Fluoxetine effects on periodontogenesis: histomorphometrical and immunohistochemical analyses in rats

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Reports have indicated that serotonin plays an important role in cell migration and differentiation during the organogenesis of several tissues, including the oral types. Administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs during pregnancy could affect the delivery of serotonin...

Enhanced bioactive properties of BiodentineTM modified with bioactive glass nanoparticles

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective To prepare nanocomposite cements based on the incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBGs) into BiodentineTM (BD, Septodent, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses Cedex, France) and to assess their bioactive properties. Material and Methods nBGs were synthesised by the sol-gel method. BD ...

Selective COX-2 Inhibitor (Meloxicam) and Tooth-Supporting Bone Quality. A Histomorphometric Study in Rats

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract The effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on bone quantity and quality were investigated for years. However, there is lack of information on the impact of NSAIDs on the quality of tooth-supporting alveolar bone in absence of periodontal inflammation. Thus, the aim of this...

Effect of Erosion/Abrasion Challenge on the Dentin Tubule Occlusion Using Different Desensitizing Agents

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
The aim of the study was to evaluate dentinal tubule occlusion, measuring the dentin permeability (Lp) and using different desensitizing agents before and after abrasive/erosive challenge. Dentin discs from 42 healthy human third molars were obtained. Minimum Lp was measured after a smear layer simulatio...

Meloxicam as a Radiation-Protective Agent on Mandibles of Irradiated Rats

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract This study evaluated the action of ionizing radiation and the possible radioprotective effect of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam on the bone physiology of rat mandibles by assessing the alveolar socket healing and bone strength. Forty male Wistar rats were divided in 4 groups ...

Surface Properties of Temporary Soft Liners Modified by Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Antifungals

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract Evaluating the addition of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antifungals for Candida albicans biofilm on the hardness and roughness of temporary denture soft liners. Specimens (n=8; 36×7×6 mm) of tissue conditioner (Softone) and resilient liner (Trusoft) were produced either without ...

Evaluación biomecánica del efecto de bisfosfonatos y aceite de oliva en un modelo de remodelación óseo en fémur de rata: efectos en la remodelación ósea

Estudios han demostrado que el aceite de oliva (O) con sus compuestos fenólicos tienen efectos positivos en diversos biomarcadores fisiológicos. Análisis previos han demostrado que los bisfosfonatos, son potentes inhibidores de la resorción ósea. Estudiar el efecto del tratamiento combinado de alend...

Sucrose induced dentin demineralization in a microcosm biofilm model

The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the root dentin demineralization caused by a microcosm biofilm model that has been exposed to sucrose in different ways. Materials and Methods: Saliva of two volunteers was inoculated into an artificial medium for biofilm growth and dentin blocks were immersed...

Hepatic Osteodystrophy: The Mechanism of Bone Loss in Hepatocellular Disease and the Effects of Pamidronate Treatment

Clinics; 72 (4), 2017
OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to evaluate the bone phenotypes and mechanisms involved in bone disorders associated with hepatic osteodystrophy. Hepatocellular disease was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). In addition, the effects of disodium pamidronate on bone tissue were evaluated. ...

Evaluation of nicotinamide as an anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic agent in uveal melanoma cell lines

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the effect of nicotinamide on the secretion of pro-an giogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines in uveal melanoma cell lines. Methods: Two human uveal melanoma cell lines (92.1 and OCM-1) were treated with nicotinamide (10 mmol/L) or control media for 48 hours in culture....
