RESUMO

The osseodensification (OD) technique differs from conventional milling for dental implant installation in that it preserves the prepared bone and compacts it toward the apex and lateral walls of the socket, resulting in bone compaction. By enabling autografting, bone expansion, and high implant insertion torques, OD has become an increasingly popular option. The aim of this clinical case report is to demonstrate the predictability of combining OD with guided bone and tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR) techniques for bone expansion in the maxilla with reduced thickness, while avoiding other reconstructive surgeries. The report presents the treatment of a 32-year-old female patient who had cosmetic concerns regarding the anterior maxillary region. The patient was using an adhesive prosthesis with pontic on tooth 13 fixed between teeth 12 and 14. After the case was planned, it was decided that bone expansion in the region would be performed using the OD technique. The implant installation (AR Torque, 3.5 × 11.5 mm, Conexão®) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) were done with the assistance of L-PRF (Stick Bone, associated with L-PRF membrane). Following the osseointegration period, a provisional resin crown was fabricated, and a collagen matrix membrane (Mucoderm®) was used to increase vestibular soft tissue volume and shape the patient's gingival profile. After a period of 120 days, the final crown was created and observed for a span of 5 years. The results showed stability of the case along with maintaining its esthetic and satisfactory function. The use of the osseodensification technique coupled with a connective tissue graft substitute has been anticipated for a long time. It has proven to be an excellent alternative to autogenous grafts.

RESUMO

Digital workflow is increasingly accessible in daily dental practice. It has several benefits in implantology, such as the possibility of precise planning, which results in faster and safer surgery and, consequently, reduced prosthetic complications. There are also disadvantages that must be taken into consideration for successful treatment, such as deviations between the planned and placed implant position and intraoral scanning inaccuracies. We report a clinical case in implantology in which digital workflow was used throughout the process, pointing out its facilities and complications in the daily practice of dental surgeons. The patient had grade II mobility and external root resorption of tooth 11. After virtual planning, a surgical guide was fabricated by a CAD/CAM system, with immediate placement of a dental implant using the guided surgery technique. At the end of the osseointegration period, intraoral scanning was performed for fabrication of the final prosthesis also by a CAD/CAM system. After placement, the patient approved the aesthetic and functional results of the implant. We observed advantages such as simplification of clinical steps and safety of the proposed planning, but there were also disadvantages such as the complexity of digital tools, deviations of the placed implant, and inaccuracy in color selection. It was concluded that digital workflow is a reality that can be integrated into daily dental practice, resulting in greater safety, predictability of results, and ease of use in all clinical stages. However, it should be noted that there are still inaccuracies in digital tools and that a steep learning curve is needed in this area, which, if neglected, may lead to unsatisfactory results.

RESUMO

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the salivary microbiome in healthy peri-implant sites and those with peri-implantitis. Methods: Saliva samples were collected from 21 participants with healthy peri-implant sites and 21 participants with peri-implantitis. The V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced using the Ion Torrent PGM System (Ion 318™ Chip v2 400). The NGS analysis and composition of the salivary microbiome were determined by taxonomy assignment. Downstream bioinformatic analyses were performed in QIIME (v 1.9.1). Results: Clinical differences according to peri-implant condition status were found. Alpha diversity metrics revealed that the bacterial communities of participants with healthy peri-implant sites tended to have a richer microbial composition than individuals with peri-implantitis. In terms of beta diversity, bleeding on probing (BoP) may influence the microbial diversity. However, no clear partitioning was noted between the salivary microbiome of volunteers with healthy peri-implant sites or volunteers with peri-implantitis. The highest relative abundance of Stenotrophomonas, Enterococcus and Leuconostoc genus, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Prevotella copri, Bacteroides vulgatus, and Bacteroides stercoris bacterial species was found in participants with peri-implantitis when compared with those with healthy peri-implant sites. Conclusion: Differences in salivary microbiome composition were observed between patients with healthy peri-implant sites and those with peri-implantitis. BoP could affect the diversity (beta diversity) of the salivary microbiome.

