The association between PD and PLBW weight was consistent, except for exposure measurement 1, i.e. using at least one site with CAL> or =3 mm for periodontitis diagnosis, while the magnitude of this varied according to the definition established.
The extensive use of central venous catheters (CVC) in a hospital environment leads to increased iatrogenic complications, as more catheters are used enclosed and its maintenance is prolonged. Several complications are known to be related to central venous catheter, of which the uncommon cardiac tamponade (CT), hardly recognized and associated with high mortality. We present a clinical case, with favorable outcome, of a patient who developed a CT 17 days after CVC placement, and try to reflect on the measures that can be taken to reduce its incidence, as well as the therapeutic approaches to practice in the presence of a suspected CT.
Objective: to evaluate the oral health condition of pregnant/postpartum women attending public services in the city of Feira de Santana, BA, Brazil, at three different times between 2005 and 2015. Methods: this is a study socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, health condition and health care, lifestyle and oral health status of 1,245 participants obtained from a database of three previous investigations: I Intervention Study (2005-2007); II Case-Control Study (2010-2011); III Case-Control Study (2012-2015). Results: comparing the three periods, the frequency of gingivitis (24.41% versus 8.90% versus 5.77%; p<0.01) and periodontitis (44.64% vs 9.16% vs 11.55%; p<0.01) was found to decrease; the worst dental conditions regarding the number of teeth present, healthy and extracted and the DMFT index were found in period III compared to period II. Conclusion: an improvement was seen in the participants' periodontal condition over time, which coincides with the implementation of policies pertaining to women's health, oral health and income redistribution in this city.
Muitas lesões imitam as lesões periapicais crônicas inflamatórias, mas os dentes permanecem com vitalidade pulpar. Cinco perguntas são fundamentais: 1) Qual é o diagnóstico? 2) Qual é seu tratamento? 3) Qual será minha conduta? 4) A quem devo encaminhar? 5) Isso vai impedir o tratamento ortodôntico? Abrir a coroa de um dente com vitalidade e expor a polpa viva para extirpá-la, esperando que resolva-se o problema de uma lesão periapical com a obturação do canal, é equivocado e não contribui para o diagnóstico e nem para a terapêutica. A prática clínica ortodôntica talvez seja a situação onde essas lesões periapicais e laterais às raízes de dentes com vitalidade pulpar mais se apresentam e são surpreendidas durante a interpretação imagiológica das documentações no planejamento ortodôntico. Essas lesões serão aqui abordadas, de forma aplicada ao clínico ortodontista.
