objective(s):atherosclerosis is chronic inflammatory process triggered by oxidative stress. oxidative stress can increase hydrogen peroxide (h2o2)level, which induce atherosclerosis through the processes such as formation of perivascular adipose tissue (pvat), foam cells, and atherosclerotic plaque. antioxidant is needed to control negative effects of oxidative stress. one source of antioxidant...

  Objective: Microbial plaque is among the main etiologies of periodontal disease, and tooth brushing with toothpaste is the most commonly used method of plaque control. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of tooth brushing with and without three different dentifrices.   Methods: Thirty dental students were randomly selected to participate in this clinical trial and were asked to refrain f...

OBJECTIVE Cell biological studies demonstrate remarkable similarities between mineralization processes in bone and vasculature, but knowledge of the components acting to initiate mineralization in atherosclerosis is limited. The molecular level microenvironment at the organic-inorganic interface holds a record of the mechanisms controlling mineral nucleation. This study was undertaken to compar...

Plaque biofilm is considered one of the etiological factors involved in onset caries and gingivitis, associated with progression periodontitis peri-implant inflammation. There no agreement literature on effectiveness oscillating-rotating (OR) powered toothbrush (PTB) high-frequency sonic (HFS) PTB improving oral health. Thus, using present proof-of-concept study we aimed to evaluate OR versus H...

Background and Aim: In recent years, the use of herbal oral care products has been taken into consideration for reducing dental plaque accumulation. Propolis has been widely used in medicine due to its multiple biological properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiplaque efficacy of an herbal toothpaste containing propolis in comparison with a control group. Materials and Method...
