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 ... -
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 ... -
Senescence gives insights into the morphogenetic evolution of anamniotes
(2017)Senescence represents a mechanism to avoid undesired cell proliferation that plays a role in tumor suppression, wound healing and embryonic development. In order to gain insight on the evolution of senescence, we looked at its presence in developing ... -
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) ... -
A swelling of the lateral hard palate

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 ... -
Activation of Smad2 but not Smad3 is required to mediate TGF-β signaling during axolotl limb regeneration
(2016-10-01)Axolotls are unique among vertebrates in their ability to regenerate tissues, such as limbs, tail and skin. The axolotl limb is the most studied regenerating structure. The process is well characterized morphologically; however, it is not well ... -
Drug-induced parkinsonism: diagnosis and management
(2016-09-23)Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) has been known for >60 years. It is the second leading cause of parkinsonism, but still underdiagnosis is likely to influence reported incidence figures. Since DIP is clinically undistinguishable from Lewy-body Parkinson’s ... -
Does immediate loading affect clinical and patient-centered outcomes of mandibular 2-unsplinted-implant overdenture? : a 2-year within-case analysis
(2016-07-01)Objective To provide 2-year clinical- and patient-oriented data with regard to mandibular overdenture assisted by 2 immediately loaded unsplinted implants. Material and methods In this pre-post design, Phase-I clinical trial, 18 edentate ... -
Association entre les affections buccodentaires et le cancer colorectal : une revue et synthèse de la littérature
Association between oral conditions and colorectal cancer : a literature review and synthesis
(2016-04-01)Position du problème: La parodontite chronique et l’édentement sont des affections buccodentaires chroniques qui, depuis quelques décennies, sont incriminées dans la survenue de différents types de cancers. Cette revue de littérature avait pour but ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to generate a rhythmic firing pattern. Here we show in the ... -
Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes. Methodology/Principal Findings: Acidic saline (AS, pH 4.0) ... -
Endothelin-1 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes triggers nitric oxide production and upregulates collagenase production
(2005)The mechanism of endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, MMP-1 production and MMP-13 production was investigated in human osteoarthritis chondrocytes. The cells were isolated from human articular cartilage obtained at surgery and were ... -
GABAergic control of action potential propagation along axonal branches of mammalian sensory neurons
(2003-03)The main axons of mammalian sensory neurons are usually viewed as passive transmitters of sensory information. However, the spindle afferents of jaw-closing muscles behave as if action potential traffic along their central axons is phasically regulated ...
