Cultivation and molecular characterization of viable Helicobacter pylori from the root canal of 170 deciduous teeth of children.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is a persistent pathogen in the human stomach. However, the proposed transmission route via the oral cavity is not understood and under intense debate. While dozens of studies have shown by PCR that H.

Next step in the development of mesoprogestins: the preclinical profile of EC313.

Introduction: The pharmacological target for progesterone, different progestins, and Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulators (SPRMs) is the nuclear progesterone receptor (PR). EC313 is a new member of a subgroup of SPRMs, mesoprogestins, which combine especially PR- agonistic and PR-antagonistic activities in one molecule.

Methods: The suitable -model for the differentiation of SPRMs from the subgroup of mesoprogestins is the estrogen-primed juvenile rabbit endometrium assay (McPhail Assay).

The Influence of Coordinative Skills on the Oral Health of Children and Adolescents in Permanent Dentition.

Removing dental plaque by using a toothbrush is the most important measure for oral hygiene. The aim of the present study was to estimate the impact of the coordination skills of children and adolescents on their oral health (plaque level, DMF/T: decayed, missing, filled teeth). Within a prospective cohort study, 996 children (10 to 18 years) were examined.

[Indirect resin composites - a new material option when restoring malformed teeth].

Objectives: An abnormal development of teeth can result in malformed teeth. Indirect resin composites that can be fabricated with the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/ CAM) technique are available for the fabrication of permanent restorations. This case report presents the esthetical and functional rehabilitation of a 10-year-old female patient with oligodontia and conical canines.

Relationship between deciduous molar hypomineralisation and parameters of bone metabolism in preschool children.

Background: The aetiology of deciduous molar hypomineralisation (DMH) is still largely unknown.

Aim: The aim of the study was to elucidate the occurrence of DMH as a function of the parameters of bone metabolism, as it is suspected that abnormalities in these parameters may affect the mineralisation of teeth.

Design: In a prospective cohort study, 958 children aged 1-6 years were examined.
