Periodontal and Dental Considerations in Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia: Clinical and Radiographic Analysis of 11 Cases.

PURPOSE: Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a well-described condition that occurs predominantly in black women. The lesion is usually asymptomatic, but in severe cases, symptoms can occur in association with focal expansion due to infection. The safety of dental procedures that involve areas with florid COD has been little discussed. Therefore, the present study aims to emphasise the importance of nonsurgical periodontal treatment in patients with periodontal diseases and COD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four thousand five hundred panoramic radiographs from the image bank of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto were clinically and radiographically evaluated. RESULTS: Eleven patients had images compatible with florid COD. Eight patients were asymptomatic and three symptomatic. All patients were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (CP) and their panoramic radiographs showed mixed radiopaque and radiolucent images in the alveolar bone. In symptomatic patients, besides the clinical signs of CP, exposed bone with severe suppuration occurred in the posterior region of the mandible. CONCLUSIONS: The maintenance of systemic and oral health is mandatory to prevent secondary infections, and knowledge about the interface between different dental specialties and florid COD management may prevent erroneous decisions and ensure patient safety, taking into account the dental treatment that can be performed without further complications.

The impact of chemotherapeutic treatment on the oral microbiota of patients with cancer: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: Chemotherapy is a type of systemic treatment that inhibits neoplastic cells (cancer cells), produces immunosuppression, and may lead to changes in the oral mucosa and, consequently, in the oral microbiota. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze, in the scientific literature, evidence of the impact of chemotherapy on the oral microbiota. STUDY DESIGN: The authors conducted a search in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), LILACS, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library; to identify studies that discussed change in the oral microbiota of patients with during chemotherapy. Articles published in English until July 2017 were included. The quality of a study was assessed by using the Ottawa-Newcastle scale. RESULTS: Of 5252 articles potentially relevant to this review, 17 were included in this study. Of the 17 studies included, 16 had used culture techniques, and 1 had used genetic sequencing. The most frequently observed bacteria were aerobic gram-negative (Klebsiella spp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas spp.), anaerobic gram-negative (Veillonella spp., Capnocytophaga), and gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.). CONCLUSIONS: During chemotherapy, patients with cancer present a more complex oral microbiota under favorable conditions for their development during immunosuppression, and these may be responsible for different serious local or systemic pathologies.

Preservação de alvéolo com uso de enxerto ósseo particulado e matriz de colágeno suíno: revisão de literatura e relato de caso clínico / Ridge preservation using particulate bone graft and Matrix of porcine collagem: Literature Review and clinical case report

Para tentar preservar as dimensões teciduais (ósseas e de tecido mole) do alvéolo até o momento da instalação do implante pode-se lançar mão de técnicas de preservação de alvéolos dentários imediatamente após a exodontia. Dentre as diversas técnicas e biomateriais existentes, a associação de um substituto ósseo (Bio-Oss® Collagen) com um selador do alvéolo (Mucograft® Seal) vem apresentando resultados satisfatórios na literatura. O objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar uma breve revisão de literatura e um relato de caso clínico usando essa abordagem. Os principais achados da revisão de literatura é que a utilização desses substitutos mucosos e ósseos são a redução do tempo cirúrgico e diminuição da morbidade e desconforto pós-operatório do paciente, já que não necessita da área doadora. No relato de caso, os resultados clínicos de 15 e 60 dias de pós-operatório mostraram que essa abordagem foi eficaz em manter as dimensões ósseas e de tecido queratinizado do alvéolo. (AU)

In an effort to preserve the alveolar tissue dimensions (bone and soft tissue) until the time of implant installation can make use of ridge preservation techniques after the dental extraction. Among the many techniques and biomaterials the association of a bone substitute (Bio-Oss® Collagen) with an alveolar sealer (Mucograft® Seal) has shown satisfactory results in the literature.The objective of this study is present a brief literature review and a clinical case report using this approach. The main findings of the literature review are that the use of these mucosal and bone substitutes are the reduction of surgical time and decrease of the postoperative morbidity and discomfort of the patient, since it does not need the donor area. In the case reportthe clinical results of 15 and 60 days postoperatively showed that this approach was effective in maintaining bone dimensions and keratinized alveolar tissue (AU)

