纤维连接蛋白对生物矿化影响的体外实验研究

目的:探讨纤维连接蛋白(Fn)对生物矿化过程的影响,为其应用于临床作盖髓剂提供理论依据.方法:应用体外凝胶矿化系统结合微观形态学观察,研究有无羟基磷灰石(HAP)晶核时Fn对钙磷沉积的影响.结果:凝胶体系中随Fn浓度升高,吸光度值也升高(P<0.01),表明磷酸钙沉淀量的增多;加入HAP并不降低Fn的促沉积活性.结论:Fn可能通过促进钙磷沉积及其与HAP的相互作用参与矿化过程,此特性可能有利于Fn作为盖髓剂成份诱导牙本质桥形成.     

局麻下深龋充填对成人牙科畏惧症的影响

目的　探讨局麻下深龋充填对成人牙科畏惧症的影响。方法　采用Corah’s牙科畏惧症评分法 ,筛选出 10 0例需深龋充填的DF成人患者 ,分为实验组与对照组。实验组在局麻下行深龋充填术 ,对照组则为常规的牙科治疗。结果　实验组DF程度明显降低 ,与治疗前以及对照组比较都有显著性差异 (P <0 .0 1)。牙科治疗过程中两组脉搏的变化有显著性差异 (P <0 .0 1)。结论　局麻下行深龋充填术 ,对成人牙科畏惧症有治疗作用     

Vitapan Classical比色板的数码摄影研究(Ⅱ)

目的:研究VitapanClassical比色板各比色片中1/3部分的色度值的分布规律,以利于提高临床上的比色准确率。方法:在自然光线下用数码相机对VitapanClassical比色板进行摄影,将拍摄结果输入计算机,经Photoshop7.0软件处理后,记录各比色片中1/3部分的亮度和RGB值。结果:各比色片中1/3部分的亮度和R、G、B值是不同的。结论:数码摄影能够较真实地再现VitapanClassical比色片的颜色,可以作为临床比色方法和烤瓷材料颜色选择的补充。     

Difficulties with tooth protectors in endotracheal intubation

The suitability of three tooth protectors for routine use during endotracheal intubation was studied in 300 consecutive patients undergoing elective operations under general anaesthesia. The main disadvantages of the protectors were lack of space and the consequent difficulty of guiding the endotracheal tube into the larynx, and poor visibility, especially when the Camo protector was used. These difficulties could be avoided in most cases by cutting off the right angle of the Camo protector. The less experienced anaesthesiologists especially had difficulties with the protectors: 20% of patients in the Camo group were considered impossible to intubate unless the protector was removed. The silicone inlay of the Camo protector melts and becomes adhesive at body temperature, which makes its prolonged use hazardous. Two patients lost a maxillary incisor despite the proper use of a protector (Denex). Thus the use of a tooth protector alone does not guarantee avoidance of dental trauma. Better results could be obtained by improving the design of the protectors and by careful pre-anaesthetic dental examination.     

变形链球菌F-ATP酶亚基基因uncA遗传多态性的研究

目的研究变形链球菌临床分离株耐酸因子F—ATP酶亚基α的结构基因uncA的遗传多态性，并探讨基因多态性与细菌耐酸力及龋病发生的关系。方法分别从高龋、无龋个体中分离变形链球菌34和30株，其中包括18株高耐酸株、20株低耐酸株。从细菌组DNA扩增uncA，行限制性内切酶长度多态性分析（RFLP）及核酸测序比较。结果不同限制性内切酶RFLP产生不同的基因型，测序证实了导致多态出现的基因变异；内切酶Hph Ⅰ产生的A、B基因型在不同患龋个体分离菌株的分布不同（P〈0．05），A型uncA在高龋分离株的检出率高于无龋分离株；内切酶MboⅡ产生的C、D基因型在不同耐酸力菌株中的分布不同（P〈0．05），C型uncA在高耐酸力菌株的检出率高于低耐酸力菌株。结论变形链球菌F—ATP酶的α亚基基因uncA具有明显遗传多态性，酸性环境下生存力强的菌株可能出现基因的适应性变异，不同基因型uncA分布与菌株的耐酸力及致龋力相关。     

Orthodontic undergraduate education: developments in a modern curriculum.

This paper explores some modern concepts of teaching and learning, including cognitive theory, the zone of proximal development, constructivism, andragogy and learning styles and describes how they have informed the development of an undergraduate orthodontic curriculum. The changes described include student-centred learning, guided self-learning, and the incorporation of problem-based learning concepts. The details of the problem-based learning programme are described together with results of student feedback on the change in teaching and learning style.     

激光荧光检测仪对乳牙合面患龋敏感位点的流行病学研究

目的：定量分析乳牙合面的龋病敏感点位，为指导临床预防和治疗龋病提供依据。方法：采用激光荧光检测仪（DIAGNOdent）检测156名5～6岁儿童共561颗患龋的乳磨牙合面，记录合面龋坏最严重的位点。结果：在上颌第2乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点有60．1％发生在远中窝。在下颌第2乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点有51．2％发生在舌沟；而在下颌第1乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点则易发生在远中窝，占该牙记录位点的34．9％。结论：不同的牙合面患龋严重部位具有统计学规律，提示这些位点是龋坏容易发生和发展的地方，是临床上预防和治疗不可忽略的重要部位。     

Histological evaluation of dog permanent teeth after traumatic intrusion of their primary predecessors

Abstract –  The aims of this study were to analyze the histomorphology of developing permanent teeth whose primary teeth had suffered traumatic intrusion, as well as to compare the influence of immediate extraction of the intruded tooth to passive re-eruption. Nine dogs from 45 to 50 days old were submitted to the intrusion of the maxillary central and lateral primary incisors using a force applicator adapted to the teeth incisal cuspids. The right side intruded teeth were kept in their sockets and the ones on the left side were extracted 30 min later. After a postoperatory periods of 30 and 60 days, four (group 1) and five (group 2) dogs, respectively, were killed by perfusion. The histological evaluations showed that, in group 1, alterations had occurred in the odontoblastic layer and deposition of the enamel matrix had taken place in some specimens while in group 2, a portion of non-mineralized matrix was observed. We concluded that the morphological changes were because of the immediate trauma of intrusion. No differences were found between the groups where the primary tooth was immediately extracted or left to passively re-erupt.
