ABSTRACT Background: Recently, a small peptide called Hepcidin, was found to have an important role in regulating the iron metabolism in anemia of chronic disease (ACD) patients. Hepcidin is regulated by a variety of conditions at the transcriptional level. Therefore, our study aims to predict the level...

Abstract Accurate and rapid diagnostic tools are important aspects of managing tuberculosis (TB) cases appropriately. However, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic kits based on immune response such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) are still debated. Th...

Objective: To analyze the relationship between age, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral
density (BMD), and alveolar bone resorption with menopause duration in postmenopausal
women. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed involving 59 subjects,
aged 45 to 80 years and categorized the d...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the differences in the stress distribution on the upper first molar with and without transpalatal arch and a second molar when a 150 g force is applied during canine distalization using finite element analysis. Material and Methods: We constructed several models with dat...
Abstract Objective: To analyze the efficacy of retraction cord with a hemostatic agent in comparison with retraction paste on lateral gingival displacement, to achieve the success of fixed dental prostheses (FDP). Material and Methods: Test samples included 32 teeth that required treatment with metal-p...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of gargling the solution of ant nest extract against plaque formation in children who experience Early Childhood Caries (ECC) when used as a mouthwash. Material and Methods: This study uses a pretest-posttest design with a control group. Thirty children...
Abstract Objective: To analyze the relationships between infant birth weight and maternal mastication ability, caloric intake, and body mass index (BMI) of women with posterior tooth loss. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 52 females aged 20-35 years who gave birth recently...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the susceptibility of S. mutans during growth as a biofilm in the presence of different concentrations of propolis. Material and Methods: Three different concentrations of ethanolic extract of propolis (10%, 5%, and 2.5%) were used to evaluate its potential to attenuate ...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the mRNA transcription level of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the selected clinical periodontal healing at one month of scaling and root planing. Material and Methods: A total of six chronic periodontitis patients and one periodontally h...
Abstract Objective: To compare the antibacterial efficacy of Cuminum cyminum (cumin) extract and 2% chlorhexidine. Material and Methods: E. faecalis was isolated from non-vital teeth with chronic apical abscess. Samples were then bred in the ChromAgar medium. Subsequently, E. faecalis bacteria's DNA ex...
