Para a realização desse traumatismo foi utilizado um tensiômetro, com uma das suas extremidades adaptada para exercer um impacto sobre o primeiro molar superior. O tensiômetro foi fixado em um suporte de metal com a finalidade de padronizar a direção da aplicação da força e posicionar corretamente sua extremidade sobre o primeiro molar superior. Aplicou-se um trauma no sentido ocluso-gengival de 600 gramas sobre a região oclusal do primeiro molar superior direito de 10 ratos, correspondente à aproximadamente 600cN. Em seguida os animais foram mortos e a maxila direita coletada para análise microscópica do tecido pulpar e o ligamento periodontal da raiz mesial do primeiro molar superior. A análise microscópica demonstrou que a força de 600cN não se mostrou efetiva para promover alterações no ligamento periodontal, polpa e raiz. Por outro lado, demonstrou que um trauma de intensidade menor como a concussão, não promove alterações no ligamento periodontal, e por sua vez não representa um problema para o ortodontista. / This study has as purpose to present a method for study of the dentoalveolar traumatism, using a device capable to promote a traumatism maintaining the same intensity and sense of application of the force on molars of rats, and in that way, to be used as a method of experimental study in the induced movement of teeth previously traumatized. For the accomplishment of that traumatism a gauge was used, with one of their extremities adapted to exercise an impact on the first superior molar. The gauge was fastened in a metal support with the purpose of to standardize the direction of the application of the force and to position his extremity correctly adapted on the first superior molar. A injury was applied in the ocluso-gingival sense on the vestibular crest of the first right superior molar of 10 rats with force of 600 grams, corresponding to the approximately 600cN. Soon afterwards the animals were died and the right maxillary bone collected for histological analysis of the pulpal and the periodontal ligament of the root mesial of the first superior molar. The histological analysis demonstrated that the force of 600cN was not shown executes to promote alterations in the periodontal ligament, pulp and root, on the other hand it demonstrated that a trauma of smaller intensity as the concussion, doesn't promote alterations in the periodontal ligament, and for his time it doesn't represent a problem for the orthodontist.

PROPOSIÇÃO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever as alterações das dimensões dos arcos dentários e das inclinações dos incisivos produzidas pelo Sistema Damon, durante a fase de alinhamento e nivelamento. Outro objetivo foi verificar a correlação destas alterações com o padrão de crescimento dos indivíduos. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: modelos de estudo, telerradiografias convencionais e telerradiografias reconstruídas a partir de tomografias computadorizadas cone-beam de 22 casos tratados com o bráquetes Damon 3MXTM foram avaliados durante a fase de alinhamento e nivelamento. Os modelos de estudo foram obtidos ao início do tratamento (T0), após a primeira troca de fio (T1) e na inserção do fio de aço 0,019 x 0,025 (T2). Foram verificados os comprimentos de arco e as dimensões transversais nas regiões de caninos, primeiros e segundos pré-molares e primeiros molares mensuradas a partir das pontas de cúspides e margens gengivais linguais dos dentes, a cada etapa. Nas telerradiografias foram verificadas as alterações das inclinações dos incisivos inferiores e superiores, bem como o padrão de crescimento dos indivíduos. RESULTADOS: os comprimentos dos arcos e todas as distâncias transversais apresentaram aumentos significantes, com exceção da distância intercervical dos caninos superiores; houve aumento significante das inclinações vestibulares dos incisivos superiores e inferiores; o padrão de crescimento dos pacientes apresentou correlação significante com os aumentos transversais na região de pré-molares inferiores. CONCLUSÕES: o alinhamento e nivelamento de casos tratados sem extrações com o uso do Sistema Damon resultou no aumento significante das dimensões dos arcos dentários e das inclinações dos incisivos para vestibular. / OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the dental arch widths and incisor torque changes produced by the Damon System during leveling and alignment. Other objective was to verify the correlation between these changes and the growth pattern. MATHERIAL AND METHODS: study casts and lateral radiographs derived from cone-beam computed tomographies of 22 subjects treated with Damon 3MXTM brackets were evaluated. The study casts were obtained at the start of treatment (T0), the first archwire change (T1), and the placement of the final 0,019 x 0,025-in archwire (T2). Arch depth and widths (intercanine, interpremolar and intermolar) were assessed at each stage. The incisor torques changes and the growth pattern were measured on the cephalometric records at T0 and T2. RESULTS: There was significant increase of the arch depths and lateral expansion of the arches for all measures, except for the intercervical of maxillary canines. The maxillary and mandibular incisors were significantly tipped labially; the growth pattern showed significant correlation with the lateral increases in lower premolars region. CONCLUSIONS: nonextraction cases treated with Damon System show significant increases in arch dimensions and incisors proclination.

