Background: Macroalgae are sources of bioactive compounds due to the large number secondary metabolites they synthesize. Antarctica is characterized by extreme weather conditions and abundant aggregations macroalgae; however, current knowledge about their biodiversity potential for bioprospecting still unclear. This study aimed evaluate antimicrobial cytotoxic activity different extracts four macroalgae (Cystosphaera jacquinotii, Iridaea cordata, Himantothallus grandifolius Pyropia...
Abstract In this study, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles loaded with cannabidiol (CBD) were synthesized (PLGA@CBD microparticles) and embedded up to 10 wt% in a chondroitin sulfate/polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel matrix. vitro chemical, physical, biological assays carried out validate the potential use of modified hydrogels as biomaterials. The had spherical morphology narrow range size distribution. CBD encapsulation efficiency was around 52%, loading approximately 50%....
Abstract: To evaluate whether the depth and translucency of restoration influence color matching single-color resin composites, cylindrical cavities (2-and-4 mm depths) were prepared in acrylic teeth 62 shade (n=10). Restorations performed with single-shade composites (OC: Omnichroma, Tokuyama; VU: Vittra APS Unique, FGM) a control multi-shade (EO: Estelite Omega, Tokuyama). The was measured instrumental analysis (CIEDE2000 difference formula (ΔE00)) visual (0 to 4 scale). discs (2-and-4mm...
The aims of this research were: evaluate the chemical composition and cytotoxicity Cuminum cyminum (cumin), Anethum graveolens (dill), Pimpinella anisum (anise) Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) essential oils, as well their antifungal activity in vitro against ten Candida spp. isolates. oils was analyzed by means gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). assays were performed, using cell proliferation reagent WST-1 L929 mouse fibroblasts (20x103 well-1). determinate Minimum...
Studies based on dentists' clinical practice possess vital relevance to understand factors leading the clinicians choose by a specific technique over another. This study investigated which conduct therapies are adopted dentists in front of deep caries. Was evaluated how place work, post-graduate training and years since complete graduation influenced their decisions. A cross-sectional was performed using self-applied questionnaire with (n=276) Southern Brazil. Information regarding...
This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties, cell viability, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition capacity of several endodontic materials at vital pulp therapy: Pro Root MTA®, EndoSequence®, Biodentine®, MTA Angelus®, TheraCal LC®, BioC Repair®. The were prepared according manufacturer’s instructions. Antimicrobial tests conducted using a microcosm biofilm model, viability was assessed murine fibroblasts (L929), MMP activity analyzed through electrophoresis. results...
To evaluate the bleaching ability, effect on enamel surface and cytotoxicity of novel tooth-whitening formulations containing papain, ficin, or bromelain. Forty bovine dental discs (6 cm ×4 cm) were pigmentated randomly allocated into following groups (n = 10): Group 1, 20 wt% carbamide peroxide (control); group 2, 1% papain-based whitening; 3, ficin-based 4, bromelain-based whitening. The whitening gels prepared applied three times per day once a week, for 4 weeks. Color measurement was...