RESUMO

Dental surgeons need in-depth knowledge of the bone tissue status and gingival morphology of atrophic maxillae. The aim of this study is to describe preoperative virtual planning of placement of 5 implants and to compare the plan with the actual surgical results. Three-dimensional (3D) planning of rehabilitation using software programs enables surgical guides to be specially designed for the implant site and manufactured using 3D printing. A patient with 5 teeth missing was selected for this study. The patient's maxillary region was scanned with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and a cast model was produced. After virtual planning using ImplantViewer, 5 implants were placed using a printed surgical guide. Two weeks after the surgical procedure, the patient underwent another CBCT scan of the maxilla. Statistically significant differences were detected between the virtually planned positions and the actual positions of the implants, with a mean deviation of 0.36 mm in the cervical region and 0.7 mm in the apical region. The surgical technique used enables more accurate procedures compared with the conventional technique. Implants can be better positioned, with a high level of predictability, reducing both operating time and patient discomfort.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to review potential deviation factors in stereolithographic surgical guides for dental implantology, warnings, and limitations of the system. METHODS: An electronic search in databases EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and PubMed were conducted by 3 researchers to collect information on the accuracy of static computer-guided implant placement to summarize and analyze the overall accuracy. The latter included a search for correlations between factors such as support (teeth/mucosa/bone), number of templates, use of fixation pins, jaw, template production, guiding system, and guided implant placement in articles related to guided surgery with stereolithographic static systems. Studies published between 2012 and 2017 were reviewed. RESULTS: From 761 identified articles, a total of 24 articles were reviewed, which included 2767 dental implants. Data from studies analysis had shown a mean deviation of 3.08 degrees in angular position, 1.14 at the entry point, and 1.46 at apex position. Involved deviation factors were related to planning, laboratory, and surgical phases. CONCLUSION: Guided surgery may have a limited precision as technique, which surgeons need to be aware in the planning process. This review suggests some security measures in guided surgery process.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Implant-supported dentures in esthetic zones pose a great challenge to dental surgeons, since important factors are involved in treatment success, such as positioning of the implants, morphology of soft tissues, dental esthetics, and biomechanics of the prosthetic structure. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This clinical report describes the case of a patient previously subjected to dental surgery for implant placement on tooth #11 and subsequent prosthetic crown placement. The patient reported poor esthetics due to gingival retraction and changes on the surface of the ceramic material. After proper multidisciplinary planning, the prosthesis was remanufactured, with the selection of new components and periodontal surgery using a modified technique for the handling of soft tissues. After nine postoperative months, the patient had a better gingival alignment and reported esthetic and functional satisfaction. DISCUSSION: After assessing the positioning of implants, it is important to select prosthetic components that are suitable to each clinical case, as they will guarantee clinical success for long time periods. In order to obtain a better gingival contour and avoid an extensive surgical procedure, two techniques were used: the pinhole surgical technique, in which the gingiva is repositioned without the use of grafts; and Tarnow's technique, in which a semilunar incision is made in soft tissues. CONCLUSION: The multidisciplinary approach, combining prosthetic and periodontal procedures, proved to be efficient, improving esthetic outcomes.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the presence of cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1ß, and TNF-α) and human herpesvirus (HSV1, HSV2, EBV, CMV, VZV, HHV6, HHV7, and HHV8) in saliva samples taken from subjects with and without peri-implantitis. Forty-two periodontally healthy subjects were divided according to peri-implant condition: healthy and peri-implantitis groups. The clinical parameters as probing depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, gingival bleeding, bleeding on probing, and suppuration were evaluated. For cytokine detection, multiplex analysis was performed, and PCR assay was used to identify herpesviruses. No significant differences were found in cytokine levels between groups (p > 0.05). The presence of herpesvirus was 1.97-fold higher in patients with peri-implantitis (odds ratio, CI 0.52-7.49). The association of the presence or absence of herpesvirus with the salivary markers was statistically significant for MIP-1ß (p = 0.0087) and TNF-α (p = 0.0437) only in the peri-implantitis group. The presence of herpesviruses in patients with peri-implantitis suggests the development of a proinflammatory environment, which is characterized by increased expression of MIP-1ß and TNF-α in saliva.

