BACKGROUND: Recurrent aphthous ulcerations are common benign ulcerated lesions on the mouth, whose etiology is poorly understood, with controversial treatment and difficult to control in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cases of recurrent a focus treatment, diagnosis etiology. METHODS: This retrospective study Oral Diagnosis service Rio Grande do Norte Federal University Natal/RN. Data such as sex, age, race, location, smoking habits, types relapsing episodes, laboratory test...
This research evaluated the fungistatic and fungicidal activities of red propolis alcoholic extract (RPAE) against different Candida species isolated from chronic periodontitis cases, compared with chlorhexidine (CHX). Nineteen samples (C. albicans [n = 12], C. tropicalis 5] glabrata 2]) cases were analyzed. The activity both RPAE CHX using fluconazole parapsilosis (ATCC 6258) as a control. Fungistatic was analyzed based on Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference procedure...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the frequency of peri‐implant diseases and factors associated with its occurrence. Material methods One hundred fifty‐five patients dental implants were evaluated in this cross‐sectional study. Dental clinically radiographically to diagnose their condition, according Mombelli (Proceedings 3rd European Workshop on Periodontology, 1999, Quintessence, London). Associations between independent variables (socioeconomic, demographic periodontal characteristics)...
Because peri-implant mucositis may progress to peri-implantitis, effective treatment resulting in resolution of inflammation could prevent peri-implantitis. Current protocols for this condition are still unpredictable. The purpose study is analyze efficacy non-surgical patients with during a 6-month follow-up period.This controlled, randomized, double-masked clinical trial included 37 diagnosed mucositis, randomly assigned into test group (basic periodontal therapy + 0.12% chlorhexidine) 61...
To investigate dental students' perceptions and concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, their coping strategies support resources, perceived stress levels.A customized 19-item survey scale (PSS) were applied to undergraduate students from US, Spain, Ireland, Chile, India, Brazil between April 10 July 5, 2020. Linear modeling mediation analysis used explore relationships among demographics, stressors, mechanisms, social support, RESULTS: A total of 4475 responded survey. The majority...
Background/Objectives: Lip cancer represents one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in oral cavity worldwide. This study investigated prevalence, epidemiological profile, and survival rates lip squamous cell carcinoma cases at Liga Norte Riograndense Contra o Câncer (LNRCC) through a 15-year retrospective analysis. Methods: Data collection included sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors, tumor features, staging, treatment modalities from 348 patient records. Statistical...
Background: This study evaluated whether alendronate (ALD) influences bone healing around titanium implants inserted in ovariectomized rats and it provides a residual effect after its withdrawal. Methods: Bilateral ovariectomies were performed 87 Wistar one screw‐shaped implant was placed the tibiae. The animals divided into following groups: group SHAM (N = 15): sham surgeries; OVX ovariectomy; AT plus administration for 80 days; AW 14): 40 ET 17β estradiol or EW days. Bone‐to‐implant...
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth (VEGF) are proteins that stimulate the proliferation migration of cells. These have been described in many pathologic inflammatory conditions, but their involvement development periodontitis has not thoroughly investigated. This study compared immunohistochemical expression these proteins, involved angiogenesis hypoxia, by immunostained cells periodontal disease healthy gingival tissues. Gingival tissue samples were...
Introdução: No final do ano de 2019, ocorreu o surto um novo coronavirus em Wuhan. Esse coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, é agente etiológico da COVID-19, uma doença inflamatória multissistêmica, que pode levar a sérios danos pulmonares. Devido rápida disseminação doença, pandemia foi declarada oficialmente março 2020 e as principais medidas preventivas são uso máscara, higiene frequente das mãos, distanciamento físico etiqueta tosse. Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho apresentar relato experiência...
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate histometrically bone healing in surgically created dehiscence‐type defects around titanium implants treated with an association platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) and guided regeneration (GBR). Materials Methods: Ten male adult mongrel dogs were used, from which the three low premolars (P2, P3, P4) first molar extracted. Three months after teeth extraction, two implant sites bilaterally drilled, buccal dehiscences four placed. Dehiscences...
Anti-inflammatory agents have been reported as a bone loss mediator in periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate rats the impact of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (meloxicam) on ligature-induced periodontitis and its post-treatment effect after administration withdrawal.Seventy-five adult male Wistar were included. After anesthesia, mandibular first molar was randomly assigned receive cotton ligature sulcular position, while contralateral tooth left unligated. The animals one...
The aim of this observational study was to assess the degree patient satisfaction toward implant-supported prostheses. A questionnaire used with two scales (one consisting detailed adjectival and other numerical responses) regarding chewing, esthetics, speaking, comfort overall satisfaction. were administered a sample 147 patients treated implants data submitted Kappa statistic Chi-square test analyze association between dependent independent variables. High degrees (greater than 91%) found...

Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) is a common complication of the continuous use medications. This paper presents case PIGO hindering oral function and compromising hygiene aesthetics, which was treated with combination nonsurgical surgical periodontal therapies. A 39-year-old male patient referred for dental treatment several complaints, especially upper lower that hindered speech swallowing. Generalized deep probing pockets bone loss were detected. Diagnosis associated phenytoin...
