The influence of dental bleaching on patient's quality of life: A multistudy analysis of aesthetic and psychosocial outcomes.

Objectives: To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of participants treated with dental bleaching using different techniques by administering two questionnaires Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), as well as the bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity (TS).

Materials And Methods: Secondary results for nine randomized clinical trials were included, involving 489 participants who underwent bleaching procedures. The questionnaires were applied at baseline and 30-day post-bleaching.

A review on tyrosine kinase inhibitors for targeted breast cancer therapy.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with complex molecular pathogenesis. Overexpression of several tyrosine kinase receptors is associated with poor prognosis, therefore, they can be key targets in breast cancer therapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as leading agents in targeted cancer therapy due to their effectiveness in disrupting key molecular pathways involved in tumor growth.

Açaí juice stains a glazed resin-modified glass-ionomer cement.

Unlabelled: Coloured compounds (anthocyanins) in açaí can stain resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC) due to its low staining resistance.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess whether açaí compromises the surface colour and roughness of RMGIC in vitro.

Materials And Method: Disc-shaped specimens (2 mm thick, 8 mm in diameter) of Vitremer™ (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) were prepared according to the manufacturer 's instructions.

A new species of flesh penetrating parasitic copepod of the genus CardiodectesWilson C.B., 1917 (Siphonostomatoida: Pennellidae) parasitizing the fish Spinyjaw greeneye, Chlorophthalmus cornigerAlcock, 1894 (Chlorophthalmidae), inhabiting at depths of 265 to 458 meters from the south-west coast of India is described and illustrated.

Exploring marine Lactobacillus and its protein for probiotic-based oral cancer therapy.

Cancer is a life-threatening malignancy and one of the leading global causes of human mortality. New approaches are required for cancer therapy due to the unique properties of cancer cells and the side effects of chemotherapy. Probiotics have gained significant attention in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, including cancer.
