Abordagem multidisciplinar no tratamento de incisivo lateral com fratura oblíqua e lesão periapical: relato de caso clínico / Multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of lateral incisor with oblique fracture and periapical injury: clinical case report

Casos de fraturas dentárias oblíquas muitas vezes possuem um prognóstico desfavorável, geralmente com indicação da extração do elemento dental. O presente artigo visou relatar o tratamento do caso clínico de um paciente do sexo masculino, 12 anos, que compareceu à Unidade de Saúde Bucal do Hospital Universitário de Brasília com encaminhamento de extração do dente 12, apresentando fratura oblíqua que se estendia subgengivalmente na face vestibular. O trauma havia ocorrido há três anos e o paciente havia sido submetido a diversas intervenções endodônticas, apresentando no momento da consulta inicial por nossa equipe uma lesão periapical extensa. Após a realização da anamnese, exame clínico e radiográfico, foi adotada uma abordagem multidisciplinar conservadora com a manutenção do dente e a realização da enucleação da lesão periapical por meio de intervenção cirúrgica e posterior reabilitação. Em uma mesma sessão, foi realizada a obturação do conduto com cone de guta percha e cimento sealer 26 e a cirurgia parendodôntica juntamente com a apicoplastia. Uma semana após a intervenção cirúrgica foi realizada restauração classe IV com resina composta baseada no enceramento dos modelos de diagnóstico montados em articulador. Com base em uma avaliação criteriosa e multidisciplinar, foi possível adotar uma abordagem conservadora no caso em questão, com a manutenção e reabilitação de um dente permanente em um paciente jovem, evitando a indicação de exodontia(AU)

Cases of oblique dental fractures often have an unfavorable prognosis, usually with the indication of extraction of the dental element. The present article aimed to report the treatment of the clinical case of a 12-year-old male patient, who attended the Oral Health Unit of the Hospital Universitário de Brasília with a referral for extraction of tooth 7, presenting an oblique fracture that extended subgingivally on the labial surface. The trauma had occurred three years ago and the patient had undergone several endodontic interventions, presenting an extensive periapical lesion at the time of the initial consultation by our team. After anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examination, a conservative multidisciplinar approach was adopted with the maintenance of the tooth and the enucleation of the periapical lesion through surgical intervention and subsequente rehabilitation. In the same session, the conduit was filled with gutta-percha cone and sealer cement 26 and parendodontic surgery was performed together with apicoplasty. One week after the surgical intervention, class IV restoration was performed with composite resin based on the waxing of the diagnostic models mounted on an articulator. Based on a careful and multidisciplinary evaluation, it was possible to adopt a conservative approach in the case in question, with the maintenance and rehabilitation of a permanent tooth in a young patient, avoiding the indication of extraction(AU)

Caso raro de utilização da técnica de coronectomia em terceiro molar maxilar invertido / Rare case of the use of the coronectomy technique in third inverted maxillary molar

Dentes impactados são caracterizados pela falha na erupção dentro do tempo cronológico. O termo ''dente invertido'' se refere ao mau posicionamento do dente, caracterizando-se pelo dente na direção contrária à usual. A inversão de dente impactado é considerada um fenômeno raro. Em casos mais complexos de impacção dentária, há a necessidade de um tratamento conservador, específico e procura-se prevenir possíveis danos às estruturas anatômicas adjacentes. Por essa razão, a técnica cirúrgica denominada coronectomia, também conhecida como odontectomia parcial intencional, tem, em alguns casos, indicação de uso, pois realiza-se a exérese da porção coronária do dente, sepultando as suas raízes, quando estas se encontram em contato com estruturas nobres. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um caso raro da utilização da técnica de coronectomia para um terceiro molar superior invertido em paciente do sexo feminino, 26 anos, que compareceu ao serviço de Cirurgia Buco-Maxilo-Facial apresentando um terceiro molar superior, assintomático, impactado em posição invertida no lado esquerdo. Ao exame tomográfico, apresentou íntimo contato do dente 28 com as raízes do 27. A porção coronária se encontrava em posição superior, em direção a parte posterior do seio maxilar. A técnica da coronectomia foi escolhida como planejamento cirúrgico, a fim de proteger o dente 27 das possíveis consequências traumáticas que a luxação e extração completa do dente 28 poderia ocasionar. O acompanhamento clínico demonstrou que a técnica foi bem indicada, com evolução de neoformação óssea completa na região da coroa removida e o dente adjacente com vitalidade e em função mastigatória(AU)

Impacted teeth are characterized by eruption failure within chronological time. The term 'inverted tooth' refers to the mispositioning of the tooth, characterized by the tooth in the opposite direction to the usual one. Impacted tooth inversion is considered a rare phenomenon. In more complex cases of dental impaction, there is a need for conservative and specific treatment, and attempts are made to prevent possible damage to adjacent anatomical structures. For this reason, the surgical technique called coronectomy, also known as intentional partial odontectomy, has, in some cases, indication of use, where the coronary portion of the tooth is excised, burying its roots when they are in contact with noble structures. Thus, this paper aims to present a rare case of the use of the inverted upper third molar coronectomy technique in a 26-year-old female patient, who attended the Buccomaxillofacial Surgery Service presenting a superior third molar, asymptomatic, impacted in inverted position on the left side. At tomographic examination, the patient presented close contact of tooth #16 with the roots of tooth #15. The coronary portion was in the superior position, towards the posterior part of the maxillary sinus. The coronectomy technique has been chosen as a surgical planning in order to protect tooth #15 from the possible traumatic consequences that dislocation and complete extraction of tooth #16 could cause. Clinical follow-up showed that the technique was successfully indicated, with complete bone neoformation in the removed crown area and the adjacent tooth with vitality and masticatory function(AU)

