[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.

Anabolic steroids affect human periodontal health and microbiota.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate periodontal microbiological differences between systemically healthy nonsmoker males taking anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) and non-AAS users and to find associations between disease severity and AAS use.

Methods: Ninety-two men practicing bodybuilding were included in the study. They were divided into AAS users and a matched control nonuser group and subgrouped based on their most severe periodontal condition.

[Fungal invasion of connective tissue in patients with gingival-periodontal disease].

Background: In the last few years unusual microorganisms have been isolated from subgingival biofilm, as possible initiators or contributors to periodontal disease, especially in patients who show no improvement during treatment.

Aims: To study the Candida invasion of the connective tissue in relation to subgingival biofilm presence.

Methods: A total of 55 immunocompetent patients of both sexes, between 21 and 55 years of age, non-smokers, without previous antimicrobial treatment, suffering periodontal diseases, were studied.

The impact of oral contraceptives on women's periodontal health and the subgingival occurrence of aggressive periodontopathogens and Candida species.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of oral contraceptive (OC) use on the subgingival occurrence of specific periodontopathogens and the host's periodontal status.

Methods: Ninety-two females aged 19 to 40 years were included in the study. They were divided into two groups, OC users and non-users, and subgrouped according to the most severe periodontal condition and duration of OC usage.
