Post-surgical pain is a direct consequence of the surgical event, being closely related to inflammation after treatment, both manifesting itself in parallel. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been considered the analgesic therapy of choice. Objective: To compare the analgesic effectiveness of ibuprofen against meloxicam after surgical intervention to remove the lower third molar. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients were assigned to the two treatment groups: 15 from to ibuprofen group and 15 to the meloxicam group. The first dose was administered at the end of the surgery and the necessary tablets were given to complete the 3-day drug treatment regimen, as well as 1 sublingual ketorolac tablet as rescue medication. Postoperative pain reduction was evaluated making phone calls to evaluate pain by using the numerical scale of pain at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days postoperatively. Results: Meloxicam is more effective over time, showing stable analgesic levels and less pain than the ones in ibuprofen group. However, its maximum effect takes longer, which explains that some patients required rescue medication in the first postoperative hours. Conclusions: Due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect, we can consider meloxicam as a good alternative in postoperative pharmacological treatment. It is suggested the use of some other drug that achieves pharmacological synergy to optimize results or to use meloxicam based on preventive analgesia models.
La sonrisa está completamente relacionada con la belleza facial. La etiología de la sonrisa gingival puede ser hereditaria, esquelética o de naturaleza adquirida, Bhola y cols. proponen una clasificación de las cinco etiologías principales de la sonrisa gingival las cuales son: Erupción pasiva alterada (EPA), exceso óseo maxilar (EOM), condiciones que causan agrandamiento gingival, longitud de los labios deficiente y movilidad excesiva del labio maxilar. Normalmente el labio superior tiene un movimiento de entre 6 a 8 mm al momento de sonreír, cuando sobrepasa estas medidas, basándonos en el labio en reposo a máxima sonrisa, se considera que existe hipermovilidad labial. OBJETIVO: Solucionar el problema de sonrisa gingival en el paciente. El tratamiento fue realizado en la maestría en ciencias odontológicas con acentuación en Periodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila Unidad Torreón, México. METODOLOGÍA: De acuerdo con el plan de tratamiento periodontal, se le realizó Fase I de higiene bucal, dentro de la Fase II se realizó una cirugía resectiva de alargamiento estético abarcando desde el primer premolar superior derecho al primer premolar superior izquierdo y una cirugía de reposicionamiento labial. RESULTADOS: El resultado fue favorable disminuyendo considerablemente la sonrisa gingival del paciente. CONCLUSIÓN: Sería importante poder evaluar el seguimiento con más muestras de pacientes para observar el porcentaje de tiempo sin recidivas y así comprobar la efectividad de dicha técnica.
Objetivo: El objetivo de este reporte de caso es utilizar la matriz dérmica acelular como alternativa para el cubrimiento radicular mediante el desplazado coronal. Material y métodos: Paciente de sexo femenino de 53 años de edad que acude a la Maestría de Periodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología en la Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, Unidad Torreón con motivo de consulta: “se me bajó la encía y traigo mucha sensibilidad”. En el examen clínico se observan recesiones gingivales clase I de Miller en los OD 13, 11, 21 y 33, así como agenesia de incisivos laterales (12 y 22), se realiza la cirugía utilizando una matriz dérmica acelular para minimizar la incomodidad y dolor postoperatorios. Resultados: El uso de una matriz dérmica acelular ayuda a obtener resultados en cuanto a cobertura radicular similares a los del injerto de tejido conectivo autólogo en el manejo de recesiones múltiples de clase I de Miller, minimizando las molestias postoperatorias del paciente. Palabras clave: matriz dérmica acelular, colgajo desplazado coronalmente, cobertura radicular. DeCS [Internet]. ed. 2017.

Guided Bone Regeneration through the use of a membrane has been a Gold standard to obtain the best results, in turn, being a sensitive technique whose main complication is its exposure and infection by pathogenic periodontium bacteria. Objective: To observe the antimicrobial effect of topical chitosan-metronidazole on Porphyromona gingivalis. Materials and Methods: Topical Chitosan-Metronidazole was prepared with which it is antimicrobial sensitivity was observed in the crop medium of Müller-Hinton agar with the well diffusion method after having applied 50 microliters of P. gingivalis, 8mm was extracted with a punch and filled with chitosanmetronidazole, the inhibitory halo was analyzed to obtain results. Results: The inhibitory halo was observed and measured in the two samples which is 20 mm for both, obtaining a sensitive result. Conclusion: Topical chitosan-metronidazole was shown to have a good effect on P. gingivalis.
The mesiobuccal root of the upper molars usually presents anatomical complexities that limit the correct cleaning and shaping. This results in treatments with a high incidence of failure, which is why knowledge of the internal anatomy is essential. The presence of three main canals in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molars is infrequent, which can make root canal treatment difficult. A clinical case of a maxillary left first molar with three mesiobuccal canals is presented here.
