Traumatismos dentarios en Valencia
La Traumatología dental es la rama de la Odontología que aborda la epidemiología, etiología, prevención, evaluación, diagnóstico y tratamiento de los traumatismos producidos sobre los dientes, maxilares y tejidos circundantes. También abarca las secuelas postraumáticas, como la reabsorción radicular y su tratamiento. Hoy en día las lesiones traumáticas son la segunda causa de atención odontológica después de la caries, habiéndose producido un aumento en la prevalencia de estas lesiones en las últimas décadas. En todo el mundo existen más de 3.000 millones de pacientes con traumatismos dentales y cada año se añaden aproximadamente 60 millones más, demostrándose la alta prevalencia de estas l…
Dentinal sensitivity : concept and methodology for its objective evaluation
Dentinal sensitivity is a clinical condition of some importance, particularly in periodontal patients. Symptoms appear on applying a triggering stimulus to the exposed dentine - the particularity being that the pain is similar to that of other dental disorders of different etiology and treatment. Hence the importance of a correct differential diagnosis. The main problem not only in clinical practice when treating the disorder, but also in designing studies for the objective evaluation of dentinal sensitivity, is the difficulty of standardizing, evaluating and interpreting the clinical condition in its different degrees. Thus, consensus in designing and evaluating studies of dentinal sensiti…
An in vitro comparison of cyclic fatigue resistance of ProTaper universal and GT series X files
Objective : The aim of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of two nickel-titanium (NiTi) endodontic instruments from ProTaper and GT series X files. Study Design: Cyclic fatigue test was realized with instruments from ProTaper: F1 and F3 (Denstply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and GT-X: 20.06 and 30.08 (Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States of America). A total of 320 instruments were rotated in 4 curved artificial canals with different angles and radius of curvature. The time and cycles to failure were calculated. The data was compared using a Mann-Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results:…
