Abstract Background Although cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the maxillofacial region allow inspection entire volume maxillary sinus (MS), identifying anatomic variations and abnormalities in image volume, this is frequently neglected by oral radiologists when interpreting areas at a distance from dentoalveolar region, such as full anatomical aspect MS. The aim study was to investigate asymptomatic patients using CBCT. Methods 1113 CBCT were evaluated two examiners...
Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that several dimensions of self-perceived psychosocial impacts dental esthetics are not associated with grades malocclusion, oral health–related quality-of-life measures, and body self-image in adolescents. Materials Methods: This cross-sectional study included a convenience sample 301 adolescents (mean age 16.1 ± 1.8 years, 58.1% female subjects). Demographic data were collected conditions assessed. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for...
Background and Objective Oral mucositis (OM) is considered a painful debilitating side effect in patients receiving head neck cancer treatment. Low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) proved to be effective prevent treat chemoradiotherapy‐induced OM. The aim of this study was evaluate the LLLT severity OM with on release salivary inflammatory mediators. Clinical (score severity) biochemical parameters (concentration mediators, growth factors, enzymes saliva) were used. Materials Methods Thirty...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of two methods used assess masticatory performance and attempt correlate them achieve interchangeability between methods. Methods Twelve healthy dentate volunteers (men = 6, women 6; mean age 28.3 ± 4.1) with no known dental or medical pathologies were requested participate in this study. Each participant completed three assessments, including two‐colour mixing‐ability tests using chewing‐gums (CG: gum#1 gum#2) gummy‐jelly (GJ)...
BACKGROUND: Maxillofacial injuries occur in a significant number of trauma patients. Epidemiological assessments are essential to reaffirm patterns, identify new trends and develop clinical research priorities for effective treatment prevention these injuries. OBJECTIVE: The aim this study was the epidemiological profile risk factors associated with maxillofacial treated at referral emergency hospital Public Health System State Capital Goiás, Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional...
Abstract Background Most of the common risk factors for severe outcomes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) are correlated with poor oral health, tooth loss, and periodontitis. This has pointed to a possible relationship between systemic health in COVID‐19 patients. Hence, this study aimed assess dental periodontal status hospitalized patients their associations incidence adverse outcomes. Methods We included 128 hospital aged 20 97 years diagnoses prospective observational study. Dental was...
Objective: This study evaluated the reliability of a face scanner in measuring vertical dimension occlusion (VDO).Methods: Fully dentate volunteers (n=20; mean-age=30.0±10.7 years) were recruited.Clinical facial measurements obtained using digital caliper and (Class 1 LASER, Obiscanner, Fifthingenium, Italy).The scans imported into mesh-processing software, distances measured digitally.Measurements for each participant with jaws positioned maximal intercuspation (MI) increased 2, 4, 6...
Abstract Objective This prospective study is part of a randomised clinical trial and reports the changes in masticatory performance (MP) bite force, explores their influential factors, 1 year after provision mandibular overdentures retained by four titanium–zirconium mini implants. Methods Edentulous patients received conventional complete dentures, followed placement implants (Straumann® Mini Implant System) anterior mandible converting prosthesis into overdenture. Treatment protocols were...
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors apical periodontitis in endodontically treated teeth a selected population Brazilian adults. A total 1,372 periapical radiographs were analyzed based on quality root filling, status coronal restoration presence posts associated with (AP). Data statistically using odds ratio, confidence intervals chi-square test. AP adequate endodontic treatment low (16.5%). This percentage dropped 12.1% cases filling restoration. Teeth poor...
A retrospective survey was designed to identify diagnostic subgroups and clinical factors associated with odontogenic pain discomfort in dental urgency patients. consecutive sample of 1,765 patients seeking treatment for at the Urgency Service Dental School Federal University Goiás, Brazil, selected. Inclusion criteria were pulpal or periapical that occurred before (minimum 6 months after last appointment), exclusion teeth developmental anomalies missing information incomplete records....
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the effect low level laser therapy on reducing occurrence and severity oral complications in patients with head neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Sixty outpatients from a hospital receiving radiotherapy were selected randomly assigned into two groups. group irradiated an InGaAlP control received sham laser. assessment (oral mucositis, pain) carried out one week after starting radiotherapy, at fifteenth thirtieth sessions All both groups showed...
CD8+ and natural killer (NK) cells have been considered the most effective in combat of cancer, contributing to better prognosis longer survival.The aim this study was evaluate population NK cells, by immunohistochemistry, samples oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) lip (LSCC), leukoplakia, actinic cheilitis, healthy mucosa (control). The relationship with survival data, lymph node metastasis, tumor size, proliferative index also evaluated.The number peritumoral intratumoral...
The use of seven domains for the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-EDENT was not supported its Brazilian version, making data interpretation in clinical settings difficult. Thus, aim this study to assess patients' responses translated OHIP-EDENT a group edentulous subjects and develop factor scales application future studies. Data from 103 conventional implant-retained complete denture wearers (36 men, mean age 69.1 +/- 10.3 years) were assessed using version OHIP-EDENT. health-related...
Objective: To identify the characteristics of bone tissue microarchitecture by microCT at dental implant sites, describing them in terms clinical parameters. Material and methods: Forty-six sites maxilla mandible from 32 volunteers were evaluated conventional radiographs CT scans. During installation each implant, biopsies removed using a trephine bur first drilling to prepare socket implant. Each sample was dimensional parameters measured. Results: Factor analysis summarized microparameters...
Summary The aim of this study was to test the reliability a method measure masticatory performance complete denture wearers employing colour‐mixing ability and assessment by visual electronic colourimetric analysis. A sample 75 subjects selected from patients who received new conventional dentures. Masticatory tests were performed using two‐colour chewing gum that masticated for 5, 10, 20, 30 50 cycles, in random order. mixing level two colours chewed assessed visually independent raters...
Abstract Objective This prospective clinical trial aimed to assess and patient‐reported outcomes of the single‐implant mandibular overdenture treatment ( SIMO ) after a 2‐year follow‐up period. Materials methods An external hexagon implant was inserted in midline 45 complete denture wearers. Participants had mean age 63.4 SD = 8.3), 75.6% were female. Based on primary stability implant, immediate loading performed 38 patients (84.4%). O'ring/ball attachments used for retention. Outcome...
