Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-01T23:26:23Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_9826_DISSERTAÇÃO FINAL.pdf: 516782 bytes, checksum: f8a8e0ac8e3f39b30abbc544c45a8cf3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-04-12 / Não existem estudos conclusivos que determinem a exata relação entre a recessão gengival e a hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical. Diante da prevalência do problema de hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical associado com a recessão gengival, justifica-se a importância do conhecimento da relação destas condições clinicas. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar pacientes com recessão gengival vestibular e sua associação com a hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical em estudo clínico em 61 pacientes atendidos na Clínica Odontológica do Curso de Odontologia da UFES. Eles foram selecionados quanto à presença de recessão gengival e após identificada a recessão o paciente foi submetido a avaliação com o intuito de identificar a relação com hipersensibilidade da dentinária cervical. Foram anotados de todos os pacientes dados referentes à idade, sexo, e o tipo de dente. No exame clínico foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: determinação da presença ou não do sangramento, presença visível de placa, altura da recessão gengival e hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical. O grau de sensibilidade foi classificado utilizando estímulo térmico (Endo-Ice Spray MAQUIRA®- PR/ Brasil), segundo UCHIDA em grau 0,1,2,3 sendo 0 (sem desconforto significativo),1 (desconforto, mas sem dor considerável), 2 (dor aguda durante a aplicação do estímulo), 3 (dor aguda durante e após a aplicação do estímulo). A associação entre os dentes que apresentam recessão gengival e a presença de hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical apresentou significância estatística com p<0,001, sendo a soma do grau sensibilidade em 69,5%, com índice 3 em 39,6% seguido de índice 2 com 29,9%. A recessão gengival e hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical são mais comuns do lado esquerdo do que o lado direito da arcada dentária com mais recessão gengival do lado esquerdo 56.4% (87 dentes) do que do lado direito 43,6% (67 dentes), o sangramento à sondagem e o índice de placa visível não apresentaram significância estatística ao nível de 5% (p = 0,227 e p = 0,687). Conclui-se que houve relação entre hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical e recessão gengival. / The gingival recession is commonly associated to cervical dentinal hypersensitivity. However, there are no conclusive studies which determine such relationship. The prevalence between these two clinical conditions is usually originated in cervical dentinal hypersensitivity, associated with gingival recession and it justifies the importance of understanding the relationship of these clinical conditions. The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate patients with vestibular gingival recession and the relationship of such condition with the cervical dentin hypersensitivity. Sixtyone patients were submitted to treatment at the Dental Clinic of the UFES School of Dentistry with gingival recession. Subjects were examined in search for the presence of gingival recession and evaluated in order to identify the relationship of each lesion with the cervical dentinal hypersensitivity. Age, gender and teeth type were taken into consideration. The following parameters were recorded through clinical examination: presence or absence of bleeding, visible presence of plaque/biofilm, gingival recession and cervical dentin hypersensitivity. The sensitivity factor (UCHIDA) was applied for sensitivity measurement. The association between the teeth with gingival recession and the presence of cervical dentin hypersensitivity showed statistical significance p<0.001, where the sum of the sensitivity factors were: 69.5% with index 3 in 39.6% of subjects, followed by index 2 featuring 29.9. It was observed, within the studied group, that gingival recession and cervical dentine hypersensitivity are more common on the left side than on the right side of the dentin with arch gingival recession on the left 56.4% (87 teeth) than the right side of 43.6% (67 teeth), bleeding on probing and visible biofilm index were not statistically significant at 5% (p=0.227 and p=0.687). It was concluded that there is a relationship between cervical dentin hypersensitivity and gingival recession.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / As Mucopolissacaridoses (MPS) constituem um grupo de doenÃas raras, caracterizadas por deficiÃncias enzimÃticas que resultam em bloqueio na degradaÃÃo dos glicosaminoglicanos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a situaÃÃo periodontal de todos os pacientes com Mucopolissacaridose, atendidos no Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin e no Hospital Geral CÃsar Cals, FortalezaâCE. Foram avaliados 18 pacientes, por um cirurgiÃo-dentista previamente calibrado, que registrou os Ãndice de Pernus, Ãndice de Placa Bacteriana VisÃvel, Ãndice de Sangramento Gengival, PSR e Ãndice CPO-D/ceo-d. Em relaÃÃo ao volume gengival, observou-se que 72,2% dos pacientes apresentaram Ãndice de Pernus nos escores 1, 2 ou 3, que corresponde à presenÃa de hiperplasia gengival. Quando se avaliaram os cuidados com relaÃÃo à higiene oral dos pacientes, observou-se que quanto ao Ãndice de Sangramento Gengival 77,8% dos pacientes apresentaram Ãndice maior que 10%, 66,6% dos pacientes apresentaram Ãndice de Placa Bacteriana VisÃvel maior que 40%. Com relaÃÃo ao PSR 94,4% dos pacientes apresentou escore 1, correspondendo a sangramento, e 5,6% escore 2, correspondendo à presenÃa de cÃlculo alÃm de sangramento, e quanto ao CPO-D/ceo-d 61,1% apresentou Ãndice maior que 5. De uma maneira geral, observou-se que a situaÃÃo periodontal dos pacientes portadores de mucopolissacaridose à uma situaÃÃo que inspira maior cuidado, mostrando caracterÃsticas prevalentes como o aumento gengival, alÃm de altos Ãndices de Sangramento Gengival, Placa Bacteriana VisÃvel e CPO-D/ceo-d. / The Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of rare diseases characterized by enzyme deficiency that results in nondegradation of the glicosaminoglicans (GAGs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status of all the patiente with MPS that are treated at the Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin and at the Hospital Geral CÃsar Cals, in Fortaleza, CearÃ, Brazil. A number of 18 patients were evaluated by a dentist that was previously calibrated, which registered the Pernus Index (IP), Visible Bacterium Plaque Index (IPB-V), Gingival Bleeding Index (ISG), PSR and Index that shows number of teeth that showed cavities, tooth loss or restoration (CPO-D/ceo-d). In relation to the gingival volume it was observed that 72,2% of the patients showed that the gingival was not in itÂs regular size. On the evaluation of dental hygiene, it was observed that 77,8% of the patients showed ISG greater than 10% and 66,6% of the patients showed IPB-V greater than 40%. In relation to PSR, 94,4% of the patients showed scored 1 which means gingival bleeding and 5,6% showed score 2 which means calculus besides gingival bleeding. And in relation to CPO-D/ceo-d 61,1% of the patients showed score greater than 5. In a general way it was observed that the periodontal status of the patients is a situation that requires more care, showing characteristics like gingival hyperplasias besides high scores of ISG, IPB-V and CPO-D/ceo-d.

