Clinical Performance of a Glass-Hybrid System Compared with a Resin Composite in the Posterior Region: Results of a 2-year Multicenter Study
(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, Hanover Park, 2020)
Purpose: To compare the clinical performance of a glass hybrid restorative system, EQUIA Forte, with that of a nanohybrid resin composite, Tetric EvoCeram, in two-surface class II cavities. Materials and Methods: This ...
Effect of Aging and Carotid Atherosclerosis on Multifractality of Dental Pulp Blood Flow Oscillations
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2020)
Introduction: Age-related changes of dental pulp tissue and atherosclerosis of carotid arteries as its feeding arteries could influence the functionality of pulpal circulation. The objective of our study was to evaluate ...
Bone microRNA-21 as surgical stress parameter is associated with third molar postoperative discomfort
(Springer, 2020)
Objective: To evaluate an association between bone levels of inflammation/oxidative stress mediators and postoperative discomfort after third molar conventional or piezosurgery. Material and methods: Twenty-six subjects ...
Sodium thiosulphate and progression of vascular calcification in end-stage renal disease patients: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2020)
Background. Sodium thiosulphate (NaTS) is mostly used in haemodialysis (HD) patients with calcific uraemic arteriolopathy. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessed the effect of NaTS on progression ...
Effects of a novel gel containing 5-aminolevulinic acid and red LED against bacteria involved in peri-implantitis and other oral infections
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem worldwide and the finding of alternative methods for eliminating bacteria is one of the prerogatives of medical research. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in ...
Immediate and Long-Term Porosity of Calcium Silicate-Based Sealers
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2020)
Introduction: Open pores between endodontic sealer and root canal walls present potential niches for bacterial growth and migration pathways. The aim was to assess the internal and external porosity of calcium silicate-based ...
Comparison of four different suture materials in respect to oral wound healing, microbial colonization, tissue reaction and clinical features-randomized clinical study
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2020)
Objectives Sutures are the most frequently used medical device for wound closure. They support tissue during the early phase of healing until it regains enough tensile strength. The aim of this study was to compare four ...
Toxicological profile of nanostructured bone substitute based on hydroxyapatite and poly(Lactide-co-glycolide) after subchronic oral exposure of rats
(Mdpi Ag, 2020)
Novel three-dimensional (3D) nanohydroxyapatite-PLGA scaffolds with high porosity was developed to better mimic mineral component and microstructure of natural bone. To perform a final assessment of this nanomaterial as a ...
