When lesions in soft tissue reach the gingival margin, they can produce aesthetic defects during its permanence and after its removal. Periodontal plastic surgery allows the correction of the gingival contour using different techniques. This paper is a case report of a peripheral ossifying fibroma removal in the interproximal area of teeth 21 and 22 in addition to root coverage of the affected area through two surgical phases: keratinized gingival tissue augmentation surgery with free gingival graft concurrent with removal of the lesion and, in a second stage, root coverage by performing coronally advanced flap technique with a follow-up of five years. The initial results achieved, which were root coverage of 100% after 6 months, promoted an adequate gingival contour and prevented the development of a mucogingival defect or a root exposure with its functional and aesthetic consequences. After five years, the results showed long term success of the techniques, where the margin remained stable with complete root coverage and tissues were stable and harmonic in color.

BackgroundTo evaluate oral health in postmenopausal women and verify whether there is a correlation between tooth loss according to index of decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and bone mineral density (BMD).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 women. The DMFT and its associations with lumbar and femoral BMD (T-score and g/cm2) were assessed. Analysis of covariance and multiple logistic regression were applied and the mean and standard deviation, absolute and relative frequencies (percentages) were obtained.ResultsThe analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed significant association between the DMFT index and bone mass (T-score), compared to the young adult in L2-L4 (P = 0.0252) and in bone mass in L2-L4 (below average) in g/cm2 and in the DMFT index (P = 0.0332), and for women with bone mass below the average index DMFT was higher. Between L2-L4 below average (g/cm2) and extracted component (P = 0.0483) association was also significant because women with bone mass below the average had a greater extracted component.ConclusionsPostmenopausal women with poor oral health may present reduced bone mass. There was significant association between BMD and DMFT at the L2-L4 site. Women must be advised that their good oral health, amount and quality of bone mass should also be matters of concern.KeywordsBone mineral density; Post-menopausal; Osteoporosis; Tooth loss

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis, as well as hygiene care around implants and the correlation between keratinized gingiva and probing depth around implants. Methods RESUMOObjetivo O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de mucosite, bem como os cuidados de higiene bucal ao redor de implantes e a correlação entre a faixa de gengiva queratinizado e a profundidade de sondagem nos implantes. MétodosForam avaliados 107 implantes dentários de 24 pacientes em atendimento na Faculdade de Odontologia São Leopoldo Mandic. Os implantes foram avaliados em relação à presença de sangramento, tecido queratinizado e tempo de instalação dos implantes. Além disso, foram obtidos dos voluntários, os dados demográficos, bem como informações sobre os cuidados e métodos de higienização utilizados na região dos implantes. ResultadosA prevalência de mucosite foi de 81,31% dos implantes. A média de porcentagem de sangramento obtida foi de 29,91%. Dos 107 implantes, em 52,34% havia presença de tecido queratinizado. Quanto ao uso de métodos auxiliares para controle de biofilme, 43% dos pacientes utilizavam fio dental, 26,71% utilizavam escova interdental e 20,56% utilizavam escova unitufo. Foi observada apenas uma fraca correlação negativa entre sangramento marginal e presença de tecido queratinizado (p< 0,001, r= -0,27). ConclusãoPode-se observar uma alta prevalência de mucosite ao redor dos implantes, o que evidencia a necessidade de uma maior conscientização dos profissionais quanto à orientação de higiene bucal e incentivo à promoção de saúde em pacientes que recebem reabilitação com implantes dentais, bem como mais estudos investigando o real papel do tecido queratinizado ao redor dos implantes.Termos de indexação: Implantação dentária.
