RESUMO

To evaluate the timing, duration and incidence of bacteremia following invasive dental procedures (IDPs) or activities of daily living (ADL). Eight databases were searched for randomized (RCTs) and nonrandomized controlled trials (nRCTs) evaluating bacteremia before and after IDPs or ADL in healthy individuals. The risk of bias was assessed by RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I. For the meta-analysis, the primary outcomes were the timing and duration of bacteremia. The secondary outcome was the incidence of bacteremia, measuring the proportion of patients with bacteremia within 5 min after the end of the procedure compared with baseline. We included 64 nRCTs and 25 RCTs. Peak bacteremia occurred within 5 min after the procedure and then decreased over time. Dental extractions showed the highest incidence of bacteremia (62%-66%), followed by scaling and root planing (SRP) (44%-36%) and oral health procedures (OHP) (e.g., dental prophylaxis and dental probing without SRP) (27%-28%). Other ADL (flossing and chewing) (16%) and toothbrushing (8%-26%) resulted in bacteremia as well. The majority of studies had some concerns RCTs or moderate risk of bias nRCTs. Dental extractions, SRP and OHP, are associated with the highest frequency of bacteremia. Toothbrushing, flossing, and chewing also caused bacteremia in lower frequency.

RESUMO

Durante os procedimentos odontológicos, os profissionais devem se preocupar com a disseminação e a formação de aerossóis, sendo essa uma rota de transmissão potencial. O objetivo foi demonstrar o risco de contaminação por aerossóis da cavidade bucal durante o atendimento em consultórios odontológicos e comparar cinco procedimentos eletivos, utilizou-se um marcador (corante alimentício) na água do reservatório do equipamento odontológico para identificar a contaminação por produção de aerossóis. Estabeleceu-se os círculos A, B e C com raios de 50, 100 e 150 cm, respectivamente, a partir do ponto central do encosto da cabeça na cadeira odontológica. Estabeleceu-se um planejamento fatorial e teste de Tukey para comparação das médias dos pontos de contaminação e para os pontos não contáveis de contaminação aplicou-se a Análise de Componentes Principais (ACP). O tipo de procedimento e a interação entre o local e tipo de procedimento não se mostraram estatisticamente significativos, mas verificou-se maior incidência significativa no círculo A (raio de 50 cm). Aplicando a ACP foi possível relacionar a contaminação do tórax do paciente e da ponta do sugador com os procedimentos de Ultrassom e Incisivo Central Superior, assim como a relação da contaminação do jaleco do cirurgião dentista e da ponta da caneta de alta rotação com os procedimentos de Primeiro Molar Superior, Primeiro Molar Inferior e Incisivo Central Inferior. Precauções para minimizar a contaminação e o espalhamento dos aerossóis devem ser utilizadas nos atendimentos odontológicos para diminuir os riscos de contaminação da equipe profissional, dos pacientes e do ambiente.

During dental procedures, professionals should be concerned with the spread and formation of aerosols, as this is a potential transmission route. The objective was to demonstrate the risk of contamination by aerosols in the oral cavity during care in dental offices and to compare five elective procedures. Circles A, B and C were established with radii of 50, 100 and 150 cm, respectively, from the central point of the headrest on the dental chair. A factorial design and Tukey's test were established to compare the averages of the contamination points and for the non-countable points of contamination, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied. The type of procedure and the interaction between the location and the type of procedure were not statistically significant, but there was a significant higher incidence in circle A (50 cm radius). Applying PCA, it was possible to relate the contamination of the patient's thorax and the tip of the sucker with the Ultrasound and Upper Central Incisor procedures, as well as the relationship of contamination of the dentist's coat and the tip of the high-speed pen with the procedures of Upper First Molar, Lower First Molar and Lower Central Incisor. Precautions to minimize contamination and the spread of aerosols must be used in dental care to reduce the risk of contamination of the professional team, patients and the environment.

Durante los procedimientos dentales, los profesionales deben preocuparse por la propagación y formación de aerosoles, ya que esta es una ruta potencial de transmisión. El objetivo fue demostrar el riesgo de contaminación por aerosoles en la cavidad bucal durante la atención en los consultorios odontológicos y comparar cinco procedimientos electivos. Se establecieron círculos A, B y C con radios de 50, 100 y 150 cm, respectivamente, desde el punto central del reposacabezas del sillón dental. Se estableció un diseño factorial y la prueba de Tukey para comparar los promedios de los puntos de contaminación y para los puntos de contaminación no contables se aplicó el Análisis de Componentes Principales (PCA). El tipo de procedimiento y la interacción entre la ubicación y el tipo de procedimiento no fueron estadísticamente significativos, pero hubo una incidencia significativamente mayor en el círculo A (50 cm de radio). Aplicando PCA se logró relacionar la contaminación del tórax del paciente y la punta de la ventosa con los procedimientos de Ultrasonido e Incisivo Central Superior, así como la relación de la contaminación de la bata del odontólogo y la punta del bolígrafo de alta velocidad con los procedimientos de Primer Molar Superior, Primer Molar Inferior e Incisivo Central Inferior. Precauciones para minimizar la contaminación y la propagación de aerosoles deben ser utilizados en la atención odontológica para reducir el riesgo de contaminación del equipo profesional, los pacientes y el medio ambiente.

