To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extracts pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel and juice, against microorganisms considered main etiologic agents dental caries.The values minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) were determined Streptococcus mutans Clarke ATCC® 25175™ strain Rothia dentocariosa clinical isolate.Peel inhibit effectively growth survival S. ATCC 25175 R. isolate with MIC MBC 10 μg/μl 15 μg/μl, respectively. Furthermore, juice extract...
Despite a global decline in caries experience children, dental remains common and persistent public health problem, being more prevalent among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. The aim of this survey is to evaluate DMFT index, prevalence Unmet Restorative Treatment Needs (UNT) index migrant not children with low income, Campania region (Italy), order plan build up strategies for promoting adequate care vulnerable groups.A sample 553 (age range: 12-14 years old) were recruited from...
Chewing gums may be particularly effective means for delivering and maintaining bioactive molecules, included in the gum formulation, able to have an anti-cariogenic effect. The purposes of this study were: develop novel chewing containing quercetin (Qt); evaluate their release using vivo trial; finally, test antibacterial effect against oral Streptococcus mutans strains. A preliminary was performed produce new gums, enriched with polyphenol quercetin. Then, a first experimental assessed...
To evaluate the impact of oral treatment under general anaesthesia (GA) on health-related quality life (OHRQoL) in children with severe dental caries; to assess effect children's weight (Wt), height (Ht) and Body Mass Index (BMI).One hundred uncooperative 3-5 years old were selected. OHRQoL, assessed Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS), Ht, Wt BMI measured at baseline after 1 year from anaesthesia.All statistical procedures performed using Statistical Package for Social...
Fissure sealants are effective in preventing caries. The aim of this vitro study was to evaluate the effects two different enamel surface preparation techniques for pit and fissure sealing.Sixty extracted sound third molars were used. For each tooth, mesial half occlusal fissures treated with ultrasound diamond tip T1 mounted on an ultrasonic handpiece, while distal conventional bur. teeth randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 30/each). Group 1 samples stored distilled water at 4 °C. group...
