ABSTRACT Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) may be defined as a set of clinical scenarios involving the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. Currently, 40 to 75% population has some sign disorder, mainly pain located in muscles mastication pre-auricular region. The present case was diagnosed muscle secondary parafunction, well hyperactivity due surgical displacement left temporal on two occasions, one for placement aneurysm clips other tumor excision...
Abstract Objectives To screen the existing scientific literature and to evaluate reliability of skull joints as biological markers for age estimation when analyzed via computed tomography (CT). Methods The study followed Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was registered in Open Science Framework (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/PCVEF). Eligible studies included observational cross-sectional research that assessed through CT. Data from five databases were...
The aim of this study was to assess the presence, location and, multiplanar distance canalis sinuosus (CS) between incisive foramen and anterior maxillary alveolar ridge using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Therefore, 500 CBCT images obtained from male female patients aged 20 80 years were selected assist in dental treatment. Low-quality tomographic discarded. All captured with i-CATTM Classic tomograph assessed XoranCatTM software. axial sections analyzed at order verify CS presence...
Abstract This study aimed to compare the accuracy of two human identification methods based on selfies. The maxillary teeth five adults were three‐dimensionally acquired via intraoral scanning—being simulated postmortem (PM) records. To simulate antemortem (AM) records, individuals took selfies their smile. For each participant, additional volunteers with similar ages and population affinities requested take selfies, which used as foil AM Then, sets containing scan image, respective selfie,...
Abstract Background Dental age estimation of children may be necessary in the clinical and forensic fields. In former, it contribute to investigation dental development biological maturation. latter, support Court several circumstances, such as adoption unidentified bodies deceased children. This study aimed apply Willems method for from Southeastern Brazil. The second aim was test performance modeled with multiple linear regression (MLR) artificial neural network (ANN). sample consisted...
Very few studies have been performed to evaluate cranio-maxillofacial trauma diagnosed in hospitals children and adolescents. The aim of this study was perform an analysis oral the aforementioned population.A hospital-based retrospective study, which reviewed 1438 patient records, conducted at "Teresina Emergency Hospital", Brazil. Data regarding demographics, day week on occurred, type injury, etiology, anatomic site, time hospital admission, associated comorbidities (or injuries) were...
ABSTRACT The return to dental practice in pandemic times is a new challenge due the generation and dispersion of droplets aerosols that may contain SARS-CoV-2 virus, etiological agent covid-19. In last months some droplet aerosol containment strategies have been circulating on internet, however, until now there no evidence literature prove effectiveness such barriers. Thus, using microbial model with fast handpiece, aim this preliminary study was compare caused by drill (DD) alone or...
We evaluated the anatomical variations of mandibular canal associated with various facial types, age, sex, and side face studied. analyzed 348 hemimandibles in subjects without a history trauma, lesions lower arch, or orthognathic repair surgery posterior mandible. Facial type was determined using VERT index. The path classified as Type 1 (a large, single structure passing very close to root tips); 2 closest base); 3 present region, running through branch, reaching anterior region). Bifid...
Children can exhibit a wide variety of oral pathologies, such as lesions, bone tumors, cysts and cutaneous lesions. Different techniques have been described for the treatment these but all them are invasive. This paper presents series cases that demonstrate clinical efficacy cryosurgery an alternative to invasive surgical treatments most common lesions in children. technique has well tolerated by patients due absence anesthesia, rapid healing minimal bleeding. Cryotherapy many applications...
Abstract Objective To investigate an association between odontogenic infections (OI) and maxillary sinuses pathologic disorder (MSPD). The distance the sinus floor root apex of upper posterior teeth was also assessed. Methods Out 4,402 cone beam computed tomography scans, 230 were selected, 431 evaluated regarding presence OI: bone loss with furcation involvement, periapical endodontic‐periodontal lesions. assessed MSPD, which considered as mucosal thickening, opacification mucous retention...
Background: Oncocytic lesions, particularly frequent in the salivary glands, are characterized by cells with an atypical accumulation of mitochondria. This has been recognized as a compensatory mechanism to intrinsic functional defects these organelles, resulting energy production impairment and increased generation reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ). Peroxiredoxin I (Prx I) is H scavenging protein expression its yeast homolog was reported be influenced...
Bone replacement materials have been widely used to reconstruct atrophic jawbones. Based on previous reports demonstrating the presence of viable cells in bone blocks even after processing by musculoskeletal tissue banks for orthopedic use, aim this study was evaluate from three Brazilian maxillary reconstructions. All samples were processed respective banks, according guidelines National Sanitary Surveillance Agency. Three removed each block subsequent histological and stained using...
