Professional performance of graduates in dentistry, is not only exclusive in the area of oral diseases treatment, but, as a bearer of professional identity, he leads the process of societal transformation and the development of the profession, exercising positions in university educational institutions, in scientific and professional dental institutions unions. Models that accredit university carriers recognize the graduate bachelor and his social performance as an important factor for the issue of quality judgments of the carrier in mention. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the presence of graduates of dentistry from Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in professional institutions through time, and motivate members of San Marcos dental community about the role to play in the development of Peruvian Dentistry, analyzing the role of San Marcos dental graduates in leading scien...

Since the early 1990s, British dentists described the presence of the sphenomandibular muscle as a chewing muscle, then it was studied by Brazilian and Bolivian dentists, still exists the erroneous idea that his presence is real and has been questioned as an independent muscle. Objective: To demonstrate the presence of muscle sphenomandibular as independent muscle and its relationship with the temporal muscle. Material and methods: Followed a special dissection process suggested by Campohermoso et al, to verify the sphenomandibular muscle; they worked with seven human hemicabezas. Results: all specimens studied showed muscle sphenomandibular, checking an insertion in the front part of the bone pterygoid process sphenoid retromaxillary very close to the cleft sphenoidal close to the entrance of the common ocular motor nerve, and an insert lower on the crest o...

Aim: To compare the sealing capacity of mineral trioxide (MTA®) and tricalcium silicate (Biodentine®) for retrograde filling in single-root permanent teeth. Materials and methods: Thirty-eight permanent single-root teeth with complete apical closure were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 15): Group 1: MTA®, and Group 2: Biodentine®, in addition to positive and negative controls. Root treatment was performed with the MTWO rotary system, and obturation was carried out by means of the continuous wave thermoplastic system (Beefill) using Grossman-type cement as a sealant. Apical end apicoectomy was performed followed by the preparation of standardized retro-apical cavities and the respective fillings with MTA ® and Biodentine® according to the study group. Subsequently, the specimens were subjected to an apical filtration process of Chinese ink and transpa...
