This study aimed to evaluate the impact of oral care and use chlorhexidine gluconate on prevention ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients admitted an intensive unit (ICU).
Peri-implantitis is characterized as a pathological change in the tissues around dental implants. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) provides molecular information from optical phenomena observed by vibration of molecules, which used biological studies to characterize changes and serves form diagnosis. this case-control study evaluated peri-implant disease using FTIR with attenuated total reflectance fingerprint region. 38 saliva samples were evaluated, 17 control group 21...
Abstract Background Inflammatory/immunological serum markers are useful for the early detection of organ dysfunction, helping diagnosis sepsis. Although blood biomarkers is a standard practice, use noninvasive samples (eg saliva) would be beneficial. Aim To investigate saliva hospitalized patients with and without sepsis identify levels inflammatory such as C‐reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) nitric oxide (NO). Methods Saliva were collected from 26 in...
This study evaluated the presence of cytokines (IL-1 β , IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1 α and TNF- ) human herpesvirus (HSV1, HSV2, EBV, CMV, VZV, HHV6, HHV7, HHV8) in saliva samples taken from subjects with without peri-implantitis. Forty-two periodontally healthy were divided according to peri-implant condition: peri-implantitis groups. The clinical parameters as probing depth, attachment level, plaque index, gingival bleeding, bleeding on probing, suppuration evaluated. For cytokine...
Background . The aim of this study was to assess the volumetric stability and bone formation in grafts with Bio-Oss autogenous at different proportions rabbit calvaria. Material Methods Ten rabbits received four titanium cylinders their calvaria randomly divided into following groups: Group I: (100%), II: (75%) + (25%), III: (50%) (50%), IV: (100%). After twelve weeks, animals were euthanized, samples collected for clinical histological analysis. Results Clinical analysis showed that Groups...
Abstract Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have inability to maintain the normal levels of protein metabolism products, blood pressure and hematocrit. Periodontal involves an inflammatory destructive process. Identification opportunistic viruses is extremely important as they are associated co‐morbidities. The objective this study was analyse presence human herpesviruses in saliva gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients CKD. Methods One hundred thirty one...
Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the salivary microbiome in healthy peri-implant sites those with peri-implantitis. Methods Saliva samples were collected from 21 participants V4 hypervariable region 16S rRNA gene sequenced using Ion Torrent PGM System (Ion 318™ Chip v2 400). NGS analysis composition determined by taxonomy assignment. Downstream bioinformatic analyses performed QIIME (v 1.9.1). Results Clinical differences according condition status found. Alpha...
The clinical benefits of minocycline in combination with thorough scaling and root planing (SRP) have been examined multicenter studies. aim this longitudinal investigation was to evaluate the response combined use locally delivered microspheres for 720 days individuals advanced chronic periodontitis.A total 26 aged 69 years (mean: 46.8+/-12.1 years) were included double-blind randomized trial. After randomization, 13 selected test group (TG) treated SRP plus subgingival at baseline 90, 180,...
To establish a profile of periodontal conditions in chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis and their risk.We included 115 hemodialysis. Clinical parameters assessed were: plaque index, gingival probing depth clinical attachment level. Patients were classified according to presence/absence severity risk.In 107 dentate (93%) the index was 1.53±0.78, 0.95±0.85, 2.2±0.6mm level 3.18±1.75mm. We observed that 1 patient (0.94%) did not have disease, 55 (51.40%) had slight, 28 (26.17%)...
Background. Torquetenovirus (TTV) is a small DNA virus constituting the human virome. High levels of TTV-DNA have been shown to be associated with immunosuppression and inflammatory chronic disorders. Aim. To assess possible association between salivary viral load in patients hospitalised due COVID-19 disease severity. Methods. Saliva samples collected from 176 infected SARS-CoV-2 were used investigate presence by use real-time RT-PCR. Results. The majority male severe COVID-19. Presence was...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence periodontal disease on biochemical parameters saliva, including salivary flow rate, pH, total protein, alkaline phosphatase activity and urea concentration, in individuals with chronic periodontitis. METHODS: Forty subjects were allocated into two groups: twenty without (control group) periodontitis (test group). Plaque index (PI), gingival (GI), probing depth (PD) clinical attachment level (CAL) obtained by a previously trained...
