In order prevent obstruction, functional appliances are commonly used for orthodontic therapy. aim the article verify if these could positively influence diameters preventing onset future respiratory disorders.A group 10 patients treated at Dental Clinic San Gerardo Hospital in Monza with mandibular activator was selected. Ten similar untreated subjects retrognathic mandible were as control...

To evaluate the antimicrobial, toxicity and cleaning effectiveness of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) maleic (MA) alone combined with cetrimide (CTR).Cytotoxic genotoxic effects were assessed on Chinese hamster cells V79 using MTT, clonogenic micronucleus assays, respectively. The bacterial inhibitory bactericidal concentrations (MIC MBC, respectively) determined a strain Enterococcus faecalis. Antimicrobial tests performed biofilm model after treatment chelating agents by eradication...

Oral appliances embedding sensors can be interesting tools for monitoring tooth contact bruxism in a home environment, as they address some of the usability limitations portable electromyography (EMG) systems. In this study, an oral appliance sleep was compared to electromyograph.Simulated events with contact, specifically clenching and grinding, other occlusal activities unrelated bruxism, were measured 23 subjects two instruments simultaneously. The recordings analyzed automatically by...

Digital orthopantomography (OPT) is usually the first examination step in supervising an incoming patient. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) most refined and affordable method to search for different dental lesions. The aim of this paper evaluate effectiveness OPT CBCT detecting periapical lesions groups.An a scan arches 45 patients were examined. presence AP was pointed out CBCT. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, accuracy calculated OPT, using as reference standard.OPT showed...
