The problems of correcting deep bites are outlined and the advantages and usage of the upper utility wire are described with special reference to some case reports. High pull headgear direct to the arch Wire allows an orthopaedic force to be added if required, in addition to opposing the extrusive force vector applied by the torqueing mechanics. Treatment may be commenced with only two molars and four incisors banded and the edgewise system allows the incisor roots to be kept away from palatal and buccal plates during intrusion. This prevents the root resorption described recently when incisors roots have been allowed to contact the cortical plates of bone during movement. Use of Cobalt—Nickel—Chrome* wire and pre-torqued brackets allows the application of a light physiological force acting over a long period and this reduces patient visits. Overbite correction is achieved by true incisor intrusion and not by molar extrusion.

Two cases exhibiting upper incisor apical root resorption when using purely tipping movements with a fixed appliance technique are reported. Possible causes of resorption are discussed, but no definite factor was apparent in these cases.

This article addresses diagnostic parameters that should be assessed in the treatment of extraction sockets with dental implant placement by presenting three case reports that emphasize the relevance of the amount of remaining bone walls. Diagnosis was based on the analysis of clinical and radiographic parameters (e.g.: bone defect morphology, remaining bone volume, presence of infections on the receptor site). Case 1 presents a 5-wall defect in the maxillary right central incisor region with severe root resorption, which was treated with immediate implant placement. Cases 2 and 3 present, respectively, two- and three-wall bone defects that did not have indication for immediate implants. These cases were first submitted to a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure with bone graft biomaterial and membrane barriers, and the implants were installed in a second surgical procedure. The analysis of the preoperative periodontal condition of the adjacent teeth and bone defect morphology is extremely important because these factors determine the choice between immediate implant or GBR treatment followed by implant installation in a subsequent intervention.

<em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> is a rapidly growing mycobacterium, first described in 1999 as a member of the group <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> (<em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em>, <em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> and <em>Mycobacterium goodii</em>). Only 19 case reports all over the world have been described on literature, none of them in Brazil. On this report, it is described one case of infection after a mammoplasty procedure performed in a private health service in the county of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2009. The mycobacteria specie was identified using biochemical tests and sequencing the specific gene <em>rpoB</em>. To treat the infection by <em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> it was necessary to combine antibiotics for a long period of time associated with surgical procedures of the breast abscesses.

AbstractThere have been infrequent case reports of bilateral root resorption in the lower second molar secondary from impacted third molar removal with bone regeneration without pain. Root resorption is commonly observed during third molar surgical impaction that affects mandibular second molars. The bone regeneration into the adjacent affected tooth is evident simply after the surgical extraction of the impacted tooth. However, there have been a few previous reports on the prognosis of the remaining resorbed tooth. Most dentists often choose to extract them when damaged if root resorption is observed. This report case involved bilateral root resorption of the lower second molar due to lower adjacent impacted third molar teeth and bone regeneration without pain sensation. After surgical extraction of bilateral lower impacted third molar teeth, the remaining teeth retained vital pulp and survived as functional teeth.

Objectives: Due to the low prevalence of localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP), clinical characteristics of LAP in primary dentition are derived from a few case reports/series in the literature. The goal of this study was to determine common clinical characteristics such as bone and root resorption patterns, in a series of cases with LAP in primary dentition. We hypothesize these cases present aggressive periodontal bone destruction starting mostly around first primary molars and atypical root resorption patterns. Study Design: We have evaluated 33 LAP cases in primary dentition for pattern of bone destruction, root resorption and early exfoliation. Results: Cases evaluated were aged 5–12 (mean=8.7 years). Thirty cases presented more severe bone loss on first than second molars, with relatively fast progression to second molars, altered pattern of root resorption, mostly external (n=16) and early exfoliation of primary teeth due to periodontal bone loss, rather than physiologic root resorption (n=11). Conclusions: This study showed common clinical characteristics found in LAP in primary molars, including possible initiation on first primary molars and abnormal root resorption patterns. These characteristics are important to be early identified and treated in order to prevent possible progression into the permanent dentition.

Although the prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders among patients with cerebrovascular illness is relatively high, there are only few case reports describing post-stroke psychotic symptoms. In general, post-stroke psychoses have been reported to emerge few days after the vascular event and to vanish soon afterwards. In this report, we describe delayed-onset post-stroke delusional disorder, persecutory type. A middle-aged female patient developed a persistent delusional disorder with homicidal behavior about one year after a cerebrovascular accident affecting the right fronto-temporo-parietal region and a long period of chronic post-stroke mixed anxiety and depressive symptoms. Our case suggests that there might be long intervals between stroke and the appearance of psychotic symptoms.
