Design as leverage - mapping solutions

Design students on their learning path need to know the different phases of a design project, from the background research until reaching the final proposals. This research developed in the context of learning, propose to introduce exploratory phases that could promote reflexivity, where students can iteratively explore various codes and patterns of information. This research focuses on identifying design liter...

Mapping the awareness of a place

A place branding project involves different phases, from the background research to reaching the final proposals. This paper presents results of a research developed in the context of learning focused on a project of Place branding concerning a Megalithic heritage. The project presented challenges in clearly communicating what a Megalithic heritage is (a heritage that displays a tenuous interpretation of its co...

Knowledge and attitudes of dentists and dental students in the early diagnosis ...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the knowledge and attitudes of dentists and dental students regarding the early diagnosis of oral cancer. Study Design: Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to students on an integrated master’s degree in dentistry and to dentists. The data were then entered into SPSS, where they were statistically processed. Results: A total of 192 responses...

Feline Infectious Peritonitis Effusion Index: A Novel Diagnostic Method and Val...

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led the medical and scientific community to explore the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of coronaviruses. In felines, a widespread coronavirus known as feline coronavirus (FCoV) can lead to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a highly fatal disease characterised by severe systemic inflammation. Diagnosing FCoV remains ch...

TAM pathway proteins as novel salivary biomarkers for periodontitis

Background The identification of molecular biomarkers that help clinicians in early diagnosis is a key focus of periodontal research. The major aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess whether salivary TAM pathway protein levels have the potential to discriminate between periodontally healthy or gingivitis controls and periodontitis patients, including those with mild (I/II) or severe (III/...

Influence of horizontal intraoral scan bodies on the trueness of digital impres...

Objective: To assess the impact of horizontal intraoral scan bodies (H-ISBs) on the trueness of complete-arch digital impressions compared to vertical ISBs (V-ISBs). To evaluate trueness among four intraoral scanners (IOS) and inter-operator variability across different ISB × IOS combinations. Materials and Methods: Digital impressions were made from a dental cast with four multi-unit analogs using four H-ISBs:...

Histological, clinical assessment, and treatment of a permanent filler complica...

There is a considerable increase in the use of substances and medical procedures aimed at changing the esthetics of the face, particularly the appearance of the lips. Permanent fillers such as polydimethylsiloxane, also called liquid silicone, are widely used, but their application for facial esthetics is currently obsolete. Silicone belongs to this polymer family; its viscosity is determined by its degree of p...

Using the modified apical access technique to treat peri-implant mucosa defects...

The importance of augmenting the peri-implant soft- and hard-tissue architecture is now widely accepted. However, while most contemporary research supports this premise, clinicians are encountering peri-implant soft tissue defects with increasing frequency, which they are therefore required to reconstruct. These complications can result from the difficulty of establishing an appropriate diagnosis and treatment ...
