Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to apply a novel method obtain high‐quality images by cone‐beam computerized tomography (CBCT) that consistently allowed the determination dimensions palatal mucosa. Materials and Methods: Thirty‐one patients participated in study. At time CBCT scanning, wore plastic lip retractor wooden spatulas retract soft tissues away from teeth gingiva. thickness mucosa obtained at forty different locations on each patient. Results: Retraction lips cheek clear...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intraoral electrostimulation device, consisting stimulating electrodes, electronic circuit, a power source, in treating xerostomia. The device delivers through oral mucosa to lingual nerve order enhance salivary reflex. Methods was tested on sample patients with xerostomia due Sjögren's syndrome other sicca conditions 2‐stage prospective, randomized, multicenter trial. Stage I double‐blind, crossover stage designed compare effects...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence enamel defects and their risk factors on primary permanent dentitions prematurely born children full-term at Regional Hospital Asa Sul, Brasília, DF, Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty 5-10-year-old both genders were examined, being 40 (G1) full term (G2). demographic variables, medical history oral health behaviors retrieved using a questionnaire data obtained from clinical examination recorded. teeth examined presence...
The study of facial growth is explored in many fields science, including anatomy, genetics, and forensics. In the field forensics, it acts as a valuable tool for combating child pornography. present research proposes new method, based on relative measurements fixed references human face—specifically considering diameter iris (iris ratio)—for analysis association with age children sub-adults. experimental sample consisted digital photographs 1000 Brazilian subjects, aged between 6 22 years,...
To assess the level of knowledge and difficulties concerning hospitalized patients regarding preventive oral health measures among professionals working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).A cross-sectional survey was conducted 71 ICU. A self-administered questionnaire used to determine methods used, frequency, attitude toward care provided Brazilian ICUs. The variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentages). one-sample t-test between proportions significant differences...
Three different methods of instruction and motivation were used to assess the learning process ability preschool children in performing toothbrushing. Forty from a private nursery Brasília, DF, Brazil, divided into 2 groups according age (3-4 years old 5-6 old). The following reinforcement applied: I - audiovisual; II child as model; III individual instruction. Professional prophylaxis was then performed remained 48 hours without any kind oral hygiene. Plaque disclosing plaque index carried...
This study evaluated the prevalence of enamel defects and dental caries their risk factors on primary permanent dentitions prematurely-born children term children. Eighty were examined, 40 born prematurely (G1) (G2), in age group between 5 10 years. The demographic variables, medical history oral health behaviors recorded a questionnaire. teeth examined for presence deficiencies that registered. registered, focusing indices dmft (decayed, missing, filled teeth) DMFT teeth). results showed...
Whole saliva is a multiglandular secretion complex consisting of gingival fluid, desqua- mated epithelial cells, microorganisms, products bacterial metabolism, food debris, leukocytes mucus from the nasal cavity and pharynx. Saliva has many functions, including tissue repair, tamponage, protection, digestion, taste, antimicrobial action, maintaining tooth integrity antioxidant defense system. A decrease in salivary flow (hyposalivation) common disorder it estimated that approximately 20%...
Background. Plaque control and caries arrest still remain a challenge for dentists. Objective. This study was conducted to assess the effect of combined use chlorhexidine varnish fluoride on visible plaque index (VPI) white spot lesion (WS) remineralization in primary dentition. Methods. A total 80 caries‐active preschool children (3–5 years) were randomly divided into four groups. Group 1 received application every week during 4 weeks. 2 3 alternated applications served as (without any type...
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and genetic factors may have an important role in its severity. Polymorphisms the promoter regions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) genes been reported to cause changes production these cytokines. The aim this study was evaluate possible IL-6 (G-174C) factor (G-308A) polymorphisms, severity periodontitis elderly population.In study, group 65 women, comprising 17 patients with moderate periodontitis, 21 severe 27...
The development of veterinary dentistry has substantially improved the ability to diagnose canine and feline dental abnormalities.Consequently, examinations previously performed only on humans are now available for small animals, thus improving diagnostic quality.This increased need technical qualification professionals technological investments.This study evaluated use cone beam computed tomography intraoral radiography as complementary exams diagnosing abnormalities in dogs cats.Cone was...
Phagocytosis by neutrophils and monocytes constitutes the main defense mechanism against bacterial challenges in periodontitis. has already been evaluated, whereas phagocytic function of hardly addressed so far. Objectives: The aim this study was to assess phagocytosis Material Methods: sample included 30 subjects with severe periodontitis 27 control without periodontal disease. index (PhI) calculated as mean number adhered/ingested Saccharomyces cerevisiae per phagocytozing monocyte or...
