O tratamento endodôntico é constituído por uma sequência de fases que devem ser respeitadas e conduzidas com o mesmo grau de importância para o sucesso da terapia endodôntica. Atenção especial é dada a fase do o preparo biomecânico do canal radicular, que pode ocasionar extrusão de restos pulpares, tecido necrosado, rapas de dentina e substâncias químicas auxiliares através do forame apical, provocando uma reação inflamatória ou flare-up. Com o intuito de se obter um pós-operatório com êxito, realizou-se um estudo com o objetivo de avaliar, ex vivo, a quantidade de material extruído através do forame apical durante o preparo do canal radicular pelas seguintes técnicas: manual Step-Back, mecanizada rotatórias Crown Down e Free Tip Preparation. Trinta incisivos inferiores foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em 3 grupos (n=10), de acordo com as seguintes técnicas de instrumentação: G1- técnica manual Step Back (controle); G2- Crown Down; G3- Free Tip Preparation. Todos os grupos foram instrumentados a 0,5mm aquém do forame apical. O material extruído foi coletado em um Dispositivo Coletor de Material Extruído(DCME), confeccionado especificamente para essa finalidade e a extrusão apical foi calculada pela determinação da massa de material sólido extruído. Os valores obtidos foram analisados pelo teste de Kruskal- Wallis e o teste complementar de Dunn`s Multiple, com P=0.05, como nível de significância estatística. Os resultados mostraram que a técnica Step-Back promoveu maior quantidade de material extruído através do forame apical; e que não houve diferença estatística significante entre as técnicas Crown Down e Free Tip Preparation. Pode-se concluir também que houve extrusão de material sólido através do forame apical em todas as técnicas de instrumentação estudadas. / Endodontic treatment is constituted of a sequence of stages that must be respected and performed with the same degree of importance in order to ensure the success of endodontic therapy. Special attention is paid to the stage of biomechanical preparation of the root canal, which may cause the extrusion of pulp remainders, necrotic tissue, dentin scrapings and auxiliary chemical substances through the apical foramen, causing an inflammatory reaction or flare-up. With the intention of achieving successful post-operative period, a study was conducted with the aim of making an ex vivo evaluation of the quantity of material extruded through the apical foramen during root canal preparation, by means of the following techniques: manual Step-Back, mechanized rotary Crown Down and Free Tip Preparation. Afterwards, the teeth were randomly assigned to three equal groups (n=15) according to post length, as follows: G1 manual Step-Back technique (control); G2 - Crown Down; G3 - Free Tip Preparation. All the groups were instrumented to 0.5 mm short of the apical foramen. The extruded was collected in an Extruded Material Collecting Device (EMCD), made specifically for this purpose, and apical extrusion was calculated by determining the mass of solid material extruded. The values obtained were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test and complementary Dunns Multiple test, with P=0.05, as the level of statistical significance. The results showed that the Step-Back technique promoted the largest amount of material extruded through the apical foramen; and that there was no statistically significant difference between the Crown Down and Free Tip Preparations. It could also be concluded that there was extrusion of solid material through the apical foramen in all the studied instrumentation techniques used.

Title: The effect of chosen manual techniques on static and dynamic postural stability in physiotherapy students. Aims: The main aim of this study is to assess the effect of chosen manual techniques on participants' static and dynamic postural stability. Summary: The study was done from May to December 2019. A total of 100 subjects aged 19-38years took part in the study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups - experimental and control. Postural stability was measured by the following tests: Star Excursion Balance test, Unipedal Stance test, Timed Up and Go test and Sit to Stand test. These standardised measurements were taken before intervention, after intervention and a week from intervention. Experimental group undertook the intervention by manual techniques, which took 20 minutes. Outcomes were written into recording sheets. Final data were processed using Microsoft Excel 2013, IBM SPSS Statistics V26 and TIBCO Statistica 13.3.0. To calculate differences, the following statistical methods were used: Shapiro-Wilk test, independent T-test and Mann-Whitney U test. To measure effect size, Cohen's d was used. The level of statistical significance was determined to α = 0,05. The clinical significance was assessed by these levels: d = 0,2-0,49 (small effect), d = 0,5-0,79 (medium effect),...
