Structural and interfacial adhesion elements of indirect fiber-reinforsed composite fixed dental prostheses
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-03)
Crowns and fixed dental prostheses (FDP) of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) have opened the potential for fabrication of metal-free dental restorations with direct and indirect techniques. Although direct FRC restorations ...
Towards enhancing the durability and strength of dentin-resin bond : the role of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an alternative solvent in dental adhesives
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-12-13)
One of the main goals in adhesive dentistry is the preservation of the hybrid layer, a unique biological composite layer, formed by the impregnation of collagen fibrils in the dentin structure with adhesive resin. Different ...
Discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite for dental reconstructions - Studies of the fracture resistance and the mechanical properties of the material used for extensive direct restorations
(Annales Universitatis Turkuensis D 1261Turun yliopisto, 2016-12-09)
Earlier developed low aspect ratio dental discontinuous-FRC are micrometer-scale discontinuous-FRCs, which lack sufficient strength and fracture toughness to reinforce structures reinforced with them. The aim of this thesis ...
Human papillomavirus infection and bacterial microbiota in women and infants − with special reference to malignancy
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-05-08)
The human body harbours a diverse microbiota, which may have beneficial or detrimental effects on health. Bacteria can protect the body against viral infection or predispose the host to it. In addition, viruses and bacteria ...

Effects of human papillomavirus-specific immunity on the outcome of HPV infections in women
(Annales Universitatis Turkuensis D 1251Turun yliopisto, 2016-10-14)
The host’s inadequate HPV-specific cell-mediated immune system might be crucial in HPV-specific tumor development.
This thesis is part of the longitudinal Finnish Family HPV Study and is focused on HPV16-specific ...
Fluoride as a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor in dentin
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-05-23)
Proteolytic degradation of demineralized dentin occurs due to the catalytic activity of dentin matrix-bound matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs). This degradation process takes role in the progression ...
Impacts of a national recommendation on the sale of sweet products in Finnish schools – school-level factors and oral health inequalities
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-18)
The objective was to find out 1) if the national recommendation has had any effect on schools’ oral health-promoting actions, 2a) whether the school-level intermediary determinants were associated with the school-level ...
Impact of estradiol and quorum sensing on biofilm-related virulence of the Prevotella intermedia group: – in vitro studies on bacterial growth properties, proteolytic enzyme activity and cytokine production
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-04-04)
The Prevotella intermedia group organisms (P. intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Prevotella pallens, and Prevotella aurantiaca) are Gram-negative anaerobes predominantly existing in the human oral cavity. P. intermedia and ...
