Antibacterial effect of Leucocyte and Platelet Rich-Fibrin against Klebsiella p...
Mendes, Ana Francisca; Coelho, Cristina; Mendes, Inês; Silva, Laura; Melo-Ferraz, António; Begoña Criado, Maria; Monteiro, Maria do Céu; Miller, PauloLeukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a platelet concentrate used in diverse areas of tissue healing and regeneration. Thus, its antibacterial properties are promising. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial effect of L-PRF, in its exudate and membrane forms, against oral cavity opportunistic bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Blood samples were collected from three healthy...
Accuracy of the electronic method versus the radiographic method in determining...
Marques, Celia Eduarda; Delphim, Marcella; Fidalgo-Pereira, Rita; Melo-Ferraz, António; Miller, Paulo; Torres, OrlandaIntroduction: The radiographic method is widely used to calculate the working length (CT). However, it presents limitations that, to overcome them, apical electronic locators (LEAs) were developed to allow greater accuracy and reliability in determining the CT. Objective: The present study aims to perform an integrative systematic review and gather the available scientific evidence on the method that allows gre...

Efficacy of Reciproc Blue and ProDesign R reciprocating files in the removal of...
Farias, Andreia Lilian Viana; Limoeiro, Ana Grasiela da Silva; Ferraz, Antônio Melo; Nascimento, Wayne Martins; Fernandes, ValterThe aim of the present study was to conduct an integrative review on the mechanical properties of Reciproc Blue and ProDesign R reciprocating systems and the efficacy of these files in removing root filling materials. The search was carried out on the PUBMED using following combinations of scientific terms: Reciproc Blue, ProDesign R, resistance, mechanical properties, thermal treatment and endodontic retreatme...
Root intracanal posts on rehabilitation of endodontic treated teeth – a narrati...
Fernandes, Valter; Ferraz, António; Ferreira, Sónia; Carvalho, Oscar; Silva, Filipe; Miller, Paulo; Souza, JúlioIntroduction: Considering the long-term performance of endodontically treated teeth, several factors can lead to mechanical failures, mainly in teeth involving excessive structural loss. Objective: The main purpose of this paper was to perform a narrative review on root intracanal posts on teeth with a lack of remnant tooth tissues. Results: Results from previous studies pointed out the importance of maintainin...
