The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of gingival biotypes according Seibert and Lindhe in patients with permanent dentition treated in the Second Unit Specialization Stomatology (USEE) - UNT during 2015. This is an observational study, descriptive and cross which was carried out in the dental clinic USEE National University of Trujillo, during the months of January to June 2015. The sample consisted of 286 patients who were underwent an analysis of the gingival biotype, the amount of interdental papilla and dental form using a WHO periodontal probe type and recording data on a special form for this purpose. For comparison of the gingival biotype with interdental papilla height, tooth shape and gender Chi square test was used for comparison and the gingival biotype with age the Mann Whitney U test was used. Statistical significance was 5%. It was ultimately determined...

ABSTRACT Background: Although titanium is a popular material in implantology, its greyish colour can lead to aesthetic problems. Therefore, research has focused on finding a material for implants that has the same colour of the tooth, in order to improve its aesthetic appearance, and at the same time is highly biocompatible and able to withstand the forces present in the oral cavity. Objective: To determine the survival rates of zirconium oxide dental implants, using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Material and methods: A literature search was conducted up to December 2015 in the biomedical databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The selection criteria of the studies considered to use zirconium oxide dental implants, with a maximum age of 5 years, that reported survival rates, time greater than or equal to one year follow-up, and a sample size equal to or gr...

Resumen: En la práctica odontológica, es frecuente encontrar alteraciones con sintomatología dolorosa en la región maxilofacial, las cuales no son apropiadamente diagnosticadas, a causa del desconocimiento de síndromes craneofaciales y cervicofaríngeos, como el Síndrome de Eagle. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir los aspectos generales, diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome de Eagle. El Síndrome de Eagle o estilalgia es la entidad nosológica, descrita por Watt W. Eagle en 1937, definida como aquel dolor orofacial relacionado con la elongación de la apófisis estiloides y calcificación del ligamento estilohioideo; el cual está acompañado de síntomas como: disfonía, disfagia, dolor faríngeo, glositis, otalgia, tonsilitis, dolor facial, cefalea, odinofagia, dolor en la articulación temporomandibular e imposibilidad de realizar movimientos laterales del cuello. E...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of benzocaine 20% gel and lidocaine in 10% solution in patients requiring puncture in the oral mucosa. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial to triple-blind, cross-over design. It was held at the dental clinic of the Unit of Second Specialization in Dentistry (usee) of the National University of Trujillo, in the months of November and December 2010 and January to March 2011. The sample consisted of 60 patients, each patient signed an informed consent and underwent a review of their status by anxiety scale state-trait anxiety (STAI). Before the puncture in the oral mucosa four preparations (2 topical anesthetics and 2 placebo) and then determine and compare the effectiveness of preparations in reducing pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied. For data collection a special token was used for that...

Objective. To compare the hardness, dimensional stability, and compressive strength of high-strength, low-expansion dental plasters available in Peru, according to ADA criteria. Methods. A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was developed. A selection of 8 cylindrical-shaped samples and 8 rectangular- shaped ones, from seven high-resistance, low-expansion dental plasters were fabricated. The hardness was evaluated using the Identec Universal Durometer. Dimensional stability was evaluated with a digital caliper and compressive strength was evaluated with the Instron Universal Testing Machine. To determine if there is a difference in each of these properties, the analysis of variance, F test, and the Duncan’s test were used. In addition, to assess whether these values differ from those of the ADA, the mean comparison test, student’s t table, were used. Results. The har...

Antecedentes: Los trastornos temporomandibulares (TTM) están relacionados con una serie de manifestaciones clínicas que aparecen en forma de dolor. Actualmente, existe controversia sobre la aparición de los TTM tras el tratamiento de ortodoncia. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la asociación entre el tratamiento de ortodoncia y la aparición de Trastornos Temporomandibulares (TTM). Material y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica hasta abril de 2022, en las siguientes bases de datos electrónicas: Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar y Web of Science. Se incluyeron estudios que fueran de casos y controles y de cohortes, que trataran sobre la asociación entre el tratamiento ortodóncico y los TTM, en inglés y español, y sin límite temporal. Se utilizó la escala Newcastle-Ottawa para evaluar el riesgo en los estudios incluidos. AdemÃ...

Background: The purpose of this review is to determine the association between the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in newborns and periodontal disease in pregnant women. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out until November 2021 in the following biomedical databases: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scielo, LILACS and Google Scholar. Studies reporting the association between the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in newborns with periodontal disease in pregnant women, which were systematic reviews, in English and without time limits were included. AMSTAR-2 was used to assess the risk of the included studies, and the GRADEPro GDT tool was used to assess the quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendation of the results. Results: The preliminary search yielded a total of 161 articles, discarding those that did not ...
