The search terms used included: home care, domiciliary care, older people, and oral health. Inclusion criteria comprised articles published in Scielo and Google Scholar databases. The article was categorized to provide a clear exposition of the information. \u0000Results; Home Care (HC) in Brazil evolved from an informal practice initiated by sanitary agents in the early 20th century to a structured service with the creation of the Unified Health System (UHS) in 1988. The UHS established programs such as the Family Health Program, which integrated home visits by doctors and nurses, and later incorporated HC in three levels (HC1, HC2, HC3) to address different care complexities. The role of dentists in HC includes promoting oral health, treating urgenties, guiding caregivers, and performing clinical procedures, which are essential for the quality of life of the older people. This approach requires specific handling techniques and professional adaptation, focusing on prevention and less invasive treatments, considering the biopsychosocial health of patients. Conclusion: Home Care Services are crucial, with dentists providing care that includes the prevention and promotion of oral health. HC promotes humanized and comprehensive care, positively impacting the well-being of the older people. Long-term effectiveness depends on prevention, caregiver education, and professional adaptations.","PeriodicalId":510530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dentists","volume":" 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antibacterial activities of the ethanolic extracts of propolis were conducted using antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The effect of these extracts on the cell morphology were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Calcium hydroxide and 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used as controls. \u0000Results: Statistical analysis was done using unpaired t-test to differentiate the difference of the two averages. The ethanol extracts of MLP showed higher activity compared to MRP at 50mg/ml on E. faecalis with zone of inhibition of 14.33mm and 10.00mm respectively. MIC test for MRP and MLP was 0.78125mg/ml and 3.125mg/ml respectively. Whereas the MBC value for both MRP and MLP was 12.50mg/ml and 50.00mg/ml respectively. SEM analysis showed that MP disrupted the size, cell morphology and the structure of the bacteria cell wall. \u0000Conclusion: Our study showed MRP outperformed MLP against E. faecalis via MIC, MBC and SEM. Dissimilarities of surrounding trees in Raub and Lenggong may provide the variable chemical source contributing to this contrast. Thus, these stingless bees have a very special relationship with plant resins, relying on them for the very survival of their nests.","PeriodicalId":510530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dentists","volume":"4 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EDS procedure was provided with the use of EDS-detector. Local elements content data at the three above-mentioned specific areas of files’ working surfaces was presented in means of weight percent (wt%), normalized to 100%, and was automatically calculated by the SEM-EDS software. \u0000Results: Expressiveness of visible signs of impurities present over working surfaces of the files demonstrated correlation with nickel (r=-0.62, p < 0.05) and titanium (r=-0.49, p < 0.05) content at analyzed areas, while also with carbon (r=0.57, p < 0.05) and oxygen (r=0.50, p < 0.05) content at analyzed areas. Odds ratio for possibility to register traces of one of the following elements N, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, Cr, Fe, Ca at the working surface of endodontic file under condition of present pronounced visible signs of impurities was found to be at the level of OR=12.5 (95% CI: 1.08; 143.44; p=0.04). \u0000Conclusions: None of the analyzed files was free of impurities over their working surface.

This procedure has proven to be a good and cost-effective alternative for replacing teeth with indications for extraction. Depending on the case, it is possible to maintain the vitality of the tooth and the periodontal ligament, ensuring proprioception and physiological dental mobility. The aim of the study is to describe a series of clinical case reports of autogenous dental transplants, in addition to discussing the results obtained based on current literature. The study features with a series of autogenous dental transplant cases conducted at Euro American University Center, where the indication for such a procedure was the extensive coronal destruction of the first molars in young patients. The surgeries were performed in atraumatic manner using a single-stage technique and semi-rigid splinting with occlusive sutures using 4-0 nylon thread. The results demonstrate significant success in the postoperative period, with the absence of symptoms and maintenance of pulp vitality and periodontal ligament. Based on the studies and case reports, it was observed that transplantation remains a safe and economically viable alternative for the replacement of prematurely lost teeth, within its indications and limitations.","PeriodicalId":510530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dentists","volume":"68 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139155880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Wistar rats were randomly randomized in five experimental groups according to the periodontal treatment: NC (negative control; no periodontitis); PC (positive control; periodontitis without any treatment); SRP (periodontitis and SRP), aPDT I (periodontitis and SRP+aPDT+MB solubilized in water), and aPDT II (periodontitis and SRP+aPDT+MB solubilized in ethanol 20%). To induce the experimental periodontitis, one mandibular right first molar of each animal received the cotton ligature in a submarginal position. The periodontal treatments were performed after 7 days of ligature removal. Results: PC group had more bone loss compared to the other groups. SRP and aPDT I groups showed equivalent bone losses and the aPDT II group showed bone loss similar to the aPDT I group, smaller than the PC and SRP groups on the 7th day. PC and SRP groups showed higher gingival lipoperoxidation levels on the 7th day, but only the PC group exhibited higher gingival lipoperoxidation on the 15th day. Besides, it indicated an aPDT II protective action on the gingiva on the 7th day observed by the maintenance of the gingival glutathione (GSH) levels similar to NC group. The aPDT treatments were able to prevent gingival collagen degradation with 7 days of treatment. Conclusions: aPDT can act as a beneficial adjuvant tool to minimize bone loss, collagen degradation and periodontitis-induced oxidative damages. Therefore, it is possible to suggest that the short-term aPDT causes beneficial responses accelerating periodontal healing.","PeriodicalId":510530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dentists","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139169590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
