RESUMO

The purpose of this case report was to describe the surgical exposure and orthodontic management of an unerupted and ectopic maxillary right central incisor after trauma to the primary predecessor. Case report: An 11-year-old girl was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic due to eruption failure of the maxillary right central incisor. Radiographs showed the impacted central incisor located below the anterior nasal spine and its apex parallel to the palatal plane and the presence of an odontoma. General surgery was performed to remove the odontoma and two perforations in the crown of the impacted tooth were made to carry out orthodontic traction. Correct alignment was achieved after 18 months and no significant clinical or radiographic alterations were founded. Conclusion: The orthodontic management was performed successfully, and a positive esthetic outcome combined with adequate occlusion demonstrated the satisfactory results of this case.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT This study is a literature review on the physical and mental influence of hypnosis in pediatric patient in controlling anxiety and pain. The objective was to gather the evidence found in the analysis of articles, research and systematic reviews, in the period from 1994 to 2018. For a descriptive review were selected Internet portals as Medicine®, Pubmed, Capes, using keywords like: "hypnosis", "pediatric dentistry", "fear", "anesthesia", "anxiety", "children", "pain". Descriptively and concisely, they presented relevant findings regarding associations between hypnosis and dentistry and their applications in controlling anxiety and pain. It was concluded that hypnosis could increase the cooperation of the child patient and decrease the resistance during painful dental procedures. Despite the promising results observed, hypnosis in pediatric dentistry is still seldom used. This may be due to lack of knowledge about the procedure and the absence of formal education, indicating the importance of including Hypnosis in the healthcare professionals' curriculum and their practices.

RESUMO Este estudo trata de uma revisão de literatura sobre a influência física e mental da hipnose no paciente Odontopediátrico no controle da ansiedade e da dor. Objetivou-se reunir as evidências encontradas em artigos de análise, pesquisa e revisões sistemáticas, compreendendo o período de 1994 até 2018. Para uma revisão descritiva foram selecionados portais na internet como Bireme, Pubmed, Periódicos Capes, por meio de palavras-chave como: "hypnosis", "pediatric dentistry", "fear", "anesthesia", "anxiety", "children" "pain". Foram apresentados de forma descritiva e concisa relevantes achados referentes às associações entre a hipnose e Odontopediatria e suas aplicações no controle da ansiedade e da dor. Concluiu-se que a hipnose pode aumentar a cooperação do paciente infantil e diminuir a resistência durante os procedimentos odontológicos dolorosos. Apesar dos resultados promissores observados, a hipnose em Odontopediatria ainda é pouco utilizada. Isto ocorre devido à ausência de conhecimento sobre o procedimento e a falta de treinamento durante a formação superior, demonstrando a importância da inclusão deste tema nos currículos dos profissionais de saúde e em suas práticas clínicas.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the presence of Enterococcus faecalis in primary teeth with primary root canal infections and related to the possible failure of pulpectomy outcome after 36 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Root canal samples were obtained from 25 out of 244 patients using the sterile paper cone method. The identification of E. faecalis was done with culture and molecular tests using species-specific 16S rRNA gene-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After 36 months, the pulpectomy outcome was evaluated. RESULTS: Enterococcus faecalis was found in five (20%) samples, and dental caries were the cause of primary infection in all of them. Pulpectomy outcome was evaluated only in teeth that completed the entire clinical protocol and were followed up to 36 months (n = 8). From these, 75% (n = 6) were successful and 25% (n = 2) failed. E. faecalis was present in 50% of both successful and failed cases. CONCLUSIONS: Enterococcus faecalis was not related to the failure of endodontic treatment of primary teeth.

