Awareness Of Medical Doctor On Medication-Related Osteonecrosis Of The Jaw In Osteoporosis Patients, Nachapol Supanumpar
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Antiresorptive drugs are widely used to treat osteoporosis. A serious adverse effect of these drugs is medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). By informing and educating patients about MRONJ, providing proper dental referral, and monitoring the oral health of patients who receive antiresorptive agents, physicians can reduce the risk of MRONJ. We investigated the awareness and clinical practices of physicians in Thailand with regard to MRONJ. Physicians who prescribed antiresorptive drugs for osteoporosis filled out an online self-administered questionnaire about demographic characteristics, awareness, and practices related to MRONJ. Most respondents agreed that antiresorptive drugs may cause MRONJ (92.3%), that poor …

Hypoxia induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in periodontal tissues. Superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) is an enzyme protecting cells from ROS. This study investigated SOD3 expression and function during rat orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and in hypoxia-exposed rat PDL cells. OTM of right maxillary first molars were performed in Sprague-Dawley rats for 1 and 14 days (n = 6 per group). SOD3 and HIF-1α expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. SOD3 effects on cell viability and proliferation, ROS production, and mRNA expression of Hif-1α, Rankl, and Opg in PDL cells and osteoclast differentiation were investigated under normoxia and hypoxia. SOD3 expression …
Prediction Of Future Caries In Toddlers Via Salivary Microbiome: A 1-Year Longitudinal Study, Ratcha Raksakmanut
Prediction Of Future Caries In Toddlers Via Salivary Microbiome: A 1-Year Longitudinal Study, Ratcha Raksakmanut
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Dental caries in children is the most common chronic oral disease that could disturb their quality of life including their development. Early prevention is a key approach to reducing the prevalence of early childhood caries. However, a reliable caries predictor, as an essential tool for targeted prevention that is important to this approach, is still lacking for infants before caries onset. Therefore, we aimed to develop the caries risk prediction model based on the salivary microbiome of caries-free 1-year-old children to predict caries onset at 1-year follow-up. Using a nested case-control design within a prospective cohort study, 30 saliva samples, …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Scaffold plays a key role in the context of tissue engineering. It not only provides a structural support for cells, but also creates an appropriate milieu for recruited cells, enhancing the therapeutic effects of cell-based treatments, and enabling the controlled release of biological cues such as growth factors. Collagen is widely used scaffold material in tissue engineering, particularly in periodontal and bone regeneration. Other natural polymers, however, have been developed and can be useful. Therefore, in this study, we aim to investigate the ability of four different natural polymers including collagen, chitosan, silk fibroin, and silk fibroin/gelatin hydrogel in promoting …
The Novel Cyanoacrylate Based Fluoride Varnish, Narongrit Larpbunphol
The Novel Cyanoacrylate Based Fluoride Varnish, Narongrit Larpbunphol
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The important factors contributing to the effectiveness of fluoride varnish are the amount of fluoride ion release and the retention time of the varnish on the tooth surface. Commercial fluoride varnishes are susceptible to mechanical removal; therefore, patients are informed to avoid eating for a few hours and refrain from tooth brushing for 12–24 h, which results in patient inconvenience. However, the novel cyanoacrylate based fluoride varnish would not have these disadvantages. This study compared the daily fluoride ion release, abrasion resistance to brushing, and toxicity to human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) between a newly-developed cyanoacrylate based fluoride varnish and Duraphat …
