Statement of problem

Several studies have shown the superiority of computer-assisted design and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology compared with conventional casting. However, an advanced technology exists for casting procedures (the overcasting technique), which may serve as an acceptable and affordable alternative to CAD-CAM technology for fabricating 3-unit implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs).

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using quantitative photoelastic analysis, the effect of the prosthetic framework fabrication method (CAD-CAM and overcasting) on the marginal fit and stress transmitted to implants. The correlation between marginal fit and stress was also investigated.

Material and methods

Three-unit implant-supported FDP frameworks were made using the CAD-CAM (n=10) and overcasting (n=10) methods. The frameworks were waxed to simulate a mandibular first premolar (PM region) to first molar (M region) FDP using overcast mini-abutment cylinders. The wax patterns were overcast (overcast experimental group) or scanned to obtain the frameworks (CAD-CAM control group). All frameworks were fabricated from cobalt-chromium (CoCr) alloy. The marginal fit was analyzed according to the single-screw test protocol, obtaining an average value for each region (M and PM) and each framework. The frameworks were tightened for the photoelastic model with standardized 10-Ncm torque. Stress was measured by quantitative photoelastic analysis. The results were submitted to the Student t test, 2-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation test (α=.05).

Results

The framework fabrication method (FM) and evaluation site (ES; M and PM regions) did not affect the marginal fit values (P=.559 for FM and P=.065 for ES) and stress (P=.685 for FM and P=.468 for ES) in the implant-supported system. Positive correlations between marginal fit and stress were observed (CAD-CAM: r=0.922; P<.001; overcast: r=0.908; P<.001).

Conclusions

CAD-CAM and overcasting methods present similar marginal fit and stress values for 3-unit FDP frameworks. The decreased marginal fit of frameworks induces greater stress in the implant-supported system.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of clinical characteristics and IL4 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2227284 and rs2243268) with orthodontic mini-implant (MI) failure. The sample included 135 subjects of both sexes, mean age 48.7 ± 10 years (range 20–76 years): 104 in the control group (patients without any MI loss) and 31 in the study group (patients presenting ≥1 MI loss). Genotypes were determined by real-time PCR. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed (P < 0.05). No association was found between the selected tag SNPs and MI loss. The C allele of the IL4 rs2243268 polymorphism in the recessive model was more frequent in patients who had fewer MIs installed (≤2 vs. >2; P = 0.043, odds ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.58–0.74). On multivariate analysis, smoking habit was significantly associated with the group with multiple MIs installed (P = 0.036), however the significance of the association with rs2243268 was not maintained. No association was found between the socio-demographic, smoking, or genetic factors studied and MI loss. This study supports the interaction between host and environmental factors and its influence on susceptibility to orthodontic MI failure.  相似文献

Statement of problem

A major issue related to the failure of endodontically treated teeth restored with an intraradicular post is gradual debonding of the glass fiber post, resin cement, and dentin.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of laser irradiation on the push-out bond strength of glass fiber posts to radicular dentin.

Material and methods

Thirty-two mandibular bovine incisors were endodontically treated and divided into 4 groups according to the surface treatment of the post: silane control (GC); irradiation with Er:YAG (GYAG); irradiation with Er,Cr:YSGG (GCR); and 980-nm diode laser (GDI) application. After surface treatment, the glass fiber posts were cemented with dual adhesive resin cement. To evaluate bond strength, the specimens were subjected to a push-out test at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min using a universal testing machine. Failure mode was analyzed using stereomicroscopy. The surface morphology was evaluated qualitatively after surface treatment by using confocal laser microscopy. The push-out test data (MPa) were analyzed using a linear mixed effects model and the Bonferroni test (α=.05).

Results

At the cervical third, no significant differences were observed between the GC and GCR groups (P=1.00), and both of the groups exhibited higher bond strength. At the middle and apical thirds, the GCR group revealed higher bond strength, which was significantly different from that observed in all other groups (P<.05). No statistical differences were observed among the other tested protocols (GC, GYAG, and GDI groups; P=1.00). Adhesive failure was predominant in all groups.

Conclusions

Irradiation with Er,Cr:YSGG improved the bond strength of the cement-post-dentin interfaces.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Improved stability of the adhesive interface can be obtained using crosslinkers. However, research on the use of crosslinkers in root dentin is lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of crosslinkers on the proteolytic activity of root dentin and on the bond strength of resin-cemented fiber posts.

