Introduction: In the field of medicinal plants and their benefits on oral health, research on Aloe vera is found, however, these are mainly developed in the observation on inflammation and not in the whole process of alveolar healing. As a result, this quasi-experimental and longitudinal study was performed. Objective: To determine the tissue response of alveoli in Cavia porcellus mandibular incisors after intra-alveolar application of Aloe vera. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four animals were selected and divided into 2 groups (experimental and control group). The evolution of the tissue response was evaluated in periods of 24 hours, 7 and 14 days in each group. Results: Several results were obtained in each period, with an improvement in the reaction phases of inflammatory cells and granulation, otherwise in the phases of epithelialization and osteogenesis. Conclusion: The Aloe vera ha...

Una principal preocupación de los pacientes es mejorar la estética dental mediante el blanqueamiento, por ello existen productos como pastas dentales blanqueadoras que intentan satisfacer esa necesidad. Para confirmar el efecto clínico de blanqueamiento de cinco pastas dentales con esta propiedad en piezas dentales anteriores, se estructuraron cinco grupos experimentales para cada pasta, conformadas por 5 participantes por grupo, de 18 a 25 años de edad y un grupo control. El color fue evaluado con un colorimetro de blanqueamiento VITA mediante observación directa y lectura final a las 7 semanas. Se calibró la técnica de cepillado y tipo de cepillo. Se observó una variación leve del color para todas las pastas dentales tanto las experimentales como e1 control. Se encontró diferencias significativas de cambio de color del pre y post evaluación en dos pastas dentales (Colgate Ma...

Objetivo: Determinar el perfil de salud oral de los pacientes diagnosticados con miastenia gravis de la Asociación Miastenia Gravis Perú (Lima). Material y métodos: Se realizó un muestreo no aleatorio con la participación de 75 pacientes con diagnóstico de miastenia gravis, a los cuales se les evaluó la prevalencia y el promedio de caries según el índice CPOd, índice de higiene oral IHO, tipo de maloclusión dentaria y simetría facial. Resultados: Se encontró una prevalencia de caries dental del 100%, con un promedio de 17,26 piezas dentales con experiencia de caries, y el 42,7% de los pacientes presentó un nivel deficiente de higiene oral. Asimismo, se encontró un 38,7% y un 24,0% con maloclusión clase II y III, respectivamente, y el 74,7% presentó asimetría facial, siendo estas las características principales de su perfil de salud oral.
