Enhanced mechanical properties, anti-biofilm activity, and cytocompatibility of a methacrylate-based polymer loaded with native multiwalled carbon nanotubes.

Objectives: We aimed to optimize the mechanical and biological properties of a conventional methacrylate-based dental polymer by loading it with double- and triple-walled carbon nanotubes as growth (DTWCNTG).

Methods: A formulation of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (mass ratio = 2:1) was mixed with DTWCNTG at concentrations of 0.0% (control), 0.

Abscess Associated with Sialolith in a Parotid Duct - A Case Report.

Rationale: The aim of this work is to describe the case of a large abscess associated with a sialolith in the parotid duct.

Patient Concerns: Patient's concern is evident in this pathology, because infection untreated or rapidly spreading infections can be potentially life-threatening secondary to airway compromise or septicemia.

Diagnosis: Clinical examination, ultrasonography of the region, and cone beam computed tomography were requested to confirm the diagnosis of a sialolith associated with a large abscess.

Taking advantage of an unerupted third molar: a case report.

Introduction:: Treatments with dental surgery seek to displace tooth to the correct position within the dental arch.

Objective:: To report a clinical case that took advantage of an unerupted third molar.

Case History:: A male patient, 18 years of age, was referred by his dentist to evaluate the third molars.

Differential diagnosis of antral pseudocyst. A case report.

Antral pseudocyst (AP) is a process formed by the inflammatory exudate accumulation below the sinuses mucous membrane and causing a sessile elevation. AP is a dome-shaped, well-delineate, faintly radiopaque lesion on the intact floor of the maxillary sinus. A case of AP with an unusual location is presented.

Asynchronous idiopathic bone cavity: a case report.

Idiopathic bone cavity (IBC) is a non-odontogenic intra-osseous lesion that affects the jaws and others bones. The aetiology of IBC remains unknown. IBC is frequently observed as a single radiolucent area with a corticated, well-defined border, a scalloped shape and a minimal effect on the surrounding structures.

Oral myiasis: a case report.

Oral Myiasis is a rare pathology in humans and is associated with poor oral hygiene, alcoholism, senility, suppurating lesions, severe halitosis and others conditions. The treatment is a mechanical removal of the maggots one by one but a systemic treatment with Ivermectin, a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic, have been used for treatment for oral myiasis. We present a case report of a 32-year-old man indigent, alcohol-dependent with an extensive necrotic area and acute swelling in upper lip and fetid odor.