RESUMO

Introduction: Bone defects hinder implant positioning. Vertical bone deficiency is the most challenging for clinical treatment, due to the high sensitivity of the technique and frequent intra- and postoperative complications. An alternative treatment for vertical defects is guided bone regeneration with simultaneous implantation; however, few studies have evaluated its effectiveness over time. Objective: To evaluate peri-implant tissue stability in a dental implant simultaneously positioned in an aesthetic zone of an area of zone vertical bone regeneration 3 years after functional load. Case Presentation: A 62-year-old male presented with the absence of the right lateral incisor and vertical bone defect of 3mm. His initial condition affected the relation of zenith points, causing disharmony. After case evaluation, vertical guided bone regeneration and simultaneous dental implants were performed to obtain a vertical bone gain of 3mm. The implant was rehabilitated with a zirconium crown and evaluated 3 years after functional loading. Conclusion: Vertical guided bone regeneration and simultaneous dental implant in the aesthetic zone in small bone defects (<4 mm) is an appropriate surgical and prosthetic technique to reduce surgical time, providing stability of peri-implant tissues even 3 years after functional implant loading.

Introducción: La presencia de defectos óseos dificulta el posicionamiento de los implantes, y es la deficiencia ósea vertical la que representa un mayor reto para el clínico por la alta sensibilidad de la técnica y las frecuentes complicaciones intra y posoperatorias. Una alternativa de tratamiento para los defectos verticales es la regeneración ósea guiada con implante simultáneo; sin embargo, en la literatura existen pocos estudios que evalúen su efectividad en el tiempo. Objetivo: Evaluar la estabilidad de los tejidos periimplantares en un implante dental posicionado simultáneo a la regeneración ósea vertical en una zona estética, luego de 3 años de carga funcional. Presentación de caso: Paciente masculino de 62 años que presenta ausencia del incisivo lateral derecho con un defecto óseo vertical de 3 mm, que crea una desarmonía de los puntos cenit. Posteriormente a la adecuada evaluación del caso, se decide realizar una regeneración ósea guiada vertical y colocar un implante dental simultáneo, y se obtuvo una ganancia ósea vertical de 3 mm. El implante es rehabilitado con corona en zirconio y evaluado luego de 3 años de la carga funcional. Conclusión: La regeneración ósea guiada vertical y el implante dental simultáneo en zona estética en defectos óseos pequeños (<4 mm) es una técnica quirúrgica y protésica adecuada para reducir los momentos quirúrgicos, ya que proporciona estabilidad a los tejidos periimplantares, luego de 3 años de la carga funcional del implante.

RESUMO

Introduction: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is formed by an autologous blood concentrate, with properties that promote cell proliferation and regenerationof bone, gingival and epithelial tissue. Objective: To compare four different procedures for processing as well as obtaining PRF, and analyzing their formation through laboratory techniques. The purpose of the study is to validate a method that produces higher quality PRF for oral surgery use in different branches of dentistry. Material and method: The experiment consisted of collecting blood from 12 volunteers, and processing each patient's sample in 4 different ways. In the following two-stage process analysis, the first, quantitative, step was to analyze the samples' platelet-poor plasma (PPP),with a Neubauer Hemocytometer to count blood components. In the second, qualitative step, the sample's PRF were analyzed under microscopy using histological slides. Result: The statistical analysis of the leukocyte, red blood cell and platelet count did not show any significant distinction when comparing different processes. Histological analysis of the PRF showed fibrin network with platelet aggregation, several leukocytes and presence of red blood cells, with double centrifuged samples presenting more white blood cells than the others. Conclusion: Among the analyzed procedures, the sample centrifuged once at 3000 RPM (1900 G) for 10 min showed the best quality PRF.

