Important Structure

The lingual brake is an important structure for the musculoskeletal growth of the baby's jaws, inuencing the act of sucking, speaking and feeding. There is an alteration called ankyloglossia (Ankylos: Linked and Glossa: Tongue), dened as a congenital malformation that alters mobility and lingual function. Brake change occurs when a portion of the tissue that should have suffered apoptosis during embryonic development remains on the underside of the tongue, restricting its movement. The lingual brake is formed by a connective tissue rich in elastic bers, lined with nonkeratinized stratied paved epithelium, containing adipose cells, muscle bers and blood vessels. Any anatomical or functional brake deciency can have an impact on functions based on their severity. Its diagnosis is not difcult, as it is very visible and can be done through the "Tongue Test". Surgical removal of the brake is necessary when it causes gingival retraction, diastema, hindering orthodontic, speech therapist, prosthetic and aesthetic treatment. It is advisable to wait for the individual's growth process, especially between 6 months and 6 years of life. The treatment performed for this anomaly is the frenectomy, which consists in the complete removal of the brake insert. The objective of the present study was to conduct a research that evaluated the lingual brake of children, and the need for surgical treatment at the pediatric dentistry clinic at Amazon Faculty - IAES through a questionnaire. It was a cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study, which evaluated the lingual brake of children. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using the statistical data program. The software used for data analysis was Epi Info version 7.2.2.6 for windows. It was concluded that of the 50 lingual brakes evaluated, 14% presented alteration, with a preference for females. It was clear the need for an early diagnosis, besides the need for a multidisciplinary team

Objective. To determine anxiety in relation to gender, Grade Point Average (GPA), level of education and academic and clinical situations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Also, to identify academic and clinical anxiety levels among postgraduate pediatric dentistry students. Methods. A cross-sectional study at governmental training hospitals was conducted. All registered postgraduate students in pediatric dental programs during the year 2015-2016 were included in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed electronically to 60 postgraduate pediatric dentistry students aged between 25 and 45 years old. The questionnaire is composed of 55 questions that investigated demographic data, academic and clinical related situations including investigations, diagnosis, treatment, and complications in treatment. Results. The study showed a higher anxiety level in younger age dental students (76.7% compared to 23.3%) and Saudi board residents (60%). Comparing gender differences in anxiety revealed that a significant difference (P≤0.05) was found and anxiety seems to be more among female dental students (2% very anxious, 64% slightly anxious, and 34% not anxious) as compared to male dental students (8% very anxious, 69% slightly anxious, and 23% not anxious). Conclusions. There was increased awareness, detailed understanding, and handling of the patients by senior postgraduate pediatric dentistry students compared to junior students.

Abstract The last couple of decades has seen an increasing interest in molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) studies. Hypomineralized defects can have several consequences such as hypersensitivity, increased dental plaque accumulation, and consequently higher caries risk. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MIH and its association with dental caries in schoolchildren from a city in southern Brazil. A random cluster sample of schoolchildren was selected. Clinical examinations were carried out to collect information on MIH (following the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria), dental caries (using the DMF-T index) and gingivitis. Socioeconomic, demographic and behavior variables were collected using a standardized questionnaire answered by the children’s parents/caregivers. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated using Poisson regression analysis with robust variance through a hierarchical approach (p<0.05). A total of 513 schoolchildren were included in the study. MIH and caries prevalence was 19.7% and 31.6%, respectively. The mean age was 11.6 (+1.9) years. Dental caries was more prevalent in children with MIH (PR 1.39; 95% CI 1.05 - 1.85). Older children and children whose families were enrolled in conditional cash transference programs (PR 1.97 95% CI 1.47 - 2.64), and children who did not have their mother or father as the head of the family (PR 1.56 95% CI 1.06 - 2.30) presented a higher prevalence of dental caries. Our findings suggest that children with MIH are more likely to have dental caries.

1. Rat plantaris muscles were subjected to chronic overload by the surgical removal of the soleus and most of the gastrocnemius muscles. Twelve to 16 wk later whole muscle and motor unit (ventral root dissection technique) contractile properties as well as histochemistry were determined. 2. Motor units were categorized as fast, fatigable (FF), fast, intermediate fatigue-resistant (FI), fast, fatigue-resistant (FR), and slow (S) based on contractile characteristics. Muscle fibers were identified as type I and type II according to myofibrillar ATPase staining. 3. Whole muscles demonstrated increases in wet weight, tetanic force, proportion of type I fibers, and mean cross-sectional areas of both type I and II fibers, as a result of chronic overload. 4. Tetanic tension increased by the same relative magnitude in all motor units whereas twitch tension remained unchanged. A significant change in the proportions of the motor unit types occurred in overloaded muscles, such that the latter contained higher proportions of FF and S units, and lower proportions of FI and FR units, than normal muscles. 5. The fatigue profile of a composite constructed from a summation of motor unit responses revealed that the overloaded plantaris displayed fatigue resistance similar to that of the normal plantaris for a given absolute force output. 6. Glycogen-depleted fibers of hypertrophied single motor units demonstrated uniform myofibrillar ATPase and SDH staining characteristics suggesting that metabolic adaptations among fibers of the same unit were similar after 12-16 wk of overload. 7. The finding that overload caused a uniform increase in the tetanic strength of all motor units, whereas alterations in fatigue resistance varied in degree and direction among unit types, demonstrate that these two properties are not controlled in parallel in this model. The smallest units maintain or even increase their fatigue resistance during the hypertrophic process, whereas high threshold units actually decrease in fatigue resistance.

