Filter by:Due to the impracticality of accessing the gold standard test devices, researchers have developed easy-to-use and cost-effective smartphone applications that do not require expert knowledge, and these applications have been used to measure different motor abilities. Smartphone applications such as CODtimer, Stopwatch Movie watch, and Seconds Count are used to evaluate the ability to change direction within these biomotor features. However, the validity and reliability of these applications are the subjects of research.
Composite is one of the common aesthetic restorations used in the dentistry. With the advancements in the biomaterials the application of the composites has broadened. However due to various factors the composites are associated with dental sensitivity. Hence in our study we evaluate and compare the effectiveness of three desensitizing agents in reducing the post-treatment sensitivity for class I composite restoration.
The study applies the Sluggishness, Assistance in walking, Rising from a chair, Climb stairs, Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire in older patients hospitalized in an acute care geriatric unit and aims to determine its performance indicators to screen for sarcopenia according to the revised European Consensus on definition and diagnosis (EWGSOP2) within this population
The most important cause of mortality and morbidity with the geriatric population is loss of balance and the consequent falls, which is seen very often. The goal of our study is to examine the effects of plantar sensation education-based exercises on balance and falls.Materials and methods: 16 healthy, voluntary nursing home residents with the average age 77.50±5.5. Individuals had plantar sensory exercises 40 min sessions for 3 days/week during eight weeks. The study was planned as a self-controlled prospective study. Functional balance was evaluated using Berg Balance Scale, dynamic balance was evaluated using 30 Second Chair Stand Test, static balance and fall risk were assessed using Biodex Balance System.
Our study evaluated and compared the postoperative sensitivity of the placement technique (incremental and bulk fill) in class II posterior composite resin restorations bonded with two different adhesive strategies (self-etch and etch-and-rinse).Sixty patients were randomly selected, their age range from 25 to 40 years old. They were divided into 2 main groups according to the packing technique of composite material; incremental Tetric Evoceram and Tetric Evoceram bulk fill composite.30 patients (n=30) were selected for incremental Tetric Evoceram composite restorations and they were equally divided according to the adhesive systems used (etch and rinse or self-etch adhesive strategy) (n=15 teeth).30 patients (n=30) were selected for Tetric Evoceram bulk fill composite restorations and they were equally divided according to the adhesive systems used (etch and rinse or self-etch adhesive strategy) (n=15 teeth).Post-operative pain assessed at 24 hours, 1 week and 1 month using the visual Analog Scale Score (VAS).Each patient was instructed to place a vertical mark on the VAS line at home to indicate the intensity of pain at each assessment period.
This study aims to compare the sensitivity of detecting Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium by real-time multiplex PCR in a pooled analysis (i.e. gathering pharyngeal, anorectal and urinary samples) versus the standard of care (where a real-time multiplex PCR is made in each of the three samples).
Exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can facilitate of motor output but no studies of sensory effects has been reported.
Bleeding on probing demonstrated to have high specificity with certain level of sensitivity to detect periodontal disease. Again, understanding the weak hemidesmosome attachment to the implant surface is imperative to discern on the probe penetration extent and subsequent bleeding. In the presence of inflammation, bleeding should be present indicating high sensitivity when probing deeper sites; nevertheless the lack thereof in healthy condition does not seem to translate high specificity. In this sense, it is noteworthy to mention that the mucogingival shift after implant placement often decreases the presence of keratinized mucosa, triggering a greater inflammatory condition on the peri-implant tissues. Thereupon, bleeding on probing, although might reliably indicate presence of disease, it does not seem to be a suitable diagnostic parameter. On the other side, suppuration characterizes the necrosis of peri-implant tissues, being rich in polymorphonuclear cells and as such, a sensitive indicator of bone turnover. In this sense, it must be noted that, if detected in early stages where bone resorption has not occurred yet, it might be a consequence of a foreign body reaction (i.e., residual cement or floss). Therefore, in the diagnosis of peri-implantitis, radiographic examination must be always incorporated to the clinical assessment as the 'gold standard'. Hence, the aim of this case-control study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of peri-implantitis-related clinical parameters compared to otherwise healthy dental implants.
Introduction: The pain sensitivity associated with whitening is the main problem reported by patients during dental whitening, and the use of desensitizing dentifrices is an alternative for the treatment of sensitivity. Objective: To evaluate clinically the influence of desensitizing dentifrices applied through a plastic tray, reducing the pain sensitivity and color variation caused by the technique of in-office dental whitening, through a controlled double-blind clinical study. Methods: A longitudinal prospective study was conducted with 48 individuals, 18 years and 30 years of age, without gender distinction, who underwent in-office dental whitening using 35% hydrogen peroxide (Whiteness HP, FGM, Joinville , SC, Brazil) in three clinical sessions with a one-week interval between them. The volunteers used in the night for each bleaching session a plastic tray for 4 hours containing one of the dentifrices related to the experimental groups: Group 1 (Control) - Sucralose (S) (Biotype - Manipulation pharmacy); Group 2 (Active control) - Sodium fluoride (FS) with 1450ppm of fluorine (Close up triple, Unilever); Group 3 - Arginine, calcium carbonate (ACC) and sodium monofluorophosphate with 1450 ppm fluorine (Colgate sensitive pro-relief, Colgate-Palmolive); Group 4 - 5% potassium nitrate (NP) and sodium fluoride with 1450 ppm fluorine (Sensodyne pro-enamel, GlaxoSmithKline). The evaluation of the sensitivity associated with the times of use of the plastic tray in the first session (S1: sensitivity before the tray, S2: sensitivity after the tray), in the second session (S3: sensitivity before the tray, S4: in the third session (S5: sensitivity before the tray, S6: sensitivity after the tray) used the analog numerical scale with scores from 0 to 10 and for the color evaluation the spectrophotometer (Easyshade, Vident, Brea, CA, Obtaining the data that were used in the CIELab system. The data were submitted to the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with repeated measurements and Lambda Wilks test with a 5% probability level to differentiate the groups. In addition, the factorial variance analysis (ANOVA) in one criterion was applied. Values of p <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
