[Research on microflora and the qualitative composition of periodontal pathogens by PCR method in patients with root caries and external cervical resorption].

Objective: The aim of the study was to study the microflora of periodontal pockets and gingival fluid; determine the qualitative composition of periodontal pathogens by PCR; to determine the main associations of microorganisms, to determine the periodontal index in patients with cement caries, external pathological resorption and in patients from the comparison group.

Material And Methods: The examination included 80 patients, including 28 patients with a diagnosis of cement caries, 25 patients with a diagnosis of external cervical root resorption, 27 patients in the comparison group without tooth root damage. Based on the results of microbiological studies in various clinical conditions of the oral cavity, in particular, in different forms of lesions of the periodontium and hard tissues of teeth, the predominant microbial representatives and their combinations were identified.

[The dental status of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease depending on the intake of proton pump inhibitors].

Unlabelled: The number of men and women with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERB) is increasing each year; besides, the disease seeks rejuvenation. Because the oral cavity is the initial digestive system, gastrointestinal tract diseases (GT) and associated changes in the oral cavity are closely related.

The Aim Of The Study: Was to assess the dental status of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease depending on the use of proton pump inhibitors based on the comprehensive clinical and laboratory study.

Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Remineralizing Effect of Prophylactic Toothpaste Promoting Brushite Formation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Currently various studies are conducted to improve the effect of existing and developing new remineralizing agents. One of the trends in remineralizing therapy is the development of toothpaste allowing brushite crystals formation in the demineralized lesions of hard tooth tissues.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of toothpaste, forming a brushite, on the functional acid resistance of enamel and the speed of its remineralization.

[Comparative assessment of the effectiveness of toothpastes to reduce hyperesthesia in inflammatory periodontal diseases].

The purpose of the study is a comparative assessment of hygiene products recommended for increased sensitivity of teeth and having an anti-inflammatory effect on periodontal tissue. The study involved 40 people aged 55-65 years with hyperesthesia and chronic mild and moderate periodontitis, which were divided into 2 groups (20 people each) depending on the toothpastes used based on HAP. Over time, indicators of hygiene, sensitivity, bleeding, PMA indices and the periodontal probing depth are evaluated.

Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation of the Efficiency of the Application of Foams with False Xerostomia.

Aims: Xerostomia syndrome is a significant medical and social problem. It is manifested by objective and subjective symptoms of a "dry mouth" and a decrease in sialometry. The aim of the study was to determine the dental status of students of different nationalities, to identify xerostomia induced on a background of stress, and to assess the effectiveness of the use of moisturizing foams in alleviating xerostomia.

[Special aspects of individual oral hygiene in patients with I class gingival recession].

Aim: To assess the efficacy of additional oral hygiene products in patients with gingival recession.

Material And Methods: 30 patients aged from 18 to 35 years with gingival recession participated in the study. The patients were distributed into 2 groups 15 patients in each depending on the use of brushes.

[Application of oral Foams Splat Oral Care Foam 2 in 1 in patients with false xerostomia].

The purpose of our study was to identify false xerostomies in students of different nationalities studying at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Sechenov University and to assess the effectiveness of Splat Oral Care Foam 2 in 1 against xerostomia stress-induced. Based on the results of Fox test 40 people were selected who used Splat Oral Care Foam 2 in 1 for three weeks. The participants were divided in 4 groups of 10 depending on the nationality.

[Rationale for the application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering for identification of main pathogens of purulent-inflammatory diseases in maxillofacial area].

The objective of the research was to elaborate experimental-theoretical and clinic-bacteriological rationale for the application of laser diagnostic for identification of main pathogens of purulent-inflammatory processes in maxillofacial area. For germs identification by giant Raman scattering effect SERS-substrate with nano silver metallic balls, reference strains (Ps. aeruginosa 27853 and S.

[Gender-related preferences in the choice of methods for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation in dentistry].

The aim of the study was to assess gender-related preferences in the choice of oral rehabilitation methods. The study involved 225 patients aged 16-75. The analysis included patients survey and the assessment of actual procedures received during one year follow-up.

[Gender related salivation features].

The aim of the study was to assess gender related salivation features. One hundred and seventy-five patients were enrolled in the study (115 females and 60 males aged from 18 to 75 years). The study results showed xerostomia to be more common in females and it's subjective symptoms are more prominent partly because of gender-related psychological reasons.

[Assessment of antibacterial efficacy of ozone therapy in treatment of caries at the white spot stage].

Unlabelled: Effect on cariogenic flora is the key toremineralizing therapy efficacy in treatment of initial caries (at the white spot stage). Ozone in dentistry is used as a highly effective antibacterial agent. Treatment of white spot lesions with the ozone-air mixture leads to significant increase of efficacy in non-invasive treatment of initial caries.

[Specific age-related and gender related features in oral status].

The aim of the study was to assess age and gender related features of oral status and oral hygiene. The study included 234 patients (76 males and 158 females) aged 25 to 74 years. It is proved that females have more dental appointments than males mostly because of specific oral conditions associated with pregnancy and menopause as well as better compliance with prevention programs.

Inconsistent echocardiographic grading of aortic stenosis: is the left ventricular outflow tract important?

Objective: Discrepancy in the echocardiographic severity grading of aortic stenosis (AS) based on current guidelines has been reported. We sought to investigate the left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTd) as a source of inconsistencies, and to explore hypothetical alternatives for discrepancy improvement.

Design: Retrospective echocardiographic cross-sectional analysis.

Incidence of aortic complications in patients with bicuspid aortic valves.

Context: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital heart defect, has been thought to cause frequent and severe aortic complications; however, long-term, population-based data are lacking.

Objective: To determine the incidence of aortic complications in patients with BAV in a community cohort and in the general population.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this retrospective cohort study, we conducted comprehensive assessment of aortic complications of patients with BAV living in a population-based setting in Olmsted County, Minnesota.

Progress in the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation.

Organic mitral regurgitation (MR) is prevalent in the general population. Disease progression, involving potentially irreversible left ventricular dysfunction, implies a poor prognosis for patients who do not receive appropriate treatment. Immediate rescue surgery is indicated in those with severe MR in whom subclinical left ventricular dysfunction is suggested by echocardiographic measurements or the presence of symptoms, however minor.

Frontonasal dysplasia in 3H1 Br/Br mice.

The adult Brachyrrhine (3H1 Br/+) mouse displays severe midfacial retrognathia, with a "pugnose" external appearance, but information concerning craniofacial morphology of the homozygote (3H1 Br/Br) mutant is lacking. This study characterized craniofacial phenotype and genotypic features of the homozygous condition. Segregation analysis was performed by phenotypic scoring of offspring from 3H1 Br/+ reciprocal matings.
