After two years of having identified in Wuhan - China the respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has caused the last global pandemic, we continue to experience the uncertainty of what is known, what is not yet known and observing what that the pandemic is leaving us. Among the many health problems that have been caused by the pandemic, stomatological problems have not only increased due to lack of care, but also some epidemiological data that characterized them have changed. Thus, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have almost doubled in number in adolescents and young adults, which is associated with the multiple adverse psychological reactions that have generated excessive fear, anxiety and depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this publication is to present a review of the current context of temporomandibular disorders.

Desde el primer caso reportado en Wuhan - China en diciembre del 2019, la infección por el COVID-19 causó un impredecible impacto de la salud mundial que condujo aquella Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) la declarara “pandemia” en marzo de 2020. A la fecha se han reportado alrededor de 350 millones de infectados y 5.6 millones de muertes debido a esta infección respiratoria, por lo que las estrategias para el control de la infección, así como las medidas de salud pública son claves para frenar la propagación de la enfermedad.

El granuloma inguinal (Donovanosis) de la cavidad oral es muy raro, sin embargo representa lamanifestación extragenital mas frecuente de esta infección producida por la bacteria gramnegativa Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. Se describe un caso de donovanosis gingival en unhombre homosexual de 19 años de edad. Las lesiones gingivales se presentaron como úlcerasmicrogranulomatosas combinadas con zonas esponjosas. El paciente también tenía lesiones enlas regiones submandibulares y perianal. El diagnóstico se estableció por biopsia gingival. Eneste tejido, las secciones teñidas con hematoxilina - eosina mostraron una marcada reaccióngranulomatosa compuesta por histiocitos, mezclados con abundante cantidad de neutrófilos ypocas células plasmática. Los cuerpos de Donovan fueron identificados usando la coloración deWarthin-Starry . Se discute el diagnóstico clínico diferencial a...

Objective: To determine the antibacterial, in vitro activity of ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara), on the oral biofilm bacteria cultures. Material and methods: An in vitro experimental study was carried out, in which the antibacterial activity of an ethanolic extract of C. spinosa and the controls (chlorhexidine 0.12%, oral antiseptic (OA), ethanol and distilled water), were compared to strain cultures strains of Streptococcus mutans (ATCC® 25175), Streptococcus sanguinis (ATCC® 10556), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC® 29212), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC® 6538) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC® 30277). The agar diffusion method with 6 mm diameter wells was used, with the experimental group and controls Results: It was evident that the average of the inhibition zone formed by the application of the ethanolic extract of C. spinosa on S. aureus was much larger than the one ...

Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity, through the agar diffusion method with wells, of camu camu (CC) against oral microorganisms. Methods: Strains of S. aureus, S. mutans, C. albicans and P. gingivalis were inoculated in Petri dishes. Ethanolic extracts (EEs) of peel, pulp and CC seed and controls (0.12% chlorhexidine, oral antiseptic, 70° alcohol and distilled water) were loaded into 6 mm diameter wells. All plates were incubated for 24-48 h and 11 days (P. gingivalis) at 35°C and the antimicrobial activity was determined by the formation of a zone of microbial growth inhibition (ZMGI), around the wells and measured by a Vernier caliper, by a researcher, calibrated interexaminer. The average of the different ZMGI areas (mm) was determined. The experiment was executed between 3 and 14 replicas. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied (p<0.05). Results: Seed...
