Among them, the ceramic base of stabilized zirconia with 3% yttria (3Y - TZP) stand out for having excellent physical and mechanical properties. During the machining of blocks of zirconia in the laboratory to prepare the various types of prostheses, much of the material is given off in the form of powder, which is subsequently discarded. The waste of this material results in financial loss, reflecting higher final cost treatment for patients, as well as damage to the environment, thanks to the processes involved in the manufacture and disposal of the ceramic. This research, pioneered the recycling of zirconium oxide powder obtained during milling of dental crowns and bridges, we highlight the social and environmental aspects and aims to establish a protocol for the reuse of waste (powder of zirconia Zirkonzahn? system) discarded to obtain a new block of compacted zirconia to maintain the same mechanical and microstructural properties of commercial high-cost imported material. To compare with the commercial material, samples were uniaxially (20 MPa) and isostatically (100 MPa), and its mechanical and microstructural characterization was performed through tests of density, porosity, dilatometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness, fracture toughness, resistance to fracture electron microscopy (SEM) and analysis of grain size. The results observed in the samples were isostatically pressed similiares those obtained with samples from the commercial material demonstrating the viability of the process / Na atualidade, o material de escolha para execu??o de trabalhos prot?ticos est?ticos em odontologia ? o cer?mico. Dentre eles, as cer?micas a base de zirc?nia estabilizada com 3% de ?tria (3Y-TZP) se destacam por apresentarem excelentes propriedades f?sicas e mec?nicas. Durante a usinagem dos blocos de zirc?nia em laborat?rio para preparo dos diversos tipos de pr?tese, grande parte do material ? desprendida na forma de p?, que posteriormente ? descartado. O desperd?cio deste material resulta em preju?zo financeiro, refletindo em elevado custo final no tratamento para os pacientes, al?m de preju?zo para o meio ambiente, devido aos processos envolvidos na fabrica??o e descarte da cer?mica. Esta pesquisa, pioneira na reciclagem do p? de ?xido de zirc?nia obtido durante a fresagem de coroas e pontes dent?rias, destaca-se nos aspectos social e ambiental e tem como objetivo, estabelecer um protocolo de reaproveitamento de res?duos (p? de zirc?nia do sistema Zirkonzahn?) descartados para a obten??o de um novo bloco de zirc?nia compactado que mantenha as mesmas propriedades mec?nicas e microestruturais do material comercial importado de alto custo. Para comparar com o material comercial, as amostras foram prensadas uniaxialmente (20 MPa) e isostaticamente (100 MPa), e sua caracteriza??o mec?nica e microestrutural foi realizada atrav?s dos ensaios de densidade, porosidade aparente, dilatometria, difra??o de raios X (DRX), microdureza, tenacidade a fratura, resist?ncia a fratura, microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e an?lise de tamanho de gr?o. Os resultados constatados nas amostras prensadas isostaticamente foram similiares ?queles obtidos com as amostras do material comercial demostrando a viabilidade do processo

This study, of qualitative approach, investigate, in the dental history of users of SUS, listening to his/her experiences with the services of dental care, the reason that lead his/her to dental lost and the repercussion of this in his/her life. The collect of data was made by narrative interview, obeying to a pre-defined schema. The subjects interviewed were six (three of urban zone and three of rural zone), all of them were users of Family Health Units. The criterions of inclusion were the followings: the presence of tooth lost (total lost in both dental arch or in one of them, or partial lost in at least six elements in one of the arches); age between 25 and 59; male or female; to live in municipal district of S?o Tom?