Chitosan-based biomaterials exhibit several properties of biological interest for endodontic treatment. Herein, a low molecular weight chitosan (CH) solution was tested its antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and effects on dentine structure.The root canal 27 extracted uniradicular teeth were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with suspension E. randomly assigned to be irrigated either 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), 0.2% CH or sterile ultrapure water (W)....
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common epithelial malignancy of the oral cavity. Nodal and Cripto-1 (CR-1) are important developmental morphogens expressed in several adult cancers associated with disease progression. Whether CR-1 simultaneously same tumor how this affects cancer biology unclear. We investigate expression potential role both human OSCC. Immunohistochemistry results show that OSCC sample intensity staining correlated advanced-stage disease. However, was not observed...
Abstract Purpose/objectives The objective of this retrospective study was twofold: it aimed to investigate dental students’ communication and physical exam self‐assessment skills by comparing self‐evaluations with those completed faculty standardized patients (SPs). Second, compare SPs assessment skills. Methods At the end their first year training, students ( n = 127), participated in one SP encounter about an initial consultation. Students before receiving feedback from 19) 19). data...
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) persists today as a highly prevalent vascular cancer, often found in HIV patients. Studies have shown that angiopoietin 2 (Ang2), pro-angiogenic protein, is involved the pathogenesis of this tumor. However, expression protein has not been investigated oral KS lesions. Thus, we aimed to investigate Ang2 samples KS.Immunohistochemistry was used evaluate 14 cases, with degrees being analyzed semi-quantitative manner. In addition, clinical information such age, gender,...
This work aims to determine the efficacy of preprocedural oral rinsing with chlorine dioxide solutions minimize risk coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission during high-risk dental procedures.The antiviral activity chlorine-dioxide-based rinse (OR) was tested by pre-incubating severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pseudovirus in a dosage-dependent manner before transducing human embryonic kidney epithelial (HEK293T-ACE2) cells, which stably expresses ACE-2 receptor. Viral...
This study had a twofold outcome. The first aim was to develop an efficient, machine learning (ML) model using data from dental school clinic (DSC) electronic health record (EHR). identified patients with high likelihood of failing appointment and provided user-friendly system rating score that would alert clinicians administrators at risk no-show appointments. second identify key factors ML modeling contributed patient appointments.Using de-identified DSC EHR, eight algorithms were...

Only one simulation method for teaching oral biopsies has been reported in the literature.1 This employed pig tongues, which may not be feasible all academic institutions. Also, use of an animal model leads to absence anatomical simulation. Here, we describe two novel biopsy models second-year dental students. Two solutions were developed. A week prior each session, students their second year training received a 2-h lecture about techniques. faculty calibrations conducted including live...
