Roasting is a key step for preparing sesame oil that leads to important changes in its organoleptic properties and quality. In this study, white seeds were roasted 20 min an electric oven at different temperatures (120, 150, 180, 210, 250 300 °C). The oils extracted from unroasted compared their chemical composition: fatty acids (including trans isomers), phytosterols, lignans (sesamin sesamolin), tocopherols total phenolic compounds, as well oxidative stability antiradical capacity. There...
During COVID-19 pandemic, children are confined at home, with changes in family routines.Evaluate sleep disorders among Brazilian and Portuguese during social distancing, its association parental perception of child's oral hygiene.In this cross-sectional study, parents/caregivers 3- to 15-year-old children, practicing distancing due answered an online questionnaire, from April 24-26, 2020, evaluating sociodemographic characteristics, school activities online, quality distancing. Two...
Numerous pieces of evidence have supported the therapeutic potential photobiomodulation (PBM) to modulate bone remodeling on mechanically stimulated teeth, proving PBM's ability be used as a coadjuvant treatment accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, there are still uncertainty and discourse around optimal PBM protocols, which hampers its consolidated clinical applicability. Given differential expression metabolic patterns exhibited in tension compression sides orthodontically...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical manifestation developmental absence maxillary permanent lateral incisors in Portuguese population. group comprised 16 771 patients observed between 1993 2000 at Faculty clinic. Two hundred nineteen were found have missing upper (131 females 88 males, with ages ranging 3 71 years), a 1.3 per cent Absence these teeth bilateral 44.7 patients; unilateral cases, 33 occurred on right side 21.9 left side. In children under 8 years...
We present association results from a large genome-wide study of tooth agenesis (TA) as well selective TA, including 1,944 subjects with congenitally missing teeth, excluding third molars, and 338,554 controls, all European ancestry. also tested the previously identified risk variants, for timing eruption orofacial clefts, TA. report associations between TA 9 novel variants. Five these variants associate variant conferring clefts. These contribute to deeper understanding genetic architecture...
Tooth agenesis affects 20% of the world population, and maxillary lateral incisors (MLIA) is one most frequent subtypes, characterized by absence formation deciduous or permanent incisors. Odontogenesis a complex mechanism regulated sequential reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, controlled activators inhibitors involved in several pathways. Disturbances these signaling cascades can lead to abnormalities odontogenesis, resulting alterations normal teeth number. Our aim was study...
Clear aligners (CA) are used 22 h daily, creating a bite-block effect. This work aims to (i) analyze occlusal changes before the beginning of treatment, after first set CA and use additional aligners; (ii) compare planned contacts with ones obtained CA; (iii) occurred reaching orthodontic goals 3 months using only at night; (iv) evaluate characterize which tooth movements did not allow treatment be completed end aligners, finally (v) verify possible relation between in contact areas...
Among the adjunctive procedures to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), ultrasound (US) is a nonsurgical form of mechanical stimulus that has been explored as an alternative currently available treatments. This study aimed clarify role US in OTM by exploring different stimulation parameters and their effects on biological responses cells involved OTM. Human fetal osteoblasts periodontal ligament fibroblasts cell lines were stimulated with at 1.0 1.5 MHz central frequencies power...
In spite of recent developments, data regarding the genes responsible for less severe forms hypodontia are still scarce and controversial. This study addressed hypothesis that agenesis maxillary lateral incisors (MLIA) is a distinct type hypodontia, by evaluating its familial aggregation occurrence other types ageneses or microdontia in probands' relatives. Sixty-two probands with MLIA were identified, information was collected on 142 first-degree Relative risk (RR) calculated compared...
The high proportions of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) represent one the most important technological and nutritional features olive oils. present study details acid (FA) composition autochthonous cultivars (Lentisca, Madural, Redondal, Rebolã, Verdeal, Verdeal Transmontana) produced from centenarian trees during five crop years (2013–2017). Olive cultivar highly influenced FA composition, namely, oleic (70.3% for Madural to 80.7% Redondal) palmitic (10.4% Lentisca 13.5% Verdeal)....
