Complications of harvesting a connective tissue graft from the palate. A retrospective study and description of a new technique
2017
Background Connective tissue graft (CTG) is considered as the gold standard for the treatment of gingival recessions (GR). There are few studies assessing the complications that can arise in the donor site when harvesting a connective tissue graft (CTG) and how the harvesting technique can influence those complications. Material and methods A retrospective clinical study was carried out in order to compare the complications observed in 40 patients with Miller class I, II and III GR ≥ 3 mm, after using the trap-door technique (TD) in the control group and a newly described technique, the "UPV/EHU technique", in the test group. Patients were consecutively allocated to each treatment group. Pa…
Relationship between indication for tooth extraction and outcome of immediate implants: a retrospective study with 5 years of follow-up
2014
Objectives: The aims of this retrospective study were to evaluate the survival rate of a series of immediate implants after 3 years of follow-up and to study the relationship between survival and indication for tooth extraction. Study design: A retrospective study of patients treated with immediate implants between January 2003 and Dec - ember 2008 was carried out. All patients receiving at least one post-extraction implant and a minimum follow-up of 5 years were included. Results: After 60 months, 30 immediate implants had been lost in 17 patients, yielding a total implant success rate of 93.8%. None of the implants placed failed after the extraction of included canines (100% success rate)…
Diabetes mellitus, periapical inflammation and endodontic treatment outcome
2012
The possible connection between chronic oral inflammatory processes, such as apical periodontitis and periodontal disease (PD), and systemic health is one of the most interesting aspects faced by the medical and dental scientific community. Chronic apical periodontitis shares important characteristics with PD: 1) both are chronic infections of the oral cavity, 2) the Gram-negative anaerobic microbiota found in both diseases is comparable, and 3) in both infectious processes increased local levels of inflammatory mediators may have an impact on systemic levels. One of the systemic disorders linked to PD is diabetes mellitus (DM); is therefore plausible to assume that chronic apical periodont…
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck in pediatric patients: a systematic review.
2022
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue malignant tumor of mesenchymal cell origin, which usually shows variable differentiation of muscle cells. It is the most common solid sarcoma in children. The most usual site of occurrence are the head and neck regions. RMS presents a variety of histologic features, and so differential diagnosis with other small round cell tumors is needed. Hence, it has been very useful to the field to undertake additional immunohistochemical studies to determine the diagnosis and, on occasions, to assign subtype tumors. A systematic review of three databases (Medline, Biological Science Collection and Health & Medical Collection) was carried out with the purpose of …
Impacto del tratamiento periodontal en el ratio rnakl/opg
2015
La reabsorción ósea es uno de los procesos con mayor transcendencia en la periodontitis. El descubrimiento del eje RANKL/RANL/0PG (receptor activador de la osteoclastogénesis) supuso un avance en la comprensión del remodelado óseos fisiológico y patológico. Los recientes estudios realizados tanto a nivel histológico como a nivel del fluido crevicular, han comprobado el aumento del ratio RANKL/OPG en los pacientes con periodontitis.Nuevos conocimientos en ésta línea aportarán información sobre la patogenia y por tanto podrían ser utilizados en el diagnóstico y tratamiento periodontal. Objetivo: Determinar el efecto del tratamiento periodontal básico (raspado y alisado radicular, junto con in…

Valoración clínica del estado dental y periodontal en un grupo de pacientes oncológicos, previo inicio de la quimioterapia
2006
Objetivos: Valorar el estado bucodental en 88 pacientes con cánceres corporales, previo al inicio de su tratamiento quimioterápico. Diseño del estudio: Estudiamos 88 pacientes con cánceres de diferentes localizaciones corporales y los comparamos con un grupo control. Analizamos la placa dental (mediante el índice de Silness y Löe), el estado dental (mediante el índice CAO.D) y el estado periodontal (índice CPI modificado). Resultados: En el grupo de pacientes oncológicos, la media del índice de placa de Silnness y Löe fue de 1,28±0,11. Los pacientes presentaban múltiples ausencias dentarias, siendo la media de dientes ausentes por caries de 7,55±0,80. También se observó que la media de cari…
Enzimas salivales y enfermedad periodontal
2006
Objetivos: Las enfermedades que producen daño tisular producen la liberación de diferentes enzimas relacionadas con la muerte y destrucción celular, como son la aspartato y alanino aminotransferasa (AST, ALT), lactato dehidrogenasa (LDH), creatinin kinasa (CK), alcalina y ácida (ALP, ACP) y gamma glutamil transferasa (GGT). Al tratarse la enfermedad periodontal (EP) de un proceso inflamatorio con afectación de la encía y periodonto, parece lógico pensar que la actividad enzimática debe reflejar los cambios metabólicos secundarios a esta reacción inflamatoria. Diseño del estudio: En este artículo examinamos la actividad de CK, LDH, AST, ALT, GGT, ALP y ACP en la saliva de pacientes con EP, a…
