Relation between In Vitro Toxicity and the Thiol-Reactivity of Methacrylates in Resin-Based Biomaterials -

In this study we aimed to further map the suggested relation between GSH-depletion and methacrylate toxicity by comparing the molecular effects of methacrylate exposure and GSH-depletion by inhibiting GSH-synthesis.

Chitosan incorporated in denture base resin reduce biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans -

The aim of this study was to investigate the biofilm inhibitory effect of methacrylated chitosan covalently incorporated into the PMMA network of denture base resin against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans.

Endodontic materials – irrigants, sealers, and obturating materials -

The root canal filling concludes the classical triad in endodontic treatment: biomechanical instrumentation, disinfection and obturation. The purpose of the root canal filling is to prevent penetration of bacteria into the root canal and to prevent access of nutrients and growth of residual bacteria.

Dental research and its relevancy in global times of crisis -

During the annual Norwegian festival of knowledge and science, held all over the country in the end of September, scientists and researchers from both NIOM and the University Of Oslo held a public forum at Oslo’s House of Literature to present some of the findings in the newest research and how they relate to “crossing borders,” the theme for the festival.