RESUMO

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as well as other choroidal diseases, demand novel therapeutic methods. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which uses light and photosensitizer (PS) to cause specific vascular occlusion in the macula, is an interesting alternative. The only drug approved for the PDT treatment of AMD (Verteporfin) has a natural tendency to aggregate, demanding an expensive separation procedure during purification. We report a novel and affordable PS that is intrinsically protected against aggregation, the Monomeric Chlorin at High Concentration (MCHC-Chlorin), whose liposomal formulation was developed to provoke effective photodynamic action on the choroidal vasculature. Our report starts by stablishing the conditions to allow the efficient synthesis of MCHC-Chlorin in high yields (92%). We then tested the light stimulated occlusion of choriocapillary vessels in rabbit's eyes induced by the two MCHC-Chlorin isomers, which are directly obtained from the synthetic route. The PS formulation was infused in the rabbit's ear vein and eyes were immediately irradiated at 650 nm. Indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and histopathological evaluations were used to evaluate levels of photo-thrombosis and collateral damage. Choriocapillary occlusion was achieved in all treated rabbits' eyes, while retina and sclera were completely preserved. There was no photochemical reaction in none of the eyes that received LASER without PS. Both MCHC-Chlorin isomers were separately tested and exhibited similar positive results with no systemic toxicity. Therefore, PDT occurred equally well in all treated eyes and none of the controls showed any effect in the ophthalmological exams. MCHC-Chlorin offers great potential and should be further studied as an alternative drug for choroidal diseases.

RESUMO

In a prospective case series of patients with Blau-Jabs syndrome (BJS) conducted in the Ophthalmology Department/Federal University of Sao Paulo, seven patients with clinical and ophthalmologic manifestations of the disease and a positive genetic test result for the presence of a mutation in the CARD15/NOD2 gene were followed for a minimal period of 1 year. All patients had uveitis, five had nummular corneal subepithelial opacities, and four had multifocal choroiditis. Oral prednisolone was administered to all patients; inflammation was controlled in six patients with at least one immunosuppressive drug. Infliximab (Remicade; Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Beerse, Belgium) and etanercept (Enbrel; Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA) were used to treat two cases refractory to the anti-inflammatory drugs. A subconjunctival dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex; Allergan, Irvine, CA) and a periocular injection of triamcinolone were used in one case to achieve inflammation control. Six patients achieved a visual acuity of 20/25 or better. The authors conclude that periocular treatment with steroid injections might be effective adjuvant therapy to control ocular inflammation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Calcified band keratopathy is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by the deposition of gray to white opacity in superficial layers of the cornea that typically develops over months or years. It is associated with a variety of conditions, including chronic uveitis. PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to assess visual acuity and corneal changes in patients with band keratopathy secondary to uveitis who underwent phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). SETTING: The place where this study was performed was in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Federal University of Sao Paulo. DESIGN: This is a retrospective study. METHODS: Patients with uveitic band keratopathy were submitted to PTK. The PTK was performed using Allegreto Wave EX500, with the ablation area of 6 mm. RESULTS: Twelve patients (13 eyes) diagnosed with band keratopathy secondary to chronic uveitis were analyzed. Of the 12 patients, 8 patients were female (66 %), aged 22 years (7-53 years). From the 12 patients (13 eyes) evaluated in this study, only one patient (one eye) did not have visual improvement, due to epithelial deposits 2 weeks after PTK, and all the others benefited with the procedure. In the children group, all eyes had visual improvement, and quantitatively speaking, the children had a more significant improvement than adults. CONCLUSIONS: PTK is a safe and effective procedure even for children. However, the improvement in visual acuity was restricted due to other ocular changes secondary to uveitis, such as cataract and retinal changes, or even the corneal irregularity.

RESUMO

Here we present the cases of three female children, of whom two were aged 6 years and one was aged 11 years. Two of the three children had bilateral uveitis and suspected cataract and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. The third one had uveitis and suspected cataract in one eye and sympathetic ophthalmia (SO), and had undergone penetrating keratoplasty in the fellow eye following a trauma. After controlling the inflammation, we planned to perform phacoemulsification without intraocular lens implantation. However, intraoperatively, after removing the epilens membranes, the lenses appeared clear, and therefore phacoemulsification was not performed. During follow-up, the patients did not develop cataract, and visual acuity levels ranged from 20/30 to 20/100. Fundoscopy revealed VKH disease and SO. Ophthalmologists should not always assume that patients with uveitis have cataract; a transparent lens may exist behind the epilens membrane, allowing a less aggressive therapeutic approach.