Freqüência do sulco palatogengival e morfologia dos canais de dentes portadores antes e depois do preparo biomecânico / Frequency of the palatogengival groove and morphologic analysis of the root canals of affected teeth before and after root canal preparation

Tiago Novaes Pinheiro 13 February 2006 (has links)
O sulco palatogengival representa uma anomalia com morfologia propícia ao acúmulo de microorganismos e possibilidade de comunicação com a cavidade pulpar, podendo acarretar em doença periodontal localizada, cárie dentária, pulpopatias e periapicopatias. Investigou-se a etiopatogenia, seus meios de diagnóstico para colaborar na determinação de prognósticos precisos baseados na detecção das dificuldades do manejo dessas situações clínicas decorrentes. Detectou-se sua freqüência em 500 pacientes, correlacionando sua presença com características pessoais e sua ocorrência na família de indivíduos portadores. Também foram utilizados 20 incisivos permanentes superiores portadores do sulco palatogengival avaliando macro e microscopicamente a morfologia dos canais radiculares antes e depois do preparo biomecânico, bem como a relação do compartimento pulpar com o meio externo. Os espécimes foram observados macroscopicamente, com o auxílio do estereomicroscópio, radiografados e analisados à microscopia eletrônica de varredura antes e depois do preparo biomecânico utilizando a técnica de mufla modificada de BRAMANTE et al.. A prevalência do sulco palatogengival na amostra de 500 pacientes avaliados, foi de 19,8%, sendo que o dente mais afetado foi o incisivo lateral superior com 80,4% de prevalência, ocorrendo tanto unilateralmente quanto bilateralmente. Observou-se a prevalência de 8,4% de doenças relacionadas ao sulco. Não se detectou diferenças entre gêneros e cor de pele, quanto à presença do defeito. Não foi observada nenhuma correlação entre a presença do sulco palatogengival e as características físicas avaliadas. Identificou-se a presença do sulco palatogengival em pessoas de uma mesma família. A análise de 20 incisivos superiores com sulco palatogengival permitiu a identificação de forames, foraminas e túbulos dentinários no leito do sulco palatogengival, comunicando o compartimento pulpar com o periodontal. Identificaram-se alterações no contorno e variações do tipo de junção amelocementária. O desgaste produzido pela instrumentação dos canais nos dentes da amostra foi uniforme, não havendo diferenças significantes entre as paredes instrumentadas nem nos fragmentos cervical, médio e apical dos canais. A parede dentinária atingida pelo sulco palatogengival foi a mais fina antes e depois do preparo biomecânico. / The palatogengival groove represents an anomaly with favorable morphology to the accumulation of microorganisms and possible communication with the pulp chamber, leading to localized periodontal disease, dental caries, pulp and periapical diseases. It was aimed to investigate the origin, the diagnostic means and to collaborate for determination of prognostic measures based on the detection of difficulties with handling of the current clinical situations related to the groove. The frequency in 500 patients was evaluated, correlating the presence of the groove with individual characteristics end its presence in the family of the bearers. Also 20 permanent previously extracted upper incisors with the palatogengival groove were evaluated as to the root canal morphology macro and microscopically, before and after root canal preparation. The relationship of the pulp chamber with the external environment, in these specimens was evaluated. The specimens were observed macroscopically, by means of stereomicroscope, x-ray and analyzed through scanning electronic microscopy before and after root canal preparation using a modified muffle technique