自体骨髓干细胞移植狗牙周缺损处引导组织再生的实验观察

目的本文对应用自体骨髓干细胞移植引导组织再生的动物实验的观察进行评价。方法6只成年狗,实验组,对照组各18颗牙。分别在每条狗抽取骨髓1ml,在实验室内进行原代骨髓干细胞培养,培养液为内含15%小牛血清(FCS)和0.5%青-链霉素抗生素的a-MEM培养液。第1代细胞转移到18块大小为6×2mm2胶原膜上,约每张胶原膜上1×107个细胞,培养24小时后相差显微镜下观察细胞在膜上附着情况。在人工制造的牙周缺损中进行体外培养的自体骨髓干细胞移植结合GTR方法(实验组)和单纯GTR方法(对照组)。在6周后切片行牙周组织学观察。结果实验组新生牙槽骨新生牙周膜组织及新生牙骨质的修复再生的效果明显好于对照组(P<0.05),形成了的牙周结构,只是引导再生的牙周组织基本恢复到正常的牙周组织高度。实验组牙槽骨再生高度平均为4.50±0.13mm;对照组为3.09±0.28mm。结论应用自体骨髓干细胞移植结合e-pTFE膜引导牙周组织再生可促进牙周组织的再生、加快正常骨结构组织的建立并缩短修复再生时间。

全冠边缘材料与位置对人牙周组织的影响

目的 探讨全冠边缘材料和位置对人牙周组织的影响.方法 对需作全冠或双端固定桥修复并符合纳入标准的20例患者的30颗牙,在牙体预备前、全冠或双端固定桥黏固后7～8周,分别记录其颊侧牙龈的菌斑指数(PLI)、牙周探诊深度(PD)、龈沟出血指数(SBI),并测量其龈沟液(GCF)量、龈沟液的天冬氨酸转氨酶活性(AST活性).全冠或固定桥黏固前后分别测量冠边缘间隙.暂时冠和全冠黏固后对患者各行1次口腔健康教育.结果 全冠黏固后7～8周,全冠对应牙龈的PD、 SBI≥2频率、GCF量及AST活性没有明显变化, PLI≥1的频率明显下降.结论 具有良好的口腔卫生习惯、制作精良的全冠黏固后7～8周,金属边缘、烤瓷边缘、平龈冠边缘、龈下冠边缘均不会引起人牙龈的不良反应.     

Mandibular complete denture impressions with fluid wax or polysulfide rubber: A comparative study

Some authors have stated that wax cannot be used to make impressions for complete dentures, while others have found that wax has some advantages over elastomeric impression materials. The purpose of this study was to compare mandibular impressions made with a fluid wax to those made with light-body polysulfide rubber. Fifteen maxillary and mandibular complete dentures were made using fluid wax as a final impression material. For comparison, 15 maxillary and mandibular complete dentures were made using light-body polysulfide rubber. The number of adjustments required over 1 year was recorded. No statistical difference in adjustments was noted between the two groups.     

Role of gene E2f1 in susceptibility to bacterial adherence of oral streptococci to tooth surfaces in mice

Dental plaque is composed of a biofilm community of microorganisms on teeth that coats the oral cavity, including attaching to the teeth, and provides a protective reservoir for oral microbial pathogens, which are the primary cause of persistent and chronic infectious diseases. Oral streptococci are pioneering organisms that play an important role in biofilm formation on tooth surfaces as well as being primary causative agents of dental caries. The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of the E2f1 gene in susceptibility to dry mouth and bacterial adherence of oral streptococci to tooth surfaces in animal model experiments. A mutation of the E2f1 gene in mice is known to cause enhanced T-lymphocyte proliferation, leading to testicular atrophy, splenomegaly, salivary gland dysplasia, and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmunity. We found a decreased volume of saliva production and protein production rate, along with increased amylase activity, IgA concentration, and mucin 1 concentration in E2F-1(-/-) mice as compared with the control C57BL/6 mice. Further, we quantified the recolonization of oral streptococci in E2F-1(-/-) mice and found that a higher number of some oral streptococci were colonized on the teeth of these mice. In particular, following oral ingestion of 1% sucrose in water, the colonization of Streptococcus mutans increased in comparison with other streptococci. Our results suggest that the E2f1 gene may affect susceptibility for oral biofilm formation by streptococci in humans with dry mouth.     

喙突过长致开口受限的临床观察

目的报道喙突过长引起下颌运动受限、开口困难的病例资料，供临床工作借鉴。方法报道7例喙突过长致开口困难病例的临床、X线表现及治疗方法。结果曲面断层、华特位片可较好的显示突喙突过长，但往往不为临床医师所认识。本资料6例经手术切除过长的喙突后，开口度均恢复正常。结论喙突过长致开口困难较少见，应在开口困难的鉴别中予以注意。     

Prevalence of Nontraditional Dental Hygiene Practice

There is little knowledge of the number or the work characteristics of dental hygienists outside the private-practice setting. This survey was conducted to determine the percentage of hygienists practicing in nontraditional (nonprivate-practice) settings and the types of settings in which they are employed. Mail questionnaires were returned from a total of 21,847 (56.9%) of the hygienists in the survey sample. The percentage of active hygienists practicing in nontraditional settings was 11.8. Dental or dental hygiene schools, and government and nongovernment-supported clinics were the most frequent nontraditional practice settings. State supervision requirements were found to be associated significantly with the prevalence of nontraditional hygiene practice.     

Dimensional Accuracy of 7 Die Materials

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the linear dimensional accuracy and the handling characteristics of 7 die materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A master die analogous to a complete veneer crown preparation was machined from medical grade stainless steel, and 3 measurements (1: vertical; 2 and 3: horizontal) were made from 3 scribed reference lines. Individual polyvinylsiloxane impressions were made (n = 10) for each of the specimens. The fabricated dies were measured (50x) to the nearest 0.0001 mm. Data were subject to ANOVA/Duncan tests at significance level 0.05 and pairwise comparisons. RESULTS: Type IV resin-impregnated dental stone and copper-plated dies most closely approximated the dimensions of the master die, and were not significantly different from each other in any of the pairwise comparisons. Conventional Types IV and V dental stone dies exhibited setting expansion within the range appropriate for gypsum. Epoxy resin die materials demonstrated shrinkage comparable to the expansion of the Types IV and V dies. Polyurethane dies displayed a combination of linear expansion and shrinkage. Bis-acryl composite resin dies had excessive shrinkage. CONCLUSIONS: Type IV resin-impregnated dental stone and copper-plated dies were more dimensionally accurate than the other die materials tested.
