O YouTube® pode ser considerado uma fonte de informação imediata segura para o manejo correto de uma situação de avulsão dentária evidente? / Is YouTube® a reliable source of immediate information for the correct management of an evident tooth avulsion setting?

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se o YouTube® pode ser considerado uma fonte de informação imediata segura para o manejo correto de uma situação de avulsão dentária evidente. Para isso, o YouTube® foi utilizado para pesquisa a partir da utilização dos termos "como tratar um dente avulsionado", "reimplante de dente avulsionado" e "avulsão dentária". Os vídeos obtidos foram submetidos a critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os vídeos inclusos foram analisados a partir de oito tópicos variáveis que condizem com as informações adequadas sobre a sequência do manejo da avulsão dentária que independente da atuação do cirurgião dentista, baseadas nos guidelines da Associação Internacional de Traumatologia Dentária (IADT). O engajamento do vídeo e o ano de publicação também foram avaliados. Foi realizada análise descritiva a partir da frequência de repetição dos dados. Ao total, 71 vídeos sobre avulsão foram obtidos na plataforma, sendo que 39 (54,92%) apresentam os critérios de inclusão. A maioria foi publicada por profissionais (74,35%) e em 2021 (23,07%). Três vídeos (7,7%) apresentam todos os tópicos considerados indispensáveis no manejo correto da avulsão, correspondendo ao padrão ouro desejado a ser obtido durante a busca no YouTube®. "Encaminhar imediatamente ao cirurgião dentista" apresenta-se como recomendação em todos os vídeos. Todos os vídeos apresentaram informações verídicas, mesmo na incompletude dos 8 tópicos. A plataforma apresenta poucos vídeos sobre a sequência completa do manejo da avulsão. Mesmo havendo veracidade em todos os vídeos, a ausência de sequer um tópico compromete o prognóstico. O predomínio de conteúdos com ausência de tópicos infere que o YouTube® é insuficiente em vídeos referentes às condutas a serem seguidas em um caso de avulsão dentária evidente que estão de acordo com os tópicos baseados no guideline da IADT, mesmo com a ausência de informações falsas sobre o manejo da avulsão dentária(AU)

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether YouTubeTM can be considered a reliable source of immediate information for the correct management of an evident tooth avulsion setting. YouTubeTM was searched using the terms 'how to deal with an avulsed tooth', 'replantation of an avulsed tooth' and 'tooth avulsion'. The videos obtained were submitted to inclusion-exclusion criteria. The videos included were analyzed based on eight variable topics that are consistent with adequate information on the sequence of tooth avulsion management that is independent of a dentist's performance, based on International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines. Video engagement and year of publication were also evaluated. Descriptive statistics were consequently generated based on the frequency of data repetition. A total of 71 videos were analysed. 39 (54.92%) met the inclusion criteria. Most of the had been upload by professionals (74.35%) and in 2021 (23.07%). Three videos (7.7%) present all the topics considered indispensable in the correct management of avulsion, corresponding to the desired gold standard to be obtained during the search on YouTubeTM. 'Urgent dental referral' is the recommendation in all videos. All videos presented true information even in the incompleteness of the 8 topics. The platform features few videos on the complete sequence of avulsion management. Even with veracity in all videos, the absence of just one topic compromises the prognosis. The predominance of content infers that YouTube™ is insufficient in videos referring to the procedures to be followed in a case of evident tooth avulsion that are in accordance with the topics based on IADT guideline even with the absence of false information on the management of tooth avulsion(AU)

Delayed Tooth Replantation after Root Surface Treatment with Papain and Sodium Fluoride in Rats: A Histological and Histomorphometrical Evaluation.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the histological effect of papain and sodium fluoride in delayed replantation of rat incisor teeth on the repair process. Methods and Materials: Forty upper incisors of Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n=10). In group I, the dental papilla and the pulp tissue of extracted teeth were removed before immediate replantation in their sockets. In the other groups, the extracted teeth were maintained in dry storage for 60 min and subjected to different root surface treatments. In group II, the teeth were immersed in 10% papain for 20 min, scrubbed with gauze soaked in saline for 1 min, and immersed in a 2% acidulated-phosphate sodium fluoride solution for 20 min. In group III, the teeth were immersed in saline for 20 min, scrubbed with gauze soaked in saline for 1 min, and immersed in a 2% acidulated-phosphate sodium fluoride solution for 20 min. In group IV, root surface treatment was not applied. The root canals were treated and filled with a calcium hydroxide paste and the teeth were replanted. The animals were euthanized after 60 days and anatomic specimens containing the teeth were subjected to routine histochemical processing and staining with hematoxylin and eosin. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used, followed by the Dunn's test for multiple comparisons. Results: Groups I and II had less inflammatory root resorption and total area of root resorption (P<0.05) than groups III and IV respectively. Conclusions: Based on this animal study, root surface treatment with papain and sodium fluoride in delayed tooth replantation showed greater efficacy in controlling inflammatory root resorption and may be a viable option for clinical application.
