Synergistic effect of thymoquinone and nystatin in the treatment of oral candidiasis; an in vitro study.

The effectiveness of antifungal agents may be insufficient against resistant strains in some cases of oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effect of thymoquinone against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata and Candida krusei strains and the synergistic antifungal activity of these strains in combination with nystatin. To evaluate in vitro antifungal activity and interactions between thymoquinone and nystatin, substances were tested against Candida albicans ATCC 10,231, C.

Influence of Abutment Design on Stress Distribution in Narrow Implants with Marginal Bone Loss: A Finite Element Analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of solid (one-piece) and two-piece abutments on the stress profile of narrow implants with marginal bone loss.

Materials And Methods: Solid and two-piece abutments were connected to a conical internal octagon-connection implant (3.3 mm in diameter, 10 mm in length) and restored with a single crown.