The current study investigated the distribution of periodontal epithelial cells and nerve fibres within the furcations of rat maxillary molar teeth subjected to hypothermic injury. The upper right first molars of 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a single 20 minute application of dry ice in order to produce aseptic necrosis within the periodontal ligament, while the contralateral first molar served as an untreated control. Five animals were each sacrificed via cardiac perfusion after 7, 10, 14, 18, 21 and 28 days respectively and the maxillae were dissected out. After fixation in paraformaldehyde and processing, the tissues were embedded in paraffin wax and cut into 7µm serial coronal sections through the furcation region. Consecutive sections were then stained with H&E, cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and PGP 9.5 immunostains. Light microscopic examination of the H&E stained sections revealed that ankylosis had not developed in all of the experimental teeth, and in some of the observation groups fewer teeth were ankylosed than unaffected. The morphology of the ankylotic areas appeared to change with time, initially consisting of fine bony trabeculae, then progressing to solid bone occupying the entire furcation before becoming less solid again by the latest observation periods. Root resorption was often seen adjacent to areas of ankylosis, but the cementum of the tooth root at the point of ankylotic union was usually intact and free of resorption. Changes within the pulp chambers of the experimental teeth were also noted, with reduction in cellularity and tissue disorganisation initially, then increasing cellularity and formation of a cementum-like material on the chamber walls later. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 immunostaining successfully identified epithelial cells within the periodontal ligament and their distribution around control teeth was similar to previous reports. Counting of these cells revealed lower numbers around experimental teeth, with the lowest counts around experimental teeth which had developed ankylosis. No change in the epithelial cell counts was detected over time, and these cells did not appear to regenerate after necrosis regardless of whether or not ankylosis developed. Statistical analysis indicated that the probability of ankylosis decreased as the number of epithelial cells increased. The PGP 9.5 immunostain identified periodontal nerve fibres, but the use of this stain was quite technique sensitive. The furcations of the molar teeth were noted to have relatively sparse innervation, with most of the visible nerve fibres being closely associated with blood vessels and located in the outer two-thirds of the ligament. Counting of the nerve fibres revealed fewer fibres around experimental teeth compared to control teeth, especially in the part of the ligament closest to the tooth root. There was no relationship detected between nerve count and time or between nerve and epithelial cell counts. Resorption was found to be more prevalent in experimental teeth, and the probability of resorption in a given tooth decreased as the epithelial cell count increased. The findings of this study suggest that the epithelial cells within the periodontal ligament have a protective function in the prevention of dentoalveolar ankylosis and resorption. Evidence of an intimate interrelationship between periodontal nerve fibre and epithelial cell numbers could not be confirmed. The null hypothesis that epithelial cell rests of Malassez do not provide a protective function against ankylosis and external root resorption was rejected, and the null hypothesis that nerve fibres and epithelial cells are not inter-dependent was retained. / http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1297409 / Thesis (D.Clin.Dent.) -- School of Dentistry, 2007

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been prescribed for the evaluation of unerupted teeth, and ankylosis is an important characteristic to be observed in the analysis of these teeth. The objective of this research was to establish diagnostic criteria, using pixel intensity in CBCT and associate with clinical and demographic factors. The pixel intensity value was performed by two analyzes. The first (analyze 1) evaluated the mean pixel intensity in different regions of the dento-alveolar complex in normal and ankylosis areas. The second (analyze 2) was observed the variation of pixel intensity values in two normal areas and one of ankylosis. Data were analyzed statistically by means of absolute and relative frequency measurements; odds ratio, Chi-square. The t-test was used to compare