Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

Multiclass Segmentation using Teeth Attention Modules for Dental X-ray Images [PDF]
This paper proposed a cutting-edge multiclass teeth segmentation architecture that integrates an M-Net-like structure with Swin Transformers and a novel component named Teeth Attention Block (TAB). Existing teeth image segmentation methods have issues with less accurate and unreliable segmentation outcomes due to the complex and varying morphology of ...

Endodontic Treatment Of Teeth With Post-Trauma Root Calcification: Case Report
The calcification of the root canal is a process that may occur after a dental trauma or slowly develop due to physiological dental aging. It is characterized by hard tissue deposition on both the pulp chamber and the root canal.

Oral plaque from Type 2 diabetic patients reduces the clonogenic capacity of dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major metabolic disease and a key epigenetic risk factor for the development of additional clinical complications. Among them, periodontitis (PD), a severe inflammatory disease ascribable to a dysregulated physiology and ...

The Role of microRNAs in Pulp Inflammation
The dental pulp can be affected by thermal, physical, chemical, and bacterial phenomena that stimulate the inflammatory response. The pulp tissue produces an immunological, cellular, and vascular reaction in an attempt to defend itself and resolve the ...
