Abstract Purpose: This study evaluated and compared in vitro the microstructure mineral composition of permanent deciduous teeth's dental enamel. Methods: Sound third molars ( n = 12) second primary were selected randomly assigned to following groups, according analysis method performed 4): Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐Ray diffraction (XRD) Energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer (EDS). Qualitative quantitative comparisons enamel done. The microscopic findings analyzed statistically by...
This study evaluated the influence of a cola-type soft drink and soy-based orange juice on surface subsurface erosion primary enamel, as function exposure time. Seventy-five incisors were divided for microhardness test (n=45) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis (n=30). The specimens randomly assigned to 3 groups: 1 - artificial saliva (control); 2 drink; juice. Immersion cycles in beverages undertaken under agitation 5 min, times day, during 60 days. Surface was measured at 7, 15,...
Objective: To evaluate the association of bruxism phenotypes with single nucleotide polymorphisms in FKBP5, DRD2, ANKK1, and COMT.Methods: Clinical oral examination was performed to diagnose 150 children. DNA collected from saliva. Logistic univariate regression, Chi-square, Fisher's exact tests were (p < 0.05).Results: Bruxism associated DRD2 = 0.02). Tooth grinding while awake ANKK1 0.001), tooth asleep additive 0.030) dominant 0.008) model. clenching 0.005) models, whereas 0.001) COMT...
ABSTRACT Objective: To comparatively analyze associations between respiratory problems and adenoidectomy with the different manifestations of bruxism in children. Material Methods: Were analyzed retrospectively on secondary data from database a service specializing temporomandibular disorder (TMD) 279 children, aged 6 to 12 years, October November 2022. Two trained calibrated examiners performed extraction, checked organized it. Descriptive comparative analysis was carried out using...
This study evaluated in vitro the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin-based pit-and-fissure sealant [Fluroshield (F), Dentsply/Caulk] associated with either an etch-and-rinse [Adper Single Bond 2 (SB), 3M/ESPE] or self-etching adhesive system [Clearfil S3 (S3), Kuraray Co., Ltd.] to saliva-contaminated enamel, comparing two curing protocols: individual light and simultaneous both materials. Mesial distal enamel surfaces from 45 sound third molars were randomly assigned 6 groups (n=15),...
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders characterized by marked fragility the skin and mucous membranes in which vesiculobullous lesions occur response to trauma, heat or no apparent cause. The recessive form EB presents greatest oral alterations including repeated blistering scar formation leading limited opening, ankyloglossia, tongue denudation, microstomia, vestibule obliteration predisposition carcinoma. Routine dental care may cause bullae on lips...
Wilms' tumors (WTs) originate from metanephric blastema cells that are unable to complete differentiation, resulting in triphasic composed of epithelial, stromal and blastemal cells, with the latter harboring molecular characteristics similar those earliest kidney development stages. Precise regulation Wnt related signaling pathways has been shown be crucial for correct differentiation. In this study, gene expression profile was assessed laser-microdissected WTs differentiated kidneys, human...
The chemical compositions (organic and inorganic contents) mechanical behaviors of the dentin permanent deciduous teeth were analyzed compared using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (µ-EDXRF) Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman) a microhardness test (HD). Healthy fresh human primary molars (n = 10) selected, buccal surfaces facing upwards stabilized in an acrylic plate, flattened, polished, submitted to µ-EDXRF, FT-Raman, HD analysis. results analysis subjected ANOVAs Mann-Whitney...
In several countries the most common cause of death in young people is cancer. Patients with head and neck cancer often have complications after treatment. Radiation therapy can oral trismus, which related to high doses radiation. Although acupuncture reported be effective widely used for treatment peripheral facial paralysis by promoting an improvement motor functions, few reports literature demonstrate its effectiveness. We report a case symptoms patient surgical associated chemotherapy...
Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), also known as Williams syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder involving cardiovascular problems, mental retardation, distinctive facial features and tooth anomalies. It caused by the submicroscopic deletion of 1.5 to 1.8 Mb on chromosome 7q11.23. This paper reports dental care 7-year-old child with WBS syndrome. The interview revealed visual impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, hyperacusis, photophobia hoarse voice. intraoral clinical examination showed...
Bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity characterized by grinding of the teeth and clenching jaw that causes tooth wear breakage, temporomandibular joint disorders, pain, headache. occurs in both adults children. Clinical characteristics habits were evaluated an adult sample. Moreover, we used DNA samples from 349 151 children to determine presence association with specific genes. Genomic was obtained saliva. The markers rs2241145 rs243832 (metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)), rs13925 rs2236416 9...
ABSTRACT This article documents the case history of a 9‐year‐old Brazilian child diagnosed with Kabuki make‐up syndrome (KMS). The clinical features are described, emphasis on craniofacial and orodental manifestations. patient had distinctive KMS consisting long palpebral fissure, hypertelorism, high‐arched eyebrows sparse hair in lateral one‐third, eyes eversion one‐third lower eyelids, curved eyelashes, ptosis, large anteverted prominent ears position, broad, depressed nasal root flat tip,...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ablation capacity different energies and pulse repetition rates Er:YAG laser energy on primary molar enamel, by assessing mass loss analyzing surface morphology with scanning electron microscopy. Background Data: Previous studies have demonstrated ablate enamel substrate. Methods: Forty-two sound molars were bisected in a mesiodistal direction. surfaces flattened their initial (in milligrams) obtained. An area 4 mm2 delimited....
The aim of the present study was to compare different techniques for resin remnant removal (RRR) after orthodontic bracket debonding and evaluate alterations on dental enamel caused by these methods. null hypothesis tested that there is no difference between RRR in relationship changes enamel.A total 75 bovine mandibular permanent incisors were used study. Brackets bonded debonded each tooth two experimental regions. Five groups (n=15): Group 1-diamond bur (6-bladed), 2-diamond (12-bladed),...
To evaluate the ablation capacity of different energies and pulse repetition rates an erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser on primary dentin by assessing mass loss to analyze surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Previous studies have demonstrated ability Er:YAG ablate substrate.Forty-eight sound molars were bisected in mesiodistal direction. The surfaces flattened, initial (mg) was obtained. A 4-mm2 area delimited. Specimens randomly assigned 12 groups...
ABSTRACT West syndrome (WS) is a rare, severe form of epilepsy that typically manifests early in infancy. It considered malignant condition combines episodes spasms occur clusters (infantile spasm), hypsarrhythmia on the electroencephalogram, and neuropsychomotor delay. Although WS has been widely investigated from medical standpoint, few reports have focused oral findings patients with this syndrome. This article case history 7‐year‐old child diagnosed WS. The major clinical features were...
This study evaluated the in vitro shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin-based pit-and-fissure sealant (Fluroshield [F], Dentsply/Caulk) associated with either an etch-and-rinse (Adper Single Bond 2 [SB], 3M/ESPE) or two-step self-etch adhesive system SE Plus [SE], on Er: YAG laser-irradiated enamel.Seventeen sound third molar crowns were embedded acrylic resin, and mesial-distal enamel surfaces flattened.
