The mental index, mandibular cortical index, and trabecular bone pattern are good parameters for evaluating the effects of RO on severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Panoramic images reveal morphological changes in the jaw bone, indicating likewise changes in the hand/wrist in severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. The severity of the bone changes may be a reflection of the parathyroid hormone levels in advanced chronic kidney disease.
ObjetivoAvaliar a autopercepção dos idosos com relação à própria saúde bucal e a anamnese, abrangendo as alterações sistêmicas e bucais presentes.MétodosA amostra consistiu de 52 idosos, com idade entre 60 e 90 anos, participantes da Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade, Núcleo São José dos Campos, Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho. Foi utilizado o Questionário Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index para aferir a autopercepção dos idosos quanto à própria condição bucal, seguido de anamnese e exames clínicos intrabucais a fim de identificar as alterações sistêmicas e bucais existentes.ResultadosDe acordo com a análise estatística descritiva, 86,0% dos indivíduos apresentaram alta autopercepção em avaliar a própria condição bucal (ótima capacidade); 12,0% tiveram média autopercepção (boa capacidade) e 2,0% dos indivíduos apresentaram baixa autopercepção (baixa capacidade). Hipertensões arteriais (30,7%) e fibromas (12,4%) foram, respectivamente, as doenças sistêmicas e bucais mais prevalentes.ConclusãoEmbora os cuidados e as orientações para uma adequada saúde dos idosos continuem aquém do desejado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, esses indivíduos majoritariamente apresentaram uma boa autopercepção da saúde bucal.Termos de indexação: Anamnese.

Objectives Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a disease that affects patients with chronic kidney disease, and is characterized by mineral disturbance and bone loss, known as renal osteodystrophy. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of using intraoral phosphor storage plates to take radiographs of the middle phalanges to evaluate bone loss resulting from SHPT during follow-up of these patients. Methods The sample consisted of 24 patients with chronic kidney disease, 12 with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels C500 pg/ml, and 12 with PTH levels \500 pg/ml, who underwent hemodialysis weekly. For each patient, a panoramic radiograph and digital radiographs of the ring, index, and middle fingers of both hands were taken. The Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI) and the Trabecular Bone Pattern Index (TBP) were applied to the panoramic radiographs, while the Phalangeal Cortical Index (PCI) was applied to the digital radiographs of the phalanges. Three evaluators performed all analyses. Results Significant correlations were found between the PTH levels and the MCI (p = 0.023), the PCI (p = 0.039) and the TBP index (p = 0.032). These parameters were also significantly interrelated (MCI 9 PCI = 0.001; MCI 9 TBP = 0.004 and PCI 9 TBP = 0.009). The PCI was shown to have the highest correlation with PTH levels. Conclusion In patients with chronic renal disease, it is clinically relevant to use panoramic and digital radiographs using intraoral storage plates to assess a number of quantitative parameters that can be linked to PTH levels.
Based on the present methodology, there were no statistically significant differences in hypodontia of one or more types of teeth between genders or types of cleft.
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.