/RN or Natal/RN. Based on previous interviews was elaborated the odontological history of each patient. Such narratives, systemized in odontological history, were analyzed taking as base the studies of Souza71 and the proposal of Schutze, suggested for Jovchelovitch, Bauer34. The results show that toothache was the main reason for the search of odontological care. The patients confront the ache with home-made medicaments, allopathic ones, and searching for dental care. The searching for exodontics was stimulated for geographic access difficulties or for repressed demand, which as a result produced the aggravation of the lesions and the discredit in restoration s treatment. The self-care practice of tooth-brush with ju? or toothpaste and the controlled ingestion of sugar was not sufficient to avoid dental lost. Guilty sentiments were identified in relation with lack of care with teeth. The acceptance of dental lost as a natural factor is an important motivation in lack of pain and in the belief that it was a simple part of life in old age. Life with dental prosthesis makes clear the difference between which was natural and which was unnatural, and difficulties with the prosthesis appeared. The limitation of the prosthesis in its functional aspect can be compensated by esthetic restitution, making possible smiling expression. Starting with this study and considering the high number of dental lost, mainly in low-rent population, which live with toothless limitations or bad-quality prosthesis which do not rehabilitate adequately, we suggested the realization of qualitative researches which include, also, another actors in heath care services such as professionals and administrators / A compreens?o ampliada dos efeitos da perda dent?ria exige escuta dos sujeitos que a experimenta. Este estudo, de abordagem qualitativa, investigou, na hist?ria odontol?gica de usu?rios do SUS, a partir do relato de suas experi?ncias com os servi?os de sa?de bucal, os motivos que os levaram ? perda dent?ria e as repercuss?es desta em suas vidas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da t?cnica de entrevista narrativa, adaptada, utilizando-se roteiro semi-estruturado. Os sujeitos entrevistados, num total de seis (tr?s da zona urbana e tr?s da zona rural), foram usu?rios de Unidades de Sa?de da Fam?lia. Consideraram-se os seguintes crit?rios de inclus?o: presen?a de desdentamento (perda total em ambas as arcadas, ou em uma delas, ou perda parcial a partir de seis elementos em uma das arcadas); idade ente 25 e 59 anos; qualquer g?nero; ser morador dos munic?pios de S?o Tom?/RN e Natal/RN. A partir do conte?do das entrevistas foi elaborada a hist?ria odontol?gica de cada entrevistado. Tais narrativas, sistematizadas em hist?rias odontol?gicas, foram analisadas com base em estudo de Souza e na proposta de Sch?tze, sugerida por Jovchelovitch, Bauer. Os resultados indicaram que a experi?ncia de dor foi o principal motivo pela procura por assist?ncia odontol?gica. As formas de enfrentamento da dor deram-se pelo uso de medica??es caseiras e alop?ticas e pela busca do servi?o de sa?de. A procura pela exodontia foi favorecida pela dificuldade de acesso geogr?fico ou pela grande demanda reprimida, o que produziu agravamento das les?es e descr?dito na efic?cia do tratamento restaurador. A pr?tica do autocuidado atrav?s da escova??o com ju? ou creme dental e o controle do consumo de a??car n?o foram suficientes para evitar a perda dent?ria. Foram identificados sentimentos de culpa relacionados ? falta de cuidado. A aceita??o da perda dent?ria como natural teve forte rela??o com a garantia de aus?ncia de dor e a cren?a de fazer parte do processo de envelhecimento. A conviv?ncia das pessoas com a pr?tese dent?ria mostrou a diferen?a entre o que era natural e o que era artificial e, a partir da?, foram aparecendo situa??es de estranhamento com a pr?tese. A limita??o da pr?tese quanto ao aspecto funcional pode ser compensada pela restitui??o da est?tica, ao possibilitar a express?o do sorriso. A partir deste estudo e considerando o elevado n?mero de perdas dent?rias, especialmente em popula??es de menor poder aquisitivo, que convivem com limita??es pr?prias da condi??o de desdentado e ou com pr?teses de m? qualidade que n?o reabilitam, adequadamente, sugere-se a realiza??o de pesquisas de abordagem qualitativa que inclua, tamb?m, outros atores implicados na produ??o de cuidados e servi?os de sa?de profissionais e gestores

