Influence of NIC X-FILE and DENCO Pre-Shaper nickel-titanium instruments on the shaping of simulated curved canals / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Root canal preparation is a key step in root canal therapy.In recent years,with the rapid development of new nickel-titanium instruments,the results of root canal shaping ability have been significantly improved.However,the shaping abilities of different nickel-titanium instruments are also different.At present,there are few reports about the influence of the shaping ability of R-phase heat treatment NIC X-FILE and DENCO Pre-Shaper in simulated curved canals. OBJECTIVE:To compare the shaping effect of NIC X-FILE and DENCO Pre-Shaper nickel-titanium instruments in preparation for simulated curved canals. METHODS:Fifty simulated resin-curved canals were selected and randomly divided into two groups(n=25).NIC X-FILE and DENCO Pre-Shaper nickel-titanium files were used for root canal preparation.The root canal preparation time was recorded.Images of pre-and post-root canal preparation were taken.Image processing and analysis software were used to measure the amount of resin removed from the inner and outer walls of the root canal at each observation point.Statistical software was used to compare the root canal preparation time and centering ability of two kinds of mechanical nickel-titanium files. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average root canal preparation time was(1.58±0.02)minutes in the DENCO Pre-Shaper group and(2.22±0.03)minutes in the NIC X-FILE group.There was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).(2)The amount of resin removed from the inner walls of the root canal of the DENCO Pre-Shaper group at 4,5,7,8,9,and 10 mm from the apical foramen was higher than that of the NIC X-FILE group(P<0.05).The amount of resin removed from the outer walls of the root canal of the DENCO Pre-Shaper group at 3,5,6,7,and 8 mm from the apical foramen was lower than that of the NIC X-FILE group(P<0.05).(3)At 2,4,5,6,7,8,and 9 mm away from apical foramen,the centering ability of the NIC X-FILE group was better than that of the DENCO Pre-Shaper group(P<0.05),and the centering ability of the NIC X-FILE group was the best at 4 mm away from apical foramen.(4)The results show that DENCO Pre-Shaper has higher mechanical efficiency than NIC X-FILE nickel-titanium root canal files.However,the centering ability of DENCO Pre-Shaper is inferior to NIC X-FILE nickel-titanium root canal files.

Therapeutic efficacy of massage versus instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in patients with lateral epicondylitis of the humerus / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is often used as a noninvasive treatment for soft tissue(skeletal muscle,ligament,and fascia)injuries and postoperative recovery to improve pain and enhance strength in the range of joint motion. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and massage therapy in patients with lateral epicondylitis of the humerus. METHODS:A total of 25 athletes with lateral epicondylitis of the humerus were enrolled in this study and randomized into two groups:13 subjects receiving instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization as the experimental group and 12 subjects receiving massage therapy as the control group.The treatment period was 4 weeks,with two sessions per week.Elbow joint visual analog scale,Mayo elbow performance index,elbow range of motion measurement,and forearm strength were measured and recorded in both groups before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both treatments significantly reduced visual analog scale score of the elbow joint after the first and last treatments(P＜0.05),but the visual analog scale score showed no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The Mayo elbow performance index showed a significant increase in both groups after the first and last treatments(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).In the maximum grip strength test,the maximum grip strength of the experimental group in the vertical direction and during internal and external rotations after treatment was better than that before treatment(P＜0.05),while the control group only showed improved maximum grip strength during internal rotation(P＜0.05),with no significant improvement in maximum grip strength in other states.There was also no significant difference in the maximum grip strength in all the three states between the two groups(P＞0.05).After the last treatment,the range of motion of the elbow joint and the angle of forearm pronation and supination were significantly improved in both intervention groups(P＜0.05).The maximum angle of the elbow joint for flexion was smaller than that before treatment(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in each angle of motion between the two groups(P＞0.05).The range of motion of the forearm and elbow joint in both groups were significant improved after the first and last treatment(P＜0.05)and there was no significant difference in difference in the range of motion of the forearm and elbow joint between the two groups(P＞0.05).To conclude,both instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and massage therapy significantly reduce pain,improve elbow flexibility and increase joint range of motion in patients with lateral epicondylitis of the humerus.However,instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is better than massage therapy to improve the maximum grip strength.

Les résultats d'une étude longitudinale auprès de cinq nourrissons, suivis de 8 mois à 4 ans, recueillis à l'aide des instruments IRDI, MPPE et AP3, ont montré que l'absence de jeux précoces entraîne un appauvrissement des jeux symboliques ultérieurs et des obstacles au processus de subjectivation de l'enfant.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis associated with foreign body displacement after tooth extraction: report of an unusual case / Sinusite maxilar odontogênica por corpo estranho após extração dentária: relato de um caso incomum

Background: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis caused by a foreign body presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its infrequent occurrence and unique characteristics compared to sinusitis originating from other sources. CaseReport:Illustrating such fact, this report presents the clinical case of a 37-year-old woman referred complaining of pain in the same region where she had extracted her upper right first molar five days before. The intraoral examination revealed the presence of an orifice in the region, suggesting oroantral communication. Imaging exams revealed opacification of the right maxillary sinus and the unexpected presence of a highly radiodense object. With the diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis due to a foreign body established, the surgical approach initially consisted of administering preoperative medication, preceded by access to the maxillary antrum using the Caldwell-Luc technique. The object was found and removed, consisting of a surgical drill. At follow-up there was complete absence of symptoms and complete closure of communication. Conclusion: Cases of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis caused by drill detachment after tooth extraction are fairly uncommon. A thorough clinical evaluation proved to be essential and the Caldwell-Luc access was effective, safe and with good postoperative results, even with the absence of standardized diagnostic and management methods(AU)

