Background As dietary management during early childhood is a great barrier in caries control, there need for the identification of intrinsic risk factors, capable allowing use more cost‐effective approach to ( ECC ). Objective To evaluate salivary peptide profile children with and without its association experience. Methods One hundred six 10‐ 71‐month‐old participated study. Caries experience was determined through visual/tactile method, based on number decayed, missing, filled teeth,...
Dental caries is the most prevalent disease in humans and its incidence particularly high during childhood. The use of medicinal plants a common practice Brazil. To evaluate optimal antimicrobial concentration Copaifera langsdorffii (copaiba) oil-resin, form dental varnish, against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) children. Twenty-four children, caries-free, aged until 6 years old, were selected to participate this study. varnish was applied occlusal surfaces all deciduous molars. activity...
Objective: We aimed to compare the effect of sodium fluoride and chlorhexidine on salivary levels mutans streptococci (MS), in a double‐blind, randomized clinical trial. Methods: Thirty‐five healthy volunteers, aged 4–8 years, with at least one active carious lesion no previous history allergies were selected participate study. A gel formulation containing either 1.23% or 1% was topically administered dentition every 24 h for 6 consecutive days. Salivary MS measured baseline (D1) 6th (D6),...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the removal smear layer from middle and apical root thirds after use different irrigating solutions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty roots permanent human teeth had their canals instrumented were randomly assigned 4 groups (n=10), according solution: apple vinegar (group A), finished with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) B), 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) EDTA C) saline D - control). After...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy two desensitizing agents in reduction dentin hypersensitivity a randomized, double-blind, split-mouth clinical trial. Seventy-seven teeth from 13 patients that presented some degree sensitivity probing and/or air stimulation were treated with one following agents: Oxa-Gel (G1), Sensi Kill (G2) and placebo gel (G3 - control). According paired t-test, all treatments, even gel, capable reducing scores for both stimuli. Analysis data by ANOVA...
Background: Matricaria recutita L. (chamomile) has demonstrated anti‐inflammatory activity. Accordingly, the ability of extract (MRE) to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines and its influence on alveolar bone resorption (ABR) in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were subjected ABR by ligature with nylon thread second upper‐left molar, contralateral hemiarcade as control. Rats received polysorbate TW 80 (vehicle) or MRE (10, 30, 90 mg/kg) 1 hour before daily until day 11. The periodontium was analyzed...
Research has demonstrated the need for identifying a novel antimicrobial agent topical use in pediatric dental population. The essential oil of Lippia sidoides Cham. (LSO) been described as having favorable biological properties, and broad vitro vivo spectrum against bacteria yeast infections. Our aim was to determine dose formulation LSO, acceptable clinical testing population with caries. Thirty-seven 6-12-year old children were selected participate this study, randomly allocated receive...
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyse mineralization pattern enamel and dentin in patients affected by X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) using micro-CT (µCT), associate primary permanent teeth with tooth position, gender presence/absence this disease. Methods: 19 were collected from 5 individuals same family, 1 non-affected XLHR 4 XLHR. Gender, age, position (anterior/posterior) type (deciduous/permanent) recorded for each patient. Following collection, placed 0.1%...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from gestational tissues offer a promising avenue for prenatal intervention in congenital malformations although their application is hampered by concerns related to cellular plasticity and the need invasive, high-risk surgical procedures. Here, we present naturally occurring exosomes (EXOs) isolated amniotic fluid-derived MSCs (AF-MSCs) mimetic analogs (MIMs) as viable, reproducible, stable alternatives. These nanovesicles minimally invasive therapeutic...
<p class="1Body">Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is an important tool for molecular biology and biotechnology research, widely used to determine the expression levels of mRNA. Two main methods performing qPCR are largely used: The absolute quantification, in which mRNA determined by using a standard curve relative method, based on use reference genes. Reference genes expressed cells animal plant tissues their pattern theoretically unchanged within several...
The present study aimed to evaluate lingual frenulum in children affected by congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) and analyze the association of phenotypes with other variables.This work had a cross-sectional, descriptive design.This was carried out Fortaleza (Brazil). health professionals provided tertiary level care. Data collection occurred during multidisciplinary task force for evaluating infants CZS December 2 3, 2016.Fifty-four patients (1-12 months old; 32 girls 22 boys) were recruited...
Purpose This study aimed to describe the orofacial features of 26 unrelated Brazilian patients with mucopolysaccharidosis and verify any possible associations between these findings specific types mucopolysaccharidosis. Methods Patients were diagnosed clinically evaluated. Following consent, a clinical assessment form was completed. Facial intraoral examination performed by evaluating facial pattern, malocclusions, dental caries, tooth identification. Results Midface deficiency, increased...
