Artificial teeth : dental biofilm analysis on a chip
… required to simulate the growth of complex dental biofilm. Dental plaque formation is not only a precursor to tooth decay, but also induces more serious systemic health problems such as cardiovascular disease, pre-term labor, and diabetes. Therefore, understanding the conditions promoting …

Development and Characterization of An In Vitro Four-Species Anaerobic Dental Biofilm Model
<p>Dental caries is the most common chronic disease worldwide. It is characterized by the demineralization of tooth enamel caused by acid produced by cariogenic dental bacteria growing on tooth surfaces, termed bacterial biofilms. Cariogenesis is a complex biological process that is influence by …

Dental biofilm formation in young children and the long term effects of fluoride varnish
… the effects of fluoride on indigenous biofilms in vivo are unclear. Aims: The aim of this study was to combine data specifying the distribution of oral bacteria derived from clinical samples with in vitro observations in order to define the effects of improved behaviour and the use of …

Anti-Caries Efficacy of Fluoride at Increasing Maturation of a Microcosm Biofilm
Dental biofilm is a main contributing factor in the initiation and progression of dental caries. The maturation of dental biofilms is expected to alter the anti-caries efficacy of fluoride compounds. In the first aim, we conducted a series of modeldevelopment experiments to test different variables …

Dental caries prophylaxis with photosensitizers (experimental, laboratory and clinical studies) // Профилактика на зъбния кариес с фотосенсибилизатори (експериментални, лабораторни и клинични изследвания)
[EN] Dental caries is a social, multietiological bacterially-mediated disease with significant consequences for the oral and the overall health of the human population. Diseases related to microbial biofilms are one of the most prevalent bacterial diseases in humans. The process of destruction of …

A drug-free theranostic approach for localized and systemic diseases via nanoparticles
… this thesis to work out the localized diseases (dental biofilm, bone microdamage) and systemic diseases problems. At first, I applied strategies from materials science to modify the chemical properties of the carbon dots and worked towards the improvement of their interaction with the cells/ …

Pronthocyanidin-Rich Cranberry-FractionInduced Alteration of Periodontal Pathogen Lipopolysaccharide Functions
… fraction on the aggregation of oral bacteria and dental biofilm formation we showed that this fraction was a potent inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory cytokines and superoxide ions induced by LPS of periodontopathogens. This provides promising perspectives for the development of novel …

Investigating the role of host genetic polymorphisms in periodontitis susceptibility in a Western Cape population
… periodontal damage has occurred. While microbial biofilm is key to the disease onset, the host’s immune-inflammatory response primarily drives tissue destruction. Periodontitis results from complex interactions between the oral microbiome, the host immune system, and environmental factors in …
