Tongue-tie: incidence and outcomes in breastfeeding after lingual frenotomy in 2333 newborns
(MRE Press, 2022)
Aim: To determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in newborns with breastfeeding problems and to assess the effectiveness of frenotomy in the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding at 1 month, 3 months ...
Effect of the acid-etching on grit-blasted dental implants to improve osseointegration: histomorphometric analysis of the bone-implant contact in the rabbit tibia model
(MDPI, 2021)
Previous studies have shown that the most reliable way to evaluate the success of an implant is by bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Recent techniques allow modifications to the implant surface that improve ...
Comparison of changes in the dental transverse and sagittal planes between patients treated with self-ligating and with conventional brackets
(Scientific Electronic Library Online, 2020)
Introduction: Several advantages have been established regarding the efficiency of self-ligating brackets (SL). In spite of some controversy surrounding this question in the literature, clinical results ...
Nasopharyngeal microbiota in children with invasive pneumococcal disease: identification of bacteria with potential disease-promoting and protective effects
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Background and Aims: The risk of suffering from some infectious diseases can be related to specific microbiota profiles. Specifically, the nasopharyngeal microbiota could play a role as a risk or ...
Physicochemical and biological characterization of Ti6Al4V particles obtained by implantoplasty: an in vitro study. Part I
(MDPI, 2021)
Implantoplasty is a mechanical decontamination technique that consists of polishing the supra-osseous component of the dental implant with peri-implantitis. This technique releases metal particles in ...
Development of standard protocols for biofilm-biomaterial interface testing
(Elsevier, 2022)
The oral biofilm is associated with the most common oral diseases such as caries, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. It is also linked to failures of dental treatment approaches (eg, direct or indirect ...
Effect of stabilized martensite on the long-term performance of superelastic NiTi endodontic files
(MDPI, 2023)
One of the most used rotary files in endodontics is NiTi files due to their superelastic properties. This property means that this instrument has extraordinary flexion that can adapt to large angles ...
COVID-19 lockdown: impact on oral health-related behaviors and practices of portuguese and spanish children
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to assess and compare the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on the oral health attitudes, dietary habits and access to dental care of Portuguese and Spanish children. A cross-sectional ...
Effects of occipital-atlas stabilization on the upper cervical spine rotation combinations: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2023)
The purpose of this study is to compare axial rotation range of motion for the upper cervical spine during three movements: axial rotation, rotation + flexion + ipsilateral lateral bending and ...
In vitro study of shear bond strength in direct and indirect bonding with three types of adhesive systems
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remaining index (ARI) using one conventional and two novel adhesive systems with clinical step reduction and direct and indirect ...
