The reflex response of the masseter muscle to the rapid unloading of a single maxillary incisor tooth was studied. Unloading of a static force of 2 N in the horizontal direction resulted in a short-latency excitation, inhibition, and long-latency excitation of masseter muscle activity occurring at latencies of approximately 13, 20, and 40 ms, respectively, with a corresponding change in bite force occurring slightly later in each case. Following the blocking of periodontal input by the injection of local anesthetic around the stimulated tooth, inhibitory responses were abolished. Therefore, it is concluded that the observed masseteric inhibition was caused by the unloading of periodontal mechanoreceptors and thus that these receptors may contribute to the jaw unloading reflex.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of magnification and superimposition of structures on CBCT-generated lateral cephalometric radiographs (LCR) using different segments of the cranium. METHODS: CBCT scans of 10 patients were selected. Four LCR were generated using Dolphin Imaging(r) software: full-face, right side, left side and center of the head. A total of 40 images were imported into Radiocef Studio 2(r), and the angles of the most common cephalometric analyses were traced by the same observer twice and within a 10-day interval. Statistical analyses included intraexaminer agreement and comparison between methods by means of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman agreement tests. RESULTS: Intraexaminer agreement of the angles assessed by ICC was excellent (> 0.90) for 83% of measurements, good (between 0.75 and 0.90) for 15%, and moderate (between 0.50 and 0.75) for 2% of measurements. The comparison between methods by ICC was excellent for 68% of measurements, good for 26%, and moderate for 6%. Variables presenting wider confidence intervals (> 6o) in the Bland-Altman tests, in intraexaminer assessment, were: mandibular incisor angle, maxillary incisor angle, and occlusal plane angle. And in comparison methods the variables with wider confidence interval were: mandibular incisor, maxillary incisor, GoGn, occlusal plane angle, Frankfort horizontal plane (FHP), and CoA. CONCLUSION: Superimposition of structures seemed to influence the results more than magnification, and neither one of them significantly influenced the measurements. Considerable individual variability may occur, especially for mandibular and maxillary incisors, FHP and occlusal plane.

Background: Autotransplantation is a surgical movement to reposition teeththat have been erupted, partially erupted or not yet erupted from one place to another in the same individual, either on post-extraction sockets or artifcial sockets made by surgery. Dental folicle from impacted teeth may develope dentigerous cysts that will result in destruction of the jaw bone. There are many factors that influence the success of autotransplantation, one of which is adequate bone support.The purpose of this poster is to present the successful autotransplantation treatment of impacted right maxillary incisor teeth associated with dentigerous cyst and bone support replacement after cyst enucleation using a carbonate apatite collagen graft, GAMACHA®, at RSUP Dr. Sardjito.Case management: A 9-year-old girl, referred to the Oral and MaxillofacialSurgery Department of RSUP Dr. Sardjito with the complaint of right deciduous maxillary incisor persistence. Radiological examination showing persistent of 51 and 52 radices and impaction of teeth 11 and 12 in a horizontal position above radix 53. Also visible radiolucent image with a frm limit around the crown of 11 that supports the image of cyst. This patient performed cyst enucleation under general anesthesia, removal of impacted 11 and 21, followed by an artifcial socket drilling at the alveolar bone that could support all aspects of the root wall although only on the apical part of the tooth root for teeth 11 and 12 placement. Autotransplantation of teeth11 and 12 followed by the application of GAMACHA® and wire fxation, strengthen with acrylic splint.Conclusion: Two years follow up after surgery, patient have no complaintseither from aesthetic or functional and the result of clinical and radiologicalexamination did not found existence of any pathological abnormalities around teeth 11 and 12.

Female rats weighing about 200 g each were separated into normoxic and hypoxic groups. The former were maintained at sea-level conditions. The hypoxic groups were placed in an altitude chamber and maintained at the equivalent of 1850 m, 4100 m, or 7100 m over a period of two weeks. Hematocrit, body weight, body length, and impeded eruption rate were recorded once a week. Food intake was recorded every day. Exposure to 1850 m did not significantly alter hematocrit, body weight and body length gains, food intake, and impeded eruption rate. Nevertheless, exposure to 4100 m and 7100 m decreased body weight and body length gains, food intake, and impeded eruption rate, and increased hematocrit value. These parameters varied as a function of altitude. In spite of the lack of conclusive evidence, this work affords further insight into the particular significance of polycythemia on the eruption rate.
