Durante muito tempo, as atividades laboratoriais dos cursos de graduação em Odontologia eram realizadas em dentes obtidos de várias formas, entre elas doações feitas por profissionais da área e captações em cemitérios por intermédio de coveiros. Após a inclusão do dente no grupo de órgãos, as questões legais tornaram os bancos de dentes humanos (BDH) essenciais nas universidades. Objetivo: Após realizar um questionário com acadêmicos sobre o tema, observou-se a necessidade de promover a implantação do BDH no Centro Universitário de União da Vitória (Uniuv). Material e métodos: Utilizou-se uma revisão da literatura sobre as substâncias usadas para o armazenamento dos dentes, bem como dos protocolos instalados em outras instituições que já possuíam bancos de dentes. Resultados e conclusão: Encontra[1]se a elaboração do procedimento operacional padrão para o BDH UNIUV, utilizando detergente multienzimático para limpeza prévia dos dentes, processo de autoclavagem para esterilização, sendo os dentes posteriormente depositados em frascos contendo água destilada e postos sob refrigeração para armazenamento.
Understanding the problem of upper arches rehabilitation with implants in relation to the complain of lack of lip support, this study was designed to assess the potential of hyaluronic acid (HA) to increase lips volume and to fill the nasogenian groove in this group of patients. One hundred patients with rehabilitated maxilla with implant-supported hybrid fixed total prosthesis were selected. Of these, 86 attended the initial consultation and eight individuals were included in the study. The sample inclusion criteria were use of implant-supported fixed prosthesis in the maxilla with complaint of thin lips and deepening of the nasogenian groove and patients who agreed to participate of the study. Linear and angular measurements were drawn on initial an after procedure teleradiographies in order to assess lip protrusion before and after hyaluronic acid filling. Also standardized photographs were taken before and after the procedures, which were assessed by dentists and lay people. The participants of the study answered a questionnaire in order to assess the degree of satisfaction with the procedure. Hyaluronic acid filling presented significant differences (t1-t2) for upper and lower lip protrusion p= 0.001 and p=0.02, respectively. For the upper lip, the mean protrusion was 0.76mm + 1.88 (t1) before the filling with hyaluronic acid procedure and after filling the mean protrusion was 3.45mm + 1.58 (t2). Independent evaluators and practitioners assessed the facial profiles after the filling with HA, mostly as medium and significant better alterations. It can be concluded that lip and nasogenian sulcus filling in individuals rehabilitated with implant-supported total fixed implants increased self-esteem and provided close to normal lip protrusion.
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.