Uso da matriz derivada do esmalte (mde) associada ao vidro bioativo no tratamento de defeitos infra-ósseos: uma revisão de literatura / Use of enamel matrix derivate (EMD) associated with bioactive glass in the treatment of intraosseous defects: A Literature Review

A regeneração periodontal tem como objetivo recuperar as estruturas perdidas (osso alveolar, cemento e ligamento periodontal) como sequelas da doença periodontal. O conhecimento da Matriz Derivada do Esmalte (MDE) tem na literatura uma ampla aplicação, porém sua relação direta associada aos vidros bioativos é pouco caracterizada em todas suas vias, nesse contexto este estudo teve como proposta baseada numa revisão literária por meio de bases de dados (Pubmed, Scielo, lilacs), discutir aspectos importantes sobre a avaliação da efetividade clínica do vidro bioativo em combinação com a MDE (Emdogain) principalmente em defeitos infra-ósseos. O Emdogain (EMD) sozinho ou em associação a outros biomaterais de enxertia parece promover ganhos na regeneração tecidual de tecidos perdidos pela periodontite, porém sua associação tem-se poucos resultados significativos que justifiquem sua ampla utilização, sua indicação deve estar baseada em um bom diagnóstico periodontal e da morfologia do defeito infraósseo. Assim, tornam-se necessários mais estudos para elucidar interações e mecanismos celulares envolvidos no complexo de ação para justificar o seu uso.(AU)

Periodontal regeneration aims to recover the lost structures (alveolar bone, cementum and periodontal ligament) as sequelae of periodontal disease. The knowledge derived from the enamel matrix (EMD) is in the literature a wide application, but its direct relationship associated with bioactive glass is poorly characterized in all its way in this context this study was proposed based on a literature review through databases (Pubmed, Scielo, lilacs), discuss important aspects of the evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of bioactive glass in combination with EMD (Emdogain) mainly intraosseous defects.Emdogain (EMD) alone or in association with other biomaterials of grafting appears to promote gains in the tissue regeneration of lost tissues by periodontitis, but its association has few significant results that justify its wide use, its indication must be based on a good periodontal diagnosis and infraosseous defect morphology. Thus, further studies are needed to elucidate interactions and cellular mechanisms involved in the action complex to justify its use.(AU)

Tratamento de recessão gengival com utilização da técnica de tunelização associada ao enxerto conjuntivo subepitelial ­ controle clínico de seis anos / Treatment of gingival recession with the tunneling technique and the subepithelial connective tissue graft ­ a 6-year clinical follow-up

O recobrimento radicular é indicado por razões estéticas, para reduzir a hipersensibilidade de raiz e para criar ou aumentar tecido queratinizado. Várias técnicas cirúrgicas têm sido descritas, com a decisão dependendo de parâmetros clínicos anatômicos e técnicos. A principal meta terapêutica é alcançar uma cobertura completa da raiz com um resultado estético satisfatório. Uma abordagem previsível para o recobrimento radicular é a técnica de tunelização associada ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial, matriz dérmica acelular (MDA) ou outros biomateriais. Neste relato de caso com controle clínico de seis anos foi realizada a recuperação do tecido gengival perdido na região do dente 13, com o uso de uma técnica minimamente invasiva: a técnica de túnel associado ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial. Esta associação resultou em um importante ganho de inserção e, além do recobrimento radicular, foram melhoradas a hipersensibilidade e a estética na região.

The root coverage is indicated for aesthetic reasons, to reduce root hypersensitivity and to create or to increase keratinized tissue. Several surgical techniques have been described, with the decision depending on anatomical clinical and technical parameters. The main therapeutic goal is to achieve full coverage of the root with a satisfactory cosmetic result. A predictable approach to root coverage is a tunneling technique associated with subpeithelial connective tissue graft, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) or other biomaterials. In this case report with a 6-year clinical follow-up, the gingival tissue lost at the tooth 13 region was recovered using a minimally invasive technique (tunneling + subepithelial connective tissue graft). This association contributed to a signifi cant attachment level recovery and, besides root coverage, hypersensitivity and esthetics were improved in the operated site.
