Human periapical cyst mesenchymal stem cells (hPCy-MSCs) are a newly discovered cell population innovatively collected from inflammatory cysts. The use of this biological waste guarantees source without any impact on the surrounding healthy tissues, presenting valuable potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. In present study, hPCy-MSCs were collected, isolated, seeded three experimental mineral-doped porous scaffolds produced by thermally-induced...
This study aimed to investigate the biocompatibility, osteogenic and antibacterial activity of biomedical devices based on Magnesium (Mg) Alloys manufactured by Superplastic Forming process (SPF) subjected Hydrothermal (HT) Sol-Gel Treatment (Sol-Gel). Mg-SPF (Mg-SPF+HT) (Mg-SPF+Sol-Gel) were investigated. The biocompatibility Mg-SPF+Sol-Gel Mg-SPF+HT was observed indirect direct cytotoxicity assays, whereas colonization sample surfaces assessed confocal microscopy. qRT-PCR analysis...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence preliminary phosphoric acid etching on microleakage a self-adhering flowable composite and self-etch adhesive used in combination with proprietary composite.Standard Class V cavities were prepared buccal side 20 extracted sound human molars. Specimens randomly divided into five groups: (1) Gel Etchant/Optibond FL/Premise Flowable; (2) Vertise Flow; (3) Optibond XTR/Premise (4) Etchant/Vertise (5) Flowable (Kerr). interfacial sealing ability...
To evaluate the effects of repeated autoclave sterilization cycles on surface topography conventional nickel-titanium ( NiTi ) and titanium nitride TiN )-coated rotary instruments.A total 60 instruments, 30 ProTaper (Dentsply Maillefer) -coated AlphaKite (Komet/Gebr. Brasseler), were analysed. Instruments evaluated in as-received condition after 1, 5 10 cycles. After sterilization, samples observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), chemical analysis was performed each instrument with...
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is characterized by ossification of different entheseal sites. Several metabolic factors have been suggested to be involved in DISH development. We assessed the prevalence and its relationship traditional vascular risk a cohort patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases.Among 521 consecutive admitted heart diseases rehabilitation program our Rehabilitative Cardiology Unit, only those (n = 436) recent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG),...
Abstract Background The routine application of dental implants for replacing missing teeth has revolutionized restorative and prosthetic dentistry. However, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) evaluations structures adjacent to the are limited by metal artifacts. There several methods reducing artifacts, but this remains a challenging task. This study aimed examine effectiveness artifact reduction (MAR) algorithms in identifying injuries inferior alveolar canal CBCT images. Method In vitro...
to compare conventional nanohybrid (Ceram.x Spectra) and ormocer-based (Admira fusion) dental composite resins effects on human pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in terms of cytotoxicity, self-renewal, migration osteogenic differentiation. hDPSCs were cultured presence different dilutions (undiluted, form 1:2 1:100) CeramX (CX) Admira fusion (AD) eluates viability assay standard or conditions performed. Samples prepared according ISO 10993–12. In addition, apoptosis, self-renewal activity evaluations...
The aim of the study was to compare in Class V composite restorations marginal leakage measurements obtained with microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations.Class cavities were prepared on 10 human molars restored using Optibond FL (Kerr, Orange, CA, USA) Premise Flowable (Kerr). Sealing ability evaluated by assessing silver-nitrate penetration depth along enamel dentin margins. Leakage quantified a scoring system. Micro-CT analysis provided 502...
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans teeth with ceramic brackets with/without coated archwires. Material and Methods In this in vitro study, 10 were bonded maxillary anterior from second premolar one side other on dry human skull. CBCT (85 kVp, 8 mA, 14.5 s) taken twice presence absence nickel–titanium (NiTi) The skull was placed water container soft tissue simulation during...
Abstract Objective This study investigates the frequency and characteristics of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). Background (OCD) is a chronic condition involving intrusive thoughts (obsessions) repetitive behaviors (compulsions), while personality disorder characterized by specific traits such as perfectionism, rigidity need for control. Both conditions frequently overlap, but their prevalence...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a frequent cause of death among elderly. Patients affected by lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LE-PAD) seem to be particularly at high risk for AAA. We aimed this study assessing the prevalence and clinical predictors presence AAA in homogeneous cohort LE-PAD patients intermittent claudication.We performed an abdominal ultrasound 213 consecutive with documented (ankle/brachial index ≤ 0.90) attending our outpatient clinic claudication. For each...
