    Abstract ( 410 )   PDF (1474KB) ( 315 )  
    Objective: To study the effects of streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins on the surface morphology and the mechanical properties of porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g). Methods: Standard strains ATCC10556 and ATCC33277 were recovered and extended. Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins was extracted by low temperature high-speed centrifugation and ultrasonic broken. Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins was affected with P.g at 37℃ and anaerobic cultured for 48h. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to observe the microstructure of Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins on P.g. Through the force-distance curve, the Young's modulus and adhesion of Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins on P.g were calculated. Results: AFM showed that Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins could reduce the diameter of P.g, rise the average roughness and average peak height (P<0.05). After Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins on P.g, the adhesion and the Young's modulus of P.g reduced significantly (P<0.001). The adhesion and the Young's modulus of P.g were (0.7±0.1)nN and (5.54±0.16)Mpa. After Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins on P.g, the adhesion and the Young's modulus of P.g were 0.50± 0.1nN and 3.97±0.64Mpa. Conclusion: Streptococcus sanguis bacteriocins can change the morphology of P.g and reduce the adhesion and the Young's modulus of P.g.

    Objective: To study the effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength between PEEK and veneer resin. Methods: One hundred and sixty PEEK samples were prepared and randomly divided into four groups for surface treat: 98% sulfuric acid etching group, adhesive group, 98% sulfuric etching acid + adhesive group, and control group. Each group was divided into two subgroups of different veneering resins: GC Gradia resin and Ceramage resin. Half of each subgroup was randomly selected and immersed in distilled water at 37℃ for 24 h, and the other half was thermocycled 10000 times. The bond strength of samples was measured in a universal testing machine, and then analyzed by ANOVA and SNK-q test in SPSS software. The failure types were assessed by stereomicroscopy. Results: The highest shear bond strength before and after thermocycling was observed for the group treated with sulfured acid and veneering Ceramage resin(P<0.05). After thermal cycling, all experimental groups showed lower shear bond strength (P<0.05) except sulfuric acid + adhesive treatment group between PEEK and GC Gradia resin. Conclusion: The treatment with 98% sulfuric acid etching or the adhesive both can enhance the shear bond strength between PEEK and veneer resin.

    Objective: To compare the effect of pre-load on surface microstructure and cyclic fatigue resistance of K3XF and K3. Methods:Forty-eight K3XF or K3 instruments #25/.06 were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 12). The instruments from group 1 were not pre-loaded, and the group 2 to 4 underwent pre-load for 5s, 10s and 20s by using a simulated metal root canal with curvature of 60° and radius of 3.5 mm, respectively. The surface microstructure of two instruments randomly selected from each group was observed using SEM. Then the remaining 10 instruments were submitted to the cyclic fatigue test using the before mentioned apparatus. The time till fracture was recorded as well as the number of cyclic fatigue (NCF) and the fragment length. The topographic features were analyzed using SEM. The data were analyzed with the Two-Way ANOVA analysis at a significance level of P<0.05 by using SAS 9.3. Results:SEM observation demonstrated obvious flute abrasion, numerous cracks and irregularities on both of the files. However, this kind of destruction was less on K3XF than that on K3. Cyclic fatigue resistance of K3XF significantly decreased from (210±59) to (156±37) after pre-loaded for 20 s (P<0.05). Cyclic fatigue resistance of K3 decreased from (145±38) to (110±27), (101±31) and (62±31) after pre-loaded for 5s, 10s and 20s, respectively (P<0.05). Significant difference was observed between groups (P<0.05) except that between 5s and 10s groups. Conclusion: K3XF exhibits better resistance against pre-load compared to K3.

    Abstract ( 230 )   PDF (1753KB) ( 155 )  
    Objective: To determine if hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) gingival crevicular blood (GCB) could be used to build a predictive model for diabetes. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups based on the history of diabetes and the results of HbAlc in finger-stick blood (FSB). Group 1 was diabetes and Group 2 was without diabetes. FSB and GCB were collected from moderate or severe periodontitis patients with adequate bleeding on probing. Glucose and HbA1c levels were analyzed. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure the correlation between glucose and HbA1c values in FSB and GCB. A receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine an optimal GCB HbA1c criterion value for a positive diabetes screening. Results: The pearson correlation coefficients were 0.993 and 0.926 for FSB and GCB glucose, respectively, and were 0.977 and 0.829 for FSB and GCB HbA1c. The ROC analysis identified a criterion value of 5.7% for the GCB HbA1c test with high sensitivity (100%) and high specificity (95.2%), corresponding to FSB HbA1c values ≥ 6.5% (in the diabetes range). Conclusion: HbA1c in GCB samples may be an acceptable predictor for diabetes screening.