Material and methods

Single root canals were obtained from premolars (n=48) and endodontically treated before being divided into 4 groups: deionized water (control), 0.5 mol/L carbodiimide, 5% proanthocyanidin, or 5% glutaraldehyde. After removing the canal sealer, the dentin was etched with phosphoric acid, followed by water rinsing and the application of the crosslinkers for 60 seconds. Fiber posts were cemented using an adhesive (Single Bond 2) and resin cement (RelyX ARC). The roots were then transversally sectioned to obtain 1 mm thick specimens from the cervical, middle, and apical thirds and then aged for 24 hours or 9 months. Nine roots per group were used for the push-out test and 3 for determining the proteolytic activity of the root dentin by in situ zymography. Bond strength data were submitted to a mixed-model ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (α=.05).

Results

Only proanthocyanidin negatively affected the 24-hour bond strength. After 9 months, a significant decrease in bond strength was seen for all groups, except for the crosslinked treated specimens from the cervical third of the root canal. Intense gelatinolytic activity was detected in the control group after 24 hours but was inhibited in the crosslinker-treated groups. Proteolytic activity was also not detected after 9 months for the groups treated with the crosslinkers, irrespective of the root canal third. Conversely, proteolytic activity increased for the specimens from the control group.

Conclusions

Although no proteolytic activity was detected in the hybrid layers along the entire root canal, dentin biomodification with crosslinkers was effective in preventing bond strength loss only in the cervical third.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Mandibular fixed complete-arch dental prostheses on dental implants have been benefiting patients for a long time, but problems with passive fitting between the metallic framework of the prostheses and the implants might influence its long-term success.

Purpose

The purpose of this cross-sectional study of immediately loaded mandibular fixed complete-arch dental prostheses was to evaluate the survival and success rates of prostheses, the survival rates of dental implants, the occurrence of complications in the prostheses and implants, participant satisfaction, and the association between cantilever length and prosthesis complications.

Material and methods

Data were collected from the participants’ records. The exposure variables were participant related (sex and age) and treatment related (number of implants and length of cantilever). The outcome variables were the survival and success of the prostheses and implants, complications, and participant satisfaction. The Fisher or chi-square tests was used for the association between 2 qualitative variables (α=.05).

Results

Two hundred ninety consecutive participants (1429 implants) with a mean follow-up time of 4.4 years were included. The survival rate for the prostheses was 98.6 and the success rate was 96.6%. The implant survival rate was 99.6%. Sixty-seven participants experienced a prosthetic complication, the most common being tooth fracture. Only 2.45% (n=35) of the implants were associated with screw loosening. Of the total number of participants, 86.9% were completely satisfied with their treatment. The length of the cantilever (up to 25 mm) was not associated with complications (P>.05).

Conclusions

Implant-supported mandibular fixed complete-arch dental prostheses fabricated with a passive fit technique provide successful treatment for patients with edentulism. The success and survival rates of implants and prostheses were high. Only straightforward complications were observed. Cantilever length was not associated with complications.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Although craniofacial implants have been used for retention of facial prostheses, failures are common. Titanium undergoes corrosion in the oral cavity, but the corrosion of craniofacial implants requires evaluation.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the corrosion stability of commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) exposed to simulated human perspiration at 2 different pH levels (5.5 and 8).

Material and methods

Fifteen titanium disks were divided into 3 groups (n=5 per group). The control group was subjected to simulated body fluid (SBF) (control). Disks from the 2 experimental groups were immersed in simulated alkaline perspiration (SAKP) and simulated acidic perspiration (SACP). Electrochemical tests, including open circuit potential (3600 seconds), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic tests were performed according to the standardized method of 3-cell electrodes. Data were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey honestly significant difference tests (α=.05).

Results

Simulated human perspiration reduced the corrosion stability of CP Ti (P<.05). The SBF group presented the lowest capacitance values (P<.05). SAKP and SACP groups showed increased values of capacitance and showed no statistically significant differences (P>.05) from each other. The increase in capacitance suggests that the acceleration of the ionic exchanges between the CP Ti and the electrolyte leads to a lower corrosion resistance. SAKP reduced the oxide layer resistance of CP Ti (P<.05), and an increased corrosion rate was noted in both simulated human perspiration groups.

