Dental pulp of the third molar: a new source of pluripotent-like stem cells
(Company of Biologists, 2012-09-05)
Dental pulp is particularly interesting in regenerative medicine because of the accessibility and differentiation potential of the tissue.
Dental pulp has an early developmental origin with multi-lineage ...
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 ...
The atypical cyclin CNTD2 promotes colon cancer cell proliferation and migration
(Scientific Reports, 2018-08-07)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with 8–10% of these tumours presenting a BRAF (V600E) mutation. Cyclins are known oncogenes deregulated in many cancers, but the role ...
Do topical applications of bisphosphonates improve bone formation in oral implantology? A systematic review
(Medicina Oral, 2017)
Background: The aim of this systematic literature review was to evaluate the feasibility of topical bisphosphonate application for preserving/enhancing alveolar bone in oral implantology. Material and ...
Nanotopological-tailored calcium phosphate cements for the odontogenic stimulation of human dental pulp stem cells through integrin signaling
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-07-16)
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are a unique class of inorganic injectables attractive for the repair and regeneration of hard tissues. Tailoring the crystallite properties of CPC, particularly to ...
Antibacterial coatings on titanium surfaces: a comparison study between in vitro single-species and multispecies biofilm
(American Chemical Society Publications, 2015)
Dental plaque is a biofilm that causes dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Most of the studies in antibacterial coatings have been conducted by in vitro single-species biofilm formation, but ...
Determination of fluid leakages in the different screw-retained implant-abutment connections in a mechanical artificial mouth
(Springer, 2015-07-15)
This study shows the potential risk of microfiltration between two different types of implant-abutment connections screwed at 45 Ncm: external and internal. For the first time the use of a mechanical ...
Optimizing surgical results from facial trauma through a facial basal registration
(Crimson Publishers, 2018)
Surgery is the treatment of choice for most of maxillofacial fractures (MFF). Hence, three-dimensional (3D) virtual planning with computer software technologies and navigation assisted surgery has emerged ...
PLA-based mineral-doped scaffolds seeded with human periapical cyst-derived MSCs: a promising tool for regenerative healing in dentistry
(MDPI, 2019)
Human periapical cyst mesenchymal stem cells (hPCy-MSCs) are a newly discovered cell population innovatively collected from inflammatory periapical cysts. The use of this biological waste guarantees a ...
The role of hardness and roughness on the wear of different CoCrMo counterfaces on UHMWPE for artificial joints
(Springer, 2011)
Wear tests were carried out to study the effect of the hardness and roughness with various counterface materials on UHMWPE wear behaviour. The materials used as counterfaces were based on varieties of ...
