Sensibilidad postoperatoria tras el cementado en prótesis fija / Postoperative sensibility post fixed prosthodontic cementation

De entre las complicaciones postoperatorias en prótesis fija, la sensibilidad ocupa un lugar destacado para algunos autores. Se evaluó la frecuencia de sensibilidad postoperatoria en dos grupos: (1) cementando una prótesis fija sólo con ionomero de Vidrio -IV- y (2) añadiendo previamente al cementado con IV un agente desensibilizante. Se puede concluir que la aplicación de un desensibilizante no supuso una mejoría clínica significativa en la sensibilidad postoperatoria (AU)

Between the most frequent complications in partial fixed prosthodontics, the postoperative sensitibity occupies an outstanding place for several authors. In this work was evaluated the frequency of postoperative sensitibity in 42 patients with full-coverage restorations were cemented with glass ionomer (group 1) or dentin bonding agent and glass ionomer (group 2). There were not differences between the groups (AU)

Registro de la dinámica témporomandibular mediante ultrasonidos con ARCUSdigma de KaVo / Registry of temporomandibular dynamics by means of ultrasounds with ARCUSdigma by KaVo

A lo largo del tiempo se han descrito distintos métodos para conocer y registrar la dinámica mandibular. En el presente trabajo exponemos un nuevo método basado en la emisión y recepción de ultrasonidos que nos va a permitir trabajar en tiempo real con reproducciones digitales de los movimientos que hace el paciente. Este sistema, recientemente creado por la empresa alemana KaVo, puede ser una gran ayuda, no tan solo para acelerar y mejorar el montaje y ajuste de modelos en articulador, sino para conocer en el momento, y antes de enfrentarse a un trabajo de restauración, las características de los movimientos mandibulares del paciente y poder dejarlo registrado en nuestra historia. Del mismo modo, esta posibilidad de trabajar con gráficos de movimiento mandibular en tiempo real tiene, a nuestra forma de ver, infinidad de posibilidades en el área de la educación, investigación...etc. Por tanto, el primer paso es presentar y conocer las posibilidades del ARCUSdigma® de KaVo (KaVo elektrotechnisches, Werk, GMBH, Leutkirch,Germany) (AU)

This system, recently created by the German company KaVo, can be a great aid, not so single to accelerate and to improve the assembly and adjustment of models in artieulator, but to know in the moment, and before facing a work of restoration, the characteristics of the patient jaw movements and to leave register red it in our history. In the same way, this possibility of working with mandibular traffic diagrams in real time has, as we think, infinity of possibilities in the area of the education, investigation ... etc. Therefore, the first step is to present and to know ARCUSdigma® (KaVo elektrotechnisches, Werk, GMBH, leutkirch,Germany) possibilities (AU)

[Oral lesions in a group of heroin addicts]. / Lesiones bucales en una población heroinómana.

Lesions of the oral mucous membrane are studied in 100 heroin dependent people compared with 100 control, other habits like smoking, alcohol ingesting and sexual oral practices are also taking in consideration. Salival flux and other salival characteristics are also analyzed. The heroin dependent people show significative increase in salival filament but this difference that's not exit of we also analyze in the lesions of lips, tongue, palate and vestibule in relation to controls. Nevertheless in the take into account only smokers and drinkers of both groups the only lesions significantly more frequent are those on the lips.