the means of pixel intensity. One hundred and fifty-seven CBCT exams of individuals with unerupeted or partially erupted teeth with suspected ankylosis were evaluated, totaling 206 teeth. Fifty-seven teeth (27.6%) had a presumptive diagnosis of ankylosis and were evaluated using pixel intensity value. In analysis 1, it was observed that the values of alveolar bone in the normal and ankylosis areas, practically have the same variability of pixel intensity value (t-test = 0.07). When comparing the density of normal PDL with the ankylosis area, a higher density is observed (t-test p <0.001). When compared to the alveolar bone interface with PDL and alveolar bone with ankylosis area, it is observed that the intensity of the pixels in the ankylosis region is greater than in the normal area (t-test p <0.001). In analysis 2, it was observed that there was a marked reduction of pixel intensity value in the PDL area, which did not occur in the ankylosis areas. Considering the clinical and demographic factors, the occurrence in individuals over 20 years old was 72.5%, and less or equal to 20 years was 27.5% (odds ratio 1.8 95% CI 0.87-3.73), and 77.2% (n = 44) were in the upper arch. The mesioangular inclination was observed in 49.1% (n = 28), and the association between impaction and dental ankylosis was not observed (p = 0.44 Chi-square). The cervical and middle thirds of root were the most affected, 38.6% and 35.1%, respectively. It was possible to observe ankylosis in 22 teeth (38.6%) in three multiplanar reconstructions. In summary, the results suggest that the CBCT examination allows the diagnosis of ankylosis and the analysis of the pixel intensity values and their variability are an important digital tool for the interpretation and diagnosis process. / Anquilose dentária constitui uma desordem, em que ocorre a fusão total ou parcial do cemento ou dentina ao osso alveolar, pela ausência do ligamento periodontal (LPD), podendo evoluir para a reabsorção por substituição. O exame de tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (TCFC) tem sido prescrito para a avaliação de dentes não irrompidos, sendo a anquilose uma característica importante a ser observada na análise desses dentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estabelecer critérios de diagnóstico, utilizando intensidade de pixel em TCFC e associar com fatores clínicos e demográficos. A análise de intensidade de pixel foi realizada por meio de duas análises. A primeira (análise 1) avaliou a média de intensidade de pixel em diferentes regiões do complexo dento-alveolar em áreas normais e de anquilose. A segunda (análise 2) observou a variação dos valores de intensidade de pixel em duas áreas normais e uma de anquilose. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio de medidas de análise de frequência absoluta e relativa; odds ratio, Qui-quadrado. O teste-t foi utilizado para comparação das médias de intensidade de pixel. Cento e cinquenta e sete exames TCFC de indivíduos com dentes não irrompidos ou parcialmente irrompidos e com suspeita de anquilose, foram avaliados, totalizando 206 dentes. Cinquenta e sete dentes (27,6%) possuíam diagnóstico presuntivo de anquilose, e foram avaliados por meio da intensidade de pixel. Na análise 1, observou-se que os valores de osso alveolar na área normal e de anquilose, possuem praticamente a mesma variabilidade de intensidade de cinza (Teste-t p=0,07). Quando comparado a densidade do LPD normal com a área de anquilose, observa-se uma maior densidade (Teste-t p<0,001). Quando comparado a interface osso alveolar com LPD e osso alveolar com área de anquilose, observase que a intensidade dos pixels na região da anquilose é maior do que da área normal (Teste-t p<0,001). Na análise 2, observou-se que havia uma redução acentuada da intensidade de pixel na área do LPD, o que não ocorreu nas áreas de anquilose. Considerando os fatores clínicos e demográficos, a ocorrência em pacientes acima de 20 anos foi de 72,5%, e menor ou igual a 20 anos foi de 27,5% (Odds ratio 1,8 IC95% 0,87-3,73), sendo que 77,2% (n=44) foi localizada na arcada superior. A inclinação mesioangular foi observada em 49,1% (n=28), e não foi constatada a associação entre impacção e anquilose dentária (p=0,44 Quiquadrado). Os terços cervical e médio radiculares foram os mais acometidos, 38,6% e 35,1%, respectivamente. Foi possível observar anquilose em 22 dentes (38,6%), em três reconstruções multiplanares. Em síntese, os resultados sugerem que o exame de TCFC permite o diagnóstico de anquilose e a análise dos valores de pixel e sua variabilidade, constituem uma ferramenta auxiliar importante para o processo de interpretação e diagnóstico.
