ABSTRACT

La elaboración del expediente clínico es una actividad rutinaria dentro del consultorio dental, éste es la materialización del acto médico, a tra- vés del cual se registra el estado de salud inicial del paciente, así como toda la información relativa al tratamiento recibido. Desde hace algunos años comenzó a promocionarse el expediente clínico electrónico como una herramienta alternativa y novedosa para elaborar este importante documento; sin embargo, la implementación de esta herramienta electrónica no ha podido lograrse en México, dada la gran cantidad de dudas que los odontólogos tienen respecto al conjunto de leyes y normas que regulan al expediente clínico, lo cual genera renuencia por parte de los odontólogos para utilizar esta modalidad de expediente dentro de su consulta diaria. El objetivo del presente artículo es realizar una revisión de la literatura, así como de las leyes y normas vigentes que regulan el expediente clínico en México para esclarecer así la viabilidad de implementarlo dentro del consultorio dental


The preparation of the electronic medical record is a routine activity in the dental office, this is the materialization of the medical act, through which the initial health status of the patient is recorded, as well as all the information related to the received treatment. A few years ago, the electronic clinical record began to be promoted as a novel alternative tool to prepare this important document, however, the implementation of this electronic tool has not been achieved in Mexico, given the large number of doubts that dentists have regarding the set of laws thar regulate the clinical record, which generates reluctance on the part of dentists to use this record modality within their daily consultation. The aim of this article is to carry out a review of the literature, as well as the current laws that regulate the clinical record in Mexico, in order to clarify the feasibility of implementing it within the dental office

ABSTRACT

Doença sistêmica consta de doença que aflige o corpo humano em sua totalidade. Muitas doenças podem acometer os indivíduos advindo do envelhecimento. Sabe-se que existem condições sistêmicas que podem repercutir na saúde bucal. Determinadas mudanças nas estruturas orais podem advir da idade ou podem estar correlacionadas a doenças. O objetivo deste artigo foi evidenciar como proceder para elaborar próteses dentárias em indivíduos idosos com patologias sistêmicas. Patologias sistêmicas e os medicamentos que estão sendo administrados aos idosos influem em boca. A opção por determinado planejamento protético pode sofrer influência de patologias sistêmicas; dos medicamentos administrados e de deficiências motoras. Concluiu-se que a qualidade de vida dos idosos pode ser melhorada quando ocorrer a elaboração de um planejamento protético adequado que leve em consideração as características apresentadas pelo quadro sistêmico dos idosos.


Systemic disease consists of disease that afflicts the human body in its entirety. Many diseases can affect individuals as they age. It is known that there are systemic conditions that can affect oral health. Certain changes in oral structures may be due to age or may be correlated with disease. The objective of this article was to show how to proceed to prepare dental prostheses in elderly individuals with systemic pathologies. Systemic pathologies and the drugs that are being administered to the elderly influence the mouth. The option for a certain prosthetic planning may be influenced by systemic pathologies; of administered medications and motor impairments. It was concluded that the quality of life of the elderly can be improved when an adequate prosthetic planning is developed that takes into account the characteristics presented by the systemic picture of the elderly.

Fueron evaluadas 236 fichas completas de pacientes. Un 56,60 % pertenecen al sexo masculino y 43,40 % al sexo femenino. El mayor porcentaje nació el año 2011 (15,57 %), la FLP es la más prevalente (44,92 %), el 26,67 % de las madres tenía entre 21-25 años al momento del parto, un 80,50 % y 87,50 % consumió alcohol y tabaco respectivamente durante primer trimestre del embarazo, y un 41,33 % se desempeñó en rubro agrícola. Pueden ser considerados como factores de riesgo durante el embarazo: estrés post catástrofe natural, enfermedades crónicas, consumo de fármaco, hábito tabáquico y alcohólico y exposición a pesticidas.


