RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mandibular third molar (MTM) extraction is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the oral cavity. Establishing the level of surgical difficulty pre-operatively is an essential step to ensure correct treatment planning. In Spain, MTM extraction - especially in cases presenting greater difficulty - is normally performed by doctors specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery, or by dentists with postgraduate qualifications in oral surgery. The present work set out to analyze the extent to which perceptions of surgical difficulty of the said intervention vary in relation to professional training. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study took the form of a survey. Using a visual analog scale (VAS), participants evaluated both the perceived difficulty of 30 cases of MTM extraction described by means of digital panoramic radiographs and the perceived difficulty deriving from a series of factors conditioning MTM extraction. The results underwent statistical analysis with SPSS Statistics 28.0 software. Non-parametric tests (Mann Whitney test for independent samples and the Kruskal-Wallis test) were applied. RESULTS: A total of 213 surveys were available for analysis. Both groups awarded the greatest importance to clinical experience, followed by anatomical and radiographic factors, root morphology obtaining the highest score among anatomical factors (9.01±1.42), while proximity of the MTM to the inferior alveolar nerve was regarded as the least important anatomical factor (8.11±2.54). Significant differences were only found for patient age, whereby maxillofacial surgeons awarded this factor more importance than dentists. CONCLUSIONS: The different training received by dentists specialized in oral surgery and maxillofacial surgeons did not influence either perceptions of surgical difficulty of MTM extraction, or opinions as to the factors influencing surgical difficulty.

RESUMO

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopic findings are difficult to predict based on clinical criteria. Few studies have attempted to correlate signs, symptoms, and characteristics of patients with the final arthroscopic findings. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between clinical-radiological signs and symptoms and arthroscopic findings in patients with TMJ dysfunction undergoing arthroscopy. A retrospective study was performed involving 487 patients (829 joints) with TMJ dysfunction who underwent TMJ arthroscopy between 2000 and 2019. The clinical-radiological variables recorded were pain, maximum mouth opening, joint noises, Wilkes classification, and disc displacement. The arthroscopic findings evaluated were synovitis, chondromalacia, adhesions, disc perforation, disc displacement, and roofing. Pain symptoms were significantly associated with the intensity of synovitis (P = 0.005) and disc displacement evaluated arthroscopically (P < 0.001). A statistically significant relationship was observed between Wilkes stage and the level of synovitis (P < 0.001) and chondromalacia (P < 0.001). Mouth opening was negatively correlated with adhesions (P < 0.001). Based on this study, pain symptomatology was associated with the intensity of synovitis and disc displacement evaluated arthroscopically, the Wilkes stage was a good predictor of the severity of synovitis and chondromalacia, and mouth opening was negatively correlated with adhesions.

RESUMO

Objetivo: El objetivo de la I Conferencia Española de Consenso sobre el Injerto Óseo Sinusal era intentar llegar a puntos de acuerdo sobre las principales controversias de esta técnica, aplicada de forma muy variada y con el empleo de materiales muy diversos, y conseguir plasmar los mismos en un documento resumen consensuado por todos los autores. Material y método: Durante los días 17 y 18 de octubre de 2008 se celebró en Oviedo la citada conferencia, auspiciada por la Sociedad Española de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial. En ella se dieron cita un total de 50 ponentes de reconocido prestigio nacional e internacional que repasaron en 6 mesas de trabajo las principales controversias sobre los injertos óseos sinusales. Tras las conferencias de los ponentes, los moderadores establecían las principales conclusiones de cada mesa y se abría un turno de debate donde participaban todos los asistentes. Resultado: Este documento y sus conclusiones emanan de las presentaciones realizadas por los ponentes y de las deliberaciones y acuerdos de cada mesa de trabajo. Ambos han sido aprobados tras varias correcciones por todos los autores antes de ser enviados para su publicación. Además, han obtenido el reconocimiento científico oficial de la Sociedad Española de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial y deben servir como base para futuros estudios y reuniones científicas. Conclusiones: El objetivo fundamental cuando se realiza un injerto óseo sinusal es la formación de hueso vital en el seno maxilar, para conseguir la supervivencia a largo plazo de los implantes tras su carga protésica. Para ello, la técnica y la secuencia de tratamiento deben orientarse a conseguir resultados predecibles y estables en el tiempo, aunque esto suponga un mayor tiempo de espera hasta la colocación de la prótesis. La estabilidad inicial del implante es el factor clave para la osteointegración y debe ser el principal criterio para indicar implantes simultáneos o diferidos en el seno maxilar(AU)


