Evaluation of the surface damage of dental implants caused by different surgical protocols: an in vitro study

The implant surface must withstand high insertion torque during implant insertion. The aim of this study was to investigate the damage to implant surfaces caused by two different insertion protocols in vitro. Fifteen titanium implants per group were inserted in standardized polyurethane foam models, group 1 according to a non-threaded surgical protocol and group 2 according to a threaded surgical protocol. Before and after insertion, the surfaces were visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and non-contact laser profilometry. Different surface area parameters were evaluated and maximum torque during insertion was determined. SEM detected topographical changes such as deposition of the test block and smoothening of the surface in the region of the thread crests in both groups. The laser profilometry analysis revealed significant changes in the surface topography of the implants in both groups, but no differences between the groups. Insertion torque was significantly decreased in the threaded group. Both types of surgical intervention resulted in surface damage. Less damage was detected to the thread crests with the use of a thread cutter, and most of the surface was not visibly affected by the surgical protocol at the microscopic level. The surgical protocol seems to have a minor influence on preservation of the implant surface.     

A Computational Geometry Generation Method for Creating 3D Printed Composites and Porous Structures

A computational method for generating porous materials and composite structures was developed and implemented. The method is based on using 3D Voronoi cells to partition a defined space into segments. The topology of the segments can be controlled by controlling the Voronoi cell set. The geometries can be realized by additive manufacturing methods, and materials can be assigned to each segment. The geometries are generated and processed virtually. The macroscopic mechanical properties of the resulting structures can be tuned by controlling microstructural features. The method is implemented in generating porous and composite structures using polymer filaments i.e., polylactic acid (PLA), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and nylon. The geometries are realized using commercially available double nozzle fusion deposition modelling (FDM) equipment. The compressive properties of the generated porous and composite configurations are tested quasi statically. The structures are either porous of a single material or composites of two materials that are geometrically intertwined. The method is used to produce and explore promising material combinations that could otherwise be difficult to mix. It is potentially applicable with a variety of additive manufacturing methods, size scales, and materials for a range of potential applications.

Characterization of heat resistant hydraulic sealer for warm vertical obturation

ObjectiveWarm vertical compaction of gutta-percha is a technique that is used by most specialists for root canal obturation. The sealers currently available exhibit irriversible chemical changes when heated. New biologically active sealers that do not sustain irreversible changes when heated are an attractive alternative to be used with warm vertical compaction obturation technique. The aim of this study was to measure the heat generated by warm vertical compactors inside the root canal, characterize a newly developed root canal sealer at different temperatures and verify its suitability at the actual temperature window used clinically.MethodsThe typical temperatures generated by two heat carriers in a root canal were assessed by thermocouples. Two premixed root canal sealers TotalFill BC and HiFlow BC (FKG, Switzerland) were allowed to set and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) immediately after setting and by XRD after 28 days in physiological solution. The ion leaching in solution was assessed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The organic component was extracted in acetone and assessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) for both the unset sealer and sealer subjected to different temperatures. The heat profiles of both sealers were investigated by FT-IR and thermographic analysis.ResultsNone of the devices tested achieved the temperatures set on the dial. The highest temperatures were coronal followed by apical for both devices. The sealers were identical except for the vehicle. The inorganic components included tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate and zirconium oxide. No calcium hydroxide was produced by any of the sealers after immersion in physiological solution but calcium was released in solution. The chemistry of both sealers was modified when heated but both recovered when cooled.SignificanceThe heat carriers were unreliable and the heat generated inside the canal was not the same as the temperature set on the dial. Since both sealers had identical chemistry save for minimal modifications to the organic component and were both resistant to heat, TotalFill BC sealer is recommended for use with warm vertical compaction technique as it is cheaper and as effective as the HiFlow.     

注射用头孢硫脒多晶型表征方法的研究

目的通过研究头孢硫脒多晶型的有效表征方法,探索不同厂家产品的晶体特征及分类。方法本文采用NIR、FTIR、Raman、XRD、TGA和MDSC等多种技术手段,建立注射用头孢硫脒混晶特征的表征方法。结果分子光谱及成像方法揭示了注射用头孢硫脒晶型特征为混晶。NIR法能够综合反映物质的理化性质,宏观地表征并区分各制剂混晶特征的差异;XRD法能够精确表征制剂晶体特征的细微差异,而MDSC法则有效地表征混晶中的晶体及其相对关系等特征,二者结合能够在没有晶型标准品的情况下,推出各晶体的XRD特征峰信息,进一步对混晶中晶体进行定性。上述3种方法结果相互验证,互为补充。结论 NIR法可作为晶型分类的首选方法,有晶型标准品时,XRD法为晶型特征首选表征方法,无晶型标准品时可使用MDSC法结合XRD法晶体特征信息,进而实现晶型特征表征。通过对头孢硫脒制剂的晶型特征的表征,我们可以进一步探索产品的质量控制水平和稳定性等工艺信息。
