Considering the difficulty of recording intraoral data of edentulous children in dentistry, the Rank Diagram of the oral health of the baby was created and designed to meet this need. The present study aimed to verify registrations performed from 2012 to 2015, and also to understand the degree of examiner satisfaction. The research was carried out in two stages: 1) a cohort study with 138 charts completed during the intraoral examinations of children 0-36 months of age (2012-2015); 2) the degree of satisfaction of the Diagram v. 9, n.esp, ago/dez. 2017 UnirG, Gurupi, TO, Brasil was verified by 33 examiners submitted to 6 months of filling out in 2016. The most frequent changes in the soft tissues were ankyloglossia (10.9%) and inclusion cysts (8.7%); as for the hard tissues, it was caries (8.6%) and enamel fracture (5.0%). The examiners verified the Rank Diagram as satisfactory (89%), but the chi-square test showed significance in the dissatisfaction of the recording site of the observations in the Diagram (p <0.0001 and χ2 = 59). The Rank Diagram allowed for the registration of the intraoral changes from the birth of the child until 3 years of age. The datasheet adapted to the quarterly program was preliminarily well evaluated in several aspects, but requires some adjustments to improve the recording space of the intraoral observations.

The treatment for pain relief is mainly focus on using antinociceptive drugs. However, the current collection isn't enough and many have side effects and adverse reactions that precludes their chronic use. Based on this problem, the article's aims to evaluate a supposed antinociceptive effect of Morinda citrifolia L in rats using hot plate assays (HPA) observing the latency time (LT) in the following groups: control (C); ethanolic pulp extract (EPE) and pulp extract (PE), in natura, both of noni; ascorbic acid (AA); diazepam (D); morphine (M) and association diazepam-morphine (DM). In the post-30 min experiments with EPE and PE, there was a partial increase in TL with EPE equal to that observed after 20 min with PE. In t 30 to 40 min, there was moderate tolerance to the thermal stimulus with PE that declined after 40 min, showing an antinociceptive tendency. The AA group showed a nociceptive effect at 30 and at 40 min it showed a similar effect to the PE at the same time, indicating a moderate antinociceptive action. The results suggest a tendency that both EPE and PE have antinociceptive effects, although not significant, when compared to C, with PE having this effect a little more pronunced.
