The oral cavity harbors more than 700 microbial species and is one of the most complex ecosystems ever described. While the majority of these microbes are considered commensal, some of them are responsible for oral infectious diseases such as dental caries, periodontitis, halitosis and stomatitis. The advancement of modern science has greatly furthered our understanding of oral microbes and their roles in host health and disease. It has also led to the development of new tools for early detection, effective treatment, and prevention of oral microbial infections. This perspective provides a general understanding of oral microbiology, and its clinical relationship …

Adamts-4 And Adamts-5 Expression In Human Temporomandibular Joint Discs With Internal Derangement, Correlates With Degeneration, Rosalia Leonardi, Salvatore Crimi, Luis Eduardo Almeida, Giuseppe Pannone, Giuseppe Musumeci, Sergio Castorina, Mugurel Constantin Rusu, Carla Loreto

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement (ID) is one of the most common form of temporomandibular disorders. There is evidence showing the increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the cells from degenerated TMJ disc. ADAMTS are a large family of metalloproteases which are responsible for proteoglycans degradation. The present study aimed to evaluate ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 immunohistochemical expression in human TMJ discs from patients affected by ID, and to find out if there is any correlation with the degree of histopathological changes. Eighteen temporomandibular displaced disc specimens and sixteen TMJ disc control were used for the present study. Specimens were …

Effect Of Additives On Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Setting Reaction Product Formation, Angela M. Zapf, Sharath C.V. Chedella, David W. Berzins

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

Introduction

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) sets via hydration of calcium silicates to yield calcium silicate hydrates and calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]₂). However, a drawback of MTA is its long setting time. Therefore, many additives have been suggested to reduce the setting time. The effect those additives have on setting reaction product formation has been ignored. The objective was to examine the effect additives have on MTA's setting time and setting reaction using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Methods

MTA powder was prepared with distilled water (control), phosphate buffered saline, 5% calcium chloride (CaCl₂), 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), or …

Role Of Wnt Signaling On Proliferation And Osteogenic Differentiation Of Stem Cells From Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth In Vitro, Panarat Rattanaworawipa

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth in vitro. Methods: Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were stimulated with human recombinant Wnt3A at various concentrations (50, 100 and 200ng/ml) in basic growth medium and osteogenic medium. Cell proliferation was determined using colony forming unit assay. The mRNA expression levels of osteogenic-related genes were determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. The osteogenic differentiation was evaluated using mineralization assays. Values were expressed as mean …

Immunohistochemical Assessment Of Cytokeratin 17 And Epcam Expression In Different Grades Of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Safaa El-Baz, Iman Helmy, Mohamed Hosam El Mallahy

Dentistry

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck region, is graded based on Broder’s classification into well-differentiated, moderately, and poorly differentiated. Cytokeratin 17 (K17, CK17) is an acid-type I cytokeratin with a low-molecular weight of 48.1 kDa. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a hemophilic Ca2+ independent adhesion molecule. This study used an immunohistochemical technique (IHC) to examine the expression of CK17 and EpCAM in thirty-two specimens of OSCC (comprising 13 well-, 9 moderately, and 10 poorly differentiated cases), and 2 specimens of normal oral mucosa, used as control. It was found …