Methods: Cross-sectional study with subjects who underwent prosthetic CEOs in the cities of Natal, Maca?ba, Parnamirim and Sao Goncalo do Amarante in the period 2007 to 2009. Data collection was performed by questionnaire, clinical examination of the oral cavity and examination of fabricated denture. This analysis involved the following aspects: retention, stability, aesthetics and prosthesis fixation. The variables are presented by means of absolute numbers and proportions. The determination of the association between the independent and dependent variables was conducted by the association of Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: A total of 149 users, totaling 233 conventional dentures (148 upper and 85 lower). Most patients (56.4%) were rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures. The technical quality of the denture was regarded as satisfactory in the majority (52.7%), whereas the inferior dentures were rated as unsatisfactory in 90.5% of cases. Satisfaction with the prosthesis was 69.1% (N = 103). The average time to begin treatment was 3 months to receive while the prosthesis was 4 months old. The presence of injury from the upper prosthesis occurred in 21.5% of cases (N = 32), candidiasis being the most frequent (N = 18). The technical quality of the upper prosthesis (p=0,041), as well as retention (p=0,002) and stability (p<0,001) were significantly associated with user satisfaction. Conclusions: The specialized Dental clinics has been fulfilling its role of providing treatment of intermediate complexity for low-income population with the majority of satisfield patients, even when their dentures have problems of technical quality / Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfa??o dos usu?rios e a qualidade dos tratamentos prot?ticos realizados nos Centros de Especialidades Odontol?gicas (CEOs) da Grande Natal-RN.

It is a small canal that goes through any inter-radicular dentine and arises in the furca region of the multi-radicular teeth. Its predominance has been studied in the literature, by several methodologies, with divergent results. The objective of this work was to establish, in vitro, the predominance of the cavo inter-radicular canal, in human lower molars, through the diaphanization technique and dye leakage. For this research, 140 teeth (100 first and second 40 lower molars) were selected, extracted due to different reasons, belonging to a teeth bank of the Endodontics discipline of the Dentistry College at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The teeth were preserved in formol until the moment of use and immersed in physiological solution. Had the endodontic access fulfilled and the whole external surface, except for the furcation, sealed with two layers of nail enamel. The cleaning of the pulpar chamber floor was carried out with sodium hypochlorite solution 5%, being this solution renewed every 5 minutes, during 1 hour. The teeth were immersed in Indian dye and, after drying of the dye, they had their crowns split up in the amelo-cemental junction. Then, they were examined in a stereomicroscope, where marks of the coloring were observed in the furcation and on the pulpar floor. After this recording, the sample was diaphanized and with the transparent teeth, it was possible to observe in the stereomicroscope, the true inter-radicular canals. As a result of this experiment, the presence of these canals was observed in 13 % of the first and 7, 5 % of the second evaluated molars. The study showed that both the presence of the cavo inter-radicular canal is real and the diaphanization and dye leakage is an efficient method for this type of research / O sistema neurovascular da polpa e do periodonto ? interligado e, dentre as poss?veis intercomunica??es entre esses dois tecidos, tem-se o canal cavo inter-radicular. Trata-se de um pequeno canal que percorre toda dentina inter-radicular e se exterioriza na regi?o de furca dos dentes multirradiculares. Sua preval?ncia foi estudada na literatura, por diversas metodologias, com resultados divergentes. