Objetivo: analisar a rotatividade dos profissionais de saúde vinculados às Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESFs) de Montes Claros, MG. Sujeitos e método: trata-se de um estudo transversal de natureza quantitativa do tipo exploratório e descritivo. Os dados foram extraídos do Relatório de Profissionais Desligados no Estabelecimen­to do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES), no período de fevereiro de 2001 a agosto de 2016. Resultados: foram avaliados 811 profissionais, dos gêneros feminino (n=599) e masculino (n=212), em 93 ESFs. Estiveram cadastrados 283 médicos, 264 enfermeiros, 50 técnicos de enfermagem, 75 auxiliares de enfermagem, 78 dentistas, 56 auxiliares de saúde bu­cal e 5 técnicos de saúde bucal. A média do tempo de permanência (TP) dos profissionais nas ESFs foi de 20 meses, sendo que o tempo mais frequente foi menor que 1 mês (6,2%), seguido pelos tempos de 1 (5,9%) e 2 (4,3%) meses; 48,82% dos profissionais (n=396) permaneceram por tempo menor que 12 meses. Os cirurgiões-dentistas foram os profissionais que tiveram maior TP dentre os profissionais de nível superior, e profissionais de nível médio apresentaram TP significa­tivamente maior. Conclusão: pôde-se observar uma alta taxa de rotatividade profissional nas ESFs no município avaliado.

IntroductionBacterial biofilms can be calcified. Granulomas or cystic lesions are the most commonly found entities in endodontics. Surprisingly, this case report presents a rare radiopaque image, in a fan shape, of a calculus-like deposit in the periapical region of the maxillary left central incisor.Case presentationA 34-year-old male, with a history of trauma, presented with apical periodontitis associated with an uncommon image, similar to a calculus-like deposit adhered to the apical region of the maxillary left central incisor. Nonsurgical endodontic intervention was performed, followed by apicoectomy and histopathological analysis of the collected material. The results of the biopsy were not compatible with a cyst or granuloma but showed fibrous connective tissue with calcified areas.DiscussionCorrect diagnosis in endodontics is possible with a well-conducted anamnesis, complementary imaging exams and, in some cases, histopathological analysis. The periapical calculus-like deposit, associated with a periapical radiolucent lesion, was a result of the body's fight for healing, producing unusual radiopacity.ConclusionThe presence of the calculus-like deposit in a fan shape at the root surface represented dystrophic calcification as a manifestation of the attempt to heal. In the present case, apicoectomy and tissue biopsy for histological evaluation were fundamental for the correct diagnosis.

The study of 4 cases of Xantogranulomatous Pyelonephritis (X. P.) and a review of the literature lead to the conclusions that X. P. is not an autonomous disease, but simply a stage in the development of subacute or chronic suppurative pyelonephritis. It depends on difficulty of drainage of necrotic material with increased cellular breakdown and liberation of lipids. These lipids are partly phagocitized by histiocytes, which become foamy as a result. At the same time the presence of this foreign material give rise to the formation of a granulomatous tissue. Further evolution towards fibrosis does not occur simultaneously throughout the kidney so that a mixed morphological picture can result. Xantogranulomas can coexist with suppurative areas or with completely sclerotic ones. In the end, when the replacement by connective tissue is completed, the morphological picture will be the same as with a common pyelonephritic atrophy. On the basis of this interpretation it is possible to suggest a convincing explanation about the low incidence of X. P., the absolute rarity of autoptic cases, the near constant localization in one kidney and the absence of changes in general lipid metabolism in every case where they have been thought.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of endodontic treatment and the quality of root canal fillings in Brazilian undergraduate dental students. The study was similar those conducted 10, 20, 30, and 40 years earlier. Methods: A total of 407 undergraduate dental students were evaluated by using questionnaires to identify endodontic treatments, with each treatment being radiographed for the analysis of the presence of a periapical radiolucency and the quality of the root canal filling. Results: Forty root canal fillings were found: 32 (80%) completely filled, seven (17.5%) incompletely filled, and one (2.5%) overfilled. Conclusion: This study showed a low prevalence of endodontic treatment in dentistry students, and the evaluated root canals that were filled were high quality, with few cases suggesting periapical lesions.

Objetivo: esta pesquisa objetiva avaliar a relação dos fatores socioeconômicos na ocorrência de cárie dentá -ria e analisar o impacto da implantação da Equipe de Saúde Bucal (ESB), comparando a necessidade de tratamento odontológico para cárie dentária de crianças acompanhadas com crianças não adscritas pela ESB, em uma população de crianças de 1 a 70 meses (0 a 5 anos). Sujeitos e método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo analítico que compreende o levantamento de dados socioeconômicos e de condições de saúde bucal de 150 crianças de 0 a 5 anos. Os sujeitos foram avalia-dos por um cirurgião-dentista calibrado os índices ceo-d e de necessidade de tratamento odontológico, bem como realizada entrevista com os pais ou responsáveis dos indivíduos para averiguação de dados acerca de alfabetização do chefe de família, abastecimento de água, renda familiar, número de pessoas no domicílio e renda per capita. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos, G1 (acesso à ESB) e G2 (não acesso). Resultados: a maioria das crianças avaliadas reside em domicílios com chefes de família alfabetizados e tem acesso ao abastecimento de água pela rede pública. O ceo-d médio de toda a amostra foi de 1,17 e a média do número de dentes com necessidade de tratamento foi de 0,74; 77% das crianças avaliadas apresentaram ceo-d igual a 0. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre o ceo-d dos dois grupos, contudo, o G1 apresentou um menor índice de necessidade de tratamento odontológico. Conclusões: a inclusão de ESB diminui as necessidades de tratamento odontológico, sendo recomendada, especialmente, à crianças com piores índices socioeconômicos.

These case reports aimed to describe the management of lateral perforation in the middle cervical third of the root in two maxillary incisors with pulp canal calcification using Bio-C Repair, with safe and viable clinical treatment strategies. Digital radiographic exams were obtained with different angles and analyzed using different filters. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were requested to show the actual position of the canal, location of the perforation, and guide the strategic planning of the case. Subsequently, cavity access was prepared with the aid of dental operating microscopy. After perforation was identified, granulation tissue was removed and the original canal was identified and then dressed with calcium hydroxide. In the second visit, the perforation was filled with Bio-C Repair and the canal system filled with gutta-percha points and a root canal sealer (Bio-C Sealer). The teeth were restored with glass fiber post, 4 mm beyond the perforation level, and provisory crowns. Both teeth treated as described above were functional and asymptomatic with a 1-year clinical and radiographic assessment. The Bio-C Repair is suggested as a new cement option for the management of lateral canal perforations, with effective results as observed after a one-year follow-up.
