Com o objetivo de avaliar a influência do processo de cicatrização óssea sobre o desempenho biomecânico de mini-parafusos utilizados como ancoragem em ortodontia, foram inseridos 60 mini-parafusos (1,6 x 6mm) auto-rosqueantes (Tomas® Dentaurum / Germany) na maxila e na mandíbula de 5 cães adultos da Raça Beagle. Os pré-molares (P1, P2, P3, P4) superiores e inferiores foram extraídos três meses antes da inserção vertical dos mini-parafusos. Os cães foram sacrificados nos dias 0, 2, 7, 15 e 30 após a instalação dos mini-parafusos. Os maxilares foram dissecados e os corpos de provas contendo os mini-parafusos foram preparados para avaliação da resistência à tração na Máquina de Ensaios Universal EMIC® 2000, utilizando uma garra desenvolvida especificamente para este estudo. Os valores e gráficos correspondentes ao desempenho mecânico foram imediatamente gerados e registrados pelo programa de aquisição Tesc 3.01®. As possíveis diferenças entre os períodos de cicatrização foram avaliadas pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e pelo teste de comparações múltiplas de Bonferroni. Os resultados demonstraram um índice de sucesso de 100% dos mini-parafusos inseridos. Após a dissecação dos segmentos ósseos, verificou-se que em alguns casos a superfície da rosca ficou parcialmente exposta, razão pela qual o cálculo da resistência à tração (média na maxila de: 141,76 ± 92,82 Ncm a 237,02 ± 78,34 Ncm e média na mandíbula de: 156,86 ± 75,55 Ncm a 328,76 ± 82,17 Ncm) foi feito em relação à área real de inserção (maxila: 24,01 ± 6,09mm2 e mandíbula: 22,88 ± 5,31mm2), observando-se um valor médio por mm2 significativamente maior na mandíbula (11,60 ± 5,22 Ncm) quando comparado à maxila (8,22 ± 5,04 Ncm). A relação entre a intensidade da força de tração (Ncm), superfície inserida (mm2) e períodos de cicatrização não apresentaram diferenças significantes (p= 0,126). Com base nestes resultados podemos concluir que os mini-parafusos avaliados demonstraram excelente desempenho biomecânico nos diferentes períodos de cicatrização analisados, apresentando maior resistência à tração no osso mandibular. / With the purpose of evaluating the influence of bone healing process on the biomechanical performance of mini-screws used as anchorage in orthodontics, 60 self-tapping (Tomas® - Dentaurum / Germany) mini-screws were inserted (1.6 x 6 mm) in the maxilla and in the mandible of 5 adult Beagle dogs. Upper and lower premolars (P1, P2, P3, P4) were extracted three months before the vertical insertion of mini-screws. The dogs were sacrified on days 0, 2, 7, 15 and 30 after the insertion of mini-screws. The jaws were dissected and the bone blocks, containing the miniscrews, were prepared to the axial pull-out strength in the Universal Testing Machine EMIC ® 2000, using a device developed specifically for this study. The values and graphics for the mechanical performance were immediately generated and recorded by the acquisition program. The clinical success rate of mini-screws was 100%. The possible differences between the healing periods were analyzed by Bonferroni´s multiple test comparisons and variance analysis (ANOVA). After the dissection of the bone segments, it was found that in some cases, the mini-screw thread was not fully inserted into the bone, reason why the pull-out strength (average of the maxilla: 141.76 ± 92.82 Ncm to 237.02 ± 78.34 Ncm and average in the mandible of 156.86 ± 75.55 Ncm to 328.76 ± 82.17 Ncm) was evaluated in relation to the real area of insertion (maxilla: 24.01 ± 6.09 mm2 and mandible: 22.88 ± 5.31 mm2). Mean value/mm2 were significantly higher in the mandible (11.60 ± 5.22 Ncm/mm2) than the maxilla (8.22 ± 5.04 Ncm/mm2). There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0126) between pull-out strength (Ncm), surface inserted (mm2) and the observed healing periods. Based on these results it can be concluded that mini-screws evaluated in this study demonstrated an excellent biomechanical behavior in all different periods of healing, showing more resistance to traction in the mandibular bone.

