RESUMO
OBJECT: To identify the perception of barriers to the comprehensive management of cleft lip and palate (CLP) by parents/caregivers of Colombian children with this condition. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION: Fifty parents/caregivers of children with CLP under 12 years attending a center specialized in the management of craniofacial congenital conditions in Bogota, Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study consisted of 2 phases: a quantitative phase (descriptive cross-sectional) and a qualitative phase (focus group [FG]). Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used to analyze the association variables. The barriers and alternative ways to overcome barriers were analyzed in the FG. RESULTS: Comprehensive management was mostly defined as access to multiple treatments (54%), and this concept was expanded in the FG toward understanding CLP at all levels. Monoparental families spend their income on treatments (29%) than nuclear families (0%) (P = .001). All parents with high education levels were familiar with healthcare centers specialized in CLP as opposed to 66.7% of parents with basic primary education (P < .05). Regarding the timeliness of appointments, 12.2% of parents earning between 1 and 2 minimum wages reported some kind of difficulty, whereas those earning less than one minimum wage reported difficulties in 66.7% of cases (P = .046). CONCLUSIONS: All participants reported barriers, which increased or decreased depending on their socioeconomic status. The FG allowed the discussion of alternatives to overcome barriers, such as structural, solidarity, and self-management actions.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the teaching practical guidelines in pulp therapy for primary teeth in Colombian dental schools, based on Primosch et al. survey (1997). METHODS: A 27-question survey was sent to 31 dental schools. A total of 68 surveys were obtained for analysis of the results, in which pediatric dentists answered 48 surveys, 11 surveys by general practitioners, and 9 were answered but were not identified in any of these groups. RESULTS: Indirect pulp treatment (IPT) is taught by pediatric dentists (83%) and general practitioners (90%). Calcium hydroxide and glass ionomer were the preferred materials in this treatment. Pulpotomy is the most commonly procedure used. There was no different percentage in the use of medicaments: cresatin, glutaraldehyde, calcium hydroxide, formocresol. Pulpectomy is taught by general practitioners (73%) and pediatric dentists (96%). The preferred filler material, used by general practitioners (73%) and pediatric dentists (94%), was zinc oxide and eugenol. CONCLUSIONS: There is a discrepancy in the choice of treatment and medications for pulp therapy primary teeth between general practitioners and pediatric dentists. The recommendations given in American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines 2012 for pulp therapy in primary and young permanent teeth are being followed in the majority instances.

Introducción: La Electromiografía-EMG de superficie evalúa la función muscular. Es poco utilizada como examen de rutina para valorar los músculos periorales y masticatorios, debido a que algunos consideran que puede ser molesto para el paciente pediátrico. Objetivo: Describir la percepción de dolor y el comportamiento en niños colombianos con y sin labio y paladar fisurado durante el examen de electromiografía de superficie en músculos periorales y masticatorios. Métodos: Previa aprobación del comité de ética (acta-009 2013p) y firma de consentimiento y asentimiento informado. Se realizó el examen en 69 niños entre 5-15 años: 45 con labio y paladar hendido (23-fisura unilateral, 22-fisura bilateral) y 24 sin hendidura. Se aplicaron las escalas de Wong Baker (Dolor) y Frankl (comportamiento). Resultados: 66 niños (95,65%) presentaron comportamiento Tipo 4 y 3 niños (4,35%) mostraron comportamiento Tipo 3 al inicio del examen. Al final del procedimiento, el 100% presentó comportamiento tipo 4. La percepción del dolor con la escala Wong Baker mostro ningún dolor en 62 niños (89,86%) y solo un poco de dolor en 7 (10,14%). Conclusiones: Los menores no manifiestan cambios importantes en su comportamiento por dolor o molestias durante el procedimiento de electromiografía de superficie.
The Surface electromyography-EMG evaluates muscular function. It is seldom used as a routine examination to assess perioral and masticatory muscles as it is considered to cause the pediatric patient discomfort. Objective: Describe the perception of pain and behavior displayed by Colombian children with and without cleft lip and palate during the surface electromyography test performed on perioral and masticatory muscles. Methods: Prior approval by the ethics committee (act-009-2013p) and an informed consent and assent signature were obtained. The exam were performed on 69 children between 5 and 15 years; 45 with cleft lip and palate (23 with unilateral cleft, 22 with bilateral cleft) and 24 children without cleft. The Wong Baker (pain) and Frankl (behavior) scales were used. Results: At the beginning of the exam, 66 children (95.66 %) displayed type 4 behavior and 3 children (4.35 %) displayed type 3 behavior. At the end of the procedure, 100 % of the children displayed type 4 behavior. When using the Wong Baker scale, the perception of the pain showed that 62 patients (89.86 %) felt no pain and 7 patients (10.14 %) felt just a little pain. Conclusions: Children do not show significant changes in their behavior - or pain and discomfort during the procedure of surface electromyography.