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estabelecer, in vitro, a preval?ncia do canal cavo inter-radicular, em molares inferiores humanos, atrav?s da t?cnica de infiltra??o de corante e diafaniza??o. Para a pesquisa foram selecionados 140 dentes (100 primeiros e 40 segundos molares inferiores), extra?dos por raz?es diversas, pertencentes ao estoque de dentes da disciplina de Endodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Os dentes anteriormente mantidos em formol foram lavados em ?gua corrente e conservadps em soro fisiol?gico at? o momento de uso. Nesse momento os mesmos tiveram os acessos endod?nticos realizados e toda a superf?cie externa, exceto a furca, impermeabilizada com duas camadas de esmalte de unha. A limpeza do assoalho da c?mara pulpar foi feita com solu??o de hipoclorito de s?dio a 5%, sendo essa solu??o renovada a cada 5 minutos durante 1 hora. Os dentes foram imersos em tinta nanquim e, ap?s secagem do corante, tiveram suas coroas seccionadas na jun??o amelocement?ria. Foram ent?o examinados em um estereomicrosc?pio, onde se observou marcas do corante na furca e ou assoalho pulpar. Feito esse registro, a amostra foi diafanizada e, com os dentes transparentes, p?de-se observar no estereomicrosc?pio, os verdadeiros canais cavo inter-radiculares. Como resultado desse experimento, foi verificada a presen?a desses canais em 13% dos primeiros e 7,5% dos segundos molares avaliados. O estudo demonstrou que a presen?a do canal cavo inter-radicular ? real e a diafaniza??o associada ? infiltra??o de corante um m?todo eficaz para esse tipo de pesquisa

It was verified that dentigerous cyst are more frequently present in the earfy three decades of life, with the majority of cases occuring in the second decade (40,740/0 ), and also male (57,41%) and white patients (68,52%) were most affected. In relation to anatomic site, the dentigerous cyst was more prevalent at anterior maxila and posterior mandible, showing, usually, a slow growth pattem. The majority of lesions were asymptomatic and the radiographic observed was frequently na unilocular radiolucency. In regard to the histomorphological analysis, it was noticed that the lesions showed commonly a thin epithelium, with a capsule of fibrous connective tissue, richly vascularized and collagenized with an intense mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate. Finally, clinicopathological was performed and it was find out that cysts that showed a thick epithelium, with a high degree of vascularization and collagenization, intense inflammatory infiltrate in the cystic capsule, were located in the pre-molares region, in patients under 12 years old and the majority showing painfull sintomatology, properly, compatible with inflammatory dentigerous cyst. The findings of the present study indicate that, probably, there is a variant of the dentigerous cyst, and therefore, we suggest the denomination inflammatory follicular cyst for this entity / Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma analise clinicopatologica de casos diagnosticados como cisto dentigeno na Disciplina de Patologia Oral do Departamento de Odontologia da UFRN,enfatizando uma possivel correla??o entre os achados histomorfologicos e os dados epidemiologicos constantes nas fichas de solicita??o de exame histopatologico,no intuito de caracterizar uma possivel variante da les?o,denominada cisto dentigero de origem inflamatoria.Foi verificado que o cisto dentigero apresentou-se com maior frequencia nas tres primeiras decadas de vida,com maior numero de casos observados na segunda decada(40,74%);tendo sido o genero masculino o mais afetado,com 57,41% dos casos,e os pacientes leucodermas os mais acometidos com 68,52% da amostra total.A regiao anatomica mais atingida foi a anterior de maxila e a posterior de mandibula, sendo o padrao de crescimento lento o mais comumente observado.A maioia das lesoes apresentou-se assintomatica,e o aspecto radiografico frequentemente identificado foi o radiolucido inilocular.Quanto a analise histomorfologica,observou-se que as lesoes

