Abstract The aim of this review was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion, and tooth wear in indigenous in Brazil. A systematic review of observational studies was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (CRD42020218704). The search strategy involved the electronic databases of Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the CAPES Theses and Dissertations for gray literature. The eligibility criteria consisted of publications that assessed the prevalence of oral conditions in indigenous populations in Brazil. Studies with indigenous people living in urban area were excluded. The risk of bias was evaluated by using JBI Critical Appraisal for prevalence studies. Thirty studies were included in the review, and the majority showed a low risk of bias. A meta-analysis of 20 studies was conducted using the random-effects model and a 95% confidence interval. Several ethnicities were studied in isolation or in groups (n = 7,627 for dental caries; n = 2,774 for periodontal disease; n = 1,067 for malocclusion; n = 150 for tooth wear). The prevalence of caries ranged from 50% among indigenous people aged 18-36 months to 100% among those aged 65–74 years. The prevalence of periodontal disease ranged from 58% to 83%. The prevalence of malocclusion was 43%. Tooth wear was assessed in only one ethnic group and showed a prevalence of 100% in indigenous people aged >18 years. The certainty of evidence assessed by the GRADE system ranged from very low to moderate. This systematic review showed significant differences in the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and malocclusion between indigenous population groups and territories in which indigenous people live.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a diversidade bacteriana da saliva de pacientes com diferentes índices de higiene bucal através da construção de duas bibliotecas do gene 16S rRNA. Cada biblioteca foi composta por amostras de saliva de pacientes com índice de biofilme dental de Silness-Löe diferenciado, sendo a primeira (A) com índice de 1,0 a 3,0 (denominada de alto índice) e a segunda (B), entre 0 a 0,5 (denominada de baixo índice). O DNA da saliva foi extraído e o gene 16S rRNA foi amplificado, clonado e sequenciado. As sequências obtidas foram comparadas com aquelas armazenadas no GenBank do NCBI e RDP. A saliva de pacientes com alto índice de biofilme dental apresentou cinco gêneros conhecidos: Streptococcus, Granulicatella, Gemella, Veillonella e Peptostreptococcus e 33,3% de bactérias não-cultivadas, agrupados em 23 unidades taxonômicas operacionais (UTOs). A saliva de pacientes com baixo índice de biofilme dental, foi diferente significativamente da primeira (p=0,000) e foi composta de 42 UTOs, distribuídas em 11 gêneros conhecidos: Streptococcus, Granulicatella, Gemella, Veillonella, Oribacterium, Haemophilus, Escherichia, Neisseria, Prevotella, Capnocytophaga, Actinomyces, além de 24,87% de bactérias não-cultivadas. Pode-se concluir que existe maior diversidade bacteriana na saliva de pacientes com baixo índice de biofilme dental em relação a pacientes com alto índice de biofilme dental

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the bacterial diversity in the saliva of patients with different oral hygiene indexes using of two 16S rRNA gene libraries. Each library was composed of samples from patients with different averages of the differentiated Silness-Löe biofilm index: the first library (A) with an index between 1.0 and 3.0 (considered a high index) and the second library (B) between 0 and 0.5 (considered a low index). Saliva DNA was extracted and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and cloned. The obtained sequences were compared with those stored at NCBI and RDP GenBank. The saliva of patients with high index presented five known genera - Streptococcus, Granulicatella, Gemella, Veillonella and Peptostreptococcus - and 33.3% of nonculturable bacteria grouped into 23 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The saliva of patients with low index differed significantly from the first library (p=0.000) and was composed of 42 OTUs distributed into 11 known genera - Streptococcus, Granulicatella, Gemella, Veillonella, Oribacterium, Haemophilus, Escherichia, Neisseria, Prevotella, Capnocytophaga, Actinomyces - including 24.87% of nonculturable bacteria. It was possible to conclude that there is greater bacterial diversity in the saliva of patients with low dental plaque in relation to patients with high dental plaque.

