La caries dental es una infección común entre los hombres de edad fértil. La caries no tratada resulta en pulpitis, progresando a un absceso periapical. Focos de infección en la cavidad oral generan un estado hiperinflamatorio sistémico y permiten la translocación de microorganismos a otros sitios del organismo. Se ha observado una relación directa...
Vertical root fractures in maxillary first molars affect the mesiobuccal root in most cases. Among intrinsic factors directly related to increasing susceptibility to vertical root fractures, the thickness of the cement/dentin walls is a factor over which the clinician has a direct influence during the chemomechanical preparation. In a cross-section...

To confirm the nature and forensic significance of questioned skeletal material submitted a medico-legal setting is a relatively common procedure, although not without difficulties when the remains are fragmented or burned. Different methodologies have been described for this purpose, many of them invasive, time and money consuming or dependent on...
In recent human populations there is a pattern of geographic variation associated to the tooth morphology. In the last decades there has been a remarkable scientific production around the study of non-metric dental traits in order to define the geographic patterns of groups, their history, origin or structure, among others. Between the proposed sco...
Introduction:
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs) are caused by several factors such as anatomical, neuromuscular and psychological alterations. In terms of anatomical alteration, a relationship has been established between TMJDs and postural alterations. Anterior position of the head requires hyperactivity of the posterior neck region and s...
El descubrimiento de un cadáver requiere de significativos esfuerzos para identificarlo si no hay información antemortemy los restos son hallados tiempo después de fallecido. Los hallazgos en fosas comunes, típicas de guerras, genocidios o violaciones de derechos humanos suponen un problema aún mayor: las osamentas pueden no pertenecer en sus datas...
Studies of non-metric dental traits have managed to estimate biological relationships among ancient and contemporary human groups with a high taxonomic value. While South America has been subject of considerable research on settlement, migration and miscegenation, only a few studies have used information from dental traits for this purpose, with th...
Reports of cases of splenic metastasis are very rare, even more so when they are derived from a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cecum. The most common presentation of a solitary splenic metastasis is from lung primary tumors, endometrium, ovary, cervix, stomach, colon, breast, bladder, and skin. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with a soli...
The aim of this study was to assess the morphology of the mesial root canal system of maxillary molars and the frequency of MB2 canals using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

The interaction between domestic animals and humans has not been free of conflicts, and dog attacks represent a real problem, not only for the health consequences, but also for the possible criminal, and can affect the legal or financial outcomes. Dogs' teeth have particular features, and the resulting bite marks are a major point of forensic inter...
Within the procedures involved in a successful endodontic treatment is the working length (WL) determination. The root canal end must be detected accurately, and a precise control of the WL must be maintained. There are several methods to determine WL. Researchers have published the average teeth length (ATL) to the human permanent dentition. These...
The competence-based training nowadays represents a strategy of teaching-learning, which supports the student to prepare him/her for better performance in the increasingly complex social environments through the development of their own skills.

Fourth molars are supernumerary teeth located distal to the third molars that may cause local alterations. Therefore an adequate diagnosis and treatment are essential. Removal of the supernumerary tooth and, in selected cases, maintenance of the tooth on the arch and frequent observation are the preferred treatments. If the extraction is recommende...
Metastasis is the propagation process of a cancerous focus to an organ other than that in which it started; usually occurring through blood or lymphatic route. The most common sites of metastases are the organs most irrigated such as the brain, lungs, liver, bones and adrenal glands. The objective was to analyze the pattern of liver tumor metastasi...
Drug delivery systems based on polymeric microparticles represent an interesting field of development for the treatment of several infectious diseases for humans and animals.
