Association between IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-1RN polymorphisms and peri-implantitis ...

Recent studies report that individuals with polymorphisms in the genes that encode for interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β (IL-1A and IL1B, respectively) and for IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) may be more susceptible in developing peri-implantitis. Therefore, the current systematic review evaluates what is reported about the role of genetics, more specifically of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on IL-1 and v...

Association between IL-1A and IL-1B gene polymorphisms with peri-implantitis in...

Background: Scientific evidence indicates that biological complications in dental implants tend to be concentrated in a subset of individuals, which seems to imply that the host response may play a determining role in implant success. Over the last few decades, several polymorphisms have been studied. Polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL) 1 gene cluster have been associated with periodontitis. There are some si...

Revisiting standard and novel therapeutic approaches in halitosis : a review

Halitosis, or bad breath, is an oral health problem characterized by an unpleasant malodor emanating from the oral cavity. This condition can have different origins and causes a negative burden in social interactions, communication and quality of life, and can in uncommon cases be indicative of underlying non-oral non-communicable diseases. Most cases of halitosis are due to inadequate oral hygiene, periodontit...

COVID-19 management in clinical dental care part II : personal protective equip...

Background: Facing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) challenge on a global level, dental care professionals are encouraged to optimize universal precautions and adopt measures that ensure protection against infection by contaminated aerosols and droplets. Although aerosol transmission is possible, direct contact through large droplets is probably responsible for the vast majority of transmissions. Methods...

Single application of 0.8% hyaluronic acid as a coadjuvant of nonsurgical treat...

Background: Topical coadjuvants might be indicated to increase the results of nonsurgical periodontal treatment and overcome some of its limitations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits of a single topical application of 0.8% hyaluronic acid (HA) as a coadjuvant to scaling and root planing (SRP) in periodontal patients. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients diagnosed with periodontitis...

"Objetivos: Analisar o possível efeito da menopausa sobre a perda dentária em mulheres com periodontite crónica. Materiais e Métodos: 102 mulheres entre os 35 e 80 anos com periodontite crónica e pelo menos seis dentes foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo de estudo (GE) constituído por 68 mulheres na menopausa e grupo controle (GC) constituído por 34 mulheres pré-menopáusicas. Foi aplicado um questionário onde...