Conclusions

Craniofacial implants can corrode when in contact with simulated human perspiration, whereas alkaline perspiration shows a more deleterious effect. Perspiration induces a more corrosive effect than simulated body fluid.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Currently, which type of suprastructure is preferred when fabricating implant-retained craniofacial prostheses is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the best retention system (bar-clips versus magnets) for implant-retained craniofacial prostheses.

Material and methods

This systematic review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A systematic search of Medline/PubMed and Web of Science databases for clinical trials was conducted on implant-retained craniofacial prostheses published between 2005 and 2015. English-language studies that directly compared different types of retention systems or presented information on implant survival, periimplant soft tissue reactions, and prosthetic complications were included. Nonclinical studies were excluded to eliminate bias.

Results

A total to 173 studies were identified, of which 10 satisfied the inclusion criteria. In total, 492 participants were included in these studies. Four selected studies displayed detailed information with regard to the number of implant failures according to the retention system. As reported, 29 (18.2%) of 159 implants with magnets failed, whereas 25 (31.6%) of 79 implants with bars failed. Overall auricular superstructures showed the highest survival (99.08%). In addition, 55.4% of all participants in the selected studies showed grade 0 of periimplant soft tissue reactions.

Conclusions

A systematic search for clinical studies resulted in few studies with a short-term follow-up and small number of participants. The limited data collected indicated that magnets show fewer complications than bar superstructures; however, no hard conclusions could be drawn. Further research, preferably in the form of clinical trials, is needed to validate these findings.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Spark erosion is a fit corrective technology that can be used even after the veneering material has been applied. The framework does not require sectioning, thus preserving its mechanical resistance. However, the spark erosion effect on veneered Co-Cr fixed complete denture (FCD) frameworks has not been investigated.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether spark erosion is effective in improving marginal fit on screw-retained Co-Cr FCD frameworks veneered with different materials. A comparison between ceramic applications and simulated ceramic firing cycles was also investigated.

Material and methods

Forty FCD frameworks were fabricated with a Co-Cr alloy. Four groups (n=10) were obtained according to the veneer material used on frameworks: HR (heat-polymerized resin); LR (light-polymerized resin); C (ceramic); and SC (simulated ceramic firing cycle). The spark erosion process was conducted for all groups. The marginal fit was analyzed according to the single-screw test protocol, and the measurements were performed at 3 evaluation times: initial, after veneer material application, and after spark erosion process. The results were submitted to a 2-way repeated measures ANOVA and the Tukey honest significant differences test (α=.05).

Results

Poorer marginal fit (in micrometers) was noted after veneer material application, where the HR and C groups presented the worst values (HR: 170; LR: 72; C: 165; SC: 86; P<.05). The spark erosion process was effective in improving the fit for all groups (HR: 109; LR: 52; C: 110; SC: 60; P<.05).

Conclusions

Spark erosion improved the fit of Co-Cr FCD frameworks veneered with different materials. An actual ceramic application should be used to assess distortions generated by veneer material application instead of using only simulated ceramic firing cycles.  相似文献

Harmony among the teeth, lips, and facial components is the goal of prosthodontic treatment, whether performed by conventional or digital workflow methods. This clinical report describes a facial approach to planning computer-guided surgery and immediate computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) interim complete-arch fixed dental prostheses on immediately placed dental implants with a digital workflow. A single clinical appointment for data collection included dentofacial documentation with photographs and videos. On these photographs, facial reference lines were drawn to create a smile frame. This digital smile design and sagittal cephalometric analysis were merged with 3-dimensional scanned casts and a cone beam computed tomographic file in virtual planning software, thus guiding virtual waxing and implant positioning. Computer-guided implant surgery and CAD-CAM interim dental prostheses allowed esthetic and functional rehabilitation in a predictable manner and integrated with the patient’s face.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The decision to splint or to restore independently generally occurs during the planning stage, when the advantages and disadvantages of each clinical situation are considered based on the proposed treatment. However, clinical evidence to help clinicians make this decision is lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the marginal bone loss, implant survival rate, and prosthetic complications of splinted and nonsplinted implant restorations.

Material and methods

This study was designed according to the Cochrane criteria for elaborating a systematic review and meta-analysis and adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Also, this review was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42017080162). An electronic search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases was conducted up to November 2017. A specific clinical question was structured according to the population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) approach. The addressed focused question was “Should the restoration of adjacent implants be splinted or nonsplinted?” The meta-analysis was based on the Mantel-Haenszel and inverse variance methods to assess the marginal bone loss, implant survival, and prosthetic complications of splinted and nonsplinted implant restorations.