from BRAMANTE et al.. The prevalence of the palatogengival groove in 500 patients, was of 19,8%, and the most affected tooth was the upper lateral incisor with 80,4% of prevalence, with unilateral and bilateral manifestation. It was detected the prevalence of 7,8% of groove related diseases. It was not detected differences between gender and skin color, with the presence of the defect. No correlations were observed between the presence of the palatogengival groove and the studied physical characteristics. It was identified the presence of the palatogengival groove in patients of the same family. The analysis of 20 upper incisors with palatogengival groove allowed the identification foramen, foraminas and exposed dentinal tubules in the radicular surface of the groove, communicating the pulp chamber with the periodontal compartment. Alterations in the outline and variations of the type of the cement enamel junction were also detected. The dentin removal produced by root canal instrumentation of the studied teeth was uniform, with no significant differences among the different dentinal walls or in the cervical, medium and apical fragments of the analyzed teeth. The dentinal wall related to the palatogengival groove was thinner before and after the root canal preparation compared with the remaining dentinal walls.

Evaluation of Oral Neutrophil Levels as a Quantitative Measure of Periodontal Inflammatory Load in Patients with Special Needs

Moosani, Anita 22 November 2012 (has links)
Purpose: To validate and assess the feasibility of using an assay of oral neutrophils to measure periodontal inflammation in uncooperative patients with special needs. Methods: Periodontal examination and neutrophil counts derived from oral swabs were performed on patients with special needs having comprehensive dental treatment under general anaesthesia (GA). The conventional periodontal measurements were compared to neutrophil levels while patients were under GA, and later at their recall examination. Results: Forty-nine patients were assessed under GA and 30 (61%) returned for recall examination. Spearman’s correlation allowed for comparisons between periodontal parameters and oral neutrophil counts. Despite limited cooperation, it was possible to acquire neutrophils (using swabs) for all patients that presented for recall examination in the ambulatory dental clinic. Conclusions: Oral neutrophil levels correlated significantly with conventional parameters of gingival inflammation and may serve as a standardized method for clinical assessment of periodontal diseases in the special needs population.

Gingivarezessionen und kieferorthopädische Maßnahmen - Eine Literaturübersicht / Gingival recessions and orthodontic movement - A review

Kleinmann, Peter 05 October 2015 (has links) (PDF)
In der Literatur wird die kieferorthopädische Bewegung auch als ätiologischer Faktor für die Entstehung gingivaler Rezessionen gesehen (Dorfman 1978; Toker und Ozdemir 2009). Bereits 1942 beschäftigte sich Oppenheim mit dem Einfluss der Kieferorthopädie auf das parodontale Gewebe und stellte bereits damals fest, dass selbst bei größter Sorgfalt negative Einflüsse auf das Parodont nicht vermieden werden können (Oppenheim 1942). Nach derzeitiger Datenlage scheint folgende Antwort gerechtfertigt zu sein. Im Zuge einer kieferorthopädischen Therapie kann es zu Rezessionen der marginalen Gingiva kommen und dies kann auch teilweise nicht verhindert werden. Die fachlich korrekt durchgeführte kieferorthopädische Therapie scheint per se kein erhöhtes Risiko für die Entstehung von Rezessionen zu sein. Dies setzt eine sorgfältige prätherapeutische Diagnostik, geeignete Kräfte und Verankerungselemente, Beibehaltung einer suffizienten Mundhygiene und die Beachtung anatomischer Limits voraus.