The objective of the study was to describe the epidemiologic profile of patients with non-syndromic cleft palate according to factors that involve the mother. Observational, retrospective and analytical study from data obtained of non-syndromic cleft lip palate cases. The type of cleft lip and palate (CLP) and the variables that involve the mother were classified. In this analysis 236 fulfilled clinical records from patients were evaluated; 56,60 % correspond to male and 43,40 % to female. Most births occurred in 2011 (15,57%), cleft palate is the most prevalent (44,92 %), at the moment of birth mothers were 21-25 years old (26,67 %), most of the mothers consumed alcohol or tobacco during the first trimester of pregnancy (80,50 % and 87,50 %, respectively), and 41,33% worked in agriculture related jobs. In conclusion post natural catastrophe stress, chronic diseases, consumption of drugs, smoking and alcohol habits and exposure to pesticides can be considered as a risk factor for having a child with CLP.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this work was to trace an epidemiological and clinical profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases diagnosed as lip and tongue SCC from June 2001 to 2018 at a pathology anatomy service located in Northeastern Brazil. Age, sex, duration, location, growth type, staining, metastasis, etiologic agents and lesion size data were obtained fr om patient clinical files and histopathological reports. A total of 124 cases were recorded, with tongue SCC being the most preval ent. The common characteristics of both assessed SCCs included higher frequency in men, mean age of 60 years old, evidence mostly of exophytic lesions and maximum size of 4 cm, predominantly diagnosed after a maximum of 1 year of appearance. Regarding divergent findings, lip SCC occurred mostly in the lower portion of the lip, presenting a predominantly leukoplastic color, with regular smoking habits and sunlight identified as the main etiological agents, and no strong relation to metastasis. On the other hand, tongue SCC mostly exhibiting predominantly erythroleukoplastic staining, with a greater relationship to alcohol - associated smoking and regular smoking habits. The highest percentage of patients with metastasis presented tongue SCC. Although lip and tongue SCC display a male preference, an increasing amount of female involvement has been noted over the years, due to the adoption of deleterious habits such as smoking and alcoholism. Tongue SCC presented a greater relationship with metastasis and clinical leukoeritroplastic evidence. This greater aggressiveness could be related to the unfavorable locat ion of these lesions in relation to lip SCC, sometimes making it difficult to identify in their early development stages.


El objetivo de este trabajo fue rastrear un perfil epidemiológico y clínico de los casos de carcinoma oral de células escamosas (CCE) diagnosticados como CCE de labios y lengua entre junio de 2001 y 2018 en un servicio de anatomía patológica ubicado en el Noreste de Brasil. Los datos de edad, sexo, duración, ubicación, tipo de crecimiento, tinción, metástasis, agentes etiológicos y tamaño de la lesión se obtuvieron de los archivos clínicos de los pacientes y los informes histopatológicos. Se revisaron un total de 124 casos, siendo el CCE de lengua el más prevalente. Las características comunes de ambos CCE evaluados incluyeron mayor frecuencia en hombres, edad promedio de 60 años, evidencia mayoritariamente de lesiones exofíticas y tamaño máximo de 4 cm, diagnosticado predominantemente después de un máximo de 1 año de aparición. En cuanto a los hallazgos divergentes, el CCE labial se presentó mayoritariamente en la porción inferior del labio, presentando un color predominantemente leucoplásico, con el hábito de fumar habitualmente y la luz solar identificados como los principales agentes etiológicos, sin una fuerte relación con las metástasis. Por otro lado, el CEC de la lengua presenta en su mayoría tinción predominantemente eritroleucoplásica, con una mayor relación con el tabaquismo asociado con el alcohol y con los hábitos habituales de tabaquismo. El mayor porcentaje de pacientes con metástasis presentó CCE de lengua. Aunque el CCE de labios y lengua muestra una preferencia en hombres, se ha observado una cantidad cada vez mayor prevalencia en mujeres a lo largo de los años, debido a la adopción de hábitos nocivos como el tabaquismo y el alcoholismo. El CCE de lengua presentó una mayor relación con la metástasis y la evidencia clínica leucoeritroplásica. Esta mayor agresividad podría estar relacionada con la ubicación desfavorable de estas lesiones en relación al CCE labial, dificultando en ocasiones su identificación en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A doença periodontal é uma doença inflamatória crônica dos tecidos de proteção e suporte dos dentes. As doenças ou alterações de ordem sistêmica, como diabetes, alterações cardiovasculares e pulmonares, distúrbios hormonais e outras, não iniciam a doença periodontal, mas podem acelerar uma doença preexistente, aumentando sua progressão e destruição tecidual. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio de prontuários clínicos, uma possível associação entre as condições sistêmicas e a gravidade da doença periodontal em pacientes atendidos na Clínica-Escola de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, campus CSTR (UFCG-CSTR). Material e método: Para o estudo, foram avaliados 1.035 prontuários clínicos dos pacientes que procuraram atendimento na Clínica-Escola de Odontologia da UFCG-CSTR durante os anos de 2012 a 2017. Resultado: A população estudada apresentou prevalência do sexo masculino (50,9%) e diagnóstico de doença gengival (63,6%) e periodontal (35,8%). As condições sistêmicas mais prevalentes foram hipertensão (15%), diabetes (7,5%) e cardiopatias (5,8%). Além disso, 20,2% relataram ser fumantes ou ex-fumantes, enquanto o uso de medicação foi observado em 28,3% dos casos. Foi verificada associação estatisticamente significativa entre doença periodontal, sexo masculino, faixa etária mais avançada, hipertensão arterial, tabagismo ou histórico de tabagismo e diabetes. Conclusão: Foi observada uma quantidade de dentes igual ou menor do que 10 com maior frequência entre os pacientes com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, hipertensos, diabéticos, cardiopatas e fumantes ou ex-fumantes, sugerindo, desse modo, uma maior gravidade da doença periodontal nesses indivíduos.


