Bone is the second most manipulated tissue after blood. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) may become a convenient source of MSC for bone regenerative protocols. Surprisingly, little known about significant biomolecules these produce and release being osteoinduced. Therefore, present study aimed at dosing 13 candidates chosen among representative cytokines, chemokines, growth factors within conditioned media osteodifferentiated undifferentiated ASCs. Two acknowledged osteoblastic cell models,...
The widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) in medical devices has opened a new scenario the treatment and prevention many diseases infections owing to unique physico-chemical properties NPs. In this way, silver (AgNPs) are known have strong antimicrobial activity, even at low concentrations, due their ability selectively destroy cellular membranes. particular, field dental medicine, AgNPs different kinds prosthesis matrixes could be fundamental tool immunodepressed patients that suffer oral...
Background: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a common inflammatory condition of the upper aerodigestive tract tissues related to effects gastroduodenal content reflux, characterized by wide variety clinical manifestations. The aim our study was evaluate possible association between dental disorders and LRP, focusing on role salivary changes. Methods: Patient's status evaluated according Schiff Index Sensitivity Scale (SISS), Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) Decayed, Missing, Filled...
Over the last decades, several materials have been proposed for fabrication of dental and mandibular prosthetic implants. Today, poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) resin is most spread material, due to its ease processing, low cost, aesthetic properties, weight, biocompatibility, biostability in oral cavity. However, porous surface (which favors adhesion microorganisms) weak mechanical properties lead wear or fracture) are major concerns. The inclusion engineered nanomaterials acrylic matrix...
: Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare, autosomal dominant skeletal with prevalence of one per million births. The main causes CCD are mutations in the core-binding factor alpha-1 (CBFA1) or runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), located at 6p21 chromosomal region. RUNX2 plays important roles osteoblast differentiation, chondrocyte proliferation and tooth formation. disease characterized by clavicular aplasia hypoplasia, Wormian bones, delayed closure cranial suture, brachycephalic...
The inclusion of both maxillary permanent central incisors is uncommon. This condition compromises face aesthetics, phonation and masticatory function. Therefore, early diagnosis essential to avoid complications failures. There are various reasons for inclusion, but supernumerary teeth the leading cause. Early causes removal rapid expansion palate determine a high probability success with spontaneous eruption impacted elements. However, it often necessary proceed surgical–orthodontic...
It is established that inflammation involved in the pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by promoting insulin resistance and impaired beta cell function pancreas. Among hypothesized independent risk factors implicated pathogenetic basis disease, periodontal infection has been proposed to promote an amplification magnitude advanced glycation end product (AGE)-mediated upregulation cytokine synthesis secretion. These findings suggest interrelationship between disease type diabetes,...
Background: Based on the holistic approach to prevention diabetic disease, role of periodontal inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is under intensive scrutiny. Data from clinical trials have shown benefit a therapy providing patients with improvement despite relatively disappointing long-terms response rates. The aim this study was investigate short-term glycemic control level and systemic inflammatory status after therapy. Methods: This randomized trial 6-months follow-up....
The current pilot study investigates the effects following removal of excessive gingival tissue, which is often necessary in fixed prosthodontic cases. aim to assess healing after diode laser gingivectomy prior prosthetic procedures. Materials and methods: process gingiva 41 teeth was assessed. parameters were examined: recovery time gingiva, possibility take impression at same visit, duration manipulation, bleeding during procedure, tissue adherence instrument, postoperative hemorrhage on...
The aim of the current article is to analyze and compare post-retraction gingival height changes resulting from six different types gingival-displacement methods, encompassing both conventional surgical approaches. study involved a comparative analysis 263 teeth (consisting 128 front teeth, 69 premolars, 66 molars) 23 patients. For investigation, three classic retraction methods were utilized, namely single-cord technique, paste Expasyl, Astringent. Additionally, techniques employed, which...
Background and objectives: oral alterations in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) patients are widespread include microstomia, periodontitis, telangiectasias, mandibular resorption, bone lesions, xerostomia. This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the differences between SSc (cases) healthy subjects (controls) regarding manifestations, quality of life (QoL), microcirculation alterations. Methods: plaque index (PCR), periodontal (PSR), DMFT, salivary flow rate, buccal opening were measured by...
BACKGROUND: Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic disease characterized by absence of any lesions and burning the oral mucosa associated to sensation dry mouth and/or taste alterations.The purpose our study estimate signs symptoms Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in patients with BMS investigate for existence an association between TMD.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-four were enrolled; subtype was established according classification Lamey.After gnathological evaluation, protocol European...
Purpose.Fixed retainers are used to stabilize dental elements after orthodontic treatment.Being it a permanent treatment, is necessary instruct patients about constant and continuous monitoring of their periodontal conditions correct oral hygiene.The aim this study was highlight the possible adverse effects bonded on parameters correlated health tissues.Materials methods.We selected 16 patients, under treatment in Orthodontics Department University Bari Dental School, who had undergone...
The number of patients undergoing a surgical resection the maxilla for oncological reasons is constantly increasing, most common complication which remains communication between oral and nasal cavities. On basis data arising from literature regarding treatment options maxillary post-surgical defects, obturator prosthesis used worldwide. We studied 25 (with at least 1-year follow up) rehabilitated by after leading to oro-nasal communication, providing on objective/subjective evaluation such...
Background: The roughness of denture base materials is mainly affected by inherent material features, the polishing technique, and operator’s manual skills. surface irregularities resin’s profile one components characterizing superficial topography dental prostheses, it a critical parameter for describing morphology. Generally, increment minimizes cleanability promotes rate bacterial adherence, affecting expression adhesins. purpose this in vitro study was to investigate four commercially...
The present article aims to describe the management of a malpractice dental implant case in patient with history oral bisphosphonates (BF) intake (alendronic acid every 15 days for 20 years) and perform narrative review recently published articles (2019–2023) on topic. A female rehabilitated 18 nails mandible years ago underwent two surgeries; first one included explantation nails; second insertion implants anterior region. At last follow-up (21 months from surgery one) no complications nor...
