Article Synopsis
- * A review of 55 clinical trials showed that 83.3% were conducted after 2015, mainly in the U.S., focusing on various FDA-approved drugs for HNC, including cetuximab and pembrolizumab.
- * There is a need for new drugs specifically for HPV-associated OPC, as the molecular mechanisms and outcomes differ from HPV-negative cases; researchers have identified mutated genes in HPV-positive OPC that could be targeted for future drug development.
Clinical and laboratorial performance of rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth: A systematic review.
J Esthet Restor Dent
September 2024
Objective: This systematic review aimed to analyze the clinical (survival rate, failure risk, or fracture) and laboratory performance (fracture mode or failure) of rehabilitations of endodontically treated teeth, with and without posts.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and OpenGrey databases up to March 2023, according to PRISMA guidelines. In vitro and clinical studies that compared the clinical and laboratory performance of endodontically treated teeth with and without intraradicular posts were included.
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review examined adverse reactions in the oral mucosa and face caused by natural products, following specific guidelines for systematic reviews.
- A total of 706 studies were initially identified, but only 28 studies met the eligibility criteria, highlighting cases primarily between 1976 and 2022 across 19 countries.
- The review found that propolis and garlic were the natural products most commonly associated with adverse effects, leading to issues like eczema, chemical burns, and ulcerations in 50 reported patients, predominantly female.
(1) Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) ranks as the sixth most prevalent cancer in the world. In addition to the traditional risk factors such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, the implication of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is becoming increasingly significant, particularly in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). (2) Methods: This study is based on a review analysis of different articles and repositories investigating the mutation profile of HPV-related OPC and its impact on patient outcomes.

J Prosthet Dent
March 2024
Statement Of Problem: To simplify dental procedures, multicomponent products such as universal adhesives and self-etch ceramic primers have been recommended for glass-ceramic bonding; however, studies have shown a wide range of results.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the in vitro bond strength promoted by hydrofluoric acid+silane-containing universal adhesives and a self-etch ceramic primer to glass-ceramics and compare it with that of conventional treatments.
Material And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, LILACS, and ISI Web of Science databases up to April 2021.
Background: The changes in dental care in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the need for greater financial investment by dentists in biosafety measures and increase in the costs of dental consultations.
Objective: To evaluate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental practices in private clinics in Brazil.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, using an online questionnaire indexed in Google Forms, and distributed among dentists.

Spec Care Dentist
September 2021
Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic and the uncertainty of an effective treatment protocol have resulted in fear and anxiety, which have increased the search for natural products to prevent the disease and to manage the symptoms.
Aims: To discuss the negative effects of garlic used as a preventive measure against the novel coronavirus.
Methods And Results: This study reports a case of oral mucosa burn on the dorsal surface of the tongue in a 72-year-old woman.
Effectiveness of Core-Shell Nanofibers Incorporating Amphotericin B by Solution Blow Spinning Against and Species.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol
October 2020
The aim of this study was to develop polymeric nanofibers for controlled administration of Amphotericin B (AmpB), using the solution centrifugation technique, characterizing its microstructural and physical properties, release rate, and activity against and species. The core-shell nanofibers incorporated with AmpB were synthesized by Solution Blow Spinning (SBS) and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry, X-Ray diffraction, and drug release assay. leishmanicidal and antifungal activity were also evaluated.
