The objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of periodontal research done in Brazil. Methodology: This study was developed by examining papers published at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society of Dental Research (SBPqO). Summaries related to the field of Periodontics have been evaluated. An Excel spreadsheet with details of institutions, funding agencies, states, regions, subjects, and types of research methods was collected. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to perform the analysis. results: 3,095 articles were published in the annals of 2017 SBPqO. Only 216 (6.97%) articles dealt with issues related to Periodontics. The Southeast Region accounted for 66.7% (144 papers) of all published papers. More than half of the studies (64.8%) were about basic periodontal therapy and 48.6% (105 papers) received some sort of funding. conclusion: The Southeast Region had the highest academic production. Public institutions were leaders in research activities, and basic periodontal therapy was the subject with the highest number of published papers..
A hiperplasia condilar (HC) é caracterizada por um crescimento excessivo do côndilo mandibular provocando problemas estéticos e funcionais. O tratamento da HC ainda não é um consenso na literatura, sendo possível encontrar diversos protocolos de manejo cirúrgico. Diante disso, esse estudo tem o objetivo de relatar o tratamento cirúrgico precoce da HC por meio de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo, do tipo relato de caso. Paciente sexo masculino, 13 anos de idade, com histórico de severa assimetria facial. Ao exame físico apresentava assimetria em terço inferior de face, desvio contralateral do mento, inclinação do plano oclusal e maloclusão. O exame tomográfico evidenciou uma hiperplasia em região condilar esquerda, com alongamento do processo condilar, aumento do corpo mandibular ipsilateral e desvio contralateral do mento. O procedimento cirúrgico de condilectomia alta por acesso pré auricular foi realizado com a ressecção de 7 mm do processo condilar esquerdo. Paciente em acompanhamento ambulatorial, há mais de dois anos do procedimento, apresentava simetria facial, boa abertura bucal, oclusão estável e ausência de queixa álgica. Dessa forma, a condilectomia alta pode ser considerada uma alternativa racional de tratamento precoce nos casos de HC ativa no inicio da puberdade, diminuindo o estimulo de crescimento do côndilo afetado e reduzindo a necessidade de cirurgia ortognática posterior.
Objetivo: relatar três casos de fístula e um caso de comunicação bucossinusal com propostas de tratamento diferentes baseados na clínica de cada paciente, bem como discutir as possíveis técnicas utilizadas nesse processo patológico. Metodologia: foi realizado uma busca de artigos científicos nas bases de dados Pubmed e SciELO para embasamento científico e construção dos relatos de casos clínicos. Resultados e Conclusões: os procedimentos cirúrgicos para fechamento das comunicações ou fístulas bucossinusais são intervenções necessárias e devem ser realizadas o mais breve possível. A escolha da técnica cirúrgica deve ser feita de maneira individualizada para cada paciente visando à correção do defeito ósseo, a resolução do processo infeccioso e das queixas clínicas.
With the loss of dental elements and subsequent bone resorption, the rehabilitation process in an atrophic maxilla becomes a challenge for professionals. Alternatives such as autogenous, xenogeneic and allogeneic grafts, as well as alloplastic biomaterials, have been used for bone volume gain. The technique of lifting the maxillary sinus to the posterior region of the maxilla is well described in the literature and does not present major complications. Morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) appear as adjuvants in this technique and can replace grafts or be combined with them. The objective of this study was to present the use of different materials for the reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla in order to give back to a patient the bone contour and volume she had lost. The reported case shows the employment of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), associated with a particulate xenogeneic graft. The atrophic maxilla was reconstructed, and the indications, contraindications and possible limitations of the technique were discussed. It is possible to conclude that the technique used was satisfactory; the patient evolved well and is awaiting installation of an implant-supported prosthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
