Background: Necrotizing periodontal diseases rapidly and aggressively reach the periodontal tissues and are multifactorial and complex. Necrotizing ulcerative gonorrhea (GUN) necrotizing periodontitis (PUN) and necrotizing ulcerative stomatitis (EUN) are the three main modalities of necrotizing periodontal diseases.Objective: was to report through a literature review the necrotizing periodontal diseases, highlighting its manifestation, diagnosis and means of more conservative treatments, thus reducing the sequelae caused by the disease. Methods:Experimental and clinical studies were included (case reports, retrospective, prospective and randomized trials) with qualitative and / or quantitative analysis. A total of 30 articles were found involving Periodontal Diseases, Necrotizing Periodontal Diseases, Oral Health, Diabetes mellitus. A total of 21 articles were evaluated in full, and 13 were included and discussed in this study. Conclusion:It is concluded that necrotizing periodontal diseases are diseases of few occurrences, but are considered the most aggressive form of periodontal diseases. Biofilm is the main cause, but it has to take into account the predisposing factors to have a better diagnosis.
The canines are extremely relevant elements in the dental arch, justifying the great aesthetic and functional importance. However, its eruption pathway is long and complex, one of the causes described in the literature to justify ectopic eruption and impaction of permanent superior canines, especially in the palatal region. The impaction of the upper canines is defined when the tooth does not erupt after six months of the root being completely formed. This impaction can lead to several pathologies in untreated patients. That is why the ideal age to diagnose is between 10 and 12 years. The excellence of the treatment translates into the correction of occlusion, smile harmony, periodontal health and post-treatment stability. . Surgical techniques along with orthodontic treatment are widely used for correct positioning in the arcade. Thus, this work aims to show, through a literature review and clinical case report, orthodontic-surgical techniques for traction of impacted and or included canines.
Introduction: Prenatal dental care is extremely important, as it requires a series of specific care for pregnant patients. There is a need for specific care with the health of the mouth and informing the patient of essential care for her and her baby's health. Also, the microorganisms that cause these diseases can migrate to the uterus and cause premature births. Several studies show that dental care was considered safe for the mother and fetus throughout the entire period of pregnancy. Objective: To carry out a brief systematic review of the literature to elucidate the main considerations for success during the treatment of oral health in pregnant women. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 244 articles were found. A total of 76 articles were evaluated in full and 19 were included and evaluated in the present study. A total of 3 Studies with a High Risk of Bias and 1 Study with Uncertain Risk. Studies have suggested a protective effect of prenatal oral health care against the onset of caries in infancy and up to before 4 years of age. The transport of S. mutans in children was also significantly reduced in the intervention group. Children exposed to the use of maternal substances had a higher incidence of hospitalization for dental caries than unexposed children. Thus, inadequate prenatal education in oral health can negatively impact the quality of oral hygiene in children. It is imperative to develop strategies to improve oral health and develop a health system strengthening by interprofessional collaboration in the prenatal phase of pregnant women. Furthermore, an inverse relationship was observed between 25(OH)D levels and the number of decayed primary teeth. Conclusion: Taking care of oral health is part of the daily rhythm of personal hygiene. The monitoring of a dental surgeon during pregnancy is considered to prevent and treat the pregnant woman's oral diseases and clarify the doubts of future mothers since the baby's oral health begins to establish itself during the gestational period.
Introduction: Odontomas are tumors of odontogenic origin. They represent on average 70% of all odontogenic tumors found. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent the loss of tissue element, tooth impaction, bone malformations, and displacement of bone structures, differentiating their types through panoramic radiographic images. Objective: To carry out a concise systematic review of the characteristics of odontomas, differentiating their types through panoramic radiographic images. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 84 articles were found. A total of 36 articles were evaluated in full and 17 were included and evaluated in the present study. A total of 3 Studies with a High Risk of Bias and 1 Study with Uncertain Risk. Radiographic examination is extremely important for the study and diagnosis of odontomas. Odontomas present a characteristic radiographic appearance. In complex odontomas, radiopacity is not specifically determined, showing itself as an irregular and disorganized mass surrounded by a narrow radiolucent zone. In the composite type, the radiographic image is pathognomonic. In the radiopaque image, dozens of denticles simulate small teeth surrounded by a thin radiolucent area. Composite odontoma, on the other hand, consists of the same calcified structures arranged in an orderly and related manner, similar to normal teeth contained in a fibrous capsule. The differential diagnosis of complex odontoma includes osteomas and condensing osteitis. Conclusion: Radiographic and/or tomographic examination is the best way to obtain an accurate diagnosis, precisely delimiting the lesion and nearby and involved structures.
Introduction: The National Cancer Institute (INCA) estimates that for each year of the triennium 2020/2022, 15,190 new cases of cancer in the mouth and oropharynx are diagnosed in Brazil. In the global context, oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is in the sixth position of cancer incidence. The most frequent form, about 90%, is squamous cell carcinomas. Objective: It was to present a clinical case report of oropharyngeal cancer in an octogenarian patient, to present the main diagnostic and treatment procedures in advanced age. Methods: The present study was elaborated according to the rules of the CARE case report. Scientific search engines: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), published in Portuguese in the last 10 years. Case report and Conclusion: Based on the objective of this study and the literary findings, it showed that knowledge about OPC is essential for dental professionals, which plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis of oral cancers, requiring incisional biopsy. From the case described, it became evident the need for a partnership with a licensed psychologist, for the psychological preparation of the patient who will receive the news of the positive result for oropharyngeal cancer and the follow-up of the same throughout the treatment.
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.
