RESUMO
En la práctica clínica, los odontólogos se encuentran expuestos al riesgo de infecciones, que se transmiten a través de instrumentos contaminados con exudados. Instrumentos en contacto con el personal deben estar esterilizados o sometidos a un proceso de desinfección. Se realizó un estudio transversal-prospectivo a 30 pacientes, de los que se tomaron tres muestras con espejos estériles, pasando por fondo de saco, carrillos y lengua, después las muestras se desinfectaron, se realizó el hisopado de cada espejo y se incubó en agar tripticaseína-soya (TSA) 24 horas a 37 oC. Pasadas 24 horas se realizaron diluciones en tubos Eppendorf, y se sembraron en cajas de Petri con agar sangre, se incubaron por 48 horas a 37 oC; se contabilizaron las unidades formadoras de colonias (UFC) y registraron para su análisis. Al obtener los resultados se encontró que ID 213 tuvo mayor reducción con una media = 62.5 en comparación con Zeta 1 Ultra, media = 89.23, y control, media = 164.50, de igual manera se observó una diferencia en reducción de UFC/mL entre ID 213 con respecto a Zeta 1 Ultra con significancia de 0.012. Ambos desinfectantes resultaron efectivos, pero se estableció que ID 213 utilizando la tina ultrasónica resulta más efectivo en la reducción de UFC, que Zeta 1 Ultra (AU)
In clinical practice, dentists are exposed to the risk of infections, which are transmitted through instruments contaminated with exudates. Instruments in contact with personnel must be sterilized or subjected to a disinfection process. A cross-sectional-prospective study was carried out in 30 patients. From which three samples were taken with sterile mirrors, passing through cul-de-sac, cheeks and tongue, later the samples were disinfected with disinfectants, each mirror was swabbed and incubated in TSA 24 hours at 37 oC. After 24 hours, dilutions were made in Eppendorf tubes, and they were seeded in Petri dishes with blood agar, they were incubated 48 hours at 37 oC; CFUs were accounted for and recorded for analysis. When obtaining the results, it was found that ID 213 had a greater reduction with mean = 62.5 compared to Zeta 1 Ultra mean = 89.23 and control mean = 164.50, in the same way a difference in reduction of CFU/mL was observed between ID 213 with respect to Zeta 1 Ultra with significance of 0.012. Both disinfectants were effective but it was established that ID 213 using the ultrasonic tub is more effective in reducing CFU, than Zeta 1 Ultra (AU)

Se revisó la literatura pertinente para dar a conocer las síntesis biográficas de 8 odontólogos que ejercieron la doble función de profesionales de la salud y militares de las tropas mambisas, los cuales sobresalieron como figuras descollantes de las guerras de independencia cubanas (1868-1898)

OBJECTIVE: Dental readiness training exercises constitute one form of a specialty medical readiness and training exercise (MEDRETE). Traditional dental missions have been a part of general MEDRETEs and have focused care on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This article describes the tenets of a prevention-based dental humanitarian mission to Honduras in 2002. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The U.S. Army Southern Command requested a Dental Specialty MEDRETE for fiscal year 2002. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. RESULTS: The U.S. Army Dental Command in conjunction with the 257th Medical Company (Dental Services) performed a pediatric dental readiness training exercises in Tegucigalpa March 4-15, 2002. In over 9 treatment days, there were 369 patient encounters totaling 1,593 treatment procedures. In keeping with the preventive focus of the mission, 514 dental occlusal sealants were provided compared with only 90 extractions. Over dollar 76,000 in dental services was provided. CONCLUSIONS: The 2002 Honduran Dental Specialty MEDRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward prevention-based missions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, Dental Specialty MEDRETEs have the ability to enhance the oral health of children, including those not fortunate enough to have received direct interventional dentistry.

OBJECTIVE: Dental Readiness Training Exercises (DENRETEs) are the military form of dental humanitarian missions. Most dental humanitarian missions focus on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This paper describes a dental humanitarian mission, sponsored by the US Army Dental Command (DENCOM), to Honduras in 2003 and how expanded function dental assistants can increase the provision of dental care. MATERIALS & METHODS: The US Army Southern Command requested a DENRETE for fiscal year 2003. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the mission at the Escuela Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. RESULTS: DENCOM in conjunction with dental personnel performing a 6-month rotation with Joint Task Force Bravo performed a Pediatric Humanitarian mission in Tegucigalpa from 1 to 9 April 2003. During 6.5 treatment days, there were 416 patient encounters totaling 1490 treatment procedures. Over $90,000 in dental services were provided. CONCLUSIONS: The 2003 Honduran DENRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward providing comprehensive care aided by maximizing the use of dental assistants trained in expanded functions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, dental humanitarian missions have the ability to enhance the oral health of more children.

Durante el conflicto con el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña, un grupo de profesionales de la Sanidad de la Fuerza Aérea Argetnina, se desempeñó, en Puerto Argentino con distintos roles, y en distintos puestos. El profesionalismo, espíritu de equipo, la ética y el cumplimiento del Juramento hipocrático, hicieron de su actividad, el motivo más importante, en ese momento de sus vidas. Se atendieron en el Hospital interfuerzas 630 heridos (6,18 por ciento de la dotación de efectivos en el archipiélago -10190-), de los cuales 40 fueron traumatismos bucomaxilofaciales (0,39 por ciento de los heridos). Concluidas las acciones militares, se siguió trabajando en cautiverio tanto en el Frigorífico San Carlos (Ajas Bay) como en el MN Saint Edmund (AU)

Ter de adaptar-se à rotina dos quartéis e das bases, aprender a marchar e a manusear armas ainda é um desafio para os dentistas ingressantes nas Forças Armadas, mas a garantia de um emprego vitalício, a aposentadoria integral e uma possível patente de coronel compensam o esforço
