Influence of thickness on the parameters of translucency and fluorescence of direct bioactive restorative materials
Full text linkThe aim of this study was to assess the influence of different thickness on the parameters of translucency and fluorescence of direct bioactive restorative materials
CHANGES IN STRESS DISTRIBUTION OF ORTHODONTIC MINISCREW AND SURROUNDING BONE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND HEIGHTS - FEM STUDY
Full text linkMiniscrews is introduced as absolute anchorage devices in orthodontic treatment. They are efficient in overcoming anchorage loss. The miniscrew implants can be placed at different heights and angles in the positions determined for various clinical requirements. In this study, we used these parameters for determining the changes in stress distribution on the supporting bone and the miniscrews itself using finite element analysis.The aim of this study is to determine changes in stress distribution on the supporting bone and miniscrew implant at different alveolar crestal heights in different angulations using Finite Element Analysis
Sulforaphane Pre-treatment Improves Cytoprotection Against Opportunistic Pathogens
Full text linkAlcohol is associated with increased mortality and morbidity globally. Pulmonary infections with opportunistic pathogens can occur in healthy humans; however, binge alcohol intoxication (≥ 0.08% BAC) is a major risk factor. We have previously shown that a single dose of alcohol comparable to binge alcohol intoxication increases infection by reducing alveolar macrophage function in vivo. The aim of this study was to 1) test the therapeutic potential of the phytonutrient sulforaphane (SFN) given as a pre-treatment, and 2) test the alcohol-induced effects on phagocytic function in murine and human macrophages in vitro
EFFECTS OF VIRTUAL REALITY AUDIO VISUAL SYSTEM AS A DISTRACTION AID TO REDUCE ANXIETY AMONG 6–10-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN UNDERGOING RESTORATIONS : A PILOT STUDY
Full text linkTo evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality eyeglasses as a distraction aid to reduce anxiety of children undergoing the dental restoration procedures
Whitening efficacy of activated charcoal-based dentifrices related to the mode of action and adverse effects on the tooth surface
Full text linkTo evaluate if tooth color alteration of activated charcoal-based dentifrices may be attributed to the dye adsorption potential of charcoal (chemical action - C - slurry only) or to the association of dye adsorption with abrasion (chemo-mechanical action - CM- slurry/toothbrushing). Potential adverse effects in surface roughness, gloss, and wear were also assessed
Factors Leading to White Blood Cell Misidentification
Full text linkA study done to understand what factors lead to the correct identification of white blood cells (WBCs), and what factors are misleading. Research was conducted through an online survey where respondents who are trained to read peripheral blood smears were shown pictures of white blood cells, asked to identify them, and provide their reasoning
Immunohistochemical Expression of Cyclin D1 In Dentigerous Cyst, Odontogenic Keratocyst and Unicystic Ameloblastoma- An In-vitro Study
Full text linkCyclin D1, a G1 cyclin member, regulates the transition of the cell cycle from the G1 phase to the S phase. The uncontrolled and elevated expression of cyclin D1 has been associated with rapid growth, heightened proliferative activity and increased histologic aggressiveness. Unicystic ameloblastoma pertains to cystic lesions that present clinical, radiographic, or gross features akin to jaw cysts. Nevertheless, upon histological scrutiny, these lesions display a distinctive ameloblastomatous epithelium lining the cystic cavity, with or without luminal or mural proliferation. This cystic variant of tumor bears substantial resemblances to dentigerous cysts, and occasionally, both entities can become indistinguishable upon histological examination. The study aimed to investigate whether the immunohistochemical expression of cyclin D1 in unicystic ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst and dentigerous cyst correlates with their known clinical behavior
LONG NON-CODING RNA AS A POTENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASES - A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Full text linkPOSTER - SYSTEMATIC REVIEW - LONG NON CODING RNAS AS DIAGNOSTIC MARKER FOR CA
Overlooked Dental Disease in CBCT Imaging and the Impact of Oral Radiologist Interpretation
Full text linkThis study aims to underscore the necessity for a comprehensive interpretation of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) volume images obtained by dentists. The research demonstrates and quantifies potentially overlooked dental pathology, categorizing incidental findings into three groups: 1) requiring some form of treatment or follow-up, 2) necessitating follow-up (monitoring) only, and 3) demanding no further treatment or follow-up
Porcelain Fused to Zirconia Wing Bridge: A Clinical Trial
Full text linkThis study evaluated the durability and retention of nine porcelain fused to zirconia wing bridges with the addition of counter sunk holes in the wings. Prior to this clinical trial, preliminary in-vitro testing of bridges with porcelain fused zirconia was performed. The nine bridges were then fabricated for the replacement of missing anterior teeth
