Enameloid microstructure in the oldest known chondrichthyan teeth
2009
Botella, H., Donoghue, P.C.J and Martinez-Perez, C. 2009. The enameloid microstructure of the oldest known chondrichthyan teeth. — Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 90 (Suppl. 1): 103‐108 Previous studies on tooth enameloid microstructure in several chondrichthyan taxa spanning the phylogeny of the group provided support for the homology of chondrichthyan tooth enameloid. This hypothesis requires that a single crystallite enameloid (SCE) monolayer must be present in the teeth of the most primitive chondrichthyan. However, the dental microstructure of the earliest sharks has yet to be investigated. We have studied the tooth enameloid microstructure of the two oldest tooth-bearing shark species curr…
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…
Injerto óseo simultáneo a la colocación de implantes: a propósito de un caso
2005
Los defectos óseos a nivel de la cresta alveolar mandibular dificultan la colocación de los implantes dentales en el lugar idóneo. La reconstrucción quirúrgica mediante injertos de hueso autólogo es una opción que permite la fijación de los implantes de manera estética y funcional. Presentamos un paciente con grandes pérdidas óseas mandibulares, secundarias a procesos inflamatorios periodontales. Se realizó la reconstrucción del proceso alveolar mandibular, empleando injertos en bloque, tipo onlay, tomados de la mandíbula. Los injertos fueron estabilizados al colocar los implantes a través de ellos, consiguiéndose además una buena fijación primaria de los mismos. Tras dos años de seguimient…
Results of a dental care protocol for mentally handicapped patients set in a primary health care area in Spain
2007
Objective: Disabled people have the same right as other people to receive the health care they need, but they sometimes have difficulties to achieve it. In Castilla y Leon it has come into effect a law to guarantee Primary and Secondary Care coordination to provide dental treatment under sedation or anaesthesia to mentally disabled people who need it. Our aim is to evaluate the results of the implementation of such a law through a specific protocol in our health setting. Study design: Descriptive, made in a Health Area over a year, on mentally disabled people who were sent to hospital for treatment under anaesthesia after Primary Dental Care Units assessment. It has been studied the age, ge…
Regional odontodysplasia of the deciduous and permanent teeth associated with eruption disorders: A case report
2008
WOS: 000259667500007 PubMed: 18758400 Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is an unusual, non-hereditary anomaly of the dental hard tissues with characteristic clinical, radiographic and histological findings. Clinically, RO affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Radiographically, there is a lack of contrast between the enamel dentin, both of which are less radiopaque than unaffected counterparts. Additionally, enamel and dentin layers are thin, giving the teeth a "ghost-like" appearance. Histologically, areas of hypocalcified enamel are visible and enamel prisms appear irregular in direction. Coronal dentin is fibrous, consisting of clefts and a redu…
Cirugia de revisión en la lumbociatica
1987
The author presents eleven personal cases in which it has been necessary a revrsion surgery of the previous intervention for lumbar disk hernia, in order to have relapsed symptoms after the free assymptomatic interval. The common finding at surgery was a membrane flavectomy with or without a disk hernia.
Graft-versus-host disease, an eight case report and literature review.
2006
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a common complication in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. It is characterized by systemic and oral cavity alterations. Depending on the timing of lesions, GVHD is classified as acute or chronic. Alterations in the oral cavity are lichenoid reticular lesions, erythema, ulcerations, and xerostomia. Sporadically, mucocele and pyogenic granulomas can be present. Aim: To describe GVHD oral manifestations in eight allogenic BMT patients, and discuss GVHD and drug-immunosuppresion associated lesions diagnosis and treatment. Study design: For a year, we examined the oral mucosa of eight consecutive allogenic BMT patients attending the Dermatology outpatient…
Uso de las coronas telescópicas en el tratamiento de un paciente adulto con fisura labiopalatina: Puesta al día de la etiología y el tratamiento
2006
La fisura labiopalatina es una de las malformaciones congénitas craneofaciales más importantes a tener en cuenta por el odontólogo general debido a su alta incidencia y a su elevada repercusión en la cavidad oral. Sus causas se deben a factores genéticos y predominantemente a factores ambientales, haciendo su aparición ya en el período embrionario. El sexo masculino se encuentra más afectado, en una relación de 7:3. La asociación más frecuente es el labio leporino unilateral total con fisura palatina, que es el caso que nos atañe. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 20 años que acude a nuestra consulta demandando una solución estética a su situación dental. El tratamiento efectuado al pacien…

Synovial Cysts of the Temporomandibular Joint: An Immunohistochemical Characterization and Literature Review
2013
Synovial cysts of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are very rare, and to date, only 12 cases of a synovial cyst in the TMJ region have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we present the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of one such lesion affecting a 48-year-old woman, presented with a mass in the left preauricular region. We describe the usefulness of immunohistochemical analysis for recognizing the synovial lining, which allowed for clear differentiation between ganglion and synovial cysts. Immunohistochemical analyses can be used to diagnose synovial cysts with certainty; however, using at least two markers is advisable to distinguish the two existi…
