To determine the incidence of potentially malignant oral lesions, and evaluate correlate their clinical pathological aspects.The sample consisted cases clinically diagnosed as leukoplakia, erythroplakia, erythroleukoplakia, actinic cheilitis, lichen planus treated at a diagnostic center, between May 2012 July 2013. Statistical tests were conducted adopting significance level 5% (p≤0.05).Out 340 patients, 106 (31.2%) had lesions; 61 these (17.9%) submitted to biopsy. Actinic cheilitis was...
Abstract Background To evaluate the clinical course and interventions required during two years of follow-up dental surfaces deciduous molars diagnosed, consequently treated, by different strategies: diagnosis made examination alone or associated with radiographs. Methods This is a secondary analysis two-arm randomized trial parallel groups related to diagnostic strategy for caries detection in preschool children. 216 children (3–6 old) were followed-up years. All diagnosed visual inspection...
This is a delayed-type cross-sectional prospective accuracy study nested in randomized clinical trial. The aim was to investigate the diagnostic of two visual criteria for caries lesions detection around restorations primary teeth: International Dental Federation (FDI) criteria, considering adaptation, staining, and presence caries, Caries Associated with Restorations Sealants (CARS) system. For this, one examiner made diagnosis subsequent treatment decision using assessment 163 children...
The effects of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) on the tooth development infected children are not well known. aim this study was to analyze association CZS with dental alterations in microcephaly seen at a referral hospital Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. chronology and sequence eruption presence were evaluated by single calibrated examiner (kappa > 0.80) 62 aged 7 35 months associated other infections. Medical data mother child collected from records parents responded socioeconomic...
Objective: To assess children's self-reported distress during dental procedures and investigate risk factors. Material Methods: A total of 163 children (3–10 years old) were included from a clinical trial on diagnostic strategies for evaluating restorations in primary teeth. Treatment plans elaborated based the examination performed at baseline study. Dentists 742 procedures, an external evaluator collected through Wong Backer Facial Scale (WBFS) dentists' opinions about behavior treatment....
Abstract Background Different approaches have been used in the clinical routine to assess restorations and determine need for further reinterventions. In general, dentists based their decision different parameters, including aesthetical ones, leading a more interventionist approach. Indeed, using strategy (the World Dental Federation - FDI), replacements tend be indicated than minimally invasive one (based on Caries Around Restorations Sealants -CARS). Since resources related long-term...
