ABSTRACT Obesity is a wide-spread condition directly or indirectly connected with an increase in the prevalence of a variety of human diseases. It affects over 50% of the western overall population. In 2017, a thorough analysis of 204 studies on obesity and cancer revealed that the condition increases the risk of the following types of cancer: stomach, colon, rectal, bile duct, pancreatic, esophagus, breast, endometrial, ovarian, kidney and multiple myeloma. The first study aiming at establishing a connection between obesity and the rate of induced orthodontic tooth movement was conducted by Saloom et al; however, it could...

Early vertical correction of the deep curve of Spee
ABSTRACT Even though few technological advancements have occurred in Orthodontics recently, the search for more efficient treatments continues. This paper analyses how to accelerate and improve one of the most arduous phases of orthodontic treatment, i.e., correction of the curve of Spee. The leveling of a deep curve of Spee can happen simultaneously with the alignment phase through a method called Early Vertical Correction (EVC). This technique uses two cantilevers affixed to the initial flexible archwire. This paper describes the force system produced by EVC and how to control its side effects. The EVC can reduce treatme...

Agenesis of mandibular second premolar in patient with dental bimaxillary protrusion
ABSTRACT The present study reports the treatment carried out in a patient with mandibular second premolar agenesis associated with early loss of a deciduous second molar, deep overbite, severe overjet and dentoalveolar bimaxillary protrusion, which led to lip incompetence and a convex facial profile. The main objectives of this treatment were: to eliminate the spaces in mandibular arch, correct overbite, as well as eliminate bimaxillary protrusion and lip incompetence, thus leading to a balanced profile. The case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the requireme...

Do different vertical positions of maxillary central incisors influence smile esthetics perception?
CONCLUSION: The vertical position of the maxillary central incisors significantly affected the perception of the smile esthetics, whereas slightly extruded central incisors were more esthetically preferred than intruded.RESUMO OBJETIVO: o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a percep ção da estética do sorriso, entre ortodontistas e leigos, em relação a diferentes posições verticais de incisivos centrais superiores, em análises de face completa e do sorriso aproximado. MÉTODOS: foram utilizadas fotografias frontais de sorrisos de duas mulheres adultas. As imagens foram alteradas para criar uma imagem simét...

Subjective facial analysis and its correlation with dental relationships
CONCLUSION: Facial Patterns I and II were the most prevalent in children and the less prevalent was the Short Face Pattern. A significant concordance was observed between profile and frontal subjective facial analysis. There was slight concordance between the Facial Pattern and the sagittal dental relationships. The anterior open bite (AOB) was not significantly prevalent in any Facial Pattern.RESUMO INTRODU ÇÃO: a análise facial subjetiva é um método diagnóstico que privilegia a avaliação morfológica da face; assim, o principal objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparar os diagnósticos faciais e dentários e i...

The influence of sagittal position of the mandible in facial attractiveness and social perception
CONCLUSIONS: The profiles pointed as the most attractive were also pointed as more favorable to be hired to a job position and pointed also as having the best socioeconomic condition.RESUMO OBJETIVO: a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo comparar a percep ção de ortodontistas, cirurgiões bucomaxilofaciais, artistas visuais e leigos ao avaliar a influência do posicionamento sagital da mandíbula, em vista lateral, na atratividade facial; na contratação para um emprego; e na percepção do perfil socioeconômico. MÉTODOS: um homem negro, um hom em branco, uma mulher negra e uma mulher branca com faces harmoniosas s...

Six-month bracket failure rate with a flowable composite: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Both systems had clinically acceptable bond failure rates and are adequate for orthodontic bonding needs.RESUMO INTRODU ÇÃO: o uso de resinas compostas fluidas como agentes de cimentação em Ortodontia tem merecido grande atenção, em função de sua adequada capacidade adesiva, facilidade de uso clínico e número reduzido de etapas de colagem. OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo randomizado controlado foi avali ar o índice de falhas nos 6 meses após a colagem com uma resina composta fluida (Heliosit Orthodontic, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan), em comparação com um adesivo ortodôntico convencional (Tr...

Evaluation of the rapid and slow maxillary expansion using cone-beam computed tomography: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: Only intermolar angle showed significant difference between the two modalities of maxillary expansion with greater buccal tipping for RME. Also, RME produced skeletal maxillary expansion and SME did not. Both maxillary expansion modalities were efficient to promote transversal gain at dentoalveolar level. Sagittal and vertical measurements did not show differences between groups, but RME promoted a forward movement of the maxilla and backward rotation of the mandible.RESUMO OBJETIVO: o objetivo do presente ensaio cl ínico randomizado foi avaliar as transformações dentárias, dentoalveolares e ósseas que ...

Does the CO2 laser reduce bond strength in different types of ceramic brackets?
CONCLUSION: CO2 laser irradiation decreased SBS values of the polycrystalline ceramic brackets, mainly Allure.RESUMO OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a influ ência do laser de CO2 sobre a resistência ao cisalhamento da colagem (RCC) no esmalte dentário, usando diferentes tipos de braquetes cerâmicos. MÉTODOS: no total, 60 superfícies de esmalte de incisivos bovinos foram obtidas e aleatoriamente divididas em dois grupos, de acordo com o braquete c erâmico utilizado: Allure (A) e Transcend (T). Cada grupo foi dividido em dois subgrupos (n = 15): L, laser (10W, 3s); C, sem laser, ou controle. ...

Discoloration and force degradation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures
CONCLUSION: There is significant relationship between the stretching pattern and the amount of residual force of elastomers. Elastomers with higher initial forces exhibited higher percentages of force loss after 8 weeks. It seems that there is a relationship between initial color and color changing of elastomers.RESUMO OBJETIVO: o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar as altera ções de cor e a degradação da força de ligaduras elásticas em diferentes padrões de estiramento, durante um período de 8 semanas. MÉTODOS: duas ligaduras elásticas com alteração mínima de cor, duas com alteração máxima de cor e ...

MÉTODOS: foram realizadas buscas estratégicas nas bases eletrônicas: Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed e Scopus, até 15 de janeiro de 2016. Os critérios de inclusão foram: estudos clínicos controlados e...

An interview with
ABSTRACT Premaxilla, in its early descriptions, had the participation of Goethe. In our face, in a certain period of growth and development processes, premaxilla is an independent and, then, a semi-independent bone to finally be totally integrated to the maxilla. Formation of the premaxilla acts as a stabilization element inside the facial skeleton comparable to the cornerstone of a Roman arch and is closely related to the development of human face and its abnormal growth with characteristic malformations. Until when the premaxillary-maxillary suture remains open and offers opportunities to orthopedically influence facial ...
