Portrait of training and worker health surveillance actions in Santa Catarina.

Introduction: Since 2005, the Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador in the state of Santa Catarina has promoted several training in Vigilância em Saúde do Trabalhador for public health inspectors in the state, so that they can intervene in potentially sick work environments.

Methods: Sample: 257 inspectors from 134 municipalities.

Tip and taper compatibility of accessory gutta-percha points with rotary and reciprocating instruments.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the tip and taper compatibility of accessory gutta-percha points (AGPs) with various rotary and reciprocating instruments.

Materials And Methods: Using a profile analyzer, tip and taper measurements were taken of 10 AGPs of each of the 14 models available from Odous de Deus and the 4 models available from Dentsply-Maillefer. Diameter measurements were taken at 1-mm intervals, from 3 mm from the tip (D3) to 16 mm.

LEVELS OF SALIVARY CORTISOL IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH BRUXISM DIAGNOSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

Objectives: To evaluate the levels of salivary cortisol in adults and children diagnosed with bruxism.

Methods: A search strategy was developed using the following terms: "cortisol", "bruxism" and "sleep bruxism". These were searched in databases: Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, LILACS and gray literature, for studies published until May 2020.

Imipramine treatment reverses depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors, normalize adrenocorticotropic hormone, and reduces interleukin-1β in the brain of rats subjected to experimental periapical lesion.

Background: A periodontal lesion is a consequence of chronic inflammatory processes, itself triggered by a bacterial infection of the pulpal and endodontic microenvironment. Evidence suggests that periodontal lesion induction could alter inflammatory cytokines leading to behavior changes. These effects in the context of anxiety and depressive behavior have been not full investigated.

Meta-analysis of magnetic resonance imaging accuracy for diagnosis of oral cancer.

Objective: To establish the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an auxiliary means for the diagnosis of oral cancer through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: An exhaustive search of publications from 1986 to 2016 was performed of Medline, Embase and Cochrane (and related databases), including grey literature. Primary diagnostic accuracy studies that assessed oral cancer (target condition) using MRI (index test) were included.