Introduction: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the protective and supporting tissues of the teeth. Systemic diseases or changes, such as diabetes, cardiovascular changes, lung changes, hormonal disorders and others, do not start periodontal disease, however they can accelerate a pre-existing disease increasing its progression and tissue destruction. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluated, through clinical records, a possible association between systemic conditions and the severity of periodontal disease in patients seen at the Clinical School of Dentistry, Federal University of Campina Grande, Campus CSTR (UFCG-CSTR). Material and method: The study evaluated 1035 medical records of patients who sought care at the Clinical School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Campus CSTR during the years 2012 to 2017. Result: The studied population had a prevalence of males (50.9%) and a diagnosis of gingival and periodontal disease of 63.6% and 35.8%, respectively. The most prevalent systemic conditions were hypertension (15.0%), diabetes (7.5%) and heart disease (5.8%). About 20.2% reported being smokers or ex-smokers. The use of medication was observed in 28.3% of the cases. There was a statistically significant association between periodontal disease, male gender, older age group, arterial hypertension, smoking or history of smoking and diabetes. Conclusion: A number of teeth equal to or less than 10 was observed more frequently among patients aged 60 years or more; hypertensive, diabetic, cardiac patients and smokers or ex-smokers, thus suggesting a greater severity of periodontal disease in these individuals.

ABSTRACT

La otitis media aguda es una infección del oído medio con alta prevalencia en población pediátrica, las complicaciones pueden generar desde hipoacusia neurosensorial de diverso grado hasta alteración vestibular y/o control postural, aunque de ello no existen mayores reportes ni investigaciones en Chile. Por lo anterior, el objetivo fue asociar la hipoacusia neurosensorial a alteraciones vestibulares y/o de control postural. Se evaluó a un sujeto de sexo femenino, 13 años de edad, quien presentó múltiples cuadros de Otitis Media Aguda y fue diagnosticada con hipoacusia neurosensorial bilateral grado moderado. Antes del estudio, reportó desequilibrio y aumento de riesgo de caída. Se aplicaron test auditivos (timpanometría y audiometría), vestibulares (evaluación del VIII par craneal) y de control postural (posturógrafo y tests "Time up and go", Romberg y Romberg en tándem). Se encontraron alteradas la prueba de integración sensorial, con predominancia del hemicuerpo derecho, igualmente predominancia a alteraciones auditivas en el oído derecho ante pruebas que valoraron oído medio. Se observó una relación directa entre las alteraciones posturales y de equilibrio con el tipo y grado de pérdida auditiva que presenta el sujeto de estudio.


