Is the extraction of third molars a risk factor for the temporomandibular disorders? A systematic review

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate through a systematic review the extraction of third molars as a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Types of studies reviewed Randomized and nonrandomized controlled clinical trials where patients underwent third molar extraction and with qualitative evaluation of TMDs before and after...

Mapping the expression of beam hardening artefacts produced by metal posts positioned in different regions of the dental arch

03:00

Abstract Objectives To objectively assess the expression and direction of artefacts in the vicinity of metal posts positioned in different mandibular regions. Materials and methods A human mandible had two sockets prepared—anterior and posterior regions—to accommodate a single-rooted tooth. Two CBCT units, Picasso Trio and OP300, were used. CBCT images of...

Sun Aug 09, 2020 03:00

Abstract Purpose To test the hypothesis that periodontitis is associated with AD and search whether periodontal and other variables would negatively impact the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) perception. Materials and methods Oral examinations and interview on self-perceived oral health status (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) questionnaire...

Genotoxicity of root canal sealers: a literature review

Sun Aug 09, 2020 03:00

Abstract Objectives Root canal sealers are widely used worldwide in endodontics to prevent reinfection and growth of surviving microorganisms. Considering the strong correlation between genetic damage and carcinogenesis, evaluation of genotoxicity induced by endodontic sealers is recommended for elucidating the true health risks to patients and professionals. The purpose of this article was to provide a comprehensive review of studies...

Development of lung metastases in mouse models of tongue squamous cell carcinoma

Fri Aug 07, 2020 17:34

Abstract Objective Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) represents 3‐4% of all cancers. Despite the increasing incidence of OSCC distant metastasis and poor prognosis, few animal models of OSCC distant metastasis have been reported. In this study, we established mouse models of OSCC lung metastasis by orthotopic and tail vein injection of new OSCC cell lines. Methods For the tail vein model, we used a novel cell line isolated from lung metastases reproduced in vivo after intravenous injection...

Finding distinctions between oral cancer and periodontitis using saliva metabolites and machine learning

Fri Aug 07, 2020 17:18

Abstract Objective The aim of this research is study of metabolic pathways related to oral cancer and periodontitis along with development of machine‐learning model for elucidation of these diseases based on saliva metabolites of patients. Methods Data mining, metabolomic pathways analysis, study of metabolite–gene networks related to these diseases. Machine‐learning and deep‐learning methods for development of the model for recognition of oral cancer vs periodontitis using patients’ saliva....

Long noncoding RNA TUG1 participates in LPS‐induced periodontitis by regulating miR‐498/RORA pathway

Thu Aug 06, 2020 22:14

Abstract Aim This study was aimed to investigate the role of TUG1 in LPS‐stimulated hPDLCs, and to evaluate the potential functions of TUG1 in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Methods LPS‐stimulated hPDLCs were established as the cell model. CCK‐8 assay was performed to assess cell proliferation ability. Flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle distribution, and quantitative RT‐PCR and western blotting were conducted to measure gene expressions. ELISA kits were used to evaluate...
