目的探讨翼外肌上头与关节盘的关系。方法对４７侧老年尸体颞下颌关节标本进行了斜矢状面上的解剖学和组织学研究。结果①显微镜下观察翼外肌上头纤维可附着于关节盘、关节囊、关节盘前附着及髁突；②翼外肌上头附着于髁突的纤维平均为５２％，附着于关节盘的纤维为１０％，附着于关节囊的纤维为２４％，附着于下颌前附着的纤维量为４％；③翼外肌上头附着于关节盘的比例与关节盘前移无确切相关性；④翼外肌上头纤维与关节盘纤维的连接方式包括结点连接、肌腱连接和端端连接。结论翼外肌上头主要附着于髁突，附着于关节盘的少量纤维不足以独立地使关节盘发生前移位。     

Effect of finish line variants on marginal accuracy and fracture strength of ceramic optimized polymer/fiber-reinforced composite crowns

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Ceramic optimized polymer (Ceromer)/fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) crowns have been promoted as alternatives to conventional crowns. However, little is known regarding the ideal tooth preparation for this type of crown. PURPOSE: This in vitro study evaluated the marginal adaptation and fracture strength of ceromer/FRC crowns with respect to the various types of finish lines. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four metal dies with different finish lines (0.9-mm chamfer, 1.2-mm chamfer, 1.2-mm rounded shoulder, and 1.2-mm shoulder) were prepared. Forty (10 for each finish line) Targis/Vectris crowns were fabricated on duplicated base metal alloy dies. The restorations were stereoscopically evaluated at 56 points along the entire circumferential margin for measuring the margin adaptation before and after cementation with a resin luting agent. The specimens were then compressively loaded to failure using a universal testing machine. The marginal adaptation (microm) was analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc Dunnett test (alpha=.05). The fracture load (N) was analyzed with a 1-way analysis of the variance and the Scheffe adjustment (alpha=.05). The fractured surfaces of the crowns were examined with a scanning electron microscope to determine the mode of fracture. RESULTS: The marginal adaptation of crowns with a shoulder finish line was significantly better than crowns with a chamfer finish line before and after cementation (P<.001). The increased marginal gap after cementation was the lowest in the 1.2-mm rounded shoulder group. The fracture strength of the crowns with the 0.9-mm chamfer and crowns with 1.2-mm chamfer was significantly greater than those of the crowns with the 1.2-mm shoulder or rounded shoulder (P=.011, P=.049, respectively). The mean fracture load of all crowns, regardless of the finish line design, was 1646 N. The fractured surface of the crown revealed adhesive failure and 3 types of cohesive failure (fracture of the Targis and Vectris, Targis fracture with a crack in the Vectris layer, and crushing without fracture). CONCLUSION: The marginal gaps were greater for the chamfer finish line specimens than in the shoulder finish line specimens. However, the fracture strength of the chamfer finish line specimens was greater than that of the shoulder finish line specimens.     

Evidence for charge domains on developing enamel crystal surfaces

The control of hydroxyapatite crystal initiation and growth during enamel development is thought to be mediated via the proteins of the extracellular matrix. However, the precise nature of these matrix-mineral interactions remains obscure. The aim of the present study was to use a combination of atomic and chemical force microscopy to characterize developing enamel crystal surfaces and to determine their relationship with endogenous enamel matrix protein (amelogenin). The results show regular and discrete domains of various charges or charge densities on the surfaces of hydroxyapatite crystals derived from the maturation stage of enamel development. Binding of amelogenin to individual crystals at physiological pH was seen to be coincident with positively charged surface domains. These domains may therefore provide an instructional template for matrix-mineral interactions. Alternatively, the alternating array of charge on the crystal surfaces may reflect the original relationship with, and influence of, matrix interaction with the crystal surfaces during crystal growth.

Study on the effects of mechanical pressure to the ultrastructure and secretion ability of mandibular condylar chondrocytes

During mandibular movement, condyle is subjected to repetitive compression and the mandibular condylar chondrocytes (MCCs) can detect and respond to this biomechanical environment by altering their metabolism. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of pressure to the ultrastructure, aggrecan synthesis, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin F(1)alpha(PGF(1)alpha) secretion in MCCs. In vitro cultured rabbit MCCs were incubated and pressed under continuous pressure of 90kPa for 60min and 360min by hydraulic pressure controlled cellular strain unit. The ultrastructure, aggrecan mRNA expression, activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and PGF(1)alpha secretion were investigated. Besides, nitric oxide inhibitor was used together with pressure to investigate the role of NO in mechanical effects. The appearance of MCC on TEM showed that after been pressed under 90kPa for 60min, the cellular processes became elongated and voluminous, together with aggrecan mRNA increasing. Under 90kPa for 360min, some of the cells showed distinct sign of apotosis and the aggrecan mRNA decreased. Pressure of 90kPa could cause increase of NOS activity and decrease of PGF(1)alpha composition. Inhibitor experiments indicated that pressure-induced upregulation of aggrecan mRNA and inhibition of PGF(1)alpha synthesis was partly mediated by NO. Continuous pressure could cause changes on the ultrastructure and function of MCC, as well as up-regulation of aggrecan synthesis, increase of NO secretion and decrease of PGF(1)alpha composition. NO was the upstream molecule, which mediated the response of aggrecan and PGF(1)alpha to mechanical pressure.

Creating an effective PBL case in oral and maxillofacial surgery at a Chinese dental school: a dental education primer

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a widely accepted educational method centered on the discussion and learning that emerge from a clinically based problem; however, little has been reported on the details of PBL case-writing in the dental education literature. This article outlines some principles of writing a PBL case as it is practiced at a Chinese dental school and presents, as an example, an actual case based on a clinical problem (ameloblastoma of the jaw) intended to provide a learning focus for predoctoral dental students. A good PBL case should allow for progressive, interdependent actions to be taken in the evaluation and overall management of the patient in context and should trigger inquiry and discussion among students in both the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathophysiology, etc.) and related clinical sciences. The epidemiological, sociological, and ethical considerations related to each problem should also be emphasized as an essential component of effective health care provision.
