Introduction: The National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC), of the Ministry of Health, inserts the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicine in the Unified Health System (SUS) and was the recognized practice of herbal medicine by the dentist regulated in 2008. by the Federal Council of Dentistry. However, for dentistry, this therapeutic option is still little used. Objectives: The aim of this study was to review and systematize data from the scientific literature on products of plant origin indicated for dentistry, contributing to promote their use by dentists. Methodology: The Medline and BIREME indexing bases on the theme of phytotherapics in dentistry were searched. 230 articles were found and 15 were selected, based on the impact factor of the publications. Conclusions: The difficulties of the use of Phytotherapy in the clinical routine are related to several aspects, such as the lack of qualification of professionals, difficulty of access to phytotherapeutic plants, cost, among others. KEY WORDS: Medicinal Plants; Drug; Herbal Medicines; Oral Health.
A alimentação rápida demonstrou aumentar o risco de excesso de peso em crianças e adultos. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram investigar a correlação entre a taxa de mastigação e o número de mastigações por bocado e avaliar se elas estavam associadas ao peso da ingestão de refeições. Trinta indivíduos saudáveis, com idades entre 18 e 24 anos, fizeram um almoço de teste em sua velocidade habitual até sentirem-se saciados. As atividades dos músculos masseter e supra-hióideo foram registradas para determinar o número de mastigações e o momento da deglutição. O peso da ingestão de refeições foi registrado juntamente com o índice de massa corporal (IMC), taxa de mastigação, número de mastigações por bocado, duração da refeição, taxa de ingestão, fome e níveis de preferência alimentar. O peso médio (± DP) da ingestão de refeições, taxa de mastigação e número de mastigações por bocado foram 261,4 ± 78,9 g, 94,4 ± 13,5 mastigações mín.-1 , 19,2 ± 6,4 mastiga por bocado, respectivamente. A taxa de mastigação não se correlacionou com o número de mastigações por bocado. A regressão linear multivariável mostrou que a ingestão de refeições foi significativamente associada positivamente à taxa de mastigação, duração da refeição e IMC, mas inversamente associada ao número de mastigações por bocado ( R 2 ajustado = 0,42). Concluiu-se que o número de mastigações não estava associado à taxa de mastigação, mas a ingestão de refeições foi explicada tanto pelo número reduzido de mastigações quanto pelo aumento da taxa de mastigação.
Introduction: Maintenance is a fundamental phase of the therapy and prevention of periodontal diseases. The objectives of this review are: a) To determine what are the aspects of maintenance periodontal therapy; b) know the value of maintenance on the long-term results of periodontal treatment; c) review the risk factors of the patient, the tooth and the location; d) establish a protocol of action in the different situations. Material, methods and results: To carry out this work, 46 scientific articles have been analyzed. The MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were used for the search. Discussion:The goals of maintenance therapy are to prevent the initiation and recurrence of periodontal diseases. Regardless of the type of treatment we perform, the clinical parameters will not improve if maintenance by the professional is not carried out. To establish the intervals for the appointments and the locations to be treated, it will be essential to assess the risk factors associated with the patient, the tooth and the location.