Nitric Oxide Changes in Gingival Crevicular Fluid Following Orthodontic Force Application

Ford, Heather Nicole 22 November 2013 (has links)
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in regulating the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rat models; however, in humans this role remains less clear. In this study, samples of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were collected from each maxillary central incisor and first and second molar immediately before (T0), 1 hour after (T1), and 3-4 days after (T2) application of light orthodontic forces in thirteen male participants (ages 11-18 years) undergoing orthodontic therapy. NO levels were measured in each GCF sample, and significantly higher NO levels (p<0.05) were found at T1 at the buccal surfaces of the central incisors when compared to the posterior teeth. The results indicate a possible role for NO in OTM at the pressure sites of incisors at early time points. Further studies are required to determine whether NO levels in the PDL of human teeth are affected by the magnitude of an applied force.

Skirtingų titano implantų paviršiaus modifikavimo strategijų poveikis dantenų fibroblastų savybėms / The influence of different modification strategies of Titanium implant surfaces on gingival fibroblasts properties

Vičiūnaitė, Neringa 26 July 2012 (has links)
Baigiamajame darbe įvertintas skirtingų titano implantų paviršiaus modifikavimo strategijų poveikis pirminių dantenų fibroblastų savybėms – adhezijai, proliferacijai ir diferenciacijai. Tyrimuose naudoti titano mėginiai, kurių paviršiaus šiurkštumas pakeistas fizikiniais metodais – smėliasrove ir lazeriu. Iš gingivektomijos metu paimto ţmogaus dantenų subepitelinio audinio buvo išskirtos ir charakterizuotos dantenų fibroblastų ląstelės. Tiriant šių ląstelių adheziją ant modifikuotų titano mėginių paviršių nustatyta, kad ankstyvuoju laikotarpiu dantenų fibloblastų adhezija buvo panaši ant visų tirtų įvairiai modifikuotų titano mėginių paviršių, tačiau vėliau efektyviausias ląstelių prikibimui paviršius buvo lazeriu suformuotos grotelės. Siekiant pagerinti modifikuotų titano paviršių adhezines savybes, jie papildomai buvo padengti tarpląstelinio uţpildo baltymais – kolagenu ir lamininu, įvertintas tokio padengimo poveikis ląstelių prikibimui ir augimui. Analizuojant mechanizmus, reguliuojančius ląstelių adhezijos ant modifikuotų paviršių procesus, buvo tirta FAK ir Akt kinazių raiška ir aktyvinimas. Vertinant karkasų paviršiaus topografijos poveikį ląstelių diferenciacijai, buvo palygintas osteogeninės diferenciacijos laipsnis ląstelėse augintose ant įvairiai modifikuotų titano mėginių paviršių. Darbą sudaro 6 dalys: įvadas, literatūros apţvalga, medţiagos ir metodai, rezultatai ir jų aptarimas, išvados, literatūros sąrašas. Darbo apimtis – p. teksto be priedų, 24 pav., 2 lent... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The influence of different modification strategies of titanium implant surfaces on gingival fibroblasts properties - adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation was studies in this final master thesis. Different titanium surface roughness modifications using physical methods such as sand-blasting as well as laser irradiation were developed. Gingival fibroblasts derived from human gingival subepithelial tissues obtained during gingivectomy were isolated and characterized. The data suggested that the initial adhesion between tested cells and various modified titanium surfaces was similar, but the most efficient surface for subsequent cell attachment was laser-ablated holey arranged in grid-like structures. Additionally, in order to improve the modified titanium surface adhesion properties, these surfaces were coated by extracellular matrix proteins - collagen and laminin. The coating influence on the cell growth and adhesion was evaluated. To analyze the mechanisms regulating cell adhesion processes on the modified surfaces, FAK and Akt kinase expression as well as activation were studied. In order to evaluate the effect of surface topography on cell differentiation, the level of osteogenic differentiation was compared. Structure: introduction, literature review, materials and methods, results and discussion, conclusions, references.
