The ratio between the second and fourth digits is a proxy marker for prenatal exposure and sensitivity to sexual hormones, which can be genetically influenced. The influence of prenatal hormone exposure can reflect on adult life traits such as psychological traits, athletic performance and diseases such as cardiovascular. An important and newly explored field on digit ratio research is its correlation to different types of cancer, as a marker for prevalence and severity. In this review, the different types of cancer already correlated to digit ratios are discussed.
Objetivo: Comparar manejos cirúrgicos e resultados funcionais e estéticos entre as técnicas de recobrimento radicular de Enxerto Subepitelial de Tecido Conjuntivo (ESTC) e Enxerto Gengival Livre (EGL) através de relatos de casos clínicos. Detalhamento do caso: Duas pacientes com idades de 21 anos e finalizando tratamento ortodôntico compareceram ao Complexo Odontológico São João Calábria da UNICATÓLICA, com recessão gengival (RG). Após os exames periodontais e sistêmicos, observou-se RG no dente 41. As pacientes receberam informações necessárias e assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Para o EGL e o ESTC, respectivamente, o preparo do leito receptor consistiu em incisão horizontal na linha mucogengival com desepitelização, e retalho em envelope após incisão intrasulcular com descolamento parcial de retalho. No palato duro, o qual consistiu no leito doador, obteve-se tecido epitelial e conjuntivo ou apenas conjuntivo, que foi acomodado ao leito receptor e fixado por suturas. Após 2 meses, notou-se quantidade maior de tecido queratinizado e divergência de cor referente ao enxerto no EGL. O recobrimento radicular completo ocorreu apenas para o ESTC, que incluiu uma sutura suspensória. Conclusão: O EGL e o ESTC apresentam resultados clínicos superiores entre si quanto aos aspectos funcionais e estéticos, respectivamente, em RGs.
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent infectious-inflammatory disease, characterized by alveolar bone resorption. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has stood out for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The present study evaluated, through a literature review, the use of HA as an adjunctive therapeutic approach to non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) of periodontitis (PD), carried out through scaling and root planing. For this, the Pubmed and Medline databases were used with the following descriptors: Hyaluronic Acid AND Periodontitis. Among 58 manuscripts found, 11 studies were selected after analyzing their title and respective abstracts. Pre-clinical or clinical research published from 2010 to 2020, including the use of HA exclusively in the NSPT of PD, were included for this literature review. Studies using other pharmacological interventions in conjunction with HA, other literature reviews and research related to the treatment of gingivitis, periodontal or pulp regeneration, surgical periodontal therapy, apical or peri-implantitis periodontitis were excluded. The main data of the selected manuscripts were
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.
