RESUMO
Objective: To verify the dental age of individuals with Angle Class II, division 2 malocclusion. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 200 panoramic radiographs of schoolchildren from the city of Fortaleza in the state of Ceará, in the northeast of Brazil. These radiographs were divided into two groups (N=100): a Control group comprising radiographs of patients with normal occlusion and a CIID2 group comprising radiographs of patients with an Angle Class II, division 2 malocclusion. The Demirjian method was used to identify dental age. All the radiographs were evaluated by a sole duly trained and calibrated technician. The Kappa coefficient for inter-annotator agreement was 0.98 based on the criteria of eruption stage of each tooth. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-squared test, Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney test, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: There was a significant statistical difference between the dental ages of the groups tested. The CIID2 group had a lower dental age than the control group, signifying late eruption in patients with an Angle Class II, division 2 malocclusion. Conclusion: Patients with an Angle Class II, division 2 malocclusion had a lower dental age than patients with normal occlusion, suggesting that orthodontic treatment should be delayed. The first molars, second pre-molars and canines suffered late eruption.

This study's aims was to evaluate the stress distribution in a mandibular implant-supported prosthesis and peri-implant bone considering implant quantity, diameter and position using linear 3-D finite element analysis. Models of an anterior jaw comprised 4 groups according to implant quantity, diameter, and position: control group C, 5 regular implants; R, 3 regular implants; W, 3 wide implants; and DTR, 3 regular implants with the distal ones tilted 30º distally. The cantilever was loaded with an axial load of 50 N. Data was evaluated using von Mises stress on implants and maximum principal stress and microstrain on the bone. The W group showed the lowest value of maximum principal stress in peri-implant bone of the loaded side (4.64 MPa) when compared to C (5.27 MPa), DTR (5.94 MPa), and R (11.12 MPa). Lower stress values in the loaded implants were observed in the experimental groups when compared to the C group. However, the unloaded implants presented opposite results. All the screws of the W group presented lower stress values when compared to the C group. However, the R and DTR groups presented an increase in stress values with the exception of the loaded screw. A reduction in the number of implants associated with wider implants reduced the stress in the bone and prosthetic components.

AIM: To evaluate the microleakage at the implant-abutment (I-A) interface of Morse tapered implants inoculated with different volumes of bacterial suspension. METHODS: Morse tapered I-A sets were selected and divided in two groups depending on the type of abutment: passing screw (PS) and solid (S), and then subdivided into four subgroups (n=6) according to the suspension volume: PS1: 0.1 µL; PS3: 0.3 µL; PS5: 0.5 µL; PS7: 0.7 µL; S1: 0.1 µL; S3: 0.>3 µL; S5: 0.5 µL and S7: 0.7 µL. A control test was performed to verify the presence of external contamination during the inoculation and the implants were incubated for microbiological analysis. The microleakage was evaluated every 24 h for 7 days by the clarity of solution. After this period, the implants were disassembled for confirmation of bacterial viability. RESULTS: All the specimens with 0.7 µL and one sample of S5 presented turbidity in the control test indicating external contamination, and were excluded from the study. After 7 days of observation, none of the specimens presented positive results for microleakage and the bacterial viability was confirmed in all specimens. The 0.1 µL and 0.3 µL volumes did not present bacterial microleakage, meaning that these volumes may be inadequate for analysis. CONCLUSIONS: None of the sets evaluated showed bacterial microleakage at the I-A interface and the volume of 0.7 µL exceeded the internal capacity of the implants...

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the microleakage at the implant/abutment interface of external hexagon (eH) implants and abutments with different amounts of bacteria and tightening torques. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A bacterial suspension was prepared to inoculate the implants. The first phase of this study used nine EH implants and abutments that were divided into three groups with different amounts of bacterial suspension (n=3): V0.5: 0.5 µL; V1.0: 1.0 µL e V1.5: 1.5 µL, and tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. The second phase of this experiment used 27 assemblies that were similar to those used in the first phase. These samples were inoculated with 0.5 µL of bacterial suspension and divided into three groups (n=9). T10: 10 Ncm; T20: 20 Ncm and T32: 32 Ncm. The samples were evaluated according to the turbidity of the broth every 24 hours for 14 days, and the bacteria viability was tested after that period. The statistical evaluation was conducted by Kruskal-Wallis testing (p<.05). RESULTS: During the first phase, groups V1.0 and V1.5 was presented with bacterial contamination in all samples after 24 h. During the second phase, two samples from group T10 and one from T20 presented positive results for bacterial contamination. Different amounts of bacterial solution led to overflow and contamination during the first 24 h of the experiment. The tightening torques did not statistically affect the microleakage in the assemblies. However, the group that was tightened to 32 Ncm torque did not show any bacterial contamination. CONCLUSION: After 14 days of experimentation, the bacteria were proven to remain viable inside the implant internal cavity.

