Oral conditions and salivary analysis in HIV-uninfected subjects using preexposure prophylaxis.
2021
New prevention strategies have been advocated to control the progression of HIV/AIDS, such as preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential changes in the oral and salivary conditions of HIV-uninfected subjects using PrEP. Subjects were evaluated before beginning the medication (T0), at the first follow-up (T1), and at the second follow-up (T2). Xerostomia, presence of untreated cavitated caries, oral hygiene habits, taste, gingival and plaque index, stimulated salivary flow rate (SSFR), and salivary concentrations of calcium, glucose, urea, and total proteins were evaluated. Data obtained were analyzed using statistical tests (p0.05), except for the sal…
Postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth submitted to large apical preparation using oscillatory kinematics.
2021
Regardless of the technique applied for chemomechanical preparation, postoperative pain is a very relevant matter in endodontics. Objective: To evaluate postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth submitted to large apical preparation (LAP) using oscillatory kinematics.The sample included 60 asymptomatic necrotic teeth with or without apical radiolucency, and with normal periodontal status, referred for endodontic treatment. Following initial procedures, the position and approximate size of the apical constriction were determined by using an apex locator and K Flexofiles, respectively. The chemomechanical preparation was conducted using oscillatory kinematics and 2.5ml o…
