Abstract To evaluate the impact of genetic polymorphisms in interleukins (IL1A rs17561, rs1304037; IL10 rs1800871; IL1RN rs9005), nitric oxide (NOS2 rs2779249, rs2897518) and suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS1 rs243327, rs33977706) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients under-going root canal treatment (RCT). Methods: The sample consisted of 108 participants, presenting single-rooted teeth with asymptomatic periapical periodontitis. The impact of the OHRQoL was recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) before, seven, and 30 days after RCT. Saliva samples were collected as a source of genomic DNA. Genetic polymorphisms were genotyped by Real-Time PCR using the Taqman method. Univariate and Multivariate analyses were used (p<0.05). Results: A significant difference was observed for the polymorphism rs2297518 in the NOS2 gene in functional limitation in the codominant (p=0.037) and recessive (p=0.001) models; in the physical pain (p<0.001 in both models); in psychological discomfort (p<0.001 in both models); in physical disability (p<0.001 in both models) and in psychological disability (p<0.001 in both models). Polymorphisms in the SOCS1 gene, in the recessive model, rs33977706 (p=0.045) and rs243327 (p=0.019), influenced the OHRQoL in the psychological discomfort domain. Conclusions: Polymorphisms in NOS2 and SOCS1 genes influenced the OHRQoL of patients undergoing RCT.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in SOD2 and SOD3 genes modulate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Para athletes with dental caries experience. The cross-sectional study included 264 Para athletes (143 in athletics, 61 in weightlifting and 60 in swimming). A trained and calibrated team recorded the decayed, missing and filled teeth index (DMFT). The Brazilian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was used to measure OHRQoL. Genomic DNA was extracted from the athletes’ saliva, and genetic polymorphisms in the SOD2 (rs5746136 and rs10370) and SOD3 (rs2855262 and rs13306703) genes were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. A multivariate General Linear Model analysis, adjusted for sex, revealed that the SOD3 gene polymorphism (rs2855262) had a significant effect on the psychological disability domain [codominant (p = 0.045) and recessive (p=0.038) models]. The SOD2 gene polymorphism (rs5746136) had a significant effect on the total OHIP-14 score [dominant model (p = 0.038)] and the psychological discomfort [dominant model (p = 0.034)] and physical disability [codominant model (p=0.037)] domains. Presence of the SOD2 rs10370 polymorphism led to statistical differences in the total score [codominant (p = 0.026) and dominant (p = 0.023) models] and the handicap domain scores [codominant (p = 0.027) and dominant (p = 0.032) models]. Polymorphisms of the SOD2 and SOD3 genes may be important biomarkers of OHRQoL in Para athletes with dental caries experience.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of endodontic treatment with photobiomodulation on oral health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Material and Methods: Seventy participants with single-rooted teeth and a diagnosis of asymptomatic apical periodontitis were selected and randomized into two groups: control group (CG, n = 35), root canal treatment without additional treatment, and experimental group (EG, n = 35), root canal treatment associated with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and low-level laser therapy. OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire (OHIP-14) at baseline and 7 and 30 days after treatment. Data were subjected to Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney tests, and linear regression using the generalized estimating equation model, using the Statistical Package for Social Science software with a significance level of 5%. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between groups regarding sociodemographic and clinical characteristics (p>0.05). There was also no difference in the OHRQoL between the CG and EG (p>0.05). However, there was a statistical difference in OHIP-14 scores between baseline and the 7- and 30-day follow-up intervals in both groups for all domains (p<0.05).

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare postoperative pain, tenderness, edema, and medication use after foraminal enlargement in a single visit, using 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX). Material and Methods: Seventy patients with single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis were randomized into two groups according to the irrigation protocol: control (NaOCl - 35 patients) and case (CHX - 35 patients). Pain intensity was assessed using the visual analog scale (recorded every day for seven days, on the 14th and 30th days after treatment). Edema was assessed by two independent evaluators on the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days after treatment using photographs. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher's Exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests in SPSS. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative pain and tenderness between the groups on the 2nd day (p<0.05). There was no difference between the groups for edema (p=1.00) and use of medication (p=0.77).

