Trigeminal Neuralgia: Clinical features and pharmacological and surgical treatment

Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of the trigeminal nerve that is characterized by painful and recurrent episodes at the facial level. Patients refer to this pain as a short-lived electric shock.

The treatment is pharmacological, but surgical treatment should be considered if the pain is not controlled or when the side effects of the drugs are not tolerated.

Space Maintainer in Pediatric Dentistry: How do they work? Benefits and indications

The primary teeth fulfill several functions, one of them is to save and maintain the space that corresponds to the permanent tooth until its exfoliation.

The premature loss of primary teeth puts the correct position and occlusion of the permanent teeth at risk. Preventive orthodontics makes use of space maintainers to prevent unwanted tooth movements.

Pharmacological management of the behavior of the pediatric patient: Nitrous Oxide and General Anesthesia

When pediatric patients attend their dental appointment, it can create a feeling of fear and stress that influences their behavior during the procedure. There are two types of behavior management: pharmacological and non-pharmacological.

When non-pharmacological behavior management techniques have been tried without results, we can use pharmacological methods: conscious sedation and general anesthesia.

Formation and development of the face and oral cavity (Orofacial Complex)

The formation and development of the face and oral cavity begins in the first branchial arch in the fourth week of intrauterine life. During this process the stomodeum is formed, which is considered the primitive mouth of the embryo.

The formation of the face starts from the five prominences (one frontonasal, two maxillary and two mandibular). The prominences develop giving rise to different regions of the face.

Nolla's Stages of Tooth Development - Video

Dr. Nolla in 1960 conducted a study to determine the development and maturation of permanent teeth. To perform this classification, the use of an X-ray is necessary.

The Nolla classification establishes values for tooth formation and development from the presence of the crypt to apical closure.

Muscles of Mastication in 3D - Origin, insertion and functions

The mastication is the first part of the digestive function and of great importance for stomatognathic and craniofacial development. This action is thanks to a group of muscles, known as muscles of mastication, which provide movements to the jaw.

The masticatory muscles insert into the mandible, and together with the TMJ they create opening, closing, protruding, retracting, and lateral movements. The muscles of mastication are: Temporalis, Masseter, and the pterygoid muscles (medial and lateral).

We share a didactic 3D video that shows us the origin, insertion, action and importance of the chewing muscles.
