Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of periodontal disease on quality of life: a systematic review
M. C. Ferreira,A. C. Dias-Pereira,Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Carolina Castro Martins,Saul Martins Paiva +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that periodontal disease may exert an impact on quality of life of individuals, with greater severity of the disease related to greater impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluoxetine Inhibits Inflammatory Response and Bone Loss in a Rat Model of Ligature-Induced Periodontitis
Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Gilson Cesar Nobre Franco,Myrella Lessio Castro,Juliana Guimarães dos Santos,Ana Lia Anbinder,Sheila Cavalca Cortelli,Mikihito Kajiya,Mikihito Kajiya,Toshihisa Kawai,Toshihisa Kawai,Pedro Luiz Rosalen +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fluoxetine suppresses the inflammatory response and protects against periodontal bone resorption and destruction of collagen fibers, suggesting that flu oxetine can constitute a promising therapeutic approach forperiodontal diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans biofilm accumulation and development of dental caries in vivo by 7-epiclusianone and fluoride
Ramiro Mendonça Murata,Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Eliane Melo Franco,Regiane Yatsuda,Marcelo Henrique dos Santos,Severino Matias de Alencar,Hyun Koo,Pedro Luiz Rosalen +7 more
TL;DR: The data show that 7-epiclusianone is a novel and effective antibiofilm/anticaries agent, which may enhance the cariostatic properties of fluoride.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors attenuate the antigen presentation from dendritic cells to effector T lymphocytes
Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Mikihito Kajiya,Mikihito Kajiya,Cristina Ribeiro de Barros Cardoso,Marcelo José Barbosa Silva,Kouji Ohta,Kouji Ohta,Pedro Luiz Rosalen,Gilson Cesar Nobre Franco,Xiaozhe Han,Martin A. Taubman,Toshihisa Kawai,Toshihisa Kawai +13 more
TL;DR: Results suggested that Fluoxetine suppressed the ability of DCs to present bacterial antigens to T cells, and the resulting T-cell proliferation, in a SERT/5-HT-independent manner and that diminished expression of ICOS-L on DCs and increase of CD86(Low) immature DCs caused by FluoxETine might be partially associated with Fluoxettine-mediated suppression of DC/T-cell responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of 7-Epiclusianone on Streptococcus mutans and Caries Development in Rats
Luciana Salles Branco-de-Almeida,Ramiro Mendonça Murata,Eliane Melo Franco,Marcelo Henrique dos Santos,Severino Matias de Alencar,Hyun Koo,Pedro Luiz Rosalen +6 more
TL;DR: The natural compound 7-epiclusianone may be a potentially novel pharmacological agent to prevent and control dental caries disease.
