultos com 18-55 anos de idade. Após a restauração das lesões cavitadas, os pacientes foram randomizados para três grupos experimentais: 1) PROP- bochecho livre de álcool de 2% de própolis tipificada (n = 20), 2) CHX- bochecho de clorexidina 0,12%, 3) PL- bochecho placebo. Os participantes bochecharam sem supervisão 15 mL dos enxaguatórios duas vezes por dia, durante 1 minuto, durante 28 dias. Os pacientes foram avaliados para os níveis salivares de MS (Dentocult SM) e LACT (Dentocult LB) na linha de base, e após 7 dias, 14 dias, 28 dias (efeitos experimentais) e 45 dias (efeitos residuais). Modelos lineares foram utilizados para analisar os dados. Resultados: PROP foi superior ao CHX nas visitas de 14 dias e de 28 dias na supressão dos níveis salivares de SM (p < 0,05). PROP foi superior ao PL em todas as visitas (p < 0,01). Os efeitos residuais de PROP na supressão dos níveis salivares de MS ainda foi observado na visita de 45 dias, onde diferenças significativas entre PROP e CHX (p < 0,05) foram demonstradas. PROP foi significativamente superior a CHX na supressão dos níveis salivares de LACT na visita de 28 dias (p < 0,05). Conclusão: O enxaguatório de própolis tipificada foi eficaz na supressão de infecções cariogênicas em pacientes com atividade de cárie quando comparado a terapias existentes e ao placebo

ABSTRACT

Sabe-se que a ansiedade do paciente, nos momentos que antecedem um atendimento odontológico, pode interferir significativamente, influenciando nos trabalhos a serem executados. Há estudos que comprovam a eficácia do controle da ansiedade por métodos farmacológicos, que estão dentro do grupo dos agentes ansiolíticos. Com base na necessidade de alguns indivíduos controlar a ansiedade e fazer uso de uma medicação ansiolítica, o objetivo desse trabalho foi comparar o efeito do medicamento homeopático individualizado com o medicamento ansiolítico (benzodiazepínico) nos procedimentos odontológicos.


The patient’s anxiety before a dental procedure can interfere significantly the treatments to be performed. Some studies show the efficacy of the control of anxiety through pharmacological means including anxiolytic drugs. Since some individuals must control anxiety and use anxiolytic medication, this study ought to compare the effect of a benzodiapine and individualized homeopathic treatment on dental anxiety.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar e quantificar a porcentagem de pacientes da clínica de Odontologia da UNICID, que são portadores de deficiências sistêmicas, como diabetes e doenças cardiovasculares, concomitantes com a doença periodontal, na tentativa de estabelecer uma relação entre as doenças sistêmicas e o desenvolvimento das periodontites crônica e agressiva. Método: Para estabelecer uma relação entre essas patologias torna-se necessária a revisão de literatura sobre o assunto, e o levantamento dos atendimentos clínicos ambulatoriais. Conclusão; Conclui-se que a condição periodontal do paciente pode alterar a sua saúde geral, assim como a condição sistêmica pode influenciar na evolução e severidade da doença periodontal. As alterações sistêmicas presentes em pacientes com doença periodontal são importantes por interferirem tanto no diagnóstico quanto no tratamento desses pacientes, e os resultados deste estudo sugerem essa associação.


Introduction: This study aims to identify and quantify the percentage of patients Clinic of Odontology UNICID, which are bearers of systemic weaknesses, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, concomitant with periodontal disease in an attempt to establish a relationship between systemic diseases and the development of chronic periodontitis and aggressive. Method: establish a relationship between these pathologies is necessary to review the literature on the subject, and survey of ambulatory care clinicians. Conclusion: the periodontal condition the patient can change your overall health as well as the systemic condition may influence the evolution and severity of periodontal disease. The systemic changes present in patients with periodontal disease are important because they interfere both the diagnosis and treatment of these patients, and results this study suggest that association.
