Determination of Genotoxicity Induced by Brackets Alloys in Cultures of Human Gingival Fibroblasts.

Orthodontic brackets release ions that can be reabsorbed in the oral mucosa, potentially causing complications, including cytotoxic effects and mutagenic alterations. The aim was to evaluate the genotoxicity induced by orthodontic appliance alloys in cultures of human gingival fibroblasts by comet assay. Eluates were obtained from the following brackets alloys: EconoLine (SS: stainless steel), MiniMirage (Ni-Ti: nickel-titanium), Nu-Edge (Co-Cr: cobalt-chromium), In-Vu (PC-polycrystals (PC) aluminum oxide), and Monocrystal IZE (monocrystalline (MC) aluminum oxide).

Conservative approach for management of fractured maxillary central incisors in young adults.

Ceramic restorations could be an acceptable treatment choice for fractured central incisors. A successful esthetic and conservative result to restore damaged anterior teeth can be obtained through proper evaluation, diagnostic wax-up, guided minimal preparations, ceramic selection, and bonding protocols. Handcrafted glass-based restorations can mimic contours and shape of natural teeth.

Clinical decision-making regarding endodontic therapy vs extraction and implant-assisted replacement: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Clinical decision-making regarding retention and treatment vs extraction and replacement of teeth can be a significant challenge. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess decision-making in clinical practice related to the retention and endodontic treatment of natural dentition vs extraction and replacement with implant-assisted restorations. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases were comprehensively searched for studies published through May 31, 2019.

Dental pain and associated factors in Mexican adolescents and young adults: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To identify the factors associated with the prevalence of dental pain in Mexican adolescents and young adults.

Material And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which data from 638 Mexican subjects, 16-25 years of age, who were randomly selected from college applicants, were analysed. Questionnaires were administered to collect sociodemographic, economic and behavioural variables.

Clinical and non-clinical variables associated with preventive and curative dental service utilisation: a cross-sectional study among adolescents and young adults in Central Mexico.

Objective: The present study aimed to identify preventive and curative dental health service utilisation (DHSU) in the context of associated clinical and non-clinical factors among adolescents and young adults in Mexico.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Applicants to a public university in Mexico.

Antimicrobial activity of endodontic sealers and medications containing chitosan and silver nanoparticles against .

Background: The main microorganism associated with the failure of endodontic treatments is . Although several endodontic therapeutics have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against , the antimicrobial effectiveness of chitosan (CsNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) included into conventional endodontic sealers for endodontic therapies is still unclear.

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity increment (AAI) of endodontic sealers containing CsNPs and AgNPs as well as some chemical components against by direct contact assays.

Gingival biotypes in Mexican students aged 17-19 years old and their associated anatomic structures, socio-demographic and dietary factors.

This was a cross-sectional study with 550 students aged 17-19 years old. Gingival biotype (GB) was classified as thin, thick, and mixed based on visual inspection. Biotypes were associated with anatomical parameters from the anterior teeth, including probing depth, keratinized gingiva (KG), and gingival attachment (GA).

Desmoplastic Fibroma Recurrence Associated with Tuberous Sclerosis in a Young Patient.

. A nine-year-old patient with a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis (with no pathological record) that showed calcifications at the brain level. Besides, the case showed the Vogt triad (epilepsy, mental retardation, and sebaceous adenoma).

Determination and identification of antibiotic-resistant oral streptococci isolated from active dental infections in adults.

Objective: To determine and identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) of oral streptococci from active dental infections in adults and its association with age and gender.

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 59 subjects from 18 to 62 years old. Ninety-eighth samples obtained from the subjects were cultivated in agar plates containing antibiotics amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (A-CA), clindamycin, and moxifloxacin (concentrations of 16, 32 or 64 µg/ml).

Frequency of dental caries in active and inactive systemic lupus erythematous patients: salivary and bacterial factors.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine dental caries frequency and to analyze salivary and bacterial factors associated with active and inactive systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients. Also, a proposal to identify dental caries by a surface, teeth, and the patient was developed.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional, blinded study that included 60 SLE patients divided into two groups of 30 subjects each, according to the Activity Index for Diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLEDAI).

[Experience, prevalence, severity, treatment needs for dental caries and care index in Mexican adolescents and young adults].

Objective: To determine the experience, prevalence and severity of dental caries as well as to establish the treatment needs and restorative care in adolescents and young adults.

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 638 subjects 16-25 years old candidates to enter to state public university of San Luis Potosí, México. For caries detection was used the DMFT index (sum of decayed teeth + missing teeth + filled teeth in the permanent dentition).

Molecular identification and antibiotic resistant bacteria isolated from primary dentition infections.

Background: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a health problem in many parts of the world. The aim of this study was to identify bacteria from dental infections and determine bacterial resistance to antibiotics used in dental care in the primary dentition.

Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 60 children who presented for dental treatment for active dental infections in the primary dentition.

Three kinds of cysts in the same patient.

An 18-year-old male patient presented with a swelling in the neck with presumptive diagnosis of epidermal cyst (EC) that was enucleated, histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Four years later the patient presented with another swelling with similar clinical features. It was located on the midline of the neck at the hyoid bone.

Dental caries' experience, prevalence and severity in Mexican adolescents and young adults.

Objective: Determining dental caries' experience, prevalence and severity in students applying for degree courses at San Luis Potosi University (UASLP).

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out involving adolescents and young adults (16 to 25 years old) applying for undergraduate courses at UASLP (approximately 10 %, n=1 027). Two standardized examiners undertook dental examinations; DMFT index, prevalence (DMFT>0), severity (DMFT>3 and DMFT>6) and significant caries index (SiC) were calculated.
