Persistência de dentes decíduos em cães e avaliação da eficácia de diferentes métodos de esterilização da abraçadeira de nylon

Abstract

The supervised curricular internships in Veterinary Medicine took place at the Hospital EscolarVeterinária (H.E.V), belonging to the Veterinary Faculty of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM), which consisted of developing activities in pet clinics and ran from 1 February 2010 to 31 April 2010. Of the total of 608 cases treated as routine activities and other clinical procedures, the intern had the participation 35.36%, with the remainder being observed. The intern also participated directly in 30.1% of clinical cases, in 32.5% of surgical interventions and 11.6% of complementary diagnostic tests. Finally, he directly followed a case study and participated directly in a research work, considered relevant from the perspective of clinical and veterinary surgery, namely: Persistence of deciduous teeth in dogs and testing and comparing the effectiveness of the autoclave, microwave oven and quaternary ammonium (F10) as methods of sterilizing the nylon clamp. The internship aimed to: develop skills in the routine clinical and surgical activities of HEV, develop skills in research methodology, perform a summary report of the activities performed during the internship, monitor and describe one (1) case study of clinical or surgical relevance and test and compare the effectiveness of the different sterilization methods of the nylon clamp using: autoclave, microwave oven and quaternary ammonium (F10). In surgeries, the intern performed the preparation, control and monitoring of anesthesia, was a surgeon's assistant and monitored the animals' postoperative period. At admission, he did the daily clinical examination of patients, administration of medication and postoperative treatments. In the external consultation, he observed and performed the clinical examination, routine activities and other clinical procedures. The internship provided the trainee with the opportunity to deepen his knowledge and improve the clinical practice, develop skills and technical capacities necessary for the practice of Veterinary Medicine, in pets, to cultivate the spirit of research and team work During the internship, a study was carried out on the evaluation of the effectiveness of different sterilization methods of the nylon clamp. In the present study, five groups were created, of which, four groups were from different methods of sterilizing nylon clamps and the other group was from clamps not subjected to any sterilization method. From that study, it was found that in groups I and II there was microbiological growth after being subjected to sterilization by the vertical autoclave and the same of the clamps not subjected to any sterilization method. In the remaining groups, there was no microbiological growth. It is recommended that the nylon clamps should be subjected to sterilization, it is recommended to use the microwave oven as a practical sterilization method. Regular preventive and corrective monitoring of sterilization methods in the autoclave is necessary to ensure effective sterilization using culture tests. In the same period, a clinical-surgical case followed, namely persistence of deciduous teeth in a dog, of a Jack Russel breed, male, 2 years old, with a weight of 6.3 kg. After the clinical diagnosis, surgical removal of deciduous teeth was performed. The treatment was effective, taking into account that the animal did not show any signs of alteration in the oral exam after some time (3 months) of the surgery. Daily brushing was recommended as a way to avoid future dental tartar; perform an early diagnosis, make dental treatment as soon as the problem is diagnosed, avoiding dental malocclusions and malformations, with implications for chewing; and the animal must have a soggy feed for a period of 2 to 5 days.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
