Vissupplementation is a minimally invasive and simple technique that replaces synovial fluid with intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a kind of treatment suitable for treating temporomandibular joint (TMD) diseases, such as osteoarthritis and disc displacement, with or without reduction. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the use of viscossuplementation in the treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunctions. Material and Methods: The literature, for this, was searched in PubMed and Scielo databases, from 2009 to 2019, using "Viscosuplementation", "Hyaluronic Acid", "Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunctions" and "Osteoarthritis". Exclusion criteria were those that tested on animals and were not related to the subject. Seven selected layouts. Results: From the reading of the studies, it is believed that hyaluronic acid is beneficial in reducing pain levels, improving the patient's quality of life and mandibular function, even being superior to placebo. However, there are still studies that point out the differences in relation to this technique, due to the question of the molecular weight of HA, the number of sessions performed. Conclusion: Therefore, the patients with temporomandibular joint disorders may improve their clinical setting with a viscossupplementation function, however, greater product standardization and new research studies are needed.
Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo é realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre a utilização dos modelos disponíveis no mercado, abordando questões com estudos já existentes, mostrando os diversos modelos disponíveis, pensando também sua na eficiência e custo benefício. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma busca de artigos nas bases de dados PubMed e Scielo, usando os descritores: simulation-based surgical training, maxillofacial e surgery, sem restringir o idioma. Foram excluídos os artigos que não apresentaram clareza na metodologia e que não se adequavam à temática pesquisada. Resultados: Após a leitura dos resumos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão resultou na seleção de sete artigos para revisão. Os estudos comprovam a eficiência satisfatória dos modelos descritos. Considerações finais: Os modelos facilitam o treinamento nas técnicas cirúrgicas, o que posteriormente pode reduzir o tempo de operação e levar a uma melhor execução das habilidades na realidade.
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.
