To analyze the prevalence and associations between dental anomalies detectable on panoramic radiographs in a sample of non-orthodontic growing subjects.For this cross-sectional study, digital 5005 subjects were initially screened from single radiographic center Rome. Inclusion criteria were: who aged 8-12 years, Caucasian, had good diagnostic quality radiographs. Syndromic subjects, those with craniofacial malformation, or orthodontic patients excluded led to 4706 [mean (SD) age = 9.6 (1.2)...

Abstract Background The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence malocclusions, oral habits and need for orthodontic treatment in a sample 7- 15-year-old Albanese schoolchildren. Methods final comprised 2,617 subjects (1,257 males 1,360 females), all orthodontically untreated. Occlusal relationship functional analysis were recorded subjects. rates dental health component index (IOTN) calculated. Comparisons between genders performed IOTN grades (chi-square tests). Results Class...

A number of studies have demonstrated that consuming almonds increases satiety but does not result in weight gain, despite their high energy and lipid content. To understand the mechanism almond digestion, present study, we investigated bioaccessibility lipids from masticated during vitro simulated human determined associated changes cell-wall composition cellular microstructure. The influence processing on release was assessed by using natural raw (NA) roasted (RA). Masticated samples four...

Aim of this in vitro study was to analyze structural properties two different polymeric orthodontic aligners, Exceed30 (EX30) and Smart Track (LD30), before after use. Forty patterns aligners were randomly selected: 20 LD30 EX30, worn intra-orally for 14±3 days, 22 h/day. From each aligner, 10 specimens prepared from buccal surfaces the incisor region by cutting samples 5×5 mm under a stereomicroscope. All subjected Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, micro-Raman X-ray diffraction,...

Abstract Phloretin and phlorizin are the two strong natural antioxidants whose biological pharmacological applications rapidly growing in different human pathological conditions. The neuroprotective activity of flavonoids has been analyzed on cell culture neuroblastoma cells. cells evaluated by testing vitality, mitochondrial transmembrane potential ROS production, antioxidant enzymes detection, activation caspase 3, DNA damage, protein carbonylation, lipid peroxidation, superoxide anion...

Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that distinguished from other types for its peculiar characteristics regulated by iron accumulation, increase in ROS, and lipid peroxidation. In the past few years, experimental evidence has correlated ferroptosis with various pathological processes including neurodegenerative cardiovascular diseases. also involved several cancer because it been shown to induce tumor death. particular, pharmacological induction ferroptosis, contributing inhibition...

Background: The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to assess oral and functional conditions, prevalence malocclusions, habits in a population schoolchildren Rome (Italy). Methods: sample included n. 1033 subjects, between 6 14 years age, attending public schools Rome. Oral health condition, occlusal relationship, analysis were charted for all subjects. rate dental element calculated. To evaluate relationship variables examined, Pearson’s Chi-square test used significative findings...