The acute otitis media is a middle ear infection with high prevalence in pediatric population, the complications could generate from sensorineural hearing loss to vestibular alteration and/or postural control, although, there aren´t report or researches of it in Chile. Therefore, the objective was to associate sensorineural hearing loss with vestibular alterations and/or postural control. We evaluated a female subject presenting multiple events of acute otitis media and she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss middle grade. Before this study, she reported imbalance and falling risk. Hearing (tympanometry and audiometry), vestibular (evaluation of the VIII cranial nerve) and postural control tests were applied (posturography and "Time up and go", Romberg and Romberg in tandem test). It was found altered the integration sensorial test, with predominance to half body right and predominance of hearing impairment in the right ear to the middle ear evaluated evidence. It was observed a direct relation between postural alterations and balance with the hearing loss type from the subject of study.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La caries temprana de la infancia severa (CTI-S) es una enfermedad crónica que afecta a niños menores de 6 años, produce dolor, infección y destrucción de los tejidos dentales. El dolor que experimentan los niños con CTI-S puede llevar a hábitos alimenticios alterados que pueden causar deficiencias nutricionales. El objetivo fue evaluar los valores de hemograma en niños con CTI-S y compararlos con los valores normales de referencia para la edad. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo observacional. Se analizaron las fichas y hemogramas de 47 niños con CTI-S, clasificados como ASA 1, atendidos bajo anestesia general en el Hospital de la Fuerza Aérea de Chile. Se tomaron en cuenta los valores del hemograma en relación a: Hematocrito, Hemoglobina y VCM. Se realizaron test descriptivos para las variables en estudio y se utilizó el testt para comparar los valores de hemograma con los valores normales de referencia. Se encontró una disminución de los valores de hematocrito en 4 pacientes (8,5 %) y una disminución del valor de VCM en 17 pacientes (36,7 %). Se encontraron diferencias significativas al comparar los promedios obtenidos en relación a hematocrito, VCM y hemoglobina en niños con CTI-S con el promedio de referencia (p <0,001). De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos en este estudio, podemos concluir que los niños con caries temprana de la infancia severa, tienen alteraciones en los valores promedio de hemograma en relación a hematocrito, hemoglobina y VCM.


ABSTRACT: Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a multifactorial chronic disease that affects children under 6 years of age, produces pain, infection and destruction of the dental tissues. The pain experienced by children with SECC may lead to altered eating habits that may cause nutritional deficiencies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemogram values in children with severe early childhood caries, and compare them with age population reference values. An observational retrospective study was carried out. We analyzed the medical records and their respective hemograms of 47 children with S-ECC, classified as ASA1, attended at the Chilean Air Force Hospital under general anesthesia. The hemogram values were taken into account in relation to: hematocrit, hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Descriptive tests were carried out for the variables under study and the t-test was used to compare the hemogram values with the normal reference values. A decrease in hematocrit values was found in 4 patients (8.5 %) and a decrease in the value of MCV in 17 patients (36.7 %). Significant differences were found when comparing the averages obtained in relation to hematocrit, hemoglobin and MCV in children with S-ECC with the reference average (p <0.001). According to the results obtained, in this study, we can conclude that children with severe early childhood caries, have alterations in the average of hemogram values in relation to hematocrit, hemoglobin and MCV.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La identificación por métodos odontológicos ha demostrado su efectividad desde hace mucho tiempo, pero en los últimos años ha tenido un rol determinante en la identificación de víctimas de desastres masivos y en crímenes de lesa humanidad. Uno de los factores determinantes para efectuar una identificación positiva es la calidad de la información antemortem. La presente investigación tuvo como fin establecer la calidad de la información recopilada en los expedientes odontológicos durante el año 2018 en Costa Rica con respecto a la información contemplada en los protocolos de INTERPOL. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en el que se realizó un cuestionario basado en la información solicitada en los formularios antemortem y postmortem de INTERPOL para identificación de víctimas de desastres (DVI). Se realizó una cuestionario piloto y se aplicó a 10 odontólogos, posteriormente se realizó un cuestionario final calibrado, vía electrónica a través del Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas de Costa Rica mediante la plataforma Google Docs; los resultados fueron analizados mediante las distribuciones de frecuencia, cruce de variables, comparación de medias con base en el análisis de variancia. El nivel mínimo de confianza para las comparaciones fue del 95%. El procesamiento estadístico de los datos se realizó en la base de datos llamada SPSS versión 17.0 y en Excel. Resultados: En total fueron respondidos 573 cuestionarios de los cuales el 76% son mujeres; la distribución es independiente de la edad(p=0,161). Un 90,2% de los odontólogos generalmente elaboran un expediente clínico odontológico para sus pacientes, un 8,4% a veces no lo hace y un 1.4% no siempre lo realiza. El 69% de los entrevistados indican que la información que recopila en el expediente clínico odontológico si puede ser útil para la identificación de una persona, 19% indica que no sabe que esta información puede ser utilizada para identificación y un 12% indica que no es útil. Conclusiones: El expediente clínico odontológico es de extrema utilidad para colaborar en el proceso de identificación de víctimas mortales, sin embargo existe una gran cantidad de información no odontológica que puede ser recopilada por los odontólogos para facilitar la identificación de seres humanos.


