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...

Limitation of diagnostic value of cone-beam CT in detecting apical root isthmuses

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Isthmuses are reported as common anatomic complexities in teeth often associated with failures in endodontic treatment. They should be considered before starting treatment and a preoperative computed tomography scan (CT) may demonstrate these complexities. Objective To assess the diagnostic val...

Evaluation of the physical and antifungal effects of chlorhexidine diacetate incorporated into polymethyl methacrylate

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the physical properties and antifungal activities of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic resins after the incorporation of chlorhexidine diacetate salt (CDA). Methodology: First, acrylic resin specimens were fabricated with Vipi Cor® and DuraLay® resins with an...

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...

Gingival recession treatment with concentrated growth factor membrane: a comparative clinical trial

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective This clinical trial sought to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of concentrated growth factor (CGF) and compare it with connective tissue graft (CTG) with coronally advanced flap (CAF) in the treatment of Miller Class I gingival recessions (GR). Methodology This split-mouth study...

In-depth morphological evaluation of tooth anatomic lengths with root canal configurations using cone beam computed tomography in North American population

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the association between tooth size and root canal morphology by using CBCT analysis. Methodology In this retrospective study, tooth anatomic lengths (crown and root lengths, buccolingual and mesiodistal dimensions) of 384 patients were assessed and correl...

Micro-computed tomographic assessment of the variability and morphological features of root canal system and their ramifications

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objectives This study assessed the incidence and variability features of root canals system (RCS) and their ramifications according to Pucci & Reig (PR) (1944) and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) (2017) by micro-computed tomography (μCT). Methodology 500 representativ...

Microbial profile of symptomatic pericoronitis lesions: a cross-sectional study

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective: The microbial composition of pericoronitis (Pc) is still controversial; it is not yet clear if the microbial profile of these lesions is similar to the profile observed in periodontitis (Pd). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the microbial profile of Pc lesions ...

Influence of alumina air-abrasion for highly translucent partially stabilized zirconia on flexural strength, surface properties, and bond strength of resin cement

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the influence of different air-abrasion pressures and subsequent heat treatment on the flexural strength, surface roughness, and crystallographic phases of highly translucent partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ), and on the tensile bond strength of resin ...

Evaluación del Índice de Korkhaus en adultos chilenos con oclusión normal

El examen de modelos es una de las múltiples herramientas diagnósticas que posee la ortodoncia y ortopedia dentomáxilofacial. Los valores con que se construyó su norma estadística están basados en poblaciones específicas y no reflejan las diferencias morfológicas existentes en el complejo cráneo...
