ABSTRACT

Candida species are a normal commensal present in a large percentage of healthy individuals. Denture wearers are predisposed to the development of candidosis and to the presence of Candida spp. The presence of the yeast, even in healthy subjects, should be considered more carefully. We investigated the prevalence of Candida spp. in 112 denture wearers and 103 individuals with natural teeth, patients from the clinic of total prosthesis of the Dental School of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and from the School of Pharmacy and Dentistry of Alfenas, Brazil. Factors like gender, age over 60 years, low education, and xerostomia were directly associated with the presence of Candida yeasts at a significance level of 5% (p > 0.05). However, the major predisposing factor for the carrier state was wearing dentures (p = 0.001). Candida isolates were identified using morphological and biochemical profiles. Seventy-one isolates were identified as C. albicans (65.1%), 15 as C. glabrata (13.7%), 8 as C. parapsilosis (7.3%), 3 as C. krusei (2.7%), and 12 as C. tropicalis (11.0%). Susceptibility testing to fluconazole and itraconazole was also performed with the strains obtained. Both drugs showed a strong inhibition against most oral isolates.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue caracterizar morfológica, morfométrica y estereológicamente las alteraciones del piso de la boca de fetos de rata, provocadas por el ácido retinoico cuando es administrado en el 10º día de preñez. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el ácido retinoico actúa en la embriogénesis provocando alteraciones del desarrollo embrionario

ABSTRACT

Realizou-se uma coletânea na literatura, para a condensação teórica de algumas técnicas de preparo de dentes anteriores para coroa metalocerâmica. Com o intuito de propiciar ao dente preparado características importantes em prótese fixa, tais como retenção friccional, estabilidade, solidez estrutural e integridade marginal, procurou-se associar alguns detalhes importantes a duas técnicas operatórias mais usadas