Objective: The objectives of the first Spanish Consensus Conference on Sinus Bone Graft were trying to reach agreements points on the major controversies of this technique, and translate them in a summary document. Material and method: During the 17th and 18th of October of 2008 took place in Oviedo (Spain) the Conference, sponsored by the Spanish Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. There, 50 national and international speakers reviewed in 6 workshops the major controversies of sinus bone grafts. Following the conferences, the moderators proposed the main conclusions of each workshop and opened a round of discussion where all attendees participated. Results: This document and its conclusions emanate from the presentations made by the speakers and the discussions and agreements of each workshop. Both have been approved after several corrections by all authors before being submitted for publication. They have also obtained the official scientific recognition of the Spanish Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and should serve as a basis for future scientific studies and meetings. Conclusions: The main objective when we perform a sinus bone graft is vital bone formation in the maxillary sinus, to achieve long-term survival of the implants after prosthetic loading. To do this, the technique and sequence of treatment should aim to achieve predictable and stable results over time, although this involves a longer waiting time. The initial implant stability is the key factor for osseointegration and should be the main criterion to indicate simultaneous or delayed implants in the maxillary sinus(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. La implantología es uno de los procedimientos terapéuticosmás realizados en nuestros días. El objetivo del presente estudio espresentar los resultados de los los implantes MG-OSSEOUS (Mozo-Grau, S.L.,Valladolid, España) a los 2 años de seguimiento. Material y método. La empresaScientific Management in O&SS (Barcelona, España), diseñó unos cuestionariosexhaustivos que rellenaron, por cada caso, cada uno de los profesionalesdel estudio. La compilación y el tratamiento estadístico de los datosobtenidos fue extremadamente pormenorizada. Se aplicaron estudios de subpoblacionesdesde la población N de implantes totales colocados y, mediantela aplicación de ANOVA, se valoraron parámetros concretos en dichas subpoblacionespara determinar y concluir la influencia de los mismos sobre elfracaso de los implantes. Resultados. Se colocaron 1475 implantes en 480pacientes entre Junio de 2005 y Mayo de 2006, con una supervivencia del98,2% con un seguimiento de 2 años de promedio con las prótesis cargadas.Se detallan los implantes por posiciones, diámetros y longitudes y se analizanlos resultados en las subpoblaciones de implantes postexodoncia, implantesde carga inmediata e implantes asociados a injertos. Discusión. Se focaliza,realizando un amplio repaso de la bibliografía actual, en el alto fracaso obtenidoen nuestro estudio de los implantes de diámetro ancho (4,25 mm) postexodonciay en la versatilidad del empleo de los implantes de diámetro estrecho(3,4 mm) en cualquier posición oral para cualquier tipo de carga. Conclusiones.Este estudio es la completa antítesis de la filosofía, en el que se interpretade una sola manera, científica y reproducible, una serie de resultadosen el campo de la implantología oral, nuestra realidad. Seguiremos este estudiopara alargar el tiempo observacional, como mínimo, a 5 años(AU)


Introduction. Implantology is the most commontherapeutic procedure nowadays. Professor P.I. Branemark beganthis procedure in 1965 and got very bad results. Since the HarvardConsensus Conference, 30 years ago, showing and explaining thesurprising criteria of the implant’s survey, until now we have movedto the opposite side. All the rules are broken and they try to convinceyou by publishing some trials that are not scientific enough. Wepresent this truly scientific trial using MG-OSSEOUS implants (Mozo-Grau SL, Valladolid, Spain) as a humble contribution, based on welldefined and realistic clinical uses. Material and methods. TheSpanish company Scientific Management in O&SS (Barcelona)designed a complete questionnaire to be completed by theimplantologist dealing with each clinical case. The compilation andstatistical processing were extremely rigorous. Data was managed,from the total rate of implants (N), to conclude if it was possible toobtain true data of different samples, and using ANOVA, to analyzeselected parameters from these samples, in order to see the directrelation between them and the failure of the implants. Results.1,475 dental implants were placed in 480 patients, between June2005 and May 2006. The global implants success rate was 98.2%with an average of 2 years follow-up with the connected prostheses.The implants’ position, length and diameter are detailed and thesamples are also analyzed, as post extraction implants, immediateloading implants and implants associated with grafts. Discussion.We focused on, completing an exhaustive revision of actualbibliographical sources, the high failure rate obtained by the widediameter implants (4,25 mm) post extraction and on the versatilityof the strength diameter implants (3,4 mm) to be placed anywherein the mouth, with no mean of the type of prosthesis associated...(AU)

