Hyaluronic acid and its use in dentistry.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of hyaluronic acid in bio-revitalization (HABR) by testing several extracellular matrix biological parameters in cultured dermal fibroblasts. To this aim, fibroblastic expressed genes after exposition to three HABR medical devices were evaluated. Cells were seeded on a layer of three different medical devices containing 6.

Hormones and dentistry: a two-way relationship.

Stem cells of dental pulp (SCDPs) are multipotent stem cells with the potential to differentiate into various cell types. For this reason, they have been proposed as an alternative source for mesenchymal stem cells. Somatostatin (ST) is a peptide hormone with an inhibitory effect on several endogenous hormones.

Bacteria and oral cavity: a new story to tell.

Periodontal diseases include a mild and reversible form named gingivitis (GI), and periodontitis (PD) that is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. GI, that affects gums and coronal junctional epithelium, as well as periodontitis, that is characterized by loss of connective tissue attachment, are caused by a persistent inflammatory response promoted by alteration of periodontal biofilm. The aim of the study was to test whether the prevalence of each species was associated with a particular clinical condition.

Efficacy ozone therapy in reducing oral infection of periodontal disease: a randomized clinical trial.

Periodontal diseases are among the most common infectious diseases in the world, caused by pathogenic bacteria that trigger innate, inflammatory, and adaptive immune responses, leading to the destruction of supporting periodontal tissues and, if untreated, tooth loss. The objective of this study was to explore the efficacy of medical device that produced ozonized water (Medica S.r.

Preventive contamination with of the implant-abutment connection: an study.

The aim of this study is to preventively contaminate the abutment-fixture connection (AFC) with , to evaluate the presence of micro leaks in different types of implant-abutment connections, by measuring the concentration of , in the sulcular fluid over time. This microorganism produces the Reuterine, an antibiotic which counteracts the development of other microbial species. Fourteen biphasic implants were placed on 10 patients (3 women; 7 men; mean age 55.
