Porphyromonas gingivalis is a pathogenic bacterium that has a significant role in the progression of chronic periodontal disease. The cell-surface proteases RgpA, RgpB and Kgp collectively known as the gingipains, are major ...

Accurate quantification of mandibular morphological changes is important for orthodontic treatment planning and forensic applications. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cephalometrics are limited to linear distances or ...

Half of all Australians will experience a common mental illness during their lifetime. There is strong evidence that people living with mental illness, particularly those living with severe mental illness, experience poor ...

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory, bacterial biofilm-associated disease resulting in destruction of the tooth’s supporting tissues. The imminent progression of chronic periodontitis can be predicted by the levels ...

Purpose: To study a clinically convenient sample type, oral swirls as a source of microRNA for analysis in oral disease states. Objectives: To study a panel of OSCC-associated microRNA, identified in next generation ...

Children in Cambodia have a severe burden of caries and data from the Cambodian national oral health survey reflect that four in five 6-year-old children have one or more pulpally involved teeth. One of the key features ...

A horizontally oriented rectangular block implant (RBI) is proposed: - maximizing the use of the resorbed posterior ridge length and qualifying as a “short” implant, with a surface area equivalent to that of longer cylindrical ...

The Minamata Convention on Mercury has committed to a reduction and ultimate elimination in the production and use of mercury containing products. Any consequent 'phase-down' of dental amalgam will change the practice of ...

Purpose: Biomarkers can be used to predict the incidence or outcome of disease. Currently there are no established biomarkers for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Identification of these markers and molecular profiles ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a non-motile, Gram-negative coccobacillus, oral anaerobe that is implicated in chronic periodontitis, a polymicrobial inflammatory disease resulting in the destruction of the supporting tissues ...