    2017, 33(8): 860-864.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2017.08.015
    Abstract ( 248 )   PDF (2058KB) ( 404 )  
    Objective: To analyze the dynamics and fatigue failure mechanisms of the maxillary canine with normal or funnel-shaped root canal restored by fiber posts using the 3D finite element analysis. Methods: The eye tooth model of two root canals was obtained using the Micro CT scan and Mimics and UG software. The Nastran model was used to mimic the dynamic characteristics of the tooth. Smith-Waston-Topper principal was utilized to predict the fatigue life of the teeth, while the fatigue failure was also analyzed. Results: The fatigue resistance of the root canal with normal profile restored by the fiber posts was superior to that of the funnel-shaped root canal. The position of initial fatigue damage was similar to the position with the maximal principal stress. The threshold of the fatigue safety factors was coincidented with the transverse turning curve after repairment. In the presence of maximal strain, the line stretcher of the perpendicular line of the load was coincidented with the oblique turning curve after repairment. Conclusion: The shelf life of the root canal with normal profile was higher than that of the funnel-shaped root canal restored by the fiber posts. The localization of the maximal principal stress restored by fiber posts was the fatigue region susceptible to the injury. The fatigue failure was mainly induced by the fatigue structural damage and extension of the fatigue crack. The possibility of transverse and oblique fold was not the same under various conditions.

    Abstract ( 275 )   PDF (2216KB) ( 187 )  
    Objective: To evaluate the application value of progressive method for the detection and negotiation of middle mesial (MM) canals of mandibular molars in young and middle-aged patients. Methods: Forty-five mandibular first molars and twenty-five mandibular second molars from 60 patients of 20 to 45 years old were selected. The clinician detected the middle mesial canal in mandibular molars using progressive method. The number of MM canals was recorded and analyzed statistically by chi-square test. The path way of canals was characterized by periapical angulated projection. Results: The detection with naked eye revealed that the presence of MM was three (4.3%), DOM was seven (10.0%), micro-ultrasound technique was fifteen (21.4%) and cone-beam CT combined with micro-ultrasound technique was 17 (24.3%). The statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences between stage four and the first and second stage (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between stage four and the third stage. Among the 17 MM canals, seven showed ''confluent'' anatomy, two showed ''independent'' anatomy, and eight showed ''fin'' anatomy. Conclusion: The four steps progressive method will enhance the ability of dental clinician to locate MM canals in mandibular molars in young and middle-aged patients.

    Abstract ( 273 )   PDF (2665KB) ( 231 )  
    Objective: To compare the fracture loads of metal ceramic crowns (MCCs) composed of cast and milled titanium and MCCs composed of base metal. Methods: Thirty premolar MCCs were fabricated with 3 different metal copings: cast nickel-chromium alloy (Ni group), milled titanium (T1 group) and cast titanium (T2 group). Various geometric dimensions of the MCCs were tested with a laboratory scanner and digital measurement software and then adjusted. All final data were collected and statistically analyzed for confirming the homogeneity among groups. After cemented to identically milled titanium dies, all specimens were subjected to an occlusal loading axially in an universal testing machine until ceramic fracture occurred to measure the fracture load (F). The fractures were characterized using stereomicroscope. The F values were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test. Results: The mean fracture loads were (2348 ± 441)N for Ni group, (2144 ± 501)N for T1 group, and (1823 ± 576)N for T2 group, respectively. No significant differences were observed. Most of the fractures were confined to the palatal third. The chief failure mode for Ni and T1 groups was mixed failure, but it was adhesive failure for T2 group. Conclusion: The fracture resistance of titanium-based MCCs is similar to that of Ni-Cr alloy containing MCCs, and therefore titanium-based MCCs may be a potential alternative to conventional MCCs.

    Abstract ( 238 )   PDF (4322KB) ( 251 )  
    Objective: To investigate the targeting effect of doxorubicin-loading mesoporous magnetic silia nanoparticles (DOX@M-MSNs) on oral squamous carcinomas cells in vitro. Methods: Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), flow cytometry, and laser scanning confocal microscope were used to detect the targeted anti-tumor activity of DOX@M-MSNs against CAL-27. Results: The blank mesoporous magnetic silia nanoparticles showed excellent biocompatibility with cell viability >80% at the maximum tested concentration. With increase of concentration and the going of time, the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation from DOX@M-MSNs was superior to that from free DOX (P<0.05). Flow cytometry showed that DOX@M-MSNs induced higher necrotic rates than free DOX, and with the elapse of time, the necrosis rate increased. Laser scanning confocal microscope showed that the magnetic area of DOX @ M-MSNs in gathered was better than that of non-magnetic regions of the tumor cells through external magnetic field, compared with non-magnetic area, the magnetic area showed a higher cell death. Conclusion: DOX@M-MSNs can selectively recognize oral squamous carcinomas cells, enhance to deliver DOX into the cells, and promote its effect in killing oral squamous carcinomas cells. By applying the magnetic field, the drug delivery efficiency of DOX@M-MSNs can be increased.

    Objective: To evaluate the content of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in whole unstimulated saliva from patients with different types of periodontitis and the relationship between 8-OHdG and clinical parameters. Methods: Whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected from 10 healthy control subjects (H), 10 chronic periondontitis (CP) and 10 aggressive periodontitis (AgP) patients. To determine the clinical condition of each subject, the plaque index (PLI), sulcus bleeding index (BI), clinical attachment level (CAL), and probing depth (PD) were measured. The salivary 8-OHdG level was measured using ELISA method. Results: Higher salivary 8-OHdG level was found among three groups (P<0.05). The results showed that the 8-OHdG levels were in the rank of Agp group > CP group > H group. The 8-OHdG has a relationship with all clinical parameters. In the CP and AgP groups the 8-OHdG has a relationship with CAL. Conclusion: The level of 8-OHdG in salivary indicates the periodontal status and has a relationship with peridontitis type.
