OBJECTIVES: This split-mouth, double-blind, randomized controlled study evaluated the clinical performance of composite restorations in Class I beveled margin cavity preparations in primary molars. METHODS: A total of 94 Class I cavity preparations were performed in the carious primary molars of 32 children aged 4-10 years. Two cavity designs were used: conventional conservative preparation (G1) and modified preparation with cavosurface bevel (G2). All teeth were restored using TPH Spectrumtrade mark. The restorations were evaluated by two calibrated investigators at baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months using slight modified USPH criteria. The visible plaque index and fiber optic transilumination (FOTI) were also used. The data were statistically evaluated using Wilcoxon and Friedman tests (p<0.05). The rank correlations between secondary caries, visible plaque index and FOTI were obtained using Pearson correlation (p<0.01). RESULTS: Of the 94 restorations performed and evaluated at baseline, 76 restorations were available after 18 months. Seventy-three restorations were considered as clinical success, 10 were censored for drop out reasons and 5 were lost by natural exfoliation. Four restorations failed by secondary caries and two failed by marginal adaptation discrepancies. For all evaluation there was difference between the baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months (p<0.05) but there were no statistically significant difference in G1 and G2 for any criteria evaluated (p>0.05) at any period of the study. The visible plaque index was correlated to secondary caries. CONCLUSION: Bevel cavity design preparations did not improve the success of composite restorations in primary molars over 18 months. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dentin dysplasia type I (DDI) is a rare hereditary disturbance of dentin formation. It is characterized by clinically normal-appearing crowns; obliteration of pulp chambers; and short, blunted and malformed roots that are commonly associated with periodontal attachment loss (PAL). In this context, we report three cases within a family with similar clinical and radiographic features of DDI but with differing microbiologic and periodontal conditions. METHODS: A 42-year-old white female and her two daughters (25 and 10 years of age) presented with a diagnosis of DDI. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), visible plaque, and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded. Subgingival biofilm samples were randomly collected and analyzed by checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. RESULTS: The mother presented 34.9% of sites with PD > or =4 mm, 41.3% of sites with CAL > or =4 mm, and 57% of sites with BOP; both daughters presented no sites with PD or CAL >3 mm and <10% of sites with BOP. Microbiologic analysis detected Gemella morbillorum, Neisseria mucosa, and Staphylococcus aureus in > or =50% of the mother's samples. The daughters showed high levels (>10(4) bacterial cells) of some periodontopathic bacteria, including members of the red (Porphyromonas gingivalis) and orange (Fusobacterium periodonticum and F. nucleatum polymorphum) complexes and beneficial species of the yellow (Streptococcus gordonii) and purple (Veillonella parvula) complexes. The mother presented high mean levels only for four tested species (N. mucosa, Prevotella melaninogenica, Treponema denticola, and V. parvula). CONCLUSION: A combination of radiographs, microbiologic analysis, and preventive professional monitoring care is important to avoid PAL and to provide oral health in patients with DDI. 相似文献

♦ Background: Peritoneal membrane damage induced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) is largely associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of mesothelial cells (MCs), which is believed to be a result mainly of the glucose degradation products (GDPs) present in PD solutions.♦ Objectives: This study investigated the impact of bicarbonate-buffered, low-GDP PD solution (BicaVera: Fresenius Medical Care, Bad Homburg, Germany) on EMT of MCs in vitro and ex vivo.♦ Methods: In vitro studies: Omentum-derived MCs were incubated with lactate-buffered standard PD fluid or BicaVera fluid diluted 1:1 with culture medium.Ex vivo studies: From 31 patients randomly distributed to either standard or BicaVera solution and followed for 24 months, effluents were collected every 6 months for determination of EMT markers in effluent MCs.♦ Results: Culturing of MCs with standard fluid in vitro resulted in morphology change to a non-epithelioid shape, with downregulation of E-cadherin (indicative of EMT) and strong induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. By contrast, in vitro exposure of MCs to bicarbonate/low-GDP solution had less impact on both EMT parameters.Ex vivo studies partially confirmed the foregoing results. The BicaVera group, with a higher prevalence of the non-epithelioid MC phenotype at baseline (for unknown reasons), showed a clear and significant trend to gain and maintain an epithelioid phenotype at medium- and longer-term and to show fewer fibrogenic characteristics. By contrast, the standard solution group demonstrated a progressive and significantly higher presence of the non-epithelioid phenotype. Compared with effluent MCs having an epithelioid phenotype, MCs with non-epithelioid morphology showed significantly lower levels of E-cadherin and greater levels of fibronectin and VEGF. In comparing the BicaVera and standard solution groups, MCs from the standard solution group showed significantly higher secretion of interleukin 8 and lower secretion of collagen I, but no differences in the levels of other EMT-associated molecules, including fibronectin, VEGF, E-cadherin, and transforming growth factor β1.Peritonitis incidence was similar in both groups. Functionally, the use of BicaVera fluid was associated with higher transport of small molecules and lower ultrafiltration capacity.♦ Conclusions: Effluent MCs grown ex vivo from patients treated with bicarbonate/low-GDP BicaVera fluid showed a trend to acquire an epithelial phenotype, with lower production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines (such as interleukin 8) than was seen with MCs from patients treated with a lactate-buffered standard PD solution. 相似文献

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of renal replacement and is based on the use of the peritoneum as a semipermeable membrane across which ultrafiltration and diffusion take place. Nevertheless, continuous exposure to bioincompatible PD solutions and episodes of peritonitis or hemoperitoneum cause acute and chronic inflammation and injury to the peritoneal membrane, which progressively undergoes fibrosis and angiogenesis and, ultimately, ultrafiltration failure. The pathophysiologic mechanisms that are involved in peritoneal functional impairment have remained elusive. Resident fibroblasts and infiltrating inflammatory cells have been considered the main entities that are responsible for structural and functional alterations of the peritoneum. Recent findings, however, demonstrated that new fibroblastic cells may arise from local conversion of mesothelial cells (MC) by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during the inflammatory and repair responses that are induced by PD and pointed to MC as protagonists of peritoneal membrane deterioration. Submesothelial myofibroblasts, which participate in inflammatory responses, extracellular matrix accumulation, and angiogenesis, can originate from activated resident fibroblasts and from MC through EMT. This heterogeneous origin of myofibroblasts reveals new pathogenic mechanisms and offers novel therapeutic possibilities. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advances on understanding the mechanisms that are implicated in peritoneal structural alterations, which have allowed the identification of the EMT of MC as a potential therapeutic target of membrane failure. 相似文献
