One of the healthcare professions considered at high risk for COVID-19 transmission is dentistry, due to the use of high-speed turbines that generate aerosol particles with contaminating agents. In response to this critical situation during the pandemic, extraoral suction devices have been innovated to capture a higher volume of emitted fluids. Objective: To determine the effect of using the extraoral suction device on the quantity and size of aerosol droplets generated by the high-speed turbine. Methodology: This was an in vitro, experimental, comparative, and analytical study. The population and sample consisted of 20 acrylic tooth units. For each cavity preparation, 8 water-sensitive papers were used to record the droplets; 10 teeth used the extraoral suction device (experimental group) and 10 teeth used conventional suction (control group). A chamber opening was simulated in the teeth using a high-speed turbine, and the quantity and size of the aerosol droplets generated were recorded on water-sensitive papers (total of 160) at radii of 30 and 60 centimeters. The droplets recorded were scanned and analyzed using STAINMASTER software. The quantity and size of the particles were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and T-student tests for independent samples, respectively. Results: The use of the extraoral suction device, compared to conventional suction, reduced the quantity and size of the droplets from an average of 17.82 droplets/cm² and 128.15 µm to 0.64 droplets/cm² and 85.18 µm, respectively, showing a percentage reduction of 96.4% in quantity and 33.53% in size. Conclusion: The use of the extraoral suction device had positive effects on the quantity and size of aerosol droplets generated by the high-speed turbine.

Evaluation of the compressive strength of a composite resin inserted directly incrementally versus block insertion and with pre-photopolymerized resin: in vitro study, 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-06-06) Sobrevilla Alarcón, Anai Yesenia; Arauzo Sinchez, Carlos Javier
One of the major disadvantages of composite resins is their post-photopolymerization shrinkage effect when incremented by more than 2mm in thickness. Due to this, alternative options such as Bulk Fill resins, which allow for an increase of up to 5mm in thickness, and the use of previously photopolymerized resins, are available in the market. Objective: To determine which composite resin insertion technique in proximal cavities has greater compressive strength. Methodology: 45 resin samples were made using acrylic tooth cavities measuring 4x10mm, which were replicated through condensation silicone impressions. The resin samples were from the 3M ESPE brand and divided into three groups: G1: n=15 (Filtek Z350 XT Resin); G2: n=15 (Filtek Bulk Fill Resin); G3: n=15 (Filtek Z350 Resin with Z350 XT Flowable Resin). The resin insertion techniques for G1 used an incremental technique of 2mm thickness; G2 used a block technique with a single 5mm increment; and G3 used a mixed technique with flowable resin and pre-photopolymerized resins. The samples were calibrated and measured using a caliper and periodontal probe. Once the samples were obtained, they were subjected to a compressive strength test using a mechanical testing machine and a Digital Vernier (LG-CMT-5L Mitutoyo-200mm). Results: The compressive strength was 994.88 Newtons using the block technique, 1458.19 Newtons with the incremental technique, and 1241.30 Newtons with the pre-photopolymerized resin technique. There was a significant difference showing higher resistance using the incremental technique compared to the block technique (p<0.05). Conclusion: The incremental resin insertion technique has greater resistance to fracture compared to the block and pre-photopolymerized resin techniques.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-12-10) Sanchez Torres, Greis Haydee; Arauzo Sinchez, Carlos Javier
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microabrasion on the surface pigmentation of enamel in deciduous teeth exposed to iron supplements. This is an experimental (in vitro), longitudinal, comparative study conducted on 40 upper incisors selected based on eligibility criteria, collected, and donated for academic purposes. All samples were cleaned with a toothbrush and distilled water and stored in a container with saline solution. The pigmentation changes were evaluated using variables such as brightness, chroma, and hue through a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade V), which recorded numerical values at three time intervals: initial, intermediate (before and after exposure to the iron supplement), and final after performing the microabrasion. The teeth were labeled from 1 to 40 and divided into two equal groups: G1: exposed to generic iron supplement (ferrous sulfate/oral solution 75mg/5ml) and Group 2: exposed to commercial iron supplement (Ferrimax/oral solution 20mg/ml). The iron supplements were selected for convenience. An initial measurement was taken with the spectrophotometer, and then the samples were immersed in a container with the iron supplement for 5 minutes on 3 alternating days. Between each interval, the teeth were washed and preserved in saline solution. After the 3 days, the values were measured again with the spectrophotometer, and all samples underwent dental microabrasion using pumice stone and 37% phosphoric acid with a prophylaxis brush for three applications in a single session. The results showed that the means (SD) at the three time intervals (initial, intermediate, and final) for brightness were 71.09 (9.49), 62.52 (12.13), 72.58 (8.38); for chroma, it was 51.33 (5.29), 46.71 (7.85), 46.93 (4.62); for hue, it was 80.46 (3.90), 79.82 (5.58), 83.53 (2.69). There were significant differences at the three time intervals for brightness (p=0.000), chroma (p=0.0001), and hue (p=0.000). Regarding the type of supplement, the means observed after exposure to iron and after microabrasion for brightness were: generic (54.18; 70.41), commercial (70.87; 74.74); chroma: generic (41.16; 44.60), commercial (52.25; 49.26); and hue: generic (79.83; 84.17), commercial (84.17; 82.88), showing a significant difference only in chroma (p=0.0008). It was concluded that dental microabrasion is effective in improving the surface pigmentation of enamel in deciduous teeth exposed to iron supplements, with the commercial iron supplement showing better aesthetic results than the generic iron supplement.

Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease worldwide. One of the etiological factors of this disease is fermentable carbohydrates (sugars), as well as other modulating factors such as socioeconomic status. Objective: To evaluate the association between socioeconomic status and cariogenic potential in the diet of children aged 3 to 6 years in 02 districts of Metropolitan Lima during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, relational, and prospective study was conducted with a convenience sample of 120 children, where the caregivers recorded a food diary for their child (frequency and time of food consumption at home) over 3 days of the week (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day), along with data related to the family's socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationships between categorical variables, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: The results showed that the low, medium, and high cariogenic potential of the participants was 5.8%, 48.3%, and 45.8%, respectively. The cariogenic potential was significantly associated with socioeconomic status (p=0.009). Children from socioeconomic level D had 3.5 times higher consumption of foods with high cariogenic potential compared to children from socioeconomic level C. [OR (95% CI)] [3.51(1.36-9.02)]. Conclusions: The consumption of potentially cariogenic foods in children during the COVID-19 quarantine period is influenced by family socioeconomic status.
