Introduction: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) have been recently detected in samples from apical periodontitis lesions by means of molecular biology techniques a role the pathogenesis this disease has suggested. The present study was designed to survey asymptomatic primary for presence HCMV‐ and/or EBV‐infected cells immunohistochemistry. Methods: Apical were obtained 35 patients [26 human immunodeficiency (HIV) ‐seronegative nine HIV‐seropositive patients] after...
Background/Objectives: Dental caries remains a prevalent chronic disease globally, driven by complex interactions between the host, diet, and microbial communities. This study employs metatranscriptomic RNA-Seq analysis to explore functional dynamics of dentin microbiome in both healthy carious teeth. By examining transcriptional activity bacterial communities, we aimed identify key species molecular functions associated with progression. Methods: Samples from six patients (three three...
A comfortable postoperative return to daily activities has increased the need control inflammation after third molar surgery. Anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics are not exempt from adverse effects such as allergies chronic gastritis, they without cost. The association between low-level laser auricular acupuncture can be an alternative when conventional contraindicated. Among its advantages, we mention low risk of side effects, cost simplicity application. objective this study is evaluate...
Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of LLL (Low level laser therapy) in auriculotherapy points for pain reduction following lower third molar extractions. Study design Randomized, controlled, single-blinded study. Methods Eighty-four bilateral, symmetrical surgeries were performed 42 healthy patients using a split-mouth design. In immediate postoperative period, each side was randomly treated single-blind method with an at or simulation its use (contralateral side) over 21-day interval....
Clinical Relevance The periodical supervision of packable composite proximal restorations is necessary and essential, as microleakage greatly increases after axial mechanical load incidences, even when this material associated with other materials, such flowable composite, glass-ionomer or compomer.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the alteration optical properties bulk Fill resin-based composites after 2 years simulated toothbrushing. Three high-viscosity fill resin and one conventional sculptable composite (control) were analyzed. Five specimens each prepared, roughness, color, translucency gloss evaluated initially two submitted electric toothbrushing (14600 strokes/100g) using a commercially available toothbrush with soft fibers toothpaste slurry in proportion 1:2 by...
The aim of this study was to characterize organic and disperse phase a microhybrid (Mh – Filtek Z250) nanofilled (Nf Z350) dental composite analyze the influence two LCUs (QHT-quartz-halogen tungsten LED light-emitting diode) on its physical–mechanical properties (degree conversion, polymerization shrinkage, Vickers hardness diametral tensile strength). Surface morphology studied by scanning electron microscopy. content measured using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) fractions were...
The objective of the study was to collect scientific data perform a literature review ceramic ce mentation, highlighting their properties, techniques, indications and contraindications. An ideal luting agent has present as main characteristics high compressive strength, tensile shear, adequate marginal sealing, low solubility oral fluids mi nimal thickness film. Concerning technique, it observed that differences on microstructure composition systems require specific pro tocols preparation...
This study evaluated the influence of activation modes, on Diametral Tensile Strength (DTS) dual cured resin cements subjected to a Mechanical Fatigue test (MF). Four dual-cured (RelyX UNICEM [U], RelyX ARC [A], ENFORCE [E] and Nexus 2 [N]) were activated by three different curing modes as follows: Self-Curing (SC), Dual Cure with photoactivation executed directly (DC) Photoactivation Through Porcelain (DCTP). After 24 hours, half sample was 30.000 fatigue cycles at 1 Hz frequency 12 N load....
O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a diferença na rugosidade superficial de três resinas compostas submetidas ciclos imersão em soluções pigmentantes. A amostra dividida 4 grupos, acordo com o tipo solução imersão: no Grupo I, saliva artificial (controle); II, café; III, Coca-Cola®; e, IV, café seguido Coca-Cola®. Cada grupo dividido 3 subgrupos (N=9) cada resina. Os corpos-de-prova foram levados à estufa 37ºC (±1ºC), mergulhados e estocados por uma semana. Após esse procedimento, todas...
This study analyzed the surface roughness of an acrylic resin. The specimens were divided into 10 groups (n = 5): I - control mechanical polishing, II – polishing immersed in coffee, III coffee with sugar, IV Coca- Cola ®, V Coca-cola VI chemical VII immersion VIII IX Coca-Cola X Coca-cola®. analysis variance showed significant differences between (p 0.000). Tukey test that increased both treatments, while Coca-Cola® wasn’t.
