Sapindus Mukurossi - An Effective Biocleanser for Removable Dental Prostheses? An Study.

This study aims to determine the efficient concentration of Sapindus mukorossi that can be used as a denture cleanser. 60 heat cure denture base resin specimens of dimensions 10*10*2 mm were fabricated. Among these, 30 were fabricated by compression moulding technique and the remaining 30 by an injection moulding technique.

Stress Distribution on Short Implants with Varying Crown Heights - An Study.

The aim of this study is to determine the stress in short implants loaded with varying crown heights using a 3D finite element analysis. A total of three mandibular sectional bone blocks depicting the mandibular left first molar region were modeled. Each block carried Bicon implants of the same size and was designated B1, B2, and B3.

Identification of apigenin-4'-glucoside as bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitor by QSAR modeling, molecular docking, DFT, molecular dynamics, and in vitro confirmation studies.

Context: It is well known that antibiotic resistance is a major health hazard. To eradicate antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, it is essential to find a novel antibacterial agent. Hence, in this study, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was developed using 43 DNA gyrase inhibitors, and 700 natural compounds were screened for their antibacterial properties.

Comparison of Surface Topography Changes from Conventional Metal Brackets and Self-Ligating Metal Brackets after Immersion in Three Different Mouthwashes using Atomic Force Microscopy: An Study.

Unlabelled: In orthodontics, the surface roughness and corrosion behavior due to metal ion releases in orthodontic brackets and archwires affect the effectiveness of tooth movement. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can provide three-dimensional information measurements which are used to evaluate the quantitative analysis of the surface changes of orthodontic brackets. Stainless steel orthodontic brackets and wires can release metal ions which lead to corrosion when exposed to various types of mouthwash.

Mixed azo dyes degradation by an intracellular azoreductase enzyme from alkaliphilic Bacillus subtilis: a molecular docking study.

The rise of pollution due to the dye industries and textile wastes are evolving rapidly every day. The dyes are used in different trade names by the textile industries. The actual chemistry of dye is vague and difficult to understand even today though we are equipped technically.