RESUMOApresentamos os casos de três meninas (duas de seis anos e uma de onze anos), com uveíte bilateral e suspeita de catarata em ambos os olhos e doença de Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) em dois casos. No terceiro caso, oftalmia simpática e suspeita de catarata em um olho e trauma com ceratoplastia penetrante no outro olho. Após controle da inflamação, indicou-se facoemulsificação sem LIO. No per-operatório, após retirada da membrana epicristaliniana, a transparência do cristalino foi percebida, não sendo realizada a facoemulsificação. No período de acompanhamento as pacientes não desenvolveram catarata e a acuidade visual variou de 20/30 a 20/100. O exame de fundoscopia reforçou o diagnóstico de VKH e oftalmia simpática. Portanto, é muito importante que o oftalmologista esteja sempre atento quando se deparar com um caso de uveíte com suspeita de catarata, porque, por trás da membrana epicristaliniana pode existir um cristalino transparente, o que leva a uma conduta terapêutica menos agressiva.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chlorophyllin-M is a new chlorophyll-based derivative photosensitive compound developed by our research group with easy laboratorial synthesis and ideal properties for photodynamic therapy (PDT). It is intended for clinical treatments with simple and low cost techniques and reagents. The objective of this study is to evaluate if intravenous chlorophyllin-M is able to deliver a photosensitizer to rabbit retina and rabbit choroid and promote PDT after ocular irradiation with a 660 nm LASER. METHODS: This is a pre-clinical study. Ten eyes of five pigmented Californian rabbits were included in the study. The right eyes served as the treatment group, and the left eyes served as the control group. All eyes had been ophthalmologically evaluated and were considered normal. RESULTS: Ophthalmic exam with anterior biomicroscopy, dilated fundus examination, and fluorescein angiography after the LASER procedure revealed normal anterior segment, retinal and choroid vessels occlusion, lumen narrowing, and capillary non-perfusion in the treated areas, indicating that PDT was successful in the treatment eyes group. CONCLUSION: The results of this pre-clinical study encourage future studies with this new compound. Chlorophyllin-M may become a new cost-effective agent in the retinal therapeutic arsenal.

RESUMO

A Síndrome de Incontinentia Pigmenti (Síndrome de Bloch-Sulzberger) é uma doença rara, ligada ao cromossomo X e envolve tecidos ectodérmicos de múltiplos órgãos. As manifestações oculares surgem ao nascimento ou após algumas semanas. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar as características oftalmológicas, dermatológicas e os achados radiológicos de uma paciente com a Síndrome de Incontinentia Pigmenti. Trata-se de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 26 anos que procurou o serviço de Oftalmologia da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC com queixa de baixa de visão em ambos os olhos há 1 ano. Apresentava alterações retinianas importantes e lesões cutâneas e dentárias sugestivas de síndrome de Incontinentia Pigmenti, confirmada por biópsia de pele. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico precoce é essencial, pois as lesões retinianas podem levar a sequelas graves e cegueira.


Incontinentia Pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome) is a rare, X-linked dominant disorder that involves ectodermal tissues of multiple systems. Cutaneous manifestations appear at birth or within a few weeks after. We aimed to describe ophthalmological, dermatological and radio diagnostic findings of a patient with Incontinentia Pigmenti. A twenty-six year old girl was followed at ABC Medicine School for visual loss, retina and cutaneous lesions with the diagnosis of Incontinentia Pigmenti confirmed by a skin biopsy. She had delayed eruption of her teeth some of which were conical. To conclude early management of retinal changes in Incontinentia Pigmenti is essential because they may be serious leading to blindness.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Comparação da espessura central da córnea entre crianças com cristalino transparente (controle), catarata, pseudofácicas e afácicas. Estudo prospectivo, observacional. MÉTODOS: Noventa e quatro olhos de 47 crianças foram submetidos à medida da espessura central corneana (ECC) e comparou-se o grupo controle (cristalino transparente) aos pacientes que apresentavam catarata, afacia ou pseudofacia. Pacientes com Síndrome de Down, aniridia, Síndrome de Marfan, glaucoma, anormalidades do segmento anterior ou pressão intraocular maior que 30 mmHg foram excluídos do estudo. RESULTADOS: Dos 94 olhos estudados, 52 faziam parte do grupo controle com ECC média 533,6 µm. No grupo com catarata (n=27) a ECC média foi de 532,3 µm, enquanto no grupo de afácicos (n=8) e pseudofácicos (n=12) de 585,63 µ e 585,7 µ, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: A espessura central da córnea é semelhante em olhos com catarata congênita e olhos fácicos, sendo mais espessa após a cirurgia de catarata com ou sem implante de lente intraocular.


