In-office bleaching effects on the pulp flow and tooth sensitivity – case series

Braz. oral res. (Online); 29 (1), 2015
Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is a noninvasive method capable of evaluating variations in pulp blood flow (PBF) and pulp vitality. This method has thus far not been used to assess changes in blood flow after in-office bleaching. The aim of this case series report was to measure changes in PBF by LDF in t...

Influence of polymeric matrix on the physical and chemical properties of experimental composites

Braz. oral res. (Online); 29 (1), 2015
Nowadays, the main reasons for replacement of resin-based composite restorations are fracture or problems with the integrity of their interface, such as marginal staining, microleakage, or secondary caries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the organic matrix on polymerization...

Predictive equations for respiratory muscle strength according to international and Brazilian guidelines

Background: The maximum static respiratory pressures, namely the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), reflect the strength of the respiratory muscles. These measures are simple, non-invasive, and have established diagnostic and prognostic value. This study is the firs...
