• Valg av suturmateriale ved oralkirurgiske inngrep 

      Gåskjønli, Randi Pauline; Kloster, Elisa Beate (Master thesis, 2012-01-30)
      Suturer spiller en viktig rolle ved sårtilheling. De lukker og stabiliserer sårflater som er separert kirurgisk eller aksidentelt ved traumer, fremmer primær tilheling, og er med på å kontrollere blødning. Ved søk ble det ...
    • Validity and reliability of OIDP and OHIP-14: a survey of Chinese high school students 

      Hongxing, Li; List, Thomas; Nilsson, Ing-Marie; Johansson, Anders; Åstrøm, Anne Nordrehaug (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-19)
      Background: To determine the impact of oral diseases on everyday life, measures of oral quality of life are needed. In complementing traditional disease-based measures, they assess the need for oral care to evaluate oral ...
    • Vascularization and Host Response in Bone Tissue Engineering 

      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma (Doctoral thesis, 2016-12-07)
      The major hurdle in the survival of a tissue-engineered construct after implantation is vascularization. Pre-vascularization is one of the proposed methods to achieve vascularization in tissue-engineered constructs. This ...
    • Vekstfaktorer frigitt fra mesenchymale stamceller og sårtilheling 

      Lie, Karoline Haugen; Arnesen, Camilla Heyerdahl (Master thesis, 2018-03-08)
      Background: In light of current research, it may seem that the biggest part of stem cells effect on wound healing is because of the growth factors the stem cells secretes. The mechanisms and effects conditioned medium from ...
    • Vitamin D, oral health, and disease characteristics in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a multicenter cross-sectional study 

      Cetrelli, Lena Elisabet; Bletsa, Athanasia; Lundestad, Anette; Gil, Elisabeth Grut; Fischer, Johannes Maria; Halbig, Josefine Mareile; Frid, Paula Hanna Therese; Angenete, Oskar W; Lien, Ingrid Lillevoll; Rosén, Annika; Tylleskär, Karin; Luukko, Keijo; Nordal, Ellen Berit; Åstrøm, Anne-Kristine N; Skeie, Marit Slåttelid; Feuerherm, Astrid Jullumstrø; Sen, Abhijit; Rygg, Marite (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with autoimmune diseases and oral health. Knowledge about the association between vitamin D status and oral conditions in JIA is limited. We aimed to investigate vitamin ...
    • Water sorption and solubility of polyamide denture base materials 

      Nguyen, Long Giang; Kopperud, Hilde Beate M.; Øilo, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Purpose: Some patients experience adverse reactions to poly(methyl methacrylate)-based (PMMA) dentures. Polyamide (PA) as an alternative to PMMA has, however, not been well documented with regard to water sorption and water ...
    • X-ray microanalytical studies of initial mineralization in induced heterotopic bone formation in guinea pigs 

      Johannessen, Anne Christine; Nilsen, Rune; Bang, G. (Acta odontologica Scandinavica 39(4):217-26, Journal article, 1981)
      Allogenic demineralized dentin implanted in the abdominal wall of guinea pigs induced heterotopic osteoid and bone formation. Samples of this tissue were frozen at -140° C, freeze-dried at -80° C, infiltrated with Spurr® ...
    • Xeno-free 3D Culture of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells For Bone Tissue Engineering 

      Shanbhag, Siddharth (Doctoral thesis, 2020)
      Clinical translation of innovative regenerative approaches using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is urgently needed for the treatment of challenging bone defects. The overall aim of this thesis, comprising of one systematic ...
    • Xeno-free generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from donor-matched fibroblasts isolated from dermal and oral tissues 

      Ali, Hassan Abdel-Raouf Abdel-Wahab; Suliman, Salwa; Osman, Tarig Al-Hadi; Carrasco Fernandez, Manuel; Bruland, Ove; Costea, Daniela Elena; Ræder, Helge; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Elnour (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) can be generated from various somatic cells and can subsequently be differentiated to multiple cell types of the body. This makes them highly promising for cellular therapy ...
    • Xeno-free spheroids of human gingiva-derived progenitor cells for bone tissue engineering 

      Shanbhag, Siddharth; Suliman, Salwa; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Stavropoulos, Andreas; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Gingiva has been identified as a minimally invasive source of multipotent progenitor cells (GPCs) for use in bone tissue engineering (BTE). To facilitate clinical translation, it is important to characterize GPCs in xeno-free ...
    • Xerostomia in 75–85-year-olds: A longitudinal population study