Results

Nineteen studies were selected for qualitative and quantitative analyses. A total of 4215 implants were placed in 2185 patients (splinted, 2768; nonsplinted, 1447); the mean follow-up was 87.8 months (range=12-264 months). Quantitative analysis found no significant differences between splinted and nonsplinted restorations for marginal bone loss. The assessed studies reported that 75 implants failed (3.4%), of which 24 were splinted (99.1% of survival rate) and 51 were nonsplinted (96.5% of survival rate). Quantitative analysis of all studies showed statistically significant higher survival rates for splinted restorations than for nonsplinted restorations. Ceramic chipping, screw loosening, abutment screw breakage, and soft tissue inflammation were reported in the selected studies. The quantitative analysis found no statistically significant difference in the prosthetic complications of splinted and nonsplinted restorations.

Conclusions

Within the limitations of this systematic review and meta-analysis, it was concluded that there was no difference in the marginal bone loss and prosthetic complications of splinted and nonsplinted implant restorations; this is especially true for restorations in the posterior region. However, splinted restorations were associated with decreased implant failure.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Glass-ceramic materials are typically treated with hydrofluoric acid (HF) and silane to improve their bond to composite resin; however, HF may be harmful to human tissues and the integrity of the material, and its application is a technique-sensitive procedure. A novel self-etching ceramic primer has been introduced with the claim that it can solve those problems. However, independent scientific evidence regarding its performance is scarce.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of self-etching silane primer on glass-ceramic surface roughness and on long-term bonding between glass-ceramic and composite resin cement.

Material and methods

Plates of 3 materials (n=10), lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDC) (IPS e.max CAD), leucite-based glass-ceramic (LEU) (IPS Empress CAD), and resin-modified ceramic (PIC) (VITA ENAMIC), were treated in the following ways: no treatment (C), HF (5%) applied during the recommended time for each material (HF), and self-etching ceramic primer (Monobond Etch & Prime [MBEP]). Surface roughness (Sa) was analyzed with a laser 3D profiler. Ceramic sticks were subjected to (n=20) no treatment (C); treatment with hydrofluoric acid plus silane (HF+S); and treatment with self-etching ceramic primer (MBEP) bonded to prepolymerized composite resin sticks with composite resin cement (Variolink II) and stored for 24 hours and 1 year (n=10). The assemblies were submitted to microtensile bond strength testing (μTBS). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and the Tukey pairwise, post hoc test (α=.05). Failure pattern and surface and interface morphology were assessed using scanning electron microscopy.

Results

Only individual factors resulted in statistically significant differences for both variables (material: P<.001; surface treatment: P=.020), interaction (P=.570). HF group (0.49 ±0.11 μm) showed statistically higher roughness values (P≤.05) than control groups (0.44 ±0.97 μm), while MBEP (0.48 ±0.11 μm) was comparable with both. HF produced greater surface alterations than MBEP and C. PIC (0.60 ±0.051 μm) exhibited significantly higher roughness values (P≤.05) than LDC (0.37 ±0.07 μm) and LEU (0.45 ±0.04). Regarding μTBS, the general mean of PIC (24.6 ±10.1 MPa) was higher (P≤.05) than LEUs (14.7 ±6.7 MPa) and LDCs (13.1 ±4.8 MPa), while treatment groups HF+S (17.9 ±10.0 MPa) and MBEP (20.5 ±9.7 MPa) produced higher μTBS values than control groups (14.2 ±5.5 MPa). Adhesive failure was associated with low μTBS values and aged specimens, while cohesive failure within the composite resin-cement layer and mixed failures were associated with higher μTBS values. Interface debonding was detected in C groups for LDC and LEU. PIC exhibited better interface stability.

