Moderate to high counts of pathogenic/nonpathogenic species were detected in the inner parts of implants from all groups. The lowest values of microbial counts were recorded for polytetrafluoroethylene tape associated with composite resin or gutta-percha; cotton pellet associated with light-polymerized provisional composite presented the highest microbial counts.

The frontal sinuses are potential evidences for human identification because of the inherent distinctiveness of their morphology. Over the last decades, several techniques emerged to enable the visualization and analysis of the frontal sinuses via bi- and three-dimensional imaging. This systematic review aimed to compile different methodological approaches found in the scientific literature to contribute to human identification. Three examiners revisited the scientific literature in order to find imaging techniques for the visualization of the frontal sinuses applied to human identification. The standard search strings built-up from a PICO question identified 404 unique articles in the following databases Medline/Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs and Scielo. Based on eligibility criteria applied during title, abstract and full-text reading, the sample reduced to 19 articles. The articles were published between 1987 and 2019 by research groups from 10 different countries. Computed tomography was used in 37% of the techniques, while the remaining (63%) techniques used skull radiographs. The techniques were highly heterogeneous and varied between metric analysis, direct image superimposition and morphology code-based systems. The authors considered their techniques useful for human identification and reported accuracy rates from 13 to 100%. Most of the studies revealed low risk of bias. More advantages were related with the techniques based on direct image superimpositions and three-dimensional visualization. Forensic experts must be aware of the use of frontal sinuses for human identification, especially when three-dimensional images are available as ante-mortem and post-mortem evidences for superimposition and comparison.

Introdução: a responsabilidade civil está baseada na obrigação em reparar os danos causados e, no caso da Odontologia, tal demanda pode ocorrer na relação profissional-paciente. O número de ações movidas contra cirurgiões-dentistas vem crescendo, denotando a importância de conhecer tal realidade nas mais diferentes regiões do Brasil. Objetivo :realizar um levantamento das ações judiciais envolvendo questionamento de tratamentos odontológicos com enfoque na responsabilidade civil e analisar suas características, no município do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brasil, entre os anos 2010 e 2017. Metodologia: a pesquisa foi realizada por meio de busca online no site do Tribunal da Justiça do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de listagem pública com os nomes dos cirurgiões-dentistas inscritos no município. Resultados: frente aos 15.749 profissionais regularmente inscritos no município, foram encontrados 141 processos, dos quais 90 puderam ser analisados. 42,22% dos processos ainda estavam em andamento, e 57,77% concluídos. Conclusão: analisando as características de cada processo, concluiuse que o número de processos contra cirurgiões-dentistas aumentou nos últimos anos, envolvendo principalmente as áreas de Implantodontia, Prótese Dentária, Endodontia e Cirurgia, e com resultados em que predominantemente o cirurgião-dentista teve que indenizar a parte ré.
