Cytokine thresholds in gingival crevicular fluid with potential diagnosis of chronic periodontitis differentiating by smoking status
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)The objective of the present study was to determine cytokine thresholds derived from predictive models for the diagnosis of chronic periodontitis, differentiating by smoking status. Seventy-five periodontally healthy ... -
Cytokine-based Predictive Models to Estimate the Probability of Chronic Periodontitis: Development of Diagnostic Nomograms
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-14)Although a distinct cytokine profile has been described in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with chronic periodontitis, there is no evidence of GCF cytokine-based predictive models being used to diagnose the ... -
Deep Neural Networks for Chronological Age Estimation From OPG Images
(IEEE, 2020)Chronological age estimation is crucial labour in many clinical procedures, where the teeth have proven to be one of the best estimators. Although some methods to estimate the age from tooth measurements in orthopantomogram ... -
DenTiUS Plaque, a Web-Based Application for the Quantification of Bacterial Plaque: Development and Usability Study
(JMIR Publications, 2020)Background: In the dentistry field, the analysis of dental plaque is vital because it is the main etiological factor in the 2 most prevalent oral diseases: caries and periodontitis. In most of the papers published in the ... -
Detection of MET Alterations Using Cell Free DNA and Circulating Tumor Cells from Cancer Patients
(MDPI, 2020)MET alterations may provide a potential biomarker to evaluate patients who will benefit from treatment with MET inhibitors. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the utility of a liquid biopsy-based ... -
Detection of transient bacteraemia following dental extractions by 16S rDNA pyrosequencing: a pilot study
(PLOS, 2013)Objective:The current manuscript aims to determine the prevalence, duration and bacterial diversity of bacteraemiafollowing dental extractions using conventional culture-dependent methods and 16S rDNA pyrosequencing.Methods:The ... -
Development and Characterization of a Tacrolimus/Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Eye Drop
(MDPI, 2021)Uveitis is a vision inflammatory disorder with a high prevalence in developing countries. Currently, marketed treatments remain limited and reformulation is usually performed to obtain a tacrolimus eye drop as a therapeutic ... -
Devices for In situ Development of Non-disturbed Oral Biofilm. A Systematic Review
(Frontiers Media, 2016-06-23)Objective: The aim of this review was to assess the types of devices used for in situ development of oral biofilm analyzed microbiologically. Materials and Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted ... -
Diabetes mellitus and oral lichen planus: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2021)Objective: To undertake a meta-analysis of the association of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) with diabetes, two diseases with an important impact on public health and the economy, but the evidence of which about their association ... -
Diagnostic yield of sentinel lymph node biopsy in oral squamous cell carcinoma T1/T2-N0: systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021)The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in T1/T2-N0 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A systematic review of the literature ... -
Differential expression of snoRNAs in oral squamous cell carcinomas: new potential diagnostic markers
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01-26)Background: Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are small non-coding RNA sequences whose most studied function is ribosome biogenesis. The altered expression of snoRNA is observed in tumoral processes such as breast cancer and ... -
Dissecting the proton transport pathway in oral squamous cell carcinoma: state of the art and theranostics implications
(MDPI, 2019)Cancer cells overexpress proton exchangers at the plasma membrane in order acidify the extracellular matrix and maintain the optimal pH for sustaining cancer growth. Among the families of proton exchangers implicated in ... -
Effect of chewing an apple on dental plaque removal and on salivary bacterial viability
(Plos, 2018)Objectives Studies on dental plaque removal by chewing an apple are scarce and dated, with conflicting findings. This study aimed to determine whether chewing an apple produced mechanical removal of dental plaque or had ... -
Ex vivo vs. in vivo antibacterial activity of two antiseptics on oral biofilm
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Aim: To compare the immediate antibacterial effect of two application methods (passive immersion and active mouthwash) of two antiseptic solutions on the in situ oral biofilm. Material and Methods: A randomized ... -
Expression of gingival crevicular fluid markers during early and late healing of intrabony defects after surgical treatment: a systematic review
(Springer, 2019)Background: Surgical treatments such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and access flap surgery are widely employed for the treatment of intrabony defects. However, little is known regarding the postoperative expression ... -
Extracellular Vesicles-Based Biomarkers Represent a Promising Liquid Biopsy in Endometrial Cancer
(MDPI, 2019)Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted in large amounts into biological fluids of cancer patients. The analysis of EVs cargoes has been associated with patient´s outcome and response to therapy. However, ... -
