Abstract

Prosthetic treatment restores proper chewing function and facial aesthetics, and enhances the quality of life. The overall aesthetic result of the use of removable prostheses is correlated with the type of artificial teeth used and with the maintenance of aesthetic effect and color stability. The aim of the study was to evaluate the formation and intensity of discoloration caused by the dyes present in selected 5-layer acrylic teeth. The study material was a group of 90 5-layer acrylic teeth. Samples were immersed in black tea and dry red wine for 6 months. The control group was immersed in distilled water and consisted of 30 samples. The teeth were subjected to spectrophotometric examination at the start of the study, after 24 h, 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 4 months, and 6 months. Among the teeth examined, in about 85% of the samples the color corresponded with the order. Teeth immersed in black tea became darker. From the 7th day to the 6th month, none of the samples changed their brightness. The teeth had the same degree of brightness. The teeth did not change tone during the experiment. Teeth immersed in dry red wine changed their shade to A starting on the 14th day, and by the 4th month all samples had changed shade to A or ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