Periostite proliferativa associada a dens in dente

Proliferative periostitis is a disease characterized for successive deposition of layers of subperiosteal bone as a response reaction to a chronic inflammatory stimulation. The affected periosteum forms several rows of reactive bone that are parallel and expand the surface of the altered bone. Dens in dente is a developmental malformation resulting from invagination of the crown before calcification has occurred. They are usually diagnosed upon routine clinical and radiographic examination. An unusual case report of a mandibular dens in dente causing proliferative periostitis is presented. The source of infection was related to dens in dente in mandibular left second premolar's crown, which had apparently communication with periodontal tissues. It was successfully treated by surgical therapy with antibiotic duringthe treatment. After the extraction of the affected tooth, radiographic follow-up showed the decrease of proliferative periostitis, and remodelation of the cortical bone.

A periostite proliferativa é uma doença caracterizada por sucessivas deposições de camadas de osso subperióstica como resposta a um estímulo crônico inflamatório. O periósteo afetado forma sucessivas camadas de osso reacional paralelas entre si e expandem a superfície óssea nesse local. Dens in dente é uma alteração do desenvolvimento resultante de invaginação de esmalte para a dentina antes de sua calcificação ocorrer. Usualmente são diagnosticadas em exames clínicos-radiográficos de rotina. Um relato de caso clínico raro é apresentado sobre dens in dente na coroa do segundo pré-molar inferior causando periostite proliferativa. A fonte de infecção foi o dens in dente que tinha comunicação do meio bucal com a área do periodonto. Foi realizada a extração do dente anômalo associado com uso de antibióticos. As radiografias de controle mostraram diminuição da periostite proliferativa como remodelamento do osso cortical.

Radiographic assessment of the condylar position after Le Fort I osteotomy in patients with asymptomatic temporomandibular joints: a prospective study.

PURPOSE: A prospective radiographic study analyzed condylar position in patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment and isolated maxillary advancement after Le Fort I osteotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients were selected and radiographic images were taken in the immediate preoperative, immediate postoperative (1-2 weeks), and late postoperative periods (minimum of 6 months). Tracings were done on acetate paper for the submento-vertex radiograph, to measure the axial angulation of the condyles, and for the tomographic images of both sides, in the maximal intercuspation, rest position, and maximal opening, for the 3 periods. Linear measurements were taken for the tomograms over the posterior, superior, and anterior articular spaces. These images with the tracings were digitized and measured by means of computer software (UTHSCSA Image Tool 3.0; University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX), after it had been adequately calibrated. RESULTS: The analysis of variance (ANOVA; 5% of significance) demonstrated 1) that there was no statistically significant difference for the linear measurements of the articular spaces in any of the periods, and 2) also not for the angular measure of the condyles (P > .05). In the maximal opening, there was a significant difference for the immediate postoperative period for both sides (P = .003). CONCLUSION: Le Fort I osteotomy for maxillary advancement did not cause any significant changes in this specific group of patients evaluated.

Complications of intraoral donor site for bone grafting prior to implant placement.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the morbidity and the major complications of intraoral donor sites for bone grafting prior to implant placement. MATERIALS: The records of 104 consecutive patients with indication for bone grafting prior to implant installation treated at Piracicaba Dental School by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, from June 2001 until June 2003, were reviewed. RESULTS: One hundred three surgical procedures were realized, in which 40% were harvested from mandibular symphysis, 28.8% from mandibular ramus, and 31.2% from maxillary tuberosity. Prevalence of complications among intraoral donor sites was more significant after harvesting the mandibular symphysis. The major complication and discomfort reported by the patients was sensory deficit in lower lip and mental area. It was noted that 16% harvesting procedures involving symphysis and 8.3% involving the mandibular ramus area reported some sensory deficit. No complications were found involving the maxillary tuberosity. CONCLUSION: Complications and morbidity were smaller in the ramus than in symphysis, and temporary sensory disturbances were the most common complications, noted in both symphysis and ramus areas.

Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema of the face associated with paranasal sinus fractures: a prospective study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report was to review and analyze the epidemiologic features of traumatic subcutaneous emphysema (TSE) originating from frontal, nasoethmoidal, and maxillary facial injuries with sinusal involvement in the emergency room setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients with a fracture involving the paranasal sinuses were evaluated with regard to TSE occurrence. Data analysis extended to gender, age, etiology, fracture sites, TSE location, sinus involvement, treatment, and complications from April 1999 to December 2003. Evaluation methods included computed tomography scan and clinical evaluation. RESULTS: A total of 390 patients sustaining 458 paranasal sinus fractures were included. TSE was observed in 29 patients (7.43%) patients (male-female ratio of 3.83:1, with a mean age of 36.71 +/- 15.71 years). The main etiologies were vehicle accidents and assaults. Isolated maxillary sinuses fractures were found in 17 cases (58.62%). Ethmoidal and maxillary fractures were associated with 9 cases (31.03%), and 1 (3.45%) case had maxillary and frontal fractures together. Ethmoidal, maxillary, and frontal fractures were found concomitantly in 2 (6.90%) cases. Periorbital emphysema was the most prevalent site of presentation, and edema (86.21%) and bone deformities (79.31%) were the most frequent findings associated with TSE. Conservative treatment was the prevalent treatment choice (55.17%), and 1 complication because of persistent pain was noted. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that TSE of the face associated with paranasal sinus fractures maintained the clinical features of its fractures of origin. The ethmoidal sinuses were considered as the most prevalent etiologic site, and the periorbital region was responsible for addressing the higher incidence of SE following paranasal sinus fractures.
