    Abstract Introduction: Dental caries continues to be a public healthcare problem due to its high prevalence and morbidity. It was proposed to evaluate caries indicators in relation to healthcare access and hygienic-dietary habits in Spanish preschoolers.
    Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a random sample consisting of 343 patients ranging from 3 to 5 years of age in the primary care setting, the main measurements were: dental care access, hygienic-dietary habits, and caries registration according to WHO criteria.
    Results: The prevalence of caries was 35.3% and mean ± standard deviation (SD) dft was 1.51 ± 2.93. Preschoolers who had ever visited the dentist had a higher dft occurrence than those who had never attended the dentist. The lower prevalence of caries was significantly associated with the frequency of two daily brushings versus non-daily brushing (p = 0.007; 25.3% vs. 47.1%) and was 10.7% lower in patients who had the habit of night brushing (p = 0.041). The consumption of sugary liquids between meals implied a higher dft index.
    Conclusions: The high prevalence of early childhood caries and the dental care access associated with poor oral health suggest the need to implement a multidisciplinary oral healthcare program that involves both healthcare and dental healthcare professionals in Primary Health Care Units without forgetting the participation of the community and local administrations.

    Abstract Over the past three decades, the synthesis of new ionic liquids (ILs) and the expansion of their use in newer applications have grown exponentially. From the beginning of this vertiginous period, it was known that many of them were hygroscopic, which in some cases limited their use or altered the value of their measured physical properties with all the problems that this entails. In an earlier article, we addressed the hygroscopic grade achieved by the ILs 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, and methyl trioctyl ammonium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide. The objective was to determine the influence of the chemical nature of the compounds, exposed surface area, sample volume, agitation, and temperature. For this purpose, we exposed the samples to abrupt increases in relative humidity from 15 to 100% for days in an atmosphere chamber and then proceeded with the reverse process in a gentle manner. The results show that the sorption of water from the atmosphere depends on the nature of the IL, especially the anion, with the chloride anion being of particular importance (chloride ≫ alkyl sulfates~bromide > tosylate ≫ tetrafluoroborate). It has also been proven for the EMIM-ES and EMIM-BF

    Abstract Introduction: Cannulation with a central venous catheter (CVC) is a common procedure used in critical care. One of the main complications is occlusion, which can lead to delayed treatment, prolonged hospital stay, and increased health care costs.
    Objective: The aim of this project was to promote evidence-based practice for nurses caring for patients with a CVC in a Spanish intensive care unit. The project also aimed to reduce CVC occlusion and ensure CVC patency.
    Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Model of Evidence-based Healthcare and the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. Seven phases were followed using evidence-based auditing and feedback. The JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) and Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) tools were used to support data collection, data analysis, and implementation planning.
    Results: After project implementation, the following results were obtained. Criterion 1 (assessing the CVC, flushing, and aspirating) reached 100% compliance in both audits. Criterion 2 (occlusion documentation) showed a modest improvement, rising from 13.33% to 36.67%. Improvement for Criterion 3 (the need for a policy and protocol) was excellent, rising from 0% at baseline to 100% following implementation. Criterion 4 (rapid instillation of an appropriate thrombolytic agent if a CVC is occluded) remained at 0% compliance in both audits. Criterion 5 (continuing education for health care professionals) improved from 10% to 60%. Criterion 6 (flushing and locking before procedures) improved from 90% to 100%.
    Conclusion: The project objectives were largely met and resulted in a protocol, which has been shared with other departments within the hospital. The implementation of best clinical practice will be continued, including the use of thrombolytic agents.

    Abstract The prevalence of bruxism in the preschool population varies according to different investigations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep bruxism and its relationship with social and orofacial factors in children aged 3 to 5 years. Three hundred forty-three preschool children were divided into two groups, one with nocturnal bruxism, as reported by parents, and another without this disorder. Questionnaires were distributed to the parents to determine the children's family social status and parafunctional habits at the time of the study. The clinical inspection confirmed the presence of certain parafunctional habits and the children's occlusal characteristics. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency chi-square tests to identify the influence of qualitative variables. Of the total sample, 28.9% of preschoolers presented sleep bruxism. The highest prevalence was observed in boys (61.6%) at the age of 5 years (41.4%). Characteristics associated with this pathology were lip incompetence, open bite, crossbite, and overbite, with

    Abstract Pulp therapy in primary teeth is a challenge for a dentist, therefore, a better understanding of the anatomical characteristics of this tissue is essential to remedy these deficiencies. The aim of this study was to determine the morphological peculiarities of the root canals of extracted deciduous molars by Cone-Beam computed tomography (CBCT). As such, healthy molars without physiological resorption were collected and sanitized. After analyzing descriptive and inferential statistics, the results show that 56% of lower molar roots have a Weine's type III canal configuration; the upper and lower second molars are significantly larger compared to the first, with a mean of 8.318 (±1.313) mm and 7.757 (±1.286) mm, respectively. Additionally, the palatine canals exhibited greater volume than the others, with a mean of 3.687 mm

