Methods designed as a randomized, parallel, controlled, double‐blinded clinical trial. Forty‐two patients were randomly assigned in test group control ). Patients had at least one recession ≥ 2 mm....

(1) Background: This study investigated the influence of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, and two different polyethylene glycol (PEG)-containing, UDMO-based co-monomers on Young’s modulus flexural strength, degree methacrylate C=C double bond conversion residual monomer elution experimental dental resins. (2) Methods: Urethane methacrylate-based was synthesised via a radical chain growth polymerization mechanism using PEG in order to improve mechanical properties. Dental resins were formulated or UDMO...

Cervicofacial odontogenic infections can have an aggressive evolution with life-threatening complications. Management in many cases be a challenge for clinicians, implying extra focus on individual inflammatory parameters. The aim of this study is to evaluate the markers included diagnosed cervicofacial phlegmon at moment hospitalization and after receiving surgical pharmaceutical treatment.A total 39 patients phlegmons that were admitted Maxillofacial Surgery Department Emergency Hospital...

The identification of the associative relationships between ischemic stroke (IS) and risk factors such as advanced age periodontitis is essential to design real screening protocols address them using primary secondary preventive policies. This study primarily aimed evaluate diagnostic performance 2018 European Federation Periodontology/American Academy Periodontology (EFP/AAP) case definition in detecting against 2012 Centers for Disease Control Prevention/American (CDC/AAP) a group IS...

Abstract Resin composite‐based dental materials can leach certain components into the oral environment, causing potentially harmful gingival biological effect. Gingival tissue is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that easily accessible, and be used as complementary approach for investigation material biocompatibility. Using MSCs (gMSCs), present study aimed to investigate cytotoxicity two classes restorative (ormocers resin composites) restore class II cavities close margin, in...

(1) Background: This study aimed to assess the periodontitis burden in systemic sclerosis patients and possible association between them, degree which some potential risk factors two diagnostic biomarkers may account for this association. (2) Methods: cross-sectional included a test group (systemic patients) control (non-systemic patients). Both groups benefited from medical, periodontal examination saliva sampling determine salivary flow rate inflammatory (calprotectin, psoriasin). A...

(1) Background: This cross-sectional investigation appreciated the role of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), several hematologic-cell markers, and salivary inflammation-related molecules [calprotectin (S100A8/A9), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), kallikrein] to predict periodontitis in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), arrhythmia, or both. Also, we relationship between inflammatory burden periodontal destruction type cardiac pathology. (2) Methods: Demographic, behavioral...

The aim of this study was to analyze whether the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from palatal tissue grafts harvested in order cover gingival recessions have basic characteristics stem cells. were processed using a special culture medium that stimulated development only undifferentiated cellular lines. Cells at passage 4 evaluated by flow cytometry examine expression specific surface markers and tested for multilineage differentiation capacity. These collected also investigated...

A new pathological entity with distinct clinicopathological features has been recently described and termed as juvenile spongiotic gingivitis. Histopathological associated are unique characterized by prominent intercellular edema (spongiosis) neutrophil infiltrate. The aims of this paper were to: introduce gingivitis to the dental pediatric communities, report three cases based on clinical histopathological findings, discuss most common differential diagnoses. documented at baseline...

The present study investigated the regenerative potential of connective tissues harvested from two palatal areas widely used as donor sites for muco-gingival surgical approaches. Connective tissue grafts (CTGs) were obtained by de-epithelialisation a free gingival graft (deCTG) and split flap approach previous site (reCTG). Two types mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) isolated named de-epithelialised MSCs (deMSCs) re-entry (reMSCs). cells characterised cellular functionality was investigated. CTGs...

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seen a violent and fast spread worldwide. severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) predominantly transmission through droplets aerosol with serious implications for dental settings. This article is based on recent research, guidelines issued by relevant authorities, as well the authors’ experience acquired their involvement in setting up an emergency care hub Cluj-Napoca, Romania, during COVID-19 lockdown. present aims to provide...

This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal status of a group Romanian systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients and investigate relationships between periodontitis SSc subtypes.This observational included diagnosed with limited (lcSSc) diffuse (dcSSc). Demographic data were collected from medical records. Each participant underwent full-mouth examination including Bleeding on Probing (BoP) index, Oral Hygiene (OH) Depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL). The was defined...

Periodontitis is a highly prevalent condition leading to continuous destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. It increases the risk for various systemic diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, screening periodontitis important. Screening measures can range from self-reported symptoms clinical full-mouth periodontal examination. The hypothesis our study was that parameters definition perform equally well in identifying patients. aim this develop, validate its internal consistency,...

To investigate the prevalence of periodontitis in a young population representative for North-western part Romania (Transylvania) and to identify possible risk indicators periodontitis. The study is cross-sectional epidemiological survey. subjects were students randomly sampled from three universities Cluj-Napoca high school neighboring city Bistrita. sample size was calculated. Overall, 623 aged 16–35 years evaluated, which 488 university 135 students. A structured questionnaire...

Restoration of noncarious cervical lesions with resin composites is one the treatment options, but retention restorations located at crown-root junction still a cause clinical concern. The aim this study was to evaluate adhesive properties three experimental and two commercial materials used restore cavities prepared on extracted teeth as well determine relative elemental composition these materials. We tested null hypothesis, which considered that behaviours different did not differ....

The resin composite restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) still faces some drawbacks mostly related to the quality marginal seal. This study attempts evaluate adhesive capacities two flowable and conventional hybrid restorations NCCLs having types margins. Our null hypothesis assumes same behavior different materials. relative composition dental–restoration structures was also measured. Thus, restored wedge-shaped cavities were realized on both buccal oral surfaces extracted...
