J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Vitamin D has been known to have important regulatory functions in inflammation and immune response and shows inhibitory effects on experimental periodontitis in animal models. However, the potential mechanism has yet to be clarified. Recent studies have highlighted Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ah...

Effects of TiO2 NPs coating-titanium for fibroblast adhesion

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of coating nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) and irradiation -UV on plates of titanium (Ti) for the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). A total of 15 Ti plates were divided into three groups (n = 5); (i) contr...
