This randomized double-blind clinical trial compared tooth sensitivity (TS), bleaching efficacy, and cytokine levels after applying in-office treatments containing 15% 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP15% HP35%, respectively). Twenty-five volunteers were randomly assigned to receive HP15% or HP35% treatment. The agent was applied in three 15-min applications per session. Two sessions separated by a 1-week interval. participants scored TS using visual analog scale numerical rating scale. Bleaching...

The aim of the study was to evaluate, by means push-out test, effect anatomical customization fiber post on bond strength a self-adhesive resin cement. Twelve endodontically treated, human, upper central incisors were randomly divided into two groups (n = 6): control (glass posts cemented with Relyx® U200) and customized anatomically translucent composite Relyx U200). roots sectioned three slices, cervical, middle, apical, photographed digital camera attached stereomicroscopic loupe. images...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether immersion a denture surface in lemongrass extract (LGE) has effects on C. albicans biofilms, human cell viability and surface. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) minimal fungicidal (MFC) were performed for LGE against albicans. For biofilm analysis, discs fabricated using acrylic resin with roughness standardization. biofilms developed saliva-coated discs, the at MIC, 5XMIC, 10XMIC investigated during formation after maturation....
The adhesive systems and the techniques currently used are designed to provide a more effective adhesion with reduction of protocol application. objective this study was evaluate bond strength universal on enamel in different etching modes (self-etch total etch).The mesial distal halves 52 bovine incisors, healthy, freshly extracted, were divided into seven experimental groups (n = 13). treated accordance following conditions: FUE-Universal System - Futurabond U (VOCO) etching; FUWE without...
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of five different mouthwashes through measurement plaque index. Materials and methods Fifty subjects took part in this blind study, randomized into blocks groups according to active ingredient mouthwash: CHX group (0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate), essential oils (EO) group, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) Tri (triclosan) Hamamelis virginiana (HV) group. All were evaluated for a reduction bacterial index at 7, 14 21 days. Results There was significant...
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between tooth loss and signs symptoms temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Materials methods One hundred fifty patients with an average age 49.2 (±14.06) years were divided into three groups (n = 50/group) according degree loss: GI (dentate – control), GII (edentulous), GIII (partially dentate). After performing anamnesis clinical examination, a questionnaire used, so that could fill in information on TMD. analyzing...
