Effect of Resveratrol on Pregnancy, Prenatal Complications and Pregnancy-Associated Structure Alterations
(2023)Abstract: Adverse pregnancy outcomes are considered significant health risks for pregnant women and their offspring during pregnancy and throughout their lifespan. These outcomes lead to a perturbated in-utero environment ... -
The Effect of Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), Honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia) and Sutherlandia (Lessertia frutescens) on Testicular Insulin Signalling in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Wistar Rats
(2021)Background: Testicular insulin signalling is altered in diabetic (DM) males. While unravelling the mechanism through which DM exert these detrimental effects, studies have shown the importance of insulin regulation in ... -
The Effect of Sealer Application Methods on Voids Volume after Aging of Three Calcium Silicate-Based Sealers: A Micro Computed Tomography Study
(2022-03)Abstract: During obturation, air voids are undesirable as they may provide shelter for microorganisms or passage for fluids. This study aimed to compare the occurrence of voids between three calcium silicate-based sealers ... -
Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Solution on the Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHEDs)
(2022)Background: SDF is a solution containing silver, fluoride, and ammonia. Clinically, it is used to arrest the progression of carious lesions in primary teeth. Recent studies have shown that SDF has indirect effect on pulp ... -
Effect of sonic irrigation activation at different frequencies in smear layer removal; An in vitro experimental study
(2022)Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the vibration/oscillation frequencies of WaterPik and EndoActivator devices and their effectiveness in smear layer (SL) removal. Materials and Methods: The root ... -
The Effect of Statins on Male Reproductive Parameters: A Mechanism Involving Dysregulation of Gonadal Hormone Receptors and TRPV1
(2023)Abstract: Statins have been shown to cause diverse male reproductive function impairment, and in some cases, orchialgia. Therefore, the current study investigated the possible mechanisms through which statins may alter ... -
Effect of supine and upright positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2021)Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of supine vs upright imaging positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and methods: This retrospective study included ... -
Effect of usage and autoclaving on the cyclic fatigue resistance of heat-treated nickel-titanium instrument
(2021)Background: Nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments are often reused in endodontic treatment for economic reasons. Thus, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of these endodontic instruments are essential. Several studies ... -
The effect of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on bovine enamel and dentine
(2021)Background: Bleaching has become a popular treatment option for aesthetic management of discolored teeth. Bleaching is a conservative approach in aesthetic dentistry compared to other invasive restorative treatment ... -
Effect of Voxel Size on the Accuracy of Airway Volumetric Measurements Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(2021)Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the airway volume, dental, and skeletal parameters measured digitally on cone beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) using ... -
Effectiveness of Alcohol and Aldehyde Spray Disinfectants on Dental Impressions
(2020)Background: The gold standard for disinfection of dental impressions is by immersion although spray techniques are also available. This study compared the effectiveness of alcohol and aldehyde spray disinfectants on ... -
Effectiveness of collaborative tele-mental health care for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in United Arab Emirates
(2023)Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Accessing services for this disorder is a worldwide challenge and requires innovative interventions. Aims: We aimed to ... -
Effectiveness of extraction of primary canines for interceptive management of palatally displaced permanent canines: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2018)Background: Although extraction of primary canines in the mixed dentition has been suggested as a measure to prevent impaction of palatally displaced permanent canines (PDCs), the relevant evidence has been inconclusive ... -
