Dente incluso é aquele que não consegue erupcionar, não atingindo sua posição na arcada dentária dentro do tempo esperado. Os Caninos são dentes frequentemente mal posicionados, porém a falha de erupção do canino mandibular é pouco comum, sendo mais frequente a inclusão de caninos maxilares. A transmigração é um fenômeno raro no qual dentes não erupcionados migram através da linha média maxilar ou mandibular, afetando mais comumente os caninos mandibulares. Esses dentes normalmente permanecem inclusos, assintomáticos, sendo descobertos em exames radiográficos para diagnosticar a demora da esfoliação do canino decíduo ou para outras finalidades. O planejamento cirúrgico adequado para cada caso baseia-se nos achados clínicos e radiográficos, onde avalia-se a localização, grau de formação radicular e a existência de espaço para a erupção do dente impactado. O sucesso do tratamento depende da idade do paciente e da posição do dente. No entanto, o tratamento mais indicado é a remoção cirúrgica, pois a permanência desses dentes pode causar danos como a anquilose, reabsorção da raiz e da coroa dos dentes adjacentes, presença de infecção, interferência com próteses, dor, erupção ectópica e outras patologias. Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso de exodontia do dente 43, incluso, na região do mento com o auxílio da radiografia lateral de mandíbula utilizando-se o filme oclusal.
Objective: it is important to evaluate the position andestablish the third molar relationship with the mandibularcanal to minimize the risk of nerve injury and assistin planning the extraction of this tooth. The panoramicradiograph is the standard diagnostic tool for this purpose.However, if it indicates a close relationship betweenthe third molar and the mandibular canal, furtherinvestigation using cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) may be recommended to check the three-dimensionalrelationship between the tooth and the mandibularcanal. Thus, this study aimed to correlate the clinicalfindings (observed in third molar surgeries) to imagingfindings (observed in panoramic radiographs andCBCT). Subjects and method: after the extraction of 20mandibular third molars, the panoramic radiograph andthe cone beam computed tomography were analyzed.Then, the surgical findings were correlated to the imagefindings. Results: It was observed that the radiographicfinding type 2 (darkening of roots) observed in the panoramicradiograph presented a greater relation to theabsence of cortical bone between the mandibular canaland the third molar (CBCT finding), with statistical significance(p
Introduction: establish an association between the radiographic classification and the surgical technique related to the lower third molars. Materials and method: a retrospective study was carried out, with the descriptive analysis of the data. The sample consisted of 100 patients (n = 100) from the spontaneous demand who sought out the Dental Clinic of UFC (Ceará's Federal University) -Campus Sobral, between december 2017 to july 2018, and who followed the inclusion criteria: patient with panoramic radiography, free of active periodontal disease and tooth with at least two thirds of root formation; and as exclusion criteria: patients with associated bone pathologies, teeth with less than two thirds of root formation and patients who did not wish to participate in the study. Results: patients included in the study were from 18 to 25 years of age, most of them male, with complaints of pain. Using the radiographic classification of Pell & Gregory, the most found positions were 1A (35%), 2B (28%) and 2A (17%). The most prevalent surgical techniques were the open ones. Could be done the extraction by closed surgical technique (forceps or lever) (n = 27), with flap preparation plus osteotomy (OST) (n = 25) and flap plus osteotomy plus odontostomy (ODS) (n = 48). Conclusion: teeth with radiographic classification, grade of inclusion and different preoperative plans had the same protocol (flap + OST + ODS) in the surgical act. It is evident that radiographic classification stills an effective method to aid in operative planning, but it can be complemented by other diagnostic standards, such as a specific classification of the root anatomy.
Background: The general objective of this study was to evaluate the management of patients with severe maxillofacial infections in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A study was performed whose methodology consisted of evaluating the epidemiological profile of 35 patients with serious maxillofacial infections, including age group, and gender. The patients were evaluated between December 2020 and November 2021. A total of 35 patients (18 male and 17 female) were recorded in this study.
Results: The most frequent etiological factor leading to infection was dental (91.4%), followed by infected fractures (5.7%). The teeth most frequently involved were the lower third and other lower molars (1st, 2nd, and premolars). The most performed treatment (14 patients) was drainage of the infected space, removal of the etiological agent and intravenous antibiotic therapy. 10 patients (8.6%) were treated with incision, drainage, and antibiotic IV therapy..
Conclusions: Multidisciplinary management can decrease morbidity and mortality in patients with severe maxillofacial infections.
