Novel Molecules for Intra-Oral Delivery of Antimicrobials to Prevent and Treat Oral Infectious Diseases [PDF]

, 2008
New molecules were designed for efficient intra-oral delivery of antimicrobials to prevent and treat oral infection. The salivary statherin fragment, which has high affinity for the tooth enamel, was used as a carrier peptide. This was linked through the

Biomimetic Mineralization of Keratin Scaffolds for Enamel Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin‐based films guide biomimetic enamel remineralization by promoting organized hydroxyapatite growth under physiological conditions. Advanced biophysical characterization confirms keratin's structural adaptability and mineral ions‐binding affinity, supporting mineral nucleation and hierarchical crystal assembly. This study establishes keratin as a

Comparison of a checklist for clinical signs of impairment and detection of drugs in saliva [PDF]

, 2010
Objectives: In Belgium and some other countries, the police performs on-site drug screening when a driver is suspected of being drug impaired, since the test procedure is time consuming and the screening devices are relatively expensive. The objective of

Evaluation of Salivation Promotion by Odor, Pressure, and Thermal Stimulus for Designing Wearable Device to Increase Salivation

Sci
Saliva is an important fluid related to the maintenance of oral and systemic health, and a decrease in saliva volume causes various adverse effects. Saliva volume should be increased to avoid the adverse effects caused by decreased saliva volume.

Gentamicin‐Loaded Carbonate Apatite with Dual Antibacterial and Osteogenic Functions for Combating Surgical Site Infections

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bone substitute with gentamicin physically precipitated onto the surface of carbonate apatite exhibits prompt drug release, high bactericidal activity, and osteogenic capacity. Efficient antibacterial activity mitigates early postoperative neutrophil accumulation, the status of which may serve as a potential parameter for evaluating the antibacterial
