Evaluation of pain perception during orthodontic debonding of metallic brackets with four different techniques
Conclusions Majority of the patients had no fear of pain before debonding. Pain levels of the patients in the conventional debonding group were not significantly different from those of the other groups, except quadrant scores of females in the soft bite wax group. The null hypothesis was accepted. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Development and characterization of a novel bulk-fill elastomeric temporary restorative composite
Conclusions: The present findings suggest that the physical, mechanical and biological properties of the experimental TFMs with ZM are comparable with the properties of the commercial reference. However, some properties were improved, such as lower microleakage and water sorption, and higher ultimate tensile strength values. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Proteomic analysis of the acquired enamel pellicle formed on human and bovine tooth: a study using the Bauru in situ pellicle model (BISPM)
Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the proteins typically found in the AEP appeared in both groups, regardless the substrate. The BISPM revealed to be a good device to be used in studies involving proteomic analysis of the AEP. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Surface and vertical dimensional changes of mineral trioxide aggregate and biodentine in different environmental conditions
Conclusions: Dry, wet, and blood conditions had a time-dependent effect on the surface roughness and vertical dimensional changes of the materials. However, acidic conditions did not affect the roughness and the surface level of the materials. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Effect of fluoride application during radiotherapy on enamel demineralization
Conclusions: Fluoride reduced mineral loss and maintained the outer morphology of irradiated and cycled enamel. However, it was not as effective in preserving the mechanical properties of enamel. Radiotherapy altered the enamel's elastic modulus and its chemical composition. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Effect of topical ozonetherapy on gingival wound healing in pigs: histological and immuno-histochemical analysis
Conclusion: The topical application of ozone gas could be effective in the early stages of wound healing by increasing the amount of VEGF expression. Clinical Relevance: Topical application of ozone gas may be effective in the early stages of oral wound healing. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Effects of in-office bleaching agent combined with different desensitizing agents on enamel
Conclusions: The use of desensitizing agents containing fluoride, CPP-ACP, potassium nitrate or n-HAP after in-office bleaching or mixed in bleaching agent did not inhibit the bleaching effect. However, they all recovered microhardness of enamel 14 days after in-office bleaching. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

The link between ankylosing spondylitis and oral health conditions: two nested case-control studies using data of the UK Biobank
Conclusion: Self-reported and clinically diagnosed AS populations have increased risk of reporting oral ulcers. Further investigations are required to assess the link between a specific type of oral condition and AS. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Effects of cyclosporin, nifedipine and phenytoin on gingival myofibroblast transdifferentiation in monkeys
Conclusion: Based on this methodology, it may be concluded that gingival overgrowths induced by cyclosporin, nifedipine and phenytoin are not associated with neither myofibroblast transdifferentiation, proliferation nor apoptosis of gingival connective cells in monkeys.

Correlation of salivary immunoglobulin A with Body Mass Index and fat percentage in overweight/obese children
Conclusion: Gingival inflammation and salivary parameters were similar for NWG and OG; however, s-IgA presented higher values in OG, with correlations between BMI and body fat percentage. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Stanozolol promotes osteogenic gene expression and apposition of bone mineral in vitro
Conclusions: This study provided encouraging results, showing ST promoted the osteogenic commitment of SaOS-2 cells. Further studies are required to validate these data in primary osteoblasts and to investigate ST molecular pathway of action. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)
