RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In clinical practice, submerged roots are found with high frequency, and their presence can change the planning of dental movements and implant placement. OBJECTIVES: To provide explanations of possible developments in the area involved, according to the evolutionary stage of the process, at the time of diagnosis. DISCUSSION: After atrophy of the periodontal ligament and epithelial remnants of Malassez, ankylosis of the bone with the submerged root occurs, and initiates a process of replacement resorption. Until this process reaches the most advanced stage, this area represents an increased "bone" density, and if some care is not taken, this can generate resorption problems in the tooth to be moved. Whereas implants can be placed, despite the presence of the submerged root, irrespective of the stage of evolution. CONCLUSION: It is natural for the onset of alveolodental ankylosis and tooth replacement resorption to occur in submerged roots, and its stage of evolution will be decisive in the approach to be adopted in clinical planning.

RESUMO

JUSTIFICATION: Canines represent corners in the dental arch, and are important features in facial esthetics, as they support the upper lip, wing of the nose, and influence the nasolabial fold and the appearance of facial aging. In the laterality movements, the canines guidance coordinate the opening and closing of the teeth, saving the TMJ from sudden movements. DISCUSSION: As a result of the lack of eruption or the inadequate positioning of the maxillary canine, the loss of the laterality guide may occur, which will then occur in the maxillary lateral incisor, inducing lesions of "occlusal trauma", such as inflammatory root resorption. Likewise, without well positioned canines, there may be premature aging and change in facial esthetics. CONCLUSION: In order to avoid problems with eruption and positioning of the maxillary canines, early diagnosis is made by analyzing their position and their relationship with the other teeth, and in the three-dimensional context of the maxilla, between 8-10 years of age. Preventive measures can create bone space and direction so that the maxillary canines can occupy their position in the dental arch.

RESUMO Introdução: A frequência, na prática clínica, das raízes submersas é elevada, e sua presença pode modificar o planejamento de movimentações osteodentárias e da instalação de implantes. Objetivo: Apresentar as explicações das possíveis evoluções na área envolvida, de acordo com o estágio evolutivo do processo, no momento do diagnóstico. Discussão: Depois da atrofia do ligamento periodontal e dos restos epiteliais de Malassez, o osso anquilosa-se com a raiz submersa, e se inicia a reabsorção por substituição. Até se chegar ao estágio mais avançado, essa área representa uma densidade "óssea" aumentada, o que pode gerar problemas reabsortivos no dente a ser movimentado, caso alguns cuidados não sejam tomados. Por outro lado, os implantes podem ser aplicados, apesar da presença da raiz submersa, independentemente da fase evolutiva. Conclusão: É natural que, em raízes submersas, se instale a anquilose alveolodentária e a reabsorção dentária por substituição, e o seu estágio evolutivo será determinante na conduta a ser adotada no planejamento clínico.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Assessment of two radiographic images reveals two distinct, extreme situations of physiological tooth resorption, characteristic of primary teeth with or without permanent successor, due to partial anodontia. DISCUSSION: In all primary teeth, rhizolysis begins after the completion of formation, thanks to the apoptosis of their cells. When apoptosis induced by cementoblasts has denuded the root of these cells, the process of rhizolysis inevitably begins: This will be accelerated by mediators arising from the pericoronal follicle. When there is no permanent successor due to partial anodontia, rhizolysis occurs extremely slowly, and months later, without the epithelial rests of Malassez that were dead due to apoptosis, alveolodental ankylosis becomes established, and the tooth will gradually be replaced by bone, still within a physiological context. CONCLUSION: Rhizolysis and physiological tooth resorption may occur rapidly or slowly, early or late, and this depends on the presence of the permanent tooth, or its absence due to partial anodontia.

