Condylar dysfunctional remodeling and recortication: a case-control study.
CONCLUSIONS: According to this study, pharmacological protocol in the therapy of TMD does not seem to affect condylar cortication. Medicaments although seem to accelerate the disappearance of clinic symptomatology, but more researches are needed to valid these findings.

Oral mucosal complications in orthodontic treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Orthodontic therapy offers a considerable number of advantages, but it is important to underline what may be the adverse consequences also. This allows the orthodontist to inform the patient of all the possible effects of their therapeutic choice. In most cases, RPE can cause an impression of the device on the tongue and reversible lesions of the palate. On the other hand, the orthodontic fixed therapy can cause gingivitis, followed by mucosal lesions, labial lesions and WSL. For these reasons, an accurate assessment of the patients before the application of fixed orthodontic treatment is necessary. Oral hygie...

Nonsurgical maxillary expansion in adults: report on clinical cases using the Hyrax expander.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that nonsurgical maxillary expansion in adult patients is an efficient method for correcting transverse deficiency in the maxillary arch. Similarly, the level of complications during treatment was not clinically significant, thus this procedure may be considered a safe treatment.

Prevalence of calcification of the head and neck soft tissue diagnosed with digital panoramic radiography in Northeast Brazilian population.
CONCLUSIONS: Although, the prevalence of calcifications in soft tissues is low, the detection of these pathologies through the digital panoramic radiography becomes relevant once vascular diseases could be diagnosed at early stages, enabling thus an adequate management of the underlying clinical condition.

Superoxide dismutase response: physiological plasticity in tobacco users.
CONCLUSIONS: E-SOD was found to be lowest among tobacco chewers probably due to the fact of excessive enzyme activity against prolonged release of carcinogens. The variability in the enzyme activity envisaged its potential as a biomarker in establishing the oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) much before the lesions arises or detect the progression of existing lesion to malignancy.
