Composite-derived monomers affect cell viability and cytokine expression in hum...
Neves,Sheyla Omonte; Magalhães,Luísa Mourão Dias; Corrêa,Jôice Dias; Dutra,Walderez Ornelas; Gollob,Kenneth John; Silva,Tarcília AparecidaAbstract Objectives: Dental composites release unreacted resin monomers into the oral environment, even after polymerization. Periodontal cells are, therefore, exposed to substances that potentially elicit the immune inflammatory response. The underlying molecular mechanisms associated with the interaction between resin monomers and human immune cells found in the gingival crevicular fluid are not fully underst...
Stromal myofibroblasts in focal reactive overgrowths of the gingiva
Damasceno,Leonardo Silveira; Gonçalves,Fernanda da Silva; Silva,Edson Costa e; Zenóbio,Elton Gonçalves; Souza,Paulo Eduardo AlencarFocal reactive overgrowths are among the most common oral mucosal lesions. The gingiva is a significant site affected by these lesions, when triggered by chronic inflammation in response to microorganisms in dental plaque. Myofibroblasts are differentiated fibroblasts that actively participate in diseases characterized by tissue fibrosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of stromal myofi...