Conclusions

MBEP produced smoother surfaces than HF. HF+S and MBEP significantly improved ceramic and composite resin cement bonding.  相似文献

This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary approach to treat a patient with edentulism and a severe anatomic defect in the mandible caused by a gunshot injury by using an implant-fixed complete dental prosthesis. An immediate loading interim implant-fixed complete dental prosthesis in the mandible associated with a maxillary removable complete denture prosthesis was initially provided to restore the intermaxillary relation. Nasal floor elevation and maxillary sinus augmentation were subsequently performed to increase the maxillary bone volume. Definitive implant-fixed complete dental prostheses were placed in both arches in order to rehabilitate this initially compromised anatomic condition, which ensured patient satisfaction and improvement in masticatory function and esthetics.  相似文献

Statement of problemA consensus regarding the effects of platform switching on peri-implant marginal bone levels is lacking. Finite element studies have reported contradictory results.PurposeThe purpose of this finite element analysis study was to evaluate stress distribution in platform-switched (PS) and platform-matched (PM) implants and their surrounding bone.Material and methodsAn implant (4.5×11 mm) was modeled and screwed into a human mandibular bone block using a computer-aided design (CAD) software program. Two separate models were generated: (1) PM, 4.5-mm implant with 4.5-mm-wide abutment and (2) PS, 4.5-mm implant with 3.5-mm-wide abutment. Implant components were modeled with linear isotropic properties and bones with anisotropic properties. Vertical (200 to 800 N) and oblique (50 to 150 N) forces were applied to each model to simulate occlusal loads. Linear elastic analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench 16. von Mises equivalent stresses in the implant assemblies and peri-implant bone were calculated and compared with independent samples t test (α=.05).Resultsvon Mises equivalent stress values under simulated axial and nonaxial occlusal loads were lower for PM than for PS implant assemblies. However, the differences were not statistically significant. Stress within the peri-implant bone was significantly higher for the PM group than for the PS group (P<.001).ConclusionsPlatform switching decreased stress within peri-implant bone and may help limit marginal bone resorption.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Nonthermal argon plasma may increase the surface energy of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) dental ceramics. However, studies that evaluated the effect of increased plasma treatment times on the bond strength of resin cements to Y-TZP ceramics are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different nonthermal argon plasma (NTAP) treatment times on the surface energy and bond strength of a self-adhesive resin cement to Y-TZP ceramic.

Material and methods

Forty-eighty Y-TZP plates were divided into 2 groups (n=24): as-sintered (AS) and airborne-particle abrasion (APA) with 50-μm Al2O3, which were subdivided into 4 groups (n=6) according to the time of NTAP treatment: 0, 20, 60, and 120 seconds. The surface energy was evaluated with a goniometer. Forty Y-TZP blocks submitted to the same surface treatments (8 groups; n=5) were cemented to composite resin blocks, using a self-adhesive resin cement. After storage in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours, the Y-TZP-composite resin blocks were cut into beams and submitted to a microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and the Tukey honestly significant differences test (α=.05).

Results

Treatment with NTAP increased the surface energy for AS and APA groups (P<.05). For both groups, the μTBS was as follows: 0 seconds < 20 seconds < 60 seconds = 120 seconds (P<.05). Only after 120 seconds of NTAP treatment was the μTBS of APA higher than that of AS (P<.05).

Conclusions

Treatment with NTAP improved the surface energy and increased the μTBS of self-adhesive resin cement to Y-TZP ceramic, with higher times of plasma treatment resulting in higher bond strength.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The accuracy of the virtual images used in digital dentistry is essential to the success of oral rehabilitation.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review was to estimate the mean accuracy of digital technologies used to scan facial, skeletal, and intraoral tissues.

Material and methods

A search strategy was applied in 4 databases and in the non–peer-reviewed literature from April through June 2017 and was updated in July 2017. Studies evaluating the dimensional accuracy of 3-dimensional images acquired by the scanning of hard and soft tissues were included.

Results

A total of 2093 studies were identified by the search strategy, of which 183 were initially screened for full-text reading and 34 were considered eligible for this review. The scanning of facial tissues showed deviation values ranging between 140 and 1330 μm, whereas the 3D reconstruction of the jaw bone ranged between 106 and 760 μm. The scanning of a dentate arch by intraoral and laboratorial scanners varied from 17 μm to 378 μm. For edentulous arches, the scanners showed a trueness ranging between 44.1 and 591 μm and between 19.32 and 112 μm for dental implant digital scanning.

Conclusions

The current digital technologies are reported to be accurate for specific applications. However, the scanning of edentulous arches still represents a challenge.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Alzheimer disease (AD) can affect masticatory function, affecting oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL). Whether oral rehabilitation with conventional removable prostheses can restore masticatory function and improve OHRQoL in these individuals is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the influence of oral rehabilitation with removable prostheses on masticatory efficiency and OHRQoL in elders with and without AD.