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi analisar a concentração de flúor em diferentes soluções fluoretadas para bochechos e sua capacidade de interferir no processo de cárie. METODOLOGIA: A análise da concentração de flúor nas soluções para bochecho foi realizada com eletrodo específico para íon flúor acoplado a um analisador de íons Orion. Blocos de esmalte de dentes incisivos bovinos com a microdureza superficial conhecida foram submetidos à ciclagem de pH e uso de soluções fluoretadas, sendo, posteriormente, avaliados por uma nova análise de microdureza e também pela incorporação de flúor. RESULTADOS: As concentrações de flúor (ppm) encontradas nas soluções SANiFill®, Colgate® Plax®, Oral B®, Sorriso® e Cepacol® (não fluoretada) foram, respectivamente: 245,94; 247,61; 251,50; 258,01 e 38,44. A menor perda de porcentagem de dureza superficial foi observada com o uso da solução fluoretada Sorriso® (29,7%±14,4), seguida por Colgate® Plax® (33%±14,1) e Oral B® (43%±18,3). Todas as soluções fluoretadas analisadas mostraram capacidade de incorporar flúor no esmalte dental. CONCLUSÃO: Os dados sugerem que as soluções fluoretadas foram capazes de interferir nos fenômenos de desmineralização e remineralização, promover incorporação de flúor e, conseqüentemente, diminuir a perda de dureza no esmalte dental.

PURPOSE: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fluoride concentration in mouthrinses and their capacity to intervene with the caries process. METHODS: The analysis of the fluoride concentration in the solutions was carried with ion specific electrode connected to an ion analyzer. Bovine incisors enamel blocks with previously known superficial microhardness were submitted to a pH cycling model and treated with fluoridated solutions, and later reanalyzed for microhardness and fluoride incorporation. RESULTS: The fluoride concentration (ppm) found in the solutions SANiFill- Sanikids®, Colgate Plax Fresh Mint®, Oral B®, Sorriso Fresh® and Cepacol® (not fluoridated) were, respectively: 242.91±21.89; 248.42±3.55; 248.29±11.31; 257.61±17.57 and 35.37±10.64. The lowest loss of superficial microhardness was observed with the use Sorriso Fresh® (29.66%± 8.84), followed by Plax Fresh mint® (32.99%±14.09) and Oral B® (43.00%±18.34). CONCLUSION: The data suggest that fluoride solutions, in proper concentrations, are capable of intervening on the phenomena of demineralization and remineralization, promoting fluoride incorporation and, consequently, decreasing the loss of microhardness on dental enamel.

A atividade antimicrobiana de extratos brutos de folhas de Arctium lappa, bem como de suas fases, foi avaliada in vitro. Os microrganismos Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis e Candida albicans, comuns na cavidade bucal, especificamente em infecções endodônticas, foram utilizados. O método de difusão em Agar permitiu a detecção da fase hexânica como inibitória do crescimento microbiano. Ensaios de bioautografia identificaram substâncias antimicrobianas presentes no extrato. Os resultados demonstraram a presença, na fase hexânica bruta e em suas sub-frações, de constituintes que têm Rf (fatores de retenção) em três zonas distintas, sugerindo a presença de ativos com estruturas químicas de diferentes polaridades, que exibiram especificidade contra os microrganismos alvos. Conclui-se que os constituintes de Arctium lappa apresentam um grande potencial de inibição microbiana contra os microrganismos endodônticos estudados.

This study evaluated in vitro the antimicrobial activity of rough extracts from leaves of Arctium lappa and their phases. The following microorganisms, commonly found in the oral cavity, specifically in endodontic infections, were used: Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans. The agar-diffusion method allowed detection of the hexanic phase as an inhibitor of microbial growth. Bioautographic assays identified antimicrobial substances in the extract. The results showed the existence, in the rough hexanic phase and in its fractions, of constituents that have retention factors (Rf) in three distinct zones, thereby suggesting the presence of active constituents with chemical structures of different polarities that exhibited specificity against the target microorganisms. It may be concluded that the Arctium lappa constituents exhibited a great microbial inhibition potential against the tested endodontic pathogens.