    Abstract The anatomical variability of primary molars promotes research to improve clinical restorative activity, forensic identification, and industrial development. The objective was to study the morphology of the pulp chamber and its three-dimensional relationship with the external morphology of the tooth. A total of 151 deciduous molars were collected and subjected to three-dimensional imaging analysis in order to determine dental crown (CV) and pulp chamber (PV) volumes, their ratio (VR), pulp chamber roof (PCR) and pulp chamber floor (PCF) area, the furcation length (FD), and morphological peculiarities. The data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS 26 software. The statistical analysis determined statistically significant differences between the four groups of molars for all variables. Great anatomical variability was observed, especially in the maxillary first molar, the volumes were higher in the maxillary second molar and the highest risk of furcal perforation was seen in the mandibular first molar. Additionally, mandibular second molars with six pulp horns, and some different density images compatible with accessory canals and pulp stones were found. Based on the findings of this investigation, we confirm the great anatomical variability that exists between the maxillary and mandibular molars.

    Abstract The complexity of mandibular dynamics encourages constant research as a vehicle to improve oral health. The gold standard motion capture system might help us to understand its functioning and its relation to body position, aiming to perform an exhaustive bibliographic review in the Dentistry field. Six different electronic databases were used (Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus) in April 2022. The selection criteria includes a biography, critical analysis, and the full text from 1984 to April 2022, based on the odontological gold standard, whether or not in combination with additional devices. Clinical cases, bibliographic reviews or meta-analysis and grey literature were excluded. The checklist of the critical assessment methodology by Joanna Brigs was used (JBI). After choosing scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals, 23 out of 186 investigations were classified as eligible with a total of 384 participants. The issue being addressed is related to the speech properties, posture and body movement in relation to dento-oro-facial muscle and facial analysis, mandibular kinematics and mandibular dynamics during the mastication process. The markers arrangement depends on the dynamic to be analysed. From a physiologic and pathologic perspective, the applications of the optic system are relevant in Dentistry. The scarcity of literature obtained implies the need for future research.

    Abstract This work aims to determine the potential to produce biomethane by means of an Anaerobic Sequential Batch Reactor used to process two types of slaughterhouse wastes: raw slaughterhouse wastewaters and a sludge obtained after a specific treatment. In this study different hydraulic retention times (15, 10, 8, 6, 4 days) were applied and the reactor's performance was evaluated. The behavior of the main parameters associated to biodegradation processes, such as total biomethane production or anaerobic population dynamics were studied. The highest methane production and biodegrading factors removals were achieved when using 10-8 days of hydraulic retention times, obtaining around 0.31 ± 0.03 LCH₄/gCODₜ and 0.51 ± 0.06LCH₄/gTVS with removal percentages between 16 and 22% for COD and between 47 and 34% for TVS thanks to the higher microbial population. Therefore, the proposed AnSBR system has the potential to generate 5.23·10⁵ kW h/year when operating under optimal HRT conditions (HRT 8–10 d). At these conditions, long chain fatty acid hydrolysis limitation are not a problem for a stable AD process performance due to a proper balance of different microbial groups: Eubacteria:Archaea ratio of 2.0; low but stable hydrolytic acidogenic bacteria proportion (13%), high proportion of Acetogens (44%) and preferred acetoclastic methanogen (32%) than hydrogenotropic methanogens (3%). So, the conditioning of the substrate such as pre-treatment of the sludge and the mixture in a proper proportion to the slaughterhouse wastewater achieve optimal organic load and microbial population, that improve the biomethane production in ACoD of Slaughterhouse residues in AnSBR systems during stable operation (HRT 15-8d). Even, a positive linear correlation between organic loading rate and Archaea activity was observed. However, at HRT 6d and 4d hydraulic retention times, the reactors started to suffer destabilization.

    Abstract The aim was to analyze the relationship between BMI (body mass index) and the sequence and chronology of the eruption of permanent teeth in a sample of Spanish children. Methods: The study design was descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, and epidemiological. Patients of pediatric age were included. Emerged teeth, and patient’s age, race, and sex were recorded. The nutritional status of the child was assessed by calculating the BMI, according to the WHO parameters. Statistical analysis was carried out with a confidence interval of 95%. A prediction model with logistic regression models was obtained. Results: A total of 725 pediatric patients between 4 and 14 years old were analyzed. BMI acts as a predictor variable for eruption symmetry, as it was most frequent in overweight children (p < 0.001). The probability of symmetry in dental eruption increases for South American children, for an extra month of age, and each meter of height. BMI had an influence in the first tooth to appear only in the fourth quadrant. BMI did not seem to influence present teeth, and the sequence of permanent dental eruption was not influenced by the BMI category. Conclusions: Age, weight, height, and BMI act as significant predictors for eruption symmetry. BMI does not produce alterations in the eruption sequence of the permanent dentition.
