“…3,4,5 DH is an uncomfortable condition that affects function and quality of life. 6 The Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is the patient's own perception of how the state of the mouth impacts upon his or her quality psychometric properties of the adapted instrument in order to demonstrate the measurement properties needed for the intended application, such as reliability and validity. 14 Therefore, the aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the DHEQ-15 for use in the Brazilian-Portuguese language.…”

The dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is able to impair the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). However, there isn't any specific validated questionnaire to be used in Brazil. The objective was to adapt and to validate the English version of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ-15) for use in Brazil. DHEQ-15 was cross-culturally adapted into the Brazilian-Portuguese language and then validated in a cross-sectional study with 100 participants recruited at a University clinic. Study sample comprised 2 groups: 100 individuals with DH, and 100 individuals without. The instrument was self-administered twice 7 to 10 days apart. The participants answered a global rating of oral health. The psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of DHEQ-15 were verified through internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient - ICC), convergent (Spearman correlation) and discriminant (Mann-Whitney test) validity. The significance threshold was set at p<0.05. Sample comprised 69 men and 131 women, of mean age 30.4y. The Brazilian DHEQ-15 demonstrated very good internal consistency (α = 0.945). Test-retest reliability revealed excellent reproducibility (ICC = 0.959, p < 0.001). There was statistically significant correlation between the scores obtained on all DHEQ-15 domains and the global rating of oral health (p<0.001). Participants with DH scored significantly higher than those without DH (p<0.001). This study provides evidence supporting the cross-cultural validity of the Brazilian version of DHEQ-15 for use in Brazil.

“…Hydroxyapatite is widely used as a coating of metallic implants for bones in order to improve and accelerate the process of osseointegration [14, 15]. Hydroxyapatite powder plays an important role in dentistry (e.g., in the treatment of dental pulp and dentine hypersensitivity) and is associated with the exposure of dentinal tubules [16, 17]. Hydroxyapatite, present in toothpastes and dental gels, reduces the deposition of accretions on teeth.…”

Reconstructive surgery is presently struggling with the problem of infections located within implantation biomaterials. Of course, the best antibacterial protection is antibiotic therapy. However, oral antibiotic therapy is sometimes ineffective, while administering an antibiotic at the location of infection is often associated with an unfavourable ratio of dosage efficiency and toxic effect. Thus, the present study aims to find a new factor which may improve antibacterial activity while also presenting low toxicity to the human cells. Such factors are usually implemented along with the implant itself and may be an integral part of it. Many recent studies have focused on inorganic factors, such as metal nanoparticles, salts, and metal oxides. The advantages of inorganic factors include the ease with which they can be combined with ceramic and polymeric biomaterials. The following review focuses on hydroxyapatites substituted with ions with antibacterial properties. It considers materials that have already been applied in regenerative medicine (e.g., hydroxyapatites with silver ions) and those that are only at the preliminary stage of research and which could potentially be used in implantology or dentistry. We present methods for the synthesis of modified apatites and the antibacterial mechanisms of various ions as well as their antibacterial efficiency.

“…The search for a natural desensitizing agent with long lasting effects has led to the observation that Propolis had promising effects on dentin hypersensitivity (6,12) . Also, it was observed that propolis has an anti-inflammatory action; it stimulates reparative dentin formation which would be able to reduce dentin permeability.…”

Objectives:-This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and laboratory effect of three different treatment modalities in management of dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and methods: one hundred-twenty samples were used in the study procedures, for dentin permeability test and Scanning Electron Microscopic examination (SEM). The samples were randomly divided into two groups Group A 1 , totally removed smear layer Group A 2 , partially removed smear layer. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups according to the treatment agent applied: ammonium hexafluorosilicate (SiF) gel, propolis extract, Curodont D'senz and the control group that were left untreated. One hundred and five (105) hypersensitive teeth were enrolled for this study. The subjective assessment of dentin hypersensitivity was done before application of the agent (baseline) then immediate, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months respectively. Patients were asked to rate their perception to tactile, air and cold stimuli by using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: Permeability results revealed that there were high statistical significant difference between the study groups with lowest statistically significant mean depth of dye penetration values were found with propolis treated samples. The results of the clinical study revealed that there was high significant difference between pain scores before and after treatment for all tested groups. Conclusion: Propolis extract, Curodont D'senz and SiF gel were effective in reducing dentin permeability, occluding dentinal tubules and alleviating the hypersensitivity symptoms, with propolis extract paste being the most effective within 1 to 2 weeks and sustained up to 3 months.
