(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.
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
Description of the WALA edge measured in STL and DICOM files.
(2022) Zhingre Suarez, Mauricio Ruben; Bernal Pinos, Marco Vinicio; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
El objetivo de este estudio fue describir el borde WALA utilizando archivos STL y DICOM, contrastando los resultados con los valores dados por los autores Will Andrews y Larry Andrews y así cual método diagnóstico es el más cercano a la realidad. Este estudio observacional descriptivo incluyó 36 participantes, con edades comprendidas entre 23 y 33 años, estudiantes universitarios, a quienes se les realizaron estudios de tomografía computarizada CBCT (archivos DICOM) y escaneos intraorales para obtener modelos STL. Se utilizaron dos software Meshmixer para el STL y 3D Slicer para el CBCT. En ambos métodos de diagnóstico, para la medición del borde WALA se determinó: el punto del eje facial (FA), ubicado en la parte más prominente del el centro coronal vestibular en premolares y en el centro del surco mesiovestibular en primeros molares; el punto WALA, ubicado perpendicular al plano oclusal en la unión mucogingival. Los datos de las mediciones obtenidas fueron guardados en el programa Microsoft office Excel 2019
Correlación de la base del cráneo con el patrón facial y la posición sagital de los maxilares
(2014) Toledo Jaramillo, Diego Fernando; Cazar Almache, Marcelo Enrique; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of cranial base with the facial pattern and the sagittal position of the jaws. Ninety lateral cephalometric radiographs were selected from Ecuadorian adolescents of Azuay province with mean age of 14 years, of both genders. The anatomical design, landmark demarcation, tracing and the measurement of planes and angles were manually performed. Next, the Ricketts VERT index was used to determine the facial pattern, and the sample was distributed in three groups: (1) mesofacial, (2) dolichofacial and (3) brachyfacial. The SN and SBa planes, and the SNBa and SN-PoOr angles were the cranial base measurements considered for the analysis. While the measurements of the sagittal position of the jaws used were the SNA and SNB angles. No correlations between the cranial base variables and facial pattern were observed. However, there were significant negative correlations of the SNBa angle with SNA (r= -0.441, p=0.000), SNB (r= -0.438, p=0.000), and the SN-PoOr angle with SNA (r= -0.63, p=0.000), SNB (r= -0.647 p= 0.000), and between the SN plane and the SNA angle (r= -0.231; p=0,029). There was no correlation of the SN plane with the SNB angle, neither of the SBa plane with the SNA and SNB angles.
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.
Determinación de estándares cefalométricos de las diferentes etnias de Ecuador
(2016) Piña Cortés, Victor Alejandro; Cazar Almache, Marcelo Enrique; Miranda Villasana, José Ernesto; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
Cephalometry with lateral skull radiography is a routine diagnostic method in orthodontic and maxillary orthopedic practice that under the metric problems and previously established proportions, establish an important part of the diagnosis in skeletal cephalic alterations called dentofacial deformities; The criteria specified above correspond mostly to the measures taken by Caucasian individuals, so it does not coincide with the exact average of the measures of the rest of the ethnic groups. Through this study, a representative sample of the Ecuadorian population, with its different ethnicities, was taken to establish the arithmetic mean of its craniofacial measures and proportions, so that it is counted on the one that represents the normality of each representative ethnic group of Ecuador . The estimate of the population sample consists of 30 individuals by ethnicity from 18 to 30 years of age, without previous aesthetic, reconstructive and / or craniofacial symptoms, maxillary orthopedic appliances, traumatic or syndromic sequelae diagnosed. This population will perform a lateral skull x-ray that will then be quantified with Ricketts Cephalometric analysis by means of Dolphin® software, obtaining through arithmetic average statistical tools and standard deviation of measurements and proportions by ethnic group with the program SPS®; The ethnicities to study will be: white, mestizo, Afro-Ecuadorian and indigenous.
Correction of a severely rotated mandibular canine in an adult patient using invisalign: a case report
(2018) Pando Bacuilima, Karina Andrea; Aguilar Novillo, Edison Roman; Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo
Introduction: The Invisalign system has been used in the orthodontic treatment of numerous types of malocclusions. However some clinicians have reported difficulty incorrectingrotations particularly in canines and premolars using the Invisalign appliance system. This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an adult patient with severe canine rotation (more than 45°) and crowding on upper and lower tooth.Methods: The clinical examination included extra-oral and intra-oral photographs, panoramic radiographic, lateral cephalometric, stone casts, and upper and lower arch analysis obtained from ClinCheck 3.0.The treatment planningwas resolved the crowding in both upper and lower arches and thesevere rotation of 33 tooth (46°) using Invisalign system as well as the canine and molar relationship, dental verticalization, adequate over jet, overbite and dental midline using the same system. The duration of the treatment was approximately eight months.Results: In Post-treatment extra oral photographs, no significant changes were observed at the end of the treatment. Intraoral photographs showed an important and notable improved aesthetics. The canine relationship improved slightly and molar Class Irelationshipwas maintained. An increase in transverse diameter was observed at the level of first premolars, second premolars and first molars.The overbite was improved. The crowding and the severe canine rotationwere corrected. No obvious root resorption was radiographically evident and slight cephalometric changes. Page 2 Open Science JournalCase reportOpen Science Journal–April20182Keywords:Severe rotation, Canine, Invisalign system.IntroductionIn recent years, orthodontics treatments have increased their popularity betweenadults patients being aesthetics[1]and comfort techniques[2] who preferred them. In this context, the aligners have become one of the most growing orthodontic treatment modalities [3].The Invisalign system (Align Technology) introduced in 1999 has been used as an aesthetic and comfort of the removable clear aligners in comparison with the traditional appliances[4].Previous studies showed that the Invisalign system is effective in the treatment of “mild to moderate tooth crowding and some cases of severe crowding involving extractions”[5]. The patients that used thissystem have worn the aligners approximately 22 hours per day except for meals, drinks and dental hygiene [6].Each aligner is ideally worn for 15 days,moving the teeth at a maximum rate of 0.33 mm and 2 degrees of rotation per aligner [7].However, certain limitationshave been outlined respect tothe aligners and certain tooth movements as extrusion, rotation, bodily movement, and torque [8].In this context, many clinicians have reported difficultiesof correctingrotations particularly incanines and premolars [9].Severe canine rotation more than 15°(clinically discernable amount of malrotation) is an orthodontic movement reported to be difficult to achieve and control with the Invisalign system[10].When rotations are greater than 15°, the accuracy of the canine is significantly reduced [11].This case report shows the use of the Invisalign system in the treatment of an adult patient with severe canine rotation (more than 45°) and crowding on upper and lower tooth.Case reportA female patient aged 33 yearswentto the orthodontic clinic at Cuenca University, Ecuador; thepatient’s main complaint was“My upper and lower teeth are crocked”.An informed consent was obtained from the patient who underwent examination and it was recorded. The clinical examination revealed that the patient presented severe rotation of lower canine (more than 45°) and crowdingon upper and lower arches. The clinical examination included extra-oral and intra-oral photographs, panoramic radiographic, lateral cephalometric, stone casts, and upper and lower arch analysis obtained from ClinCheck 3.0.The extraoralexamination revealedmesocephalic head, proportional facial thirds, straight anterior profile (Fig1).Conclusion: The treatment with the Invisalign system resolved the complaint of our patient so this system could be considered as an option that offered good results in the treatment of upper and lower crowding of arches involving severe canine rotation Correction of a Severely Rotated Mandibular Canine in an Adult Patient Using Invisalign: A Case Report.

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
