Non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth in a family unit with a normal karyotype: case report

ABSTRACT Introduction. Hyperdontia is an odontostomatologic anomaly characterized by an excess in tooth number. It seems to occur more often in patients with hereditary factors concerning this anomaly: this case represents a rare form of hyperdontia, with bilateral multiple supernumerary teeth, ...

Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms Associate with Microbiogical Agents in Periodontal Disease: Our Experience

ABSTRACT Periodontics has evolved from a simplistic model to a more complex interplay between infection and host response. Genetic factors have been a new addition to the list of risk factors for periodontal diseases. The processes leading to destruction and regeneration of the destroyed tissues ...

Influence of Endodontic Treatment on Systemic Oxidative Stress

ABSTRACT Introduction: An increased production of oxidizing species related to reactive oral diseases, such as chronic apical periodontitis, could have systemic implications such as an increase in cardiovascular morbidity. Based on this consideration, we conducted a prospective study to assess w...

Three-Point Bending Tests of Zirconia Core/Veneer Ceramics for Dental Restorations

Abstract The mechanical strength and the surface hardness of commercially available yttrium-doped zirconia were investigated. Furthermore, a comparative study of eight different ceramic veneers, to be used for the production of two-layered all-ceramic restorative systems, was carried out. Materia...

Periodontal disease and bone pathogenesis: the crosstalk between cytokines and porphyromonas gingivalis

Abstract Periodontal disease is the most frequent cause of tooth loss among adults. It is defined as a plaque-induced inflammation of the periodontal tissues that results in a loss of support of the affected teeth. This process is characterized by destruction of the periodontal attachment apparat...

Mixed dentition space analysis of a southern italian population: new regression equations for unerupted teeth

Abstract Mixed dentition analysis forms a critical aspect of early orthodontic treatment. In fact an accurate space analysis is one of the important criteria in determining whether the treatment plan may involve serial extraction, guidance of eruption, space maintenance, space regaining or just p...