Menos estudados que os sítios de naufrágios, porém não menos importantes, os sítios depositários são notáveis fontes de documentação arqueológica. A Enseada da Praia do Farol da Ilha do Bom Abrigo, localizada no litoral sul do Estado de São Paulo, é um ótimo ancoradouro natural, um sítio depositário por excelência formado a partir da utilização social desse pequeno espaço geográfico. Esse processo de utilização-ocupação, de longa duração, vem ocorrendo desde o início do século XVI e é o principal responsável pela formação do registro arqueológico submerso. Adotando método de pesquisa com utilização de técnicas pouco interventivas, o que se mostrou bastante eficaz, conseguiu-se buscar, registrar e identificar diversos artefatos submersos, perdidos ou descartados, no leito da enseada. A partir dos achados foi possível realizar diversas inferências a cerca da relação existente entre o homem e esse ancoradouro não edificado, mas totalmente inserido na história da navegação feita ao longo da costa sul paulista. / Less studied than the shipwreck sites, however not less important, the depository sites are remarkable sources of archaeological documentation. The Cove of the Lighthouse Beach in Bom Abrigo Island, located on the south coast of São Paulo state, is a excellent natural anchorage, a depository site par excellent, formed from the social use of the small geographical space. This process of \"use-occupation\", of long duration, has been occurring since the beginning of 16 th century and plays the main responsible of formation of the archaeology submerged record. Adopting method of research with minimally intrusive techniques, which demonstrated effective result, was able to search, to register, and to identify various sunk artifacts, loss or discarded, in the bottom of the cove. From the findings, inferences could then be made regarding the relationship between man and this not built maritime anchorage, but fully inserted in the history of navigation made along of the south coast of São Paulo.

O objetivo deste estudo longitudinal foi comparar as alterações dentoesqueléticas e tegumentares de jovens com má oclusão de Classe II não tratados e tratados com distalizador First Class em ancoragem convencional ou esquelética, ou com o aparelho extrabucal cervical (AEB), seguidos do aparelho fixo. A amostra foi composta por 44 pacientes com má oclusão de classe II e divididos em quatro grupos de 11 cada: pacientes tratados com distalizador First Class com ancoragem convencional no botão de Nance (G1), tratados com distalizador First Class com ancoragem esquelética apoiado em 2 mini-implantes no palato (G2), tratados com o aparelho extrabucal (AEB) (G3) e o grupo controle, com pacientes não tratados (G0). Foram obtidas as telerradiografias ao início (Ti) e final (Tf) do tratamento para a realização das análises cefalométricas e avaliação das alterações dentárias, esqueléticas e tegumentares e compará-los com o grupo controle (G0). A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste t pareado com a finalidade de verificar as alterações ocorridas dentro de um mesmo grupo e pelo teste ANOVA a um critério e teste de Tukey para verificar as diferenças entre os grupos. Observou-se restrição e redirecionamento do crescimento maxilar ao final do tratamento no G1 e G3. Os efeitos esqueléticos na mandíbula só foram significantes no G0. As medidas da relação maxilomandibular diminuíram significantemente no G1 e G3 com significante diminuição das medidas que avaliaram o perfil tegumentar. Quanto ao componente vertical todas as medidas aumentaram no G3. Os primeiros molares superiores angularam distalmente no G2 e os inferiores mesialmente no G3. Os quatro grupos apresentaram extrusão dos dentes superiores e inferiores. Os três grupos experimentais apresentaram diminuição significante nas relações dentárias (relação molar, trespasse horizontal e vertical). Conclui-se que os grupos experimentais corrigiram a má colusão de Classe II de maneira satisfatória, sendo que o uso do AEB mostrou efeitos esqueléticos e dentários na correção e os grupos com distalizadores somente efeitos dentários. O tempo de tratamento no grupo com AEB foi significantemente menor. / The aim of this prospective study was to compare the dental, skeletal and soft tissue changes in youngsters with Class II malocclusion untreated and treated with First Class distalizer in conventional or skeletal achorage or with cervical headgear followed by fixed orthodontic appliances. The sample consisted of 44 patients with Class II malocclusion and divided into four groups of 11: patients treated with First Class distalizer with conventional anchorage (Nance button)(G1), treated with First Class distalizer with skeletal anchorage supported in two palatal mini-implants (G2), treated with cervical headgear (G3) and follow-up group with untreated patients (G0). Lateral cephalometrics radiographs were taken before treatment and after treatment in order to cephalometric analysis and evaluate the dental, skeletal and soft tissue changes and to compare with follow-up group (G0). Statistical analysis was performed by dependent t test to verify the changes occurred in the same group and by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test to verify the changes occurred between the groups. It was observed restriction and redirection of maxillary growth after treatment in G1 and G3. Mandibular skeletal effects were significant in G0. The values of skeletal maxilomandibular relationship decreased significantly in G1 and G3 with significant decrease of measurements that evaluated soft facial profile. All measurements of vertical component increased in G3. Maxillary first molars were distal tipping in G2 and lower first molars were mesial tipping in G3. The four groups showed extrusion in the upper and lower teeth. The three experimental groups showed significant decreased in the molar relationship, overjet and overbite. It concluded that experimental groups corrected the Class II malocclusion efficiently, cervical headgear showed skeletal and dental effects and the groups with distalizers showed only dental effects. The mean treatment period was significant lower with cervical headgear.

