Estado de la intensidad lumínica de las lámparas de fotopolimerización de Clínicas Odontológicas de Centros de Salud de Cuenca
(2023) Quinchiguano Caraguay, Milton Alexis; Bravo Anchundia, David Ismael; Amoroso Calle, Esteban Eduardo; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
The effectiveness of a restorative treatment using resinous compounds can be affected by the light intensity that the photopolymerization lamp is capable of emitting. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of the light intensity of the photopolymerization lamps in the dental clinics of health centers in the City of Cuenca, Ecuador. The light intensity of 38 photopolymerization lamps corresponding to 23 health centers was evaluated and classified into low power (<300 mw/cm2), regular power (300 - 800 mw/cm2) and high power (>800 mw/cm2). The intensity of the light power was evaluated with the CK12024 radiometer by three observers prior to authorization from the professionals in charge for the analysis of their photocuring devices. It was obtained that, of the 38 photopolymerization lamps evaluated, 5.26% (n=8) have a low power, 21.05% (n=8) have a regular power and 73.68% (28) have a high power. According to the data obtained, we conclude that the majority of photopolymerization lamps in the health centers of the City of Cuenca have optimal performance, in addition to emphasizing the periodic evaluation of the photopolymerization lamps to control optimal performance.

Volume of the Upper Airway in Different Facial Skeletal Patterns Of A Population of Palastudents From the University Of Cuenca Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(2024) Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo; Alvarez Chiong, Javier Enrique; Iniguez Matute, Wendy Dayanna; Guartazaca Guartazaca, Belkis Gabriela; Llapa Yuquilima, Carla Cecilia
n the context of diagnosing and planning treatment for patients with dentofacial deformities, it is crucial to examine the upper airway, as its function may be compromised by the facial skeletal pattern or impacted by planned surgical intervention. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is positioned as the preferred option for evaluation due to its precision and ability to predict possible changes. Objective: to evaluate the volume of the upper airway in different facial skeletal patterns of a population ofstudents from the University of Cuenca at TCHC. Materials and methods: 33 tomographies were evaluated through the Sidexis 4 program, where the volume of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx was measured according to facial skeletal pattern and sex. Results: Of the 33 CBCT analyzed, 10 (30%) belonged to males and 23 (70%) to females. Within the population of patients with skeletal class I, it was found that the volume of the oropharynx was greater compared to the nasopharynx and hypopharynx, thus obtaining an average of 21.87 cm3, with a standard deviation of 5.09. Conclusions: The average volume of the upper airway in subjectswith Class I facial skeletal patterns is higher than in Class II, thus being statistically significant in the oropharynx. It is recommended to conduct studies with a larger population involving Class III skeletal patterns.

Seguridad en la colocación de mini implantes ortodónticos en la región infracigomática
(2015) Cruz Ibañez, Luis Arturo; Gualan Cartuche, Leonardo Patricio; Cazar Almache, Marcelo Enrique; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo; Miranda Villasana, José Ernesto
Knowledge of the anatomy of the anterolateral region of the maxillary sinus should be essential when orthodontic mini screw implants are placed in the maxilla region. A retrospective study is performed to analyze the location of the alveoloantral artery in 158 Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) studies of a population the city of Cuenca Ecuador. The distance was measured between alveoloantral canal and the cervical region from the first premolar to the second molar bilaterally. Thus the average measurements of the location of said vascular package level above the dental organs being determined that the length of the miniscrew implants to be placed in the region of infracigomatic crest be exceeded 15 mm were established
Análisis de terceros molares y sus estructuras anatómicas adyacentes mediante CBCT: meta-análisis
(2021) Bermeo Dominguez, Jessica Belen; Morales Gonzalez, Pablo Mateo; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
The following meta-analysis aims to evaluate the position of mandibular third molars and their nearby anatomical structures (lower dental canal, lower dental nerve, lingual cortex, lower second molar). It was performed using a filter that allowsthe classification and evaluation of various scientific articles, applying an advanced search through digital databases such as Pubmed, Cochrane,Science Direct and Wiley, the selected articles should be published between 2017-2021. In addition, we detailthe different classifications used to evaluate an impacted mandibular third molar, which according to Winter the most prevalent position isthe mesioangular and according to Pell and Gregory there is a higher prevalence of Class 2-B; we also detail recentclassifications for impacted molars such as "LiqunGu" and "Ogüz Boraham". These findings illustrate the importance of locating structures close to the mandibular third molar, knowing different classifications to determine the position of an impacted third molar and the advantage of CBCT in surgical planning, thus avoiding possible iatrogenesis in clinical practice
Analysis of the carbon neutral standard and its implementation in a dental clinic in Ecuador: A Review of the Literature
(2023) Prieto Veintimilla, Cristina Stephany; Bernal Merchan, Bryam Andres; Mendez Calle, Christian Geovanny; Tello Lopez, Salome; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
Introduction: The carbon neutral standard, or also known as carbon neutral or “zero net emissions” standard, aims to balance the greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere with the elimination or compensation of the same amount of emissions. In many countries, this standard has been implemented with certain policies and measures to move towards carbon neutrality in different international agreements. Said policies include actions such as the promotion of renewable energies, energy efficiency, use of renewable materials, etc. Objective: to determine the importance of Carbon Neutral model in dental clinics. Materials and Methods: In this article, a review of the literature about the Carbon Neutral Standard and its impact on Companies and Dentistry was carried out, using scientific articles and other research documents from the Scopus, Google Scholar, Scielo databases. and the website of the Ministry of the Environment of Ecuador.
