Background: Despite the benefits related to use of bisphosphonates and denosumab, medication-related osteonecrosis jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication. The purpose this study was investigate utility 4 biochemical markers including serum c-terminal telopeptide cross-link type I collagen (s-CTX), osteocalcin (s-OC), parathormon (s-PTH), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (s-BAP) as useful clinical tools help assess risk for MRONJ prior invasive oral surgery. Materials Methods: Twenty...
To investigate the pressure generated by different retraction materials using a novel gingival sulcus model.A model was made polymer frame filled with silicon. A sensor and sulcus-fluid simulation were embedded into silicon chamber to evaluate materials. Six sizes of Ultrapak cords (Ultradent, #000 - 3), 4 pastes (Expazen, Expasyl, Acteon, Access Edge, Traxodent) 2 gels (Sulcus Blue, Racegel) analyzed. The mean median pressure, interquartile range, standard deviation (SD) n = 10 repeated...
Case Description . This case report describes the successful management of a left mandibular first molar with combined periodontic-endodontic lesion in 35-year-old Caucasian woman aggressive periodontitis using concerted approach including endodontic treatment, periodontal therapy, and regenerative procedure an enamel matrix derivate. In spite anticipated poor prognosis, tooth healed. also discusses rationale behind different treatment interventions. Practical Implication...
Abstract Purpose To measure surface roughness before and after wear‐tests of two different prefabricated composite veneers compare them to ceramic human dental enamel. Materials Methods Roughness (Ra‐values) (Visalys Veneer Chairside (VIS) Componeer (COM)) were compared lithium disilicate Veneers (e.max CAD) enamel (DENT) in vitro. In total n = 45 specimens per material samples used for wear‐tests. Wear‐out tests conducted by abrasion with a toothbrush simulator (22,000 strokes/ 100 g load;...
Effective pain management is an essential component in the perioperative care of surgical patients. However, postoperative after maxillofacial fracture repair and its optimal therapy has not been described detail.In a prospective cohort study, 95 adults rated their on first day using questionnaire Quality Improvement Postoperative Pain Management (QUIPS) project. allowed for standardized assessment patients' characteristics pain-related parameters.Overall, mean maximal activity (numeric...
One strategy for treating cancer is to prevent metastatic spread. Matrix metalloproteinase are considered potential targets therapy because of their role in degrading the extracellular matrix and fostering tumor progression. In some models, small molecule 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (PGG) exhibited inhibitory properties against (MMP) related activity. This study explored whether PPG may limit spread oral squamous cell carcinoma. used Cal-27 cells, a line derived from carcinoma...
A cyst is defined as a pathologic cavity lined by epithelium. Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDC) are of non-odontogenic origin arising from epithelial remnants two embryonic nasopalatine ducts. These may form anywhere along the ducts’ course, which runs posterior palatal midline to soft tissue palatine papilla also known incisive papilla. NPDC often develop between 4th and 5th decades life with men being affected more than women (2:1 ratio). They typically asymptomatic but present swelling in...
