In this study--a preliminary case series with small sample size and short follow-up--the adjunctive use of chlorhexidine (CHX) to SRP resulted in clinical and microbiological benefits in the treatment for generalized chronic periodontitis. A CHX gel formulation consisting of CHX digluconate and CHX dihydrochloride seems to lead some additional benefits over SRP plus CHX gluconate in the short term. Additional investigations are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this antiseptic therapy.
Key Clinical MessageTooth bleaching is a widespread dental treatment with important psychosocial antecedents and outcomes involved. In the activation of in‐office bleaching agents, a selective light radiation, that is, a diode laser seems to be a positive choice to decrease the time of bleaching without surface modification and with no residual tooth sensitivity for maximum effect and minimal clinical and psychological side effects.
La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras instalará el Primer Observatorio Magnético de Honduras, para capturar las fuentes naturales del vector de campo magnético local. Proponemos una metodología para analizar sus datos, comparándolos con datos de observatorios cercanos, con el Modelo de Campo Geomagnético de Referencia Internacional, con el modelo semi-empírico de magnetosfera terrestre de Tsyganenko, N. y Sitnov, M., 2005. La componente geomagnética local horizontal (H−) es calculada para las coordenadas del Observatorio Astronómico Centroamericano de Suyapa, Tegucigalpa, Honduras (TEG-HTSY ), en el intervalo temporal 2010 – 2013, utilizando los modelos. Para el mismo intervalo temporal, se extrae la componente H− local del Observatorio Chiripa, Costa Rica (CRP-H), y su variación diaria en días calmos (Sq-H), empleando los días calmos internacionales. Se calculan los coeficientes de correlación de Pearson entre TEG-HTSY y CRP−H. Las mejores correlaciones se obtienen en días con índice planetario Kp < 4, cuando Sq-H y la variación diurna son removidas de CRP-H y de TEG-HTSY , respectivamente. Un modelo (NOCSq) es elaborado a partir del Sq-H de Chiripa, empleando funciones ortogonales empíricas (EOF). Al proyectar sobre los EOF las matrices de corrientes magnetosféricas de Tegucigalpa en días calmos, estas representan porcentajes considerables de los EOF, en el intervalo 12,00 – 24,00 hora local.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
