This systematic review aimed to study the survival time of the virus from the coronavidae family on various materials and surfaces, thus enabling the adoption of preventive measures mainly in public environments. The electronic databases selected as a source of information were PubMed/Medline, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Web of Science,...
Objective: Functional disorders in individuals with cleft lip and palate (CL/P) can compromise structures of the stomatognathic system, which is one of the causes of orofacial pain in this group of patients. Numerous mechanisms of orofacial pain, particularly painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD-P), may be related to these conditions and have the potential to be the cause of diffuse. So, the objective of re...
Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness and longevity of the botulinum toxin in the treatment of individuals with excessive gingival exposure. Methods: The search was adapted to six electronic databases and gray literature. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Non-Randomized and Randomized Studies of Interventio...
Aim: The aim of this study will be to perform respiratory physiotherapy on patients with sleep bruxism and associated respiratory events (apnea and hypopnea). Methodology: The study will be a randomized, controlled, doubleblind, clinical trial with a sample of individuals with sleep bruxism and associated respiratory events. Respiratory (inspiratory and/or expiratory) physiotherapy will be performed using the T...
Objectives: The impairment of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles has a negative impact on functions of the stomatognathic system, such as swallowing. Thus, an atypical swallowing pattern may contribute to the development of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The aim of the present study was to evaluate acoustic aspects of swallowing and determine the occurrence of atypical swallowing dynamics. M...
Purpose: This systematic review sought to answer the following focused question: “What are the effects of respiratory training devices on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) outcomes in adults?” Methods: The acronym “PICOS” was used to determine eligibility criteria, which consists of (P population) = adults with mild to moderate OSA, (I intervention) = spirometry devices or breathing exercises, (C comparison) = comp...
Background: The aim of this research is to verify whether there is evidence in the literature regarding the decrease in viral load present in saliva after using three types of mouthwashes. Material and Methods: Clinical and/or in vitro experimental studies that have used mouthwashes as a form of intervention to reduce the viral load in saliva were included. Combinations of words and appropriate truncations were...
