Objectives: To evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine incorporation on the surface free energy and microtensile bond strength of three reline acrylic resins, after chemical aging. Methods: For each of the studies, six experimental groups were set according to reline resin and chlorhexidine incorporation [Kooliner &nda...
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine incorporation on the microhardness and flexural strength of three reline acrylic resins, after a 28-day chemical aging process. Methods: Forty-eight specimens were fabricated according to the several possible combinations of acrylic reline resin and concentrations ...
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine loading in microhardness and flexural strength of acrylic reline resins, after thermal aging. Methods: Several concentrations of chlorhexidine were selected to load three acrylic reline resins: 1%, 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% in Kooliner, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% in Ufi G...
Aim: To characterize recurrent aphthous stomatitis in a young population and investigate the association between these lesions and predisposing factors, as well as potential modifications in children’s daily routines. Methods: The data was collected by delivering a questionnaire to students attending S. Miguel...
A Estomatite Protética (EP) afecta quase metade da população portuguesa portadora de prótese removível superior e está claramente associada à infecção por fungos. Atendendo a esta prevalência, torna-se importante entender os factores predisponentes que lhe est&at...