The intraosseous lesions, such as radicular cyst and dentigerous cyst, present a potential of expansion capable of promoting the destruction of the surrounding osseous tissue. The mechanisms related to this process of expansion are the proliferation of cystic epithelium, the increase of the osmolarity of the cystic fluid and the synthesis of reabsorption factors such as IFN-? and TGF-?1. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the immunohistochemical expression of IFN-? and TGF-?1 between radicular cysts and dentigerous cysts in order to understand the role and behavior of these proteins in the expansion of these cysts. We selected 20 cases of radicular cyst and 20 cases of dentigerous cyst chosen from the files of UFRN s Laboratory of Oral Pathology. After analyzing the clinical data, the cases underwent the routine staining technique (HE) and immunohistochemistry for the appearance of IFN-? and TGF-?1 in the epithelium and capsule of these cysts. The statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test revealed no statistically significant difference in immunoexpression of IFN-? between the epithelium (p = 0.565) and capsules (p = 0.414) of radicular cysts and dentigerous cysts. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference of immunoexpression of TGF-?1 between the epithelium (p = 0.620) and capsules (p = 0.056) of radicular cysts and dentigerous cysts. The Wilcoxon test revealed no statistically significant difference between IFN-? and TGF-?1 imunoexpressions in the epithelium (p = 0.225) and capsules (p = 0.370) of radicular cysts. There was no statistically significant difference between IFN-? and TGF-?1 imunoexpressions in the epithelium (p = 0.361) of dentigerous cysts. However, there was a statistically significant difference between IFN-? and TGF-?1 immunoexpressions in the capsule (p = 0.001) of dentigerous cysts, being TGF-?1 the factor which presented the most significant immunoexpression. Given these results, we conclude that there was no difference in immunohistochemical expression of IFN-? and TGF-?1 between radicular and dentigerous cysts and that TGF-?1 was more significant than the IFN-? in the capsule of dentigerous cysts / Os cistos odontog?nicos s?o cavidades patol?gicas revestidas por epit?lio odontog?nico e preenchidas por l?quido, c?lulas descamadas, ou outros materiais. As les?es intra-?sseas, como o cisto radicular e o cisto dent?gero, apresentam um potencial de expans?o capaz de promover a destrui??o do tecido ?sseo circunjacente. Os mecanismos relacionados a esse processo de expans?o s?o a prolifera??o do epit?lio c?stico, o aumento da osmolaridade do fluido c?stico e a s?ntese de fatores de reabsor??o ?ssea como IFN-? e TGF-?1. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e comparar a express?o imuno-histoqu?mica do IFN-? e do TGF-?1 entre cistos radiculares e cistos dent?geros com a finalidade de compreender o papel e o comportamento dessas prote?nas no processo de expans?o destes cistos. Selecionamos 20 casos de cisto radicular e 20 casos de cisto dent?gero retirados dos arquivos do Laborat?rio de Patologia Oral da UFRN. Ap?s an?lise dos dados cl?nicos, os casos foram submetidos a t?cnica de colora??o de rotina (HE) e ao m?todo imuno-histoqu?mico para evidencia??o da express?o do IFN-? e do TGF-?1 no epit?lio e na c?psula dos referidos cistos. A an?lise estat?stica dos dados utilizando o teste de Mann-Whitney revelou que n?o houve diferen?a estatisticamente significativa da imunoexpress?o do IFN- entre os epit?lios (p=0,565) e c?psulas (p=0,414) dos cistos radiculares e cistos dent?geros. Al?m disso, n?o houve diferen?a estatisticamente significativa da imunoexpress?o do TGF-?1 entre os epit?lios (p=0,620) e c?psulas (p=0,056) dos cistos radiculares e cistos dent?geros. O teste de Wilcoxon revelou que n?o houve diferen?a estatisticamente significativa entre as imunoexpress?es do IFN- e do TGF-?1 no epit?lio (p=0,225) e na c?psula (p=0,370) dos cistos radiculares. N?o houve diferen?a estatisticamente significativa entre as imunoexpress?es do IFN- e do TGF-?1 no epit?lio (p=0,361) dos cistos dent?geros. No entanto, houve diferen?a estatisticamente significativa entre as imunoexpress?es do IFN- e do TGF-?1 na c?psula (p=0,001) dos cistos dent?geros, sendo o TGF-?1 o que apresentou a imunoexpress?o mais significativa. Diante destes resultados, conclu?mos que n?o houve diferen?a de express?o imuno-histoqu?mica do IFN-? e do TGF-?1 entre os cistos radiculares e dent?geros e que o TGF-?1 foi mais expressivo do que o IFN-? na c?psula dos cistos dent?geros

