Emergency management of dental avulsion and replantation: knowledge of undergraduate health care students / Manejo emergencial da avulsão dentária e do reimplante: conhecimento dos estudantes degraduação na área de saúde

Dental replantationis a major problem in public health. Its prognosis depends on emergency care, butthere is a lack of knowledge on it. So, this study aims to evaluate the knowledge of undergraduate students of Dentistry, Speech Therapy, Physical Education, Pedagogy,and Technologist in Radiology. One hundred and fifty-onestudents answered tenquestions about emergency replantation care. Then, an educational lecture was performed. The same questions were asked again to the same students to reevaluate their answers. The statisticaltests were employed at a significant level of p<0.05. There wasa significant difference (p<0.05)inthe responsesbefore and after the lecture. The dental students had a higher knowledge ofthe subject (p<0.05). The educational presentation reached its objective, since there was an improvement in the index of all answers of the post-lecture questionnaire, demonstrating thatthe people must be informedand trainedin the emergency management of dental avulsion (AU).

O reimplante dentário é um grande problema de saúde pública. Seu prognóstico depende do atendimento de urgência, mas ainda falta conhecimento.Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento de graduandos de Odontologia, Fonoaudiologia, Educação Física, Pedagogia e Tecnólogo em Radiologia. Cento e cinquenta e umalunos responderam a 10 perguntas sobre cuidados de reimplante de emergência. Em seguida, foi realizada uma palestra educativa. As mesmas perguntas foram feitas novamente aos mesmos alunos para reavaliar suas respostas. Os testes estatísticos foram empregados em um nível de significância de p <0,05. Houve diferença significativa (p <0,05) nas respostas antes e depois da palestra. Os estudantes de odontologia apresentaram maior conhecimento sobre o assunto (p <0,05). A apresentação educativa atingiu seu objetivo, visto que houve uma melhora no índice de todas as respostas do questionário pós-aula, demonstrando que as pessoas devem ser informadas e treinadas no manejo emergencial da avulsão dentária (AU).

Knowledge of Primary School Teachers Regarding Dental Trauma Management in Hail Region, Saudi Arabia

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of elementary school teachers about the management of dental trauma. Material and Methods: An observational study, with the cross-sectional design, was conducted among primary school teachers in Hail, Saudi Arabia during January 2017. The questionnaire distributed among 400 primary school teachers from 18 different schools using convenient sampling. Data were gathered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 Results: 378 (94.5%) respondents to the questionnaire. It was found that only 37.8% of the primary school teachers were able to distinguish between the primary and permanent teeth. Only 59.5% reported starting the management of a child with trauma immediately. Merely 38.4% believed that it is important to search for the missing tooth or the broken pieces, whereas 31% would re-implant the permanent tooth into the socket by themselves. Regarding the storage media, only 16.6% respond correctly. According to school teachers, the best way of learning the management of dental trauma at school is through videos (36.2%) and phone application (33.9%) Conclusion: School teachers lack knowledge regarding the management of dental trauma. We strongly recommend planning for dental trauma educational based on the teacher's perception after pilot testing its effectiveness.

Laminados cerâmicos sobre refratários, beleza em extinção? / Ceramic laminates on refractories, beauty in extinction?

A Odontologia atual está pautada em procedimentos conservadores e, nas últimas décadas, houve uma grande evolução na técnica e nos materiais dentários que favoreceram essa tendência. Hoje em dia, a tecnologia está presente em nosso cotidiano e é difícil de imaginar sobreviver sem ela. Na Odontologia há um grande debate sobre a questão da tecnologia, que pode eliminar até 100% da mão de obra humana (Técnico em Prótese Dental ­ TPD) nos processos de confecção de próteses dentais e se imaginava que esse futuro estaria distante, mas já é realidade. Porém para realizar um tratamento estético de qualidade é necessário investir e ter todos os equipamentos de última geração? Neste artigo será relatado um caso clínico de laminados cerâmicos confeccionados sobre refratários de forma tradicional e artesanal.

The current Dentistry is based on conservative procedures and in the last decades there has been a great evolution in technique and dental materials that favored this tendency. Nowadays, technology is present in our daily lives and it is difficult to imagine surviving without it. In Dentistry there is a great debate on the technology issue, which can eliminate up to 100% of the human workforce (Dental Prosthesis Technician - DPT) in the processes of making dental prosthesis and we have imagined that this future would be distant, but it is already a reality. However to carry out a quality aesthetic treatment is it necessary to invest and have all the latest equipment? In this paper we will report a case of ceramic laminates made from traditional and handmade refractories.

Use of a cyanoacrylate ester adhesive for splinting of replanted teeth.

This paper reports a case of tooth replantation in which the splinting was performed with stainless steel orthodontic wire and a widely marketed brand of quick-setting cyanoacrylate ester adhesive (Super Bonder). The long-term clinical and radiographic success of the case reported in this paper indicates that the splinting technique using a quick-setting cyanoacrylate ester adhesive may be a feasible option for making a rapid, simple and efficient contention of replanted teeth in situations where the routinely used materials are not readily available.
