To evaluate the influence of denture cleansers on the surface roughness, Candida albicans adhesion, and biofilm formation on denture base acrylic resins. Study selection: Electronic databases and gray literature were searched using an individual search strategy. In vitro studies that evaluated the effects of immersion in denture cleansers on the surface roughness (µm) and antimicrobial activity (CFU/mL) on samples of heat-polymerized denture base acrylic resins were included. Results: After screening, 17 studies were included, and a qualitative synthesis was performed. After assessing the risk of bias, only nine studies were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis results showed that the evaluated solutions (0.5% sodium hypochlorite, 1% sodium hypochlorite, alkaline peroxide, and natural substances) did not influence the roughness of the acrylic resin. However, in the qualitative analysis, it was not possible to confirm an association between roughness and C. albicans adhesion and biofilm formation on the acrylic resin samples. Conclusion: Denture cleansers did not affect the surface roughness of denture base acrylic resins.
Letter about the importance of considering psychosocial aspects in migraine patients
Preface of the Brazilian version of the ICOP It is with great satisfaction and enthusiasm that we present the Portuguese version of the ICOP (International Classification of Orofacial Pain, in English). ICOP is the result of an effort by several world representative entities in the area of Orofacial Pain. That initiative culminated in a comprehensive document that aims to standardize the classification of Orofacial Pain. Originally published in 2020 by the International Headache Society (IHS), we now have our version in Portuguese, to be applied in research and clinical activities, also providing subsidies to discuss future steps. The ICOP is formatted in such a way that it provides a logical and coherent flow of reasoning for determining the diagnosis. We must also remember that this document is part of the initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO), through the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and should be part of the entity's official document from 2022, which makes it even more important as a tool for “conversation” with other health specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the members of the Committee involved in the translation process and especially the Brazilian Headache Society (SBCe) for their support for the materialization of this project. We also thank Cephalalgia for allowing the translation of the ICOP originally published by them, and the publication of the Brazilian version. We also emphasize that this is a “beta” version of the ICOP, which means that it must undergo adjustments and improvements after a period of use. Thus, we invite all of you to use, discuss, apply the criteria and, above all, give your opinion so that we can always take another step forward in the difficult but fundamental task of classifying Orofacial Pain. Good reading!
A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é uma condição musculoesquelética e neuromuscular de etiologia multifatorial. Está frequentemente associada à comorbidades dolorosas (cefaleias primárias, por exemplo) e à cefaleia atribuída à DTM (cDTM). Hábitos orais parafuncionais em vigília (HOV) podem influenciar essas condições dolorosas, piorando o prognóstico e aumentando a refratariedade ao tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi investigar a associação entre DTM, HOV, migrânea (Mg), cDTM e sintomas de depressão e ansiedade. A DTM foi classificada de acordo com o RDC/TMD, as variáveis sociodemográficas foram classificadas de acordo com os critérios do IBGE, a presença e frequência de HOV, os sintomas de depressão e de ansiedade foram coletados por meio de questionário. A Mg foi identificada de acordo com os critérios da Classificação Internacional de Cefaleias – 3ª. Edição, e a cDTM de acordo com os critérios de Schiffman et al. (2014). A amostra, composta por 117 indivíduos com 20 a 65 anos de idade, foi estratificada em 4 grupos para estudos de associação: Controles; DTM; DTM+Mg; DTM+Mg+cDTM. As mulheres apresentaram DTM e cefaleias com maior frequência que os homens (p<0,001). Houve associação significante entre maior grau de incapacidade relacionada à dor crônica da DTM e os grupos (p<0,0001). A regressão logística multinomial apontou que na presença de maior frequência de HOV, os indivíduos tinham maiores chances de ter as 3 condições dolorosas simultaneamente (Odds Ratio (OR)=3,23; IC = [1,06-9,81]. O hábito de apertar os dentes em vigília aumentou as chances de os indivíduos apresentarem DTM+Mg e DTM+Mg+cDTM (OR=1,81; IC= [1,25-2,64]). Os resultados demonstram que a presença e a frequência dos HOV podem interferir na relação entre a DTM e as cefaleias, piorando o prognóstico e aumentando a chance de comorbidade entre estas patologias.
