Article Abstract
Orthodontics in Brazil underwent significant transformations in the 1950s when several dentists returned to the country after completing advanced education courses in the specialty abroad. The first two orthodontic associations, in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, were constituted in 1955 and 1959. The specialty's first event with characteristics of a professional meeting occurred in São Paulo in 1957, and Postgraduate Orthodontic education became available. This paper aims to describe the central insights of the constitution and evolving of the education of Orthodontics in Brazil.

Orthodontic retainers: are they all the same?
Dental Press J Orthod
January 2025
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, School of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics (Rio de Janeiro/RJ, Brazil).
Introduction: It is known that the stability of the results obtained with orthodontic treatment depends, in addition to the functional and aesthetic aspects, also on the adequate planning of the retention devices, the patient's compliance with this new phase, and the physiological changes that the human body experiences over the years, throughout the craniofacial aging process.
Objective: This article discusses the importance of the orthodontic retention phase and the influence of diagnosis, planning and execution of corrective treatment of malocclusions, in order to achieve the expected success.
Methods: Throughout the text, different types of retainers and approaches during this phase will be presented, with the aim of ensuring the stability of the results obtained after correcting problems in the vertical, transverse and anteroposterior directions.

Universidade de São Paulo - USP, School of Dentistry, Department of Operative Dentistry, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.

Dentistry School, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Background: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is one of the categories of non-plaque-induced gingival diseases of genetic origin. Current studies show high genetic heterogeneity and suggest that not all forms of HGF are the same and that more than one biological mechanism may result in gingival growth. This report presents a case of syndromic HGF with generalized and complex clinical manifestations associated with other conditions such as body hypertrichosis and hearing deficit.

J Oral Biol Craniofac Res
December 2024
Division of Oral Radiology, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the styloid process (TBSP) phenotype and to identify suggestive images of calcified atheromatous plaques (CAP) in panoramic radiographs of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT). Additionally, it aimed to analyze the association between the bone mineral status of patients with parathyroid diseases and the radiographic findings.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted with individuals diagnosed with PHPT (n = 25) and post-surgical hypoPT (n = 25).
