Long-term development of temporomandilubar disorders in rheumatoid arthritis
(2013-09-10)ABSTRACT. Inflammatory joint diseases can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) but there has been uncertainty to what extent. Most common are rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic ... -
Masticatory retraining effect on masseter muscle, facial morphology and alveolar bone structure in the adult rat
(2018-11-12)The aim of this series of investigations was to study the effect of masticatory muscle retraining in adult rats with an earlier reduced masticatory muscle function on the craniofacial morphology, on the internal alveolar ... -
Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Monolithic Zirconia
(2015-03-25)Zirconia has been widely used in dentistry to improve the strength of ceramic restorations maintaining aesthetics. In addition, zirconia is increasingly being used for monolithic crowns without veneering porcelain. However, ... -
Medication in temporomandibular disorders and bruxism
(2016-05-23)The aim of this thesis was to explore aspects of pharmaceutical intervention in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and bruxism. Sleep bruxism is a movement disorder that signals disturbed sleep and constitutes a significant ... -
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization
(2011-11-18)Overall aim: The general objective of this thesis was to enhance the understanding of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) in areas of the histological, chemical and mechanical properties of the hypomineralized enamel, ... -
Molecular and Cellular Control of Palate Development in the Mouse
(2008-10-27)The formation of a definitive secondary palate in mammals is a multistep process that comprises growth, elevation, contact and fusion of the two palatal shelves. Disruption at any step generates cleft palate, a major ... -
Molecular Control of Organogenesis, Cell Fate Specification and Cell Differentiation: Genetic and Experimental Studies in the Mouse
(2018-12-13)Deciphering the mechanisms controlling normal development sheds light onto the etiopathogenesis of congenital malformations and diseases, and knowledge of the expression patterns of proteins and/or their encoding genes is ... -
Neutrophil recruitment in periodontal disease
(2021-10-01)Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive in infected or injured tissues, where they engulf microbes and clean up cell debris. Periodontitis is one of the typical symptoms of both neutropenia and defect neutrophil ... -
Neutrophil Serine Proteases in Health and Disease
(2022-05-17)Neutrophils are filled with many antimicrobial agents, including the neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs); a group of proteases including Elastase, Proteinase 3, and Cathepsin G. Synthesized as inactive proforms, the NSPs ... -
On antimicrobial approaches to arrest and control chronic periodontitis
(2009-05-08)The main objectives were to study the effect of frequently repeated supragingival plaque removal on the subgingival microbiota and periodontal pocket reduction and to analyze the adjunctive effect of different antimicrobial ... -
On Approaches to Periodontal Infection Control
(2007-10-09)The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement approach ... -
On Approximal Caries Prevention using Fluoridated Toothpicks, Dental Floss and Interdental Brushes
(2008-09-10)Although dental health has improved during the last 40-50 years, approximal caries still constitutes a problem in many age groups. It is important that fluoride (F) toothpaste is used when brushing the teeth. In some ... -
On biological response and wear particles around oral implants and implant components
(2023-11-01)ABSTRACT Wear particles released from implant components are gaining interest in the dental literature. In orthopedic medicine, wear particles are known to cause bone loss around medical implants in an aseptic manner and ... -
On CAD/CAM generated fixed dental prostheses, fit and effect of ceramic veneering
(2016-11-28)The general aims of this thesis were to study CAD/CAM production processes, material aspects on cobalt-chromium (CoCr), clinical performance, and fit of tooth-, and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). A ... -
On Carbohydrate Intake and Dental Status in the Elderly
(2008-11-11)People’s dental status has the potential to affect dietary intake and, at the same time, diet may affect the health of the dentition. To study the associations, the elderly appear to be an appropriate group and carbohydrates ... -
On Caries Risk Profile and Prevention in an Adult Saudi Population
(2010-05-11)Objectives. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate: 1) the caries profile in an adult Saudi population with several dental restorations using a computer-based program (Cariogram), 2) the prevalence of primary and recurrent ... -
On Caries Risk Profiles Using Cariogram and Caries Prevention with Fluoridated Toothpaste in Orthodontic Patients
(2010-09-28)Objective. The aims of this thesis were to: 1) analyse caries-related factors shortly after orthodontic treatment, 2) demonstrate the usefulness of the Cariogram by presenting orthodontic patients with different caries-risk ... -
On Characteristics of Burning Mouth Syndrome Patients
(2018-08-20)Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a condition with unknown aetiology that is characterised by a chronic unremitting burning sensation in the oral mucosa. This condition, which affects mainly middle-aged and older women, ... -
On cobalt-chrome frameworks in implant dentistry
(2009-11-22)Background: Cobalt-chrome (CoCr) alloys have been used in dentistry in decades but very little is known about their behavior and biological impact as framework materials in implant dentistry. Furthermore, few studies ... -
