Surfactant proteins (SP), originally known from human lung surfactant, are essential to proper respiratory function in that they lower the surface tension of alveoli. They also important components innate immune system. The functional significance these is currently reflected by a very large and growing number publications. objective goal this study was elucidate whether Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa able express surfactant proteins. 10 different strains S. P. were analyzed...
The challenge of reduced dental treatment and education infrastructure in the Tanzanian highlands affects oral health situation both general population local healthcare workers. aim this study was to investigate status workers at Ilembula Lutheran Hospital (ILH), Tanzania, during COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 134 (62 women, 72 men; mean age 36.48 ± 9.56 years, range 19–59 years; median 35.00 years) participated cross-sectional study, conducted from 12 February 27 February. A examiner trained...
There has been no research on the prevalence of and factors associated with dental caries in rural southwestern Tanzania among schoolchildren. Determining will help to assess need for intervention prophylactic measures children region. In February 2020, a cross-sectional study was conducted Wanging'ombe District Ilembula Ward. The data were collected through clinical examinations personal interviews at two primary schools. Univariable multivariable logistic regression analyses performed...
Zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramics are considered as posterior fixed partial denture (FPD) materials; however, their applications limited due to chipping. The use of monolithic lithium disilicate (LiDi) glass in FPDs can be advantageous. This vitro study aims compare the loads until failure Y-TZP-FPDs and LiDi-FPDs before after aging.
The development of hypoallergenic denture resins is key to the treatment patients with allergies polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). In this study, in vitro mechanical properties and PMMA base were compared. Ninety-six test specimens (Polyan Plus®, Sinomer, TMS Acetal Dental, Erkocryl) 72 PMMA-based (Paladon 65, PalaXpress, SR-Ivocap) fabricated. flexural strength, elastic modulus, compressive macro- microhardness, average roughness, water absorption, solubility measured. None matched all...
This follow-up study aimed at collecting long-term data for removable partial dentures (RPDs) retained by double crowns with spark-eroded friction pins (DCP) and comparing them in the presence of severely reduced dentition (SRD) non-SRD (NSRD, i.e. residual more than three abutment teeth) after a 10-year wearing period.A total 158 participants (n = 71, 44.9% women) aged 62.5 ± 12.7 years 182 prostheses on 520 teeth were followed up between 2006 2022. The SRD group included 144 RPDs supported...
This 120-month follow-up study aimed to investigate the complication rate of abutment teeth after endodontic pretreatment with base metal alloy double crowns friction pins.A total 158 participants (n = 71, 44.9% women) aged 62.5 ± 12.7 years 182 prostheses on 520 459, 88.3% vital) were retrospectively analyzed between 2006 and 2022. Of endodontically treated teeth, 6.9% 36) additionally post core reconstructions. Cumulative rates calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimator log-rank test. In...
Objective: Infection control protocols dictate the disinfection of dentures. There are no products available which designed for specific use disinfecting The objective this study was to investigate impact chemical disinfectants on elastic modulus, flexural strength and color stability denture base resins. Methods: 256 specimens from four acrylic resins were manufactured. Two cold-curing resins: PalaXpress (Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany), Futura Gen (Schuetz Dental, Roßbach, Germany) two...
Objective . Infection control protocols in dentistry dictate that orthodontic acrylics have to be disinfected. No specific products for are available. The objective of this study was investigate the influence chemical disinfectants on mechanical properties acrylics. Materials and Methods 260 test specimens two cold-curing were manufactured. Three disinfecting agents tested: Impresept, D050 Instru-Gen, Stammopur DR. Test stored distilled water divided into groups. E-Modulus, flexural...
Abstract Background Owing to the reduced dental treatment infrastructure in Tanzanian highlands, maintaining good oral health is a challenge for not only general population but also individual professional groups. In this study, caries prevalence and, subsequently, prosthetic needs of nurses Ilembula Lutheran Hospital (ILH) and Institute Health Allied Sciences (IIHAS), Tanzania, were investigated. Materials methods One hundred sixty-eight ILH IIHAS nursing students (87 women, 81 men; age...
By using modern digitalization techniques, an existing denture can be digitized and aid the provision of a new implant-supported according to fully digital workflow. This includes navigated implant surgery results in immediately provided prosthetic restoration. However, even with current workflow, it is challenging achieve definitive restoration single treatment session. In order as few sessions possible, we have implemented abutment test. test modified data set determined final present...