Abstract Introduction: The identification by dental methods has proven its effectiveness for a long time, but in recent years it has played a determining role in the identification of victims of mass disasters and crimes against humanity. One of the determining factors for positive identification is the quality of antemortem information. The purpose of the present investigation was to establish the quality of the information collected in the dental records during the year 2018 in Costa Rica with respect to the information contemplated in the INTERPOL protocols. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study, in which a questionnaire was conducted based on the information requested in the INTERPOL antemortem and postmortem forms for identification of disaster victims (DVI). A pilot questionnaire was carried out and applied to 10 dentists, later a calibrated final questionnaire was done electronically through the College of Dental Surgeons of Costa Rica in the Google Docs platform; the results were analyzed by means of frequency distributions, crossing of variables, comparison of means based on analysis of variance. The minimum confidence level for the comparisons was 95%. The statistical processing of the data was done in the database called SPSS version 17.0 and in Excel. Results: A total of 573 questionnaires were answered, of which 76% are women; the distribution is independent of age (p = 0.161). 90.2% of dentists generally elaborate a dental clinical record for their patients, 8.4% sometimes do not and 1.4% do not always do it. 69% of the interviewees indicate that the information that they collect in the dental clinical file can be useful for the identification of a person, 19% indicate that they do not know that this information can be used for identification and 12% indicate that it is not Useful. Conclusions: The dental clinical file is extremely useful to collaborate in the process of identification of fatalities, however there is a large amount of non-dental information that can be collected by dentists to facilitate the identification of human beings.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: La historia o ficha clínica ha servido de instrumento de registro de las actividades sanitarias desde el inicio de las profesiones de salud, otorgándosele diversas utilidades y valoraciones, según su objetivo, un valor docente, en investigación, judicial, entre otros. Ante las diferentes interpretaciones de las normas vigentes en Chile se ha debido legislar en su uso, pertenencia, contenido y otros aspectos, aclarando algunas situaciones pero restringiendo su acceso en otros aspectos. Dado las distintas leyes y normativas a las que se asocia su uso, se hizo necesario elaborar un documento que incluya sus aspectos más importantes. Aún quedan elementos asociados a las costumbres, creencias, especialidades en salud, entre otras, que no han sido abordados por las leyes, además de la labor docente de este instrumento.


Abstract: The history or clinical record has served as an element of registration of health activities since the beginning of the health professions, granting him other utilities and valuations according to their objective, as a teaching value, in research, judicial, among others. Given the different interpretations of the norms in force in Chile, it has had to legislate in its use, membership, content and other aspects of the clinical file, clarifying some situations, but restricting their access in other aspects. Given the different laws and regulations associated with its use, it became necessary to produce a document that collects its most important aspects. There are still aspects associated with customs, beliefs, specialties in health, among others, that have not been addressed by the Laws, in addition to the teaching work of this instrument.


