Background: The management of peri‐implant tissue seeks to meet the aesthetic expectations of patients, with a smaller number of procedures that favor the development and maintenance of healthy peri‐implant soft tissue. The customized healing abutment technique on immediate implants has demonstrated numerous functions for the success of restoration...

Antecedentes: El precalentamiento de las resinas ha demostrado mejorar propiedades físicas como la microdureza superficial. Algunas resinas compuestas de bajo costo no han sido muy estudiadas y el precalentamiento podría mejorar sus propiedades. Objetivo: evaluar si el precalentamiento aumenta la microdureza superficial de 6 resinas compuestas y si...

Antecedentes: la caries dental ha sido estudiada desde múltiples enfoques, sin embargo, a pesar del conocimiento disponible, lograr medidas efectivas para prevenir su aparición en los individuos y las comunidades, aún parece lejano. Objetivo: integrar los cambios conceptuales actualmente aceptados para caries, con escenarios en la práctica clínica,...

Objectives: To design and implement a training process in Motivational Interview (MI) for professors in the clinic area from 4 dental schools in Colombia. Methods: 9 Professors from 4 dental schools in Colombia, participated in the training that included exercises within the dental attention context and was composed of 3 theorethical-virtual module...

The use of serious games, virtual patients, and other forms of digital learning technologies are starting to emerge in dentistry schools around the world. However, because of their novelty, there is still a need for literature discussing the different challenges of computer-supported education in this field. This paper presents the design, developm...

Introduction: different factors participate in the pathogenesis ofperiodontal diseases. One factor is the interaction between the fibroblasts and derived productsfrom the microorganisms found in the periodontal environment. Objective: In this work, cultures ofhuman gingival fibroblasts from a healthy donor were used to characterize the in vitro res...

p> ABSTRACT. Background : due of capsaicin effect on the control of various inflammatory mediators, it has been proposed to modulate inflammatory processes caused by physical assaults to pulp tissue. Purpose : to evaluate the effect of capsaicin diluted in 0.05 % ethanol and its vehicle on PGE₂production, IL-8, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-12p70...

p> ABSTRACT. Background: Child battered syndrome that affects children and adolescents from all ethnic groups, social classes and religions. In Colombia according to the numbers given by the Colombian Family Welfare Institute of physical abuse affect children between 5-14 years. 75 % of the injuries caused by this syndrome occur to the head or neck...

Dental caries is an infectious disease which still constitutes a public health concern. It begins at an early age and is caused mainly Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The aim of this study was to characterize the salivary humor immune response to S. mutans proteins in patients with caries, with history of caries and without caries, in order to de...

Background: Normal functional occlusion requires teeth to be perfectly aligned with adequate anterior coupling and canine protection guidance. Purpose: To evaluate the alveolar ridge height of maxillary impacted canines after orthodontic traction and compare it to contralateral canines with normal eruption, in patients between 10 and 18 years of ag...

Background: Calendula officinalis has multiple therapeutic properties such as improving the process of cicatrization. Therefore, it is interesting its possible value and use to treat oral pathologies. Objective: To observe the effect of three presentations of C. officinalis in different concentrations on the proliferation of the human gingival fibr...

The main problem for the forensic odontologist during the first hours after death is the limited oral openind due to rigor mortis developed in the masticatory muscles. Objetive: To determinate the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate in the reversion of rigor mortis. Method: A forensic experimental design was developed. Forty unidentified cadavers at the...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the percentage and the mean fluorescence intensity of viable alternatively activated monocytes/macrophages (AAMø) CD163+ positive for calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRPr) within the total AAMø population in human dental pulp. Pulp tissue samples were collected from teeth with a clinical diagnosi...

To use radioreceptor analysis for evaluating whether vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors are present in chronic periapical lesions and to determine whether differences in its expression are found according to the size of the lesions. Twelve periapical lesions were obtained from teeth diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis and indicat...

To use radioreceptor analysis for comparing substance P (SP) receptor expression in human pulp tissue samples collected from teeth having a clinical diagnosis of acute irreversible pulpitis, healthy pulps and teeth with induced inflammation. Five pulp samples were obtained from teeth having a clinical diagnosis of acute irreversible pulpitis. Anoth...

Understanding pulp repair and regeneration requires being familiar with this tissue's behavior under extreme conditions, such as postmortem state where an abrupt interruption of tissue blood supply occurs. The purpose of this study was to quantify cell viability and the amount of lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) expressed in human pulp tissue 6, 12, and...

To use radioreceptor analysis for comparing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor expression in human pulp tissue samples collected from teeth having a clinical diagnosis of acute irreversible pulpitis, healthy pulps and teeth with induced inflammation. Six pulp samples were obtained from teeth having a clinical diagnosis of acute irrever...

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of this study was to use a radioreceptor assay to evaluate whether IGF-1 receptors are present in human pulp and to determine whether differences in its expression are found in the pulp tissue of teeth having incomplete or complete ro...

The main goal of this study was to evaluate tissue levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in human pulpal samples collected from teeth with a clinical diagnosis of acute irreversible pulpitis, normal pulps, and teeth with induced pulpal inflammation. All the pulp tissue was mechanically separated, collagenase digested to release individua...

La capsaicina es un alcaloide natural, que permite el control de la inflamación neurogénica al disminuir los niveles de neuropéptidos como la SP y el CGRP, por lo que podría llegar a ser considerada, una herramienta farmacológica para el manejo terapéutico de la inflamación pulpar. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar el efecto...