Maxil006Cary Anterior Alveolar Arch (AA) Shape Analysis: A Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study
(2022) Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo; Bernal Pinos, Marco Vinicio
The aim of this study is classified the shapes of the alveolar arches in the anterior aesthetic region using cone beam computed tomography images. Methods:The sample consisted of 40 young adults, the age of the subjects ranged between 23 and 33 years, with a mean of 25.90 years. All subjects performed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), evaluating the axial view. Statistical software (SPSS version 20.0; IBM Corp., Arm NY, USA) was used to analyze the data for inter-examiner calibration, an intraclass correlation coefficient test was performed with a confidence level of 95%. Results: The predominant form of the AA arch is the short medium with a percentage of 60% equivalent to 24 subjects in the sample, and with the lowest percentage the form of the AA arch is long narrow arch with a 7 .5% equivalent to 3 of the 40 total subjects of the sample. Conclusion: The shape of the anterior alveolar arch, using the formula of the fourth-degree polynomial that has been shown to be the most suitable to represent a smooth and natural curve of the arch, can be classified into long narrow, short medium, long medium and long wide arches. Further studies on this are recommended
Maxillary protaction with zygomatic anchorage in a growing class III patient
(2019) Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo; Aldaz Merchan, Johanna Carolina; Andrade Andrade, Karen Daniela; Aguilar Novillo, Edison Roman
Summary Maxillary protraction headgear with dental anchorage is commonly used in the treatment of class III malocclusion, but this treatment has been shown to have certain undesirable effects such as the loss of dental anchorage. These side effects can be reduced with the use of skeletal anchorage such as miniplates, mini screws and implants. This case report describes an orthopaedic treatment performed on a 10-year-old boy presenting a class III malocclusion with maxillary hypoplasia, for which a 10-month first phase of maxillary protraction was realised with zygomatic miniplates used as a skeletal anchorage. As a result, significant skeletal, dental and facial changes were observed.
A comparison of cephalometric measurements with conventional lateral cephalic 2D and reconstructed lateral cephalic of CBCT
(2022) Morocho Llivizaca, Karina Viviana; Bernal Pinos, Marco Vinicio; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
Lateral cephalic radiography is mainly used to describe the morphology and growth of the craniofacial skeleton. It is considered a valuable diagnostic aid in orthodontics to plan treatment and evaluate the results. (1)(2) Cephalometric analyses requires identifying specific reference points and calculating various angular and linear dimensions. (3) Because cephalometry has been one of the most important diagnostic tools available to orthodontists for more than seven decades, different cephalometric norms have been published by leading physicians and researchers and it is used for: diagnosis, treatment progress, post-treatment evaluation, and research. (4) According to the orthodontic literature, other reconstructions such as lateral cephalic are known from more recent 3D cone beam computed tomography images. The attempt to develop 3D analysis and diagnosis is more interesting today. (4) (15) (23) Lateral cephalic radiographs are two-dimensional (2D) images that are used to represent three-dimensional (3D) structures. (5) Due to the different disadvantages of a 2D lateral cephalic X-ray: geometric distortion and the superposition of anatomical structures, 3D imaging has overcome the hurdle of 2D imaging by allowing orthodontists to visualize craniofacial structures without overlap or distortion.(6)(7)
