Abstract: |
The evolution of ear measurement techniques for the manufacture of earmolds and hearing aids is clearly marked by the abandonment of the previous silicone injection systems inside the ear canal, to give way to new measurement technologies with laser scanning. The otoscan are non-invasive and clean systems with no risk of damage to the tympanic membrane due to silicone. In addition, it allows a digital visualization on the screen through the "preview", to check if the sizes and spaces are wide enough or not in the subsequent manufacture. Other than manufacturers' publications, there are few independent articles by professional audiologists who use the devices. For this reason, our audiology work team publishes an update summary every year with the experiences and learning we have had and a review of what has been published in previous years.This year's report addresses topics such as the pediatric cannula and the legal framework, use on a stretcher, protection from strobe light, the technician's work position, its use in Anaplastology, full pinna scanning, and use of mannequins/heads in training. In addition, a final reference is also made to the indications of Natus on the importance of preventing professional risk and the relationship with the investment of the equipment. |

Abstract: |
Background: The eruption of teeth, chronologies of human dentition, dental age and tooth formation standards are important aspects applied to dental practice. Body mass index (BMI) on the other hand, gives an indication of the nutritional status of a child. Therefore, it is relevant to know if BMI influenced tooth eruption patterns of permanent first and second molars. We will determine the age of eruption of the first and second permanent molars and compare with the body mass index in a group of children from selected schools. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 644 children aged 3 to 15 years. They were classified in Five body mass index groups. Their weights were measured with a standard scale unit in Kilogram. Height was measured with a standiometer graduated in centimeters. The BMI was calculated by dividing the weight (Kg) by the square of the height (m) to obtain a value expressed in Kilogram per square meter (Kg/m2). Values of BMI were correlated with that of the CDC growth chart for be able to tell if the child is underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. The intraoral examination was made using a mirror. The independent t-test allowed the comparison between ages rash averages. Results: Of 644 children, 357 (55.4%) were girls with a ratio woman: man of 1.2. The minimum eruption age for the boys was 3 years old, the age maximum 15 years old with average age of (M=5.75±1.212) for the first molar, M=12.30±0.921 for the second molar The minimum and maximum age for girls was respectively 3 and 14 years with an average age of eruption and SD (standard deviation) M = 6.08 ± 0.973 for the first molar and M=12.18±0.804 for the second molar. The average ages were 5.6 years for the first permanent molar and 11.9 years for the second permanent molar with an interval of 95% confidence. The average ages of the first and second permanent molars have was statistically significant (p=0.00) with body mass index Conclusion: Girls had and earlier eruption time. The mean age of eruption was 5.6years for the first permanent molars and 11.9 years for the second. We found influence of BMI on eruption of permanent first and second molars. |

Abstract: |
The cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows a high precision evaluation of the morphology and possible variations of the condyle and guvguu anatomical structures previous to orthodontic/surgical treatment. The objective of this study is v report an unusual case of the right bifid mandibular condyle and the elongated of the right styloid process associated with the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament usingCBCT imaging technology. It is important for orthodontists and maxilofacial surgeons to be aware regarding the identification of these anatomical variabilities to determine diagnostic criterias of possible pathological processes such as temporomandibular joint disorder. |