Material and methods

Thirty-two elders with mild AD (n=16, mean age=76.7 ±6.3 years) or without AD (n=16, mean age=75.2 ±4.4 years) were recruited. All participants first underwent masticatory efficiency and OHRQoL evaluations, and 2 months after insertion of new removable prostheses, the variables were reassessed. Masticatory efficiency was determined using the sieving method, and OHRQoL was measured by applying the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The data from the baseline and after insertion of the new removable prostheses were compared by paired t test. Group differences at each time point were assessed by t test (α=.05).

Results

After insertion of the new removable prostheses, masticatory efficiency and OHRQoL improved in both the elders with AD and the control. At baseline, elders with AD had lower masticatory efficiency and higher OHRQoL than controls (P<.05). After removable prosthesis insertion, elders with AD continued to show lower masticatory efficiency values than controls, but their OHRQoL was similar.

Conclusions

Oral rehabilitation with new removable prostheses improved the masticatory efficiency and OHRQoL of elders with and without AD, although masticatory efficiency did not reach control levels in elders with AD.  相似文献

The multidisciplinary teams involved in the treatment of individuals with cleft lip and palate are challenged when implants are indicated in the cleft area. Difficulties include obtaining a healthy peri-implant area and, especially, obtaining the natural-looking papilla essential for esthetic success. The area affected by the cleft has a bone deficiency, which is typically augmented with an alveolar bone graft at adolescence. Guidelines for the 3-dimensional placement of implants at the cleft area are presented based on clinical reports. The patients were followed up for at least 1 year. Adoption of the proposed guidelines enables satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes in patients with cleft lip and palate.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Many elderly individuals are rehabilitated with removable complete dentures, which require an initial adaptation period for both oral perception and the perioral muscles. Studies assessing the changes in stimulus perception and the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the orbicularis oris muscle shortly after conventional complete denture insertion are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of mouth rehabilitation with removable complete dentures on stimulus perception and the EMG activity of the orbicularis oris muscle.

Material and methods

This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Araçatuba Dental School (São Paulo State University). Fifteen participants who had worn their removable complete dentures for at least 5 years and needed rehabilitation with new prostheses were enrolled in the study. A perception questionnaire was applied, and surface EMG examinations of the orbicularis oris muscle during rest, suction of water with a straw, and pronunciation of the syllables /bah/, /mah/, /pah/, and the word ‘Mississippi’ were performed before (T0) and 30 (T1) and 100 (T2) days after insertion of the new prostheses. The data were analyzed with the Cochran Q test, McNemar test, 2-way repeated measures ANOVA, and honestly significant difference (HSD) Tukey test (α=.05).

Results

Significant improvement was reported in the perception questionnaire in terms of the oral discomfort sensation in the T2 period. EMG activity decreased during rest and suction after insertion of the new prostheses. A statistical difference between the upper and lower fascicles of the orbicularis oris muscle was detected, with a decrease of EMG activity between the T0 and T1 periods on the lower fascicle, except for when pronouncing the /pah/ syllable.

Conclusions

Mouth rehabilitation with removable complete dentures decreased oral discomfort and, depending on the oral function, decreased or increased EMG activity of the orbicularis oris muscle. In addition, the lower fascicle was more active than the upper fascicle during rest and most functional activities.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The properties, such as softness and viscoelasticity, of a resinous reliner can deteriorate and extrinsic elements can become incorporated, making surface protection of the reliner material essential.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of low temperature plasma on Coe-Soft resinous reliner, submitted to aging in artificial saliva for up to 180 days. Sorption, solubility, Shore A hardness, surface energy, and topographic characteristics were analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

Material and methods

Forty-four specimens were fabricated and distributed in 2 groups: nonplasma reliner (control group) and reliner with plasma (plasma group). The plasma was applied with a mixture of 70% hexamethyldisiloxane, 20% O, and 10% Ar. Total work pressure was maintained at a constant 20 Pa for 30 minutes of deposition. The specimens were analyzed before and after aging in an incubator with immersion in artificial saliva for 30, 90, and 180 days. The quantitative data were submitted to 2-way ANOVA and the Tukey test (α=.05), while qualitative data were compared visually.

Results

The control group presented lower Shore A hardness values only in the initial period, and surface energy increased with aging for both groups until 90 days. Greater sorption percentage values were encountered at 180 days in the plasma group. Greater solubility values were encountered in the control group in all periods.

Conclusions

Plasma is an option for the protection of the material studied because the deposited film remained on the surface of the reliner material after aging.  相似文献
