The increasing incidence of cases of maxillary osteonecrosis (ONM) has become a concern among health professionals. Its main causes are related to the inhibition of bone remodeling due to osteoclast dysfunction, dysregulated inflammatory processes associated with local infection and impaired angiogenesis. This condition is usually initiated after dental interventions (exodontia and/or imp…
Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug that has already demonstrated in vitro antimicrobial action against some species of microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus. Its mechanism of action as a lipid-lowering agent occurs by inhibiting the enzyme HMGCoA-reductase I in the pathway of mevalonate production in eukaryotic cells, whereas its mechanism of antimicrobial action is stil…
Nosocomial infections and infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria are major concern worldwide and considered sources causing numerous cases of morbidity and mortality. Given this scenario, the search for new products that are able to effectively combat the major etiologic agents involved in nosocomial infections, bacteremia and sepsis, is required. Recent studies have shown that…

Contamination of products by species of the Burkholderia cepacia (Bcc) complex has become a concern in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. Although traditional chemical preservatives prevent microbial growth, their safety and toxicity has been questioned. Thus, the use of cosmetics without traditional preservatives, or preservative free, has been sought as an alternative, where mul…
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important etiological agents in community-acquired nosocomial infections. This bacteria produces several virulence factors, including biofilm formation ability, which make difficult to treat infections, especially those from medical devices. Statins are one of the most prescribed drugs in the world and its effects go beyond lipid-lowering drugs, ca…
Changes in the surfaces of implants have been performed in order to improve their osseointegration and integration with the soft tissues. These changes may alter the topography, free energy, wettability, chemical composition, characteristics that may in turn influence both on cell adhesion as well as bacterial adhesion. Recently, nanotopography were evaluated for the ability to osseointeg…