The surgical removal of split skin grafts (SSGs) leads to superficial wounds that can be covered with different wound dressings. Currently, international guidelines that recommend a standard treatment of the donor sites are not yet established. We developed a questionnaire to evaluate the treatment of SSG donor sites and sent it to all dermatological departments in Germany. Altogether 78 of the 115 contacted departments in Germany participated in our cross-sectional trial. Our analysis reveals that multiple wound dressings with different frequencies of replacement are used. On an average, complete reepithelialization of the donor site takes 14-21 days. Foams and coated gauzes are used in 73% of all surgical procedures for postsurgical treatment of SSG donor sites. Still, neither a significant faster reepithelialization nor a lower rate of wound healing disorders can be assigned to any of the wound dressings. The results of our study indicate that a large number of wound care products and treatment strategies are currently applied on SSG donor sites in dermatological departments in Germany. The selection of the wound dressing is not based on scientific data but rather on the experience of individual experts.

Background: No two people have exactly the same fingerprints. Even identical twins, with identical DNA, have different fingerprints. This uniqueness allows fingerprints to be used in all sort of ways, including background checks, biometric security, mass disaster identification, and of course, in criminal situations. This scientific examination of fingerprints for identification purposes is known as dactylography. Aim: To prove the uniqueness and study various pattern of fingerprint in an individual. Objectives: 1) To study pattern of fingerprints for identification of an individual, 2) To study different types of fingerprints and keep statistical data of loops, whorls, arches and compound/composite in a group of individual, and  3) To study different methods of fingerprinting in an individual. Methodology: The study was conducted among individuals under the age group of 25-40 years, including 50 males and 50 females. The study was conducted based on Henry Galton method. The fingerprints were taken by means of an ink pad on a blank sheet; a magnifying glass was used for clarity of the finger impressions. Result: There are 4 types of fingerprints namely loops-52.16%, whorls-34.99%, composite-10.04% and arches-2.81%. Conclusion: On this basis uniqueness of fingerprints was proved. Fingerprints are considered as secondary evidence in the court of law, even though it is used as a primary and the most basic source of identification of an individual. Also according to our study the percentage of types of fingerprints varied.

The proper management of endometrial polyps still represents a clinical ongoing challenge, especially when they are asymptomatic and occasionally discovered. The aim of this study was to evaluate liquid-based endometrial cytology to manage endometrial polyps in postmenopausal age by its ability to exclude hidden premalignant and malignant changes within polyps. Three hundred fifty-nine consecutive postmenopausal patients who underwent hysteroscopic diagnosis of endometrial polyp over a 3-year period and who were scheduled for surgical removal within the three subsequent months were retrospectively evaluated. Histologic results after resection during operative hysteroscopy or during hysterectomy were compared with liquid-based cytology and endometrial biopsy obtained at the time of diagnostic hysteroscopy. Eight of 359 patients (2.2%) had malignant or premalignant polyps interpreted as benign finding at hysteroscopy. Unsatisfactory samples were higher for endometrial biopsy compared to liquid-based cytology in the whole series and in the subgroup of low-risk asymptomatic patients (P< 0.001). Endometrial biopsy and liquid-based cytology revealed a sensitivity of 62% and 87.5%, respectively and a 100% specificity. Considering the subgroup of low-risk asymptomatic patients, liquid-based cytology disclosed all the five pathologic lesions with a 100% sensitivity and specificity. In conclusion, liquid-based cytology proved to be a useful tool to establish the nature of endometrial polyps in postmenopausal patients. Complete removal of the lesion should be offered to all symptomatic patients and those with established risk factors for endometrial cancer. Conversely, a wait and see attitude should be considered in case of asymptomatic low-risk polyps with typical appearance on hysteroscopy and negative liquid-based cytology.

ABSTRACT Introduction Awareness of gender- or nationality-driven preconceptions can help dentists to have a better interpretation of the dentist-patient relationship. It is even more noteworthy to understand these predilections in Saudi society, where women and men are usually segregated due to religion- and culturebased considerations. This study is one of the first to explore the preferences of patients when selecting a dentist with respect to gender and nationality in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods A total of 445 community residents residing in Riyadh were randomly selected for a cross-sectional study. The participants completed a survey designed to assess which of two factors (gender and/or nationality) were perceived as most relevant in choosing a dentist. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Female participants did not show any preference for the gender of the dentist, whereas 40% of the male participants preferred a male dentist. Participants also favored male dentists in the fields of oral surgery (78.9%), implants (74.1%), endodontics (67.5%), orthodontics (65.8%) and prosthodontics (64.2%). An exception was noted in pediatric dentistry, for which female dentists were favored by 52.8% of the participants. Additionally, most (66.1%) participants did not have any preference for the nationality of the dentist. Conclusion Riyadh residents showed a general preference for a male dentist but demonstrated no preference for nationality when selecting a dentist.
