This pilot study evaluated the clinical efficacy of a mouthwash containing 1% Matricaria chamomilla L. (MTC) extract in reducing gingival inflammation and plaque formation patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled enrolled total 30 males females (age, 10-40 years) appliances minimum 20 natural teeth. The participants were allocated to three groups (n = 10 each) asked rinse 15 mL placebo, 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX), or MTC...
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the tooth-supporting tissues. This study evaluated anti-inflammatory and antiresorptive effects of milk kefir (MK) on periodontitis in rats. Micro-Raman spectroscopy was performed MK at different fermentation times to verify presence Lactobacillus kefiri. From these results, Wistar rats were divided into following groups: C (Control); EP (experimental periodontitis); K1 (animals received with one day fermentation); K1+EP; K4...
Temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) arthritis is a common cause of orofacial pain. In the present study, modulatory effects N ‐methyl‐ d ‐aspartate receptors NMDA ‐ R s) and magnesium were investigated in hypernociception. Male Wistar rats received an intra‐articular injection carrageenan C g) , mechanical hypernociception was measured. The NMDA‐R antagonist, MK ‐801, chloride M g l 2 administered before induction. Magnesium deficiency promoted by feeding synthetic magnesium‐free diet for 9 g....
Background: Acupuncture has shown the capability of modulating immuno‐inflammatory response host. This study aims to evaluate effects electroacupuncture (EA) on ligature‐induced periodontitis in rats. Methods: Thirty‐two animals were divided into four groups: 1) control; 2) experimental (EP); 3) sham‐treated (EP/EA‐sham); and 4) treated with EA (EP/EA). For EP groups, a ligature was placed around right mandibular first molars at day 1. Sessions or EA‐sham assigned every other day. treatment,...
Electroacupuncture (EA) and cannabinoids have been reported to anti-inflammatory antinociceptive effects in animal models of arthritis. Male Wistar rats were injected with saline or zymosan (2 mg) into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). EA (10 Hz, 30 min) was performed 2 h after 1 before administration. AM251 AM630 (3 mg/kg, i.p.)were administered treatment. Mechanical hypernociception accessed Rats sacrificed 6 administration removed for histopathological analysis. The gene expression CB...
This study investigated the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on zymosan-induced acute arthritis rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Male Wistar rats were injected with saline or zymosan (control group; 2 mg) into left TMJ. Low frequency EA (10 Hz, 30 min) was performed at acupoints (LI4, LI11, ST36, ST44) sham points h after 1 before administration. Mechanical hypernociception accessed by electronic Von Frey method Rats sacrificed 6 administration...
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that causes bone loss. Some patients do not respond well to the classic treatment and need therapies minimize loss, main sequel of disease.
The stylohyoid process is a cylindrical bony structure surrounded by important anatomical structures including vessels and nerves.Calcification elongation of the ligament complex over 30 mm may be associated with neck facial pain, known as Eagle's syndrome.However, bilateral ossified elongated devoid symptoms.We report 79-year-old symptom-free female who presented on routine conventional dental radiographic exam an 80.96 pseudoarticulated in left side 75.85 other.On CAT scan, both processes...
Aim: The aim of this study was to verify the pain behavior electroacupuncture (EACP) in rabbit tooth-pulp assay. Methods: Albino rabbits weighing 1.5-2.0 kg) were pretreated with saline or morphine (5mg/kg, e.v.) 10 min before nociceptive test (NT). In another group, EACP (rectangular pulses, f1=2 Hz, f2=0.1 s, 3 mA) applied acupoints and sham points, during NT. After 120 min, withdrawn threshold measured every until initial achieved. Results: EACP, using Yintang, ST4 ST5 acupoints, induced...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of inhibitors fractalkine pathway in hyperalgesia inflammatory and neuropathic orofacial pain male rats morphological changes microglia satellite glial cells (SGCs). Rats were submitted zymosan‐induced arthritis temporomandibular joint or infraorbital nerve constriction, treated intrathecally with a P 2 X 7 antagonist, cathepsin S inhibitor p‐38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor. Mechanical was evaluated 4 6 h following...
Formaldehyde (FA) is commonly used in cadaver fixation for years. FA vapors are released during the dissection process and macroscopic study of preserved anatomical pieces, raising their concentration Anatomy laboratory, causing greater exposure students teachers. Therefore, objective this was to investigate toxic reactions 37 students, through a questionnaire, produced by preservation cadaveric material Anatomy, Morphofunctional Department, Faculdades Integradas de Patos (FIP), Brazil. Of...
