Investigating salivary matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity in fixed orthodontic-induced gingival enlargement.

Background: Gingival enlargement (GE) is a common clinical observation among orthodontic patients, yet its underlying causes remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the potential involvement of salivary matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity in orthodontic-induced GE.

Materials And Methods: In this case-control study, we enrolled 50 subjects, including 25 individuals with GE and 25 without.

The Healthy Eating Index and oral health among adults: a cross-sectional study from an Iranian RaNCD cohort data.

This study was conducted to investigate the association between decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and nutritional status measured by Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015), in Iranian adults. In this cross-sectional study, data from the Ravansar non-communicable diseases cohort study were analyzed. DMFT index was employed as a measurement of oral health.

The effect of 3 % hydrogen peroxide irrigation on postoperative complications of rhinoplasty: A double-blinded, placebo-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution on early complications of rhinoplasty. Volunteers who had physical status of ASA I were included in the study after informed written consent. This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on three salivary adipokines in diabetic patients with periodontitis.

This study investigated the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on clinical indices and salivary levels of visfatin, chemerin, and progranulin in diabetic patients with periodontitis. This interventional clinical trial was performed on 20 patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis (periodontitis stages II or III according to the new classification of periodontal diseases). Clinical indices, including gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and plaque index (PI), were recorded and visfatin, chemerin, and progranulin adipokines levels were also measured in unstimulated saliva by ELISA technique at baseline and twelve weeks after non-surgical periodontal treatment.

Introduction: Halitosis as a common dental problem results in psychological social problems and relates to many factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of halitosis and its associated factors among students aged from 14 to 18 years in Kermanshah in 2015.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in high school students of Kermanshah city in 2015.

Effect of Implant-Abutment Connection Type on Stress Distribution in Peri-Implant Bone and Abutment Micromovement: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis.

This study assessed the effect of implant-abutment connection type on stress distribution in peri-implant bone and abutment micromovement using finite-element analysis (FEA). Dimensions of three implant-abutment designs were measured by a three-dimensional scanner and transferred to SOLIDWORKS. An elemental model was designed using ABAQUS.