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The goal of the present study was to assess the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) subtypes in individuals that search for specialized care, identifying the subtypes of TMD, muscular and/or articular, in addition to relating each subtype with variables such as gender and age. METHODS: In this context, after a screening, 270 individuals, aged between 18 and 70 years, were selected. All data were acquired using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) instrument. RESULTS: Among the 267 patients, 88.7% (n = 237) were female and 11.3% (n = 30) were male, with a mean age of 42±11.8 years. In this study, the predominance of joint/muscle TMD was evidenced (51.7%; n = 138), followed by only muscle TMD (47.5%; n = 127) and lastly, joint TMD (0.8%; n = 2). Important correlations (p>0.05) were not identified when comparing TMD subtypes with the variables gender and age, according to chi-square test. By relating the diagnosis to the TMD subtype, it was evidenced that bilateral myalgia was the most prevalent in muscle TMD (n = 100; 37.4%) and articular/muscular (n = 112; 41.9%). The other variables did not show significant statistics, neither moderate nor strong correlation. CONCLUSION: In this research, all TMD subtypes were found, with a clear predominance of joint/muscle type of TMD, followed by muscle only, especially in females aged between 39 and 48 years.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a frequência dos subtipos de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) em indivíduos que buscaram atendimento especializado, identificando os subtipos da DTM, se muscular e/ou articular, além de relacionar cada subtipo com variáveis como sexo e faixa etária. MÉTODOS: Neste contexto, após uma triagem, foram selecionados 270 indivíduos na cidade de Fortaleza/CE, com faixa etária entre 18 anos e 70 anos de idade. Todos os indivíduos foram avaliados por meio do instrumento Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). RESULTADOS: Entre os 267 pacientes, 88,7% (n = 237) foram do sexo feminino e 11,3% (n = 30) do masculino, com média de idade de 42 ± 11,8 anos. Neste estudo evidenciou-se a predominância de DTM articular/muscular (51,7%; n = 138), seguida de indivíduos com DTM somente muscular (47,5%; n = 127) e por último a articular (0,8%; n = 2). Não foram identificadas correlações importantes (p > 0,05), segundo o teste qui-quadrado, quando comparados os subtipos de DTM com as variáveis gênero e idade. Ao relacionar o diagnóstico com o subtipo de DTM, evidenciou-se que a mialgia bilateral foi a mais prevalente na DTM muscular (n = 100; 37,4%) e articular/muscular (n = 112; 41,9%). As demais variáveis não apontaram significância estatística nem correlação moderada ou forte. CONCLUSÃO: Nesta pesquisa, foram encontrados todos os tipos de DTM, havendo um claro predomínio da DTM do tipo articular/muscular, seguida da somente muscular, especialmente em indivíduos do gênero feminino e de idade entre 39 e 48 anos.

RESULTADOS: Entre os 267 pacientes, 88,7% (n = 237) foram do sexo feminino e 11,3% (n = 30) do masculino, com média de idade de 42 ± 11,8 anos. Neste estudo evidenciou-se a predominância de DTM articular/muscular (51,7%; n = 138), seguida de indivíduos com DTM somente muscular (47,5%; n = 127) e por último a articular (0,8%; n = 2). Não foram identificadas correlações importantes (p > 0,05), segundo o teste qui-quadrado, quando comparados os subtipos de DTM com as variáveis gênero e idade. Ao relacionar o diagnóstico com o subtipo de DTM, evidenciou-se que a mialgia bilateral foi a mais prevalente na DTM muscular (n = 100; 37,4%) e articular/muscular (n = 112; 41,9%). As demais variáveis não apontaram significância estatística nem correlação moderada ou forte. CONCLUSÃO: Nesta pesquisa, foram encontrados todos os tipos de DTM, havendo um claro predomínio da DTM do tipo articular/muscular, seguida da somente muscular, especialmente em indivíduos do gênero feminino e de idade entre 39 e 48 anos.

