Some time ago, among several types of publications, such as Editorials, Opinions, Review Article and Letter to the Editor, we presented our philosophy against the specialty recently created in Brazil and that has been contaminating other countries, especially in Europe, carried by Brazilian professors: Orofacial Harmonization.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the intake of yerba mate tea during tooth bleaching reduces the efficacy of treatment. Twelve bovine teeth were used in the study. The initial color was analyzed using spectrophotometric measurement based on CIEL*a*b* colorimetry. The teeth were then immersed in Yerba mate for 15 days, changing the solution daily. After pigmentation, the teeth were submitted to a new spectrophotometric color analysis. The specimens were divided into two groups: Experimental Group (EG) and Control Group (CG). The Experimental Group was bleached using an in-office bleaching technique with Whiteness HP Automix bleaching gel (FGM, Joinville, SC, Brazil) for three 50-minute sessions with a 5-day interval, simulating a 30-minute daily consumption of yerba mate. Those in Control Group were only submitted to the bleaching procedure and the specimens were stored in a saline solution during the intervals. After treatment completion, the specimens were submitted to a new color analysis. The color measurements were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test with ΔE values for CG: 38.86 +- 11.88 EG: 40.8 +- 6.50 (p = 0.72). ΔL CG: 38.55 +- 6.25 EG: 36.64 +- 4.75 (p = 0.56). Δa CG: 3.89 +- 1.45 EG: 2.15 +- 1.57 (p = 0.074). Δb CG: -16.18 +- 5.83 EG: -17.36 +- 6.73 (p = 0.75). The present study showed that there was no influence of intake of yerba mate during tooth bleaching.

Maxillofacial trauma is one of the most common reasons in children due to their greater cranial mass to body ratio when compared to adults. Among them, soft tissue and dentoalveolar injuries are more common when compared to facial bone fractures. These injuries are more common in boys when compared to girls which is attributed to their increased physical activity. Their impact can be seen on the psychological development and facial growth of the children which can also affect their families. Fractures in children are minimally displaced because elastic bone is covered by thicker layer of adipose tissue which in turn acts as protective layer. Evaluation of pediatric trauma includes stabilisation, physical examination, imaging and adapting the appropriate mode of treatment. Usually, the management is conservative and non-invasive in children to prevent any disturbances in growth. The use of resorbable materials in treating pediatric population provides sufficient stability and rigidity to avoid complications and follow up is necessary to assess the outcome which in turn depends on the development of the child.

Several adverse reactions resulting from the administration of drugs on the stomatognathic system, particularly on the gingiva, are known. Drug-induced gingival overgrowth is often developed by the administration of immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporin A), calcium channel blockers (nifedipine) and anticonvulsants (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine and valproic acid). Generally, the recommended treatment for gingival overgrowth is surgical excision, usually by the gingivectomy technique; however, it is necessary to perform basic periodontal treatment prior to surgery. The purpose of this paper is to present the case of a patient who presented with gingival overgrowth after taking phenytoin to control her seizures. There was complete remission of the gingival overgrowth by basic periodontal treatment (oral hygiene instruction and sessions for scaling and root planing). The benefits of the clinical and histological effects of basic periodontal treatment on the remission of gingival growth were discussed.