PURPOSE: Edentulism is a common condition among the elderly population. However, it is difficult for elderly subjects who are institutionalized, hospitalized, or bedridden to visit dental offices for the repair or replacement of broken dentures. This paper describes a fast technique with minimum clinical sessions to fabricate a new maxillary denture. CASE DESCRIPTION: An institutionalized 78-year-old man with an extremely damage broken maxillary denture complained about repairing his denture. With the impossibility of repairing, the technique described was proposed so as to offer a treatment that would maximize the comfort of the patient. The maxilla-mandibular relationship was done at the first clinical session, after fabricating the maxillary resin baseplate in mouth, by fixing the old complete mandibular denture with the maxillary wax plane. At the second clinical session, the esthetics and function of artificial teeth was checked and final impression was made to the denture installation at next session. CONCLUSION: The reduced number of clinical sessions is a convenient option for clinicians to provide a more comfortable treatment for institutionalized or bedridden patients. This technique is also particularly useful when a replacement denture is urgently required, allowing its installation within few hours.
OBJETIVO: O edentulismo é uma condição comum dentre a população idosa. Entretanto, quando estes indivíduos encontram-se institucionalizados, hospitalizados ou acamados, consultar um cirurgião-dentista para reparo ou substituição de próteses totais pode ser uma situação difícil. Neste caso, é relatada uma técnica mais rápida para confecção de uma prótese total superior em um número mínimo de sessões clínicas. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Indivíduo institucionalizado de 78 anos de idade, apresentando uma prótese extremamente danificada após deixá-la cair sobre o chão, queixava de necessidade de reparo na mesma. Na impossibilidade de reparo, foi proposta esta técnica descrita para oferecer um tratamento com maior conforto para o paciente. O relacionamento maxilo-mandibular foi feito na primeira sessão clínica, após confeccionar a base de prova diretamente em boca, fixando a própria prótese inferior do paciente com o plano de cera. Na segunda sessão clínica, a prova estética e funcional é feita e a moldagem final realizada para instalação da prótese na sessão seguinte. CONCLUSÃO: O número reduzido de sessões clínicas é uma opção conveniente para os clínicos e gera um tratamento mais confortável para indivíduos institucionalizados ou acamados. Esta técnica também pode ser útil para substituição de prótese total em caráter de urgência, onde a prótese pode ser instalada no mesmo dia ou no dia seguinte.

This study evaluated the loss of the torque applied after use of new screws and after successive tightening. Four infrastructures (IE), using UCLA castable abutment type, were cast in cobalt-chromium alloy and new abutment screws (G1) were used in a first moment. Subsequently, the same abutment screws were used a second time (G2) and more than two times (G3). The values of the torques applied and detorques were measured with a digital torque wrench to obtain the values of initial tightening loss ( percent). Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (?=0.05). Significant differences were observed between the G1 (50.71 percent ± 11.36) and G2 (24.01 percent ± 3.33) (p=0.000) and between G1 (50.71 percent ± 11.36) and G3 (25.60 percent ± 4.64) (p=0.000). There was no significant difference between G2 and G3 (p=0.774). Within the limitations of the study, it may be concluded that the percentage of the initial torque loss is lower when screws that already suffered the application of an initial torque were used, remaining stable after application of successive torques.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a perda do torque inicial, quando usados novos parafusos de pilares e após sucessivos apertos. Quatro infra-estruturas (IE), utilizando pilares calcináveis tipo UCLA, foram fundidas em liga de cobalto-cromo, onde novos parafusos de pilares foram utilizados (G1) em um primeiro momento. Posteriormente os mesmos parafusos de pilares foram utilizados em um segundo momento (G2), e depois por mais duas vezes (G3). Os valores de torque e detorque aplicados foram mensurados a partir de um torquímetro digital para obtenção dos valores de perda do torque inicial ( por cento). Os dados foram coletados e submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos G1 (50,71 por cento ± 11,36) and G2 (24,01 por cento ± 3,33) (p=0,000) and the groups G1 (50,71 por cento ± 11,36) and G3 (25,60 por cento ± 4,64) (p=0,000). Os maiores valores foram encontrados para o grupo G1. Não houve diferença estaticamente significante entre os grupos G2 e G3 (p=0,774). Dentro das limitações deste estudo, pôde-se observar que a porcentagem de perda de torque inicial foi menor quando os parafusos já haviam sofrido a aplicação do primeiro torque, se mantendo estáveis após os demais torques.