RESUMO
El propósito de este estudio es evaluar la composición química de tres cementos: Portland tipo I (CEMEX Samper , Cundinamarca, Colombia), Portland tipo I (CEMEX-Diamante, Ibagué, Colombia) y ProRoot MTA (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Suiza). Se utilizó una muestra probabilística de 17 pastillas para cada tipo de cemento. El análisis se llevó a cabo con la microsonda EDAX (Mahwah, NJ, USA) del microscopio de barrido electrónico SEM FEI (Quanta 200, Hillsboro, Oregon USA), bajo condiciones estandarizadas de lectura de las muestras. Se hicieron cuatro lecturas por muestra, para un subtotal de 68 lecturas por cada tipo de cemento y un total de 208 lecturas. Los resultados se obtuvieron en porcentaje de peso sólido por elemento. Los datos generales fueron analizados por las pruebas ANOVA, comparaciones múltiples de Tukey y t de Student. Se observaron tres elementos comunes entre los tres cementos: Ca, Si y Al, pero se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas de los elementos comunes entre el cemento ProRoot MTA y los cementos Portland I. El Bi solo se encontró en el ProRoot MTA y el S solo se encontró en los cementos Portland tipo I. Se concluye que la composición de los tres cementos es similar. Sin embargo, es necesario evaluar el impacto que puede tener, tanto la presencia de S en los cementos Portland I, como la diferencia de concentraciones de los elementos que fueron comunes en los tres cementos en cuanto a biocompatibilidad y efectividad clínica.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the chemical composition of three cements: Portland Type I (CEMEXSamper , Cundinamarca, Colombia), Portland Type I (CEMEX-Diamante, Ibague, Colombia) and Pro Root MTA (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). A probabilistic sample of 17 tablets for each type of cement was used. The analysis was carried out with energy dispersive analysis with x-rays (EDAX) (Mahwah, NJ, USA) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) FEI (Quanta 200, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA) under standard sample reading conditions. Four readings per sample were carried out for a total of 68 readings per cement, and a grand total of 208 readings. The results were obtained as a percentage of solid weight per element. General data was analyzed with the ANOVA test, and Tukey and t of Student multiple comparison tests. Three common elements were observed between the three cements: Ca, Si, and Al, but there were significant statistical differences between the common elements of the ProRoot MTA and the Portland cements I. The Bi was found only in the ProRoot MTA, and the S only in the Portland type I cements. It can be concluded then that the composition of the three cements is similar; however, it is necessary to evaluate the impact that the presence of S in the Portland I cements as well as the difference in concentrations of the three common elements may have in the biocompatibility and clinical effectiveness.

OBJETIVO: Esta investigação tem por objetivo coletar dados sobre rigidez muscular, as propriedades mecânicas e contráteis dos músculos utilizando a TMG em jogadores de vôlei de praia de alto nível, assim como demonstrar a utilidade deste método para a avaliação dos músculos responsáveis pela flexão e extensão do joelho. MÉTODOS: A investigação foi conduzida com um grupo de 24 jogadores de vôlei de praia os quais participaram do Torneio Europeu Nestea - Master Espanhol realizado nas Ilhas Grâ-Canárias em maio de 2009. O método de estudo utilizado foi comparação de casos individuais de vários atletas com a finalidade de verificar a utilidade deste método em esportes. Os músculos analisados foram: vasto lateral (VL), vasto medial (ML), reto femoral (RF) e bíceps femoral (BF). RESULTADOS: As informações coletadas nos certificam sobre o alto grau de utilidade deste método para avaliação da rigidez muscular e equilíbrio entre estruturas musculares de atletas. Contudo, a validade e reconstrução dos resultados estão condicionadas a um severo protocolo de avaliação. Além disso, os seguintes critérios devem ser considerados: individualidade (o perfil do atleta) e especificações (características do esporte). CONCLUSÕES: A aplicação da TMG em jogadores de alto nível revela a existência de importantes diferenças dependendo de suas funções em jogo (defesa, bloqueio ou alternância entre ambas as posições), as ações técnicas, a posição em quadra (direita-esquerda) e o histórico de lesões médicas.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation is to obtain information about muscle stiffness, the mechanic and contractile properties of the muscles using the TMG with high level beach volleyball players as well as to demonstrate the usefulness of this method to evaluate the muscles in charge of the knee flexion and extension. METHODS: The investigation was carried out with a group of 24 beach volleyball players who took part in the Nestea European Championship Tour - Spanish Master held in the Gran Canaria, May 2009. The method of study used was a comparison of the individual cases of various athletes to ascertain the usefulness of this method in sports. The muscles which were analyzed are: vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (ML), rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF). RESULTS: Thus, with the information collected we can state the high level of usefulness of this method for the evaluation of muscle stiffness and balance between muscle structures of athletes. However, the validity and reconstruction of the results are conditioned to a strict protocol of evaluation. Moreover, the following criteria should be considered: individuality (the athlete's profile) and specifications (sport characteristics). CONCLUSIONS: The application of the TMG to high level players reveals the existence of important differences depending on their different roles in the game (defence, blocker or alternating both roles), the technical actions, the position on court (right-left) and the medical history of injuries.
