Este artigo propõe-se a apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre métodos de avaliação de desempenho clínico e a desenvolver um protocolo para ser aplicado nas disciplinas do curso de Odontologia da UFMG. O Protocolo de Avaliação Clínica (PAC) foi elaborado a partir do Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) e do Structured Clinical Operative Test (SCOT), métodos de avaliação mais encontrados na literatura, com a finalidade de realizar uma avaliação objetiva do aprendizado do aluno em pontos relacionados a anamnese, diagnóstico, plano de tratamento, controle de infecção, técnicas, habilidade, comunicação e profissionalismo. A autoavaliação realizada pelos alunos também faz parte desse protocolo, sendo interessante para se diagnosticarem pontos fracos e virtudes dos estudantes. O PAC pode ser uma alternativa aos métodos convencionais de avaliação, reduzindo a subjet...

Comparou-se os valores encontrados em medicoes diretas de crânios secos (n = 17) com as imagens obtidas nestas duas tecnicas radiograficas. Verificou-se que as ortopantomografias apresentaram uma ligeira superioridade em relacao as telerradiografias, em virtude da facilidade de visualizacao de todo contorno mandibular e a ausencia de distorcoes significantes nesta regiao da radiografia (AU)

Three photographs were taken and manipulated to simulate gingival overgrowth to perform a numeric correlation of change in gingival volume. The proposed method is easy, noninvasive, and provides rich data for statistical analysis or clinical classification of the gingival condition.

Within this context, the development of the newborn is usually compromised due to low weight gain.1, 2 The treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate is surgery, which commonly occurs in the sixth month of life.3

Equidade como forma de equilíbrio na distribuição de recursos foi o que impulsionou a criação do FMP. Este trabalho tem como objetivo, divulgar o FMP e demonstrar as experiências e resultados de sua implementação. Como método de pesquisa foi realizado um levantamento nos documentos do Centro de Extensão (CENEX) da FO/UFMG que continham informações sobre a criação do FMP, seu arcabouço legal e o processo de sua disponibilização. Os dados que serão divulgados foram extraídos do site da Fundação de Desenvolvimento da Pesquisa. Além disso, foi aplicado um questionário d...

This paper presents the case of a 2-year-old boy who suffered multiple avulsions of the maxillary anterior teeth. Treatment consisted of fixed orthodontic appliances with artificial anterior teeth. The clinical follow-up lasted for three years. The procedure for the re-establishment of esthetic and dental function was based on a simple, low-cost therapeutic solution. The child and parents were satisfied with the treatment results.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of nasoalveolar model (NAM) as a pre-operative therapy in a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate followed by labioplasty and palatoplasty. A 15-day-old patient underwent orthopedic treatment with NAM. After pre-operative treatment, retraction of the pre-maxilla was observed with reduction of the fissure. Due to the successful effects of NAM treatment the patient had a one-step surgery for lip correction. Six months later, due to lip pressure the fissure was further decreased. After six months, the patient underwent palatoplasty. Both surgeries contributed to the remaining closure of the fissure, which were reduced by half compared to the end of pre-operative treatment. The uses of NAM as a pre-operative treatment approached the alveolar segments, centralized the ...

Objective: To compare the accuracy of virtual and conventional direct bonding of orthodontic accessories. Methods: A single virtual configuration (dental mannequin with Class I malocclusion) served as basis for generating the reference model (treated virtually) and the intervention models (10 digital models and 10 solid models, obtained by means of prototyping). A total of 560 teeth were then equally distributed between a group of orthodontists (Group I, direct bonding; and Group II, virtual bonding), working in two different time intervals. The individual positions of the accessories were measured after three-dimensional superimposition with customized software. The Student’s-t test for paired samples, and Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis, both at the level of significance of 5%. Results: In comparison of the errors in raw values, there were significant di...

Relato de Caso: descreve a reabilitação iniciada em abril / 2015 em um menino de oito anos de idade com DMC e histórico familiar da doença. Tendo em vista o grande número de casos relatando a difícil adaptação de próteses removíveis em crianças, a reabilitação oral desse paciente foi planejada com base na fabricação de próteses apoiadas em mini-implantes ortodônticos. Conclusão: esta abordagem alternativa facilita o uso e adaptação de próteses, promove a preservação do osso alveolar e melhora as condições funcionais, estéticas e psicossociais do paciente. Deve haver acompanhamento clínico anual radiográfico e trimestral até o final do estirão de crescimento, para reavaliação e renovação das próteses sempre que necessário, de acordo com a crista alveolar.

Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil Participants: Adolescents aged 10–17 years. Methods: Forty-six adolescents participated in this study. Adolescents’ OHRQoL was evaluated using the Brazilian version of the questionnaire Impact of Fixed Appliances Measure. This questionnaire comprises 43 questions distributed across nine domains: aesthetics; functional limitation; dietary impact; oral hygiene impact; maintenance impact; physical impact; social impact; time constraints; and travel/cost/inconvenience implications. The answer options follow the Likert scale, in the range of 1–5. A higher score indicates a more negative impact on the OHRQoL. Adolescents’ malocclusion...

Material and Methods: A total of 305 specialists participated in a telephone survey and answered an ad hoc 10item questionnaire, including the request of total skull cone-beam tomographies (CBCT) and the use of 3D digital planning software, the best moment of treatment to place dental implants, and the integration of orthodontics in implantology. Results: Most participants did not request CBCT (90.8%) or 3D digital planning software images (92.3%) to diagnose and plan multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation. By contrast, 91.1% of participants would use an already dental implant as anchorage for orthodontics, 73.8% had already used implants for this purpose, 47.9% selected 4 months as the waiting time between implant placement and its use as anchorage, and 58.4% had already placed dental implants having in mind using them as anchorage for orthodontics and anticipating the oral rehabilitation process. Moreover, 93.4% of participants stated to avoid applying orthodontic forces in implants with unfavourable prognosis. A total of 67.9% of participants got the degree of specialist in Orthodontics before that of specialist in Implantology. The main reason for obtaining the other specialty degree was to be able to thoroughly exercise the two specialties.

CBCT images of 33 subjects with UCLP were evaluated according to gap, arch, nasal, and dental parameters (GAND classification). Additionally, these defects were segmented and the amount of graft needed for alveolar bone grafting was estimated. The reproducibility of GAND classification was analyzed by weighted kappa test. The association of volume assessment with the classification (gap and nasal parameters) was verified using analysis of variance, while the intra-observer agreement was analyzed using the intra-class correlation coefficient. The intra-observer reproducibility of the classification ranged from 0.29 to 0.92 and the inter-observer agreement ranged f...