RESUMO

The most common cause of permanent maxillary incisor dilaceration is usually trauma to the primary predecessor, such as avulsions, intrusions, or gross displacement of primary incisors. The purpose of this case report was to describe the surgical exposure and orthodontic traction of an unerupted dilacerated permanent maxillary central incisor performed on a young girl. During the surgical exposure, a hole was placed in the tooth crown, and elastic chains, inserted though the hole, were used for traction. The alignment and leveling of the impacted incisor were performed with sequential stainless steel wires. Good periapical and periodontal health, combined with adequate occlusion and a positive esthetic outcome, demonstrated the satisfactory results of this case.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The effect of smear layer (SL) removal on primary tooth pulpectomy outcome has not been well elucidated. AIM: To determine the effect of SL removal on primary tooth pulpectomy outcome. METHODS: This is a double-blind, randomized, and controlled clinical trial. Forty-eight patients were randomly divided into SL removal (G1 = 40 teeth) or smear layer nonremoval (G2 = 42 teeth) groups. Following the chemomechanical preparation with K-files and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), teeth were irrigated with either 6% citric acid and 0.9% physiologic solution (G1) or only 0.9% physiologic solution (G2). Camphorated paramonochlorophenol was used as intracanal medication. At the second appointment, 1 week after, root canals were filled with zinc oxide-eugenol paste. Clinical and radiographical baseline criteria were stipulated equally for both groups. RESULTS: The success rate (G1 = 91.2%; G2 = 70.0%) was statistically different (P = 0.04) between the groups. In G2, the outcome was affected significantly by pulpal necrosis (P = 0.02), pre-operatory symptoms (P = 0.02), and periapical/inter-radicular radiolucency (P = 0.04). CONCLUSION: The pulpectomy outcome was improved by smear layer removal. The outcome for teeth with pulpal necrosis, pre-operatory symptoms, or periapical/inter-radicular radiolucency was significantly improved by removal of the smear layer.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate, via clinical and radiographic assessment, pulpectomy outcomes performed on primary anterior teeth both with and without a citric acid solution to enhance smear layer removal. METHODS: Patients with a matched pair of primary incisors (split-mouth design) with irreversible pulp changes were selected. A total of 36 teeth (18 children) received pulpectomies and were followed for 36 months. Pulpectomies were performed using sodium hypochlorite and saline solution as canal irrigants; during the last irrigation, the tooth was randomly selected to receive ( Group 1) or not receive (Group 2) the citric acid solution for smear layer removal. The roots were filled with ZOE paste. RESULTS: Overall pulpectomy success was 90.6%. Cases with smear layer removal were successful 82.3% of the time; those without smear layer removal, 88.2%, and there were no statistical differences (P=1.00). CONCLUSION: Pulpectomy with smear layer removal in primary incisors exhibited, after 36 months, a high success rate; however, comparable results were obtained when the smear layer was not removed.

RESUMO

Pulpectomy in primary teeth is a common technique that preserves teeth in the oral environment and maintains or recovers periapical tissues to a healthy condition. This article describes the ectopic eruption of permanent incisors whose primary predecessors underwent pulpectomy using ZOE filler paste. In a group of 135 teeth that received pulpectomy therapy due to caries, 10 primary maxillary incisors had overretention and were followed for at least 3.5 years (mean time of 4.2 years), both clinically and radiographically, until the permanent teeth erupted. The proposed treatment included extraction of the overretained primary incisors based on permanent successor eruption chronology and contralateral eruption. Seven permanent teeth erupted ectopically. Autocorrection of the permanent tooth positions was observed in five cases. It can be concluded that periodic clinical and radiographic assessments are essential to verify radicular and filling paste resorptions and to avoid overretention and any subsequent malocclusion.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia de pulpectomias com remoção de smear layer em dentes decíduos anteriores e as condições clínicas dos sucessores permanentes após cinco anos de acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico.Método: Foram selecionadas crianças com idade entre três a cinco anos, clinicamente saudáveis, com necessidade de tratamento do canal radicular em dentes anteriores decorrente de cárie e/ou traumatismo dento-alveolar. O preparo químico-mecânico consistiu da instrumentação com limas K e hipoclorito de sódio 1,0% e na irrigação final, o ácido cítrico a 6,0% foi utilizado para remoção da smear layer. Os condutos foram obturados com o cimento de OZE e todos os dentes restaurados com compósito fotopolimerizável. A avaliação clínica e/ou radiográfica ocorreu no primeiro mês e sucessivamente durante seis meses até cinco anos pós-tratamento ou até a erupção do sucessor permanente.Resultados: O índice de sucesso observado foi de 91,5%. Após cinco anos de acompanhamento, trinta e oito dentes permanentes sucessores (80,9%) estavam erupcionados. Destes, cinco (10,6%) elementos apresentaram erupção ectópica e cinco (10,6%) apresentaram opacidades no esmalte. Não foi observada associação entre o desfecho do tratamento (sucesso ou insucesso) e determinadas variáveis observadas, como o motivo da alteração pulpar, diagnóstico pulpar, presença de lesão periapical e extensão da obturação. Conclusão: Após cinco anos de acompanhamento, as pulpectomias de dentes decíduos anteriores com remoção de smear layer apresentaram alto índice de sucesso sugerindo que o uso do ácido cítrico favoreceu o desempenho da terapia. Foi observado um número reduzido de opacidades do esmalte e de erupção ectópica nos permanentes sucessores.