RESUMO
Objetivo: comparar la adaptación marginal In Vitro de incrustaciones MOD con terminación en esmalte fabricadas con IPS e.max CAD (Computer Asisted Desing) y fabricadas en oro tipo III. Materiales y métodos: En este estudio experimental exploratorio se uso una muestra no probabilística de 15 premolares sanos por cada uno de los dos grupos; IPS e.max CAD y oro tipo III.A todos los premolares se les realizó cavidades MOD estandarizadas para los 2 grupos. Los dientes preparados fueron asignados aleatoriamente a cada grupo. Las incrustaciones del grupo IPS e.max CAD fueron elaboradas con el sistema CEREC 3 y las incrustaciones en oro fueron elaboradas por los investigadores. Se tomaron estereo microfotografías de todas las muestras sobre papel milimetrado, y las imágenes fueron analizadas mediante el programa ImageTool. Se tomaron tres medidas adaptación marginal en el área proximal mesial o distal de cada muestra, que fueron promediadas y reportadas en micras. Los datos fueron analizados mediante ANOVA y Test de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: el 98% del total de las incrustaciones en oro y el 47% del total de las incrustaciones de IPS e.max CAD presentaron una adaptación marginal < a 120 micras. El promedio de desadaptación marginal del grupo IPS e.max CAD fue 122.8 μ + 44.1, mientras que para el grupo oro fue de 75.3 μ+42,6 encontrándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los dos. Conclusiones: El oro reporta mejor adaptación marginal en restauraciones inlays MOD que los sistemas maquinados como el sistema IPS e.max CAD.
Objective: To compare In Vitro, the marginal adaptation of MOD fillings with an enamel finish manufactured with IPS e.max CAD (Computer Assisted Design) and those manufactured with gold type III. Materials and methods: In this exploratory experimental study, a non-probabilistic sample of 15 healthy premolars for each of the two groups (IPS e.max CAD and gold type III) was used. Standardized MOD cavities were made in all the premolars for both groups. The prepared teeth were randomly assigned to each group. The IPS e.max CAD fillings were made using the CEREC 3 system and the gold fillings were made by the researchers. Stereo microphotographs of all the samples were taken on millimeter paper and the images were analyzed using the Image Tool software. Three marginal adaptation measurements in the mesial proximal or distal area were taken for every sample; they were averaged and reported in microns. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: 98% of all the gold fillings and 47% of all the IPS e.max CAD fillings showed a marginal adaptation of less than or equal to 120 microns. The marginal unfitness average for the IPD e.max CAD group was 122.8 + 44.1 μm, and for the gold fillings group it was 75.3 + 42.6 μm. There was a statistically significant differences between the groups. Conclusions: Gold reports a better marginal adaptation for inlay MOD fillings than manufactured systems like IPS e.max CAD system.

Rhizoctonia solani is a soil borne phytopathogen associated with reduced plant vigor and tuber production in potato crops. There is a huge interest to search alternatives of biological control management of this disease, because the potato crops in Colombia are the highest consumers of chemical pesticides in Colombia. In order to obtain a fluorescent Pseudomonas strain with the capacity to reduce the disease symptoms produced by R. solani, determination and isolation of the predominant fluorescent Pseudomonas in several potato crops of the main Colombian producing region was done in a previous study. Six different P. fluorescens strains with none, moderate and high fungal growth inhibition capacity in vitro, were used in this study. Despite of the differences found in the dynamics of colonization and colonization capacity, all evaluated strains induced S. phureja growth and reduced disease symptoms produced by R. solani. Our results support the conclusion that association of P. fluorescens strains with S. phureja rhizosphere is a feasible alternative for the management of R. solani symptoms.Rhizoctonia solani es un hongo fitopatógeno del suelo, el cual produce una reducción significativa del vigor de las plantas y de la producción de tubérculos en cultivos de papa. Es de gran interés la búsqueda de alternativas de manejo de esta enfermedad, especialmente desde la perspectiva de control biológico ya que los cultivos de papa son los mayores consumidores de plaguicidas de origen químicos en Colombia. Con el objeto de obtener una cepa del grupo de las Pseudomonas fluorescentes con la capacidad para reducir los síntomas de la enfermedad producidos por R. solani, se realizó en un estudio previo el aislamiento y caracterización de una colección de aislamientos de Pseudomonas fluorescentes provenientes de diferentes cultivos de la región papera más productiva del país. Seis cepas nativas de P. fluorescens con buena, moderada o ninguna capacidad para inhibir...
