Validation and adaptation of Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire – Sho...
Santos, Cristina; Costa, Tiago; Matos, Teresa; Saraiva, JoséCinetosis or motion sickness is a normal physiological response associated with the organism's exposure to motion or movement in the visual environment. The susceptibility and severity of this symptom can be assessed using the Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire – Short Form, a widely used instrument for measuring susceptibility to motion sickness, translated and validated in several languages. The pre...
The role of illustration in pediatric hospitalization. : A collaborative projec...
Saraiva, José; Varzim, Marta; Cordeiro, HelenaHealth services, in particular pediatric units in a hospital, are increasingly committed to human well-being, on the one hand by researching more effective treatments, on the other hand by promoting emotional well-being for their patients, caregivers and professionals. The investment in making hospital environments and services more humane is evident in several studies and projects disseminated around the world...
Acute Kidney Injury after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: The heterogenei...
Sousa, Patrícia; Moreira, Raquel; Saraiva, José; Cerqueira, Rui J.; Barros, António S.; Saraiva, Francisca A.; Leite-Moreira, AdelinoIntroduction: Meta-analysis is the method to pool data from studies that report the same event in a comparable sample and, thus, summarize information from different populations. However, data extraction is limited to the information provided in the included studies. Frequently, individual patient information is not available, hence, real world data access is limited. Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis...
Isolation and Identification of Cytotoxic Compounds Present in Biomaterial Life®
Ferreira, Maria Beatriz; Pereira, Nelson A. M.; Marto, Carlos Miguel; Cardoso, Miguel; Amaro, Inês; Coelho, Ana; Saraiva, José; Spagnuolo, GianricoDirect pulp capping consists of a procedure in which a material is directly placed over the exposed pulp to maintain dental vitality. Although still widely used in clinical practice, previous in vitro studies found that the biomaterial Life® presented high cytotoxicity, leading to cell death. This study aimed to identify the Life® constituents responsible for its cytotoxic effects on odontoblast-like cells (MDP...

Mechanical and Tribological Characterization of a Bioactive Composite Resin
Carneiro, Elsa Reis; Coelho, Ana Sofia; Amaro, Inês; Paula, Anabela Baptista; Marto, Carlos Miguel; Saraiva, José; Ferreira, Manuel MarquesDespite developments and advances in dental materials which allow for greater restorative performance, there are still challenges and questions regarding the formulation of new compositions and chemical reactions of materials used in restorative dentistry. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the mechanical and tribological characteristics of a bioactive resin, a composite resin, and a glass ionomer....
The Influence of Irrigation during the Finishing and Polishing of Composite Res...
Silva, João Paulo; Coelho, Ana Sofia; Paula, Anabela; Amaro, Inês Flores; Saraiva, José; Ferreira, Manuel Marques; Marto, Carlos MiguelThe surface smoothness of composite restorations affects not only their esthetic appearance but also other properties. Thus, rough surfaces can lead to staining, plaque accumulation, gingival irritation, recurrent caries, abrasiveness, wear kinetics, and tactile perception by the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigation during the finishing and polishing of composite resin rest...
Mechanical Characterization of Two Dental Restorative Materials after Acidic Ch...
Coelho, Ana; Paula, Anabela; Amaro, Inês Flores; Marto, Carlos; Costa, Nuno; Saraiva, José; Ferreira, Manuel Marques; Antunes, Pedro; Carrilho, EuniceThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of acidic beverages on the mechanical characteristics of a nanofilled composite resin and of a glass ionomer. Thirty specimens of each restorative material were produced and were evaluated at three different time points: before immersion (T0), after a 7 day immersion (T1) and after a 14 day immersion (T2) in water, beer and a soft drink. The studied parameters w...
Minimally Invasive Dentistry for Pre-Eruptive Enamel Lesions—A Case Series
Manaia, Mariana; Rocha, Larissa; Saraiva, José; Coelho, Ana; Amaro, Inês; Marto, Carlos Miguel; Vale, Francisco; Ferreira, Manuel MarquesPre-eruptive enamel lesions occur during tooth formation and include fluorosis, traumatic hypomineralization, and molar incisor hypomineralization. Minimally invasive treatment approaches, such as microabrasion, should be considered for these cases. This article presents a case series of three patients with pre-eruptive enamel defects in esthetically compromised tooth regions which were treated with the microab...
Effect of Cavity Disinfectants on Adhesion to Primary Teeth-A Systematic Review
Coelho, Ana; Amaro, Inês; Paula, Anabela; Saraiva, José; Ferreira, Manuel Marques; Marto, Carlos Miguel; Carrilho, Eunice; Apolónio, AnaSome authors have been proposing the use of cavity disinfectants in order to reduce, or even eliminate, the effect of the microorganisms present in a dental cavity before a restoration is placed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different cavity disinfectants on bond strength and clinical success of composite and glass ionomer restorations on primary teeth. The research was conducted using Co...
