Experimental gel containing bioactive glass-ceramic to minimize the pulp damage caused by dental bleaching in rats

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated if the use of a bioactive glass-ceramic-based gel, named Biosilicate (BS), before, after or mixed with bleaching gel, could influence the inflammation of the dental pulp tissue of rats' molars undergoing dental bleaching with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Methodolo...

Evidence of validity and reliability of the adaptive functioning scale for intellectual disability (EFA-DI)

Psicol. reflex. crit; 33 (), 2020
Abstract Intellectual disability (ID) is a developmental disorder characterized by deficits in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) defines adaptive functioning as a severity measure of ID. The availability ...

Two years into the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative: reflections on conducting a large-scale replication of Brazilian biomedical science

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
Scientists have increasingly recognised that low methodological and analytical rigour combined with publish-or-perish incentives can make the published scientific literature unreliable. As a response to this, large-scale systematic replications of the literature have emerged as a way to assess the proble...

Padronização dos parâmetros latência e amplitude no registro dos potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico com o estímulo Ichirp de banda estreita em adultos audiologicamente normais

Validity evidences of the prefrontal symptoms inventory for the elderly brazilian population

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to translate the Prefrontal Symptoms Inventory (PSI) (abbreviated version) for the elderly into Brazilian Portuguese, evaluate its psychometric properties, and investigate if the PSI could distinguish between groups with (clinical group) and without (non-clinical group) a dia...

Perceived Opportunities to Craft Scale: adaptation and evidence of the construct validity of the Brazilian version

Psicol. reflex. crit; 33 (), 2020
Abstract Employees' perceived opportunities to craft (POCs) influence actual job crafting behavior, which may have consequences for their well-being and work performance. This study aimed to validate the perceived opportunities to craft scale (POCS) in the Brazilian context. We collected data from Brazil...

Psychometric properties of empathy questionnaire for Spanish adolescents

Psicol. reflex. crit; 33 (), 2020
Abstract The aim of this study was to adapt and test the empathy questionnaire in Spanish adolescents (N = 701, age = 13.47 years). The study involved two different strands: (1) the questionnaire was translated into Spanish, and its internal consistency, factorial structure and convergent validity were a...

Microcirculation changes in gingival tissue after ultrasonic tooth preparation in beagle dogs

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Ultrasonic wave technology is widely used during dental treatments. We previously demonstrated that this method protects the gingival tissue. However, the physiological change on the gingival microvasculature caused by this method remains unclear. Objective The aim of this study was to investi...

Evaluation of dentinogenesis inducer biomaterials: an in vivo study

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract When exposure of the pulp to external environment occurs, reparative dentinogenesis can be induced by direct pulp capping to maintain pulp tissue vitality and function. These clinical situations require the use of materials that induce dentin repair and, subsequently, formation of a mineralized ...

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...
