Background: The success of implant‐supported restorations requires detailed treatment planning, which includes the construction a surgical guide. Recently, computer‐aided rapid prototyping has been developed to construct guides in an attempt improve precision implant placement. aim present study was evaluate match between positions and axes planned placed implants when stereolithographic guide is employed. Methods: Six used four patients (three women, one man; age from 23 65 years old) were...
The interproximal dental papilla is considered an essential component of the anterior and posterior regions maxilla mandible. absence this structure has esthetic phonetical consequences lateral food impaction problems occur with implant-supported prosthesis. aims present study were to: 1) evaluate effect vertical horizontal distances between adjacent implants (group a tooth implant 2) on presence papilla; determine whether interaction might be associated incidence papilla.In 48 patients, 96...
This study evaluates the influence of 2 commercially available dental implant systems on stress distribution in prosthesis, abutment, implant, and supporting alveolar bone under simulated occlusal forces, employing a finite element analysis. The implants abutments evaluated consisted stepped cylinder connected to screw-retained, internal, hexagonal abutment (system 1) conical solid, 2). A porcelain-covered, silver-palladium alloy was used as crown. In each case, simulated, 100-N vertical...
Background: Computer‐aided dental implant placement seems to be useful for placing implants by using a flapless approach. However, evidence supporting such applications is scarce. The aim of this study evaluate the accuracy and complications that arise from use selective laser sintering surgical guides immediate definitive prosthesis installation. Methods: Sixty 12 prostheses were installed in patients (four males eight females; age range: 41 71 years). Lateral (coronal apical) angular...

Different surgical techniques have been used to treat gingival recessions. This preliminary study compared clinical findings for the treatment of isolated defects using a coronally positioned flap associated with subepithelial connective tissue graft or an acellular dermal matrix graft.Ten subjects bilateral and comparable Miller Class I II were selected. The > =3.0 mm deep assigned randomly test group, which was treated matrix, control graft. Probing depth (PD), attachment level (CAL),...
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate on salivary load SARS-CoV-2.A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed 100 participants positive for SARS-CoV-2. In test group (n = 50), volunteers gargled with a mouthwash containing 15 ml 1 min, while control 50) used placebo. Saliva samples were obtained before (baseline) and 5 60 min after using solutions. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays (qRT-PCR) carried out...
To estimate the automated biofilm detection capacity of U-Net neural network on tooth images.Two datasets intra-oral photographs taken in frontal and lateral views permanent deciduous dentitions were employed. The first dataset consisted 96 before after applying a disclosing agent was used to validate domain's expert annotation (intra-class correlation coefficient = .93). second comprised 480 photos, with or without orthodontic appliances, agents, train segment biofilm. Dental labelled by...
This investigation examined the impact of a 17-d training period (that included basketball-specific training, sprints, intermittent running exercises, and weight prior to an international championship competition) on salivary immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels in 10 subjects (athletes staff members) from national basketball team, as biomarker for mucosal immune defence. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected at rest beginning preparation Pan American Games 1 d before first game. The recovery...

J Strength Cond Res 23(7): 1968-1973, 2009-It has been suggested that several parameters of mucosal immunity, including salivary A (s-IgA), are affected by heavy exercise either field sports or the laboratory environment. Few observations have made during true sporting environment, particularly professional soccer. We tested hypothesis...
Abstract Aim The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence destructive periodontal disease and its risk indicators in adult Kiriri Indians from Northeast Brazil. Materials Methods Full‐mouth examinations were performed on a sample 215 (≥19 years). Bivariate analyses logistic models applied assess associations between periodontitis putative factors. Results Prevalence clinical attachment loss ≥3, ≥5 ≥7 mm 97.8%, 63.8% 30.8% respectively. Percentage teeth per individual...
Background: The clinical choice of the appropriate surgical technique aiming at root coverage relies, among other factors, on number adjacent gingival recessions. This study aimed to clinically evaluate effectiveness and predictability multiple recessions using a modified coronally positioned flap associated with subepithelial connective tissue graft. Methods: Ten non‐smoking, healthy subjects (five men five women; mean age, 28.7 years) presenting 29 Class I or II were enrolled. Each patient...
Background: There is a positive correlation between the course of periodontal disease and psychosocial stress status. Stress leads to activation hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis, resulting in increased cortisol release. The present study evaluates effect two different hydrocortisone concentrations on mRNA expression matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) tissue inhibitor (TIMPs) cultured, human gingival fibroblasts. Methods: Gingival fibroblasts were stimulated with 10 −7 or −9 M for 24 hours;...
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 is detected in normal oral mucosa and several lesions, including squamous cell carcinoma, condyloma acuminatum, verruca vulgaris, focal epithelial hyperplasia, periodontal diseases. It was hypothesized that HPV may be involved breakdown tissue acts as a reservoir for the virus. Therefore, this study, prevalence of HPV-16 gingival Brazilians with health or disease investigated.Fifty-six samples from subjects chronic periodontitis, 26 gingivitis, 22 healthy...
