Optimizing the formation of the acquired enamel pellicle in vitro for proteomic analysis

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Saliva is the major contributor for the protein composition of the acquired enamel pellicle (AEP), a bacteria-free organic layer formed by the selective adsorption of salivary proteins on the surface of the enamel. However, the amount of proteins that can be recovered is even smaller under in vi...

Precisión diagnóstica de biomarcadores salivales para cáncer oral y desórdenes potencialmente malignos: protocolo de revisión sistemática

Medwave; 20 (5), 2020
INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer oral tiene una tasa de supervivencia a los cinco años de 50%, debido a que frecuentemente su diagnóstico es realizado en estadios avanzados. Por lo tanto, son necesarias nuevas ayudas diagnósticas. Actualmente, existe un número significativo de publicaciones científicas sug...

IL-10 Cytokine as Potential Biomarkers in Women with Fibromyalgia Who Underwent to a Short Balneotherapy Treatment

Abstract Fibromyalgia (FM) is a nonarticular rheumatic syndrome that leads to diffuse myalgia, sleep disturbances and morning stiffness. Balneotherapy has been shown an effective strategy to improve the health conditions of patients; however, the treatment follow-up is based on patient report due to the ...

Effect of Recreational Intervention on the Approach of Pediatric Patients in Dental Treatment: Analysis of Salivary Cortisol

Abstract Objective: To verify whether recreational interaction with pediatric patient before dental care influences cortisol levels and anxiety. Material and Methods: Twelve children were selected and divided into two groups: 6 children who had not previously received recreational intervention (Group I...

Development of a small panel of SNPs to infer ancestry in Chileans that distinguishes Aymara and Mapuche components

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Current South American populations trace their origins mainly to three continental ancestries, i.e. European, Amerindian and African. Individual variation in relative proportions of each of these ancestries may be confounded with socio-economic factors due to population stratification. Theref...

Influence of salivary conditioning and sucrose concentration on biofilm-mediated enamel demineralization

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract The acquired pellicle formation is the first step in dental biofilm formation. It distinguishes dental biofilms from other biofilm types. Objective To explore the influence of salivary pellicle formation before biofilm formation on enamel demineralization. Methodology Saliva collection was a...

Tongue function and swallowing in individuals with temporomandibular disorders

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract The tongue participates in the oral phase of swallowing by pushing the food bolus toward the oropharynx. This relationship between tongue function and swallowing is little addressed addressed in individuals with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Objective: To analyze the association of funct...

Sports supplement induces dental structure corrosion: an in vitro pilot study

Dietary supplements are being consumed with an increasingly high frequency among sports practitioners, whether at professional and/or amateur level. The supplements contain some nutritional properties in their composition, so they can dissolute the hydroxyapatite crystals of the enamel and favor the proc...