RESUMO

Los bisfosfonatos son análogos estables de los pirofosfatos inorgánicosque han demostrado su eficacia para el tratamiento de diversas patologías,como las lesiones osteolíticas asociadas a metástasis óseas o al mielomamúltiple, la hipercalcemia maligna, la enfermedad de Paget y la osteoporosis.En la actualidad se podría hablar, al menos académicamente, de dosentidades con diferentes grados de información científica: las osteonecrosisen relación con la administración intravenosa de estos medicamentos y lasosteonecrosis en relación con la administración oral de los mismos. Para elprimer grupo las estrategias de prevención y tratamiento empiezan a estarconsolidadas, mientras que para el segundo se precisará de una mayor documentacióncientífica para alcanzar este objetivo. Facilitar el diagnóstico clínicoy complementario de las osteonecrosis por bisfosfonatos por parte delos especialistas de la salud oral (cirujanos orales y maxilofaciales, odontólogosy estomatólogos). Los objetivos del presente artículo son explicitar lasmedidas preventivas más apropiadas para limitar el número de casos de estapatología, a la luz de los conocimientos actuales, detallar la forma de tratamientomás reconocida para los diferentes estadios de la osteonecrosis,una vez establecida así como proporcionar un documento para la buena praxismédica y odontológica en los pacientes que padecen esta enfermedad oestén en riesgo de sufrirla. Este documento ha sido aprobado por la ComisiónCientífica de la SECOM(AU)


The bisphosphonates are stable inorganic pyrophosphateanalogs that have demonstrated their efficacy in the treatment ofa variety of pathologies, such as osteolytic lesions associated withbony metastases or multiple myeloma, malignant hypercalcemia,Paget’s disease, and osteoporosis. Currently, two disease entitiessupported by different degrees of scientific evidence can becharacterized, at least academically: osteonecrosis associated withintravenous bisphosphonate administration and osteonecrosisassociated with oral bisphosphonate administration. Preventionand treatment strategies are being consolidated for jaw necrosisassociated with intravenous bisphosphonate use, but more scientificdocumentation is needed for the condition associated with oralbisphosphonate use. Our aim is to facilitate the clinical andcomplementary diagnosis of bisphosphonate associated osteonecrosisby oral health specialists (oral and maxillofacial surgeons, dentists,and stomatologists). The objectives of the present article were todescribe the most appropriate preventive measures for limiting thenumber of cases of this pathology in the light of current knowledge,to detail the best recognized form of treatment for different stagesof jaw osteonecrosis, and, for established jaw osteonecrosis, todescribe good medical and dentistry practice for patients who sufferthis disease or are at risk of suffering it. This document was approvedby the SECOM Scientific Commission(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a recently developed electrostimulating device mounted on an individualized intra-oral removable appliance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The device, containing electrodes, a wetness sensor, an electronic circuit and a power source, was tested on patients with xerostomia in a crossover, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blinded, multicenter study. Electrical stimulation and also sham were delivered during 10 min to the oral mucosa, in the mandibular third molar region. Oral dryness was measured by the sensor. As the primary outcome, sensor dryness and xerostomia symptom changes as a result of device wearing were assessed, and compared between active and sham modes. In addition, side-effects were recorded. RESULTS: Electrostimulation resulted in a significant decrease in sensor dryness, leading to a beneficial effect on patients' subjective condition. No significant side-effects were observed.

RESUMO

Temporomandibular joint arthoscopy is a minimal invasive surgical procedure commonly used to effectively treat some internal derangement of the TMJ. However, this method is not free of complications. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a lesion that communicates the high flow arterial system and the low flow venous network. We describe a new case of preauricular traumatic AVF successfully treated with external carotid embolization, along with a review of the medical literature.

RESUMO

The expansive lesions, whether tumoral or not, originated at the level of the anatomical region of the skull base (SB), show a great histologic variety and clinicaly they cause a variable chronic neurological disfunction. Surgical treatment appears to be the best therapeutic option. An exhaustive knowledge of the topographic anatomy of this area is the mandatory in order to design an appropriate surgical strategy. In many cases, a narrow cooperation with specialists is necesary. As in any other surgical activity, a complete excision of the lesion and an optimal functional and aesthetic rehabilitation, without complications, is the challenge of the surgical team. The approach to the anatomical area of the SB is not single, but is based on a number of procedures, although none of them could be considered the best, or without technical difficulty or any complications. Within the group of transoral approaches, the Le Fort I-Palatal split (LFPS) technique has been considered by different authors an excellent way to approach the clivus and the occipito-vertebral joint. We report the case of a patient, treated in cooperation with the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital. He was clinical and radiologically diagnosed of basilar impresion with bulbar compression, and the MRI revealed the presence of a located extradural fibrous injury above the odontoid apophysis. Therefore we chose the use of a LFPS to approach this lesion. With an optimal surgical field, a complete excision of the lesion was obtained. The postoperatory result in the subsequent follow-up was highly satisfactory.

