Objective: The aim of this in vitro comparative study was to compare the compressive strength of three different filling restorative materials that are frequently used in pediatric dentistry. Materials and methods: A total of 270 specimens (n=90 per group) of Cention N®, EQUIA Forte® Fil, and Riva Light Cure HV® were prepared following the manufacturer's instructions. The compressive strength was tested using a crosshead speed of 0.75±0.30 mm/min along the long axis of the specimens by means of a universal test machine. The tests were performed on the specimens after 24, 48, and 72h of storage at 37ºC, with a relative air humidity of 50±10%. Data were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: After the three periods of evaluation, Cention N® exhibited higher mean values (166.2±36.3 MPa at 24h, 153.8±40.2 MPa at 48h and 167.3±36.2 MPa at 7...

  Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands that is characterized by its broad pleomorphic architecture. It represents 53-77% of all salivary gland neoplasms, mainly affecting the major salivary glands; however the minor salivary glands is an infrequent site of occurrence, representing 5-10% of cases, mainly on the palate and lip, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea. The confirmatory diagnosis is performed with a histopathological study. The indicated treatment is the wide resection of the tumor. It is essential to know the surgical technique to avoid the recurrence of the disorder. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to describe three  cases of PA located in infrequent sites of PA, such as the minor salivary glands. 

La hipomelanosis de Ito (incontinencia pigmentante acromática o nevo sistémico acrómico) es una enfermedad dermatológica o síndrome neurocutáneo de ocurrencia rara, que consiste en la presencia de manchas dérmicas hipopigmentadas en varias partes del cuerpo, además de múltiples manifestaciones extracutáneas, principalmente del sistema nerviosocentral (posible retraso mental de diferentes grados), musculo-esqueléticas y oculares. También ha sido asociada con diversas anomalías dentales, como son la hipodoncia y el talón cuspídeo palatino. El propósito del presente artículo es reportar el manejo estomatológico proporcionado a una niña de 2 años y 7 meses de edad con hipomelanosis de Ito, enla clínica del Posgrado en Estomatología Pediátrica, de la Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí.
