PURPOSE:To compare chronic physical stressed with normal tense animals regarding implant osseointegration in the rat mandible.METHODS:Thirty six Wistar rats were anesthesiaded and blunt instruments were used to expose and empty their alveolar inferior nerve. One implant (2.2 x 4mm) was installed into the mandibular canal. Following 72 hours, all rats were equally divided in: Control Group analyzed in 18 days (CG18); Control Group analyzed in 33 days (CG33); Stressed Group with stress during 18 days (SG18) and Stressed Group with stress during 33 days (SG33) - The animals from Stressed Groups (CG 18 and CG33) were placed individually in plastic pipes (PVC) during 12 hours daily to physical restraint. Histomorphometric analysis included bone-implant-contact (BIC) and bone area (BA).RESULTS: In relation to BIC - CG18 (49.8+20.3); SG18 (29.0+16.5) - and BA - CG18 (50.13+21.2); SG18 (23.8+7.8)-, there was a bone repair delayed in SG18 when compared with CG18 (p<0.05). After 33 days, BIC - CG33 (59.6+26.8); SG33 (49.52+17.3)- and BA - CG33 (41.90+17.4); SG33 (43.91+14.7)- showed no difference between groups (p>0.05).CONCLUSION: Chronic physical stress interfere with the initial stage of osseointegration in the rat mandible, but not the final process.

INTRODUÇÃO: transposição e impacção dentárias são distúrbios relacionados à erupção ectópica ou à falha na erupção dentária, que podem afetar o desenvolvimento físico, psíquico e social da criança, e que podem ser de difícil resolução clínica. MÉTODOS: é descrito um caso clínico de transposição entre o canino e o incisivo lateral superior esquerdo, associado à impacção do incisivo superior, do mesmo lado, em uma paciente de 12 anos de idade. Optou-se pela realização de tratamento ortodôntico-cirúrgico conservador, envolvendo a correção ortodôntica dos dentes transpostos e o tracionamento do incisivo central impactado. CONCLUSÃO: a opção pela correção da transposição e tracionamento ortodôntico com a utilização da técnica do arco segmentado com uso de dispositivos como cantiléver e alças em fios TMA retangulares, apesar de ser uma alternativa de execução complexa, mostrou-se efetiva do ponto de vista estético e funcional.

INTRODUCTION: Dental transposition and impaction are disorders related to ectopic eruption or failure in tooth eruption, which can affect child physical, mental and social development and may be difficult to be clinically solved. METHODS: We describe a case of transposition between the upper left canine and lateral incisor associated with impaction of the central incisor on the same side, in a 12-year-old patient. Conservative treatment involving surgical-orthodontic correction of transposed teeth and traction of the central incisor was conducted. CONCLUSION: The option of correcting transposition and orthodontic traction by means of the segmented arch technique with devices such as cantilever and TMA rectangular wire loops, although a complex alternative, was proved to be esthetically and functionally effective.

The objective of this study was to describe a case of a lymphoepithelial cyst in the palatoglossus arch. A 16-years-old black man said that he was observed a lesion in his mouth. On the physical exam, a pedicled, consistent, smooth surface 1.5 x 1 cm lesion, similar in color to the adjacent mucosa, was found. The lesion was surgically removed and the microscopic exam showed mucosal fragments with pedicled lesion; the cystic cavity sometimes lined with pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium and others with stratified squamous flat interface of the epithelium. Around the cyst, a well-delimited mass of lymphoid tissue, presenting lymphoid follicles, was also seen. Lymphoepithelial cyst has clinical characteristics similar to those of others lesions that occur in the oral cavity. The diagnosis should be based on conservative biopsy, with total removal of lesion.

El objetivo de este estudio fue describir un caso clínico de quiste linfoepitelial en el arco palatoglosso. Paciente de 16 años de edad, sexo masculino, raza negra, que durante la anamnesis relató que observó una lesión en la boca. Al examen físico se observó una lesión pediculada, de consistencia firme, superficie lisa, de 1,5 x 1,0 cm de tamaño, con color similar al de la mucosa adyacente. La lesión fue removida quirúrgicamente y el examen microscópico mostró fragmentos de mucosa con lesión pediculada, la cavidad del quiste a veces revestida por epitelio cilíndrico pseudoestratificado y otras veces por la interfase plana del epitelio escamosa estratificado. Alrededor del quiste, una masa bien delimitada de tejido linfoide con presencia de folículos linfoides. El quiste linfoepitelial tiene las mismas características clínicas de otras lesiones que ocurren en la cavidad oral, el diagnóstico debe ser realizado por biopsia, de manera conservadora, con eliminación total de la lesión.
