Aim: To investigate the association between obesity, overweight, and tooth loss due to caries among university students of (Federal University of Pelotas) in southern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study with all first-year students who regularly enrolled in the first semester of 2016 who were invited to respond to a self-administered questionnaire contain socioeconomic and demographic; psychosocial; oral health; behavioral questions. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated through the self-reported data of weight and height. The main outcome of the present study was determined by the person’s that answer having had at least one tooth extracted due to caries. A Poisson regression using a backward stepwise procedure was performed. Two models were tested: i) including socioeconomic and behavioral variables; ii) without behavioral variables. Results: From 3,237 eligible students, 2,089 (64.5%) participated in the present study. Almost 23% of students presented overweight and 8.4% obesity, whereas 362 individuals (17.5%) reported having had at least one tooth extracted due to caries. Regarding the final model adjusted by behavioral variables, it was observed that obese university students presented a 32.0% higher prevalence of tooth loss (PR=0.32,CI95%[1.17–1.49]). However, overweight was not associated with tooth loss in the present sample. When the model was not associated with behavioral variables, overweight was associated with tooth loss (PR=1.44; CI95%[1.15–1.81]), just as obesity (PR=2.13; CI95%[1.63 – 2.78]). Conclusions: Obesity and overweight were associated with tooth loss due to caries in the present sample of university students.
Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to identify whether root traction may maintain the periodontal health of teeth with invasion of supracrestal tissue attachment and prosthetically rehabilitated. Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted, in which the periodontal effects of root traction provided on the ability to maintain teeth with invasion of supracrestal tissue attachment and prosthetically rehabilitated were searched in the electronic databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scielo and Cochrane using the Mesh descriptors "orthodontic extrusions", "forced eruption" and "crown lengthening". The inclusion criteria considered studies published in English or Spanish that presented the relationship between root traction and the effect on periodontal health in prosthetically rehabilitated teeth. After collection of articles, they were evaluated by three reviewers, who selected the studies according to their relevance according to criteria as type of study, root traction present, rehabilitation with single fixed prosthesis and period of clinical follow-up. Results: A total of 644 references were identified and after exclusion according to eligibility criteria, 33 papers covered all parameters adopted and were included in the qualitative analysis. Satisfactory prosthetic rehabilitation, associated with periodontal health after root traction, could be observed in all studies, notably with variation only in the follow-up time observed up to the first six months, 1, 2, 3 and up to 4 years. Conclusions: Root traction is a conservative and effective tool in the maintenance of periodontal health in teeth with invasion of supracrestal tissue attachment and prosthetically rehabilitated.
Relata-se a experiência de utilização da plataforma Instagram na criação e disseminação de conhecimento com foco na apresentação de Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) por acadêmicos de graduação em Odontologia. Foi realizado um relato descritivo da veiculação de conteúdo na rede social Instagram, por meio do perfil @powerpoint.tcc. O conteúdo foi produzido por uma acadêmica de graduação em Odontologia, com o apoio de discentes e docentes envolvidos em apresentações científicas e acadêmicas. Foram realizadas postagens frequentes abordando diversas temáticas relacionadas ao tema apresentação de TCC. Foram elaborados materiais variados em formato de posts, destacando-se o uso do software PowerPoint para a criação de apresentações; oratória, postura e linguagem; além de informações sobre apresentação de dados de forma atrativa e interessante. Os formatos das postagens realizadas foram aqueles disponíveis na plataforma Instagram: posts no feed, reels, story, vídeos no IGTV, além de lives da própria conta ou em contas parceiras. A periodicidade das postagens temáticas foi de pelo menos uma a cada dois dias. A avaliação de alcance e entrega do conteúdo foi obtida por meio das métricas disponibilizadas no próprio aplicativo da rede social. Observou-se grande interesse sobre a temática abordada, uma vez que as apresentações científicas e acadêmicas são habituais para os acadêmicos de graduação. Conclui-se que a experiência prática de utilização da plataforma Instagram para criação e transmissão de conhecimentos com foco nos TCCs mostrou-se extremamente promissora e propositiva.
