To evaluate the knowledge and practices of Swiss women regarding oral health during pregnancy.Self-reported questionnaires were attributed to 385 from 4 public hospitals in French speaking part Switzerland February 2015 June 2016.The questionnaire consisted 32 questions including demographic characteristics, habits awareness changes pregnancy.The majority (64%) 3rd trimester pregnancy had a university education (41%). Oral was considered very important for half (52%) moderately 38% them. 71%...
Abstract Background Skeletal craniofacial morphology can be influenced by changes in masticatory muscle function, which may also change the functional profile of muscles. Objectives To investigate effects age and demands on expression Myosin Heavy‐Chain (MyHC) isoforms representative jaw‐closing jaw‐opening muscles, namely masseter digastric muscles respectively. Methods Eighty‐four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, an immature ( n = 12; 4‐week‐old), early adult 24;...
Different demands on the muscles of mastication may influence their functional profile (size and distribution muscle fibre types), which change during growth maturation, potentially influencing craniofacial growth. The aim this study was to evaluate mRNA expression cross-sectional area masticatory fibres compared with limb in young adult rats. Twenty-four rats were sacrificed at two different ages, namely 12 4 weeks (young) 26 (adult). masseter, digastric, gastrocnemius soleus dissected....
The basic principle of the rabbit calvarial model is to grow new bone tissue vertically on top cortical part skull. This allows assessment substitution materials for oral and craniofacial regeneration in terms growth neovascularization support. Once animals are anesthetized ventilated (endotracheal intubation), four cylinders made polyether ether ketone (PEEK) screwed onto skull, both sides median coronal sutures. Five intramedullary holes drilled within area delimited by each cylinder,...
Deproteinized bovine bone mineral particles embedded in collagen (DBBM-C) are widely used for regenerations with excellent, albeit sometimes variable clinical outcomes. Clinicians usually prepare DBBM-C by mixing blood. Replacing blood saline represents an alternative. We investigated if treatment could improve i. handling vitro and ii. biological performances a rabbit calvarial model. In vitro, blocks soaked or were submitted to compression tests. vivo, four poly ether ketone...

Background Endothelial cells (EC) are specialized with respect to a function and local microenvironment. Recently, type-H EC (H-EC) were identified as the preferential interlocutor of osteoprogenitors (OP)- H-EC promote osteogenesis in return, OP angiogenesis. A clear correlation also exists between concentration presence H-EC. To date, nothing is known about influence bone substitute grafting on recruitment form these particular osteogenic niches. Aim/Hypothesis During regeneration process,...
