Análise das intercorrências e complicações interferentes na instalação e perda primária dos implantes dentais osteointegráveis - um estudo retrospectivo / Analysis of intercurrences and complications interfering in the placement and primary loss of osseointegratable dental implants a retrospective study

Silva, Alessandro Costa da 09 October 2008 (has links)
Intrinsecamente, todo procedimento cirúrgico apresenta um certo índice de intercorrências e/ou complicações associadas. Hemorragias, infecções, parestesias ou disestesias e perda primária dos implantes são algumas das intercorrências e complicações mais comuns relacionadas a procedimentos cirúrgicos para implantodontia. Este estudo avaliou retrospectivamente o índice de intercorrências e complicações após cirurgia para a instalação de implantes dentais osteointegráveis. Foram avaliados, retrospectivamente, 660 prontuários clínicos de pacientes submetidos à instalação de implantes osteointegráveis no período 8 anos atendidos na Área de Cirurgia Buco-Maxilo-Facial da Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba - Unicamp. Os resultados demonstraram que houve um maior índice de intercorrências e complicações quando os pacientes eram atendidos por alunos de especialização (p= 0,015) e quando o exame por imagem realizado era somente a radiografia panorâmica convencional (p= 0,011). Os resultados demonstraram também um maior índice de intercorrências e complicações nos pacientes quando estes eram submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos de reconstrução óssea alveolar (p< 0,0001). A presença de infecção pós-operatória influenciou significativamente para o aumento no índice de perda primária de implantes (p< 0,0001). / Intrinsically, every surgical procedure presents a certain rate of associated intercurrences and/or complications. Hemorrhages, infections, paresthesias or dysesthesias and primary loss of implants are some of the most common intercurrences and complications related to surgical procedures in implant dentistry. This study conducted a retrospective evaluation of the rate of intercurrences and complications related to patients submitted to osseointegratable dental implant placement. A retrospective evaluation was made of 660 clinical record charts of patients submitted to osseointegratable dental implants in the period of 8 years, attended in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Piracicaba Dental School - Unicamp. The results showed that there was a higher rate of intercurrences and complications when patients were attended by residents (p= 0.015) and when the panoramic radiograph was the only preoperative image exam requested (p= 0.011). The results also showed a higher rate of intercurrences and complications in patients when they were submitted to surgical procedures of alveolar bone reconstruction (p< 0.0001). The presence of post-operative infection had a significant influence on the increase in the primary loss of implants (p< 0.0001).

Síntese, caracterização e avaliação do efeito bactericida de vidros bioativos com incorporação de prata

Queiroz, Antônia Patrícia de January 2017 (has links)
Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Juliana Marchi / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Nanociências e Materiais Avançados, 2017. / O vidro biocompatível pode ser utilizado como biomaterial para substituição e reconstituição óssea, por apresentar similaridade química com este tecido. Uma das principais complicações para a recuperação deste tecido ósseo é a ação da infecção bacteriana, que dificulta a utilização de um implante ósseo para corrigir o defeito deixado pela remoção do tecido infectado. Deste modo, torna-se desejável a introdução de um componente de ação antibacteriana para o tratamento da infecção do tecido através da distribuição de um agente bactericida como a prata, que foi incorporada na composição do vidro biocompatível estudado. Neste trabalho, foram desenvolvidas formulações de vidro do sistema ternário SiO2-CaO-P2O5 com incorporação de prata em diferentes concentrações (1, 5 e 10% em massa). As amostras foram obtidas pelo processamento via síntese sol-gel, e em seguida liofilizadas e calcinadas a 550°C. Os materiais foram caracterizados física e quimicamente, utilizando-se técnicas de análise térmica diferencial, análise termogravimétrica, difração de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, e ensaio de dissolução. Os materiais foram caracterizados biologicamente através da determinação da concentração inibitória mínima, concentração bactericida mínima e da avaliação da citotoxidade. Os resultados das análises físicas e químicas mostraram que os materiais são de natureza amorfa, com exceção do material com 10% em massa de prata, que apresentou formação de clusters de prata metálica. Todos os materiais apresentaram estrutura química dos grupos funcionais característicos de vidros biocompatíveis. Os resultados da caracterização biológica indicaram a eficácia da incorporação da prata como agente antibacteriano nos materiais estudados, o que afetou diretamente a toxicidade do material, onde algumas composições com maior teor de prata apresentaram citotoxicidade. Este efeito pode ser controlado através da diluição destas composições em veículos carreadores, obtendo-se desta forma um material promissor para ser utilizado na reconstrução óssea com associação do efeito bactericida. / Biocompatible glass can be used as biomaterial for bone replacement and reconstitution, because it presents chemical similarity with this tissue. One of the main complications for the bone tissue recovery is the action of bacterial infection, which difficult to the use of an orthopedic implant to correct the bone defect after removal of infected tissue. Thus, it the introduction of a component with antibacterial action is desirable for the treatment of tissue infection through the delivery of a bactericidal agent as a silver, which has been incorporated into the biocompatible glass composition studied. In this work, biocompatible glass formulations of the ternary systems SiO2-CaO-P2O5 with silver incorporation in different concentrations were developed (1, 5 and 10% w/w). The samples were obtained by sol-gel synthesis, and then lyophilized and calcined at 550° C. The materials was were characterized chemically and physically by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, X ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and dissolution test. The materials were characterized biologically by determination of minimum inhibitory concentration, minimal bactericidal concentration and cytotoxicity evaluation. The results of the physical and chemical analysis showed the amorphous nature of materials, except for the silver-incorpored material with 10%, which presented formation of metallic silver clusters in the matrix where crystallization took place. In addition, all the materials studied presented chemical structure of the characteristic functional groups of biocompatible glasses. The results of biological characterization of the materials indicated the effectiveness of the silver incorporation as antibacterial agent in the studied materials, which directly affected the toxicity of the material, where some compositions with higher silver content in the material presented cytotoxicity. This effect can be controlled by diluting these compositions in carrier vehicles, thereby obtaining a promising material to be used as bone reconstruction with association of the antibacterial effect.

