The treatment was performed in a female patient 67 years old, with good health status, who came wearing an uncomfortable, for their physiological and aesthetics functions, removable partial dental prosthesis. At initial examination the patients shows an upper removable partial dentures with a great incisal and occlusal wear, poor support and retention, with loss of vertical occlusal dimension, loss of facial contour, Class II Kennedy 2 edentulism, with preserved alveolar ridge and f 1.7 1.3 and 2.3 as the only present teeth. In the lower arch There was partial edentulism Class III modification 1t, without actual denture with very reabsorbed alveolar ridge, with 3.8, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.8 as the actual teeth It was restored VOD by making metal ceramic crowns islands with metal supports and occlusal reciprocal arms for 1.7, 3.8 and 4.5 abutments. It was made a...

Compara la resistencia al desgaste por fricción de dos materiales restauradores de nanotecnología utilizados en la restauración directa de dientes pilares de prótesis parcial removible. Se confeccionaron 40 muestras de distintos materiales, se dividieron en 4 grupos: Grupo A: 10 muestras de resina nanohíbrida TetricN- Ceram TM Ivoclar Vivadent., Grupo B: 10 muestras de resina de nanorrelleno marca FiltekTM Z350 3M ESPE, Grupo C: 10 de amalgama dispersa Pentalloy 2000 sin fase gamma 2 y Grupo D: 10 con esmalte dentario como grupo control. Se sometió a desgaste por fricción cada una de las muestras, con la ayuda de una máquina elaborada para tal fin, mediante 3 ciclos de desgaste: de 2000 deslizamientos, de 4000 deslizamientos y de 8000 deslizamientos. También se procedió a observar los surcos y porosidades formadas después de cada ciclo de desgaste mediante microscopio estereos...

The main objective of this study was to determine the profile of oral health and disease of the elderly adults of urban Lima, taking into account the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease, oral mucosa injuries and treatment needs. Descriptive and transversal study was using over 120 elderly adults (over 60 years old), living in Lima center and district. Data collection was performed by the method of clinical observation and interview using rates and procedures of the WHO. The results obtained were: average age 71 years, high prevalence of the female gender (70%) and secondary education, presence of hypertension with 33 % and diabetes mellitus with 10.8%, the mucosal disorders in 10.8 %, with ulceration type localized on the palate and alveolar ridges. Also was observed presence of calculi and periodontal bleeding in 52% of the population. The study subjects requiring prophylax...

One of the aims of a root-end filling material placed in an apicectomy treatment is to provide apical seal that can inhibits the coronary migration of antigens to perirradicular tissues. Many materials are used for this end; however, to date there has not been any material that satisfies all the requirements of an ideal material. With the purpose of making a comparative analysis of the apical sealing abilities of three root-end filling materials: silver amalgam, glass ionomer and MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate), in the leakage process of Enterococcus Faecalis bacteria and the time used for it to leak via coronary toward the perirradicular area, the present investigation was made. Leakage was proven when veering the fenol red glucose, in which the apexes of the sample teeth were submerged, to a temperature of 37ºC. The results showed that specimens that leakage in longer than 70 days we...

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...
