Endocrown CHEN Zhi, CHEN Rui-tian. 2018, 34(1): 1-5.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.01.001 Abstract ( 1738 )   PDF (1366KB) ( 1522 )   Endocrown was defined as a restoration fixed to a depulped tooth, which was anchored to the internal portion of the pulp chamber and to the cavity margins, thus obtaining macromechanical retention (provided by the pulpal walls), and microretention (by using adhesive cementation). As the development of restorative materials and adhesive techniques, endocrown received increasing attention due to its minimal tooth preparation and reduced chair-side time. This paper reviewed recent researches about endocrown in the aspect of its definition, indications, tooth preparation, materials, and performance compared to crown and post-and-core crown.

Methods: DDIT3 overexpression lentiviral construct was confirmed by sequencing. Generation of lentiviral vectors was accomplished using a three-plasmid transfection procedure. Cells were allocated into three groups: HDPCs-WT group, HDPCs-GFP group, and HDPCs-DDIT3-overexpression group. Expression of DDIT3 was quantified by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation and osteogenic/odontoblastic differentiation were detected by MTT, qRT-PCR, ALP staining, Alizarin red staining, and von Kossa staining. Results: A lentiviral vector system was used to efficiently overexpress DDIT3 in primary HDPCs to levels >90%. It was found that DDIT3 mRNA was overexpressed over 38-fold. MTT assay revealed DDIT3 overexpression reduced HDPC proliferation by 72 and 96 hours compared to control groups. DDIT3 overexpression led to no significant difference in ALP staining area after 7 days culture in odontoblastic medium. However, DDIT3 overexpression enhanced calcium deposition by day 14, as examined by alizarin red and von Kossa staining. qRT-PCR results revealed that DDIT3 overexpression did not affect ALP and RUNX2 mRNA levels, however, it significantly increased OSX, DSPP, DMP1, and OCN mRNA levels by day 14. Western blot analysis revealed that DSPP protein levels were higher in the HDPCs-DDIT3-overexpression group. Conclusion: Lipid metabolism related gene DDIT3 may correlate with HDPCs late osteogenic/odontoblastic differentiation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Application of Platelet Rich-Fibrin in Posterior Immediate Implantations: A Case Report ZHOU Jing, SUN Xiao-lin, QI Man-lin, DING Xin-xin, LI Xue, ZHOU Yan-min 2018, 34(1): 92-93.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.01.023 Abstract ( 288 )   PDF (1411KB) ( 341 )   Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of platelet rich-fibrin (PRF) on immediate implantation in the fresh extraction sites of posterior teeth. Methods: After posterior tooth was extracted, one implant was placed into the fresh extraction site. The PRF clot as grafting materials was packed into the space between the implant and the fresh extraction site to regenerate the bone and periodontal tissue. Results: The radiograph demonstrated that the space around the implant was filled with a dense bone-like tissue. The width of keratinized tissue was greater than 2mm. Conclusion: PRF could serve as a viable material for tissue regeneration around immediately placed implant in the posterior region. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Research Status and Perspectives of Biomechanical Signals for Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells SUN Ling-lu, SU Xue-lian, HE Xiao-lan, BAO Guang-jie, KANG Hong 2018, 34(1): 94-96.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.01.024 Abstract ( 350 )   PDF (807KB) ( 377 )   Because of multidirectional differentiating potentials, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are considered as an important source of seed cells in tissue engineering. However, how to induce BMSCs into the target cells is challenging. Biomechanical signals can affect the differentiation of BMSCs by multiple ways such as loading types, intensity, frequency, and duration time of stress. The degree and directions of differentiation of MSCs are dependent on the interaction of BMSCs-extracellular matrix (ECM), cytoskeleton reorganization and reconstruction, integrin signal pathway and ion channels change, and focal adhesion formation in the process of cell transduction.

Progress of Application and Research on Antioxidants and Periodontitis WEN Jing-yu, HE Hong-bing, REN Xiao-bin, JIANG Jie 2018, 34(1): 97-99.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.01.025 Abstract ( 371 )   PDF (799KB) ( 496 )   Periodontitis is one of the most popular diseases in oral cavity. Many researches have indicated that excess reactive oxygen species that resulted in oxidative stress might have a close relationship with periodontitis. Antioxidants can decrease the level of oxidative stress by effectively suppressing reactive oxygen species generation, thereby suggesting their potential usefulness for the treatment of periodontitis. In order to provide a reference for further investigation, the production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, the pathological mechanism of periodontitis, and the application of antioxidants in periodontitis were reviewed in this article.