ABSTRACT The exhaustion faced by academics served as the starting point for this special issue - edited, written, and reviewed exclusively by cis and trans women. We understand exhaustion as a consequence of historical and daily battles for gender equality, aggravated by the burden of reproductive work. Thus, even when exhausted, we accepted this challenge out of the conviction of the political role necessary to open spaces in the face of a masculine logic of science production. This editorial was structured based on recognizing the importance of producing, identifying, and living with the challenges necessary to disrupt oppression. These challenges come in the form of (1) bringing together female editors, authors, and reviewers from different regions, academic backgrounds, and diverse representations; (2) time, which revealed itself as an instrument of domination and gender violence; (3) the operationalization of the contradiction in producing an edition exclusively for women, considering the male logic of practicing science. This edition should be read as a pedagogical instrument to visualize the challenges experienced, and it is a call for collective responsibility in the fight to create space in everyday life, specifically in the academic field. Finally, if we are to combat injustices, we must provoke daily discomfort, and this edition set out to do just that. edited written women equality work Thus exhausted production identifying oppression 1 (1 editors authors regions backgrounds representations 2 (2 time violence 3 (3 experienced life field Finally injustices discomfort that (

RESUMO A exaustão enfrentada por acadêmicas serviu como ponto de partida para esta edição especial - editada, escrita e revisada exclusivamente por mulheres cis e trans. Entendemos a exaustão como consequência das batalhas históricas e cotidianas pela igualdade de gênero, agravada pelo ônus do trabalho reprodutivo. Assim, mesmo exaustas, aceitamos este desafio pela convicção do papel político necessário para abrir frestas frente a uma lógica masculina de produção da ciência. Este editorial foi estruturado a partir do reconhecimento da importância de se produzir, identificar e conviver com incômodos necessários para desestruturarmos opressões. Foram eles: (i) o desafio de reunir editoras, autoras, pareceristas mulheres de diferentes regionalidades, trajetórias acadêmicas e representatividade; (ii) o tempo, que se revelou como um instrumento de dominação e de violência de gênero; (iii) a operacionalização da contradição em se produzir uma edição só de mulheres considerando a lógica masculina de se fazer ciência. Temos a convicção de que esta edição deva ser lida como um instrumento pedagógico de visibilização dos desafios vividos, e mais, trata-se de uma convocação para a responsabilidade coletiva na luta pela abertura de novas frestas na vida cotidiana e especificamente no campo acadêmico. Por fim, se é necessário combater injustiças, se torna iminente provocarmos incômodos cotidianos, e foi isso a que essa edição se propôs. editada trans gênero reprodutivo Assim exaustas ciência opressões eles i (i editoras autoras regionalidades representatividade ii (ii tempo iii (iii vividos mais tratase trata acadêmico fim injustiças cotidianos propôs