RESUMO

Endodontically treated teeth may be moved, as endodontic treatment is not a contraindication for orthodontic treatment. Apical periodontal repair begins when the periapical or pulp lesion has completely resolved. This may happen immediately after treatment if the filling material causes little or no irritation of periapical tissues, and particularly if the material is fully contained within the canal. When it leaks, a foreign body granuloma forms and persists for some months or indefinitely, depending on the composition of the filling material. Materials containing calcium hydroxide with no resin components undergo phagocytosis and disappear in some months, as macrophages gradually remove them. Materials containing resins, silicone, ionomers, zinc oxide-eugenol, bioceramics or gutta-percha remain in the site and induce the formation of foreign body granulomas. Although this does not preclude tooth movement, patients should be followed up every three months using periapical images to control the position of the material in relation to the tooth apex. "Pseudo" overfilling may be avoided if permanent filling is delayed until the time when orthodontic treatment is completed.

RESUMO Os dentes tratados endodonticamente podem ser movimentados, e não representam contraindicação para o tratamento ortodôntico. O reparo periodontal apical se inicia a partir do momento em que a causa da lesão pulpar e/ou periapical é eliminada. Isso ocorre de maneira imediata se o material obturador for pouco ou nada agressivo aos tecidos periapicais, especialmente se estiver limitado ao canal. Quando extravasado, haverá a formação de granuloma do tipo corpo estranho por alguns meses ou permanentemente, dependendo da composição do material obturador. Os materiais à base de hidróxido de cálcio sem componentes resinosos são fagocitáveis e, em alguns meses, desaparecem do local, pois os macrófagos irão gradativamente removê-los. Os materiais à base de resina, silicone, ionômero, óxido de zinco e eugenol, biocerâmicos e guta-percha permanecerão no local, induzindo granulomas periapicais do tipo corpo estranho, o que não inviabiliza a movimentação dentária, mas devem ser acompanhados a cada três meses com imagens periapicais, para um controle de sua relação espacial com o ápice dentário. A "pseudossobreobturação" pode ser evitada se a obturação definitiva for postergada para quando o tratamento ortodôntico terminar.

RESUMO

The atrophy of the periodontal ligament places the tooth very close to the bone or another tooth, as occurs in unerupted teeth. The absent interdental bone and the lack of functional periodontal stimulus may lead to the fusion of the appositional layers of cement between the roots of the teeth. Concrescence almost always occurs in the region of the maxillary molars. Asymptomatic, it should always be remembered when the proper response to orthodontic movement is not obtained, and there is no apparent explanation. When surgically extracting a tooth and there is resistance, insisting will not be the best strategy. Moving the teeth with concrescence is not convenient, as it requires very intense forces. Once separated, these teeth can be considered normal for movement. It is possible to separate two teeth presenting concrescence, but it depends on the extension of the area, the surgical access and, especially, the clinical convenience. The tooth to be extracted will be repaired with new cement deposited in the sectioned area. The simple separation with the maintenance of the proximity and the lack of function of one of the teeth will cause a new concrescence. After a period of 1 to 3 months, the separated teeth are biologically prepared to be moved. The most important detail in this separation of teeth presenting concrescence is that the diagnosis should be made in advance, and not at the time of the intervention.

RESUMO A atrofia do ligamento periodontal coloca o dente muito próximo do osso e/ou de outro dente, como ocorre em dentes não irrompidos. O osso interdentário ausente e a falta de estímulo funcional periodontal podem levar à fusão das camadas aposicionais de cemento entre as raízes dos dentes. A concrescência ocorre quase sempre na região dos molares superiores. Assintomática, ela deve sempre ser lembrada quando não se obtém a resposta adequada a uma movimentação ortodôntica, sem uma explicação aparente. Cirurgicamente, quando se está extraindo o dente e ele oferece resistência, insistir não será a melhor estratégia. Movimentar os dentes com concrescência não é conveniente, pois requer forças muito intensas. Depois de separados, esses dentes podem ser considerados normais para a movimentação. É possível separar dois dentes em concrescência, mas depende da extensão da área, do acesso cirúrgico e, em especial, da conveniência clínica. O dente a ser extraído vai reparar-se, com novo cemento depositado na região seccionada. A simples separação, com manutenção da proximidade e da falta de função de um dos dentes, fará com que uma nova concrescência se estabeleça. Transcorrido o período de 1 a 3 meses, os dentes separados poderão, biologicamente, ser movimentados. O detalhe mais importante nessa separação de dentes com concrescência é que o diagnóstico deve ser feito com antecedência, e não no momento da intervenção.
