Occupational allergic contact dermatitis and composition of acrylates in dentin bonding systems

Background Dentin-bonding systems contain sensitizing acrylates. They are increasingly used in dentistry, but only few cases of allergy have been encountered. Objective This study reports observations on eleven patients sensitized by acrylates in dentin-bonding compounds. Furthermore, the composition of dentin-bonding products was analysed and compared with the information given in the material safety data sheets. Methods Patch testing was performed to reveal allergic contact dermatitis, and chamber provocation tests to reveal possible respiratory sensitivity. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to analyse the chemical composition of the bonding products. Results The most common sensitizer in our material of eleven patients was 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA). Another putative sensitizer, BIS-GMA, used in dentin adhesives, did not cause sensitization. The typical allergic dermatitis localized to the fingertips (pulpitis). Seven of the eleven patients also developed paresthesia of the fingertips. One patient with positive patch test reactions to (meth)acrylates had pharyngitis hut no skin symptoms. One patient was sensitized because she had been patch tested with too high a concentration (undiluted) of dentin-bonding components. Material safety sheets gave inaccurate or wrong information about the contents. Conclusion Dentin-bonding acrylates are strong sensitizers, and even a single exposure may sensitize.     

大黄提取液对脱矿釉质中钙溶出量的影响

目的 观察大黄提取液对脱矿釉质中钙溶出量的影响.方法 用不同浓度的大黄提取液和去离子水处理牙面后进行脱矿,ASCA生化分析仪对釉质脱矿后的脱矿液进行钙离子浓度的检测.结果 2 mg/ml和4 mg/ml大黄提取液处理后釉质钙溶出量<去离了水(P<0.01)、<1 mg/ml大黄提取液组(P<0.05),>2%氟化钠组但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).1 mg/ml大黄提取液处理后釉质钙溶出量>2%氟化钠组(P<0.01),<去离子水组但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).结论 2mg/ ml和4 mg/ml大黄提取液具有抑制脱矿釉质中钙溶出作用:2mg/ml大黄提取液为抑制钙溶出的起始有效浓度.     

A midface swelling in a child – A possible diagnostic dilemma

A lump on the midface of a child can pose as a diagnostic dilemma. There is a wide variety of possible differential diagnoses, ranging from simple benign conditions such as a sebaceous cyst, dermoid cyst, lipoma, neuroma and neurofibroma, to potentially devastating conditions such as odontogenic myxoma.A case of a child in which the formulation of a definite diagnosis was clinically and histologically challenging is presented.     

口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥106例回顾分析

目的：通过对1983年以来，孝感市中心医院口腔中心门诊治疗并发晕厥106例的回顾性分析，探讨口腔门诊治疗并发单纯性晕厥的原因及一些相关因素，增强医患双方的防治意识，安全顺利的进行口腔门诊治疗。方法：对106例单纯性晕厥反应，采取现场询问式调查的方法，对其一般情况，口腔门诊治疗经历，治疗时的心态，口腔门诊治疗的了解，以及不同口腔治疗晕厥发生情况等进行调查、归纳、分析。结果：1)晕厥的发生与患者的年龄有关，12～40岁口腔门诊治疗经历欠缺的患者是口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥的高危人群。2)口腔患者进行治疗前心理准备充足与否对并发晕厥反应的影响较大。3)晕厥在口腔门诊某些治疗中发生率较高，拔牙术最多，其次为脓肿切排。86％(92例)属因畏惧疼痛导致紧张而诱发的血管抑制性晕厥。4)晕厥多发生于治疗初期(93：13)。结论：口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥临床表现多不严重，但对患者就诊和医师的治疗影响明显，切实做好口腔治疗错误信息，消除和减轻他们的疑虑和畏惧的紧张心情，对保障口腔门诊治疗安全尤为重要。

目的测试一种增白牙膏用于减少牙面外源性色素的效果. 方法 研究对象121例,年龄21～57岁.实验组60例,对照组61例,两组年龄和性别分布差异无显著性.采用双盲法两组平行设计,根据Lobene色斑指数(LSI)和性别均衡分为两组,随机分配使用实验牙膏或对照牙膏.实验组牙膏含3 %植酸钠和1.3 %焦磷酸钠,对照组牙膏不含相应成分.临床检查分别在基线、3周和6周后进行,由同一人测定LSI.问卷询问刷牙情况. 结果 基线检查、实验3周和6周后实验组LSI分别为3.00、2.16和1.47, 对照组分别为3.10、3.08和2.18.基线检查两组LSI差别无显著性意义, 实验3周和6周后两组LSI比较差异均有显著性意义. 实验组LSI在3周和6周后分别比基线时降低28 %和51 %. 结论含3 %植酸钠和1.3 %焦磷酸钠牙膏能有效减少牙面色素,效果随使用时间而增强.     

Mechanism of toxic action of fluoride in dental fluorosis: whether trimeric G proteins participate in the disturbance of intracellular transport of secretory ameloblast exposed to fluoride

In enamel fluorosis model rats treated with sodium fluoride, secretory ameloblasts of incisor tooth germs exhibited disruption of intracellular trafficking. We examined whether heterotrimeric G proteins participated in the disruption of vesicular trafficking of the secretory ameloblast exposed to fluoride, using immunoblotting and pertussis toxin (IAP)-induced adenosyl diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation for membrane fractions of the cell. Immunoblotting of crude membranes, post supernatants of the ameloblast, with anti-G_i3/o and anti-G_s antibodies showed that G_i3 or G_o proteins existed in the secretory ameloblast, but G_s protein did not. Immunoblotting of the subcellular membrane fractions indicated that the G_i3 or G_o proteins were located in the Golgi membrane, but were not in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) membrane. Autoradiograph of IAP-induced ADP-ribosylation, however, showed the existence of IAP-sensitive G proteins both in rER and Golgi membranes. Fluoride treatment decreased the G proteins bound to both membranes. These findings indicate that different G proteins, both of which are IAP-sensitive, are present in the rER and Golgi apparatus, and suggest that these G proteins participate in the disturbance of intracellular transport of the secretory ameloblast exposed to fluoride.

Nd—YAG激光在可摘局部义齿基牙预备的应用

为了解决可摘局部义齿修复过程中牙本质过敏基牙预备的困难和戴牙后加重磨耗等问题，于１９９１年起，对２０例（３０颗）牙本质过敏基牙在预备前、后进行了Ｎｄ－ＹＡＧ激光治疗。经过０．５～４年的临床观察，结果表明该疗法可以明显减轻患者在基牙预备时的敏感与不适，使得基牙预备顺利完成且无副作用，治疗后支托窝与隙卡沟均无明显磨耗。根据本研究结果，建议将Ｎｄ－ＹＡＧ激光治疗作为对可摘局部义齿的牙本质过敏基牙预备的常规方法，对健康基牙亦可在预备后应用。
