Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between the cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 in saliva, obesity, and periodontal disease by comparing 20 obese individuals with gingivitis to 20 non-obese controls.
- Results showed that saliva IL-6 levels were significantly higher in obese subjects, along with negative correlations between IL-10 levels and gingival index (GI), especially in obese individuals.
- The findings suggest that obesity impacts periodontal health by changing IL-6 and IL-10 levels, highlighting a link between higher IL-6 in saliva and obesity, as well as the detrimental effects of lower IL-10 on gum health.
Objectives: Nocturnal bruxism can be managed by botulinum toxin (Botox®) in patients who have not responded to conservative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) in the treatment of nocturnal bruxism.
Material And Methods: The retrospective study comprised 25 female patients, aged 23-55 years (mean 35.
Objective: Laser irradiation is an alternative surface treatment method for roughening zirconia surfaces. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YbPL) on zirconia.
Background: Zirconia surfaces are resistant to many surface treatment methods, but surface roughness is crucial for adhesion of veneering materials and cements to zirconia.
