The inhibition of Streptococcus mutans by Coffea arabica extracts incorporated or not with natural coffee compounds was investigated the disk diffusion method. Additionally, turbidimetric test used to verify influence caffeine concentration on S. mutans. Extracts different samples Arabica showed antibacterial activity against inhibitory effect affected brewing method (filtered espresso) samples. Plain caffeine, trigonelline, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid and chlorogenic at 2.0 mg/mL...
The influence of sex hormones on the development left ventricular hypertrophy was investigated in baroreceptor-denervated rats. A significant increase (p less than 0.01) weight/body weight ratio observed male but not female rats 15 days after operation, compared to age- and sex-matched sham-operated This differential occurred despite a elevation arterial blood pressure both sexes. Castration prior sinoaortic denervation did change level hypertension caused reduction pretreatment denervated...
Sleep bruxism (SB) in children has been associated with several sleep characteristics, which may alter their pattern. This change affects the internal biological clock and consequently chronotype profile. The aim of this study was to evaluate existence an association between possible SB specific profiles characteristics. included 207 parents/guardians aged 3 12 years who were waiting for children's dental treatment at Pediatric Dentistry Clinic Federal University Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A...
Although resin composites are widely used in the clinical practice, development of recurrent caries at composite-tooth interface still remains as one principal shortcomings to be overcome this field. Objectives To evaluate activity against S. mutans biofilm model incorporating different concentrations ZnO-nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) and characterize their physicochemical properties. Materials Methods Different ZnO-NP (wt.%): E1=0, E2=0.5, E3=1, E4=2, E5=5 E6=10 were incorporated into a composite...
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the influence of conservative or invasive treatments on appearance sequelae in permanent successor teeth (SPT) after injuries support tissues anterior deciduous (ISTDT). Methods This cohort study accompanied 52 children with ISTDT up to complete eruption investigate presence not SPT. Trauma was clinically evaluated according International Association for Dental Traumatology. Sex, age at time trauma (ATT), type and severity trauma, (SDT), treatment...
The aim of the study was to investigate routine, sleep history, and orofacial disorders associated with children aged 3-7 years nocturnal bruxism.Children (n = 66) were divided into groups parent reported bruxism 34) those without disorder 32). Data about child's routine during day, awakening, headache frequency, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), hearing impairments obtained through interviews parents/caregivers. Electromyography examination used assess activity facial muscles. Multiple...
Introduction: One of the most frequent parents’ concerns is that oral antibiotic formulations induce dental damage in their children’s. This study aimed to assess cariogenic and erosive potentials 29 pediatric antibiotics. Materials Methods: Replicates each were analyzed for concentration sugars (sucrose, glucose fructose) sorbitol by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The pH was determined digital pHmeter. Titratable acidity triplicate using same pHmeter gradual addition 0.1N...
This study aimed to assess the impact of parent reported sleep bruxism, trait anxiety and sociodemographic/socioeconomic features on quality life related oral health (OHRQoL) children their families.Healthy aged 3-7 years, with (n=34) without (n=32) bruxism were select for this study. Data was collected by applying following instruments: The Early Childhood Oral Health Scale (B-ECOHIS) Trait-anxiety (TAS). characteristics obtained interviews parents. Multiple logistic regression tests...
To evaluatein vitro the antibacterial activity, antibiofilm effect and cytotoxic potential of mouthwashes containing Brazilian red propolis with or without fluoride.The minimum inhibitory bactericidal concentrations (MIC MBC) against S. mutans, sanguinis, salivarius L. casei were determined for RPE mouthwashes. A cariogenic biofilm aforementioned bacteria was formed over cellulose membrane disks (N = 30, 13 mm), which submitted 1 min to following mouthwashes: plain mouthwash base; 0.05% NaF;...
Background: Bruxism is a repetitive jaw–muscle activity characterized by the clenching or grinding of teeth and/or bracing thrusting mandible.Objective: This study assessed parents/guardians' knowledge nocturnal bruxism in children/adolescents.Method: A cross-sectional using validated questionnaire was carried out on 134 Brazilian guardians. Data were analyzed descriptively and through chi-square test to assess association if guardians reported causes consequences bruxism.Results: Mothers...
