The recent artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT seems to offer a range of benefits in academic education while also raising concerns. Relevant literature encompasses issues plagiarism and dishonesty, as well pedagogy educational affordances; yet, no real-life implementation the process has been reported our knowledge so far.
To investigate dental students' perceptions and concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, their coping strategies support resources, perceived stress levels.A customized 19-item survey scale (PSS) were applied to undergraduate students from US, Spain, Ireland, Chile, India, Brazil between April 10 July 5, 2020. Linear modeling mediation analysis used explore relationships among demographics, stressors, mechanisms, social support, RESULTS: A total of 4475 responded survey. The majority...
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) functions as a major mediator of bone remodeling and an essential regulator calcium homeostasis. In addition to the well-established catabolic effects (activation resorption) PTH, it is now recognized that intermittent PTH administration has anabolic (promotion formation). The aim this study was investigate whether in rodents would block alveolar loss observed rats when ligature model periodontitis used. Morphometric analysis showed (40 μg/kg) able protect tooth...
Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is generally a disease of the elderly population, but can occur in young patients exceptional cases. This study compares cellular and epigenetic features primary old‐age OA with those secondary 23‐year‐old patient developmental dysplasia hip. In addition, control cartilage from 14‐year‐old was compared that fracture neck femur (#NOF) to establish what extent latter useful for OA. Articular obtained discarded femoral heads after hip arthroplasty. MMP‐3, MMP‐9,...
To establish whether irrigant activation techniques, namely manual dynamic (MDA), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and sonic (SI), improve the tubular penetration of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) into root dentine when compared with conventional needle (CNI). Secondly, investigate if increasing NaOCl concentration and/or contact time improves performance these techniques.A total 83 extracted human maxillary permanent canines were decoronated to 15 mm, canals prepared a size 40, .10 taper....
Dental undergraduates will access the Internet searching for learning materials to complement their training; however, open content is not generally recommended by dental schools. This study aimed evaluate how students are using online video content.
The Copaiba oil has been used as an auxiliary treatment of inflammations, skin disorders and stomach ulcers, however, in dentistry, this "alternative" medicine not investigated yet. purpose study was to evaluate the influence topic systemic administration copaiba on alveolar wound healing after tooth extraction. Twenty-eight wistar male rats had their lower first molar teeth extracted. Subsequently, they were divided four groups, according performed: (a) socket irrigation with oil; (b)...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects alcohol and nicotine, when used alone or simultaneously, on alveolar bone loss area resulting from ligature-induced periodontitis in rats.Forty adult male rats received a cotton ligature first lower molar sulcular area, animals were randomly assigned different treatments (n = 10, each group) including daily peritoneal injections saline solution (group A), submitted self-administration 25% B), nicotine concentration 0.19 μl/ml C), plus D)....
Abstract Background The Internet has become an established learning tool in dental education where students can access online videos on a range of subjects. However, finding reliable peer‐reviewed content is not straightforward. Aim To evaluate the video offered by UK and Republic Ireland (RoI) Dental Schools their YouTube channels public websites. Methods Free RoI schools websites were watched set according to its purpose, as educational or non‐educational. number views, length, category...
An efficient synthesis of 17-α-estradiol 1 is described. Utilization in situ IR allowed for an online monitoring the key Mitsunobu reaction and development a safe reliable 78% overall yield over three steps. Benzoylation 17-β-estradiol 2 conducted at high regioselectivity under phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions, followed by to invert chiral center C-17 provide intermediate 5, containing core structure 1. Finally, desired active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) prepared saponification...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disorder, which results in several complications involving disturbance of mineral metabolism. Periodontal an infectious that appears to be important cause systemic inflammation CKD patients. characterized by clinical attachment loss (CAL) caused alveolar bone resorption around teeth, may lead tooth loss. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) key regulator osteoclastogenesis. Polymorphisms are the main source genetic variation, and single nucleotide polymorphisms...
Background. Periodontal disease leading to clinical findings such as increased periodontal probing depth involves a complex interaction between invading pathogenic microorganisms and the patient's immune system. Lymphotoxin alpha (LT-α) is potent multifunctional modulator that contributes toward susceptibility regulation disorders, including disease. Objective. In this study, we tested hypothesis chronic periodontitis (CP) associated with polymorphisms of LT-α gene. Materials Methods. A...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects intermittent treatment parathyroid hormone (PTH (1-34)) on bone regeneration critically-sized rat calvarial defects.Material and Methods: Thirty-two male rats were trephined (4mm fullthickness diameter), in central part parietal bones divided into 2 groups 16.The PTH group received subcutaneous injections (1-34) at 40µg/kg, 3 times a week control (CTL) vehicle same regimen.The sacrificed 4 weeks post-treatment regimen, extracted...
Anti-inflammatory agents have been reported to regulate bone healing. The aim of this study was investigate the effect a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (meloxicam) on healing in calvarial defects rats. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats were included. After anesthesia, linear incision made through skin scalp, full-thickness flap reflected and 4 mm round defect with trephine drill. animals randomly assigned one following treatment groups (9 each), including daily subcutaneous injections:...
Periodontitis is an infectious disease estimated to occur in approximately a third of adults over the age 35, being major cause adult tooth loss. The tissue destruction seems be regulated by four pathways. Plasminogen-dependent, phagocytic, osteoclastic and matrix metalloproteinase pathway. metalloproteinases (MMPs) pathway most relevant periodontal disease. purpose current study was review roles MMPs on disease, with emphasis ligament alveolar bone destruction. Particular attention given...
Diversas iniciativas governamentais têm sido realizadas para promover a inclusão de pessoas surdas no ensino superior. Entretanto, o ingresso um estudante surdo em curso Odontologia é extrema complexidade, devido vários motivos, dentre eles carência termos odontológicos Libras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi criar e disponibilizar sinais específicos Uma equipe multidisciplinar selecionou os quinze primeiros serem criados, quais tiveram seus conceitos explicações técnicas demonstrados docente...
Increasingly, dental education is using digital strategies to deliver teaching; however, not all of these learning materials are engaging and effective.To evaluate the perception knowledge retention undergraduate students after two different tools: quizzes PDF.Thirty-three from a Dental School in United Kingdom took part research. They received material derived Prosthodontic (Kennedy classification) or Paediatric dentistry content (Tooth classification). The same was delivered formats: quiz...
RESUMO Estudos demonstram que o oferecimento de conteúdo virtual parece tornar as disciplinas mais atraentes. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar perfil familiaridade e uso das Tecnologias Informação Comunicação (TIC) alunos ingressantes concluintes do curso Odontologia da Universidade Federal Campina Grande (UFCG).
