Multidisciplinary Treatment: Follow-Up of Dental Autotransplantation for 10 Years.

The objective is to present a clinical case of dental autotransplantation managed with surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and aesthetic rehabilitation. A 10-year-old boy sought treatment after avulsion of the maxillary left central incisor, which was not reimplanted. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and complementary examinations, agenesis of the maxillary and mandibular second premolars except the mandibular right second premolar was observed.

Evaluation of Dental Enamel Thickness in Maxillary Teeth of and by Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Tooth enamel thickness is widely studied in primates and is important in differentiating taxa and in interpreting diet and feeding behavior. The objective of this study was to measure enamel thickness and discuss whether the results can be associated with different feeding patterns. Thirty-four syncraniums of , , and were subjected to cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scans, and the dental enamel was measured in different regions of the crown using the multiplanar reconstruction tool.

Cone-beam computed tomography study of mandibular morphology and tooth compensation in asymmetrical patients.

Introduction: This study evaluated mandibular morphology and transverse dental compensation between symmetrical and asymmetrical subjects, allocated according to sagittal skeletal patterns. In addition, the hypothesis that mandibular morphology and dental compensations differed between symmetrical/asymmetrical groups and also among the different types of sagittal skeletal patterns was tested.

Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 96 patients were included in this study and were divided into 2 groups according to the degree of menton deviation: a symmetrical group with deviation up to 2.

Prevalence and description of dental disorders in skulls of free-living wild primates from Paraná State, Brazil.

Background: Non-human primates can present oral diseases. However, differences among the dentition of the various species make it difficult to understand their dental features and associated diseases. This research hypothesizes that the prevalence of dental disorders varies in the species studied according to distinct types of diet.

IRF6, MSX1, TGFA, dental anomalies, and skeletal malocclusion.

Objective: Verify the presence of association between four variables-transforming growth factor α (TGFA; C/T rs1523305), interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6; A/C rs2013162), muscle segment homeobox 1 (MSX1; A/G rs12532), and dental anomalies-with skeletal malocclusion by comparing these four variables with Angle Classes I, II, and III, and normal, hyperdivergent, and hypodivergent growth patterns.

Methods: A total of 505 orthodontic records of patients older than 8 years were evaluated. The sample consisted of 285 (56.

The characteristics of palate and upper dental arch can be an anatomical marker for men with schizophrenia? Case-control study: Palate can be a marker for schizophrenia?

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare individuals with and without schizophrenia through the characteristics of the palate, such as width, length, depth, palate shape, and upper dental arch shape.

Methods And Results: The sample was divided into one case group (n = 45) and two control groups (n = 90; 45 individuals each group). Groups were paired by variables: sex, age, and malocclusion type.

Are temporomandibular disorders associated with facial asymmetry? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess scientific evidence of the association between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and facial asymmetry (FA).

Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA checklist. A search strategy was developed in electronic databases including MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library and Cochrane Library until January 2020.

Radiographic analysis of dental maturation in children with amelogenesis imperfecta: A case-control study.

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.

New methodology for evaluating osteoclastic activity induced by orthodontic load.

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a dynamic process of bone modeling involving osteoclast-driven resorption on the compression side. Consequently, to estimate the influence of various situations on tooth movement, experimental studies need to analyze this cell. Objectives The aim of this study was to test and validate a new method for evaluating osteoclastic activity stimulated by mechanical loading based on the fractal analysis of the periodontal ligament (PDL)-bone interface.

Effect of growth hormone in experimental tooth movement.

The aim of this study was to evaluate, by histological analysis, the effect of growth hormone (GH) on periodontal ligament and alveolar bone during experimental tooth movement in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats divided into control (C) and experimental (E) groups were examined after 3, 7, 14 and 21 days under controlled climate conditions. Orthodontic force (30 cN) was applied on the maxillary first molar by an orthodontic appliance.

Friction between different wire bracket combinations in artificial saliva--an in vitro evaluation.

Objective: The objective this work was to assess the friction coefficient between brackets and wires of different materials under conditions simulating the oral environment.

Material And Methods: Stainless steel (SS) and titanium-molybdenum alloy (TMA) wires of 0.019x0.

Space closure after extraction of two central upper incisors and re-shaping of laterals.

A 13-year-old boy had fractured both maxillary central incisors when he was 8 years old, resulting in pulpar damage. At the time of the accident, root canal therapy was performed. Although the teeth were retrieved, their roots were short and not fully developed.

The use of lidocaine as an anti-inflammatory substance: a systematic review.

Objective: To investigate existence of evidence that supports the therapeutical use of lidocaine as an anti-inflammatory substance.

Methods: A search on health sciences databases was performed, including only papers published in English until May 2007 which reported in vivo experimental studies that tested lidocaine as an anti-inflammatory substance and used morphological and/or biochemical analysis. The keywords used were: "lidocaine & inflammation", "lidocaine & neutrophils" and "lidocaine & prostaglandin".
