• Biological properties of experimental dental alginate modified for self-disinfection using green nanotechnology

  30 septembre
  Abstract Objectives Disinfection of alginate impression materials is a mandatory step to prevent cross-infection in dental clinics. However, alginate disinfection methods are time-consuming and exert a negative impact on accuracy and mechanical properties. Thus, this study aimed to prepare (...)

• Pocket closure after repeated subgingival instrumentation : a stress test to the EFP guideline for stage III-IV periodontitis

  29 septembre
  Abstract Objectives To study the effects of one or two repeated subgingival instrumentations (RSI) in achieving the endpoints of therapy (EoT) in open pockets [residual probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 6 mm and PPD 4–5 mm with bleeding on probing (BoP)] after steps I-II of therapy. Materials and (...)

• Association between polymorphisms of anti-inflammatory gene alleles and periodontitis risk in a Chinese Han population

  29 septembre
  Abstract Objective Cytokines that mediate the immune responses are important in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The genetic polymorphisms of IL-10, TNFAIP3 (A20), and NF-κB1 (p105/p50) and their association with the risk of periodontitis were investigated. Method Venous blood from 102 (...)

• Mechanical force application and inflammation induce osteoclastogenesis by independent pathways

  29 septembre
  Abstract Objective To investigate the functional changes of PDL fibroblasts in the presence of mechanical force, inflammation, or a combination of force and inflammation. Materials and methods Inflammatory supernatants were prepared by inoculating human neutrophils with Porphyromonas (...)

• Characteristics of oral microbiota and oral health in the patients treated with clear aligners : a prospective study

  29 septembre
  Abstract Objectives In this prospective clinical study, the effect of clear aligners on periodontal health and oral hygiene was examined. As the same time, microbial changes of the aligner tray and subgingival microbiota community were investigated. Methods The study recruited fifteen (...)
