“…The results of these studies have highlighted variations in diabetic patients in the diameter and increased tortuosity of the capillaries in proportion to the duration of metabolic decompensation. Other studies have shown that changes in the microcirculation of the conjunctival mucosa, as observed in vivo through capillaroscopy, are always present before retinal angiopathy (once considered an early sign of diabetes) [ 7 – 14 ].…”

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a chronic degenerative systemic disease whose prevalence is increasing. This paper aims to evaluate the effects of diabetic microangiopathy, depending on its duration and the type of treatment administered, by using polarized light videocapillaroscopy of the oral mucosa.Material/MethodsWe enrolled 120 subjects: 60 healthy subjects and 60 patients with diabetes mellitus. In turn, patients were divided into 3 subgroups according to the type of diabetes, the duration of the disease, and the type of treatment administered. A videocapillaroscopic examination of the oral mucosa was carried out on the diabetic and healthy subjects.ResultsChanges in microcirculation were detected in diabetic patients: at the level of the labial, buccal, and lingual mucosa, the density of the loops is on average reduced; there is an increase in the length and the total diameter of the loops, while the average density of the periodontal capillaries is much higher. The most significant changes were noted in patients who had had type 1 diabetes for more than 10 years and had received insulin therapy.ConclusionsThis study, performed using polarized light videocapillaroscopy, which for the first time was used to analyze the capillaries of the oral mucosa in patients with diabetes, confirms the presence of changes that are instrumentally “objectifiable” and “quantifiable” through the videocapillaroscopic technique. Videocapillaroscopy can be a reliable method in the study and monitoring of complications in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.

“…Dental age estimation in forensic cases may include adoption, human trafficking, asylum seekers, legal imputation, and identification of the deceased ( 12 - 18 ). Clinical applications include treatment planning and timing of therapeutic procedures in Orthodontics, Paediatric Dentistry, and Special Care in Dentistry, among other fields ( 19 - 22 ). In general, the studies that subsequently tested the application of the London Atlas for international practice sampled panoramic radiographs ( 2 - 8 ) – as these are retrospectively obtained from existing image databases in observational studies.…”

Background Assessing the dental development of children and adolescents is an important part of treatment planning. The radiographic visualization of dental developmental stages prior to age estimation is currently feasible by means of digital software apps. Testing the existing software tools is necessary to safeguard application in practice. This study applied the London Atlas Software App 2nd edition™ for dental age estimation in Brazilian children. Material and Methods The software was applied to 1.104 digital panoramic radiographs of females (n = 509) and males (n = 595) with ages between 6 and 15.99 years (mean = 10.88 ± 2.84 years). The sample included at least 100 individuals similarly distributed based on sex within 10 age categories of one year each (6├ 15.99) years. Metrics of errors were quantified between the estimated (EA) and chronological (CA) ages. Results The mean absolute errors among females and males were 0.56 and 0.60 years, respectively (overall = 0.58 years for the combined sample). The lower error values were observed in the age interval of 6 ├ 9.99 years. Error values above one year were detected in older age intervals (10 ├ 15.99 years). Statistically significant differences in dental development were not observed between females and males ( p > 0.05). Conclusions The London Atlas Software App 2nd edition led to specific error rates that can be acceptable for case-specific clinical applications. In the forensic field, caution is advised if the application is planned in the transition between late childhood and early adolescence – when third molars play a major role among the scarce developing teeth. Key words: Brazil, children, dental age estimation, forensic dentistry, radiology.

“…The available scientific literature suggests that human teeth resist biological alterations 1 . More specifically, case‐control studies revealed lack of statistically significant differences between controlled subjects and paired groups of subjects with HIV, 21 diabetes, 22 and cleft lip and palate 23 . Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), on the other hand, is a rare genomic condition that manifests and impacts on tooth morphology and enamel structure 24 .…”

Aims:To assess dental maturation in children with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and compare their estimated dental age with the age of non-AI children. Methods and results:Panoramic radiographs of children with (n = 27) and without (n = 54) AI were retrospectively collected in the ratio of 1:2. The former consisted of case group, while the latter figured as control group. Both groups were paired by sex and age (P > .05). Dental maturation was assessed in each radiograph using Demirjian's staging technique and Willems' method. Intra-and interexaminer reproducibility reached >0.8. The mean estimated dental age in subjects with AI was 12.5 ± 2.69 years, while in subjects without AI it was 11.73 ± 2.48 years (P = .21). The comparison of mean chronological (12.26 ± 2.6 years) and estimated dental age (12.5 ± 2.69 years) in subjects with AI did not reveal statistically significant differences (P = .38). Conclusion:This study highlights the similarity of dental maturation between subjects with and without AI from the radiographic perspective of crown-root formation.