Over the past 5 years, the use of titanium implants as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) has become an important tool in clinical orthodontic practices. The use of TADs have provided orthodontists a way of moving teeth against fixed objects rather than against the surrounding teeth, which tend to counteract desired motion. At present, viable attachment of TADs involves direct insertion through gingival tissue and piercing of the bone. Surface modifications such as sandblasted and acid-etched treatment or bone morphogenetic protein surface treatment, however, can be applied to the TADs to promote enhanced osseointegration, thereby allowing the TADs to serve as stable anchors while avoiding bone puncture. In this study, a comparison was made between sandblasted/acid-etched TADs and sandblasted/acid-etched/recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) treated TADs to determine whether rhBMP-2 promotes enhanced osseointegration. A total of 10 rats (4 controls and 6 treated with rhBMP-2) were used in the study, with 1 TAD placed on the skull of each rat. At the end of 6 weeks, the animals were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, and bone blocks, each containing a TAD, were prepared for histological examination and biomechanical characterization. The results of this study showed that TADs treated with rhBMP-2 had greater bone formation at the bone-implant interface and an increase in total implant stability.

À la lumière de la théorie de l’identité narrative élaborée par Paul Ricœur, ce mémoire évoque la configuration identitaire des personnages dans les œuvres Cosmos et Les envoûtés de W. Gombrowicz, ainsi que To the Lighthouse et The Waves de V. Woolf. D’une part, nous analyserons l’obsession d’une mise en série aliénante dans le cas de Witold (Cosmos), suivi par un cas de dédoublement et de perte dans l’Autre chez Walczak (Les envoûtés). D’autre part, nous évoquerons le rapport à la famille (James Ramsay) en plus de l’inscription et de l’ancrage par le biais d’éléments prépondérants (The Waves). Il en résulte chez ces personnages, la conception d’une identité par l’entremise d’histoires et d’événements qui la façonnent en un parcours narratif singulier. / By the means of Paul Ricœur’s theory on narrative identity, the following thesis will examine the singular conceptions of identity in the works Cosmos and Les envoutés (W. Gombrowicz) as well as To the Lighthouse and The Waves by V. Woolf. On one hand, we will analyze the obsessive serialization behavior that Witold manifests in Cosmos followed by a case of complete loss of one’s self towards otherness. Furthermore, we will scrutinize the family turmoil between James Ramsay (To the Lighthouse) and his family members. Additionally, we will also inspect the adherence and anchoring of three protagonists towards the development of a unique perception of their environment (The Waves). Ultimately, the protagonists recognize that one’s self is intrically linked to individual stories and events that craft their own sense of being.

L’impact de la perte racinaire sur l’ancrage d’Eugenia grandis Wight et de Pinus pinaster Ait ainsi que la capacité de trois différentes espèces d’arbres (Fagus sylvatica L, Abies alba Mill et Picea abies L) à résister au déracinement ou à la rupture sous l’effet d’un éboulement en pente raide ont été étudiés au moyen de tests de treuillage et le creusement de tranchées (tree winching and trenching tests) et les résultats ont été corrélés avec la structure du système racinaire. Aucune différence n’a été observée entre TMcrit et la distance de creusement de tranchée sur E. grandis. Les résultats obtenus ont révélé qu’en termes de rigidité rotationnelle de l’ancrage des arbres (TARS) et de TMcrit, la stabilité mécanique n’a pas été significativement affectée par le creusement de tranchées en sol argilo-sableux en raison de la profondeur d’enracinement des racines pivotantes (« sinker roots ») qui se sont formées près du tronc et en raison de la taille de la plaque racinaire qui augmente la rigidité et constitue donc une composante importante de l’ancrage d’E. grandis. Toutefois, pour P. pinaster, la stabilité mécanique a été significativement affectée par le creusement de tranchée, probablement en raison de la coupe des racines latérales qui a considérablement altéré la taille de la plaque racinaire et, en conséquence, la somme des surfaces en section (CSA= cross-sectional area) de la plupart des racines latérales et d’un certain nombre de racines traçantes, ce qui constitue une des composantes essentielles de l’ancrage d’arbres P. pinaster adultes plantés en podzol sableux. Pour les espèces forestières de protection plantées en pente raide, les résultats obtenus ont révélé que les espèces d’arbre présentant un système racinaire profondément enfoui et fortement ramifié avec une grande proportion de racines obliques (par exemple, le hêtre et le sapin pectiné) seront mieux ancrées et auront une meilleure fonction anti-éboulement que epicéa commun qui possède un système racinaire superficiel et peu profond. Les