Anatomical study of the pterygopalatine fossa pertinent to the maxillary nerve block at the foramen rotundum
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
The anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa pertinent to the technique of maxillary nerve block at the foramen rotundum was investigated and the ability of inexperienced surgeons to apply the required angles of the injection ...
Maxillary infiltration anaesthesia by ropivacaine for upper third molar surgery
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
The main purpose of this Study was to assess the clinical efficacy and haemodynamic effects of ropivacaine for infiltration anaesthesia in patients undergoing surgical removal of upper third molars. The safety profile of ...
Prevalence of human cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus in subgingival plaque at peri-implantitis, mucositis and healthy sites. A pilot study
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2011)
This study evaluated the prevalence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in peri-implantitis and mucositis sites and the correlation between herpesvirus and clinical parameters. Fifty-six dental ...
Does the presence of an unerupted lower third molar influence the risk of mandibular angle and condylar fractures?
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2016)
It has been suggested that unerupted lower third molars (M3) increase the fragility of the mandibular angle and simultaneously decrease the risk of condylar fracture. However, it is unknown whether this applies regardless ...
Cancer genes alterations and HPV infection in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of cancer genes contributing to oral squamous cell (OSCC) development and progression and correlate genetic changes to clinical parameters. Human papilloma virus ...
Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha) and chemokines (IL-8 and MIP-1 alpha as markers of pen-implant tissue condition
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
Analysis of pen-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) offers a non-invasive means of studying the host response in pen-implant disease and may provide an early indication of patients at risk for active disease. This study examined ...
Genetic and epigenetic alterations in the tumour, tumour margins, and normal buccal mucosa of patients with oral cancer
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2018)
Despite adequate surgical resection, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) shows a high rate of recurrence and metastasis, which could be explained by the presence of molecular alterations in seemingly normal tumour margins ...
The amplification of c-erb-B2 in cancer-free surgical margins is a predictor of poor outcome in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2016)
The tumour subtype, TNM classification, and histopathological data are sometimes not sufficient for understanding and assessing the behaviour of oral cancers. In an attempt to find additional markers of tumour biology and ...
