The presence of influencers and health professionals increasingly active in these digital environments contributes to the widespread dissemination and normalization of the results of dental procedures in society. The objective of this research is to analyze the scientific production on the influence of social media on the perception of facial and orofacial aesthetics through a bibliometric review, identifying research trends and the scientific impact of the studies. Regarding methodology, a search strategy was carried out using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS-CC) databases, including original articles and reviews, without language restriction, from 2014 to 2026 and structured in three conceptual blocks. Studies that investigated the influence of social networks on the perception of facial and/or dental aesthetics were included. In the results, there is a progression in the number of articles published on the subject and the countries with the greatest influence are the United States and Saudi Arabia. In conclusion, this review can provide support for researchers and health professionals; therefore, it is recommended to encourage new bibliometric reviews in order to keep up with trends on this topic. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25944 Título: Quais as estratégias terapêuticas mais eficazes relatadas na literatura para o manejo clínico da hipomineralização de molares decíduos? Autor(es): Oliveira, Rômulo Gabriel Cruz de Abstract: Hypomineralization in primary teeth is a pathological condition with a complex and still unclear etiology that has increasingly attracted the interest of the scientific community due to its broad impact on the quality of life of pediatric patients. In this context, several studies aim to standardize diagnostic criteria and select the best strategies for the clinical management of this dental condition to promote improvements in oral well-being and avoid associated complications. For this systematic review, sources such as PubMed, Google Scholar SciELO, and BVS (Virtual Health Library) were consulted to analyze the most recent scientific productions relevant to the topic and answer the research question. The results show that the best approaches involve an accurate diagnosis of the extent and severity of the HMD and the use of minimally invasive techniques appropriate to each situation, combining the reliability of well-established techniques and materials with the innovative multimodality of new dental resources. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25917 Título: Reabilitação estética de dentes com mancha por tetraciclina por meio de facetas diretas em resina composta Autor(es): Garção, Michael dos Santos Abstract: Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in the treatment of several bacterial infections. However, its administration during odontogenesis may result in the incorporation of the drug into mineralized tissues due to its ability to bind to calcium ions, causing intrinsic tooth discoloration. The severity of pigmentation is related to the administered dose, duration of treatment, and stage of dental mineralization, and may present color variations ranging from yellow, gray, and brown shades. These alterations may compromise smile aesthetics and negatively impact the patient’s quality of life, potentially indicating the need for restorative approaches. In this context, direct composite resin veneers represent a conservative and effective alternative for the aesthetic rehabilitation of tetracycline-discolored teeth. The present study aims to report a clinical case of a 23-year-old female patient with tetracycline-induced tooth discoloration, submitted to the association of in-office dental bleaching and aesthetic rehabilitation through direct composite resin veneers, as well as to perform a literature review on therapeutic approaches for tetracycline-pigmented teeth. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25916 Título: Autopercepção e nível de conhecimento da halitose entre indivíduos atendidos nas clínicas do DOD-UFS Autor(es): Aguiar, Mariana Gois Abstract: Objective: To evaluate self-perception and the level of knowledge regarding halitosis among individuals receiving dental care at the undergraduate clinics of the Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Sergipe (DOD-UFS). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a structured questionnaire comprising 13 questions related to self-perception and knowledge of halitosis. Eighty volunteers attending the DOD-UFS dental clinics participated in the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Most participants reported experiencing halitosis at some frequency (71.3%) and perceived the condition mainly upon waking (86.3%). Lack of tooth brushing and prolonged periods without eating were the situations most frequently associated with oral malodor. An unpleasant taste in the mouth was the main self-perceived indicator of the condition (78.8%). Regarding knowledge about halitosis, more than half of the participants attributed its origin to the stomach. Seeking a healthcare professional and self-assessment were the most commonly recognized methods for detecting halitosis. In addition, 87.5% of the participants believed that halitosis may have psychological consequences, and dentists were identified as the healthcare professionals most qualified to diagnose the condition. Conclusion: A high frequency of self-perceived halitosis upon waking was observed, with self-assessment being the main method used to identify the condition. Despite recognizing the importance of professional evaluation, participants still held misconceptions regarding the etiology of halitosis. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
