Introduction: This study aimed to assess the eruption of impacted teeth in cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) after alveolar bone graft.
Materials And Methods: Research was carried out through a cross-sectional study at the Craniofacial Rehabilitation Center of the University General Hospital of the University of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Variables related to cleft, cleft side, gender, age, laterality of cleft, impacted teeth, and orthodontic traction were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the antibacterial effects of diode laser treatment, with and without sodium hypochlorite, against Enterococcus faecalis in contaminated dentin blocks.
- Eight experimental groups were set up to evaluate different decontamination methods, including various combinations of sodium hypochlorite and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with a laser.
- Results indicated that while the diode laser alone was less effective, photodynamic therapy significantly reduced bacterial contamination, suggesting potential improvements for endodontic treatment strategies.
Introduction: The bidirectional relationship between the periodontal diseases and systemic diseases was attributed to the focal infection concept. The aims of this study were to assess the periodontal and microbiological profile of intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients submitted to orotracheal intubation, and classify them regarding gender, age group, ethnic, hospitalization reason and period, nosocomial infection occurrence, and death.
Materials And Methods: Inpatients were assessed, distributed into toothed and toothless groups.
