Transverse maxillary deficiency: treatment alternatives in face of early skeletal maturation
ABSTRACT Transverse deficiencies should be a priority in orthodontic treatment, and should be corrected as soon as diagnosed, to restore the correct transverse relationship between maxilla and mandible and, consequently, normal maxillary growth. Corrections may be performed at the skeletal level, by opening the midpalatal suture, or by dentoalveolar expansion. The choice of a treatment alternative depends on certain factors, such as age, sex, degree of maxillary hypoplasia and maturation of the midpalatal suture. Thus, the present study discusses different treatment approaches to correct maxillary hypoplasia in patients wi...

Comparison of changes in the dental transverse and sagittal planes between patients treated with self-ligating and with conventional brackets
Conclusions: Self-ligating brackets with oversized arches and conventional ligating brackets showed increases in all variables in the transverse plane, except for the SL group at the mandibular intercanine distance. In comparison with the CL group, fewer different IMPA values were observed in the SL group, in which distal molar angulation occurred.RESUMO Introdu ção: Já foram enumeradas diversas vantagens quanto à eficiência dos braquetes autoligáveis (BAL). Apesar das controvérsias na literatura, resultados clínicos confirmam que o “ desenvolvimento da arcada ” demanda menos extra ções. Objetivo: O obje...

Effect of Yd:YAG laser irradiation on the shear bond strength of orthodontic metal brackets
Conclusions: Yd:YAG laser irradiation on bracket base increased SBS values, showing that bonding failure occurs at the enamel/adhesive interface. Laser-etched bracket base may be used instead of conventional bases in cases where higher adhesion is required, reducing bracket-bonding failure.RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplica ção do laser Yd:YAG sobre a superfície metálica da base de braquetes ortodônticos, a resistência da colagem ao cisalhamento (RU) e os locais das falhas nas interfaces adesivas. Métodos: Os braquetes foram divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com o tipo...

Evaluation of color changes of white spot lesions treated with three different treatment approaches: an in-vitro study
Conclusion: Resin infiltrant can improve the color of WSLs and restore the natural appearance of enamel better than nano-HA toothpaste and microabrasion.RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar qualitativamente e quantitativamente os efeitos nas mudan ças e estabilidade da cor de lesões de mancha branca (LMBs), após tratamento com infiltração de resina, em comparação aos tratamentos com pasta de dentes com nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita (Nano-HA) e com microabrasão. Métodos: As LMBs foram criadas artificialmente em 60 superfícies de esmalte dentário de pré-molares humanos e aleatoriamente divididas em quatro grupos (n=15...

Concrescence: can the teeth involved be moved or separated?
ABSTRACT 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. Mo...

Social media and Dentistry: ethical and legal aspects
Conclusion: Social media and networks are valuable tools of dissemination and exchange of information because of their flexibility, democratic character and low cost. However, their abusive or misleading use, as well as the ethical and legal violations associated with the difficulty in controlling their use, may lead to serious damages and unfavorable court decisions.RESUMO Introdu ção: diante de um mercado saturado e com excesso de oferta de cursos de graduação e pós-graduação, as mídias sociais tornaram-se um atrativo veículo para publicidade em Odontologia. Entretanto, são frequentes as postagens com violaç...

Immediate orthodontic load on dental implants: an option for adult treatment
ABSTRACT The demand for orthodontic treatment in adults has been increasing. However, these patients often require a multidisciplinary approach, due to the lack of posterior teeth, requiring additional anchorage. The skeletal anchorage by endosseous implants is an option, since they may be used later for prosthetic rehabilitation. The application of immediate load on these appliances for orthodontic movement may reduce the costs and total treatment time. This paper discusses the utilization of endosseous dental implants with immediate load for absolute anchorage for orthodontic movement, with later utilization for prosthet...
