mechanism of action in alveolar bone destruction: Scoping review.

is implicated in periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone due to host-microbe dysbiosis. This study focuses on understanding how contributes to bone destruction in periodontitis. The literature search was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines by entering preselected keyword combinations of inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Perceived Enablers of and Barriers to Serious Game as Oral Histology Learning Strategy for Undergraduate Dental Students.

Previously, we reported the serious game as an innovative learning approach for an oral histology course. This study aimed to examine the impact of on summative assessment and the enablers and barriers factors affecting as an interactive learning strategy in an oral histology course. A crossover randomized controlled trial was performed.

The antimicrobial effect of as probiotic on oral bacteria: A scoping review.

Dysbiosis among oral microbial community in the oral cavity can lead to several oral diseases. Probiotic therapy is known to correct these imbalances. is one of the most studied strains of probiotics and can control oral microbiota through reuterin, a wide-spectrum antimicrobial agent.

Serious game as oral histology learning strategy for undergraduate dental students; crossover randomized controlled trial.

Background: Oral histology is perceived by dental students as a challenging subject and often struggle to recognize the long-term relevance of understanding the cells and tissues at the microscopic level. Serious games have been reported to have a positive effect on student cognitive skills and learning motivation. However, there is still a limited amount of research supporting the effectiveness of serious games as a learning method in dentistry.

Hydrogel-Based Biomaterial as a Scaffold for Gingival Regeneration: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies.

Background: Hydrogel is considered a promising scaffold biomaterial for gingival regeneration. In vitro experiments were carried out to test new potential biomaterials for future clinical practice. The systematic review of such in vitro studies could synthesize evidence of the characteristics of the developing biomaterials.

Potential of L. Calyx (Rosella) extract as antibacterial agent in dental disease: Phytochemical and chemical components profiling.

Chemical characteristics of natural products are influenced by different external factors, varying according to the geographic origin. The ethanol extract of L calyx Indonesia has been studied and provide potential effect for dental field uses. Ethanol extract showed antibacterial to as an inducer gingivitis, had an effect on the treatment of oral mucosa ulceration, and could inhibit the development of alveolar bone destruction.

Identification of active compounds in ethyl acetate, chloroform, and N-hexane extracts from peels of from Maribaya, West Java, Indonesia.

Lime peel contains essential oils are used as anti-oxidants or anti-cancer compounds. As a traditional medicine, lime has been widely used as a substitute for antibiotics. This study aimed to identify active compounds in peel extracts from that grows in Indonesia.

Chitosan as a potential osteogenic factor compared with dexamethasone in cultured macaque dental pulp stromal cells.

Chitosan, a natural biopolymer derived from chitin, is considered a promising scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. The ability of chitosan to promote the osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stromal/stem cells (DPSCs) is unknown. We have evaluated the potential of chitosan to induce the osteogenic differentiation of macaque DPSCs in comparison with that of dexamethasone.

Chitosan exerts anticancer activity through induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in oral cancer cells.

Chitosan, a multipurpose biomaterial, has been shown to exert effects against several types of cancer including oral cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the anticancer activities of chitosan on oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to compare the effects of low-molecular-weight chitosan (LMWC) and cisplatin on oral SCC Ca9-22 and non-cancer keratinocyte HaCaT cell lines.
