This study aimed to compare the levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) between apical periodontitis lesions with different clinical histological features. Based on data history disease, 100 human were categorised as either asymptomatic or symptomatic lesions. According examination, divided into periapical granulomas radicular cysts. Pulp tissues 25 impacted wisdom teeth used controls. Homogenised tissue samples centrifuged...

The oral cavity has been proposed as a reservoir for H. pylori that could be responsible the refractoriness of gastric infection to triple therapy (antibiotics, antimicrobials, and proton pump inhibitors). aim this study was evaluate efficiency combined periodontal vs. alone, in eradication persons with subgingival biofilm. Individuals positive their samples, determined by nested PCR, were treated either or alone. Our results indicate 77.3% those exhibited successful pylori, compared 47.6%...

Abstract : Apoptosis is a genetically regulated process involved in tissue size regulation, morphogenesis, and elimination of damaged cells. A pallet genes the control apoptosis, such as bcl‐2 family whose oncogenic potential has been demonstrated oral tumorigenesis. Different members may promote or inhibit apoptosis by synthesizing anti‐ proapoptotic proteins. One antiapoptotic proteins, bcl‐2, with crucial role regulation was object our study. By means immunohistochemistry we estimated...

The placement of fixed orthodontic appliances may lead to increased plaque accumulation and changes in subgingival microflora. aim this study was examine the frequency microflora that occur after removal appliance using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This included 33 patients, who were divided into two groups. Subgingival samples collected from right upper incisor (U1) first molar (U6). In group A, taken three times: before (T1), one month (T2), 3 months (T3). B also PCR method used...

ABSTRACT Background The influence of gastric Helicobacter pylori infection on the development oral pathoses remains unclear. aim this study is to examine H. occurrence halitosis and coated tongue. Materials methods Ninety-eight patients with dyspepsia were included in their salivary samples biopsies analyzed for presence by Nested-PCR. Halitosis tongue assessed at initial examination 3 months after systemic eradication therapy against . Results Gastric 66 positive Only one saliva sample was...

INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues teeth and a major cause tooth loss in adults. The onset progression periodontal attributed to presence elevated levels consortium pathogenic bacteria. Gram negative bacteria, mainly strict anaerobes, play role. OBJECTIVE present study aimed assess main types microorganisms involved aetiopathogenesis disease: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Eikenella corrodens, Treponema denticola,...

Introduction. Pathogenesis and some characteristics of periodontitis cannot be fully explained by bacterial etiology alone. Herpes viruses may bridge the gap between clinical molecular understanding periodontal destruction. Objective.

We report here the development of a simple and low-cost intelligent vacuum sensor based on multipurpose thermopile MEMS chips. Our devices have p+Si heater two thermopiles with 30 p+Si/Al thermocouples each. Thermal electrical isolation is provided by sandwich membrane (residual n-Si sputtered oxide). The utilizes for its mode operation modified version an existing processing module we developed our piezoresistive sensors.
