Pro-Resolving Maresins in Inflammation: New Pathway and Mechanisms With Oral Pathogens
(2015-07-02)
Objectives
The aim of this thesis was to study the biosynthesis of Maresin 1 (MaR1) in human macrophage and to investigate the potential defect of this pathway in patients with localized aggressive periodontitis as well ...
A Comparison of Zirconia CAD/CAM to Conventionally Fabricated Single Implant Restorations in the Esthetic Zone
(2015-07-02)
Objective: This project aimed to determine whether single tooth implant restorations fabricated with CAD/CAM zirconia abutments/porcelain fused to zirconia crowns reveal different biological and esthetic outcomes compared ...
Impact of Resolvin E1 on Experimental Periodontitis and Periodontal Biofilm
(2015-07-02)
Objective: The goal of this project was to determine the impact of local inflammation on changes in the subgingival biofilm composition in ligature-induced periodontitis in rats using the specialized pro-resolving mediator ...
A Comprehensive Assessment of Soft Tissue Esthetics
(2015-07-02)
This thesis investigated the efficacy of two techniques, digital spectrophotometry and narrow-band endoscopy, in observing and describing gingival tissue in a patient population. The efficacy of existing gingival restorative ...
Comprehensive Optical Assessment of Peri-Implant Mucosa
(2015-07-02)
Esthetic outcomes with implants begin with proper implant placement, but the predictability of the peri-implant esthetic outcome is also affected by patient’s pre-existing or reconstructed local tissue. An unpleasant optical ...
Evaluation of αLphav Integrin Role in Mouse Model Induced Periapical Periodontitis
(2016-08-16)
Abstract:
Background: alphav (av) integrin is the most common integrin alpha subunit, it is expressed in different cells and involved in many cellular process including adhesion, migration, survival and growth factor ...
The Possible Roles of CD73 and Adenosine in the Osteoimmunological Bone Resorption of Periradicular Periodontitis
(2016-08-16)
Introduction: Periradicular periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by perpetual microbial infection in the root canal system which, if left untreated, results in the destruction of tooth supporting tissues. Tenacious ...
A Two-Pronged Approach to Understanding Quality and Safety Events at the Dental Office
(2016-08-16)
ABSTRACT
Objectives: Owing to the limited number and scope of studies in dentistry regarding quality and patient safety, the overarching goal of this thesis was to understand the nature and occurrence of quality and ...
Immunomodulation of Macrophages in Periapical Wound Healing
(2016-08-16)
Background: A periapical lesion is an infection-induced inflammation around the apex of the tooth caused by bacterial invasion and ultimately results in the destruction of bone in the area. To date, the relationship between ...
Saturation of the Biological Response to Orthodontic Forces and Its Effect on the Rate of Tooth Movement
(2016-04-11)
Objectives: The objectives of this research are to investigate the biological response of the body to different magnitude of force, and to investigate if the response varies among individuals. Therefore this research has ...
