Aim: To identify the antifungal susceptibility profile of Candida spp. isolated from the human oral cavity was assessed with meta-analyses of observational studies that collected samples from the oral cavity of human subjects.
Material And Methods: Isolated Candida albicans tested by E-test®; disk diffusion test; microdilution and macrodilution; Sensititre YeastOne; and/or FungiTest.
Aims: To evaluate the effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) on the progression of apical periodontitis (AP), local inflammation, systemic antioxidant status, and blood lipid profile in rats.
Main Methods: Sixteen male Wistar rats were fed a standard diet (SD) or a HFD. At the sixth experimental week, the pulp chambers of the mandibular first molars were exposed to develop AP.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of dentinal defects and vertical root fractures (VRFs) after endodontic retreatment and mechanical cycling (MC).
Methods And Materials: Two hundred mandibular premolars were selected. Forty teeth were left unprepared (control group).
Introduction: This study evaluated the effects of endodontic treatment and retreatment on the fatigue failure load, numbers of cycles for failure, and survival rates of canine teeth.
Methods: Sixty extracted canine teeth, each with a single root canal, were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 15): untreated, teeth without endodontic intervention; prepared, teeth subjected only to rotary instrumentation; filled, teeth receiving complete endodontic treatment; and retreated, teeth retreated endodontically. After the different endodontic interventions, the specimens were subjected to fatigue testing by the stepwise method: 200 N (× 5000 load pulses), 300 N, 400 N, 500 N, 600 N, 800 N, and 900 N at a maximum of 30,000 load pulses each or the occurrence of fracture.