connaissances apportées par cette étude peuvent être utilisées pour la sélection et la production d’arbres qui résistent aux risques naturels ainsi qu’aux risques provoqués par l’Homme. / The impact of root loss on tree anchorage on Eugenia grandis Wight and Pinus pinaster Ait and the ability of three different trees species (Fagus sylvatica L, Abies alba Mill and Picea abies L) to resist uprooting or breakage due to rockfall on steep slopes were investigated using tree winching and trenching tests and results correlated to root system architecture. No differences were found between TMcrit and trenching distance in E. grandis trees. The results showed that in terms of Tree Anchorage Rotational Stiffness (TARS) and TMcrit, mechanical stability was not significantly affected by trenching on sandy clay soil, due to rooting depth of the sinkers which occurred close to the trunk and root plate size which provide greater stiffness thus play a major component of anchorage in E. grandis. However, in P. pinaster, mechanical stability was significantly affected by trenching, possibly due to severing of lateral roots greatly altered the size of the root plate and subsequently root CSA of major lateral roots and number of sinkers, which are crucial components in anchorage of mature P. pinaster trees grown on sandy podzol soil. For protection forest species grown on steep slopes, the results showed that tree species with deep, highly branched root systems with a higher proportion of oblique roots (e.g. European beech and Silver fir) will be better anchored and provide better protective function against rockfall as compared to Norway spruce that possessed a superficial plate-like root system. The knowledge gained from this study can be utilized in selection and production of trees which are resistant to both man made or natural hazards.

Os miniparafusos ortodônticos auto-rosqueáveis de liga de titânio têm sido utilizados como recurso de ancoragem durante a movimentação dentária ortodôntica. Estudos têm mostrado uma maior porcentagem de insucesso dos miniparafusos em comparação aos implantes dentários, e a presença de periodontopatógenos tem sido citada na literatura como possível causa da periimplantite. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a presença dos periodontopátogenos na superfície dos miniparafusos por meio da MEV, e identificar, no grupo experimental, as bactérias Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) e Prevotella intermedia (Pi) pela amplificação do DNA por meio da técnica de PCR. Os miniparafusos do grupo experimental e do grupo controle foram colhidos de pacientes do gênero feminino e masculino, com boa saúde bucal, ausência de doença periodontal, não fumantes e não diabéticos. Os resultados obtidos mostraram, quando analisados pela MEV, a adesão de colônia de bacilos e células inflamatórias na superfície dos miniparafusos no grupo experimental, e adesão de coágulo e malha fibrilar no grupo controle. A técnica PCR revelou 100% de freqüência da Pi em ambos os grupos analisados, a presença de Aa em 31,25% no grupo controle contra 13,3% no grupo experimental e a presença de 37,4%da Pg no grupo controle contra 33,33% no grupo experimental. O teste exato de Fisher não mostrou associação significativa entre a presença e a ausência de Aa (P = 0,39) e Pg (P = 0,70) e os grupos analisados, bem como o OR não revelou associação significativa da Aa (OR = 0,34; IC 95%: 0,05-2,10) e da Pg (OR = 0,61; IC 95%: 0,13- 2,79) com a periimplantite. / Self-tapping titanium alloy orthodontic mini-screws have been used as bony anchorage during orthodontic tooth movement. Studies have shown a higher failure rate of mini-screw than dental implants, and the presence of periodontopathogens has been mentioned in the literature as a possible reason for peri-implantitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of periodontopathogens on the mini-screw surface by SEM and to identify the bacteria, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Prevotella intermedia (Pi), by DNA amplification using PCR. Mini-screws of the experimental and control groups were collected from both male and female patients, with good oral health and absence of periodontal disease, non-smoker, and non-diabetic. The results, when analyzed by SEM, showed the adhesion of bacilli and inflammatory cells to the surface of the mini-screws in the experimental group and the adhesion of blood clots and fibril array in the control group. DNA amplification revealed Pi in all cases of both groups analyzed. Aa presence was observed in 31.25% of the control group against 13.3% in the experimental group and Pg presence in 37.4% of the control group against 33.33% in the experimental group. Fishers exact test did not show significant association between both presence and absence of Aa (P = 0.39) and Pg (P = 0.70) and the analyzed groups. Furthermore, odds ratio (OR) revealed no significant association of Aa (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.05-2.10) and Pg (OR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.13- 2.79) with peri-implantitis.
