Esta se define por una elevación de enzimas como la fosfatasa alcalina (Alkaline Phosphatase, ALP) y ...

Impact of calcium aluminate cement with additives on dental pulp-derived cells

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) has been highlighted as a promising alternative for endodontic use aiming at periapical tissue repair. However, its effects on dental pulp cells have been poorly explored. Objective: This study assessed the impact of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and bismuth oxide (Bi2O...

Effect of enhanced masticatory force on OPG, RANKL and MGF in alveolar bone of ovariectomized rats

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Menopause induces oral bone loss, leading to various oral diseases. Mastication importantly affects bone metabolism in the jawbone. Objective: To analyze the effect of enhanced masticatory force on osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), and mechano-g...

Mineral bone disorder and osteoporosis in hemodialysis patients

Adv Rheumatol; 60 (), 2020
Abstract Background: Bone disease is common in patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is the result of bone turnover abnormalities and the decrease of bone mineral density (BMD). We aimed to determine the usefulness of serum bone turnover markers and BMD measurement by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DX...
