[Inhibitory effect of diethylstilbestrol on clinical strains of Candida albicans susceptible and resistant to azoles].

Background: Candida albicans is a microorganism frequently involved in several infections; the patient's oral cavity, caries niches or periodontal disease can sometimes be the reservoir.. The fungal resistance to the available treatments, among other reasons, has led to the search for new antifungal alternatives.

Ameloblastoma: Reconstruction Using Titanium Plates adapted Using Stereolithographic Models.

Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally invasive odontogenic tumor that causes significant morbidity. The aim is to study an ameloblastoma treatment with reconstruction using titanium plates adapted using stereolithographic models. A 48-year-old female patient referred due to asymptomatic osteolytic lesion between teeth 47 and 48 discovered during routine radiographic study.

Effects of tamoxifen on periodontal disease and Candida albicans of patients with breast cancer and other pathologies.

Unlabelled: Candida albicans is involved in periodontal disease, which is influenced by sex hormones.

Aim: To study the effects of the estrogen antagonist tamoxifen (TAM) on periodontal disease of oncological patients; clinical oral strains of C. albicans.

Gingival response in orthodontic patients: Comparative study between self-ligating and conventional brackets.

Orthodontic brackets contribute to the accumulation of bacterial plaque on tooth surfaces because they hinder oral hygiene. In contrast to conventional brackets, self-ligating brackets do not require additional parts to support the arches, thus improving dental hygiene. The aim of this study was to compare the gingival response in orthodontic patients wearing self-ligating or conventional brackets.

Identification and characterization of nine atypical Candida dubliniensis clinical isolates.

Candida dubliniensis is a pathogenic yeast of the genus Candida closely related to Candida albicans. The phenotypic similarity of these two species often leads to misidentification of C. dubliniensis isolates in clinical samples.
