Objective: The present in-vivo-study aimed on identifying periodontopathogenic key species in correlation to the current classification system. It was evaluated if there is an association in frequency to single periodontitis stages and grades. Materials and methods: The study included 100 patients that…
The protein Cordon Bleu (Cobl) belongs to the group of actin nucleators. Through the formation of trimeric actin nuclei, Cobl authorizes the genesis of filamentous actin structures. Cobl has been detected by our group in secretory active and mature ameloblasts. Nevertheless, most aspects of its role…
The objective of this study was to compile the currently available evidence regarding the functional and morphologic outcomes of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fracture. We performed searches in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as manually (IOK issues 2008–2019) using the keywords…
(1) Background: The in vitro study aimed to investigate mechanical characteristics of resin composites and their suitability in direct restauration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT). (2) Methods: 38 endodontically treated premolars with occlusal access cavities were directly restored using the following…
Background: Material-dependent parameters have an important impact on the efficiency of light polymerization. The present in vitro study aimed to investigate the influence of the increment thickness and shade of nano- and nanohybrid resin composites on the transmission of curing light. Methods: Three…
Recently, our group showed that additional supplementation of Trolox™ (vitamin E analogue) can significantly enhance the antimicrobial photodynamic effect of the photosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG). Up to now, the combined effect has not yet been investigated on Enterococcus faecalis in dental root…
Objectives Previous efforts led to the development of two different polymeric biomaterials for periodontal regeneration with antibacterial photodynamic surface activity. The present study aimed to investigate osseointegration and bone formation of both materials in an ovine model. Methods Both biomaterials:…
(1) Background: In the oral environment, sound enamel and dental restorative materials are immediately covered by a pellicle layer, which enables bacteria to attach. For the development of new materials with repellent surface functions, information on the formation and maturation of salivary pellicles…
(1) Background: Decalcified enamel and dentin surfaces can be regenerated with non-fluoride-containing biomimetic systems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a zinc carbonate-hydroxyapatite-containing dentifrice on artificially demineralized enamel and dentin surfaces. (2) Methods: Human enamel…
Einleitung: Bei persistierenden endodontischen Infektionen wird häufig Enterococcus faecalis (E.f.) nachgewiesen. Die antimikrobielle photodynamische Therapie (aPDT) ist eine moderne Alternative zu bestehenden antibakteriellen Behandlungsmethoden. Ziel dieser In-Vitro-Studie war es, die antibakterielle…
