The aim of study was to evaluate periodontal conditions of upper canines and second premolars with and without proximal contact of individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment associated to extractions of the upper first premolars. The study selected upper canines and premolars of individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment without extractions (30 hemiarches - control group), or with extraction of the upper first premolars and whose canines and second premolars had interproximal contact (16 hemiarches - group 1) or diastema (17 hemiarches - group 2). Clinical (plaque index, probing depth, gingival bleeding index, height of the gingival margin, clinical attachment loss and gingival clefts) and radiographic (crest height, bone height and bone-crest discrepancy) parameters of the distal surfaces of canines and mesial surfaces of premolars were evaluated. Group 1 had worse results when compared to the control group for the levels of plaque in canines and premolars and for probing depth in canines (distal and mean) and in premolars (lingual and mean), as well as increasing tendency of clinical attachment loss (lingual and mean) in premolars. Plaque level in canines in group 1 was also significantly higher than in group 2. There was no difference between group 2 and the control group. The lack of proximal contact between canines and second premolars did not significantly affect their periodontal characteristics.
Objetivo: Verificar o desenvolvimento de competências nos estudantes de Odontologia a partir dos ciclos de 2010-2019 do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE). Métodos: Foram utilizados os relatórios síntese do ENADE de cada instituição em cada um dos exames compreendidos no período estudado. As questões objetivas das provas foram classificadas de acordo com as competências que avaliaram e o percentual de acerto de cada IES verificado. Resultados: As diferentes competências foram identificadas nas diversas regiões brasileiras, todavia, as médias, embora tenham se desenvolvido durante o período, ainda apontam a necessidade de melhorias nas instituições. Conclusão: Conclui-se que as instituições de ensino superior em odontologia, embora compreendam a importância do desenvolvimento de competências aos estudantes, ainda não possuem todos os métodos e ferramentas de ensino que possibilitarão pleno enriquecimento profissional. A região Nordeste alcançou as melhores médias na maior parte do período estudado. Regiões Sudeste e Sul também se destacaram nas médias, o que pode ser explicado também pelo investimento e visibilidade que as instituições destas regiões possuem.
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.
