The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects four weeks an oral health optimized diet on periodontal clinical parameters in a randomized controlled trial. experimental group (n = 10) had change low carbohydrates, rich Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins C D, antioxidants fiber for weeks. Participants control 5) did not their dietary behavior. Plaque index, gingival bleeding, probing depths, bleeding upon were assessed by dentist with pressure-sensitive probe. Measurements...
Enterococci have gained significance as the cause of nosocomial infections; they occur food contaminants and also been linked to dental diseases. E. faecalis has a great potential spread virulence well antibiotic resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer. The integration food-borne enterococci into oral biofilm in-vivo observed. Therefore, we investigated determinants 97 isolates from cavity, food, clinical specimens. In addition, phenotypic expression gelatinase cytolysin were tested,...
The interaction of fluoride with plaque and the underlying enamel was studied in an artificial mouth after topical application three different solutions. Streptococcus mutans cells were grown on windowed bovine blocks to form plaque. Plaque-covered clean samples rinsed NaF, amine Na-MFP (200 ppm F-, twice a day for 10 min 3 consecutive days). Amine NaF caused F- increments (190 72 ppm), had no effect. In concentration increased but not Na-MFP. Underneath higher than all agents; most...
The elution of monomers from composite materials influences the biocompatibility dental restorations. purpose present study was to investigate [bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), urethane (UDMA), and bisphenol (BPA)] two light‐cured (nanohybrid ormocer) a chemically cured material, after different curing times (0, 20, 40 80 s) storage periods (24 h, 7 d, 28 1 yr curing). Each specimen stored in ml 75% ethanol. This medium renewed 24 yr....
The formation and composition of dental plaque biofilm in vivo are important factors which influence the development gingivitis, caries periodontitis. Studying vitro models can cause an oversimplification real conditions oral cavity. In this study, bovine enamel slabs were fixed individual acrylic appliance situ to quantify using multiplex fluorescence hybridization (FISH) confocal laser scanning microscopy. Each five oligonucleotide probes used for FISH was specific either eubacteria or one...
Abstract Biofilm formation was evaluated on the following titanium and zirconia implants in vivo : machined (Ti‐m), modified (TiUnite ® ), (ZiUnite alumina‐toughened (ATZ‐m), sandblasted (ATZ‐s), (TZP‐A‐m). Bovine enamel slabs were used as controls. Surface morphologies examined by atomic force (AFM) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface wettability also determined. Twelve healthy volunteers wore a splint system with tested materials. After 3 5 days materials fluorescence situ...
Aim of this study was to investigate the influence an anti-inflammatory diet on different parameters in patients with gingivitis.Thirty were randomly allocated experimental and a control group stratified by their plaque values. The had change low processed carbohydrates animal proteins, rich omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, D, antioxidants, plant nitrates fibres for 4 weeks. did not diet. Both groups suspended interdental cleaning. Periodontal assessed blinded dentist. Serological subgingival...
While the number of coronavirus cases from 2019 continues to grow, hospitals are reporting shortages personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline healthcare workers. Furthermore, PPE eyes and mouth, such as face shields, allow additional protection when working with aerosols. 3-D printing enables easy rapid production lightweight plastic frameworks based on open-source data. The practicality clinical suitability four shields printed using a fused deposition modeling printer were...
