Peri-implantitis (PI) is the inflammatory reaction of the peri-implant mucosa, accompanied by the progressive loss of supporting bone around the implant, which can compromise its stability, function and aesthetics. It is diagnosed by radiographic measurement of the alveolar bone level, with or without clinical symptoms of inflammation and a probing depth greater than 4 mm. The objective of this work was to review the scientific evidence on the prevalence, etiology, predisposing factors, clinical behavior and imaging characteristics of PI. An electronic search was carried out in Google Scholar, PubMed and Scielo, considering the period between 2010-2022, and a total of 40 articles were selected. It is concluded that the main etiological agent of PI is the biofilm, however, its appearance and severity may be associated with the presence of predisposing factors such as Diabetes Mellitus, sm...

The coronavirus disease 2019 caused by SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Direct transmission occurs by respiratory route, while indirect transmission requires contact with the buccal, nasal or ocular mucosa with contaminated surfaces. In the presence of asymptomatic carriers that transmit the virus, all patients should be treated as possible sources of infection. In dental care, close contact with the patient and saliva puts staff at high risk for cross infection; The practice of dentomaxillofacial radiology in radiological centers or in the dental clinic is not exempt from this risk. The objective of the present literature review was to develop biosafety recommendations for the practice of dentomaxillofacial radiology. The recommendations related to areas and equipment indicate the importance of keeping these areas ventilated, with t...

Cone Beam Computed Tomography offers highly precise 3D images ideal for diagnosis and case planning, although this imaging method involves the use of high doses of radiation. When considering the optimization principle, radiation dose reduction methods aim to modify the technical parameters of the equipment to obtain an ideal combination between dose and image quality. This is important in the pediatric patient because the highest levels of risk are associated with X-ray exposure in this age group. We present the case of an 11-year-old female patient is presented, in which a low-resolution protocol is used to locate the maxillary retained canines. The advantages and practical application of this imaging study method are analyzed by performing variations in exposure parameters. Supported by tomographic images, the surgical procedure is carried out to subsequently a guided eruption, achiev...