The stability of EMG median frequency under different muscle contraction conditions and following anterior cruciate ligament injury

Li, Che Tin Raymond January 2004 (has links)
Musculoskeletal injuries are commonly associated with muscle atrophy as a function of immobilization or change of normal function. For example, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) which may involve ligament reconstruction, results in the "quadriceps avoidance" gait which leads to atrophy of the knee extensormuscles. In these situations it is not clear whether or not the atrophy is associated with loss of specific muscle fibre types with accompanying functional deficits. Such knowledge would be helpful in implementing exercise regimes designed to compensate for loss of particular fibre types. It is believed that isokinetic exercise performed at speeds below 180° per second strengthens type I muscle fibres, and type II fibres at fast speeds. However, there is no evidence to indicate the specific muscle fibre response to different rates of muscle contraction. Identification of muscle fibre type is most directly determined by biopsy technique but is too invasive for a routine measurement. Electromyography median frequency has been used as a non-invasive measure to infer muscle fibre composition in various studies. However, the reliability and accuracy of this technique has been questioned and improvement is necessary. This research was designed to provide a more accurate and reliable protocol for the determination of EMG median frequency which may be used, after validation against more direct biopsy techniques, as a routine method for inferring muscle fibre composition. The investigation also explored the muscular response as measured by EMG median frequency to varying speeds of muscle contraction, fatiguing exercise and atrophy following ACL reconstruction. The ultimate aim of this research was to improve the reliability of the determination of EMG median frequency to enhance its application as a predictor of muscle fibre composition. This provides information which may improve ACL rehabilitation programs designed to restore and prevent specific muscle fibre types loss that have not previously been targeted by current rehabilitation programs. This research was conducted in three studies. Study one determined the stability of the EMG median frequency bilaterally for the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles and identified the mode of contraction associated with the greatest reliability. The strength and EMG median frequency of the vastus lateralis, medial hamstrings and vastus medialis of 55 subjects was determined across 5 speeds from 0° to 240° per second using a Kin-Com isokinetic dynamometer and an EMG data acquisition system. Isometric contraction was found to have the least bilateral discrepancy (4.01% ±3.06) and between trials standard deviation (4.50) in the vastus lateralis, medial hamstrings and vastus medialis. Study two investigated the EMG median frequency changes in the vastus lateralis which occur immediately following different speeds of isokinetic exercise to the point of fatigue in normal subjects. Thirty-four subjects participated in the study, and performed a 90-second period of isokinetic exercise to activate the knee extensors at either 30° or 300° per second. EMG median frequency of the vastus lateralis was determined before, immediately after and 7 minutes after the fatiguing exercise. The percentage drop in EMG median frequency of the vastus medialis was gnificantly (p<0.05) greater after slow speed (27.9%) than fast speed (20.25%) exercise, while no significant difference was found for the percentage drop in extension torque. Full recovery was found 7 minutes after the fatiguing exercise. By reference to previous research showing a relationship between EMG median frequency and muscle fibre type, an increase in activation of type I muscle fibres with slow speed exercise and an increase in type II muscle fibres with fast speed exercise was observed. Study three identified the changes in EMG median frequency following ACL reconstruction and evaluated the bilateral differences in EMG median frequency of the knee muscles. The relationships between EMG median frequency and the measures of knee functional ability, knee muscle strength, age and time since surgery were also investigated. Twelve subjects who had undergone ACL reconstruction using a semitendinosus and gracilis graft 6 to 12 months earlier, participated in the study. EMG median frequency was determined from an 8-second isometric contraction and knee functional ability was assessed using the Cincinnati Rating Scale. Bilateral EMG median frequency shifts were inconsistent among subjects. On the basis of previous research which indicated a relationship between EMG median frequency and fibre type, no consistent pattern of muscular fibre type atrophy subsequent to ACL reconstruction occurred within 6 to 12 months (ranged from -43 to 57 Hz). Additionally, no significant correlations were found between the EMG median frequency and the knee functional score and knee extension and flexion torques, age, time since operation and the bilateral differences in EMG median frequency. The results of this investigation will serve to improve the reliability of EMG median frequency across a range of conditions in which it has been evaluated. Further research is needed to confirm the relationship between EMG median frequency and direct observations of muscle fibre composition to improve the predictive value of this measure. Following this validation it will be possible to evaluate the bilateral EMG median frequency shift to infer the type of muscle fibre atrophy, and use this measure in determining the efficacy of specific rehabilitation programs. In conclusion * An 8-second isometric contraction is recommended for determining EMG median frequency. * EMG median frequency of a muscle decreases significantly more after slow fatiguing exercise than after fast speed fatiguing exercise. * There was no generalised bilateral EMG median frequency shift found in a group of subjects 6 to 12 months following semitendinosus and gracilis graft ACL reconstruction. * The results of this study will serve to improve the reliability of procedures used to determine EMG median frequency under a range of different contractile conditions. The EMG median frequency changes in response to these conditions require further validations with muscle biopsy in future.
