Esporotricosis del pabellón auricular: comunicación de un caso atípico simulando una celulitis bacteriana

Rev. chil. infectol; 35 (1), 2018
Resumen La esporotricosis es la micosis subcutánea o por implantación más frecuente en México. Se comunica el caso de una esporotricosis cutánea-fija preauricular que simuló una celulitis bacteriana atípica, en una paciente anciana sin antecedente de traumatismo. La biopsia mostró un granuloma su...

One-year prospective clinical study comparing patient satisfaction and masticatory performance of mandibular overdentures supported by one versus two implants

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract There is a lack of clinical evidence on mandibular overdentures (MOD) supported by a single implant. Objective: To compare patient satisfaction and masticatory performance in MOD supported by one versus two implants in a two-group parallel randomized clinical trial. Material and Methods: Twent...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on implant osseointegration in experimental diabetes mellitus

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has a favorable effect on implant osseointegration in diabetic rabbits. Material and Methods An experimental diabetes model was induced in 32 New Zealand rabbits through IV injection of alloxan. After the state of diabetes had b...

High-concentration carbamide peroxide can reduce the sensitivity caused by in-office tooth bleaching: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objectives A single-blinded, randomized, parallel clinical trial evaluated the use of 37% carbamide peroxide (CP) on bleaching effectiveness and tooth sensitivity reported by patients undergoing in-office tooth bleaching, in comparison with the results of using 35% hydrogen peroxide. Material...

Clinical wear of approximal glass ionomer restorations protected with a nanofilled self-adhesive light-cured protective coating

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract High viscous glass ionomer cement (GIC) has gained popularity as a restorative material; however, high wear is pointed as one of the major drawbacks of this material. Protective surface coatings were developed to protect GIC from water contamination with the additional advantage of occluding any...

Effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the degree of gingival inflammation and stress markers related to pregnancy

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of nonsurgical periodontal therapy considering the salivary stress-related hormone and cytokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) on pregnant and nonpregnant women. Material and Methods Thirty non-pregnant (control gr...

Daily melatonin administration improves osseointegration in pinealectomized rats

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract The hypothesis of this study was that the peri-implant bone healing of the group of pinealectomized rats would differ from the control group. The samples were subjected to immunohistochemical, microtomographic (total porosity and connectivity density), and fluorochrome (mineralized surface) anal...

Effects of diode laser application on inflammation and mpo in periodontal tissues in a rat model

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective In this study, we aimed to histologically and immunologically evaluate the effect of diode laser treatment when applied adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) in an experimental periodontitis model. Materials and methods We used Wistar-Albino rats (n=60) with average weight o...

Successful and failed mini-implants: microbiological evaluation and quantification of bacterial endotoxin

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objectives Using two groups of mini-implants (successful and failed) the objectives of this in vivo study were: to evaluate the microbial contamination by the checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization technique and to quantify the bacterial endotoxin by the limulus amebocyte lysate assay. Material a...

Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression in post-treatment apical periodontitis

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective: This study evaluated the expression of pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4 and TGF-β) cytokines in apical periodontitis lesions. Correlations between these cytokines and clinical and cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) dat...
