Objective: to evaluate pressure and endurance exerted by the tongue and their association with malocclusion, gender and age in orthognathic surgery candidates. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive observational study, performed with 34 subjects, i.e., 18 women and 16 men, in the average age 28.7 years, sorted by Angle’s classification. Self-reported complaint of tongue mobility and stomatognathic functions was assessed and the evaluation of tongue mobility carried out. Tongue pressure and endurance were measured with the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). The data were analyzed descriptively and, for inferential analysis, the Pearson Chi-Square test was used. A 5% significance level was considered. Results: the assessed pressure and tongue endurance values of patients with malocclusion were lower than the reference ones, indicating a statistical significance in class II female patients. There was an association between inadequate pressure and tongue endurance in women with class II malocclusion. Pressure and tongue endurance in females were slightly higher than in males and a gradual decrease in averages of pressure and tongue endurance with advancing age was seen. Conclusion: pressure and tongue endurance values in women presented with class II malocclusion were lower than the reference ones, an association between inadequate pressure and tongue endurance being found.
cases where the use of this technique has facilitated the location specific exposure of multiple impacted teeth and allowed the optimal sequencing of traction application. It has reduced the need for unnecessary secondary procedures and has led to increased efficiency and enhanced both patient and clinician experience.http://dx. Background and Objectives:The surgical removal of impacted third molars results in tissue trauma that is often accompanied by severe pain and swelling. Prescription of postoperative oral narcotics is standard care, though these medications are often accompanied by adverse side effects. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a noninvasive, therapeutic method that has been used to reduce oedema and pain following surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate PEMF therapy for the treatment of postoperative oedema and pain following third molar extraction. Methods: A prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial was conducted. Patients who were 18 years and older and who had 2 partial bony or fully impacted mandibular teeth were included in this study. Postoperative pain was measured using visual analogue scale at different time points. Three-dimensional imaging technology was used to accurately quantify the progression and degree of swelling. The use of postoperative medications was recorded as well. Findings: A total of 41 patients participated in this study. For purpose of this analysis a total of 26 patients (11 males and 15 females) with completed records were included. There was a reduction in postoperative pain medications in the PEMF group when compared to placebo (P = 0.04). Conclusions: These preliminary results show the efficacy of PEMF in reducing postoperative pain. PEMF is well tolerated without complications.http://dx.Background: Prophylactic removal of third molars continues to be a debated and evolving topic. The sequelae of retained impacted third molars include cystic changes, periodontal ligament damage, and resorption of second molars. One of the most dangerous sequelae of retained third molars is deep fascial space infection (DFSI), which requires emergency surgery and intravenous antibiotic administration placing a burden on the healthcare system. Objectives:To report the prevalence of subjects with DFSI requiring hospital admission and surgical treatment due to retained third molars and also see if there is an association between depth of impaction and DFSI. Methods: This retrospective chart review was conducted in the Department of Oral Surgery, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Following IRB approval, we reviewed a five-year convenience sample of subjects with DFSI requiring hospital admission and surgical treatment. Radiology studies, clinical notes, and OR logs were used to determine the aetiology in these DFSI cases as well as depth of impaction. Findings: We reviewed 139 cases involving DFSI and identified the 118 cases which were due to odontogenic aetiology. Of these cases, 52 (44%) exhibited a thi...

RESUMO Objetivo verificar se existem diferenças nas medidas acústicas e da geometria orofaríngea entre indivíduos hígidos e pessoas com Doença de Parkinson, segundo a idade e sexo e investigar se há correlações entre as medidas geométricas orofaríngeas nessa população. Método participaram 40 indivíduos, sendo 20 com diagnóstico de Doença de Parkinson e 20 indivíduos hígidos, pareados por faixa etária, sexo e índice de massa corporal. As variáveis acústicas estudadas foram frequência fundamental, jitter, shimmer, glottal-to-noise excitation ratio, ruído e média da intensidade. As variáveis geométricas da orofaringe foram aferidas por faringometria acústica. Resultados as variáveis geométricas foram menores no grupo com Doença de Parkinson e os idosos com Doença de Parkinson apresentaram menor área da junção orofaríngea que os idosos hígidos. Com relação aos parâmetros acústicos vocais, o valor da frequência fundamental foi menor no sexo masculino, no grupo com Doença de Parkinson e os valores de jitter foram maiores no grupo não idoso dos sujeitos com Doença de Parkinson. Houve correlação positiva moderada entre o comprimento e volume da cavidade oral, comprimento da cavidade faríngea e o comprimento do trato vocal e do volume da cavidade faríngea e o volume do trato vocal. Conclusão indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson apresentaram menores valores de área glótica e área da junção orofaríngea, comparativamente aos hígidos. Quando distribuídos por faixa etária e sexo, a frequência fundamental foi menor no grupo com doença de Parkinson, na população masculina. Houve correlação positiva moderada entre as medidas de comprimento e volume da orofaringe, na amostra estudada.
