Dental trauma is very common, especially in children and adolescents. Tooth avulsion (exarticulation), which is a result of complete rupture of periodontal ligaments is one of the most severe dental injuries. The treatment of choice in avulsion of permanent teeth is reimplantation. Survival of reimplanted teeth depends greatly on the time and conditions in which teeth were stored outside the oral cavity. This report presents a case of 18-year old male with avulsion of central maxillary incisors. The teeth were reimplanted 14 hours after injury. During 8-year follow up no major complications occurred and the teeth still maintain their function, although signs of mild replacement resorption are visible on the follow-up radiographs.

The presence of supernumerary teethis an anomaly, characterized by increased numbers of normal teeth in the oral cavity. Synodontia or fusion is another alteration of development, that is a germ teeth fusion, resulting  in the union of two units of teeth. These two alterations, being associated, may result in a lack of space in the arch during the permanent teeth growth, occasioning a probable crowding of teeth. As the protocol, in this case – like lots of other ones – clinic and x-ray exams becomes necessary to get an appropriate diagnosis, in an attempt to mitigate or eliminate a possible future disorder. This paper aims to report a clinic case that presents these two anomalies existing on anunic patient, and to describe the conservative surgical techniques to their treatment.

Background: The use of tobacco may affect the human oral microbiome resulting in numerous diseases including cancer. There are more than 1.3 billion tobacco smokers worldwide with 4.5 million adult Nigerians addressed as tobacco addicts. Tobacco smoking causes oral cancer, color change on the teeth, halitosis, periodontitis and other health implications. Aim: The study was aimed at determining the changes caused by tobacco smoking on the oral microbiome of cigarette smokers and the shift toward organisms that may cause oral cancer and lung diseases. Methods: One hundred and twenty subjects made of 60 tobacco smokers and 60 nonsmokers were enrolled for the study. Oral swabs were collected from the oral cavity of the subjects using sterile swab sticks under standard aseptic methods. The specimens were subjected to microscopy and culture. Organisms were identified using standard microbiological techniques. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 26.9 ± 3.4 years, with minimum age 18.0 years. There was a higher rate of bacterial colonization 86.7% among smokers than nonsmokers (χ2 = 299.0, P = 0.0002). Most members of the oral biofilm belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae with Klebsiella pneumoniae being the most prevalent isolate among smokers while Pseudomonas aeruginosa 4 (20.0%) were the most prevalent bacterial isolates among the control subjects. Tooth decay 19 (36.5%) was the oral cavity disorder among smokers associated with the highest number of isolates, followed by halitosis 18 (34.6%) and mouth ulcer 7 (13.4%). Halitosis was mostly associated with Candida species 5 (71.4%). There was a statistically significant association between oral cavity conditions and microbial isolates among smokers (χ2 = 299.0, P = 0.002). Conclusion: Smoking may have altered bacterial acquisition and oral mucosal colonization in favor of periodontal pathogens. This study have shown that smoking predisposes to oral cavity diseases which may predispose to oral cancer or lung diseases. The campaign against smoking should therefore be intensified as this may help to improve the oral health of smokers.

Horizontal Root Fracture

Dental trauma resulting in root fracture is a rare condition that affects up to 7% of permanent teeth, and injury to immature teeth is even rarer. This case report aimed to show the prognosis of a horizontal root-fractured immature maxillary incisor traumatized at the time of eruption. Because of an accident, a 6-year-old boy was referred to our clinic with horizontal root fracture of the permanent maxillary left central incisor associated with an extrusive luxation. The coronal segment was repositioned, and a dental splint was applied for 7 weeks. After 48 months, clinical examination revealed a positive response to electrical pulp testing and an absence color change of the tooth. Continuation of root development and calcification of the coronal pulp space was observed radiographically. It was concluded that fixation of teeth is a conservative treatment for immature teeth with horizontal root fractures, resulting in the pulp vitality and spontaneous healing with no other treatment.   How to cite this article: Erkmen Almaz M, Şaroğlu Sönmez I, Akbay Oba A.

AIMS: To verify the profile of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of patients assisted in a Psychosocial Care Center.METHODS: An epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design was carried out in a Psychosocial Care Center of a municipality in the Northwest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. All patients assisted in the Center, aged over 18 years, of both genders, were included. Those for whom information about treatment was missing were excluded. Data collection was performed by direct access to medical records regarding sociodemographic characteristics, information on diagnosis, previous hospital admissions, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Chi-square test and the significance level was set at p<0.05.RESULTS: A total of 448 patients were included, whose mean age was 48.25±12.44 years, 293 (65.4%) were female, 266 (59.2%) lived without a partner and 206 (46.0%) had incomplete elementary education. All patients were receiving non-pharmacological treatment and 445 (99.3%) were also taking medications. Among the classes of drugs used, antipsychotics (78.3%) and antidepressants (71.2%) predominated. Using of four or more drugs was associated with previous hospitalization and with taking antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiepileptics and anxiolytics.CONCLUSIONS: A sociodemographic profile similar to that of users of Psychosocial Care Centers in different Brazilian regions was found. All patients received non-pharmacological treatment and almost all also used drugs. In view of the high number of medications and hospital admissions identified, there is a need to expand the scope of non-pharmacological therapies in the treatment of mental disorders, in order to promote the comprehensiveness and the resolubility of mental health care.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the profile of medicine usage in a Psychosocial Support Center type II (PSC), in the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes-PE, Brazil. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The information obtained for the study came from the analysis of medical records of patients admitted to the institution from January to August 2015. A total of 157 medical records were analyzed, observing to sociodemographic, clinical and medication use variables. Results: There was a predominance of female patients, 57.25% (male 42.75%). Most of the participants were single, with incomplete elementary education, aged between 30-39 years. Most of them had previously been admitted to psychiatric hospitals. From the total number of users who reached the PSC, 60.5% were referred by the Psychosocial Care Network. The most frequent diagnoses, according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), were: schizophrenia, schizotypic disorders and delusional disorders (F20 to F29), and affective mood disorders (F30-F39). It was found that 99.4% of patients used at least 1 medication, which was used twice daily (59.6%). The most prescribed class of drugs was the antipsychotics, mainly chlorpromazine, haloperidol and risperidone. From the total prescribed drugs, 83.3% were in accordance with the Brazilian Common Denomination 85% of them were present in the municipal list of essential drugs and 97% were administered orally. Conclusion: The results found in this study were satisfactory. Thus, it was possible to verify that the medicines are great allies in the psychosocial treatment, presenting as a widely-used resource.
