ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which orthodontic treatment need is perceived by the patients and by the orthodontist, as well as the possible impacts on the OHRQoL (Oral Health-Related Quality of Life) over the course of conventional orthodontic treatment in adolescent patients. Methods: The sample consisted of 55 adolescents. The perception of patients and orthodontists relative to the malocclusion was evaluated by the IOTN (Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need). The OHRQoL was evaluated by the Child-OIDP (Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances) questionnaire before the conventional orthodontic appliance was bonded (T0); and at the following time intervals: after one week (T1), one month (T2), three months (T3), six months (T4), and after the end of orthodontic treatment (T5). Results: Adolescents who had large orthodontic treatment needs had a poor OHRQoL, according to their self-perception (p=0.003) and according to the orthodontist’s perception (p<0.001), when compared with patients with small and moderate needs. There was statistically significant difference in the OHRQoL between the time intervals T0 and T1 (p=0.021), T2 and T3 (p<0.001), T3 and T4 (p=0.033), and T0 and T5 (p<0.002). At the end of treatment, all evaluated participants reported an improvement in OHRQoL. Conclusions: It was concluded that adolescents and orthodontists agreed with regard to the perception of orthodontic treatment need. In the first week and in the first month of orthodontic treatment, there was a negative impact on the OHRQoL. After three months, an improvement of OHRQoL was detected, which has progressed over time. Objective orthodontist Oral HealthRelated Health Related Life Methods 5 Index Need. Need .

RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o quanto a necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico é percebida pelos pacientes e pelo ortodontista, bem como os possíveis impactos na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) ao longo do tratamento ortodôntico convencional em pacientes adolescentes. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 55 adolescentes. A percepção dos pacientes e ortodontistas em relação à má oclusão foi avaliada pelo Índice de Necessidade de Tratamento Ortodôntico (IOTN). A QVRSB foi avaliada pelo questionário Child-OIDP (Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances) antes da colagem do aparelho ortodôntico convencional (T0); e nos seguintes intervalos de tempo: após uma semana (T1), um mês (T2), três meses (T3), seis meses (T4) e após o término do tratamento ortodôntico (T5). Resultados: Adolescentes que apresentavam grandes necessidades de tratamento ortodôntico apresentaram baixa QVRSB, segundo sua autopercepção (p=0,003) e segundo a percepção do ortodontista (p<0,001), quando comparados com pacientes com necessidades pequenas e moderadas . Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na QVRSB entre os intervalos de tempo T0 e T1 (p=0,021), T2 e T3 (p<0,001), T3 e T4 (p=0,033) e T0 e T 5 (p<0,00 2 ). Ao final do tratamento, todos os participantes avaliados relataram melhora na QVRSB. Conclusões: Concluiu-se que adolescentes e ortodontistas concordaram quanto à percepção da necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico. Na primeira semana e no primeiro mês de tratamento ortodôntico, houve impacto negativo na QVRSB. Após três meses, foi detectada uma melhora na QVRSB, que progrediu ao longo do tempo.

Abstract The aim of this study was to understand the influence of orthosurgical treatment on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in patients with Class II and III skeletal malocclusion by conducting a mixed method case series study. Nineteen patients submitted to orthosurgical treatment in a private practice in Brazil were included in the sample. Data were collected retrospectively and interviews were held from March 2020 to July 2021. Patients answered to the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) in the first part of the interview and subsequently answered the qualitative questions. The overall mean of OHIP-14 after treatment was 4.21 (SD 4.68). The qualitative data were analyzed according to thematic analysis and four themes emerged from the interviews: a) concept of quality of life, b) pre-treatment life, c) post-treatment life, and d) positive and negative aspects of treatment. Quality of Life was reported by the patients as the absence of feeling pain, having emotional and physical health, having a satisfactory esthetic appearance and self-esteem. Before treatment, most Class II patients used to complain about breathing and sleeping problems, while Class III patients complained more intensely about esthetics. Pain was a common problem reported by both Class II and Class III patients. In general, improvement was perceived in self-esteem, esthetics, function and pain. Complaints about negative aspects of the treatment were restricted to the postoperative period. The orthosurgical treatment was important for improving the OHRQoL of patients in terms of esthetic, functional and psychosocial aspects. healthrelated health related (OHRQoL sample 202 2021 OHIP14 OHIP 14 (OHIP-14 questions OHIP-1 421 4 21 4.2 SD 4.68. 468 4.68 . 68 4.68) b pretreatment pre c posttreatment post d pain selfesteem. selfesteem self esteem. esteem self-esteem problems esthetics general selfesteem, esteem, period 20 OHIP1 1 (OHIP-1 OHIP- 42 2 4. 46 4.6 6 (OHIP- (OHIP

