RESUMO

This case report describes the successful 10-years interdisciplinary treatment of ankylosed upper central incisors with an anterior vertical ridge defect. This treatment was challenging as ankylosis was present before the growth spurt. Orthodontic treatment in association with decoronation, a xenogeneic bone graft, an autogenous sub-epithelial connective tissue graft, and implant placement were performed to correct the vertical ridge defect and to re-establish appropriate function, gingival health, and aesthetics. Decoronation performed during the growth spurt was the key to avoiding alveolar ridge deformity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate human gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of periodontal disease (International prospective register of systematic reviews [PROSPERO] number: CRD42015020199). METHODS: An electronic search for TNF-α in human GCF was conducted until May 17, 2018. Data from systemically healthy patients with healthy periodontium or periodontal disease were incorporated. Risk bias was assessed by Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control studies and Jadad scale for clinical trials. RESULTS: Twenty-six studies were included (12 case-control studies, 7 clinical trials, and 7 randomized controlled trials). Most case-control studies showed increased TNF-α concentration in GCF of patients with periodontal disease. The clinical trials and randomized controlled trials demonstrated no consistent modification of TNF-α level after periodontal intervention. CONCLUSION: The present data support the use of TNF-α in GCF as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of periodontal disease but not to monitor the healing after therapy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Bone remodeling is a tightly regulated process influenced by chemokines. ACKR2 is a decoy receptor for CC chemokines functioning as regulator of inflammatory response. In this study we investigated whether the absence of ACKR2 would affect bone phenotype and remodeling induced by mechanical loading. METHODS: An orthodontic appliance was placed between incisors and first molar of ACKR2 deficient (ACKR2-/-) and C57BL6/J (wild-type/WT) mice. Microtomography, histology and qPCR were performed to evaluate bone parameters, orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), bone cells counts and the expression of ACKR2, bone remodeling markers, CC chemokines and chemokines receptors. Bone marrow cells (BMC) from WT and ACKR2-/- mice were differentiated in osteoclasts and osteoblasts for analysis of activity and expression of specific markers. RESULTS: Mechanical stimulus induced ACKR2 production in periodontium. The expression of ACKR2 in vitro was mostly detected in mature osteoclasts and early-differentiated osteoblasts. Although ACKR2-/- mice exhibited regular phenotype in maxillary bone, the amount of OTM, osteoclasts counts and the expression of pro-resorptive markers were increased in this group. In contrast, the number of osteoblasts and related markers were decreased. OTM resulted in augmented expression of CC chemokines and receptors CCR5 and CCR1 in periodontium, which was higher in ACKR2-/- than WT mice. In vitro experiments demonstrated an augmented formation of osteoclasts and diminished differentiation of osteoblasts in ACKR2-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggests that ACKR2 functions as a regulator of mechanically-induced bone remodeling by affecting the differentiation and activity of bone cells and the availability of CC chemokines at periodontal microenvironment. Therapeutic strategies based on increase of ACKR2 might be useful to hinder bone loss in inflammatory conditions.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical stress can induce molecular changes in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and the periodontal ligament (PDL). It is still not clear whether changes in the PDL and GCF are linked. In this study, we aimed to analyze the expression of cytokines in GCF and PDL after mechanical stress. METHODS: Twenty-three healthy patients were included. The experimental group consisted of premolars subjected to a force of 0.980 N for 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, or 28 days. The contralateral teeth were the controls. GCF and PDL samples were collected at the same time points for analysis of cytokines using the cytometric bead array. RESULTS: Interleukin (IL)-6 (IL-6) production was significantly elevated in the PDL on day 1 after force application. Significantly strong positive correlations between GCF and PDL in experimental group were seen on days 3 (interferon-gamma), 7 (IL-10), 14 (IL-17A), and 28 (IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and significantly strong negative correlation were seen on days 14 (interferon-gamma) and 21 (IL-2, IL-10). CONCLUSIONS: Different patterns of IL-6 expression were seen in the PDL and GCF after mechanical stress. Despite occasional correlations between GCF and PDL, the molecular contributions of the PDL to the GCF changes could not be clearly defined by our model.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the prevalence of anterior open bite among five-year-old Brazilian children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was undertaken using data from the National Survey of Oral Health (SB Brazil 2010). The outcome variable was anterior open bite classified as present or absent. The independent variables were classified by individual, sociodemographic and clinical factors. Data were analyzed through bivariate and multivariate analysis using SPSS statistical software (version 18.0) with a 95% level of significance. RESULTS: The prevalence of anterior open bite was 12.1%. Multivariate analysis showed that preschool children living in Southern Brazil had an increased chance of 1.8 more times of having anterior open bite (CI 95%: 1.16 - 3.02). Children identified with alterations in overjet had 14.6 times greater chances of having anterior open bite (CI 95%: 8.98 - 24.03). CONCLUSION: There was a significant association between anterior open bite and the region of Brazil where the children lived, the presence of altered overjet and the prevalence of posterior crossbite. .

