Relationship of excessive daytime sleepiness with bruxism, depression, anxiety, stress, and sex in odontology students - A cross sectional study.
To verify if there is a correlation of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with bruxism, depression, anxiety, stress, and sex in odontology students.Four hundred dental students were selected. Students included in the study were those that were healthy, over 18 years old, and with similar weekly academic activities. Students excluded were those with temporomandibular disfunction, a high possibility of possessing obstructive sleep apnea and illnesses that cause EDS; along with smokers, users of illicit drugs, users of psychiatric medication, and those that abuse the consumption of alcohol.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01 Background: The repair of bone defects has been the subject of many studies that have shown inconclusive results as to what is the best bone substitute. Material and Methods: Bone defects (0 2 mm) were induced on the tibia of seventy-two rats, which were distributed into the following four groups/treatments (n=18 each): Control: no treatment; EMD: enamel matrix derived protein; PBM: photobiomodulation therapy (660 nm, 0,035 W, 60 s); EMD + PBM: EMD and immediate treatment with PBM (660 nm, 0,035 W, 60 s). Six animals from each group were euthanized after 10, 30 and 60 days. Histologi…
