After the outbreak of COVID-19 in the world, during a health crisis, dentistry as a profession with a high level of risk of contamination poses a challenge, for the restructuring of its procedures. In this regard, different approaches to international guidelines have been reviewed with diverse realities and experiences in the field, reaching recommendations for the design and use of optimal personal protective equipment (PPE) in times of scarcity, minimizing the risks of contamination. However, most of these are not supported by dental scientific evidence, while new devices are being developed, minimizing exposure to aerosol-generating procedures (PGA) as physical barriers.

Luego del brote de COVID-19 en el mundo, en medio de una crisis sanitaria, la odontología como profesión de alto nivel de riesgo de contaminación se plantea un reto, para la restructuración de sus procedimientos. Al respecto, se han revisado diferentes enfoques de las guías internacionales con diferentes realidades y experiencias en el campo, llegando a recomendaciones para el diseño y uso del óptimo equipo de protección personal (EPP) en tiempos de escasez, minimizando los riesgos de contaminación. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de estas no están apoyadas con evidencia científica odontológica, mientras que se van desarrollando nuevos dispositivos, minimizando la exposición a procedimientos generadores de aerosoles (PGA) como barreras físicas.

Reporte de un caso clínico de odontoma múltiple del maxilar superior izquierdo, de una paciente de 22 años de edad que recibió tratamiento en el Servicio de Estomatología del Hospital Central F.A.P. durante los meses de enero a marzo de 1998. Esta patología, asocia la presencia simultánea de un gran odontoma complejo y un pequeño odontoma compuesto. El reporte incluye un estudio anatomopatológico que confirma el diagnóstico de estas lesiones.

Establece la comparación del efecto terapéutico de la infiltración intraarticular del hialuronato sódico y los corticoesteroides en el dolor y la disfunción temporomandibular de los pacientes del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen - HNGAI, a través de la disminución del dolor y los ruidos de la ATM, así como el aumento de la movilidad mandibular. El estudio es cuasi-experimental, llevado a cabo en dos grupos de pacientes seleccionados intencionalmente y comparables entre sí, la investigación contempló: la población con padecimiento de DTM susceptible a ser estudiada, la ética y la justificación, la selección de los pacientes con su consentimiento debidamente informado, la descripción minuciosa de la intervención, el seguimiento exhaustivo de la sintomatología dolorosa y los movimientos mandibulares en el tiempo. 1, 2, 4 Se realizó en el Servicio de Odontolog...

Condylar hyperplasia (HC) was first described by Robert Adams in 1836. This mandibular pathology presents several types that affect bone size and morphology, alter occlusion and dentolabial structures, indirectly affect the maxilla, resulting in facial patterns that can be characterized by: mandibular prognathism, unilateral increase of the condyle, neck, branch and body, facial asymmetry, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, neuromuscular imbalance and myofacial pain pathology. This condition of the HC, requires a multidisciplinary treatment, which according to its severity, is the responsibility of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, physiotherapists, plastic surgeons. The diagnosis of HC is based on the anamnesis, the clinical examination and the imaging evaluation, consisting of panoramic cephalometric radiographs, macizo-facial tomography (TEM CBCT), bone scintigraphy an...

La Hiperplasia condilar (HC) fue descrita inicialmente por Robert Adams en 1836. Esta patología mandibular presenta varios tipos que afectan el tamaño y la morfología ósea, alteran la oclusión y las estructuras dentolabiales, afectan indirectamente al maxilar superior, dando como resultado patrones faciales que se pueden caracterizar por: prognatismo mandibular, aumento unilateral del cóndilo, el cuello, la rama y el cuerpo, asimetría facial, disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular, desequilibrio neuromuscular y patología dolorosa miofacial. Esta condición de la HC, hace que requiera de un tratamiento multidisciplinario, que según su severidad, compete a cirujanos bucomaxilofaciales, ortodoncistas, fisioterapeutas y cirujanos plásticos. El diagnóstico de la HC se basa en la anamnesis, el examen clínico y la evaluación imagenológica, consistente en radiografías...

Objective. Determine the frequency and severity of vestibular dehiscences and fenestrations of anterior teeth in orthodontic–surgical patients with skeletal malocclusion, Angle’s Class III; evaluated with presurgical cone-beam computed tomography Methods. Thirty cone-beam computed tomographies of skeletal malocclusion Class III patients with presurgical orthodontic treatment; were evaluated. The sample consisted of on – probabilistic and consecutive cases seen at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos Dental School and at the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital’s Dental Service in Lima, Perú in 2018. The dehiscence was considered as the apical migration of the alveolar margin bone starting at 2 mm from the cementoenamel junction, and the fenestration was considered as the exposure of the root portion, excluding the alveolar margin bone; starting at 0.5 mm. Result...

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological profile of 12- to 16-year-old adolescents with Down syndrome in the Special Basic Education Center in Lima—Peru. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed, where the epidemiological profile was determined through the DMF-T index, oral hygiene index (OHI), and the gingival index from Silness and Löe. A sample of 107 adolescents with Down syndrome in a Peruvian rural population were considered who were evaluated with the formula of proportion estimation, of which 48 (44.8%) were females and 55 (59%) males. Results: Patients with mild to moderate Down syndrome were with a caries prevalence of 42 and 27.1%, respectively. Likewise, class III malocclusion was present in 42.9 and 25.2%. The most prevalent OHI was the regular category with 66.2%. Conclusion: It was evident in mild Down syndrome adolesce...

Aim: To compare in vitro the remineralizing effect of toothpastes with casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (FPC–FCA) and sodium fluoride on the artificial erosion of tooth enamel. Materials and methods: For the first phase of artificial erosion, group I was considered as the control group without treatment or erosion. For groups II and IV, the drink was used (Coca-Cola®), for groups III and V, the drink (Inca-Kola®), and the four groups were demineralized four times a day (every 3 hours for 2 minutes) for 5 days. In the treatment phase in groups II and III, brushing was performed with sodium fluoride paste (Colgate®), groups IV and V received brushing with FPC–FCA complex (MiPaste®), and for all groups, the same procedure was performed four times a day (every 3 hours for 5 minutes) for 90 days. At the end, the microroughness of the surfaces of all the groups was e...