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação das variáveis idade, sexo, posição no arco, comprimento do dente, amplitude do canal radicular e tamanho da lesão periapical com a ocorrência de sinais e sintomas pós-operatórios (dor, dor ao toque e edema) e o uso de analgésicos após o tratamento endodôntico com alargamento foraminal em dentes uniradiculares com lesão periapical. Este estudo longitudinal prospectivo incluiu 105 pacientes que necessitavam de tratamento endodôntico em dentes uniradiculares superiores ou inferiores com lesão periapical. Após o tratamento do canal radicular em uma sessão, a intensidade da dor e a dor ao toque foram registradas diariamente por 7 dias e nos dias 14 e 30. O edema foi avaliado por dois avaliadores independentes dentro de 48 h, 72 h e 7 dias após o tratamento. Foram realizadas regressões ordinal e logística, e a significância estatística foi fixada em um valor de p < 0,05. Gênero feminino (beta = 1,02; p < 0.01), dentes inferiores (beta = 25,50; p < 0.01), amplitude média do canal radicular (beta = 0,93; p = 0,03) e edema (beta = 1,88; p < 0.01) foram associados ao aumento da dor e dor ao toque pós-operatória, enquanto o uso de analgésicos (beta = -1,82; p < 0.01) e o tempo em dias (beta = -0,23; p < 0.01) foram associados à diminuição desses sinais e sintomas. O edema foi considerado fator de risco para necessidade de analgésico (Odds Ratio [OR] = 61,46; p < 0.01). Fatores como sexo, posição do arco e amplitude do canal radicular foram associados aos sinais e sintomas pós-operatórios. O uso de analgésicos foi mais necessário no edema e foi associado à diminuição da dor.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the association of the variables age, gender, arch position, tooth length, root canal amplitude, and periapical lesion size with the occurrence of postoperative signs and symptoms (pain, tenderness, and edema) and the use of postoperative analgesics following root canal treatment with foraminal enlargement in single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis. This prospective longitudinal study included 105 patients requiring root canal treatment of maxillary or mandibular single-rooted teeth with periapical lesion. After root canal treatment in a single session, pain intensity and tenderness were recorded daily for 7 days and on days 14 and 30. Edema was evaluated by two independent evaluators within 48 h, 72 h, and 7 days after treatment. Ordinal and logistic regressions were performed (p < 0.05). Female gender (beta = 1.02; p < 0.01), mandibular teeth (beta = 25.50; p < 0.01), medium root canal amplitude (beta = 0.93; p = 0.03), and edema (beta = 1.88; p < 0.01) were associated with increased postoperative pain and tenderness, while the use of analgesics (beta = -1.82; p < 0.01) and time in days (beta = -0.23; p < 0.01) were associated with a decrease in these signs and symptoms. Edema was considered a risk factor for analgesic requirement (Odds Ratio [OR] = 61.46; p < 0.01). Factors such as gender, arch position, and root canal amplitude were associated with postoperative signs and symptoms. The use of analgesics was more required in edema and was associated with decreased pain.

Abstract Pulpal and periodontal tissues have similar microbiota that allows cross-contamination between the pulp and periodontal tissues. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of isolated Candida albicans from periodontal endodontic lesions in diabetic and normoglycemic patients, and the fungi's virulence in different atmospheric conditions. Material and Methods A case-control study was conducted on 15 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (G1) and 15 non-diabetics (G2) with periodontal endodontic lesions. Samples of root canals and periodontal pockets were plated on CHROMagar for later identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and virulence test. Results C. albicans was identified in 79.2% and 20.8% of the 60 samples collected from diabetic and normoglycemic patients, respectively. Of the 30 samples collected from periodontal pockets, 13 showed a positive culture for C. albicans, with 77% belonging to G1 and 23% to G2. Of the 11 positive samples from root canals, 82% were from G1 and 18% from G2. Production of proteinase presented a precipitation zone Pz<0.63 of 100% in G1 and 72% in G2, in redox and negative (Pz=1), under anaerobic conditions in both groups. Hydrophobicity of the strains from G1 indicated 16.4% with low, 19.3% with moderate, and 64.3% with high hydrophobicity in redox. In G2, 42.2% had low, 39.8% had moderate, 18% had high hydrophobicity in redox. In anaerobic conditions, G1 showed 15.2% with low, 12.8% with moderate, and 72% with high hydrophobicity; in G2, 33.6% had low, 28.8% had moderate, and 37.6% had high hydrophobicity. There was statistical difference in the number of positive cultures between G1 and G2 (p<0.05) with predominance in G1. There was statistical difference for all virulence factors, except hemolysis (p=0.001). Conclusions Candida albicans was isolated more frequently and had higher virulence in diabetic patients.

