Objective The aim of this study was to correlate different combinations of manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) concentration in drinking water with prevalence of dental caries in both primary and permanent dentition, among school children with similar socio-demographic characteristics. Methods Evros region, in North-Eastern Greece, was divided into four areas, according to combinations of levels of Mn and Fe in drinking water (High Mn-high Fe; High Mn-low Fe; Low Mn-high Fe; Low Mn-low Fe). Children of similar socio-economic background, attending either first or sixth grade (primary or permanent dentition, respectively) of elementary schools, were clinically assessed for caries by three dentists. Caries was defined by the use of dmft/DMFT index. A questionnaire answered by the parents was also analysed. Results 573 children were included. Caries prevalence was high in both age groups (64.2 % with mean dmft 3.3 ± 3.6 in primary and 60.7 % with mean DMFT 2.3 ± 2.5 in permanent dentition, respectively). Residence in a high Mn-low Fe area was associated with a significant OR for caries in both age groups [OR (95 % CIs) for primary and permanent dentition was, respectively, 3.75 (1.68-8.37), p = 0.001 and 3.09 (1.48-6.44), p = 0.003], independently of factors like sugar consumption or brushing frequency. Conclusion Prevalence of caries was high in general, and was associated with the combination of high Mn/low Fe levels in drinking water, independently of various sociodemographic factors.

“…In the absence of restorations, it is important to consider the dental anatomy, bone trabeculae, pathologies and periodontal tissue features, especially in the face of DMFT reduction and improvement of oral health indexes observed in developed countries and in the Brazilian population [13][14] . It is expected that with increased access to oral health services and adequate ethical practice, an increase in the quality of patients' records should occur with a greater number of data and dental documents.…”

Periapical X-rays are the most common complementary tests in the dental clinic. The indication of image tests in forensic identification RESUMOAs radiografias periapicais são os exames complementares mais frequentes na clínica odontológica. A indicação de exames de imagens na identificação forense depende da qualidade das radiografias produzidas. A edição digital de radiografias convencionais pode melhorar a qualidade de imagem. O presente trabalho consiste em relatar a potencial contribuição do processamento digital de filmes radiográficos através de relato de caso de identificação positiva por radiografias periapicais editadas digitalmente. Os resultados dos exames antropológicos e dos arcos dentários da vítima correspondiam às informações cedidas pelos familiares sobre a pessoa desaparecida. As radiografias periapicais antemortem e postmortem foram digitalizadas em scanner fotográfico (HP Development Company, HP ScanJet G4050 Photo, Estados Unidos) e as imagens processadas no programa de edição Corel PaintShop Pro X4 (Corel® Corporation, v14, Canadá). A comparação das imagens digitais das radiografias periapicais antemortem e postmortem permitiu determinar 8 pontos concordantes no contorno e delimitação do seio maxilar e das estruturas dentária e periodontal do elemento 17. A identificação do indivíduo foi possível mediante a edição digital das radiografias em programa de computador. A edição da permitiu ajustar imagens de brilho, contraste e nitidez e cores de temperatura e saturação das imagens das estruturas dento-maxilares. Esse recurso tecnológico contribuiu de forma efetiva para a identificação positiva realizada pela Odontologia Legal.Termos de indexação: Identificação forense. Imagem digital. Radiografias.

Aim: To present the report of a female patient, 10 years old, referred for treatment in the Dentistry Clinic of a Brazilian public university.Case report: The patient's oral health condition was unfavorable with biofilm accumulation, pain report and chewing difficulty. After anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examination, the treatment plan included removal of infectious foci (54, 55, 64, 65, 74, 75, 85, 16, 36 and 46) followed by prosthetic rehabilitation. At this stage, the functional restoration of the lower arch was restricted by the imminent eruption of the premolars. In the upper arch, the maintenance of the mesio-distal diameters aims to guarantee the chronological sequence of successors irruption and establishment of normal occlusion. During the monthly follow-up consultations the patient presents a more spontaneous smile, although she still needs constant reinforcement in oral hygiene habits. Conclusions:The rehabilitation of patients with loss of permanent teeth during the mixed dentition phase should consider the peculiarities of this period for the restoration of health without altering the normal pattern of occlusal development.
