Evaluation of dentinogenesis inducer biomaterials: an in vivo study
Conclusions: The mineral trioxide aggregate (WhiteProRoot ®MTA) and tricalcium silicate (Biodentine ™ ) present slight and reversible inflammatory signs in the pulp tissue, with the formation of mineralized tissue. However, the exacerbated induction of mineralized tissue formation with the tricalcium silicate biomaterial may lead to the formation of pulp calcifications (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Effect of passive ultrasonic activation on microorganisms in primary root canal infection: a randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: Both treatments significantly decreased the number of bacterial species compared with the initial sample. However, no statistical difference in the total microbial load between PUA and CNI groups was detected. The number of cultivable anaerobic bacteria reduced significantly using PUA, and the bacterial composition and number of bacterial species after using either CNI or PUA was similar.

Impact of calcium aluminate cement with additives on dental pulp-derived cells
Conclusion: In conclusion, CAC with Bi2O3, but not with ZnO, supported the expression of odontoblastic phenotype, but only the composition with 10% CaCl2 promoted mineralized matrix formation, rendering it suitable for dentin-pulp complex repair. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Mortality due to oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Uruguay from 1997 to 2014
Conclusions: Our study described a high mortality rate for oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Uruguay from 1997 to 2014. According to the country's health department, men, tongue cancer, and oral cavity had higher mortality rates, with some variation. Prevention strategies with control of risk factors and early diagnosis are necessary to improve survival in the Uruguayan population. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

New WHO odontogenic tumor classification: impact on prevalence in a population
Conclusions: As of today, the most recent WHO classification to be followed brings KCOT back to the cyst category, which will impact on the prevalence and epidemiology of OTs; thus, this study was able to identify a considerable increase (287.80%) in the prevalence of OTs when the 2005 WHO classification was utilized. Despite being an important academic exercise, classifying odontogenic lesions and determining whether to place the odontogenic keratocyst in a cyst or tumor category is crucial to establish the correct diagnosis and treatment to follow, whether by oral medicine or oral surgery specialist, or by the general pr...

The use of a liner under different bulk-fill resin composites: 3D GAP formation analysis by x-ray microcomputed tomography
Conclusion: It can be concluded that different types of bulk-fill composite resins affected gap formation volume. Low-viscosity bulk-fill composites exhibited better adaptation to cavity walls and less gap formation than did sonic-activated bulk-fill composites. The use of an RMGIC liner produced a significant reduction in gap formation volume for sonic-activated bulk-fill composites. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Liposomal anesthetic gel for pain control during periodontal therapy in adults: a placebo-controlled RCT
Conclusion: Our results suggest limited indications for the use of non-invasive anesthesia when used for scaling and root planing. Intra-pocket anesthetic gel could be a good option for anxious patients , or those who have a fear of needles. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

Differences between the oral changes presented by patients with solid and hematologic tumors during the chemotherapeutic treatment
Conclusion: It was concluded that the oral changes during the chemotherapeutic treatment occurred especially in swallowing function, in the mucous membrane, in the labial mucosa and in the gingiva, and these alterations were found mainly in patients with hematologic tumors.

Effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on experimental periodontitis and AhR/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in a mouse model
Conclusions: These results implicate the alleviation of periodontitis and the alteration of AhR/NF- κ B/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway by VD3 in the mouse model. The attenuation of this periodontal disease may correlate with the regulation of AhR/NF- κ B/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway by VD3. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)

A comparison of the sealing abilities between Biodentine and MTA as root-end filling materials and their effects on bone healing in dogs after periradicular surgery
Conclusions: MTA and Biodentine exhibited comparable cellular biocompatibility. Biodentine showed a superior sealing ability to MTA in root-end filling. Both Biodentine and MTA promoted periradicular bone healing in beagle dog periradicular surgery models. (Source: Journal of Applied Oral Science)