Resumo: A história ou ficha clínica tem servido como instrumento de registro das atividades sanitárias desde o início das profissões de saúde, concedendo-se a elas vários utilitários e valorações de acordo com sua finalidade: ensino, pesquisa, valor jurídico, entre outros. Para as diferentes interpretações das normas vigentes no Chile havia de legislar em seu uso, composição, conteúdo e outros aspectos da ficha clínica, esclarecendo algumas situações, mas restringindo seu acesso em outros aspectos. Tendo em conta as diferentes leis e regulamentos aos quais o seu uso está associado, tornou-se necessário apresentar um documento que reúne os aspectos mais importantes. Existem ainda os aspectos associados a costumes, crenças, especialidades em saúde, entre outros, que não foram abordadas pelas leis, além do ensino deste instrumento.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Actualmente se observa un aumento en el número de personas con necesidades especiales en atención en salud, dentro de ellos, aquellos pacientes diagnosticados con trastorno del espectro autista, quienes presentan altos requerimientos de tratamiento ortodóncico a causa de maloclusiones. A pesar de que padres y/o cuidadores se encuentran motivados a mejorar su calidad de vida mediante el mejoramiento de la estética dento-facial y la función oral, también son pacientes que no son tratados en clínicas convencionales dado alguna dificultad en el comportamiento que presenten en una atención odontólogica. Por la enorme dificultad que se puede encontrar en la atención clínica, el presente trabajo indica un protocolo de atención ortodóncica en pacientes con trastorno del espectro autista, útil para realizar una completa ayuda de cada paciente que permita un adecuado diagnóstico, plan de tratamiento y pronóstico en la especialidad de ortodoncia.


ABSTRACT: There is currently an increase in the number of people with special oral health care needs, including those patients diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who often require orthodontic treatment due to malocclusions. Although parents and / or caregivers are motivated to improve their quality of life by improving dento-facial aesthetics and oral function, these are also patients who do not receive treatment in conventional clinics due to behavioral problems they may present during dental care. In light of the difficulties that can be encountered during clinical dental care, the present study presents a protocol of orthodontic care in patients with autism spectrum disorder. The protocol is useful in that it allows an adequate diagnosis, treatment plan and prognosis in the orthodontic specialty required by each patient.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective study of cases seen at the Child and Adult Dental Traumatology Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Chile, Santiago. A retrospective study was carried out analysing the records of patients seen at the Dental Traumatology Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Chile from January 2012 to March 2017. The inclusion criteria was that patient complaint was due to dental trauma. Data were tabulated indicating age and sex of the patient, cause, day, and tooth involved and the initial diagnosis of the dental trauma. Chi-square, Shapiro Wilk normality test and Mann-Whitney test were used for frequency analyses. A total of 117 dental records were analysed, 90 of these met the inclusion criteria. The age range of the sample was 5 to 60 years, and the average age was 14.3 years. Most injuries occurred in patients during the first and second decades of their life. Of the patients, 59.3 % were men and 40.7 % were women. The most frequent dental traumas were complicated and uncomplicated crown fractures, followed by root fractures. In the majority of the cases analysed, only one tooth was affected, and the tooth most frequently traumatized was the right upper central incisor, followed by the left upper central incisor. The most frequent dental trauma of the cases treated at the Child and Adult Dental Traumatology Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, between 2012 and 2017 were crown fractures.


