ABSTRACT Hypodontia is the most prevalent craniofacial malformation in mankind. It may present a wide variety of manifestations and, depending on the number and location of missing teeth, it may affect the esthetics, mastication, speech and occlusal balance. This paper discusses the therapeutic approaches to solve this condition, describing a case report with hypodontia of one mandibular lateral incisor, which treatment option included space closure at the region of hypodontia associated with composite resin restorations in the mandibular central incisors. The three-year follow-up after treatment revealed occlusal stabilit...

Evaluation of tongue/mandible volume ratio in children with obstructive sleep apnea
Conclusion: TV/MV ratio may be an appropriate variable to evaluate the risk of OSA, representing the balance between skeletal morphology and soft tissue morphology in craniofacial complex.Resumo Objetivo: o presente estudo foi uma tentativa de investigar a rela ção volumétrica língua/mandíbula em crianças, usando imagens de ressonância magnética (IRM), para triagem inicial e como meio auxiliar no plano de tratamento. Métodos: a avaliação da relação volume da língua/volume da mandíbula (relação VL/VM) em crianças com apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) utilizando IRM foi realizada retrospectivamente em ima...

Evidence in Orthodontics related to qualitative research
Conclusions: Because of its potential to explore behaviours and socio-cultural attitudes sustained in subjectivity, qualitative research offers new possibilities for orthodontic studies and can be used in an exclusive or complementary way in relation to quantitative methods.RESUMO Introdu ção: a pesquisa em Ortodontia tem, historicamente, seguido um modelo baseado na relação direta de causa e efeito entre doenças e seus fatores etiológicos específicos. Apesar da objetividade e do grande potencial de procedimentos estatísticos, métodos quantitativos têm, progressivamente, c ompartilhado espaço com outros modelo...

Canine transposition as an alternative to trauma of the maxillary incisors: case report
Conclusions: Dental transposition carried out by means of orthopedic traction is a good alternative in cases of a very unfavorable ectopic tooth position.RESUMO Objetivo: o presente relato de caso descreve uma paciente que sofreu trauma aos dois anos de idade, causando deslocamento apical quase completo do incisivo central esquerdo dec íduo e do incisivo permanente. Métodos: a ectopia resultante da intrusão foi minimizada pela remoção cirúrgica do dente ectópico, e o canino permanente esquerdo foi tracionado ortodonticamente para substituir o dente extraído. Resultados: o período de tratamento durou 36 meses...

Side effects of mandibular advancement splints for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review
Conclusion: The limited available evidence suggests that mandibular advancement splint therapy for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea results in changes in craniofacial morphology that are predominantly dental in nature, specially on a long-term basis. Considering the chronic nature of obstructive sleep apnea and that oral appliance use might be a lifelong treatment, a thorough customized follow-up should therefore be undertaken to detect possible side effects on craniofacial complex. It is also important to provide adequate information to the patients regarding these possible changes, especially to those in whom larger ...

There is no pulp necrosis or calcific metamorphosis of pulp induced by orthodontic treatment: biological basis
ABSTRACT To biologically explain why the orthodontic treatment does not induce pulp necrosis and calcific metamorphosis of the pulp, this paper presents explanations based on pulp physiology, microscopy and pathology, and especially the cell and tissue phenomena that characterize the induced tooth movement. The final reflections are as follows: 1) the orthodontic movement does not induce pulp necrosis or calcific metamorphosis of the pulp; 2) there is no literature or experimental and clinical models to demonstrate or minimally evidence pulp alterations induced by orthodontic movement; 3) when pulp necrosis or calcific met...

Digital platform for planning facial asymmetry orthodontic-surgical treatment preparation
ABSTRACT Dentofacial deformities usually are surgically treated, and 3D virtual planning has been used to favor accurate outcomes. Cases reported in the present article show that orthognathic surgery carried out to correct facial asymmetries does not comprise only one treatment protocol. 3D virtual planning might be used for surgical planning, but it should also be used to diagnose the deformity, thus allowing for an analysis of the best-recommended possibilities for the orthodontic preparation that suits each individual case.RESUMO As deformidades dentofaciais s ão, geralmente, tratadas de forma cirúrgica, e o planejame...

Biosafety conducts adopted by orthodontists
Conclusions: The sterilization and cleaning of pliers, instruments, and bands, besides the use of PPE, received more uniform and positive responses, while other items suggest disagreements and possible failures. Only orthodontists trained for more than 13 years choose using glutaraldehyde for pliers sterilization/disinfection, the only adopted method with a significant difference in relation to training time.RESUMO Objetivo: o presente estudo observacional transversal foi delineado para avaliar as condutas de biosseguran ça adotadas pelos ortodontistas, e as possíveis diferenças em função do tempo de formação. M...

Comparative effects of the Mandibular Protraction Appliance in adolescents and adults
Conclusion: Adult patients treated with MPA showed less significant amounts of skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue changes than adolescents.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar os efeitos esquel éticos, dentários e em tecidos moles do Aparelho de Protração Mandibular (APM) em pacientes adolescentes e adultos com má oclusão de Classe II. Métodos: a amostra consistiu das telerradiografias pré- e pós-tratamento de 39 indivíduos com má oclusão de Classe II tratados com APM e aparel hos fixos. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: o Grupo 1 compreendeu 23 indivíduos (10 homens e 13 mu...

Concepts, protocol, variations and current trends in surgery first orthognathic approach: a literature review
ABSTRACT In the current era of expedited orthodontics, among many clinicians, tertiary care hospitals and patients, surgery first orthognathic approach (SFOA) has gained popularity. The advantages of SFOA (face first approach) are the reduced overall treatment duration and the early improvement in facial esthetics. In SFOA, the absence of a presurgical phase allows surgery to be performed first, followed by comprehensive orthodontic treatment to achieve the desired occlusion. The basic concepts of surgery early, surgery last, SFOA and Sendai SFOA technique along with its variations are reviewed in the present article. The ...
