The obtained root segments randomly assigned to four groups according irrigant adopted cement used seal canal. processed metyl-methacrylate embedding. Serial sections submitted histomorphometric analyses in order observe any defect adhesion at measure defects'...
Bone loss induced by ovariectomy is due to the direct activity on bone cells and mesenchymal dysregulated of marrow cells, including immune stromal but underlying mechanisms are not completely known. Here, we demonstrate that induces T-cell co-stimulatory cytokine LIGHT, which stimulates both osteoblastogenesis osteoclastogenesis modulating osteoclastogenic expression, TNF, osteoprotegerin, receptor activator nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Predictably, LIGHT-deficient (Tnfsf14-/- ) mice...
The objective of this study was to assess frequency and extension the defects affecting dentin-post interface after using different combinations irrigants sealers. experimental work conducted on single-rooted teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons. specimens were divided into groups, according irrigant endodontic cement utilized, endodontically instrumented. After fiberglass posts cementation, cross sections obtained at apical, middle coronal level root submitted quantitative analyses....
Dens invaginatus (D.I.) is a developmental anomaly caused by the infolding of surface tooth crown before calcification has occurred. Its aetiology controversial and remains unclear. It occurs in all dentitions with prevalence that ranges from 0.25% to 7.74% mostly seen maxillary permanent incisors, particularly lateral incisors. Posterior teeth are infrequently involved.The purpose this study was investigate morpho‐structure second upper molar dens compared control tooth. Ground decalcified...
ABSTRACT Multiple cytokines produced by immune cells induce remodeling and aid in maintaining bone homeostasis through differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Here, we investigate controlled the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily cytokine LIGHT. LIGHT-deficient mice (Tnfsf14-/-) exhibit spine deformity reduced femoral cancellous mass associated with an increase osteoclast number a slight decrease compared WT mice. The effect LIGHT can be direct or...
To compare the effectiveness of two different routes antibiotic administration in preventing septic complications patients undergoing third molar extraction.Twenty-four healthy requiring bilateral surgical removal impacted mandibular molars were successfully enrolled for this study. Depth impaction, angulation, and relationship lower with branch had to be overlapping on both sides. A split-mouth design was chosen, so each patient underwent first second surgeries, having extraction a route...
Hard tissue regeneration represents a challenge for the Regenerative Medicine and Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be successful therapeutic strategy.
