O tratamento endodôntico de dentes permanentes jovens com rizogênese incompleta é uma das grandes dificuldades encontradas pelos cirurgiões-dentistas, devido ao fato dos ápices estarem abertos com paredes dentinárias finas e divergentes. A apicificação induz a formação de uma barreira calcificada que pode determinar o completo ou incompleto desenvolvimento radicular. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de descrever um caso clínico de dente portador de lesão periapical portador de ápice aberto. A terapêutica realizada foi conduzida para desenvolver uma barreira com MTA. Dessa forma, a desinfecção do sistema de canais radiculares foi realizada com limas da terceira série e como medicação intracanal utilizou-se o Ultracal. Após 15 dias foi realizada a barreira com MTA, e após 24 horas realizou-se a obturação do canal com a confecção de cones rolados. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a terapêutica dentro das normas técnicas determina o sucesso do tratamento de dentes portadores de rizogênese incompleta.
Purpose: This article aims to conduct a literature review about the impact that biofilm accumulation on different types of dental materials can cause on oral health, according to its characteristics. Methods: Original articles about the accumulation of biofilm on the surface of different restorative and rehabilitative dental materials and their repercussions on oral health were gathered in journals in the PubMed and Lilacs databases using the search terms "Biofilm", "Dentistry", "Dental materials", through the logical operator "AND". An individual analysis of the articles that contemplated this study´s subject was performed. Results: As a result of the search, 439 articles were found, 416 from Pubmed and 23 from Lilacs, however only 23 studies (Pubmed: 20 and Lilacs: 3) were selected for content analysis. The majority of the selected articles discussed dental biofilm formation in the different restorative and rehabilitative dental materials and how their characteristics interfere in this accumulation. Final considerations: Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation are strongly influenced by the surface characteristics of dental materials, such as their chemical compositions, surface roughness and surface free energy, what can lead to negative repercussions to the individual´s oral health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
