Schwann cells produce myelin sheath around peripheral nerve axons. Myelination is critical for rapid propagation of action potentials, as illustrated by the large number of acquired and hereditary peripheral neuropathies, such as diabetic neuropathy or Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases, that are commonly associated with a process of demyelination. However, the early molecular events that trigger the...

Background: The link between dental, infective and obstructive cardiovascular diseases is debatable. Aim: To systematically review the literature to assess association dental conditions development of disease. Methods: systematic was conducted following PRISMA guidelines using PubMed (Medline), Web Science, Scopus, EMBASE SciELO. Results: Out 6680 records, 82 articles were eligible for inclusio...

For ten years, the incidence of preterm birth does not decrease in developed countries despite the promotion of public health programs. Many risk factors have been identified including ethnicity, age, tobacco, and infection. However, almost 50% of preterm birth causes remain unknown. The periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory and infectious diseases of tooth supporting tissues l...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of hereditary peripheral neuropathies that share clinical characteristics of progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy, foot deformities, distal sensory loss, as well as diminished tendon reflexes. Hundreds of causative DNA changes have been found, but much of the genetic basis of the disease is still unexplained. Mutations in the ALS5/SPG11/KIAA1840 ...

Annotation. The study aimed to analyze references in the scientific literature on hard dental tissue damage and periodontal oral mucosal diseases patients with concomitant gastrointestinal tract pathology. We used bibliosemantic method identify status of outlined issues analysis research data. Based data from national international published topic, prevalence, severity structurality changes org...

background bleaching of traumatized discolored teeth is considered an important issue in esthetic dentistry. various methods have been introduced for bleaching, some of which may have adverse effects on soft or hard tissues of the tooth. objectives the objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of ktp laser bleaching on enamel of traumatized teeth. materials and methods a square of 36 m...

The periodontal diseases, as the name is intended to imply, are a group of diseases which affect the tissues around the teeth, the gingiva or gum, the alveolar bone, the fibrous joint or periodontal membrane, and the cementum. It is important to note that this is a motley collection of tissues, one epidermal, the gingiva, and three mesodermal, two of which, the alveolar bone and the cementum, a...

Periodontal diseases are the major cause of tooth loss. The study of the evolution of these diseases is crucial to achieve adequate planning and treatment. Depth probing is essential to know the periodontal disease stage. In this paper we present a new system for Computer-Aided Periodontal Disease Diagnosis using computer vision. The system automates the depth probing and incorporates a colour ...

Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most prevalent infectious diseases of the oral cavity and are responsible for more than 50% cases of tooth mortality (Okell et al 1935, Sunitha et al 2008). Dental caries is a multifactorial disease causing irreversible loss of dental tissue and microorganisms have a critical role in its etiopathogenesis, initiation and progression which has been e...

Periodontal diseases are characterized by alveolar bone absorption and destruction of periodontal ligament and cementum and are the main causes of tooth loss in adults. This series of diseases is harmful to both human oral and body health. Although periodontitis is under control because of the implementation of conventional treatment modalities, regenerating damaged periodontal tissues remains ...
