Short term sodium alendronate administration improves the peri-implant bone quality in osteoporotic animals

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (1), 2017
Abstract Sodium alendronate is a bisphosphonate drug that exerts antiresorptive action and is used to treat osteoporosis. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone repair process at the bone/implant interface of osteoporotic rats treated with sodium alendronate through the analysis of mi...

Osteoporosis and autophagy: What is the relationship?

Summary Autophagy is a survival pathway wherein non-functional proteins and organelles are degraded in lysosomes for recycling and energy production. Therefore, autophagy is fundamental for the maintenance of cell viability, acting as a quality control process that prevents the accumulation of unnecessar...

Mecanismos intracelulares induzidos por leucotrienos durante a diferenciação osteogênica

Os leucotrienos (LTs) são mediadores inflamatórios derivados da via 5- lipoxigenase (5-LO), com contribuição relevante na reabsorção óssea. Neste estudo investigamos o papel dos LTs na diferenciação osteogênica e o seu impacto na osteoclatogênese. Assim, foi avaliado o perfil ósseo dos camund...

The efficacy of low-level 940 nm laser therapy with different energy intensities on bone healing

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-level 940 nm laser therapy with energy intensities of 5, 10 and 20 J/cm2 on bone healing in an animal model. A total of 48 female adult Wistar rats underwent surgery to create bone defects in the right tibias. Low-level laser therapy (LLL...

BiodentineTM is cytocompatible with human primary osteoblasts

Abstract Calcium silicate-based materials have been widely studied due to their resemblance to, and similar applicability of, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Among these, Biodentine™ (BD) was specifically designed as a "dentin replacement" material for applications such as root perforations, apex...

The role of Osterix protein in the pathogenesis of peripheral ossifying fibroma

Abstract Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of oral tissues, associated with local factors such as trauma or presence of dental biofilm. POF treatment consists of curettage of the lesion combined with root scaling of adjacent teeth and/or removal of other sources of irritants. This s...

Interações do laser de baixa potência sobre as peroxirredoxinas no processo de reparo: revisão de literatura

Rev. Salusvita (Online); 36 (4), 2017
Introdução: uma variedade de estudos vem demonstrando que o laser de baixa potência estimula a osteogênese. Os mecanismos propostos para o efeito bioestimulador do laser envolvem aumento da síntese de ATP e formação de espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs) pelas mitocôndrias. Estas EROs, incluin...

Tridax procumbens flavonoids: a prospective bioactive compound increased osteoblast differentiation and trabecular bone formation

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: The Tridax procumbens extracts (TPE) are known for their ethno-medicinal properties to increase osteogenic functioning in mesenchymal stem cells. Recently, we found that the T. procumbens flavonoids (TPF) significantly suppressed the RANKL-induced osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorpti...
