Evaluation of Antimicrobial Properties, Cell Viability, and Metalloproteinase Activity of Bioceramic Endodontic Materials Used in Vital Pulp Therapy.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties, cell viability, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition capacity of several endodontic materials aimed at vital pulp therapy: Pro Root MTA, EndoSequence, Biodentine, MTA Angelus, TheraCal LC, and BioC Repair. The materials were prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Antimicrobial tests were conducted using a microcosm biofilm model, cell viability was assessed using murine fibroblasts (L929), and MMP activity was analyzed through electrophoresis.

The effect of prosthetic rehabilitation with or without dietary advice on nutritional status in elderly patients: a systematic review.

Background: Elderly people frequently report tooth loss, affecting their nutritional status. There is a gap in the scientific evidence about the influence of prosthodontic rehabilitation on nutritional status.

Objective: To investigate the influence of prosthodontic rehabilitation combinates or not with dietary advice on nutritional status in elderly patients.

Sleep-related factors and orofacial pain symptoms associated with rhythmic masticatory muscle activity frequency scored by polysomnography recordings: A case-control study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the frequency of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity per hour (RMMA/h) scored by polysomnography (PSG) recordings on sleep-related factors and orofacial pain symptoms.

Methods: According to RMMA/h frequency, participants were assigned either to the control group (i.e.

Invasive surgical procedures for the management of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint: a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the effects on pain and jaw mobility.

Objectives: This systematic review compared minimally and invasive surgical procedures to manage arthrogenous temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Materials And Methods: The review included clinical trials assessing surgical procedures of arthrogenous temporomandibular disorder (TMD) management by carrying out comparisons within the same surgical procedure (pre- and post-treatment) as well as between different surgical procedures. Meta-analyses were conducted only for similar comparison reporting the same outcome measures, visual analog scale (VAS) values to evaluate pain and maximum incisal opening (MIO) values.

A systematic review and meta-analysis on using preheated resin composites as luting agents for indirect restorations.

Objectives: This systematic review investigated the hypothesis that preheated resin composites (RCs) used as luting agents improve the mechanical properties, physicochemical performance, and color of indirect ceramic restorations.

Materials And Methods: Literature search was performed in three databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) and in the grey literature (OpenGrey, ProQuest, and Catalog of Theses & Dissertations from CAPES). Eligibility criteria included only studies comparing at least one preheated RC used as a luting agent with resin cements.

Physicomechanical Properties of Tertiary Monoblock in Endodontics: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the physicomechanical properties of tertiary monoblock obturation with different obturation techniques.

Methods And Materials: PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, LILACS, IBECS, and BBO were searched time. PICO question was: "In extracted human teeth (Population), does tertiary monoblock obturation (Intervention) have superior physicomechanical properties (Outcome) compared to conventional obturation systems (Comparison)?".

Antimicrobial Therapeutics in Regenerative Endodontics: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: This review aimed to provide a critical appraisal of alternative antimicrobial strategies in lieu of traditional triple antibiotic paste (TAP).

Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The literature search was performed in 8 databases (PubMed/Medline, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, BVS, SciELO, and the Cochrane Library), selecting clinical, in vitro, in vivo, and in situ studies that evaluated antimicrobial alternatives to TAP in regenerative endodontics.

Effect of a Homemade Salivary Substitute Prepared Using Chamomile (.) Flower and Flax () Seed to Relieve Primary Burning Mouth Syndrome: A Preliminary Report.

To evaluate (1) the effect of a salivary substitute prepared using chamomile (.) flower and flax () seed to relieve Primary burning mouth syndrome (BMS) symptoms, (2) their effect on the inhibition of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 metalloproteinases, and (3) their potential cellular cytotoxic effect. 40 women aging >40 years with diagnosis of primary BMS.

Bonding Strength of Universal Adhesives to Indirect Substrates: A Meta-Analysis of in Vitro Studies.

Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro bond strength of universal adhesive systems to indirect substrates.

Material And Methods: Two reviewers performed a literature search up to March 2018 in seven databases: PubMed, Web of Science, SciELO, Scopus, LILACS, IBECS, and BBO. The review included studies that compared the bond strength of universal adhesives and well-established material-specific primers to indirect substrates: lithium disilicate ceramic, yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide ceramic, leucite-reinforced ceramic, feldspathic porcelain, polymer infiltrated ceramic material, resin composite or metal alloys.

Efficacy of natural, peroxide-free tooth-bleaching agents: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and technological prospecting.

The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy of natural bleaching agents and the current technological development in this research field. Two reviewers performed a literature search up to July 2019 in 15 databases. Five laboratory studies and 25 patents were included.
