Correlação entre estresse oxidativo na saliva e no sangue e a intensidade dos sintomas vasomotores em mulheres brasileiras na peri e pós-menopausa

No envelhecimento reprodutivo feminino ocorre diminuição gradativa dos hormônios ovarianos, culminando na menopausa, que é antecedida pela perimenopausa. Na perimenopausa há variabilidade do sistema neuroendócrino, com alterações no ciclo menstrual e sintomas vasomotores (SVM), caracterizados por...

Salivary profile of children with erosive tooth wear: a transversal study

Abstract The aim of the present transversal study was to evaluate the clinical and biochemical salivary parameters of children with and without erosive tooth wear (ETW). The study population was children aged 4 to 9 years. A trained and calibrated examiner (kappa value for intraexaminer reliability = 0.8...

Saliva: an important alternative for screening and monitoring of COVID-19 in children

Abstract: The increasing number of cases of COVID-19 worldwide poses challenges to healthcare systems not only in effectively identifying individuals positive for SARS-CoV-2, but also in isolating cases to minimise contagion in early diagnosing more severe cases that will need hospitalization. Less-invas...

Differences in Proteomic Profiles Between Caries Free and Caries Affected Children

Abstract Objective: To determine if there are differences in protein profiles in saliva depending if children of caries-free versus caries affected. Material and Methods: A cohort of 91 children with ages between 6 and 19 years, along clinical status of caries experience. Protein profiles in saliva wer...

Salivary Glands, Saliva and Oral Findings in COVID-19 Infection

Abstract The world is under the threat of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite several efforts to contain the disease spread, it still constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. Several publi...

SARS-CoV-2 and Saliva as a Diagnostic Tool: A Real Possibility

Abstract Covid-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The high rate of contagion and the spread of the virus in the population make the early detection of the pathogen the means for the adequate targeting of infection control measures. WHO directs sample collection on upper respirato...

Protein Profiles of Individuals with Erosive Tooth Wear

Abstract Objective: To determine if protein profiles identified in saliva could be used to determine risk and severity of erosive tooth wear. Material and Methods: Three types of saliva sampling were performed to obtain saliva from 34 18-year old individuals that received regular dental check-ups, alon...

Comparison of protein profiles of the pellicle, gingival crevicular fluid, and saliva: possible origin of pellicle proteins

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: The pellicle, the acellular organic material deposited on the surface of tooth enamel, has been thought to be derived from saliva. In this study, protein compositions of the pellicle, gingival crevicular fluid, and saliva collected from healthy adults were compared to elucidate the origin of ...

Oropouche virus detection in saliva and urine

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arthropod-borne virus of the Peribunyaviridae family, transmitted to humans primarily by Culicoides paraensis. It is one of the main arboviruses infecting humans in Brazil, primarily in the Amazon Region. Here, we report the detection of OROV in the saliva and urine of a pati...

Effect of music at 432 Hz and 440 Hz on dental anxiety and salivary cortisol levels in patients undergoing tooth extraction: a randomized clinical trial

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effects of music at 432 Hz, 440 Hz, and no music on the clinical perception of anxiety and salivary cortisol levels in patients undergoing tooth extraction. Methodology A parallel-group randomized clinical trial was conducted. Forty-two patien...
