Impact of catastrophizing on pain during orthodontic treatment

ABSTRACT Objective: This study proposed to investigate the influence of catastrophizing and others factors related to pain during orthodontic treatment. Methods: 27 patients with 0.022 x 0.028-in Straight-wire brackets were evaluated during alignment and leveling phase with nickel-titanium wires. Visua...

Effects of restraint stress and high-fat diet on osseointegration of titanium implants: an experimental study

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic restraint stress (RS) and a high-fat diet (HFD) on the osseointegration of titanium implants in a rat model. After the surgical insertion of titanium implants into the metaphysis of the tibial bone, the rats were randomly divided into four e...

Caracterização e avaliação randomizada de superfícies de liga de titânio modificada por hidroxiapatita e hidroxiapatita incorporada com estrôncio em ratas saudáveis e osteoporóticas

Este estudo objetivou caracterizar os tratamentos de superfície com hidroxiapatita e hidroxiapatita modificada por estrôncio em duas concentrações (10 e 90%) sobre superfícies de liga de titânio, e avaliar a sua osseointegração em tíbias de ratas saudáveis e osteoporóticas. Foram utilizados pa...

Torsional Resistance of Two New Heat Treated Nickel Titanium Rotary Instruments: An in Vitro Evaluation

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the difference in torsional resistance, angular deflection and fragment length between two new rotary instruments: AF Blue S4 and S-One. These files share all features except cross-sectional design. Material and Methods: A total of 40 new Nickel-Titanium instruments of ...

Three-dimensional misfit between Ti-Base abutments and implants evaluated by replica technique

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract An important factor affecting the biomechanical behavior of implant-supported reconstructions is the implant-abutment misfit. Objective: This study evaluated the misfit between Ti-Base abutments and implants by means of polyvinyl siloxane replica technique using microcomputed tomography (μ...

Effect of a Er, Cr: YSGG laser and a Er: YAG laser treatment on oral biofilm-contaminated titanium

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Implant surface decontamination is a challenging procedure for therapy of peri-implant disease. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of decontamination on oral biofilm-contaminated titanium surfaces in Er:YAG laser, Er, Cr:YSGG laser, and plastic curette. Methodology: For o...
