Background and Objectives: Tactile sensibility is an important characteristic for evaluating the masticatory efficiency in different occlusal situations. When a tooth is extracted, relevant proprioceptors from the periodontal ligament get lost; and after the rehabilitation of this abscess by means of oral prosthesis, this sensibility decreases influencing masticatory function. Osseoperception is a sensitive phenomenon associated with dental implants that allows an increased tactile sensibility to those wearing implant prostheses. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in tactile sensibility values between implant prosthesis, complete dentures, and natural teeth through a review of the available literature. Materials and Methods. In order to dissect the information, 24 articles from 2004 to 2021 were analyzed from MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and Web of Science databases. These articles were directly related to measuring tactile sensibility in different situations and demonstrating the influence of osseoperception in an improved masticatory function. Results: Tactile sensibility in implant prosthesis is slightly reduced compared with natural dentition but presents improved values with regard to complete dentures. Conclusions: Implant prosthesis are more effective during masticatory function than complete dentures, as they present an increased tactile sensibility, very similar to that present in natural dentition. This enhanced sensibility in implants is due to the osseoperception phenomenon.

This study aimed to assess the masticatory efficiency in patients with a removable dental prosthesis, presenting different systemic, oral and prosthetic states while chewing different foods. The study was conducted on a convenient sample of patients aged 45 and above, with removable prostheses in at least one jaw. Patients were asked to chew samples of digestive biscuits, apple, and carrot, until the sensation of swallowing. The recorded masticatory function parameters were: chewing time, the number of mastication cycles, mean masticatory cycle duration, and chewing frequency. We found out that the masticatory functional parameters registered statistically significant differences according to the chewed food (e.g., generally the highest values were recorded for carrot and lowest for apple), most likely this being in relation to food’s consistency, wetting, and adherence. High positive correlations were found between the chewing time and the number of mastication cycles for all three foods taken into consideration. Higher values for chewing time and number of mastication cycles were found for all foods in patients with complete dentures and overdentures, and while chewing carrot in patients with altered general status and of advanced age. Therefore, it that it takes a different time and number of mastication cycles to complete chewing, in relation to individual and food characteristics, to the systemic, oral and prosthetic patient’s status. The residual teeth number and the type of prosthetic rehabilitation favor the adaptation and improvement of masticatory parameters and can have marker value for masticatory efficiency.

ABSTRACT Treatment of partially edentulous patients with few remaining teeth is very challenging. These cases can be successfully treated with natural teeth supported overdentures. Comprehensive treatment plan with natural teeth supported overdentures saves the proprioceptive response of the teeth, along with other benefits such as improved masticatory efficiency, better retention, stability, support as compared to conventional tissue supported complete dentures. The other most important benefit of overdentures is the psychological security of well retaining dentures which increases patient's confidence level. This article presents a case report in which a partially edentulous patient was successfully rehabilitated with comprehensive treatment of maxillary natural teeth supported overdenture with locator attachment (Zest Anchors) and mandibular partial denture.

UNSTRUCTURED We read with great interest the study by Grammes et al. on research output and international cooperation among countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is a quantitative study using scientometric analysis instead of a qualitative research using citation analysis. A total of 7,185 publications were extracted from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) with keywords of “covid19 OR covid-19 OR sarscov2 OR sars-cov-2” as of July 4, 2020. We replicated a citation analysis study to extract abstracts from Pubmed Central(PMC) with similar keywords mentioned above and obtained 35,421 articles relevant to COVID-10 matching their corresponding number of citation in PMC. one hundred top-cited atricles were selected and compared on diagrams. Social network analysis combined with citation numbers in articles was performed to analyze international cooperation among countries. The results were shown on a world map instead of the circle diagram in the previous study. A Sankey diagram was applied to highlight entities(e.g., countries, article types, medical subject headings, and journals) with the most citations. Authors from Chian dominated citations in these 100 top-cited articles rather than the US in publications addressed in the previous study. Both visual representations of the world map and Sankey diagram were provided to readers with a better understanding of the research output and international cooperation among countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

Resumo A apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) é um dos distúrbios do sono mais frequentes, associada ao risco aumentado para obesidade, hipertensão e evento cardiovascular. O presente estudo buscou investigar a prevalência da AOS em trabalhadores de turno. Foi realizada a revisão sistemática da literatura, utilizando-se os descritores “sleep apnea” AND “shift work”, nas bases de dados do PubMed Central, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Web of Science e Scopus, incluindo-se artigos que apresentaram a frequência da AOS em trabalhadores de turno, publicados entre 2004 e 2014, em inglês, português ou espanhol, apenas com seres humanos, maiores de 18 anos, utilizando polissonografia. Artigos de revisão ou com participantes com comorbidades prévias (exceto sobrepeso/obesidade), tratados para doença do sono ou gestantes foram excluídos. Dos 1.428 artigos identificados, quatro foram incluídos para análise, totalizando 819 participantes, com predomínio do sexo masculino. A prevalência da AOS em trabalhadores de turno variou de 14,3% a 38,1%, superior à estimada para a população geral, sugerindo associação importante com o trabalho de turno e a necessidade de prevenção, diagnóstico e intervenção sobre possíveis impactos negativos da escala de trabalho na saúde desses trabalhadores.

Venomous Animals

<p><em>The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins,</em> criado em 1995 no Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP) da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), São Paulo, Brasil, foi a primeira revista digital brasileira. Em 1998 foi selecionada para integrar a base SciELO (<em>Scientific Electronic Library Online</em>), e em 2003, para se tornar mais abrangente, as Doenças Tropicais foram incluídas no seu escopo. Denominou-se então <em>The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases.</em> Em 2006 foi selecionada para integrar duas Bases internacionais estratégicas: a <em>Web of Science</em> da <em>Clarivate Analytics</em>, que publica anualmente o Fator de Impacto, e a <em>Scopus</em> da <em>Elsevier</em>, que publica o <em>Cites per Doc</em> e o <em>CiteScore</em>. Como estes índices se estabilizaram até 2012 entre 0.30 e 0.50, o Conselho Editorial decidiu estabelecer parceria com a <em>BioMed Central Springer-Nature</em>, um <em>publisher</em> comercial de acesso aberto e de renome internacional. Houve, nesta ocasião, uma reestruturação importante do periódico, incluindo a publicação em fluxo contínuo e a indexação no <em>PubMed Central</em>, com vistas à melhoria da qualidade e do aumento das métricas. Em 2018 o Fator de Impacto alcança o valor de 2.935, o <em>Cites per Doc</em> o de 2.973 e o <em>CiteScore</em> de 2.630. Em seis anos os indicadores tiveram um incremento substancial, ou seja, de 0.5 para 2.9. Tendo em vista os elevados investimentos necessários para renovação do contrato de parceria, e por tratar-se de uma publicação acadêmica e não-comercial, o corpo editorial decidiu manter o acesso aberto e tentar a sustentabilidade financeira do periódico a médio prazo, trazendo a publicação de volta ao Brasil a partir de 2019. A equipe SciELO acolheu a corajosa iniciativa e tornou-se o novo parceiro neste desafio. As estratégias adotadas na transição estão descritas em detalhes no “relato de experiência”.</p>
