Improving practice guidelines for the treatment of denture-related erythematous stomatitis: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2017)Background: Denture-related erythematous stomatitis (DES) is a chronic biofilm-mediated disease, affecting one in every three complete denture wearers. Antifungals are the treatment most commonly prescribed by oral health professionals, based on the ... -
Influence of experience and training on dental students’ examination performance regarding panoramic images
(2016-02)Physician training has greatly benefitted from insights gained in understanding the manner in which experts search medical images for abnormalities. The aims of this study were to compare the search patterns of 30 fourth-year dental students and 15 ... -
Integration of oral health into primary care : a scoping review protocol
(2016-10-18)Integrated care has been introduced as a means of improving health outcomes and access to care, and reducing the cost of healthcare. Despite its importance, the integration of oral health into primary care is still an emerging healthcare pathway. This ... -
Intraosseous Schwannoma of the Jaws: An Updated Review of the Literature and Report of 2 New Cases Affecting the Mandible
(2017)Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath neoplasms composed almost entirely of Schwann cells. These tumors most often arise in the soft tissues of the head and neck. However, seldom do they occur within bone. This article presents a rare case of a recurrent ... -
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern and ability to encode information. Several neuronal ... -
Long-term randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of fixture surface acid-etching and machined collar design on bone healing
(Quintessence International Publishing Group, 2018)Objectives: An implant with an acid-etched fixture surface and internal-hex collar may achieve greater osseointegration. The goal of this research was to study the effects on long-term bone healing of fixture surface acid-etching and machined collar ... -
Major salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia in Down syndrome: review of the literature and report of a case
(2017-05)Salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia are rarely described in the medical literature. This article presents a case of aplasia and hypoplasia of the major salivary glands in a patient with Down syndrome. A literature review, as well as ... -
Neonatal low-protein diet reduces the masticatory efficiency in rats
(2015-09)Little is known about the effects of undernutrition on the specific muscles and neuronal circuits involved in mastication. The aim of this study was to document the effects of neonatal low-protein diet on masticatory efficiency. Newborn rats whose ... -
Oral pyoderma gangrenosum: diagnosis, treatment and challenges: a systematic review
(2017-12-31)Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a distinctive ulcerative skin disorder of unknown etiology, associated with an underlying systemic disease in up to 70% of cases. The condition is characterized by the appearance of one or more necrotic ulcers with a ... -
Oral-facial tissue reconstruction in the regenerative axolotl
(2016-12)Absence of large amounts of orofacial tissues caused by cancerous resections, congenital defects or trauma result in sequelae such as dysphagia and noticeable scars. Oral-neck tissue regeneration was studied in the axolotl (regenerative amphibian) ... -
Patient satisfaction with E-Oral Health care in rural and remote settings: a systematic review protocol
(2017)BACKGROUND: Individuals living in rural and remote settings face oral health problems and access-to-care barriers due to the shortage of oral health care providers in these areas, geographic remoteness, lack of appropriate ... -
Prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of two different implant collar designs on peri‐implant healing and functional osseointegration after 25 years
(Wiley, 2020-12-14)Objectives Evaluate the effects of two different machined‐collar lengths and designs on peri‐implant healing. Material and Methods An implant with a microtextured surface and 3.6mm‐long internal‐connection machined collar was compared to two ... -
Rural-urban disparity in oral health-related quality of life
(2017-09-21)OBJECTIVES: The objective of this population-based cross-sectional study was to estimate rural-urban disparity in the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of the Quebec adult population. METHODS: A 2-stage sampling design was ... -

TGF-beta superfamily and limb regeneration : TGF-beta to start and BMP to end
(Wiley, 2021-06-07)Axolotls represent a popular model to study how nature solved the problem of regenerating lost appendages in tetrapods. Our work over many years focused on trying to understand how these animals can achieve such a feat and not end up with a scarred up ... -
Tissue regeneration in dentistry: can salamanders provide insight?
(2017-04-29)The ability to regenerate damaged tissues would be of tremendous benefit for medicine and dentistry. Unfortunately, humans are unable to regenerate tissues such teeth, fingers or to repair injured spinal cord. With an aging population, health problems ...
