In Situ Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oils with and without Alcohol on Oral Biofilm: A Randomized Clinical Trial
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Currently, there is little evidence on the in situ antibacterial activity of essential oils (EO) without alcohol. This study aimed to evaluate in situ the substantivity and antiplaque effect on the plaque-like biofilm ... -
Quantification by qPCR of Pathobionts in Chronic Periodontitis: Development of Predictive Models of Disease Severity at Site-Specific Level
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-09)Currently, there is little evidence available on the development of predictive models for the diagnosis or prognosis of chronic periodontitis based on the qPCR quantification of subgingival pathobionts. Our objectives were ... -
Predictive factors of the dimensions and location of mental foramen using cone beam computed tomography
(Public Library of Science, 2017-08-17)Objective The mental foramen (MF) hosts main neurovascular structures, making it of crucial importance for surgical procedures. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the dimensions and location of the ... -
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 ... -
Targeting of chondrocyte plasticity via connexin43 modulation attenuates cellular senescence and fosters a pro-regenerative environment in osteoarthritis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, is a leading cause of disability and pain worldwide. In OA, chondrocytes in cartilage undergo phenotypic changes and senescence, ... -
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 ... -
Skeletal Class III Malocclusion in an Adult Patient – Orthodontics versus Orthognathic Surgery: Is there Another Alternative?
(Scientific Scholar, 2018)Class III malocclusions are considered to be one of the most difficult problems to treat. Due to the significant number of patients with Class III malocclusion who cannot undergo orthognathic surgery for different reasons, ... -
In situ substrate-formed biofilms using IDODS mimic supragingival tooth-formed biofilms
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study aimed to compare the bacterial viability and diversity of a substrate-formed biofilm (SF-biofilm) in situ to a supragingival tooth-formed biofilm (TF-biofilm) in the same group of individuals. The impact of the ... -
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 ... -
Actinic Cheilitis prevalence and risk factors: a cross-sectional, multicentre study in a population aged 45 years and over in north-west Spain
(Society for Publication of Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2018)Actinic cheilitis is thought to be a premalignant lesion or a superficial squamous cell carcinoma. The prevalence of actinic cheilitis in Europe is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of actinic ... -
Human salivary microRNAs in Cancer
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2018-01-06)Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as excellent candidates for cancer biomarkers. Several recent studies have highlighted the potential use of saliva for the identification of miRNAs as novel biomarkers, which ... -
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 ... -
