Periodontal Evaluation in Noncarious Cervical Lesions Restored with Resin-modified Glass-Ionomer Cement and Resin Composite: A Randomised Controlled Study.

Purpose: To assess periodontal parameters of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) restored with glass-ionomer cement (RM-GIC) and composite resin at baseline, three and six months.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen patients with bilateral lesions were included in the study. Lesions (1 mm in depth) were randomly restored with each type of restorative material.

Morphological and immunohistochemical analysis of the biocompatibility of resin-modified cements.

The aim of this double-blind randomized study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) by means of morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. RMGICs were selected and divided into four groups: Group CK (Crosslink Orthodontic Band Cement); Group RS (Resilience Light Cure Band Cement) Group RMO (RMO Band Cement), Group TP (Transbond Plus Light Cure Band), and Group C (Control-polyethylene). The materials were implanted in rat subcutaneous tissues, randomly selected for this study.

Association of immunoexpression of the galectins-3 and -7 with histopathological and clinical parameters in oral squamous cell carcinoma in young patients.

An increasing incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in individuals younger than 45 years has been observed in recent years. OSCC in younger patients differs in terms of biological behavior and prognosis with the disease being more aggressive than in older patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the immunohistochemical expression of galectins-3 and -7 in 32 cases of OSCC in young patients and to correlate this expression with clinical and morphological parameters.