Aim This study aimed to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and psychosocial comorbidities in undergraduate dental students in a southern Brazilian university, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, it aimed to verify the association between psychosocial factors and TMD. Methods Fonseca Anamnestic Index, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), a socioeconomic questionnaire, and questions about academic performance and social distancing were applied. Poisson regression analysis was used to assess the association of predictive variables with TMD. Results The prevalence of TMD was found to be 82.4%, and more than half of the students had some degree of stress, anxiety, and depression. Students who had symptoms of stress (RR 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.19), anxiety (RR 1.19; 95% CI 1.12-1.27) and reported academic performance worsening (RR 1.12; 95% CI 1.07-1.19) had higher TMD scores. Conclusion The findings suggest that TMD was highly prevalent among dental students at a federal university in southern Brazil during the pandemic, being associated with high levels of stress, anxiety, poor academic performance, and greater social distancing.

RESUMO Introdução: Os mini-implantes ortodônticos (MI) são uma alternativa confiável para fornecer ancoragem esquelética temporária. Antes da inserção do mini-implante, a melhor abordagem seria avaliar cada local de inserção possível, medir a espessura do osso cortical e verificar se proporcionaria uma adequada estabilidade primária. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a diferença na espessura do osso cortical em áreas de inserção dos mini-implantes em pacientes de diferentes idades, por meio da tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Métodos: A amostra desse estudo retrospectivo foi composta por 123 tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico, que foram utilizadas para medir a espessura do osso cortical nos espaços inter-radiculares vestibular e palatino na região mesial dos primeiros molares permanentes. Essas medidas foram comparadas por meio dos testes t de Student, ANOVA/Tukey e regressão linear entre os sexos masculino e feminino, de 12 a 30 anos. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na espessura cortical, quando comparados sexo, cor da pele e padrão facial sagital. Foram verificadas medidas significativamente maiores em pacientes com idade superior a 12 anos em todos os sítios avaliados. O coeficiente β da análise de regressão linear ajustada mostrou que, a cada incremento da idade, os valores médios da espessura cortical aumentaram 0,06 mm na mandíbula, 0,03 mm na região vestibular e 0,02 mm na região palatina da maxila. Conclusão: O aumento da espessura do osso cortical teve associação positiva com a idade, ou seja, quanto mais avançada a idade do paciente, menor a chance de falha, devido à estabilidade primária.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Orthodontic mini-implants (MI) are a reliable alternative to provide temporary orthodontic anchorage. Prior to miniscrew insertion, the best approach would be to evaluate each possible insertion site and measure the cortical bone thickness, and verify whether it would provide adequate primary stability. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the difference in cortical bone thickness in areas of mini-implants insertion in patients of different ages, by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The sample of this retrospective study was composed of 123 CBCT scans, which were used to measure cortical bone thickness in the buccal and palatal inter-radicular space in the mesial region of the first permanent molars. These measures were compared by using the Student’s t-test, ANOVA/Tukey tests, and Linear regression between male and female subjects, from 12 to 30 years old. Results: No significant difference was found in cortical bone thickness between sex, race and sagittal facial patterns. Significantly higher measurement values were observed in patients older than 12 years of age at all sites evaluated. The coefficient β at the adjusted linear regression analysis showed that at each increment in age, mean cortical thickness values increased by 0.06mm in the mandible, 0.03mm in the buccal region and 0.02mm in the palatal region of the maxilla. Conclusions: The increase in cortical bone thickness was positively associated with age; that is, the more advanced the patient’s age was, the less chance there was of failure due to primary stability.

RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a estabilidade de cor das resinas compostas Filtek Z350 XT, Filtek Z250 XT, Z100 e resina ortodôntica Transbond XT, utilizadas para attachments ortodônticos, quando imersas em bebidas populares. Métodos: Trinta corpos de prova em forma de disco de cada resina composta (2 x 5mm) foram confeccionados e divididos aleatoriamente em seis grupos, de acordo com as soluções de imersão: café, vinho tinto, vinho branco, cerveja clara, cerveja escura e água deionizada (controle). Os discos foram totalmente imersos nas soluções por seis dias a 37°C, representando aproximadamente seis meses de consumo. As medidas de cor foram realizadas por um espectrofotômetro de reflexão, no baseline (antes da imersão) e após o manchamento. As coordenadas L*a*b* foram medidas e a variação de cor (ΔE00) foi calculada usando a fórmula CIEDE2000. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a análise de variância seguida pelo teste post-hoc de Tukey, com nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: As resinas imersas em vinho branco e cerveja clara apresentaram ΔE00 imperceptível ou clinicamente aceitável, sem diferença em relação ao grupo controle (p= 0,44449 e p= 0,467, respectivamente). A imersão em café e vinho tinto foi considerada clinicamente inaceitável e significativamente diferente do grupo controle (p= 0,0028 e p= 0,0475, respectivamente). Conclusão: Com base nos resultados do presente estudo, o consumo de café e vinho tinto pode causar alteração na cor dos attachments ortodônticos acima do limite de aceitabilidade visual e prejudicar a estética durante o tratamento.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the color stability of Filtek Z350 XT, Filtek Z250 XT, Z100 resin composites and Transbond XT orthodontic resin, all used in orthodontic attachments, when immersed in popular beverages. Methods: Thirty disk-shaped specimens of each resin composite (2 x 5mm) were manufactured and randomly divided into six groups according to immersion solutions: coffee, red wine, white wine, regular beer, dark beer and deionized water (control). The specimens were fully immersed in each of the solutions for six days at 37°C, representing approximately six months of consumption. The color measurements were evaluated by a reflection spectrophotometer, at baseline (before immersion) and after staining. L*a*b* coordinates were measured and the color change (ΔE00) was calculated using the CIEDE2000 formula. The data were analyzed by ANOVA/Tukey tests at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The resin composites immersed in white wine and regular beer showed either imperceptible or clinically acceptable ΔE00, and no difference from the control group (p= 0.4449 and p= 0.467 respectively). Immersion in coffee and red wine were considered clinically unacceptable and were significantly different from the control group (p= 0.0028 and p= 0.0475 respectively). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, the consumption of coffee and red wine may cause color change of the resin composite attachments above the visual acceptability threshold, and impair aesthetics during treatment.

Abstract Background Malocclusions are highly prevalent in childhood and adolescence, being considered a public health problem worldwide, in addition to be considered an important predictor in the tongue position and speech disorders. Objective Evaluate the association of malocclusions with tongue position and speech distortion in mixed-dentition schoolchildren from the south of Brazil. Methodology This cross-sectional study was performed using a database of an epidemiological survey realized in the southern of Brazil, in 2015, for evaluating the dental and myofunctional condition of the mixed-dentition from 7-13 years’ schoolchildren. The outcome variables were tongue position and speech distortion, evaluated by a trained and calibrated examiner. Characteristics regarding sociodemographic and oral health measures (Angle’s classification of the malocclusion, overjet, overbite, posterior crossbite and respiratory mode) were also assessed. Poisson regression models with adjusted robust variance were used to evaluate the association among predictors variables in the outcomes. Results are presented as prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results A total of 547 children were evaluated. Schoolchildren who presented anterior open bite (PR 2.36 95%CI 1.59-3.49) and having oral/oral-nasal breathing (RP 2.51 95%CI 1.70-3.71) are more likely to have altered position of the tongue. Both deep bite and being male represent protection factors for the abnormal tongue position. Regarding speech distortion, deep overbite presents a protective relationship to speech distortion (PR 0.41; 95%CI 0.24-0.71), whereas schoolchildren with posterior crossbite were more likely to present this problem (PR 1.77; 95%CI 1.09-2.88). Conclusion Anterior open bite and posterior crossbite were the malocclusions related to speech distortion and/or altered tongue position. Oral/oral-nasal breathing was also related to myofunctional changes. Deep bite malocclusion was a protective factor for both speech problems and altered tongue position when compared to a normal overbite.
