          Abstract

          Purpose: To evaluate the application of the maxillofacial miniplate 1.5 in the repair of unilateral mandibular osteotomies in cats. Methods: Twelve adult cats were divided into two groups. In group 1 (n=6), the osteotomy was performed in the body of the mandible, behind the 1st molar. In group 2 (n=6), the osteotomy was performed between the 4th premolar and 1st molar. The osteotomy was fixed with a titanium miniplate 1.5. Oral alimentation was reinitiated 24 hours after surgery. Cats were euthanized at 12 weeks postoperative. Results: Radiographs taken 1 week after surgery showed a radiolucent line. The osteotomy line was not more visible on the radiographs taken at 12 weeks postoperative. Macroscopic examination confirmed alignment and bone union of operated hemimandibles. Histological examination showed formation of woven bone within the osteotomy line. The percentage of bone tissue at these areas was measured by the histometry. There was no statistically significant difference between the values of group 1(75.07 ± 5.99) and group 2 (74.76 ± 8.54) (Mann-Whitney's test p= 0.469). Conclusion: We concluded that the use of miniplate 1.5 for the fixation of mandibular osteotomy in cats provided the main goals in the treatment of mandibular fractures: bone union, normal dental occlusion and immediate return to oral alimentation.

          Objetivo: Avaliar a fixação de osteotomias mandibulares unilaterais com miniplacas 1.5 em gatos. Métodos: Foram utilizados 12 gatos adultos divididos em dois grupos de seis animais cada. No grupo 1, a osteotomia foi realizada caudalmente ao 1º molar e no grupo 2, entre o 4º pré-molar e 1º molar. A osteotomia foi fixada com uma miniplaca 1.5 de titânio. A alimentação oral foi reiniciada 24 horas após a cirurgia. Os animais foram submetidos a eutanásia 12 semanas após a cirurgia. Resultados: A osteotomia pode ser notada como uma linha de radiolucência nas radiografias realizadas uma semana após a cirurgia. Essa linha de radiolucência não foi mais vista nas radiografias realizadas 12 semanas após a cirurgia. No exame macroscópico a hemimandíbula operada apresentava conformação semelhante à hemimandíbula contralateral. A união óssea pode ser confirmada por meio dos exames histológicos que demonstraram a presença de tecido ósseo esponjoso no local da osteotomia. Os exames histométricos demonstraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante nos valores observados de porcentagem de tecido ósseo na área de osteotomia das hemimandíbulas operadas dos gatos do grupo 1 (75,07 ± 5.99) e grupo 2 (74,76 ±8,56) (Teste de Mann-Whitney p=0,469). Conclusão: Os resultados deste experimento permitiram concluir que a fixação de osteotomias com miniplacas 1.5 em gatos garante os principais objetivos no tratamento de fraturas da mandíbula: união óssea, oclusão dentária normal e alimentação oral imediata.

          Enzyme and immunohistochemistry on undecalcified bone and bone marrow biopsies after embedding in plastic: a new embedding method for routine application.

          A simplified method of low temperature methyl and butyl methacrylate embedding (up -20 degrees to -15 degrees C) is demonstrated using a proper redox system of benzoyl peroxide and aromatic amine. This method combines the morphological superiority of plastic-embedded bone tissue and bone marrow sections with the advantages of specific enzyme histochemical and immunochemical markers. The method permits good preservation of morphological details, the survival of antigenic determinants and the retention of enzyme activities. The specimens were fixed in 1.6% formaldehyde and 5% sucrose in 0.02 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, washed in 0.02 M phosphate buffer and 5% sucrose, dehydrated with acetone and impregnated with monomers of embedding medium. All these steps were carried out at +4 degrees C. The method presented is especially suitable for enzyme histological and immunohistological diagnosis of primary and secondary bone tumours, soft tissue tumours, as well as myelo- and lymphoproliferative disorders of bone marrow biopsies. Examples are demonstrated with mono- and polyclonal antibodies and reaction products of hydrolytic enzymes.

            Miniplate fixation for repair of mandibular and maxillary fractures in 15 dogs and 3 cats.

            Maxillofacial miniplates and screws were used for skeletal fixation in 15 dogs and 3 cats that sustained a variety of mandibular and maxillary fractures. These implants were used as neutralization or buttress fixation in 11 caudal (junction of the ramus with the mandibular body) and 2 rostral mandibular fractures, 4 maxillary fractures, and 2 zygomatic arch fractures. All but one of the fractures healed with appropriate occlusion and excellent function. In one case of a rostral mandibular fracture, soft tissue dehiscence occurred accompanied by a loss of the fixation and subsequent distraction of the bone fragments; reasonable function was obtained by performing a rostral mandibulectomy. Plate contouring and application of the miniplates along the appropriate biomechanical lines of stress was easily performed and permitted the biomechanical principles of tension band fixation to be applied in most cases. Miniplate fixation, either used alone or in combination with other fracture fixation techniques, achieved sufficiently rigid skeletal fixation to provide uncomplicated healing and good to excellent functional and cosmetic results in 14 dogs and 3 cats.