RESUMEN: El objetivo fue realizar un estudio retrospectivo de los casos que acuden a la clínica de Traumatología Dentoalveolar (TDA) Pediátrica y del Adulto de la Clínica de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo analizando las fichas de pacientes atendidos en la Clínica de TDA de la Facultad de Odontología, Universidad de Chile desde enero 2012 hasta marzo 2017. El criterio de inclusión fue motivo de consulta por traumatismo dentoalveolar inmediato. Se tabularon datos consignando sexo y edad del paciente, causa, día, diente involucrado y diagnóstico inicial del TDA. Para los análisis de frecuencia se utilizó Chi-cuadrado, el test de normalidad de Shapiro Wilk y test de Mann-Whitney. Se analizaron un total de 117 fichas, donde 90 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. El rango de edad de la muestra fue de 5 a 60 años, con un promedio de 14,3 años. Siendo la primera y la segunda década de vida donde ocurren con mayor frecuencia los traumatismos. El 59,3 % eran hombres y 40,7 % mujeres. El TDA más frecuente fueron las fracturas coronarias complicadas y no complicadas, seguido por fracturas radiculares. En la mayoría de los casos analizados sólo un diente se encontraba afectado. El diente más frecuentemente traumatizado fue el incisivo central superior derecho, seguido por el izquierdo. Las causas más frecuentes de traumatismo fueron por caída y golpe. De los casos atendidos en la clínica de TDA de la Universidad de Chile entre 2012 y 2017 el traumatismo más frecuente es la fractura coronaria.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar las tasas de fracaso de implantes que fueron colocados en conjunto con plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP) y sin él. Se analizaron las fichas de 90 pacientes a los cuales se les colocaron 297 implantes (145 implantes con PRP y 152 sin él). La tasa de fracaso general fue baja (4,04%), menor en los casos combinados con PRP (2,1%) que sin él (5,9%). Esta diferencia no fue estadísticamente significativa (p= 0,09). La reducción de riesgo absoluto de fracaso al utilizar PRP fue 0,038 y el riesgo relativo al comparar el uso o no de PRP fue 0,36. Al determinar la reducción de riesgo relativo, esta alcanzó un 64%. El número necesario a tratar fue de 26,3. Al parecer, el uso de PRP podría ser levemente beneficiosa, ya que clínicamente muestra una menor tasa de fracaso.


The objective of this study was to compare the failure rates of dental implants placed with and without Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The study involved studying the dental records of 90 patients who had received a total of 297 implants. Of the total, 145 implants had been placed with PRP, and 152 without PRP. The overall failure rate was low (4.04%). The failure rate was lower in patients who had received PRP (2.1%) than in those who had not received PRP (5.9%). This difference is not statistically significant (p= 0.09). The reduction of the absolute risk of implant failure when PRP was used was 0.038. The relative risk, when comparing the use and the non-use of PRP, was 0.36. The reduction of relative risk was 64%. The number needed to treat was 26.3. It appears that the use of PRP may be slightly beneficial because, in clinical terms, it reduces the failure rate.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: A high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been reported in neuromuscular disease (NMD) patients. Our aim was to describe the results of sleep studies performed by overnight polygraphy in pediatric ward of a public hospital from Concepción, Chile. Additionally, we purposed to define its utility in the treatment of children with NMD. Methods: Records of NMD patients admitted at G. Grant Benavente Hospital, from 2011 to 2015 were considered. The therapeutic approaches were classified as: non invasive ventilation, surgical treatment and follow up. Results: From 36 patients initially admitted in the study 5 were excluded. Patients median age was 10 years-old (range: 0.3-19), 74% (n = 23) were males. Diagnosis were: Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 12 patients (39%), Myelomeningocele in 6 (19%), Hypotonic syndrome in 5 (16%), Miopathy in 3 (10%), Spinal muscular atrohpy in 3 (10%) and other NMD in 2 patients (6%). Median of polygraphy valid time was 7.3 h (range:4.3-10.5). Median of mean values of O2 saturation was 97% (range: 91-99%) and median of minimum O2 saturation was 90% (51-95%). Six polygraphies (19%) were normal and 25 (81%) showed some degree of SDB. From this group 60% had a mild, 28% (n = 7) had a moderate and 12% (n = 3) presented a severe SDB. Fifteen patients (65%) were under non invasive ventilation, nine (29%) of them received medical treatment and two of them (6%) surgical treatment. There was no difference between the magnitude of SDB and therapeutic approach. Moreover, no association between the severity of SDB and therapeutic approach was found. Conclusion: Polygraphy allows objective diagnosis of SDB in children with NMD and is a suitable tool to define therapeutic conducts.


