Reacción granulomatosa facial por rellenos cosméticos inyectados: presentación de cinco casos
2006
El uso de sustancias para el aumento de tejidos blandos por motivos estéticos puede ocasionar la aparición de granulomas a cuerpo extraño, entre otros efectos indeseables. Las mejoras introducidas en dichas sustancias han conseguido la disminución de la incidencia de reacciones adversas pero no su desaparición. Presentamos cinco casos de reacción a cuerpo extraño por tres productos diferentes, dimetilpolisiloxano (silicona), colágeno bovino, y ácido poliláctico, que habían sido infiltrados en el tejido celular subcutáneo de las pacientes (las cinco eran mujeres) entre dos y dieciséis años antes de la aparición de la reacción a cuerpo extraño. Las cinco presentaron un cuadro de tumefacción f…
The effect of glass ionomer and adhesive cements on substance P expression in human dental pul
2013
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of glass ionomer and adhesive cements on SP expression in healthy human dental pulp. Study Design: Forty pulp samples were obtained from healthy premolars where extraction was indicated for orthodontic reasons. In thirty of these premolars a Class V cavity preparation was performed and teeth were equally divided in three groups: Experimental Group I: Glass Ionomer cement was placed in the cavity. Experimental Group II: Adhesive Cement was placed in the cavity. Positive control group: Class V cavities only. The remaining ten healthy premolars where extracted without treatment and served as a negative control group. All pulp sam…
Bone implant sockets made using three different procedures: a stability study in dogs
2012
Objective: This study compared the effects of three different methods of preparing bone implant sockets (drilling, osteotomes, and piezoelectric device) on osseointegration using resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Study Design: An experimental prospective study was designed. Material and Methods: Ten adult beagle dogs were studied. After 5 weeks, 23 out of 28 initially placed implants in the iliac crest were evaluated, comparing these three different procedures of bone implant socket. Student’s t-test (paired, two-tailed) was used to reveal differences among the three groups at each time point (SPSS 16.0, IL, USA). Results: After a 5-week healing period, the implants placed in sockets that…
Hemostatic agents used in apical surgery: a review
2011
Objective: A review was made of the current literature on hemostatic agents used in apical surgery in order to determine their effectiveness and adverse effects. Material and methods: The main search terms used were: endodontic surgery, apicoectomy, apical surgery, periradicular surgery, hemostasis, hemostatic agents, and bleeding control. The authors searched the Medline database for articles published up to 1 September 2010. Experimental and clinical studies comparing the effectiveness and/ or adverse effects of two or more hemostatic agents and published between 2000 and 2010 were included in the review. Results: Four studies were analyzed: two clinical studies and two experimental studi…
Relación entre la hepatitis crónica vírica B y/o C y el liquen plano bucal
2004
Introducción: La hepatopatía crónica es una patología producida, principalmente, por la ingesta alcohólica y por la infección de los virus de la hepatitis B y/o C. En los últimos años se ha discutido ampliamente la posible asociación entre la hepatopatía crónica y el liquen plano bucal. Recientemente, se ha especulado que la asociación entre liquen plano bucal y la enfermedad hepática tiene una base de origen vírica. Material y método: El objetivo de este estudio transversal emparejado es conocer si existe relación entre las hepatitis víricas B y/o C crónicas y el liquen plano bucal. Para ello, se seleccionaron dos grupos de 100 individuos cada uno: un grupo de casos, formado por pacientes …
Dental considerations in patients with liver disease
2011
Introduction: Liver diseases are very common, and the main underlying causes are viral infections, alcohol abuse and lipid and carbohydrate metabolic disorders. The liver has a broad range of functions in maintaining homeostasis and health, and moreover metabolizes many drug substances. Objective: An update is provided on the oral manifestations seen in patients with viral hepatitis, alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and on the dental management of such patients. Material and methods: A Medline-PubMed search was conducted of the literature over the last 15 years using the keywords: “hepatitis”, “alcoholic hepatitis”, “fatty liver”, “cirrhosis…
Microhardness of demineralized enamel following home bleaching and laser-assisted in office bleaching
2015
Background There is little data regarding the effect of tooth whitening on microhardness of white spot lesions. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of home-bleaching and laser-assisted in-office bleaching on microhardness of demineralized enamel. Material and Methods Forty bovine incisors were selected and immersed in a demineralizing solution for 12 weeks to induce white spot lesions. Enamel blocks were prepared and randomly assigned to two groups of 20 each. The first group underwent home bleaching with 15% carbamide peroxide which was applied for 8 hours a day over a period of 15 days. In the second group, in-office bleaching was performed by 40% hydrogen peroxide and powe…
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia: new insights and guidance for clinicians to improve detection and clinical management. A position paper fr…
2014
Item does not contain fulltext AIMS: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare life-threatening condition characterized by markedly elevated circulating levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and accelerated, premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). Given recent insights into the heterogeneity of genetic defects and clinical phenotype of HoFH, and the availability of new therapeutic options, this Consensus Panel on Familial Hypercholesterolaemia of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) critically reviewed available data with the aim of providing clinical guidance for the recognition and management of HoFH. METHODS AND RESULTS: Early diagn…
Bases fisiológicas de la regeneración ósea I: histología y fisiología del tejido óseo
2006
El hueso es el único tejido del organismo capaz de regenerarse, permitiendo la restitutio ad integrum tras el trauma. Cuando se produce una fractura, se coloca un implante osteointegrado o se realiza un injerto para aumentar el sustrato óseo antes de la inserción de implantes, lo que se pretende es la regeneración ósea, es decir, la formación de hueso nuevo que, tras un proceso de remodelado, sea idéntico al preexistente. El hueso es un tejido dinámico en constante formación y reabsorción. Este fenómeno equilibrado, denominado proceso de remodelado, permite la renovación de un 5-15 % del hueso total al año en condiciones normales (1). El remodelado óseo consiste en la reabsorción de una can…
Bases fisiológicas de la regeneración ósea II: el proceso de remodelado
2006
El remodelado óseo es un proceso de reestructuración del hueso existente, que está en constante formación y reabsorción. Este fenómeno equilibrado permite, en condiciones normales, la renovación de un 5-10% del hueso total al año. A nivel microscópico el remodelado óseo se produce en las unidades básicas multicelulares, donde los osteoclastos reabsorben una cantidad determinada de hueso y los osteoblastos forman la matriz osteoide y la mineralizan para rellenar la cavidad previamente creada. En estas unidades hay osteoclastos, macrófagos, preosteoblastos y osteoblastos y están regidos por una serie de factores, tanto generales como locales, permitiendo el normal funcionamiento del hueso y e…
