Introducción: El portafolio recoge un conjunto de evidencias del proceso de aprendizaje y muestra productos dentro de los distintos ámbitos desarrollados en el programa de la maestría en ortodoncia. Desarrollo temático: Se realizaron 3 trabajos académicos: (1) un sílabo, (2) un análisis crítico de la literatura y (3) un proyecto de investigación. Los 3 productos están relacionados y centrados dentro de un mismo eje temático, orientado a la importancia de la evaluación y manejo del plano oclusal dentro de los procedimientos ortodóntico-quirúrgicos y su relación con la inclinación de los incisivos superiores e inferiores. Conclusiones: Del portafolio se concluye que: la elaboración de un sílabo que cumpla con todos los parámetros de objetivos y competencias para el estudiante requiere un entendimiento profundo de las necesidades de aprendizaje de los estudiantes particip...

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify differences in aesthetic perception regarding incisal plane edging (IPC), midline deviation (MLD), and maxillary dental midline angulation (MLA) among natural individuals, undergraduate students, and graduate students at a Peruvian university. Material and methods: A photograph of a subject was digitally manipulated to generate a symmetrical facial model (SFM). Subsequently, alterations were introduced to the incisal plane and dental midline, incorporating variations in deviations and angulations with distinct values. A virtual survey was administered to 60 natural individuals, 30 undergraduate students, and 30 graduate students, gathering information regarding their aesthetic preferences. Results: The analysis revealed that images which were consistently rated by the majority within each group as "very unaesthetic" included the following: ...

Objective: To determine the levels of proinflammatory cytokines around miniscrews with and without loading, used during orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: A descriptive longitudinal study was executed with a sample of ten miniscrews inserted in patients that attended a dental clinic. Saliva and peri-implant crevicular fluid samples were taken: at baseline (T0), 24 hours after insertion (T1), 1 week after insertion (T2), 24 hours after loading (T3). The samples obtained were processed by immunoassay and read with a flow cytometer. Results: Data analysis was performed using the SPSS program version 21.0. To verify normal distribution, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used, followed by ANOVA to compare and determine statistical significance. Levels of inflammatory mediators in the peri-implant crevicular fluid at T1 had the following order of average values: IL-8>IL-1β >IL-6>...