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical loading induces remodeling of the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone and is mediated by cytokines and chemokines. In this study, we investigated the kinetics of interleukin-6 and chemokine ligands 2 and 3 levels in periodontal ligaments subjected to orthodontic forces. METHODS: We used 64 premolars in this split-mouth design study. The experimental group consisted of premolars subjected to a force of 0.980 N in the apical direction for 3 hours, 15 hours, 3 days, 12 days, or 21 days with a 0.017 × 0.025-in beta-titanium alloy cantilever. The contralateral teeth, without orthodontic appliances, were used as controls. The premolars were extracted for orthodontic reasons, and the periodontal ligaments were scraped for analysis of cytokine levels by ELISA. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, an increase in chemokine ligand 2 was observed on days 3 and 12, and increases in interleukin-6 and chemokine ligand 3 were observed on day 12 in the experimental group. CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrated differential expressions of interleukin-6 and chemokine ligands 2 and 3 in periodontal ligaments after mechanical loading; this might reflect the distinct roles of these molecules in the bone remodeling process.

RESUMO

This paper presents a method for measuring gingival volume through the analysis of the tooth crown area of anterior teeth using digital photographs and computer analysis. Three photographs were taken and manipulated to simulate gingival overgrowth to perform a numeric correlation of change in gingival volume. The proposed method is easy, noninvasive, and provides rich data for statistical analysis or clinical classification of the gingival condition.

RESUMO

AIM: The aim of this article is to present the clinical characteristics and management of an oral adverse effect stemming from the use of the antiretroviral medication Nevirapine (NVP). BACKGROUND: NVP is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. CASE REPORT: A 29-year-old black man, HIV-infected since 1996, began highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) with zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir. From 1996 to 2002 several medications were changed due to their adverse effects: indinavir (renal colic and fever), nelfinavir (cutaneous rash), and efavirenz (nausea and temporary memory loss). When the patient presented to our service he was taking NVP, zidovudine, and lamivudine. A whitish plaque in the lips and bilateral buccal mucosa, burning, taste disturbance, and xerostomia were observed. The discontinuation of HAART led to the complete resolution of signs and symptoms. The patient has received follow-up treatment for three years and five months without local or systemic effects observed. SUMMARY: Unfortunately, the clinical features of the oral adverse effect from NVP are not well known. This paper contributed to the identification of possible reactions in the oral cavity due to antiretroviral medication. Although HAART is very important in the treatment of HIV, its side effects are responsible for patients' non-adherence to medications. While more studies are needed to better understand the mechanism of action after suspending HAART, the complete resolution of the signs and symptoms was observed. Therefore, physicians and dentists alike must understand how to identify and prevent these adverse effects in order to further improve HIV patient treatments.

RESUMO

Tonsillolith is a rare dystrophic calcification as a result of chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Three asymptomatic cases of tonsillolith are reported, incidentally discovered through panoramic radiographs, which showed different sizes of radiopaque images, varying from 2 to 5 mm; cases I and III images did not overlap the mandible ramus, which led to a probable diagnosis of soft tissue calcification. Case II had radiopaque unilateral images, with osseous tissue density, overlapping the mandibular ramus, leading to a benign intra-osseous lesion, which was considered as differential diagnosis. No symptoms were reported in any case. Only case I had clinical characteristics, showing highly consistent white plaques partially visible through the mucosa. Computed tomography of the maxillofacial region/head and neck were requested to find out the exact location of these images, since most of the overlapping radiopaque images in the mandibular ramus were very similar to intra-osseous abnormalities. The computed tomography showed hyperdense images in the palatine tonsils, confirming the diagnosis of tonsillolith. The patients are currently under follow-up. No treatment is required if there is no symptom. In conclusion, tonsillolith might show images on panoramic radiographs similar to intra osseous abnormalities. The diagnosis is relatively easy when computed tomography is requested, although the images are not pathognomonic. Therefore, clinicians should consider other pathologies as differential diagnosis.
