Notes

Higher carbs and glucose exacerbates neuroinflammation along with apoptosis at the more advanced phase following post-traumatic injury to the brain.
Linear polymerization shrinkage of the specimens showed a significant decrease in the control and all the experimental groups.

Addition of 1 wt% nanoclay to polymethyl methacrylate heat cure denture base material could enhance the surface hardness and reduce the linear polymerization shrinkage of the resin. However, there was no significant increase in flexural strength of the resulting nanocomposite.

The autologous platelet concentrates (PCs), such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM), are processed through different centrifugation protocols, which can affect their biological properties and in turn influence treatment outcome. The pH value can influence the process of wound healing directly or indirectly. Hence, a study was conducted to evaluate fibrin network pattern, initial pH of obtained matrix, and its changes during degradation matrix and to determine platelet and leukocyte count in PRF and PRFM.

Blood from the volunteers was collected in blood vacutainers for processing PRF and PRFM. It was centrifuged as per the standard protocol. Serum from PRF and PRFM was subjected for analysis of platelet and leucocyte concentration using Hemo-Analyzer. The pH of PRF and PRFM were evaluated over 5 days using a pH meter. PRF and PRFM were subjected to histological and scanning electron microscopic analysis.

There was no significant variation in the platelet and leukocyte count between PRF and PRFM. 1-Thioglycerol A steady rise in the level of pH with respect to PRFM was observed, whereas there was a decrease in the pH levels in PRF. Fibrin network was denser in PRF compared to PRFM.

The PCs undergo variation in pH upon degradation. Formation of fibrin matrix is influenced by the method of preparation. Fibrin pattern is crucial to facilitate adhesion of cells and transport of nutrients to enable proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal cells and better wound healing.

This study aims to evaluate autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and autogenous connective tissue graft (CTG) in interdental papilla (IDP) reconstruction with buccal and palatal split-thickness flap (STF) using microsurgical technique.

Forty Class I or Class II open gingival or cervical embrasure in maxillary anterior region in 14 patients were surgical treated for the reconstruction of IDP. For experimental Group I (STF with PRF,
= 20), surgical site was flushed with PRF fluid. PRF was then placed under the buccal flap and in the IDP region and squeezed. For experimental Group II (STF with CTG,
= 20) after the preparation of recipient site, CTG procured from palate was trimmed to the desired size and shape and placed at the site. Clinical parameters and patient satisfaction response recorded were plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, height of IPD, and papilla index score (PIS).

STF surgery in combination with PRF or CTG, are an effective procedure to incterm multicentric randomized clinical trial may be necessary to evaluate the clinical outcome for autologous PRF in comparison to CTG with STF.
The aim of this study is to study the colonization of subgingival biofilm (SGB) with periodontopathogenic bacteria species and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in patients with coronary heart disease and concomitant periodontitis.

Forty-five patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) were examined - 28 women (62%) and 17 men (38%) aged 53-76 years, including 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 15 patients with exertional angina (pectoris), and 15 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) without CVD. Dental and cardiological health conditions were determined, a biochemical blood test was conducted, endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the brachial artery was measured, and DNA of periodontopathogenic bacteria in SGB was detected.

A reliable interrelation between the colonization of SGB with periodontopathogenic bacteria and development of AMI was established. In AMI patients, the frequency of
, and
detection was significantly higher than in the group of participants without cardiovascular disease. The presence of
and
in patients with CP directly correlated with severity of periodontal tissue destruction. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the brachial artery moderately correlated with patient's cardiological condition (
= 0.3284), biochemical markers of atherosclerosis development (
= 0.6465), and frequency of
detection in periodontal pockets (
= 0.3828).

Periodontal status in patients with AMI is characterized by unsatisfactory and poor hygiene, increased indices of bleeding on probing, and periodontal pocket depth in comparison to groups of patients with angina pectoris and CP without cardiovascular pathology.

To increase the push-out bond strength of endodontic materials, newer obturation materials and obturation techniques are being introduced.

The present study aimed to evaluate the push-out bond strength of three different obturating materials using a universal testing machine (UTM).

A total of thirty freshly extracted maxillary anterior teeth were collected and randomly divided into three groups of ten each. Biomechanical preparation was done in all the teeth, and they were then divided into three experimental groups according to the obturation material and technique used, as follows Group I gutta-percha (GP) with AH Plus root canal sealer (lateral condensation); Group II thermoplasticized GP technique - noncarrier based (CALAMUS
) with AH Plus sealer (backfill); and Group III C-points (self-sealing root canal obturating system) with bioceramic sealer (single cone). Each specimen was subjected to push-out test using the UTM, where the punch moved in an apical to coronal direction at a crosshead speed of 0.
