Concluiu-se que o grupo de idosos apresentou-se mais satisfeito com seu sorriso e por consequência, a estética dental apresentou um impacto menor sobre seu convívio social atual.

Children had been evaluated with fluorosis by collecting data of the former history as the use of fluorides, the use of vitamin supplements, frequency of toohbrushing and ingestion of fluorinated dentifrices. Interviews were made with parents of 50 children who had fluorosis and 50 without fluorosis. Of the children examined 44% had fluorosis grade 2 (as Index of Dean). Of this total, 88% are natural from Presidente Prudente. According to the report of parents, 56% of children with fluorosis made use of polivitaminics, whereas 18% used Kalyamon B12. According to the intake of fluorinated dentifrices was established that 52% do not ingest dentifricies during toohbrushing and that ingest began after 1 year old. We conclude that the intake of products containing fluoride, the use of fluorinated dentifrices and the fluoride present in drinking water, may be leading to consumption above the recommended, being fundamental importance the supervision and guidance of the use of this to minimize the risk of fluorosis. The use of vitamin supplements containing fluoride is linked to the emergence of fluorosis.

Visando diminuir os inconvenientes da tradicional remoção da cárie, foi desenvolvido o método de remoção química e mecânica da cárie através de um gel que amolece a dentina infectada, preservando ao máximo o tecido dentário sadio. Com a grande finalidade de promover a ampla utilização destes sistemas, inclusive em trabalhos de campo e em saúde pública, é que um novo produto, totalmente nacional, à base de papaína e cloramina foi desenvolvido e denominado Papacárie. O presente relato tem por objetivos descrever a técnica de utilização do Papacárie em paciente infantil demonstrando seu protocolo de utilização. Foi selecionado um paciente de 8 anos de idade, que apresentava lesões de cárie com necessidade de tratamento restaurador. Após a aplicação do gel de papaína aguardou-se de 30 a 40 segundos para em seguida realizar a curetagem do tecido cariado infectado e a lavagem abundante da cavidade com água. Após o procedimento da curetagem foi então realizada a restauração dos dentes com Compômero. Neste estudo de caso o tecido infectado foi facilmente removido pelo operador e o paciente não relatou dor e nem desconforto durante o tratamento. Mostrando assim que o gel Papacárie é de fácil utilização e muito prático, sendo uma ótima alternativa para remoção de tecido cariado, principalmente em crianças e em pacientes que tem medo do barulho do motor de alta e ou baixa rotação. Podendo também ser utilizado na técnica atraumática de remoção da cárie (ART), além de conservar ao máximo a estrutura dental sadia.

Comumente em bebês podem aparecer diversas alterações bucais de desenvolvimento, como os cistos de inclusão, que dependendo da localização, são classificados como nódulos de Bohn, cistos da lâmina dentária e pérola de Épstein. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as alterações que ocorrem com maior frequência em crianças logo após o seu nascimento. Foram examinados 100 recém-nascidos (saudáveis e que estavam no alojamento conjunto com suas mães) na Maternidade do Hospital Regional de Presidente Prudente – SP e suas mães foram entrevistadas.
