Abstract: The objective of this article is to establish a semiotic journey of Gabriela's canonical account, which has been officially installed to corroborate the written versions of her biography; this is done without ignoring a parallel journey of rebellious images that help decentralize the first traditional life-based account from different perspectives. Likewise, it is essential to give an account of a third tour of post-mortem images of Gabriela Mistral, which, from the creative freedom of those who manipulate and publish them, can lead to other understandings about Mistral, given the fact that they are not necessarily related to Mistral’s either canonical life or rebellious life. For this categorization and analysis, it was necessary to focus on Paleotti's theory (2002) of divine and profane images, and then add this third moment of a series of images shown after Mistral’s death. The results, in addition to showing semiotic-biographical journeys about the poet, refer to an existing itinerary of images that has been almost overlooked, as biographical studies have been mainly focusing on written aspects to provide an account of Gabriela Mistral’s biography.

Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es establecer un recorrido semiótico del relato canónico de Gabriela, el cual se ha instalado oficialmente para corroborar el relato escritural de la vida la autora, sin dejar de establecer un recorrido paralelo tanto de imágenes rebeldes que ayudan a descentrar el primer relato desde aristas diferentes y refractarias de Mistral. Asimismo, se hace imprescindible dar cuenta de un tercer recorrido de imágenes post mortem sobre Gabriela Mistral, las cuales desde la libertad creativa de quienes las manipulan y publican, pueden llegar a otros entendimientos sobre Mistral, los cuales no necesariamente guardan relación con la vida canónica y rebelde de la autora. Para dicha categorización y análisis, fue menester contar con la teoría de Paleotti (2002) sobre las imágenes divinas y profanas, para luego añadir este tercer momento. Los resultados, además de mostrar recorridos semiótico-biográficos sobre la poeta, también dan cuenta de un itinerario de imágenes existentes y que han sido casi nulamente estudiadas, centrándose los estudios biográficos sobre ella principalmente en aspectos de su escritura.

RESUMO Introdução: Atualmente, a demanda por tratamento ortodôntico em adultos tem aumentado. Consequentemente, também tem aumentado a necessidade de se colar braquetes em restaurações e coroas provisórias. O uso de restaurações provisórias de PMMA CAD/CAM com finalidade ortodôntica ainda não foi descrito e, até a presente data, não há informação suficiente sobre a resistência da colagem dos braquetes a esse tipo de material. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da termociclagem (TC) e do tratamento de superfície sobre a resistência da colagem ao cisalhamento (RC) de braquetes colados em diferentes materiais provisórios. Métodos: Quarenta espécimes foram confeccionados de cada material: resina acrílica PMMA (Telio Lab), resina bisacrílica (Telio CS C&B), e PMMA CAD/CAM (Telio CAD). Em seguida, foram lixados e divididos de acordo com o tratamento de superfície (polidos ou jateados) e TC (metade da amostra - 1.000 ciclos de imersão em água a 5°C e 55°C) (n = 10/grupo). Braquetes de aço inoxidável foram colados aos espécimes (utilizando Transbond XT) e realizou-se o teste de RC. As informações foram analisadas por meio dos testes ANOVA de três vias e post-hoc LSD (α?#8197;= 0,05). Os tipos de falha foram classificados de acordo com os escores do índice de adesivo remanescente (ARI). Resultados: Os valores de RC variaram de 1,5 a 14,9 MPa. Os grupos de resina bisacrílica jateada e de PMMA autopolimerizável jateado apresentaram valores semelhantes (p> 0,05), superiores ao do material CAD/CAM (p< 0,05) com ou sem TC. Quando submetido à TC, o grupo de resina bisacrílica polida apresentou resistência ao cisalhamento maior do que os grupos de resina acrílica polida (p= 0,005) e do material CAD/CAM (p= 0,000), com diferença estatística (p= 0,009). A TC apresentou efeito negativo (p< 0,05) para os grupos de resina bisacrílica jateada e de resina acrílica polida. O escore ARI = 0 foi predominante para o grupo CAD/CAM; os escores 1 e 2, para o grupo resina bisacrílica; e o escore 1, para o grupo resina acrílica. Conclusão: De forma geral, a resina bisacrílica apresentou os maiores valores de RC, seguida da resina acrílica e do material CAD/CAM, que apresentaram valores de RC inferiores à força recomendada para colagem de braquetes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Orthodontic treatment for adults is currently increasing, and therefore the need to bond brackets to restorations and temporary crowns. The use of CAD/CAM PMMA provisional restorations for orthodontic purposes have not yet been described, and there is currently insufficient information regarding the strength of bracket adhesion. Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the effects of thermocycling (TC) and surface treatment on shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets to different provisional materials. Methods: Forty specimens were made from each material [PMMA (Telio Lab), bis-acryl (Telio CS C&B), and PMMA CAD/CAM (Telio CAD)], sandpapered, and divided according to surface treatment (pumiced or sandblasted) and TC (half of the samples = 1,000 cycles, 5°C/55°C water baths) (n = 10/group). Stainless-steel brackets were bonded to the specimens (using Transbond XT), and SBS testing was performed. Data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and LSD post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). Failure types were classified with adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores. Results: SBS values ranged from 1.5 to 14.9 MPa. Sandblasted bis-acryl and sandblasted auto-curing PMMA groups presented similar values (p> 0.05), higher than the CAD/CAM material (p< 0.05), with or without TC. When thermocycled, pumiced bis-acryl showed higher SBS than pumiced acrylic (p= 0.005) and CAD/CAM materials (p= 0.000), with statistical difference (p= 0.009). TC showed negative effect (p< 0.05) for sandblasted bis-acryl and pumiced acrylic groups. ARI predominant score was mostly zero (0) for CAD/CAM, 1 and 2 for bis-acryl, and 1 for acrylic groups. Conclusion: In general, bis-acryl material showed the highest SBS values, followed by acrylic and CAD/CAM materials, which showed SBS values lower than an optimum strength for bonding brackets.

