Gelatinolytic activity in gingival crevicular fluid from teeth with periapical lesions
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Objective. Many matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) have been associated with periodontal tissue destruction during chronic and apical periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine gelatinolytic activity in gingival ...
Prevalence of clinical attachment loss in adolescents in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
(CIENCIAS, 2005)
Background: Data on periodontal conditions in adolescents in the Dominican Republic are scarce. The aim of the present crosssectional study was to estimate the prevalence of periodontal attachment loss among Dominican ...
Vacuum phenomenon in the temporomandibular joint: a clinical, computed tomography and magnetic resonance case report
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
A 28-year-old woman presented with a history of clicking and mandibular clenching. She was studied clinically and with axial and coronal CT. The patient was going through a tense emotional period and reported tightening ...
New Transference Technique of Position of Mandibular Reconstructing Plates Using Stereolithographic Models
(CIENCIAS, 2009)
Stereolithographic models are commonly used to adapt reconstructive plates in patients who will undergo mandibular resection. However, the published reports have not explained exactly how to accurately transport this plate ...
Predictive factors in infraorbital sensitivity disturbances following zygomaticomaxillary fractures. International
(CIENCIAS, 2005)
The aim of this study was to define if the alterations in sensory modalities could be a predictive factor in the prognostic recovery of the ION. Ten patients that had suffered facial trauma, associated with sensitivity ...
Longitudinal analysis of metalloproteinases, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and clinical parameters in gingival crevicular fluid from periodontitis-affects patients
(CIENCIAS, 2005)
BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to improve the assessment of the periodontal disease status through measurements of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissular inhibitors (TIMPs) in the gingival ...
MMP-13 and TIMP-1 determinations in progressive chronic periodontitis
(CIENCIAS, 2007)
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is a collagenase involved in extracellular matrix degradation either by its direct degradative effects or by processing bioactive substrates. The aim of this study was to determine the ...
Severe spontaneous cases of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws
(CIENCIAS, 2007)
A new kind of osteonecrosis has been reported, first in connection with chemotherapy and later with bisphosphonate therapy. Bisphosphonates are used as adjunctive therapy with patients suffering from cancer. The connection ...
Giant mandibular bone defect: Report of a case
(CIENCIAS, 2006)
In 1942 Edward Stafne1 described a series of 35 cases of asymptomatic radiolucent bone cavities next to the mandibular angle. The cavities seemed to be spheric.PERIHUEICO or elliptic monolocular radiolucencies, well defined, ...