Contexto: A sinusite maxilar odontogênica causada por corpo estranho apresenta desafios diagnósticos e terapêuticos devido à sua ocorrência infrequente e características únicas em comparação com sinusites originadas de outras fontes. Relato do Caso: Ilustrando tal fato, este relato apresenta o caso clínico de uma mulher de 37 anos de idade encaminhada com queixa de dor em mesma região que havia extraído o primeiro molar superior direito cinco dias antes. Ao exame intraoral verificou-se a presença de um orifício na região, sugerindo comunicação oroantral. Os exames de imagem revelaram opacificação do SM direito e a inesperada presença de um objeto altamente radiodenso. Com o diagnóstico de sinusite maxilar por corpo estranho estabelecido, a abordagem cirúrgica consistiu inicialmente na administração de medicação pré-operatória, precedida pelo acesso ao antro maxilar através da técnica de Caldwell-Luc. O objeto foi encontrado e removido, consistindo em uma broca cirúrgica. Ao acompanhamento houve ausência completa dos sintomas e total fechamento da comunicação. Conclusão: Casos de sinusite maxilar odontogênica causada por descolamento da broca após extração dentária são bastante incomuns. Uma avaliação clínica minuciosa mostrou-se primordial e o acesso de Caldwell-Luc eficaz, seguro e com bons resultados pós-operatórios, mesmo com as ausências de métodos de diagnóstico e manejo padronizados.(AU)

Brazilian adaptation of the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder

Abstract Objective Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious and extremely prevalent mental disorder. Early diagnosis is vital for treatment. However, there are no specific screening instruments validated for Brazilian Portuguese. This study aimed to adapt the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD) to the Brazilian context. The MSI-BPD is a self-report instrument based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), that enables fast and reliable assessment of BPD, with measures of sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) similar to the diagnostic interview for the DSM-5 (Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V Axis II Disorders [SCID-II]), taken as the gold standard. Methods Two independent translations, a synthesis version, back-translation, and analysis by experts were employed to create the final version of the instrument in Brazilian Portuguese. The translated instrument was administered to 1,702 adults aged 18-59 years to verify evidence of validity relating to content, internal structure, relationship with other variables, and reliability. Results The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses show that the one-factor structure is adequate. The scale showed satisfactory internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson coefficient [KR-20] of Cronbach's alpha = 0.691) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.802). Logistic regression analysis using the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5-Brief Form (PID-5-BF) (DSM-5) as reference established an ideal cut-off point of eight symptoms, with adequate SN (0.79) and SP (0.75), similar to the original instrument. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.830 (95% confidence interval: 0.802-0.858), with a positive predictive value of 89.2%. Conclusion The Brazilian version of the MSI-BPD has adequate psychometric properties for use as a BPD screening tool by clinicians.

Gamificação: uso de mecânicas de jogos em contextos alheios ao lazer / Gamification: use of game mechanics in non-leisure contexts

Não é recente o uso de jogos pela humanidade. Por seus elementos fundantes é que o jogo ganhou, ao longo dos anos, universos não inicialmente esperados e se tornou objeto de estudo nas mais diversas ciências. Com o avanço do uso de jogos ou de elementos de jogos nos mais diversos contextos foi concebida a teoria da gamificação. Gamificar é o ato de se apropriar de elementos e técnicas de jogos e aplicá-los em contextos alheios ao lazer. Aplicar elementos de jogos, em razão da sua potencialidade, em espaços em que não se exige e, por vezes, sequer cabe ludicidade é o ato de gamificar. Com base nessa premissa a pesquisa tem como objetivo indicar os elementos necessários para que se considere uma determina ferramenta como gamificada sob a ótica de Mc Gonigal, referencial teórico.

The use of games by humanity is not recent. It is due to its founding elements that the game has gained, over the years, universes not initially expected and has become an object of study in the most diverse sciences. With the advancement of the use of games or game elements in the most diverse contexts, the theory of gamification was conceived. Gamifying is the act of appropriating game elements and techniques and applying them in contexts outside of leisure. Applying game elements, due to their potential, in spaces where playfulness is not required and sometimes does not even fit is the act of gamifying. Based on this premise, the research aims to indicate the necessary elements to consider a certain tool as gamified from the perspective of Mc Gonigal, theoretical reference. It will use the deductive hypothetical method and bibliographical research.

In Vitro Comparative Study Of The Influence Of Instrument Taper On The Fracture Resistance Of Endodontically Treated Teeth

Context: Preparation of the root canal system is recognized as being one of the most important stages in root canal treatment which removes organic debris and microorganisms from the root canal system by means of chemico- mechanical preparation and irrigation of the canals. The use of nickel-titanium instruments has drastically reduced the time and the difficulties that were encountered with traditional hand instruments made up of stainless steel. Utilizing properties of super-elasticity, shape memory and different tapers of these instruments reduces not only the possibility of canal transportation but also affects both the geometry and volume of root canals. This subjects the root dentin to stress and consequently dentinal defects which increases the risk of root fracture during or after root canal treatment. Clinicians now have the opportunity to choose from differently tapered instruments having unique characteristics in their geometry and metallurgy. These are progressively tapered instruments, fixed tapered instruments, and variable tapered instruments, which come with the benefit of conforming to the root canal anatomy as well as removing dentin as little as possible while cleaning and shaping. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of instrument taperAim: on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots under in vitro experimental conditions.Conclusion: Under the limitations of this study in in-vitro conditions there were no significant differences between the fracture loads between the different file systems used, however samples prepared with Hyflex EDM recorded the highest fracture resistance, followed by ProTaper NEXT, ProTaper Gold and NeoEndo Flex respectively.