PURPOSE: To evaluate central corneal thickness (CCT) in phakic children (controls) and in those with cataracts, pseudophakia and aphakia. Study prospective, observational METHODS: Central corneal thickness was measured in 94 eyes of 47 children. Subjects with Down Syndrome, aniridia, Marfan Syndrome, glaucoma, anterior segment abnormalities or intraocular pressure over 30 mmHg were excluded. Groups were compared for controls and for eyes with pediatric cataracts, pseudophakia and aphakia. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were male and eighteen female and the mean age was 5. 5 years (range, 1 month to 15 years). Of the 94 eyes, 52 were part of the control group and the CCT average was 533. 6 µm. The average measurement of the CCT for all patients with cataract was 532. 3 µm (n = 27). The average CCT aphakia the group was 585. 63 µm (n = 8) and pseudophakic was 585. 7 µm (n = 12). CONCLUSION: In the absence of factors known to affect CCT (Down syndrome, aniridia, and Marfan syndrome), CCT is similar in eyes with pediatric cataracts and normal controls and increases after cataracts surgery.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Realizou-se um estudo em estudantes da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC afim de analisar e relacionar a freqüência de usuários de correção óptica, o tipo de vícios de refração, o número de pessoas submetidas à cirurgia refrativa e o conhecimento e interesse por essa operação. Métodos: realizou-se um levantamento entre estudantes de medicina da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, no período de 19 a 21 de junho de 2000. Foi utilizado um questionário auto-aplicável como instrumento de coleta de dados. Resultados: foi relatado que 62,7 por cento dos estudantes usavam correção óptica, sendo que 53,3 por cento desses apresentavam, como erro de refração, miopia simples ou associada ao astigmatismo. 92,8 por cento do total dos entrevistados já tinham ouvido falar em cirurgia refrativa, contendo apenas 34,2 por cento conhecedores dessa técnica cirúrgica e 17,6 por cento conhecedores dos riscos e complicações pós-operatórios. Entre os 200 estudantes amétropes, 50,5 por cento gostariam de ser submetidos à operação, sendo que 69,0 por cento deles esperavam, através da cirurgia, a cura definitiva. Foi coletado, também, que 51,7 por cento dos entrevistados tiveram a última consulta oftalmológica há menos de 1 ano; 32,0 por cento entre 1 e 3 anos e 15,7 por cento há mais de três anos. Apenas 5 estudantes já tinham sido submetidos à cirurgia refrativa. Conclusão: A maioria dos estudantes de Medicina (62,7 por cento) é portador de vício de refração corrigido, sendo os mais freqüentes a miopia simples e a miopia associada a astigmatismo. Há pouco conhecimento e falsa expectativa em relação à cirurgia, sendo que apenas 34,2 por cento entrevistados conhecem o procedimento cirúrgico, 17,6 por cento sabem dos riscos e das complicações e 69,0 por cento esperam cura total. Diante das condições desse estudo, foi constatado que apesar de muitos se interessarem pela cirurgia refrativa, poucos se submeteram a ela, devido, principalmente, em ordem decrescente, a: contra-indicação médica, falta de oportunidade, falta de conhecimento e problemas financeiros. Os consultórios oftalmológicos são apenas a quarta fonte de informação, precedido, em ordem decrescente, por familiares, amigos e faculdade, o que é evidenciado pelo fato de 81,5 por cento dos entrevistados gostariam de se informar melhor sobre a cirurgia refrativa. Mesmo tendo 83,7 por cento se consultado nos últimos três anos, informações e esclarecimento satisfatório não foram fornecidos.
