Carnoy's solution has been widely undertaken as adjunctive therapy for benign odontogenic tumors. Although its outcomes were highly investigated, little information is available regarding its mechanism of action and the role of chloroform in composition. The aim of this study was to characterize Carnoy's solution (with and without chloroform) in order to survey its physicochemical and pharmacological properties...

Purpose: To evaluate different therapeutic Carnoy's solution formulations on hard human tissues. Materials and methods: An in vitro study was performed with human teeth (n ¼ 36) and bone fragments (n ¼ 18), randomly divided into two experimental groups (Group I ¼ Carnoy solution with chloroform; Group II ¼ Carnoy solution without chloroform) and a control group (saline solution). The groups were subdivided into...
Celiac disease (CD) is a permanent intolerance to gluten proteins contained in some cereals such as wheat, rye, barley and oats. It is an enteropathy mediated by the immune system and therefore also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy. It is characterized by total or subtotal villous atrophy of the proximal small intestine, leading consequently to poor absorption of most nutrients. The disease manifests itsel...
This study aimed to evaluate whether pre-emptive analgesia modifies the tissue expression of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and whether there is an association with postoperative surgical outcomes. A triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of patients undergoing mandibular third molar removal was performed. Volunteers were allocated randomly to receive etoricoxib...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bleeding complications after dental extractions in patients on anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) in whom different local hemostatic methods were used. Material and methods Patients using warfari...
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare hereditary condition caused by changes in collagen metabolism. It is classified into four types according to clinical, genetic, and radiological criteria. Clinically, bone fragility, short stature, blue sclerae, and locomotion difficulties may be observed in this disease. OI is often associated to severe dental problems, such as dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) and malocclus...
