Preparation of a fluorinated dental resin system and its anti-adhesive properties against S. mutans - Resin system prepared exclusively with fluorinated methacrylate monomers reduced the S. mutans adhesion due to their increased hydrophobicity and decreased surface energy. Compared with Bis-GMA/TEGDMA, the FDMA/FBMA resin system also exhibited higher double bond conversion and lower water sorption and solubility
Oral lesions associated with daily use of snus, a moist smokeless tobacco product. A cross-sectional study among Norwegian adolescents - Use of snus, a moist, smokeless tobacco product, may lead to local changes in the oral mucous membrane in the area where the snus is placed. It can also cause irreversible gingival retraction. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between use of snus, oral mucosal lesions (snus induced lesions) and gingival retractions among adolescents in Norway.
Association of locus Xq26.1 – 27.3 with Erosive Tooth Wear Phenotypes in a Group of Adolescents - Erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial condition of an increasing prevalence. There is a need for discovering individual genetic predisposition for the development of this condition. Considering that the chromosome X locus was shown to be associated with dental caries, the aim of the present study was to look for the association between this locus […]
