In dentistry, there is growing interest in understanding the relationship between the inflammatory response and bone metabolism, especially regarding chronic and infectious diseases. The exploration of possible interactions between oral and systemic health has been shown to be relevant for enabling the understanding of modulators of the inflammatory process, such as the renin-angiotensin …
Equisetum giganteum L. (E. giganteum), Equisetaceae, commonly called "giant horsetail", is an endemic plant of Central and South America, and is used in traditional medicine as diuretic, hemostatic, urinary disorders, inflammatory conditions and among other applications. The chemical composition of the extract EtOH 70% of E. giganteum has shown a clear presence of phenolic compounds der…
Candida albicans are commensal organisms that usually do not cause any apparent damage. However, this fungus becomes pathogenic microorganism under certain predispositions. This fungus is related to an inflammatory reaction of the palatal mucosa in users of denture, known as denture stomatitis.

This study will evaluate in vitro if the phytotherapeutic drug Punica granatum Linné, which affects the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), also has some influence on the immunopathological mechanisms triggered in candidoses, especially in the most frequent form of oral candidiasis, denture stomatitis. Specifically, this study aims to evaluate in vitro whether the phytotherapeutic mentioned, …
This study intends to evaluate in vitro if the drugs Alisquirene, Losartan and Punica granatum, that interfere in the renin-angiotensin system, also present antimicrobial action against biofilms of Candida albicans, and alter the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). Antimicrobial analysis will be performed by means of XTT reduction reduction assay, allowing the determination of …
About 15,490 new cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are estimated for 2016/2017 in Brazil. Considering the first-line treatment, about 50% of over 40 thousand cases studied in this country in 2012 were predicted to have recurrence or metastasis, with a median overall survival around 10 months. Recently, the so-called tumor initiating cells or cancer stem cells (CSC) ha…
