Abstract: We evaluated the antifungal and antibiofilm potential of the hydroalcoholic extract of bark from Anadenanthera colubrina (vell.) Brenan, known as Angico, against Candida spp. Antifungal activity was evaluated using the microdilution technique through the Minimum Inhibitory and Fungicide Concentrations (MIC and MFC). The antibiofilm potential was tested in mature biofilms formed by Candida species and analyzed through the counting of CFU/mL and scanning electron micrograph (SEM). In vivo...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of chitosan or nanodiamond incorporation on the color stability and surface roughness of a bisacrylic resin subjected to artificial aging. Four bisacrylic resins were evaluated, namely, control, chitosan-modified material, nanodiamond-modified material, and chitosan–nanodiamond-modified material. Twenty-four specimens were prepared for each material. The surface roughness was determined using a profilometer with a cut-off of 0.25 mm. The baseline...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the machinability of four CAD/CAM materials (n = 13) assessed by brittleness index, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness and interaction among such mechanical properties. The materials selected in this in vitro study are Feldspathic ceramic [FC], Lithium-disilicate glass ceramic [LD], leucite-reinforced glass ceramic [LR], and nanofilled resin material [RN]. Slices were made from the blocks following original dimensions 14 × 12 × 3 mm (L × W × H),...

Occlusal support may influence muscular function during complex motor tasks. This study evaluated the duration and sequence of muscular activation of masticatory (temporal, masseter), postural head/neck (sternocleidomastoid, trapezius), postural trunk (rectus abdominis, paravertebrals), and low extremity strength (rectus femoris, gastrocnemius) muscles during simulation of activities of daily living (ADL) in edentulous women wearing complete dentures (n = 10) and in dentate women (n = 10)....

Abstract Purpose The aim of this work is to investigate changes in the anterior joint space (AJS) and the relationship of such changes to clinical symptoms in chronic temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) patients, and to compare symptoms between chronic and acute TMD patients. Methods Data from 100 TMD patients diagnosed based on the Diagnostic Criteria...

AbstractObjectivesThe role of dental plaque in gingival lesions caused by oral lichen planus has not been fully defined.The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of oral healthcare motivation on clinical variables in patients with gingival oral lichen planus.Materials and MethodsOral lichen planus patients with symptomatic gingival lesions were randomized in control and intervention groups. The intervention group was instructed to effectively remove bacterial biofilm from...

AbstractObjectiveLong non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 was associated with multiple types of cancers such as Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might affect cancer risk by modified the function of lncRNAs. But fewer study researched the relationship between SNPs and MEG3 in cancers. Considering these reasons, we supposed SNPs in MEG3 may influence the risk of OSCC.Methods and MaterialsThe selected SNPs in MEG3 were genotyped in 1428 subjects (444 OSCC...

Publication date: Available online 3 April 2019Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryAuthor(s): S.H. Lo, Y.-A. Chen, C.-F. Yao, Y.-F. Liao, Y.-R. ChenAbstractA stable occlusion at the time of surgery is considered important for post-surgical stability after orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether skeletal stability after bimaxillary surgery using a surgery-first approach for skeletal class III deformity is related to the surgical occlusal contact...
