Effect of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles coating of titanium surface on biofilm adhesion: An in vitro study.

Aim: To evaluate the adhesion of mono and duospecies biofilm on a commercially available dental implant surface coated with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nanoHA).

Material And Methods: Titanium discs were divided into two groups: double acid-etched (AE) and AE coated with nanoHA (NanoHA). Surface characteristics evaluated were morphology, topography, and wettability.

Epithelial responses and Candida albicans pathogenicity are enhanced in the presence of oral streptococci.

Experimental models that consider host-pathogen interactions are relevant for improving knowledge about oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to assess the epithelial immune responses, Candida penetration of cell monolayers, and virulence during mixed species culture infections. Single species cultures of Candida albicans and mixed cultures (C.

Does Streptococcus oralis supernatant influence on the proliferation and virulence of Candida albicans?

Objective: To evaluate the influence of Streptococcus oralis supernatant on the proliferation and virulence of Candida albicans.

Design: S. oralis supernatant was obtained by filtration of overnight cultures.

Adhesins Als1 and Hwp1 Modulate Interactions with .

and are known to synergistically interact with each other in the oral cavity. For example, glucosyltransferase B (GtfB), secreted by , can bind to the cell surface, promoting dual-species biofilm formation. However, the fungal factors mediating interactions with are unknown.

Interkingdom interaction between C. albicans and S. salivarius on titanium surfaces.

Background: In oral candidiasis models, Candida albicans and Streptococcus salivarius sp. biofilms have an antagonistic relationship. Due to this, S.

The Effect of Reciprocating and Rotary Systems on Postoperative Endodontic Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the instrumentation kinematics on endodontic postoperative pain.

Methods And Materials: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Cochrane Library and the System for Information on Gray Literature in Europe were searched electronically without time or language limitations up to June 2020. Subsequently, data extraction, quality assessment and meta-analysis were conducted.

Oral candidiasis and denture stomatitis in diabetic patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Here, the prevalence of oral candidiasis and denture stomatitis among diabetic patients compared to healthy ones was summarized through a systematic review with meta-analysis. Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Cochrane Library, Embase, and the grey literature were searched without restriction, until May 2020. Eligibility criteria were established, data were extracted, and quality assessment was conducted by two trained examiners.

"Inhibitory effect of Brazilian red propolis on Candida biofilms developed on titanium surfaces".

Background: Peri-implant inflammation resulting from the presence of Candida biofilms may compromise the longevity of implant-supported dentures. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of Brazilian red propolis on mono-species biofilms of C. albicans (ATCC 90028) and co-culture biofilms of C.