Introdução: A fibrina rica em plaquetas (FRP) é formada por um concentrado sanguíneo autólogo, com propriedades de promover a proliferação celular, regeneração de tecido, dentre eles tecido ósseo, gengival e epitelial. Objetivo: Comparar quatro tipos diferentes de processamento e obtenção de FRP, analisando a sua formação através de técnicas laboratoriais. A finalidade do estudo é validar um método que obtenha maior qualidade para o uso em cirurgias nas diversas áreas da odontologia. Material e método: O experimento foi constituído de uma coleta de sangue de 12 voluntários, onde a amostra de cada paciente foi processada de 4 formas. A análise dos processamentos se deu em duas etapas, onde na primeira, quantitativa, foi analisado o plasma pobre em plaquetas (PPP), através de contagem de constituintes sanguíneos em câmara de Neubauer. Na segunda etapa, qualitativa, foram analisadas as FRP em microscopia através de lâminas histológicas. Resultado: A análise estatística da contagem de leucócitos, hemácias e plaquetas não mostraram diferença significativa entre os distintos processamentos. As análises histológicas do FRP mostraram redes de fibrina com agregação plaquetária, inúmeros leucócitos e presença de hemácias, sendo que as amostras de dupla centrifugação apresentaram mais leucócitos que nas demais. Conclusão: Dos procedimentos analisados, a amostra centrifugada a 1 única vez a 3000 RPM (1900 G) por 10 min mostrou-se a melhor qualidade de FRP.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence and magnitude of bacteremia after dental extraction and supragingival scaling. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Blood samples were taken before and 5 and 30 min after dental extraction and supragingival scaling from individuals at high (n = 44) or negligible risk (n = 51) for infective endocarditis. The former received prophylactic antibiotic therapy. Samples were subjected to aerobic and anaerobic culture and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to determine the incidence of bacteremia and total bacterial levels. RESULTS: Patients who did not receive prophylactic antibiotic therapy had a higher incidence of positive blood cultures (30% 5 min after extraction) than patients who received prophylactic antibiotic therapy (0% 5 min after extraction; p < .01). Molecular analysis did not reveal significant differences in the incidence or magnitude of bacteremia between the two patient groups either 5 or 30 min after each of the procedures evaluated. Extraction was associated with higher incidence of bacteremia than supragingival scaling by blood culture (p = .03) and molecular analysis (p = .05). CONCLUSIONS: Molecular methods revealed that dental extraction and supragingival scaling were associated with similar incidence of bacteremia in groups receiving or not prophylactic antibiotic therapy. However, blood culture revealed that antibiotic therapy reduced viable cultivable bacteria in the bloodstream in the extraction group.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Phytotherapeutic drugs are plant-derived products with medicinal properties. They are used for treating or preventing several diseases. However, patients who use these substances and even health professionals are unaware of their negative effects. One of the most common negative effects of phytotherapeutic drugs reported in the literature is the inhibition of natural coagulation factors in the human body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform a brief review of the literature concerning the anticoagulant effects of phytotherapeutic drugs and their importance in surgical dental procedures. Preventive measures, clarification and monitoring of patients taking phytotherapeutic drugs are recommended before performing surgical dental procedures, in order to prevent against complications such as hemorrhage.

RESUMO Fitoterápicos são produtos derivados de plantas com propriedades medicinais. Eles são utilizados para o tratamento ou a prevenção de diversas doenças. No entanto, os pacientes que fazem uso destas substâncias, na sua grande maioria, desconhecem seus efeitos negativos. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma breve revisão de literatura sobre os efeitos anticoagulantes de fitoterápicos e sua importância diante da realização de procedimentos odontológicos cirúrgicos. Medidas de prevenção, esclarecimento e acompanhamento de pacientes que se utilizam destes medicamentos são recomendados antes da realização destes procedimentos a fim de prevenir complicações como processos hemorrágicos.

RESUMO

Sabe-se que a ansiedade do paciente, nos momentos que antecedem um atendimento odontológico, pode interferir significativamente, influenciando nos trabalhos a serem executados. Há estudos que comprovam a eficácia do controle da ansiedade por métodos farmacológicos, que estão dentro do grupo dos agentes ansiolíticos. Com base na necessidade de alguns indivíduos controlar a ansiedade e fazer uso de uma medicação ansiolítica, o objetivo desse trabalho foi comparar o efeito do medicamento homeopático individualizado com o medicamento ansiolítico (benzodiazepínico) nos procedimentos odontológicos.

The patient’s anxiety before a dental procedure can interfere significantly the treatments to be performed. Some studies show the efficacy of the control of anxiety through pharmacological means including anxiolytic drugs. Since some individuals must control anxiety and use anxiolytic medication, this study ought to compare the effect of a benzodiapine and individualized homeopathic treatment on dental anxiety.