Objetivo: Conhecer as iniciativas de aplicação da telessaúde nas práticas de telerreabilitação em crianças e adolescentes de zero a 18 anos, a partir de revisão sistemática da literatura.Fontes de dados:Ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados publicados nos últimos dez anos (janeiro de 2002 a fevereiro de 2012) nas bases Medline/PubMed, Medline/BVS, PEDro e Biblioteca Cochrane.Os descritores "telemedicina", "reabilitação" e "telessaúde" foram utilizados em três diferentes idiomas (português, inglês e espanhol).Síntese dos dados:Dos 20 estudos encontrados na literatura, nove foram incluídos nesta revisão. A maioria dos estudos demonstrou que a telerreabilitação é capaz de produzir melhores resultados no tratamento quando comparada aos métodos de reabilitação tradicionais, proporcionando diminuição na ocorrência de sintomas, melhora na qualidade de vida, maior controle das doenças e maior adesão ao tratamento.Conclusões:A telerreabilitação é uma estratégia viável e efetiva no tratamento de doenças frequentes em crianças e adolescentes. No entanto, encontraram-se poucos estudos sobre o uso da telereabilitação nessa faixa etária. Embora a telessaúde já esteja consolidada em nível mundial, não se localizaram estudos realizados no Brasil que utilizassem a telerreabilitação em crianças e adolescentes, o que reforça a necessidade de maior número de pesquisas e investimentos.

Objective: To systematically review the literature on the telehealth initiatives in telerehabilitation practices in children and adolescents from zero to 18 years old.Data sources: Randomized and controlled clinical trials published in the past ten years (January 2002 to February 2012) in Medline/PubMed, Medline/BVS, PEDro and Cochrane Library databases. The descriptors "telemedicine", "rehabilitation" and "telehealth" were used in three different languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish).Data synthesis:From the 20 studies found in the literature, nine were included in this review. Most of the studies showed that telerehabilitation is able to produce better results in the treatment when compared to the traditional methods, providing less frequency of symptoms, better disease control, better quality of life and greater adherence to treatment.Conclusions: Telerehabilitation is a viable and effective strategy in the treatment of common diseases in children and adolescents. However, there are few studies on the subject in this age group. Although telehealth is already consolidated worldwide, there are no studies in Brazil that used the telerehabilitation in children and adolescents, which reinforces the need for more research and investments.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a produção de matéria seca de genótipos de capim‑elefante (Pennisetum purpureum) manejado sob lotação intermitente. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com dois genótipos e três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram da combinação fatorial (2x2x2) de genótipos ('BRS Kurumi' e o clone CNPGL 00‑1‑3), dois níveis de interceptação luminosas (IL) por ocasião da entrada dos animais nos piquetes (90 e 95%) e duas alturas pós‑pastejo do dossel (30 e 50 cm). Foram usadas 24 novilhas mestiças Holandês x Zebu. A densidade de lotação variou para que se finalizasse os períodos de pastejo em dois dias. O intervalo entre desfolhações com 95% de IL resultou em maior massa foliar por ciclo de pastejo. A altura pós‑patejo de 30 cm não afetou o número de ciclos de pastejo, mas proporcionou maior taxa de acúmulo de forragem. A cultivar BRS Kurumi apresenta maior crescimento do pasto, menor intervalo entre pastejos e maior número de ciclos de pastejo, o que resulta em maior produção de forragem na estação de crescimento

The objective of this work was to evaluate the dry matter production of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes, managed under intermittent stocking. A completely randomized design was used, with two genotypes and three replicates. The treatments consisted of factorial combinations (2x2x2) of genotypes ('BRS Kurumi' and the clone CNPGL 00‑1‑3), two light interception levels (LI) at the onset of grazing (90 and 95%), and two post‑grazing canopy heights (30 and 50 cm). A total of 24 Holstein x Zebu crossbred heifers were used. The stocking density varied in order to finish the grazing periods in two days. The interval between the defoliation, based on 95% LI, resulted in a higher leaf mass per grazing cycle. The post‑grazing height of 30 cm did not affect the number of grazing cycles but provided a greater herbage accumulation rate. The cultivar BRS Kurumi has higher pasture growth, lower rest period, and greater number of grazing cycles, which results in increased forage production in the growing season.
