One of the most important factors in a dental implant's success is an adequate quantity of supporting bone. However, there are still some limitations for the bone substitution material. Previous studies found that tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) had the potential for bone formation induction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of...

Incidence of oral and maxillofacial lesions is useful for making differential diagnosis. However, epidemiological studies of oral lesions in Thailand are limited. Most of the studies were from other countries, where nationality, genetic background, environment and life style are different from Thai people. Objective This study aimed to evaluate in...

Background Effects of various Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) regimens on oral heath are unclear. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate effects of HAART on oral manifestations, salivary flow rates (SFR) and Candida species in HIV-infected patients who took mostly non-protease inhibitor-based HAART regimens. Material and Methods A cross-sec...

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among HIV-positive and HIV-negative Thai men and women.

To investigate the knowledge and attitudes of Thai dental practitioners regarding patients with HIV, a cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaires was conducted. The questionnaires requested demographic information and included questions evaluating the knowledge and attitude of dental practitioners towards HIV. The results were ana...

Objective: To investigate the effects of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) on salivary flow rates and oral colonization of Candida spp. in HIV-infected Thai patients. Method: HIV-infected Thai patients who were taking HAART (HIV with HAART), never took HAART (HIV without HAART), and subjects with negative HIV testing results were inclu...

Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm with high recurrent rate after conservative treatment. It is the most common odontogenic tumor found in the mandible. However, the mechanism of tumor cell behaviors is still unclear. Objective: To investigate the ultrastructure of ameloblastoma tumor cells that might relate to the tum...

Abstract Despite the advancement in highly active antiretroviral therapy and improved health status of HIV-infected individuals, dental problems are still affecting their life and well-beings. We aimed to establish the prevalence of oral and dental complaints among HIV-infected patients, the prevalence of delayed access to dental service, and facto...

Biomimetic gelatin (gel)-hydroxyapatite (HA) composites have been prepared for studying hard tissue engineering scaffolds. However, the biocompatibility test of this form of material using these three cell types, which are periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblast cells, human mesenchymal stromal cells (HMSc) and primary cells from human hip bone (HBc)...

Genes involved in apoptosis are important and over expression of these genes are thought to contribute to carcinogenesis. Aim: to evaluate the expression of anti-apoptotic factors in a series of epithelial malignancies and actinic keratosis using immunohistochemistry. Design: Laboratory microscopy of stained biopsy specimen. Materials and methods:...
