https://estomatologia.univalle.edu.co/index.php/revista_estomatologia/article/view/12854
<p><em>Orofacial neuropathic pain happens due to somatosensory nervous system injury or disease in the orofacial region. Multiple types of orofacial neuropathic pain have been identified, including nonodontogenic neuropathic orofacial pain, postherpetic neuralgia, atypical odontalgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia. Currently, pharmacological intervention is well known as the foundation for managing neuropathic pain. Drugs from different classifications, including anticonvulsants, antidepressants, opioids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are generally used to treat these events. However, these drugs are not yet broadly accepted for these treatments. This review will explore recent clinical findings and fragments of evidence regarding anticonvulsants and antidepressants in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.</em></p>Andres Felipe Aguirre Osorio

Materials and Methods: A CAD model of the TD Orthodontics brand mini-implant, with a diameter of 1.3 mm and 8 mm length, was created. Afterwards, the characteristics of the materials to be evaluated (steel or titanium alloy) were assigned. A three-dimensional figure was created with two components that simulate the thickness and characteristics of cortical and trabecular bone (2 mm width of cortical bone and 18 mm depth of trabecular bone). The SolidWorks software was used to mesh the mini-implant and bone models and to perform the finite element analysis on the mini-implants with insertion angles of 30°, 60°, 90° and a simulated orthodontic retraction force of 2 N was applied on each of these finite element models. Results: In terms of the maximum von Mises stress in the different angles evaluated, it seems that there is no significant difference between the stainless steel mini-implants and the titanium mini-implants in the three angles evaluated. In terms of displacement, the titanium mini-implants in general suffered greater displacement in the three angles evaluated compared to the stainless steel mini-implants. Conclusion: Regardless of the angles, the difference in the generated stress and deformation in the stainless steel mini-implants and the titanium mini-implants under a retraction force of 2 N does not seem to be significant. Therefore, the insertion angle of the mini-implants seems to play a primary role in the amount of stress and deformation generated in the attachments used.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-4 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="w-full h-48 flex-shrink-0"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="absolute bottom-0 left-0 w-full border-t md:border-t-0 dark:border-white/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:bg-vert-light-gradient bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 md:!bg-transparent dark:md:bg-vert-dark-gradient"><form class="stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 pt-2 last:mb-2 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-3xl lg:pt-6"> <div class="relative flex h-full flex-1 md:flex-col"> <div class="ml-1 mt-1.5 md:w-full md:m-auto md:flex md:mb-2 gap-2 justify-center"> </div> </div> </form></div>Ana Gabriela Magaña LamasMarco Felipe Salas OrozcoAlan Martínez ZumaránNorma Verónica Zavala Alonso Oscar Sánchez-Armass Cappello Gylmar Mariel Cárdenas Enrique González García

https://estomatologia.univalle.edu.co/index.php/revista_estomatologia/article/view/13035
<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: the objective of this study was to compare 3 methods of crimping orthodontic hooks with 2 different types of force using tiebacks or elastomeric chains.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: 100 crimped hooks, 100 dotted hooks and 100 hooks with a V stop bending on the archwire, divided into 6 groups were put to detachment test in a universal machine SHIMADZU 5000 applying force by means of tiebacks and elastomeric chains, for the use of the machine an accessory base and arm was designed to keep the test stable and standardized. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prims 8 for Windows. Significance was predetermined at a =0.05. The Shapiro–Wilk test was used to test the data for normality. The data were not normally distributed and therefore the Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine differences between groups, followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons test.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The maximum forces obtained for the detachment of an orthodontic hook was up to 2.87kg which was recorded by the group of dotted hooks and with force applied with elastomeric chain and the one with the lowest force was 0.87kg with hooks only crimped. The tie backs showed a more controlled force in all groups and the groups with a “V stop” bend also showed the most stable tests and none displacement of the hook but more eviction and break of the hooks.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: In the study it was determined that the crimping method is not sufficient for the stability of the hook so pointing it or performing a V stop bend on the wire increases its stability before the maximum force of detachment and clinically gives advantages in the dental movement although it increases the consultation or laboratory time for its realization.</p>Marco Felipe Salas OrozcoXimena Perez ZarateNorma Veronica Zavala AlonsoAlan Martinez ZumaranLucia Catalina Rodriguez GonzalezMartin Ulises Gutierrez MartinezDiana Leyva Del Rio
