Quantification and gene expression of Lactobacillus casei group species associa...
Reis, Ana Catarina Martins; Bezerra, Daniela da Silva; Hart-Chu, Erika Nikitza Shiauha; Stipp, Rafael Nóbrega; Guedes, Sarah Florindo de FigueiredoBackground Considering that the Lactobacillus casei group is strongly associated with caries progression, the use of lactobacilli as probiotics must be balanced due to their possible involvement in dental caries. Objective This study aimed to detect and quantify L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus, and L. casei group species in the active and arrested dentinal lesions of preschoolers. It also aimed to determine the expr...
Expressão de genes de virulência de Streptococcus mutans em biofilme In vivo de...
Guedes, Sarah Florindo de FigueiredoStreptococcus mutans is an oral pathogen considered to play a major role in dental caries development. It has been considered the most cariogenic microorganism of the oral microbiota, because it is acidogenic, tolerance to acid pH and capability of forming a firm and wellstructured three-dimensional biofilm. A better understanding of the various virulence mechanisms and the ecological role of S. mutans in the b...
Proteínas salivares como biomarcadores para cárie dentária
Guedes, Sarah Florindo de FigueiredoThe number of studies that correlate salivary proteins and dental caries have incre ased considerably, however, there is not sufficient evidence to classify them as specific biomarkers for the disease. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of saliva proteins of patients with early childhood caries (CPI) at different l evels of severity, in order to identify specific potential salivary bioma...
