چکیده
Aim. Peri-implant mucositis affects 39.4-80% of patients restored with dental implants. If left untreated it evolves in peri-implantitis. Thus far no predictable successful treatment has been reported for peri-implantitis, resulting in implant failure. Proper diagnosis and treatment of peri-implant mucositis is of crucial importance. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the available data regarding the effectiveness of peri-implant mucositis treatments in humans, parameters used for the diagnosis and treatment effect evaluation. Materials and methods. A literature search for RCT and observational studies on peri-implant mucositis treatments in humans was conducted on Pubmed up to January 2012. CONSORT/STROBE and PRISMA checklists guided the evaluation of studies found and the writing of this review, respectively. Results. Only 5 studies fulfilled the selection criteria. Few possibly effective treatments were studied. Diagnostic parameters reported were clinical only, while treatment effect evaluation was based on clinical and microbiological changes, except for one study reporting biochemical analysis. An evident heterogeneity characterized the follow-up intervals and methods used for reporting parameters changes. Conclusions. Neither of studied treatments gave complete resolution of peri-implant mucositis. Different treatment strategies need to be studied. Authors suggest guidelines for a protocol of parameters used for determining the sample size, diagnosis and treatment effect, as well as follow-up periods, in order to permit evidence and comparison of different treatments effectiveness.

Chemical and biological assessment of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in pulmonary cells and in an acute in vivo model: relevance to pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and debilitating condition. Despite promoting vasodilation, current drugs have a therapeutic window within which they are limited by systemic side effects. Nanomedicine uses nanoparticles to improve drug delivery and/or reduce side effects. We hypothesize that this approach could be used to deliver PAH drugs avoiding the systemic circulatio...

We describe new computer-based search strategies for extreme functions for the Gomory–Johnson infinite group problem. They lead to the discovery of new extreme functions, whose existence settles several open questions. 1 166 3 166 2 83 5 166 3 83 7 166 9 166 5 83 11 166 6 83 13 166 15 166 8 83 17 166 9 83 19 166 21 166 11 83 23 166 12 83 25 166 29 166 15 83 31 166 16 83 33 166 17 83 35 166 18 8...

Instance-based property matching in linked open data environment
Instance matching frameworks that identify links between instances, expressed as owl:sameAs assertions, have achieved a high performance while the performance of property matching lags behind. In this paper, we leverage owl:sameAs links and show how these links can help for property matching.
