The rehabilitation gone to be successfully when besides the planning, the dentist orientate hygiene habits to the patient, and proserve the case. The present paper evaluates hygiene habits and RPD planning among a sample of RPD wearers, in a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was applied and a clinical examination was performed by two previously calibrated examiners. The sample was composed by 83 patients, and 25 were males. It was verified that 49.4% of the patients brush their teeth three times per day and that 28.9% took approximately 4 minutes for each teeth brushing, 95.2% use other hygiene resources, besides toothbrushing, as dental cream (98.7%), dental floss (79.7%) and mouthrinses (55.7%). However 56.6% showed bacterial plaque and 21.7% presented caries at clinical exam. About the dentures, 74.7% was definitive RPD and 96.4% showed bilateral design. The requisites of stability, retention, occlusion and aesthetics was classified as good, in the majority of the cases; the hygiene was classified as good to regular. In 24% of the dentures, the base was deformed or fractured, 50.6% presented artificial teeth with detritions. Instead of patients' adequate oral hygiene habits and satisfaction with RPD, more comprehensive explanations about oral care and more frequent follow-ups should be considered to improve plaque index and periodontal health among RPD wearers.

Prosthetic status was recorded in clinical examinations, and TMD was determined by applying the Helkimo index. Self-perception of oral health was evaluated based on the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The most prevalent prosthetic status was edentulous using complete dentures (47.5%). Absence of subjective TMD symptoms was found in 69.5%, and of clinical TMD signs in 38.3% of the population. The average GOHAI score was 33.02 +/- 2.85. A correlation was found between prosthetic status and TMD subjective symptoms (P = 0.017), but prosthetic status and TMD objective signs were uncorrelated (P = 0.061). Prosthetic status and self-perception of oral health were positively correlated (P = 0.001).

Aim: This study evaluated the immediate efficacy of low-level laser therapy on women reporting pain and diagnosed with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Methods: Diode laser (GaAlAs) at 790 nm wavelength (infrared spectrum) was applied as experimental treatment. Irradiations of 1.5 J/cm² were made at 4 points of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and of 3 J/cm² at 3 points in the temporal muscle. An electromyographic (EMG) evaluation of the masseter and anterior temporal was done at the following intervals: before, immediately after, 5 min and 20 min after laser application. Results: Comparison of the electrical activity at the times of measurement revealed a statistically significant difference in masseter muscles before (P=0.025) and immediately after (P=0.013) LLLT. Conclusions: Both masseter and temporal muscles showed a reduction in the measured EMG activities at all times after LLLT, and the temporal muscle showed higher EMG activity than the masseter muscle at all the evaluation times. LLLT caused significant immediate relaxation of the masseter muscles.

Sixty-four patients rated their expectations for aesthetic and functional results of complete denture therapy on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS), using scores from 0 (worst results) to 10 (best results). A similar questionnaire was used regarding satisfaction after final denture adjustments. Patients also answered a locus of control questionnaire in the initial interview. ANOVA and a chi-squared test were used to test for correlations among ratings, patient gender and locus of control profiles. The significance level adopted was 0.05. The expectation ratings before treatment were significantly lower than the post-treatment completion ratings, both for aesthetics (P < 0.001) and function (P = 0.004). There was no correlation between locus of control profiles and patients' ratings or between gender and VAS scores. No correlation was found between locus of control profiles and scores for expectations before and satisfaction after complete dentures.

This paper evaluates the incidence of SB in children from Itanhandu, MG, Brazil. The presence of teeth wear facets was verified through clinical examinations on a sample of children, whose parents answered a questionnaire about their children&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s behavior and habits.

The sample comprised of 170 children, 51.76% (n = 88) of which were girls, while the average age was 4.37 (±1.69) years. A total of 15.29% (n = 26) had been diagnosed as bruxers, 46.47% displayed restless behavior, and only 10% used medication. The average duration of breastfeeding was 4.4 (±0.25) months. A positive correlation was found between restless behavior and the presence of SB (p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.001). No correlation was found between SB and medication (p = 0.573), or between the duration of breastfeeding and restless behavior (p = 0.102), SB (p = 0.565) and medication (p = 0.794). Restless behavior was positively correlated with SB, although no correlation was found between SB and medication or duration of breastfeeding.