RESUMO

Introducción: En el momento actual y sólo en el Reino Unido, alrededor de 300.000 personas están sometidas a anticoagulación oral. Con una población en claro envejecimiento en Europa y Norte América y una preocupación cada vez mayor en lo que especta a la salud dental, el número de pacientes anticoagulados de forma oral que requerirán algún tipo de cirugía oral está sujeto a incrementarse. Este estudio pretende proponer una serie de directrices a la hora de plantear el manejo de un paciente anticoagulado que va a requerir cualquier tipo de cirugía oral. Material y método: Se ha revisado y comparado la literatura más reciente indexada en Medline. Además se han consultado diferentes libros texto sobre la materia. Resultados: Tradicionalmente, los pacientes anticoagulados que van ser sometidos a cirugía oral, venían siendo sometidos a una interrupcion de su terapia o a una disminución de los niveles de anticoagulación antes del procedimiento quirúrgico. Fenómenos trombóticos y oclusiones vasculares son problemas comunes derivados de esta actitud. Incluso se han descrito algunos casos de embolia fatal. En los últimos años, en muchos pacientes se ha venido sustituyendo la coaguloterapia oral por una terapia de heparina parenteral estándar. Sin embargo, hay un importante debate suscitado sobre la idoneidad e, incluso, la seguridad de esta medida. Recientes publicaciones muestran que extracciones de piezas dentarias, y otro tipo de procedimientos quirúrgicos orales, pueden ser realizados sin modificar para nada la anticoagulación, si el INR (international normal ratio) del paciente es de 4 o menor y se utilizan procedimientos especiales de hemostasia local. No se objetivan diferencias en cuanto al sangrado postoperatorio. Discusión: Aunque se requieren más estudios en esta materia, puede considerarse que el manejo del paciente anticoagulado sometido a cirugía oral debe estar influenciado por diversos factores como el tipo de procedimiento quirúrgico, el valor INR, otros factores de riesgo concomita y una importante dosis de juicio clínico. Conclusiones: Pensamos que el INR es un excelente índice que permite al cirujano conocer el estado de anticoagulación del paciente. Se proponen unas directrices para el manejo quirúrgico de este tipo de pacientes. Ante cualquier sombra de duda, debe buscarse el consejo del hematólo, el médico prescriptor de la terapia (AU)

RESUMO

La patología de carácter expansivo, tumoral o no, originada a nivel de la región anatómica de la base del cráneo (BC), presenta una gran diversidad histológica; desde un punto de vista clínico provoca una disfunción neurológica crónica de mayor o menor gravedad. El tratamiento quirúrgico representa la opción terapéutica más empleada. Un conocimiento exhaustivo de la anatomía topográfica de esta área es prioritario para un correcto diseño de la estrategia operatoria. En muchos casos se requiere una estrecha colaboración multidisciplinar. Como en cualquier actividad quirúrgica, la exéresis lesional completa y una correcta rehabilitación funcional y estética, en ausencia de complicaciones, es el reto del equipo quirúrgico. El abordaje a la encrucijada anatómica que constituye la BC no es único, si no que se sustenta en un gran abanico de posibilidades; ninguna vía se puede considerar la mejor, ni ninguna está exenta de dificultad técnica, ni de posibles complicaciones. Dentro del grupo de las vías transorales, la osteotomía maxilar tipo Le Fort I (OMLF I) segmentado, es aceptada por distintos autores como una excelente posibilidad de abordaje a la región del clivus y de la charnela occipito-vertebral. Presentamos el caso de un paciente, tratado de forma conjunta con el Servicio de Neurocirugía de nuestro hospital. Fue diagnosticado clínica y radiológicamente de impresión basilar con compresión bulbar. El estudio de imagen mediante Resonancia Magnética (RM) ponía de manifiesto la presencia de un lesión fibrosa extradural localizada alrededor de la apófisis odontoides. En sesión clínica conjunta se decidió emplear un abordaje mediante OMLF I segmentado para abordar dicha lesión. La exposición del lecho quirúrgico fue óptima, obteniéndose una resección completa. Los resultados postoperatorios fueron altamente satisfactorios (AU)

RESUMO

Preauricular sinus and fistulas are minor developmental anomalies. They are bilateral in 35% to 50% of cases. We describe the application of a combined technique in a rare case of bilateral congenital preauricular fistulas. Initial fistula probing serves as a surgical guide, and further methylene blue infection helps to avoid leaving viable squamous epithelial remnants.

RESUMO

We examined 112 fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens of salivary glands (80 parotid and 32 submaxillary) taken between January 1989 and December 1995. Cytologic diagnoses were compared with the final histological diagnoses of the surgical specimens. The sensitivity and specificity were 84.8% and 93.7% respectively, and the accuracy was 91.1%. We conclude that FNAB by itself does not provide total security because of the high percentage of false-negatives. It is nevertheless useful when combined with an adequate clinical history, examination and radiological tests.