The aim of the present study was to perform a comparative immunohistochemical analysis for the expression of collagenase-1 (MMP-1) and gelatinases A (MMP-2) and B (MMP-9) in odontogenic myxomas and dental papilla of teeth germs. Twelve cases of odontogenic myxomas and eight specimens of teeth germs were selected. It was taken into consideration the presence or absence of immunoreactivity, the pattern of immunohistochemical distribution of proteases within extracellular matrix, as well as, the number of cells revealing immunostaining for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). It was verified a significant difference (p<0,05) in relation to MMP-2 immunoexpression, which was observed only within extracellular matrix of myxomas. Nevertheless, MMP-1 labeling was revealed by most of the cases of odontogenic myxoma, at levels close to those observed in dental papilla. In relation to the pattern of distribution, a significant difference was obtained between specimens (p<0,05), with neoplasms predominantly exhibiting a focal pattern for MMP-1. The quantitative analysis of neoplastic cells labeled for MMPs denoted a significant difference (p<0,05), demonstrating a higher proportion of MMP-1 in comparison to MMPs-2 and -9. It can be concluded that immunohistochemical expression of MMP-1 at levels comparable to those observed in dental papilla and quantitatively superior in relation to MMPs-2 and -9, suggest an implication of this protease on extracellular matrix degradation of odontogenic myxomas. Moreover, the possibility of interactions with receptors involved in cellular adhesion, particularly with integrins, suggests a plausible function on local invasiveness of such neoplasms. Additionally, the presence of a descent immunoexpression gradient for these MMPs on odontogenic myxomas, associated to substrate specificity inherent in each enzyme, suggest the existence of a coordinated mechanism between interstitial collagenase and gelatinases A and B in order to allow an efficient degradation of extracellular matrix and local invasion by neoplastic cells / O mixoma odontog?nico compartilha aspectos celulares e estruturais com a papila dent?ria, tendo-se implicado esta ?ltima como prov?vel origem deste neoplasma. O prop?sito desta pesquisa consistiu em analisar comparativamente a express?o imuno-histoqu?mica de colagenase-1 (MMP-1) e gelatinases A (MMP-2) e B (MMP-9) em mixomas odontog?nicos e papilas de germes dent?rios. Foram selecionados 12 casos de mixoma odontog?nico e 08 esp?cimes de germes dent?rios, para an?lise da presen?a ou aus?ncia de express?o imunohistoqu?mica e padr?o de distribui??o destas proteases em meio ? matriz extracelular, bem como, o n?mero de c?lulas positivamente marcadas para estas metaloproteinases de matriz (MMPs). Constatou-se diferen?a significativa (p<0,05) em rela??o ? imunorreatividade para MMP-2, apresentando-se expressa apenas em meio ? matriz extracelular dos mixomas. Para MMP-1 foi verificada imunorreatividade na maioria dos casos de mixomas, com propor??es semelhantes ?s constatadas nas papilas dent?rias. Em rela??o ao padr?o de distribui??o, evidenciou-se diferen?a significativa apenas para MMP-1 (p<0,05), com predomin?ncia do padr?o focal nos neoplasmas. Por sua vez, a quantidade de c?lulas imunorreativas ?s proteases, nos mixomas odontog?nicos, revelou diferen?as significativas (p<0,05), estando a MMP-1 presente em maiores propor??es, em compara??o com as MMPs-2 e -9. Concluiu-se que a express?o de MMP-1, em n?vel compar?vel ao constatado nas papilas de germes dent?rios e numericamente superior ?s MMPs-2 e -9, sugere a implica??o desta protease no processo de degrada??o da matriz extracelular nos mixomas odontog?nicos e, em decorr?ncia da possibilidade de associa??o das MMPs a receptores envolvidos no processo de ades?o celular, especialmente ?s integrinas, ainda um prov?vel papel na invasividade local destes neoplasmas. Adicionalmente, a evidencia??o de um gradiente descendente na express?o imuno-histoqu?mica das MMPs nos mixomas odontog?nicos, associada ? especificidade de substrato inerente a cada uma destas proteases, sugerem a exist?ncia de um mecanismo coordenado entre colagenase intersticial e gelatinases A e B, direcionado ? degrada??o eficiente da matriz extracelular e invas?o local por parte das c?lulas neopl?sicas

