Antimicrobial Effect Against Oral Microbiota After Continuous Use Of Natural Oral Spray Products, Chanon Suwanprapis Jan 2019

Antimicrobial Effect Against Oral Microbiota After Continuous Use Of Natural Oral Spray Products, Chanon Suwanprapis

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

So far as we know there were several natural extracts possessed antimicrobial activity against oral microbiota. These natural extracts can be used as an alternative to replace chlorhexidine mouthwash which retains unfavorable flavor and also has some adverse effects. However, the antimicrobial activity of the natural extracts in commercial products have never been demonstrated especially in vivo studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial activity of natural oral spray against oral bacteria compared with chlorhexidine mouthwash, and patient satisfaction. Participants had used two types of commercial natural oral spray products, including essential oil and essential …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Objective: To compare the microshear bond strength and microleakage of glass ionomer cements when bonded to aged and young dentin. Background: Root caries commonly occurs in elderly patients. Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is frequently used to restore root caries. Many studies of GIC have been conducted using young dentin, however few studies have assessed adhesion and microleakage of GICs to aged dentin. Materials and methods: Seventy-eight non-carious human molars (patient age 16-30 = 39; patient age ≥ 65 = 39) were tested with three commercial GICs (Fuji II LC, Equia Forte Fil, and Fuji BULK). For microshear bond strength (µSBS), …

A Comparison Of Microrna Profiles Between Rat Incisors And Molars, Sirawit Nipakasem Jan 2019

A Comparison Of Microrna Profiles Between Rat Incisors And Molars, Sirawit Nipakasem

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Unlike the molar, rodent incisor is a distinct organ that have continuously growth at distal end of tooth throughout its lifetime to compensate for abrasion. The key of continuous growth is the result of delayed root formation and prolonged crown formation that possibly made by stem cell niche, so-called cervical loop, which involve various genes and signaling pathways. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding single stranded RNAs that involved in biological mechanisms of dental development. To study the role of miRNA, we extracted total RNA from the dental pulp tissue collected from the apical part, coronal part of incisors and molars, …

Oral Health-Related Quality Of Life And Related Factors In The Elderly Patients Who Received Dental Treatment, Teerawut Tatiyapongpaiboon

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis is a cross-sectional study which explores underlying determinants of elderly patients. The study examines related factor that impaired Oral Health-related Quality of life (OHRQoL) and analyzes the characteristics of elderly patients at our clinic. 46 participants are patients who completed dental treatment more than 6 months during May 2016 to December 2018. Underlying determinants information were recorded by interview, patient chart review and oral examination. There were collected self-evaluation and Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP). Descriptive statistics was used to describe the characteristics of patients. Spearman correlation and Kruskal-Wallis test at P-value < 0.05 were performed. From the results, the participant’s OIDP scores showed the majority in no severity and no more than 2 impacts activities. The major activities that were impacted were eating activity and speaking activity due to ill-fitting dentures but less impacts in psychological and social performance. There was poor denture satisfaction that impaired participant’s OHRQoL. However, there were differences between dentist and patient evaluation. The authors suggest that the dental treatment should focus on the recall system, the frequency of dental recall visits, procedures to successful oral hygiene instruction and skills to handle the denture problems.

Comparison Between Hybrid Cbct And Cbct In Detection Of Vertical Root Fracture, Nantida Rueangweerayut

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) has been wildly used in many fields of dentistry, especially to investigate the vertical root fracture (VRF). CBCT systems were consisted of various field of view (FOV). As for high cost and large machine size, newly designed of CBCT systems started to develop by combining digital panoramic radiographs with a relatively small-to-medium FOV CBCT system. These new model of CBCT systems was called hybrid CBCT. The aims of this study is to compare the difference in detection of VRF by a hybrid CBCT and a CBCT. For this, forty permanent mandibular premolar teeth were endodontically …

Protein Expression And Inflammatory Response After Delivery Of Mrna Encoding Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-Bb In Sucrose Citrate Buffer Into Rat Gingiva, Phan Bhongsatiern Jan 2019

Protein Expression And Inflammatory Response After Delivery Of Mrna Encoding Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-Bb In Sucrose Citrate Buffer Into Rat Gingiva, Phan Bhongsatiern

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality in medical fields, including regenerative medicine. The concept of mRNA-based therapy is to use synthesized mRNA encoding therapeutic protein delivered to target tissue. Thus, mRNA encoding growth factor could be a promising alternative to recombinant protein. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of most extensively studied growth factors for periodontal regeneration. To date, mRNA therapy has never been explored in the field of periodontal regeneration. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding PDGF-BB on the level of PDGF-BB protein and inflammatory response at …

Utilization Of Modified Mrna Encoding Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 For Periodontal Regeneration: An In Vitro Study, Promphakkon Kulthanaamondhita

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Current modalities for periodontal regeneration provide modest success, however complete periodontal regeneration is still not achievable. Recently in vitro synthesized nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a novel platform in regenerative medicine. The aims of this study are to investigate the ability of human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), clinically relevant target cells, to produce bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a significant protein for bone formation after transfected with modified mRNA that encode this protein. We investigated the ability of translated protein for enhancing PDLC proliferation and promotes endothelial cell tube formation, marker of angiogenesis. Isolated PDLCs from healthy periodontal tissue …

The Use Of Modified Mrna Encoding Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-Bb As An Innovation In Periodontal Regeneration, Theeraphat Surisaeng

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Since the mRNA platform has been recently introduced to several fields in medicine and the achievement of periodontal regeneration is currently unpredictable, therefore, the use of mRNA technology is a promising approach to pursue the complete periodontal regeneration. The aims of this study are to learn if mRNA encoding platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) induces PDGF production in human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and to investigate the effect of secreted PDGF on PDLC proliferation and promoting endothelial cell tube formation. PDLCs were obtained from extracted teeth of healthy periodontal patients. The N1-methylpseudouridine modified mRNA encoding PDGF-BB were transfected into PDLCs. The …
