Uso do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e plasma rico em fibrina (PRF) em defeitos peri-implantares: análises biomecânica e histomorfométrica / The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin rich plasma (PRF) in peri-implant defects: biomechanical and histomorphometric analyzes

O presente trabalho teve o objetivo avaliar o uso do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e plasma rico em fibrina (PRF) em defeitos peri-implantares por meio das análises biomecânica e histomorfométrica. Para tanto, 36 ratos machos adultos foram divididos em 3 grupos: controle (CO), plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e plasma rico em fibrina (PRF). Previamente à realização dos procedimentos cirúrgicos, foram coletados 3 ml de sangue de cada animal via punção cardíaca, seguindo-se pelos respectivos protocolos de centrifugação para obtenção de PRP e PRF. Um defeito ósseo foi preparado na tíbia esquerda e um implante foi instalado manualmente. Conforme o grupo experimental, o defeito peri-implantar não sofreu intervenção ou foi preenchido com PRP ou PRF. A eutanásia foi realizada em 20 e 40 dias. Os resultados mostraram que houve diferença estatística significativa presente intergrupos e interperíodos (p< 0,05) na análise biomecânica. Os resultados histológicos apresentaram maior atividade celular nos grupos experimentais em relação ao grupo controle. Os dados sobre a área óssea neoformada (AON) demonstraram uma maior formação óssea nos grupos PRP e PRF em relação ao grupo controle. Entretanto, entre todos os grupos não houve diferença estatística significativa, assim como na análise entre os grupos e os períodos. Contudo, entre os períodos houve diferença estatística significativa (p< 0,001). A aplicação de PRP nos defeitos peri-implantares em tíbias de ratos mostrou-se mais eficaz na resposta de estabilidade do implante e na neoformação óssea sendo superior ao plasma rico em fibrina (PRF) e ao grupo controle (coágulo). Relevância Clínica: os defeitos peri-implantares são uma realidade clínica e o uso de concentrados plaquetários é uma alternativa para um tratamento. A literatura apresenta resultados satisfatórios em relação às altas concentrações de fatores de crescimento que podem afetar o processo de regeneração tecidual e neoformação óssea(AU)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in peri-implant defects submitted to biomechanical and histomorphometric analysis. Thirty-six adult male rats were divided into 3 groups: control (CO), platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin rich plasma (PRF). Prior to the surgical procedures, 3 ml of blood were collected from each animal via cardiac puncture, followed by the respective centrifugation protocols to obtain PRP and PRF. A bone defect was prepared in the left tibia and an implant was manually installed. The defect was filled with PRP, PRF or own clot. Euthanasia was performed at 20 and 40 days. The results showed that there was statistically significant difference between groups and periods (p < 0.05) in the biomechanical analysis. The histological results showed higher cellular activity in the experimental groups compared to the control group. Data on the newly bone area showed a higher bone formation in the PRP and PRF groups compared to the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in all groups, as well as in the analysis between groups and periods. Only between the periods there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). The application of PRP to peri-implant defects in rat tibias was more effective in implant stability response and bone neoformation being superior to fibrin-rich plasma (PRF) and control group (clot)(AU)

Inmates beheaded in a Brazil prison riot: Human identification by ear individual signs.

Deaths that occur in prisons riots can be by extreme violence. When unrecognizable corpses are referred for examination, the process of human identification is hampered. The aim of this study is to present applicability in human identification by ear individual signs in an inmate beheaded in Brazil prison riot. Ten prisoners died in the rebellion being discussed. Seven corpses had been burned, and three of them were beheaded. For the examination, only two heads were presented. Three families were consulted. They informed that suspect 1 had a "front tooth failure" in the anterior maxilla and no dental records, while a second family brought a panoramic radiograph (suspect 2) and the last family (suspect 3) sent one photograph. Suspects 2 and 3 were considered incompatible. Information about suspect 1, such as "front tooth failure" in the anterior maxilla and anthropological facial aspects, provided compatibles clues. The absence of dental documentation stimulated the search for other characteristics conserved in the head under study. The left ear presented good conservation for a comparative method. Morphological ear variations enabled identification to be achieved for an inmate beheaded in a prison riot, demonstrating the method's applicability and reliability. The certainty of the death of a relative allows the normal grief process to start, decreasing psychological morbidity. Mixed feelings between hope and despair are reduced. Therefore, this is a high priority for forensic experts in these cases.

Oral health in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome: current perspectives.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare complex multisystem disorder and presents several aspects related to dentistry. The purpose of this review is to present current perspectives about oral health in patients with PWS. Delay development, hyperphagia, foamy and highly viscous saliva raise the risk of caries and contribute to tooth wear. Cariogenic foods uncontrolled consumption allows to obesity and dental problems progress worsening systemic disorders. These factors can be controlled. The success in follow-ups with caries free and oral health controlled demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary team intervention corroborated by support at home from birth to adulthood. Thereby, current perspective on the disease is that there is possibility of proper maintenance of oral health in PWS patients. Guided care interferes positively with the overall well-being and quality of life of the individual with PWS and their family. A multidisciplinary team with a focus on teaching patients and family members will help minimize eventual problems.

Special Care Dentistry in a Patient with Prader-Willi Syndrome through the Use of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment under General Anesthesia.

Prader-Willi syndrome described in 1956 has a genetic origin, affecting both genders, varying in presence and intensity from individual to individual. A precocious diagnosis, before the manifestation of symptoms, has brought some improvement in the quality of life of the carriers in the last years. The objective of this case report was to describe the treatment realized in a 3-year-old boy who presented grade II obesity, difficulty of locomotion, hypotonia, and history of cardiopathy. A dental treatment under general anesthesia was defined, allowing an oral adequation in a single section, in which it was planned the extraction of the element 74 and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) technique in the other teeth. The precocious intervention in this 3-year-old patient by the therapy realized with ART under general anesthesia was done with success, avoiding unnecessary extractions, preserving dental elements, and maintaining the oral cavity in adequate function.
