Modelo in vitro para el estudio del papel de la unión mesopontina en la generación del sueño de movimientos oculares rápidos y la vigilia

El estudio de las estrategias neurales para la organización del comportamiento en vertebrados constituye un desafío mayor para la Neurociencia. El avance del conocimiento en este campo depende de manera crítica de la utilización de modelos experimentales adecuados que admitan múltiples niveles de an...

Escherichia coli GutM4 produces 2, 5-diketopiperazines and inhibits human pathogens in vitro

Background: It has been a very common practice to use probiotics or their metabolites as alternative antimicrobial strategies for the treatment and prevention of infections as rampant and indiscriminate use of antibiotics causes the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. The objective of this stu...

Evaluation of the anti-cariogenic potential and bond strength to enamel of different fluoridated materials used for bracket bonding

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro and in situ anti-cariogenic potential and bond strength to enamel of materials containing fluoride (F), used for bracket bonding: Transbond XT (GT, negative control), Transbond Plus Color Change (GTF), Transbond-Self-Etching Primer (GSAF) and Vitremer (GV, positive con...

Influence of different treatments of the ceramic surface and thermal cycling on the bond strength of brackets to ceramic

Objective: To evaluate in vitro the effect of different treatments of the ceramic surface and thermal cycling on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic brackets bonded to feldspathic ceramic. Material and method: Ceramic cylinders were divided into four groups (n=4) according to the treatment of cera...

Atorvastatin-medicated dentifrice significantly inhibits CD4+ T cell proliferation: in vitro pilot study

Int. j. morphol; 35 (2), 2017
Reports indicate that statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs), in addition to lowering cholesterol, have an immunomodulatory effect. This effect may be beneficial for the treatment of several diseases, including periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of...

Fracture strength of orthodontic mini-implants

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the design and dimensions of five different brands of orthodontic mini-implants, as well as their influence on torsional fracture strength. Methods: Fifty mini-implants were divided into five groups corresponding to different manufactures (DEN, RMO, C...

In vitro propagation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. ‘Monastrell’

Background: A protocol for the micropropagation of the grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivar ‘Monastrell’ was developed. Initial plant material was obtained from the sanitary selection of grapevine plants performed by real-time RT-PCR to confirm the absence of Grapevine fanleaf virus, Arabis mosaic viru...

Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da lima patência na manutenção do comprimento de trabalho (CT) durante o preparo coroa-ápice, utilizando o sistema oscilatório em canais artificiais de acrílico. Material e método: Foram utilizados 30 cubos de acrílico: a) grupo 1 ...

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...

Correlación entre el comportamiento térmico y composición de sistemas adhesivos

Se realizó un estudio in vitro donde se evaluaron once sistemas adhesivos, para establecer si las condiciones de trabajo clínico favorecen su eficiencia. Se plantea que los sistemas adhesivos autoacondicionantes presentan menor estabilidad térmica que los convencionales. Determinar el comportamiento t...