The epithelial proliferation, which has been identified as one of the key processes in the growth of odontogenic cystic lesions, is influenced by growth factors such as EGFR (epidermal growth receptor factor) and podoplanin (PDPN), many of which may have its production stimulated mainly during inflammatory processes. The objective of this research was to evaluate and compare the immunohistochemical expression of EGFR and PDPN in 30 cases of RCs and 30 cases of DCs, semiquantitatively, in light microscopy, associating it with the degree of inflammation, cellular localization of immunostaining and with the immunostained epithelial layers. Data were statistically analyzed by Chi-square test and Fisher exact test, considering a significance level of 5 %. The results showed high immunoreactivity of both proteins in the lesions studied, only statistically significant difference was observed in immunostaining of PDPN (p=0.033), which proved higher in RCs. The other analyzed parameters showed no relevant significant differences. We conclude that, as EGFR and PDPN showed high immunoreactivity in cystic lesions analyzed, these proteins participate the pathogenesis of these lesions through the epithelial stimulation process, despite having different etiologies. Furthermore, it can infer that the higher immunostaining of PDNP in RCs that DCs showed no distinction indicator between the two lesions, regarding their etiologies, once this protein also showed a considerable expression in DCs, independent of the intensity of the inflammatory infiltrate / Os cistos radiculares (CRs) e dent?geros (CDs), apesar de possu?rem etiologias diferentes, formam uma cavidade patol?gica revestida por epit?lio, a qual cresce em fun??o do ac?mulo de l?quido em seu interior, ? medida que o osso ao redor ? reabsorvido e o epit?lio vai sendo induzido a proliferar. A prolifera??o epitelial, que tem sido apontada como um dos processos determinantes no crescimento das les?es c?sticas odontog?nicas, ? influenciada por fatores de crescimento como o EGFR (receptor do fator de crescimento epid?rmico) e a podoplanina (PDPN), muitos dos quais podem ter sua produ??o estimulada principalmente durante processos inflamat?rios. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar e comparar a express?o imunoistoqu?mica do EGFR e da PDPN em 30 casos de CRs e 30 casos de CDs, de forma semiquantitativa, em microscopia de luz, associando-a com o grau de inflama??o, localiza??o celular da imunocolora??o e com as camadas epiteliais imunomarcadas. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente por meio de testes do Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher, considerando-se um n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que houve elevada imunorreatividade das duas prote?nas nas les?es estudadas, sendo observada apenas diferen?a estat?stica significativa na imunoexpress?o da PDPN (p=0,033), que se mostrou mais elevada nos CRs. Os demais par?metros analisados n?o demonstraram diferen?as significativas relevantes. Conclui-se que, como o EGFR e a PDPN apresentaram elevada imunoexpress?o nas les?es c?sticas analisadas, essas prote?nas participam da patog?nese dessas les?es atrav?s da estimula??o epitelial, apesar de apresentarem etiologias diferentes. Al?m disso, pode-se inferir que a maior imunomarca??o da PDPN em CRs do que em CDs n?o se mostrou indicador de distin??o entre as duas les?es, com rela??o ?s suas etiologias, uma vez que nestes ?ltimos essa prote?na tamb?m apresentou express?o consider?vel, independente da intensidade do infiltrado inflamat?rio
