An Innovative Approach to Chairside Provisional Replacement of an Extracted Anterior Tooth: Use of Fiber-Reinforced Ribbon-Composites and a Natural Tooth

Immediate chairside replacement of an extracted anterior tooth may contribute to a patient's comfort, treatment acceptance, and expectations of treatment; however, fabrication of a custom restoration in the anterior region of the mouth may result in an esthetic compromise for patients during the fabrication period. Chairside tooth replacement is an excellent application of fiber-reinforced composite resin technology. This article presents an innovative, affordable chairside procedure in which Ribbond Multi-Purpose Bondable Reinforcement Ribbon is used to replace a single extracted anterior tooth using the patient's own tooth.

Dimensional alterations of the gingiva related to changes of facial/lingual tooth position in permanent anterior teeth of children

Abstract Maxillary and mandibular anterior permanent teeth in 38 children aged 7–12 years were examined 2 × with an interval of 2 years to determine whether spontaneous facial/lingual tooth position changes were related to alterations of the widths of keratinized and attached gingiva and the clinical crown height. Measurements included dental plaque, gingival inflammation, probing depth, and width of keratinized and attached gingiva. In addition, study casts from the baseline and 2-year examinations were used to measure clinical crown height and tooth position. The results showed that significant alterations in the widths of the keratinized and attached gingiva took place when the teeth changed positions in facial or lingual directions. The changes in gingival widths could to some extent be coupled to changes in clinical crown height. In teeth moving lingually, the gingival widths increased and the clinical crown height decreased. In teeth moving facially, the gingival widths decreased, and the facial gingiva sometimes receded. These gingival alterations call for examination of the facial gingiva as part of the monitoring of the development of the permanent dentition.     

Modified Scleral Flap Incision to Reduce Corneal Astigmatism after Intraocular Lens Implantation

To investigate a simple method during extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in order to reduce surgically induced corneal astigmatism.Methods: A modified scleral flap incision was used in the extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and the postoperative changes in conreal astigmatism was observed.Results: The peak value of postoperative corneal astigmatism was 3. 60 D, and the corneal astigmatism regression was 2. 11 D, surgically induced astigmatism was less significant in modified scleral flap incision group than that in conventional limbal incison group (P<0. 05).Conclusions: The modified scleral flap incision is an ideal incision for cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation when phacoemulsifier is not available.

螺旋CT三维重建在上颌骨正畸埋伏牙诊断中的临床应用

目的评价CT三维重建在上颌骨正畸埋伏牙中的诊断价值。方法对常规口腔全景片和咬合片不能清楚判断的47例上颌骨内埋伏牙患者行螺旋CT扫描和图像三维重建,并采用多平面重建(MPR)、三维牙体表面成像(SSD)及上颌骨和牙体容积成像(VR)显示埋伏牙的形态、位置及与邻牙的关系。结果47例均清楚显示了埋伏牙的形态、唇腭向位置、萌出方向及与邻牙的关系,MPR可测出埋伏牙的高度,SSD能清晰地显示骨内埋伏牙的形态、在牙列唇侧或腭侧的位置及与牙列牙根的关系,VR可展现埋伏牙的萌出方向及与邻牙的空间关系。结论SSD和VR成像对上颌骨埋伏牙可互为补充,立体直观地、完整地显示其病理解剖关系,是一种准确有效的检查方法。

Haemodynamics as a determinant of the pharmacokinetics of and the plasma catecholamine responses to isoprenaline

Summary The total body clearance and fractional extraction of isoprenaline (ISO) have been determined, and the relation between these parameters and cardiac output established. Whether desipramine, an inhibitor of neuronal uptake, altered the plasma catecholamine response to ISO was also investigated.Seven healthy subjects were given i.v., infusions of ISO in two, consecutive 25-min periods, at constant dose rates of 31–43 and 80–124 pmol·kg^–1·min^–1, respectively. The total-body (ER), pulmonary (ER_p) and forearm (ER_f) fractional extractions and the total body clearance (CL) of ISO were obtained from measurements of cardiac output and the steady-state ISO concentration in mixed central venous, arterial and forearm venous plasma.ISO-induced increases in cardiac output resulted in increases in CL, decreases in ER and no consistent change in ER_f. ER_p did not differ from zero. ISO also produced a dose-dependent increase in the mixed venous plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG), and a decrease in that of adrenaline. Pretreatment with desipramine did not alter any of the pharmacokinetic parameters of ISO. Desipramine, however, reduced the mixed venous baseline plasma levels of noradrenaline (47%) and DOPEG (40%), and tended to reduce that of adrenaline (34%). It enhanced the plasma noradrenaline response 2.4-fold, abolished the plasma DOPEG response and did not alter the plasma adrenaline response to ISO.Hence, owing to its haemodynamic effects, ISO modifies its own pharmacokinetics which involve non-neuronal removal processes only. The increased DOPEG in plasma resulting from the ISO-induced increase in noradrenaline release was presynaptic in origin. Desipramine appears to reduce sympathetic activity. The enhancement by desipramine of the ISO-induced increase in plasma noradrenaline points towards recapture by neuronal uptake of at least 58% of the noradrenaline released in response to ISO.     

Histometric study of root resorption on human premolars following experimental replantation

Abstract – A histometric method was applied for evaluation of root resorption in 57 experimentally replanted teeth and 22 controls. Representative axiobuccolingual sections were selected for measurement of resorptions at a magnification of × 40. The frequency of root resorption in the control teeth was low. In replanted teeth marked resorptive activity elicited by the trauma appeared after 2 wk. The extent of active resorptions increased until the third postoperative week. On an average 14% of the root periphery was affected at this stage. After the sixth postoperative week progressive cement deposition took place in the resorption lacunae. Incidental ankylosis of the periodontal membrane also occurred from this observation time but there was no increase among the long-term groups.
