    Asociación entre el biotipo facial y la clase esqueletal en pacientes entre 11 y 30 años atendidos en la Clínica de especialidades de ortodoncia UDD entre los años 2015 y 2020
    (2024) Consigliere, Valentina; Donoso, Magdalena; Veloso, Valentina; Finkelstein, Andrea; Ramos, José
    Introducción: En ortodoncia, es importante la concordancia entre la clase esqueletal y el biotipo facial para establecer un buen diagnóstico y tratamiento, para corregir problemas de estética, dinámica mandibular y maloclusiones. Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la asociación entre el biotipo facial y la clase esqueletal de paciente entre 11 a 30 años atendidos en la clínica de especialidades en ortodoncia de la Universidad del Desarrollo. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal analizando la asociación entre biotipo facial y clase esqueletal de pacientes atendidos una clínica universitaria de especialidad en ortodoncia. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las frecuencias absolutas y relativas de las distintas categorías y sus combinaciones. La asociación estadística fue determinada mediante la prueba χ2. Resultados: Se incluyeron 290 participantes, 55,5% de sexo femenino, con una media de edad de 19,6 años. El biotipo más prevalente fue dolicofacial y la clase esqueletal fue clase II. En cuanto a la asociación 67 pacientes fueron clase II y dolicofacial, siendo la asociación más frecuente. Un 57,24 % no presento concordancia. Discusión: La normalidad en base al biotipo facial y clase esqueletal no fue predominante, esto se relaciona con problemas de maloclusión, estética y trastorno temporomandibular. La terapia interceptiva y la cirugía ortognática son opciones para tratar las anomalías dentomaxilares dependiendo de factores como la edad y severidad de la condición. Conclusión: el 57,24% de la población no presenta una concordancia entre biotipo facial y clase esqueletal, por lo que un correcto diagnóstico, planificación y plan de tratamiento son esenciales para obtener resultados favorables. Introduction: In orthodontics, concordance between skeletal class and facial biotype is important to establish a good diagnosis and treatment, to correct problems of esthetics, mandibular dynamics and malocclusions. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between facial biotype and skeletal class in patients between 11 and 30 years of age seen at the orthodontic specialty clinic of the Universidad del Desarrollo. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out analyzing the association between facial biotype and skeletal class in patients attending a university orthodontic specialty clinic. A descriptive analysis of the absolute and relative frequencies of the different categories and their combinations was performed. The statistical association was determined using the χ2 test. Results: 290 participants were included, 55,5% female, with a mean age of 19,6 years. The most prevalent biotype was dolichofacial and the skeletal class was Class II. As for the association 67 patients were Class II and dolichofacial, being the most frequent association. A 57,24 % did not present concordance. Discussion: Normality based on facial biotype and skeletal class was not predominant, this is related to malocclusion, esthetic and temporomandibular disorder. Interceptive therapy and orthognathic surgery are options to treat dentomaxillary anomalies depending on factors such as age and severity of the condition. Conclusion: 57,24% of the population does not present a concordance between facial biotype and skeletal class, so a correct diagnosis, planning and treatment plan are essential to obtain favorable results.

    Protocol for a systematic mapping review of surgical and pharmacological interventions for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
    (2024) Ladevig, Dominga; Veloso, Valentina; Ávila-Oliver, Camila
    INTRODUCTION Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful neuropathic disorder characterized by sudden electric shock–like pain that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Multiple treatment alternatives are available, including medical and surgical options but establishing the optimal course of action can be challenging. To enhance clinical decision-making for trigeminal neuralgia treatment, it is imperative to organize, describe and map the available systematic reviews and randomized trials. This will help identify the best treatment alternatives supported by evidence and acknowledge potential knowledge gaps where future research is needed. OBJECTIVE This systematic mapping review aims to provide up-to-date evidence on the different surgical and pharmacological treatment alternatives used for trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS A search will be systematically conducted on the Epistemonikos database to identify potentially eligible systematic reviews. Additionally, a search will be made in PubMed, CENTRAL, and EBSCO to identify randomized controlled trials assessing pharmacological and surgical treatment interventions for trigeminal neuralgia. Two independent reviewers will screen and select the studies. Data on the different treatment alternatives and reported outcomes in the included studies will be extracted using standardized forms. Following extraction, descriptive statistical methods will be used to analyze the data. The final output of this study will include an evidence map that will illustrate the connections between different treatments and their respective outcomes, providing a clear depiction of the evidence landscape. EXPECTED RESULTS This study expects to map, describe and assess the methodological quality of the available systematic reviews and trials on pharmacological interventions and neurosurgical procedures for treating trigeminal neuralgia. It will present the results in an evidence map that organizes the available evidence based on their different interventions and outcomes. This evidence map will serve as a visual tool to assist healthcare professionals and patients to understand evidence-based treatment options and their implications for managing this medical condition.
