    OBJECTIVES This case report presents the possible and unexpected clinical severe complications of a bonded mandibular lingual retainer and an achievable therapeutic solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS 18-year-old boy comes to our observation; he reports a previous orthodontic treatment and not to carry out regular check-ups. Intraoral examination shows: class I malocclusion, flexible and intact spiral wire retainer bonded on the lingual surface of the lower front teeth, inferior midline deviated to the left side, lower incisors proclined and inclined to the left side, both mandibular canines and incisors wrongly torqued. Orthopantomography (OPT) shows a moderate root resorption of the lower front teeth with a very important divergence of the roots of left canine and lower incisors. Cone beam computed tomography shows the root of the right canine almost completely out of the bone on its lingual side and the root of the left canine out of the bone on its buccal side. We start a new orthodontic treatment to realign the teeth and to correct the transverse malocclusion. At the end of treatment, the smile of the patient was normalized with a good balance of the occlusal plane. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS At the end of treatment, the smile of the patient was normalized with a good balance of the occlusal plane. A good and stable molar and canine class I occlusion was achieved with correct overjet, overbite and transversal relationships. Orthopantomography showed the correction of the inclination of the lower front teeth with a moderate apical root resorption of the four lower incisors that was present also in the initial OPT. CBCT showed the correction of the axial inclination of the right canine with a good lingual bone thickness. On the left canine the good axial inclination achieved was evident; lingual bone thickness was ideal but on the buccal side there was no adequate amount of cortical bone. Although fixed retainers are generally adequate in preventing relapse, sometimes their inadvertent activity causes distortion of the dental arch. If not periodically checked by clinicians, such reported in this case report, fixed retainers may cause devastating complications and orthodontic retreatment could be the solution in restoring the physiological arch shape. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Fixed retainers can cause major complications for the dental elements affected by the retainer in terms of unwanted inclinations and movements with consequent damage to the periodontal structures. Regular monitoring by clinicians is therefore highly recommended. Orthodontic retreatment may prove to be the ideal solution to restore the physiological shape of the arch and the correct inclination of the roots of the affected teeth.

    Osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint in an adult patient with Hashimoto thyroiditis: case report.

    This case report documents the treatment of a female patient, 37 years 6 months of age, with a Class II open bite malocclusion with severe osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint associated with Hashimoto disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the thyroid in which autoimmune factors play a prominent role. The simultaneous treatment of both pathologies (malocclusion and thyroiditis) led to the cessation of pain and dysfunctional symptoms in both temporomandibular joints

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