Introducción: Los pacientes con enfermedades neuromusculares (ENM) presentan una alta prevalencia de trastornos respiratorios del sueño (TRS). El objetivo de este estudio fue describir los resultados de estudios poligráficos y mostrar su utilidad para el establecimiento de conductas terapéuticas en niños con ENM de un hospital público de Chile. Metodología: Se consideraron registros de PG de niños con ENM. Las conductas terapéuticas fueron clasificadas como: asistencia ventilatoria no invasiva (AVNI), cirugía y observación y seguimiento. Los resultados se expresan en mediana y rango. Los tests de Kruskal-Wallis y χ2 fueron empleados. Fue considerado significativo unp < 0,05. Resultados: Al estudio ingresan 36 pacientes, siendo excluidos 5, la mediana de edad fue 10 años (0,3-19), 74% varones. Diagnósticos: Distrofia neuromuscular de Duchenne 39% (n = 12), Mielomeningocele 19% (n = 6), Síndrome hipotónico 16% (n=5), Miopatia 10% (n = 3), Atrofia espinal 10% (n = 3), otros 6% (n = 2). El tiempo validado de la poligrafía fue 7,3 h (4,3-10,5), la mediana de la saturación de O2 promedio fue 97% (91-99) y de la saturación de O2 mínima 90% (51-95). Las poligrafías fueron normales en 6 pacientes (19%) y sugerentes de TRS en 25 (81%). Entre ellas se consideró SAHOS leve 60% (n = 15), moderado 28% (n = 7) y severo 12% (n = 3). En 20 pacientes (65%) se decidió iniciar AVNI, en 9 (29%) observación y seguimiento y en 2 (6%) tratamiento quirúrgico. No existió asociación entre la categorización de gravedad de SAHOS y conducta terapéutica. Conclusión: La poligrafía permite el diagnóstico objetivo de TRS en niños con ENM y constituye una herramienta útil para determinación de conductas terapéuticas.

ABSTRACT

There are predictive indexes to identify asthmatic patients from the rest of the recurrent wheezing phenotypes. The aim of this work was to evaluate the association between the positive Asthma Predictive Index (API) and the presence of asthma between the age of six and seven years old, in children from Valdivia, Chile. Methods: API was applied to 101 asthmatic children (cases) and 100 non-asthmatic children (controls). Data were analyzed using STATA v. 11 (2009). Fisher Exact Test was used to determine the relationship between variables. Results: 72.3% of asthmatic patients and 3% of non- asthmatic patients had a positive index. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were shown in all the variables included in the API. In our group of patients, the probability for a child to develop asthma was at least 24 times higher if he/she had a positive API (OR = 84.3 CI95% 24.1-436.5). Conclusion: API is a good tool to predict asthma and allows to take right decisions in recurrent wheezing children younger than 36 months old.


Es un desafío identificar pacientes asmáticos entre sibilantes recurrentes, por eso existen índices predictivos. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la asociación entre índice predictivo de asma (IPA) positivo, y presencia de asma entre los seis y siete años de edad, en niños de la comuna de Valdivia. Material y Método: Se aplicó el índice IPA a 101 casos (niños asmáticos) y 100 controles (niños sin asma). Se utilizó STATA v.11 (2009), y Test exacto de Fisher para determinar relación entre variables. Resultados: 72,3% de los pacientes asmáticos y 3% de los no asmáticos tuvieron un índice IPA positivo. Se demostraron diferencias significativas (p < 0,001) en todas las variables que componen los criterios del IPA. En nuestros pacientes, la probabilidad de desarrollar asma fue al menos 24 veces mayor si tenían índice IPA positivo (OR 84,3 IC95% 24,1-436,5). Conclusión: El índice IPA es una buena herramienta para predecir asma, y permite tomar decisiones acertadas en pacientes sibilantes menores de tres años.
