Tissue response in a rat model of denture stomatitis treated with tissue conditioner containing antifungal complexed with β-cyclodextrin.

Tissue conditioners modified with antifungals are a potential alternative to denture stomatitis (DS) treatment. Information on tissue response to this treatment before its clinical application is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the tissue response of a tissue conditioner modified with antifungals in a rat model of DS.

Intra-radicular retention with custom designed CAD-CAM fibRe-reinforced composite post-core: a dental technique.

A technique is outlined for utilising a polymeric composite reinforced with glass fibres in a three-dimensional mesh as a post-core in aesthetic cases. The clinical procedure involves obtaining an impression of the root canal space, scanning the definitive cast, and milling a fibre-reinforced composite post-core. Subsequently, the intra-radicular post-core is cemented using an adhesive resin cement.

Mucoadhesive delivery systems for oral candidiasis treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical and mycological effectiveness of mucoadhesives as vehicles for drugs or natural products in the treatment of oral candidiasis.

Materials And Methods: The search for articles was carried out in the Medline/PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and SciELO databases before August 2023. We selected the studies, extracted the data, evaluated the study quality, graded the evidence, performed the risk of bias, and carried out meta-analysis.

A novel rat model of denture stomatitis and the role of antibiotics in the development of the disease.

This study compared different conditions to establish a rat model of denture stomatitis. Immunocompetent Wistar rats were divided into two groups (n = 35): Tetracycline = administration of 0.83 mg/ml of tetracycline hydrochloride 7 days before induction of denture stomatitis and amoxicillin = administration of 0.

The challenge of dietary management in soft drink consumption and its oral and systemic repercussions.

Soft drinks are drinks high in sugar and acidity, but low in nutritional benefits. Despite its great popularity, its consumption is alerted due to the numerous systemic harm caused. This work aims to provide information and critically review the literature on the risk of soft drink consumption in an integrative view with nutritional, dental, and medical aspects.

A modified Newton classification for denture stomatitis.

The effectiveness of denture stomatitis (DS) treatment should be evaluated by associating clinical and mycological parameters. Although widely used in clinical studies, the Newton classification does not accurately represent the degree of severity of palatal inflammation in terms of extent of the lesions and intensity of the erythema. Therefore, a modified Newton classification has been proposed considering the coverage area of palatal inflammation and the erythema level.

Nanoparticle-modified PMMA to prevent denture stomatitis: a systematic review.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the antifungal effectiveness of polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) modified by nanoparticles (NPs) and to compare it with conventional acrylic resins for denture bases. The present study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Searches were performed using PubMed, SCOPUS, SciELO, EMBASE, and LILACS.

A novel acrylic resin palatal device contaminated with Candida albicans biofilm for denture stomatitis induction in Wistar rats.

Unlabelled: Denture stomatitis is the most frequent oral lesion in removable prosthesis wearers, with high recurrence rates and a complex treatment.

Objective: This study describes a protocol to obtain and to contaminate a palatal device with Candida albicans biofilm that could be used for an animal model of denture stomatitis.

Methodology: Acrylic resin devices (N=41) were obtained from impressions of the palates of Wistar rats with individual trays and polyether.

Impact of rehabilitation with removable complete or partial dentures on masticatory efficiency and quality of life: A cross-sectional mapping study.

Statement Of Problem: Tooth loss directly affects mastication, cognitive function, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Complete dentures (CDs) and removable partial dentures (RPDs) represent a common oral rehabilitation approach. However, studies addressing the impact of removable dentures on replacing missing teeth are lacking.

Occlusal marking film for accurate interference assessments of removable partial denture frameworks: A dental technique.

A technique is described for detecting areas of interference for removable partial denture frameworks. An occlusal marking film is placed between the misfitted abutment teeth and framework region. Gentle pressure is applied to seat the framework, and the exact areas of interference are seen on removal.

Surface morphology and in vitro leachability of soft liners modified by the incorporation of antifungals for denture stomatitis treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the surface morphology and in vitro leachability of temporary soft linings modified by the incorporation of antifungals in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for Candida albicans biofilm.

Methodology: Specimens of soft lining materials Softone and Trusoft were made without (control) or with the addition of nystatin (Ny), miconazole (Mc), ketoconazole (Ke), chlorhexidine diacetate (Chx), or itraconazole (It) at their MIC for C. albicans biofilm.

Nonmetal clasp dentures: What is the evidence about their use?

The aim was to discuss the indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages of Nonmetal clasp dentures (NMCDs), as well as the most relevant properties of its constituent materials. A search was conducted using the keywords: "nonmetal clasp dentures," "thermoplastic resin," "flexible resin removable partial denture," "polyamide," and "nylon" in databases PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, SciELO, and textbooks between 1955 and 2020. Theses and texts without reliable sources of publication were excluded.

Candida-Associated Denture Stomatitis and Murine Models: What Is the Importance and Scientific Evidence?

Considering the high prevalence and recurrence of Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS), in vivo studies in animal models are necessary before those in humans to evaluate new therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to review the literature on murine models of CADS induction using acrylic intraoral devices simulating dentures. Rats are recommended as experimental animals in these models as well as the adoption of a pasty diet.

Determining acceptable limits for water sorption and solubility of interim denture resilient liners.

Statement Of Problem: Specifications for determining acceptable limits of water sorption (WS) and solubility for interim denture resilient liners are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the WS and solubility of interim resilient materials throughout their lifespans.

Material And Methods: Specimens (n=10) of 7 tissue conditioners, Coe-Comfort (CC), Softone (ST), Rite-Line (RL), Dura Conditioner (DC), Hydrocast (HC), Dentusoft (DS), and Visco-gel (VG) and 2 interim resilient liners, Trusoft (TS) and Coe-Soft (CS), were submitted to desorption until weight stabilization.

Porosity, water sorption and solubility of denture base acrylic resins polymerized conventionally or in microwave.

The proper selection of polymerization cycle is important to prevent overheating of the monomer that could cause degradation, porosity and, consequently, deleterious effects on the denture base properties. Objective This study evaluated the porosity, water sorption and solubility of acrylic resins (Vipi Cril-VC and Vipi Wave-VW) after conventional or microwave polymerization cycles. Material and Methods Specimens (n = 10) were made and cured: 1-WB = 65°C during 90 min + boiling during 90 min (VC cycle - control group); 2-M25 = 10 min at 270 W + 5 min at 0 W + 10 min at 360 W (VW cycle); 3-M3 = 3 min at 550 W; and 4-M5 = 5 min at 650 W.