A partir dos resultados observados, recomenda-se a realização de novos estudos clínicos, preferencialmente controlados e randomizados, utilizando o mesmo protocolo e incluindo molares, a fim de comprovar a efetividade da remoção de smear layer nas pulpectomias de dentes decíduos

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy de pulpectomies with removal of smear layer in primary anterior teeth and the clinical conditions of the permanent successors after five years of clinical and radiographic follow up.Method: Clinically healthy children aged 3 to 5 years requiring root canal treatment in anterior teeth due to caries and/or dentoalveolar trauma were selected. The chemomechanical preparation consisted of instrumentation with K files and 1.0% sodium hypochlorite and final irrigation with 6.0% citric acid for removal of smear layer. The canalswere filled with ZOE and all teeth were restored with photoactivated composite resin. Clinical and/or radiographic evaluation was carried out in the first month and then successively during six months up to five years posttreatment or up to eruption of the permanent successor.Results: The success rate was 91.5%. After five years of follow up, 38 permanent successors (80.9%) had erupted. From these, 5 (10.6%) teeth erupted ectopically and five (10.6%) presented enamel opacities. There was no association between treatment outcome (success or failure) and certain factors, such as pulpal alteration, pulpal diagnosis, presence of periapical lesion and apical limit of obturation. Conclusion: After five years of follow up, the pulpectomies in primary anterior teeth with removal of smear layer presented a high success rate, suggesting that the use of citric acid was favorable to the therapy. There was a small number of enamel opacities and ectopic eruptions of the permanent successors. Based on the obtained results, it is recommended the development of new clinical studies, especially controlled and randomized trials, using the same protocol and including molars, in order to confirm the effectiveness of smear layer removal in the pulpectomies of primary teeth

RESUMO

The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of three root canal irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, and Staphylococcus aureus. These microorganisms were incubated in the presence of citric acid (6 and 10%), EDTA (17%), and NaOCl (0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.25%). Agar diffusion tests were performed and redox indicator resazurin was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the irrigants on the metabolic activity of these microorganisms. The mean diameters of the inhibition zones for the C. albicans cultures were 11.6 mm (17% EDTA), 5.5 mm (0.5% NaOCl), 12.9 mm (1% NaOCl), 22.1 mm (2.5% NaOCl), and 28.5 mm (5.25% NaOCl). The mean diameters of the inhibition zones for E. faecalis were 2.8 mm (1% NaOCl), 5.4 mm (2.5% NaOCl), and 8.3 mm (5.25% NaOCl). For S. aureus, the mean values were 8.0 mm (17% EDTA), 3.0 mm (1% NaOCl), 8.8 mm (2.5% NaOCl), and 10.0 mm (5.25% NaOCl). Most of the irrigant solutions presented effective antimicrobial activity against C. albicans. A high inhibitory effect on the metabolic activity of E. faecalis was detected when the microorganisms were incubated with 17% EDTA. The same result was reached when S. aureus was incubated in the presence of > 2.5% NaOCl. Altogether, these results indicate that 2.5% and 5.25% NaOCl are microbicides against S. aureus while 0.5% and 1% NaOCl are only microbiostatic against the tested bacteria. The 6% and 10% citric acid as well as 17% EDTA did not affect the viability of any of the assayed microorganisms.
