چکیده
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship among the point of greatest depression on the root trifurcation floor and the furcation openings of the maxillary second molars. Sixty human extracted upper permanent second molars were analyzed and the furcation area were measured using a vertical calliper, and the values regarding the point of deepest depression were recorded. The results showed that the deepest depression in the trifurcation floor of the roots is centrally situated in 11.7% of the cases, whereas 88.3% involve mesial-buccal and distal-buccal roots. The distal furcation (F3) had the largest distance from the point of deepest depression in the trifurcation floor (A), followed by the buccal (F1) and mesial (F2) furcations when point A was below their respective openings. On the other hand, the medial furcation (F2) had the largest distance from point A, followed by distal (F3) and buccal (F1) furcations when point A was above their respective openings.

Developmental defects of the enamel (D.D.E.) are changes in the deciduous dentition that have been little studied in Brazil, although they lead to aesthetic problems, dental sensitivity and may be predictors of dental caries. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and distribution of D.D.E. in the deciduous dentition of pre-school children in the municipality of Itajaí, Sant...
متن کاملHutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
The Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome or progeria is a laminopathy generated by mutations that affect LMNA gene. This produces an abnormal protein named progerine which alters the formation of the cellular membrane inducing premature aging of all cells. In the present review aspects related to the pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of this syndrome are shown.
