Avaliação clínica, morfológica e molecular do carcinoma epidermoide oral com envolvimento mandibular

O carcinoma epidermóide (CEC) é a neoplasia maligna mais frequente em cavidade oral, representando aproximadamente 90% de todos os cânceres da boca. Esta neoplasia tem origem no epitélio de revestimento bucal, e a depender do subtipo e da sua localização, pode apresentar tendência marcante de inva...

Association between genetic polymorphisms in rank, rankl and opg and peri-implant diseases in patients from the Amazon Region

Braz. dent. j; 31 (1), 2020
Abstract The present study evaluated polymorphisms in RANK, RANKL and OPG-encoding genes to assess whether they are associated with mucositis and peri-implantitis in a population from the Brazilian Amazon region. One hundred and fourteen patients with dental implants were included in the study. After cli...

Effect of risperidone on proliferation and apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (3), 2019
This aim of this study was to assess the molecular mechanism of osteoporosis in schizophrenia patients with risperidone use. Here, we investigated the effects of risperidone on cellular proliferation and apoptosis of a preosteoblast cell line, MC3T3-E1. Cell viability and apoptotic rate of MC3T3-E1 were ...

Gliclazide reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and bone loss in an experimental periodontal disease model

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gliclazide on oxidative stress, inflammation, and bone loss in an experimental periodontal disease model. Material and Methods Male albino Wistar rats were divided into no ligature, ligature, and ligature with 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg ...

Periodontal disease, peri-implant disease and levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TGF-β and TNF-α: follow-up over 5 years

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TG-β and TNF-α in individuals with diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis in the absence or presence of periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therapy (TMPP) over 5 y...

Evolution of Periodontal Disease: Immune Response and RANK/RANKL/OPG System

Braz. dent. j; 28 (6), 2017
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate markers of bone loss and immune response present in evolution of periodontal disease. One hundred and two Wistar rats were divided into three animals groups: PD0, without ligation and PD15 days and PD60 days, submitted to ligation placement with a sterile 3-...

Different engagement of TLR2 and TLR4 in Porphyromonas gingivalis vs. ligature-induced periodontal bone loss

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the roles of different Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis)-induced and ligature-induced experimental periodontal bone resorption in mice. Wild-type (WT), TLR2 knockout (KO), TLR4KO, and TLR2&4 KO mice with C57...
