Effect of estrogen depression on alveolar bone microarchitecture and periodontal ligament cells during orthodontic movement.
Eur J Oral Sci
October 2024
Graduate Program in Odontology, University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation - FHO, Araras, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how reduced estrogen levels affect bone and ligament changes during orthodontic tooth movement in female rats.
- Ovariectomized rats showed faster tooth movement and significant alterations in alveolar bone microarchitecture, including lower bone volume and higher porosity compared to non-ovariectomized rats.
- Histological analysis revealed more collagen fibers and higher apoptotic cell counts in the periodontal ligament of ovariectomized rats, indicating more extensive tissue alterations during orthodontic treatment.
Lip and tongue pressure and the functionality of oro-facial structures in healthy individuals.

Department of Speech and Language Pathology, Faculdade de Ceilândia, University of Brasilia - UnB, Brasilia, Brazil.
Background: With the ageing process changes in the musculature of oro-facial structures take place, consequently there is a reduction in the strength and mobility of the lips, tongue and cheeks.
Objective: The aim of this study was to correlate oro-facial structures and chewing and swallowing functions among a group of senior citizens and young adults and check the influence of lip and tongue pressure of these functions.
Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional and analytical study.
Influence of botulinum toxin A in pain perception and condyle-fossa relationship after the management of temporomandibular dysfunction: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Cardiovascular diseases affect a large part of the population during adulthood. Several epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated an association between maternal protein restriction and a marked risk of developing heart disease during early intrauterine and postnatal life. Maternal nutritional conditions act by modulating the microenvironment, thus favoring adaptive processes of the fetal organism for development to occur.

November 2021
University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation (FHO), Araras, Avenida Dr. Maximiliano Baruto, 500 - Jd. Universitário, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets bonded to bovine enamel using various acid conditioning protocols, with the most common being 37-40% phosphoric acid.
- Four groups were set up: a control group without conditioning and three groups with different acid types and concentrations, where samples were further subdivided based on conditioning time.
- Results showed similar SBS across the acid groups, with adhesive remnants indicating that these acids help protect enamel during the bonding process, although longer conditioning times could negatively affect enamel structure.
Dentoskeletal changes and their correlations after micro-implant-assisted palatal expansion (MARPE) in adults with advanced midpalatal suture ossification.

Department of Orthodontics, University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation-FHO, Avenida Dr Maximiliano Baruto, 500, Araras, SP, Zip Code 13607-339, Brazil.
Objectives: To evaluate and correlate the dentoskeletal changes of adult patients after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) in the two final stages of midpalatal suture ossification.
Materials And Methods: This interventional pre-post clinical study consisted of 20 adults (24.9±1.
Temporomandibular disorder symptoms, sleep quality, and burnout syndrome in teachers.
Cranio
May 2024
Department of Orthodontics, University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation- FHO, Araras, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the links between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, sleep quality, and burnout syndrome among teachers.
- A sample of 330 teachers was analyzed using various assessment tools, revealing that poor sleep quality, high burnout indicators, and being female significantly increased the likelihood of TMD symptoms.
- The findings concluded that teachers experiencing burnout and sleep issues were more prone to display TMD symptoms, highlighting the need for better support for their well-being.
Regulation of connexins genes expression contributes to reestablishes tissue homeostasis in a renovascular hypertension model.

Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation/FHO, Araras, SP, Brazil.
Connexins (Cx) are essential for cardiovascular regulation and maintenance of cardio-renal response involving the natriuretic peptide family. Changes in the expression of connexins promote intercellular communication dysfunction and may induce hypertension, atherosclerosis, and several other vascular diseases. This study analyzed the expression of the genes involved in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the relation of the connexins gene expression with the renovascular hypertension 2K1C in different tissues.

Orthod Craniofac Res
February 2020
Graduate Program of Biomedical Sciences, University Center of the Hermínio Ometto Foundation-FHO, Araras, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed how inflammation in gum and bone tissue is affected during orthodontic tooth movement in rats with diabetes and periodontitis.
- It involved 40 male Wistar rats, divided into four groups to assess the impact of diabetes, periodontitis, and their combination on tooth movement over a 10-day period.
- Results showed that diabetic and periodontitis conditions increased inflammatory markers, which negatively affected tissue healing and blood vessel formation during orthodontic treatment, unlike healthy rats where these factors were more favorable.
