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:…

La documentación clínica en odonto-estomatología

Cada vez es mayor el número de personas que demandan atención odontológica en la Escuela de Estomatología de Valencia. Esta demanda por parte de los pacientes nos exige, además, que la atención prestada sea cada vez de mayor calidad. Cuando a los pacientes se les presta una atención inadecuada o no todo lo buena que podría ser, una de las causas determinantes puede ser la falta de una continuidad en la atención al paciente (GERTZOG, J.,1974 y; HAMMOND, K.,1974 y LEWIS, C.A.,1975). La falta de continuidad en la asistencia es, a su vez, la resultante de una información insuficiente sobre ese paciente, y esto es, en general, consecuencia de un sistema de información deficiente. Es por ello que…
