For å bedre den orale helsen hos utsatte individer, samt tilby et bredere utvalg av forebyggende behandlingsmetoder, kan nanoteknologi muligens være med på å forme en fremtidig forebyggende behandling innenfor odontologien ...

Background In streptococci of the mitis group, competence for natural transformation is a transient physiological state triggered by competence stimulating peptides (CSPs). Although low transformation yields ...

Introduction: Bacterial contamination of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by needle penetration of the skin has previously been discussed as a contributing factor in joint arthritis. The purpose of this study was to ...

Sammendrag Mens resistensutvikling etter bruk av antibiotika er velkjent, i rask utvikling og beskrevet som et stort miljø- og medisinsk problem, er resistens mot andre antimikrobielle midler, Metronidazol, antiseptika og ...

The lack of knowledge regarding the long-term effect of retention on anterior tooth alignment provided much of the motivation for this research project. Further, the work would give information about long-term outcome of ...
