The influence of text messages and anxiety on pain perception and its impact on...
Mendonça,Daniela Lasmar de; Almeida-Pedrin,Renata Rodrigues; Pereira,Nayara Caldas; Oltramari,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Fernandes,Thaís Maria FreireABSTRACT Objective: This prospective study aimed at assessing the effects of anxiety and a follow-up text message on pain perception after the installation of fixed orthodontic appliances and its impact on the patients’ routine. Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 103 orthodontic patients, 40 males and 63 females (mean age 20.5 years), distributed in two groups: G1 (n=51), including control patients ...
Influence of the presence of Temporomandibular Disorders on postural balance in...
Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Yoshie,Marjorie Takei; Silva,Rubens Alexandre da; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro Ferreira; Navarro,Ricardo de LimaABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the influence of the presence of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) on postural balance in elderly individuals. Methods The study sample consisted of 150 elderly: 103 women (67.7±5.0 years) and 47 men (69.3±5.5 years). Evaluation of the presence and severity of TMD included an anamnesis questionnaire, an evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and a muscular examination, ...
Evaluation of facial attractiveness in black people according to the subjective...
Melo,Andréa Reis de; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro Ferreira; Almeida-Pedrin,Renata Rodrigues; Didier,Victor; Valarelli,Danilo PinelliABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the facial attractiveness in 30 black individuals, according to the Subjective Facial Analysis criteria. Methods: Frontal and profile view photographs of 30 black individuals were evaluated for facial attractiveness and classified as esthetically unpleasant, acceptable, or pleasant by 50 evaluators: the 30 individuals from the sample, 10 orthodonti...
Pressure pain threshold and pain perception in temporomandibular disorder patie...
Stuginski-Barbosa,Juliana; Silva,Rafael Santos; Cunha,Carolina Ortigosa; Bonjardim,Leonardo Rigoldi; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro FerreiraBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Physical evaluation of temporomandibular disorder patients commonly includes evaluation of pain response to muscular and articular palpation and there is a considerable uncertainty of how self-reported pain intensity relates to Pressure Pain Threshold obtained in an algometry exam. The present study aimed at determining whether pain intensity is associated to Pressure Pain Threshold i...
Dentoalveolar mandibular changes with self-ligating versus conventional bracket...
Almeida,Marcio Rodrigues de; Futagami,Cristina; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro Ferreira; Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Navarro,Ricardo de LimaOBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare dentoalveolar changes in mandibular arch, regarding transversal measures and buccal bone thickness, in patients undergoing the initial phase of orthodontic treatment with self-ligating or conventional bracket systems. METHODS: A sample of 25 patients requiring orthodontic treatment was assessed based on the bracket type. Group 1 comprised 13 patients bonded...
Signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorders in the elderly
Camacho,José Gustavo Dala Déa; Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Navarro,Ricardo de Lima; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro FerreiraPurpose: This study investigated the prevalence of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in the elderly and its association with palpation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory and cervical muscles as well as the presence of headache and joint noises. Methods: The sample consisted of 200 elderly of both genders (mean age: 69.2±5.7 years). The clinical evaluation of TMD signs and symptoms was divided int...
Early Treatment Protocol for Skeletal Class III Malocclusion
Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Almeida,Renato Rodrigues de; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro Ferreira; Navarro,Ricardo de LimaSkeletal Class III malocclusion, with its unpredictable and unfavorable nature, has been characterized by a growth pattern with doubtful prognosis regarding orthodontic mechanics, even when performed early. For a long time, Class III malocclusion was regarded as a synonym of mandibular prognathism, regardless of the affected skeletal structures. Mandibular growth, essentially determined by genetic factors, coul...
Reliability of a method to conduct upper airway analysis in cone-beam computed ...
Souza,Karen Regina Siqueira de; Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Navarro,Ricardo de Lima; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro FerreiraThe aim of this study was to assess the reliability of a method to measure the following upper airway dimensions: total volume (TV), the nasopharyngeal narrowest areas (NNA), and the oropharyngeal narrowest areas (ONA). The sample consisted of 60 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, evaluated by two observers twice, using the Dolphin 3D software (Dolphin Imaging & Management solutions, Chatsworth, Ca...
Bilateral asymptomatic fibrous-ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint associa...
Cunha,Carolina Ortigosa; Pinto,Lívia Maria Sales; Mendonça,Luana Menezes de; Saldanha,Aline Dantas Diógenes; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro FerreiraThe American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP) defines ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as a restriction of movements due to intracapsular fibrous adhesions, fibrous changes in capsular ligaments (fibrous-ankylosis) and osseous mass formation resulting in the fusion of the articular components (osseous-ankylosis). The clinical features of the fibrous-ankylosis are severely limited mouth-opening cap...
Posterior crossbite - treatment and stability
Almeida,Renato Rodrigues de; Almeida,Marcio Rodrigues de; Oltramari-Navarro,Paula Vanessa Pedron; Conti,Ana Cláudia de Castro FerreiraPosterior crossbite is defined as an inadequate transversal relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth. Even when eliminating the etiologic factors, this malocclusion does not have a spontaneous correction, and should be treated with maxillary expansion as early as possible. This treatment aims at providing a better tooth/skeletal relationship, thereby improving masticatory function, and establishing a symm...
