Reparación ósea utilizando sulfato de calcio en defectos óseos de tibia de conejos / Bone repair using calcium sulfate in bone defects of rabbit tibiae

La regeneración ósea en reconstrucción del proceso alveolar junto al uso de implantes oseointegrables son ampliamente utilizados, existiendo una amplia variabilidad de productos. El objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar la reparación ósea asociada a un sustituto óseo a base de sulfato de calcio cubierto con membrana biológica en defectos creados en tibia de conejos. Se seleccionaron 12 conejos de entre 3 y 6 meses para ser intervenidos; de acuerdo a protocolos de anestesia ya conocidos se realizó la técnica con acceso a ambas tibias donde se realizaron 2 defectos de 2,6 mm de diámetro; se formaron cuatro grupos siendo el grupo I de relleno con coágulo sanguíneo, grupo II relleno con coagulo cubierto con membrana de colágeno, grupo III relleno con sulfato de calcio y grupo IV relleno con sulfato de calcio cubierto con membrana biológica. Se realizó la eutanasia a los 21 y 42 días y posteriormente se procedió a procesar y analizar láminas histológicas con tinción de hematoxilina y eosina. Se realizó la histomorfometría comparativa analizando los datos con prueba ANOVA y prueba de Turkey considerando un valor de p<0,05 para significancia estadística. Los resultados demostraron que todos los defectos mostraron patrones regulares de reparación ósea; los grupos rellenados con coágulo mostraron formación ósea estadísticamente menor que el presentado por los defectos rellenos con el sulfato de calcio, aunque estos últimos presentaron mayores indicadores de presencia de proceso inflamatorio; el grupo IV fue el que presentó los mejores niveles de reparación ósea a los 21 y 42 días. Se concluye que la reparación ósea en defectos menores es viable de ser realizada con este biomaterial y que la cobertura con membrana de colágeno puede ser útil en la regeneración ósea guiada.

Bone regeneration in the alveolar process and dental implant are widely used and there are a lot of different products. The aim of this research was to know the bone reparation associated to bone substitute with calcium sulfate and a biological membrane in created defects in rabbit tibiae. Were selected 12 rabbit between 3 and 6 month to be operated; using previous anesthesia protocols was do it a surgical defect in the right and left tibiae with 2.6 mm diameter; four groups were created: group I with blood clot fill, group II with blood clot fill plus biological membrane, group III with calcium sulfate and group IV with calcium sulfate plus biological membrane. The euthanasia was made in 21 and 42 days before surgery and was obtained histological plate using hematoxillin and eosin. The histomorphometry was made and statistical analysis using ANOVA and Turkey test with p<0.05 to obtain statistical differences. Were observed in the all created defects a regular bone reparation; the group I and II, with blood clot, showed a minor bone reparation than group III and IV with calcium sulfate, but these last one show an important inflammatory process; the group IV presented the better results at 21 and 42 euthanasia days in term of bone formation. It´s conclude that calcium sulfate can be used in bone reparation of minor defects and the biological membrane can be used in guide bone regeneration with success.

Electroterapia para la regeneración ósea de implantes dentales / Electrotherapy for bone regeneration in dental implants

La oseointegración se ha optimizado favorablemente en los últimos años y tecnologías variadas se han aplicado para mejorar esta condición. El objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer la relación entre la aplicación de cargas eléctricas y su capacidad de mejorar la oseointegración en un modelo animal. 16 conejos de raza New Zealand, de 3 a 6 meses, fueron divididos en dos grupos. En ambos se realizo la instalación de 4 implantes de titanio especialmente diseñados para esta investigación, dos en cada tibia, utilizando técnicas de compresión. En el grupo experimental se aplico cargas eléctricas a nivel de extremidades inferiores durante 30 minutos por día mientras duraba el tiempo previo a la eutanasia de los animales realizada finalmente a los 21 y 42 días, momento en el cual fue realizada la prueba de torque de retiro con un torquímetro manual; posteriormente, los bloque con los implantes fueron retirados y se procesaron con técnicas histológicas de rutina para la tinción de Hematoxilina y Eosina; se realizo una observación descriptiva mediante microscopia óptica y los resultados numéricos fueron analizados con el análisis de varianza y posteriormente utilizando el test F con un nivel de significancia de 5%. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en el torque de retiro de implantes a los 21 días y a los 42 días; no se observaron diferencias significativas entre el grupo control y el grupo experimental; histológicamente, no se observaron diferencias en el patrón de osificación, la disposición de elementos u otras condiciones histológicas de la reparación. Se puede concluir que la administración de cargas eléctricas en este modelo experimental no contribuye a la formación de tejido óseo perimplantar.

Osseointegration has been optimized in the last years; differents technologies has been applied to improve this condition. The aim of this research is to understand the relationship between the application of electric charges and their ability to improve osseointegration in an animal model. Sixteen New Zealand white male rabbits, 3 to 6 months of age, were divided into two groups. In both was inserted a 4 titanium implants designed for this research, two on each tibia; compression techniques was conducted for to install the implant. In the experimental group electric charges at the level of lower limbs was applied for 30 minutes per day; the euthanasia of the animals was performed at 21 and 42 days, at which time was obtained the measurement of the retirement torque with a manual torque wrench; subsequently, the blocks with implants were removed and processed with routine histological techniques with hematoxylin and eosin; a descriptive observation was performed by optical microscopy and the numerical results were analyzed by analysis of variance and then using the F test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed significant differences in removal torque of implants at 21 and 42 days; no significant differences between the control group and the experimental group were observed; Histologically, no differences in elements disposition or other histological repair conditions were observed. It can be concluded that the administration of electric charges in this experimental model does not contribute to the formation of perimplant bone tissue.

Surgical repositioning of osseointegrated malposed dental implant with segmental osteotomy.

After extensive research, the practice with dental implants has been used on a large scale. With the increase in its indications in various local conditions, more complications have been observed. Among these, one of the most frequent is the installation of the implants in a three-dimensional altered position, making the prosthesis and aesthetics more difficult to achieve. For this reason, techniques such as segmental osteotomy have been developed and adapted to implantology to reestablish the adequate position of these implants with correct aesthetic outcome and function. The present clinical report shows the segmental osteotomy technique in a malposed osseointegrated dental position of the upper central incisor with 1-year follow-up.

Efficacy of eminectomy in the treatment of prolonged mandibular dislocation

Surgery of the temporomandibular joint is indicated for different clinical situations, including internal derangements,hipomobility, hipermobility, pathology and trauma. Mandibular dislocation is an acute painful condition that causes severe functional limitation. Manual reduction, with or without pharmacological assistance, is the treatment of choice and should be performed as early as possible. On rare situations mandibular dislocation maynot be perceived by the patient and remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for a long period. This may include severe illness, neurological diseases and prolonged intensive care hospitalization with oral intubation and sedation.Treatment of prolonged mandibular dislocation is different. Morphological changes of the joint and associated structures will prevent successful manual reduction even with the patient under general anesthesia. Basically, two types of surgery may be indicated: elimination of the articular eminence (eminectomy) or reestablishment of a new condyle - ramus relationship, that can be achieved by condilotomy. This article reports a case of prolonged mandibular dislocation that was treated surgically with success. A review of the literature is performed by authors and advantages and disadvantages of each type of treatment are discussed (AU)
