Traditional methods to measure oral health based on clinical standards are limited because they do not consider psychosocial and functional aspects of health. It has been recommended that these measures need be supplemented by data obtained from patients regarding their individual perceptions health-related quality life (OHRQoL). Happiness is a multidimensional construct comprising both emotional cognitive domains, defined as "the degree which an judges the overall his or her whole...

Guedes-Pinto paste is the filling material most employed in Brazil for endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth; however, Rifocort® ointment has been removed. Thus, aim this study was to investigate antimicrobial potential pastes, by proposing three new pharmacological associations replace with drugs already established power: Nebacetin® ointment, 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate gel, and Maxitrol® ointment. A composed Iodoform, Camphorated Paramonochlorophenol (CPC) as gold standard (G1). The...

Abstract Background A key factor for the success and longevity of endodontic treatment is sealing cavity after restorative treatment. Aim The aim this randomised clinical trial was to evaluate 1‐year survival in primary molars restored with stainless steel crowns (SSCs) bulk fill composite resin (BF). As a secondary outcome, acceptance both children parents evaluated. Design Ninety‐one 3‐ 8‐year‐old at least one molar requiring were selected. Participants randomized SSC or BF evaluated 1, 3,...

This study assessed the influence of socioeconomic and clinical factors, as well parent's perception child's oral health on toothbrushing frequency 0-5-year-old children. The was carried out in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil, during National Children's Vaccination Day, 478 children aged 0-5 years were included. Data collected by examinations a structured questionnaire, conducted 15 calibrated examiners 30 supports. A questionnaire filled parents with information about several indicators, tooth...

In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical properties (PCP; radiopacity, flow, pH, and solubility) quality of root canal filling provided by an experimental industrialized paste (EP), with same active ingredients as those Guedes Pinto paste, compared Vitapex® paste. PCP were analyzed according to ANSI/ADA laboratory testing methods for endodontic sealing materials. To analyze capacity, 120 artificial primary teeth (60 maxillary incisors [MIs] 60 mandibulary molars [MMs]) endodontically...

The aim of this non-inferiority randomized clinical trial was to compare the efficacy an iodoform-based paste (Guedes-Pinto -(GP)) as a filling material in pulpectomies primary teeth, and standard composed by calcium hydroxide iodoform (CaOH/Iodof paste; Vitapex® ).A total 104 teeth from 61 children (3-8 years old) were randomly allocated two groups according materials. Children followed up for 24 months. endpoint treatment success rate evaluated through radiographic examinations at...

Due to the scarcity of exfoliated/extracted human primary teeth with complete roots, artificial were developed as an alternative be used for educational and laboratory research purposes. This study aimed assess feasibility using conducting through experiment related canal length determination, comparing natural teeth. Thirty anterior 21 posterior teeth, same number selected. After preparing access cavity, root was determined by two examiners twice three different methods: radiography...

Introduction: Cancer is considered a major public health problem worldwide and may have an important impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Thus, the present study aimed to assess OHRQoL in Brazilian patients aged 3 21 years undergoing cancer treatment. Materials Methods: In total, 121 receiving treatment 363 healthy individuals (control group) were evaluated. was assessed using age-specific questionnaire, that is, versions Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS),...

Abstract Background Although reciprocating instrumentation has been extensively studied for permanent teeth, stronger evidence its use in primary teeth is lacking. Aim The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the efficacy endodontic treatment molars using (RECIP) and manual (MAN) techniques after 24 months. Design Primary with indication were randomly divided into two groups: MAN RECIP. Treatments performed, root canals filled calcium hydroxide iodoform paste. Teeth later...

Introducción: Labio y paladar fisurado es una malformación congénita en la región del labio y/o paladar, pudiendo ser uni o bilateral, causada por falta de cierre dichas estructuras, su gravedad puede variar afectar los hábitos calidad vida relación con salud oral. Objetivo: El objetivo este estudio evaluar relacionada oral las características socio-conductuales pacientes fisurados menores 7 años. Materiales Métodos: Después aprobación comité ética, el se llevó a cabo un centro atención...

A instrumentação mecanizada em dentes permanentes já é uma prática consolidada e muito utilizada na odontologia atual. Diversos estudos apresentam vantagens consideráveis, quando comparada com a técnica de manual, entre elas pode-se considerar redução tempo cirúrgico o menor desconforto ao paciente durante após procedimento. Apesar do custo ser consideravelmente maior comparado tratamento realizado este justificável. Entretanto, endodontia para tratamentos endodônticos odontopediatria ainda...

OBJETIVO:Traçar o perfil dos pacientes atendidos na Clínica de Bebês da UFSM. 
 MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: A partir um senso realizado entre março e julho 2012, os dados foram retirados prontuários clínicos socioeconômicos, totalizando uma amostra 51 bebês (0 a 47 meses), residentes em Santa Maria-RSe região central do estado. estatística empregada foi descritiva.
 RESULTADOS: Os envolvidos pesquisa são sua maioria meninos raça branca, estão sob responsabilidade pais moram com mesmos,...