ABSTRACT: Fungal (or yeast) infections; mycoses, occurring in the oral mucous membranes, of Candida species (mostly C. albicans, a normal component of the oral microbiota), also known as oral thrush or oral candidiasis (OC), can be diagnosed via the recognition of clinical changes and the presence of pseudohyphae, hyphae or yeasts in samples obtained by exfoliative cytology and/or biopsy. Topical pharmacological preparations and drugs such as Nystatin and Miconazole are used in the treatment of CO. However, there are forms of Candida with resistance to such conventional treatment approaches. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the in vitro susceptibility of Candida spp.; an ethanolic extract of propolis from Olmué. Hence, an experimental in vitro descriptive study was carried out in which the effect of an ethanolic extract of propolis used as antifungal on strains of Candida spp. obtained from the oral cavity (palatine mucosa) of 31 individuals, diagnosed with OC (subdenture stomatitis) is determined. Natural propolis was obtained from the Olmué area, in the 5th region of Chile. It was found that 100 % of the samples with propolis concentration ranging from 0.1 mg / mL to 1.6 mg / mL presented a degree of inhibition in the growth of OC. On the other hand, the ethanolic extract of propolis that generated inhibition in the largestnumber of samples was 0.4 mg / mL (41.94 % of the samples) followed by the concentration of 0.2 mg / mL (35 % of the samples). Therefore, it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of Chilean propolis obtained from the Olmué area has the ability to inhibit the growth of Candida spp. in vitro in a dosage-dependent manner.

RESUMEN: La infección por Candida albicans en la mucosa oral es conocida como Candidiasis oral (CO) y se diagnostica por el reconocimiento de cambios clínicos y la presencia de pseudohifas, hifas o levaduras en muestras obtenidas por citología exfoliativa o biopsia. Los agentes farmacológicos tópicos clásicos para el tratamiento de CO son Nistatina y Miconazol. Sin embargo, a pesar de las distintas terapias contra CO, existen formas de Candida resistentes al tratamiento convencional. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la susceptibilidad in vitro de Candida spp. a un extracto etanólico de propóleo de Olmué. Se realizó un estudio experimental descriptivo in vitro en donde se evaluó el efecto que presenta el uso de extracto etanólico de propóleo como antifúngico sobre cepas de Candida spp. obtenidas de la cavidad oral (mucosa palatina) de 31 individuos, con candidiasis oral diagnosticados con estomatitis subprotésica. El propóleo chileno utilizado fue obtenido de la zona geográfica de Olmué, quinta región. Se encontró que el 100 % de las muestras en rangos de concentración de propóleo de 0,1 µg/mL y 1,6 µg/mL presentaron un grado de inhibición en el crecimiento de Candida Oral y por otra parte el extracto etanólico de propóleo que generó inhibición en la mayor cantidad de muestras fue al 0,4 µg/mL (41,94 % de las muestras) y en segundo lugar la concentración al 0,2 µg/mL (35 % de las muestras). Se concluyó que el extracto etanólico de propóleo chileno obtenido de la zona de Olmué presenta la capacidad de inhibir el crecimiento de Candida spp. en agar Sabouraud in vitro de forma dosis dependiente.

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma was described by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005, as a rare benign tumor containing mature fibrous connective tissue with a varying amount of inactive odontogenic epithelium. Though its clinical presentation, localization and low prevalence, it tends to be misdiagnosed as a reactive lesion. We present a case report of a Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma treated by surgical resection and a narrative review of the literature with the purpose of clarifying different aspects of this lesion besides considering it as a possible differential diagnosis of reactive gingival lesions. The purpose of this article is to present a case report of peripheral odontogenic fibroma treated by surgical resection. Also to contribute to the differential diagnosis of gingival reactive lesions.

El Fibroma Odontogénico Periférico fue definido por la OMS en el año 2005 como una neoplasia benigna rara constituida por tejido fibroso maduro y una cantidad variable de epitelio odontogénico inactivo. Dada su presentación clínica, localización y baja prevalencia suele ser mal diagnosticado como una lesión reaccional. Se presenta un caso clínico de fibroma odontogénico periférico tratado mediante remoción quirúrgica y se realiza una revisión de la bibliografía respecto a la patología con el propósito de esclarecer algunos aspectos de esta lesión, además de incluirla dentro de los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales de lesiones reaccionales gingivales. El objetivo del siguiente artículo es presentar un caso clínico de FOP tratado mediante remoción quirúrgica y aportar en el diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones reaccionales gingivales.
