CHEN Ya-wen,WANG Hai-Cheng, DONG Wei-jie. 2018, 34(9): 952-955.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.09.008 Abstract ( 351 )   PDF (2182KB) ( 155 )   Objective: To detect the expression of the isoforms of fibronectin (FN) variable splicing subtype protein in radicular cysts, and to study the ability of each subtype in inducing osteoclasts in vitro, and to analyze the association of these isoforms with osteoclastogenesis. Methods: Specimens from 8 patients with radicular cysts were selected. Immunohistochemistry was used to study the expression of each isoforms in the fibrous capsule. Fibroblasts were isolated from surgical samples, the mRNA levels of each isoform and total FN were detected by RT-PCR, and the conditioned medium was collected to induce the osteoclasts in vitro. The association between FN isoforms and osteoclastogenesis was analyzed. Results: In the fibrous capsule of radicular cysts, FN containing the extra domain A (EDA+FN) was stained more intense than EDB+FN and CS1-FN. Consistently, the mRNA level of EDA+FN was also significantly higher than that of EDB+FN (P=0.007) and CS1-FN (P=0.003) in the fibroblasts. The ratio of EDA+FN/total FN was also the highest among three isoforms (EDB+FN/total FN,P<0.001 and CS1-FN/total FN, P<0.001). Only EDA+FN/total FN was positively associated with the Trap+MNC numbers induced by the conditioned medium (n=8, R=0.776, P=0.024). Conclusion: The fibroblasts in the fibrous capsule of radicular cysts generate various FN isoforms, in which EDA+FN consisted of the majority and positively associated the oste- oclastogenesis induced by fibroblasts. It is suggested that the fibroblasts within the stroma made the microenvironment favourable to the bone destruction of radicular cysts. References | Related Articles | Metrics

At different time points, the water absorption of the n-HA/PVA scaffolds was greater than that of the antler powder/PVA scaffolds. However, the antler powder/PVA scaffolds had longer duration of water absorption. The compression resistance of two groups was not different (P=0.243). However, the toughness of antler power/PVA scaffold was better than that of n-HA/PVA scaffolds, and the cell compatibility was the same. Conclusion: Antler powder/PVA scaffolds have good mechanical properties and cell compatibilities, which can be used as a new direction to study the xenogeneic scaffolds.

Clinical Evaluation of NiTi Rotary Instrument in Root Canal Therapy of Primary Molars. MA Xiao-wei. 2018, 34(9): 1016-1018.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.09.023 Abstract ( 301 )   PDF (771KB) ( 194 )   Objective: To explore the clinical effects of NiTi rotary instruments and manual stainless steel instruments in root canal therapy of primary molars. Methods: Ninety children (90 teeth) who received root canal therapy in their mandibular primary second molars in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Shenyang Children’s Hospital, from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected. The primary molars were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group, with 45 molars in each group. ProTaper NiTi Rotary instruments were used in the experimental group and manual stainless steel K-files were used in the control group. The time of root canal preparation, the quality of root filling, and the pain after preparation were compared. Results: In contrast to control group, the experimental group had shorter root canal preparation time, higher root canal filling rate, and lower incidence of pain after root canal preparation (P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical application of ProTaper NiTi Rotary instruments in primary molar root canal therapy is worth of recommendation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Evaluation on Identification of Second Mesiobuccal Canals in Maxillary Molars through Oral Microscope. GAO Ya-fan, HE Qin, CHEN Su-lei, ZHA Ming-zhu, YANG Wei-dong. 2018, 34(9): 1019-1022.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.09.024 Abstract ( 242 )   PDF (793KB) ( 239 )   Objective: To evaluate the effect of oral microscope on the identification of the second mesiobuccal canal in maxillary molars. Methods: The study sample consisted of 80 extracted maxillary molars, which were subjected to CBCT detection. The teeth were opened under naked eye to identify MB2 canal, and then visualized under oral microscope again. The accuracy with naked eyes and microscope was compared, and the false positive and false negative root canal types were analyzed. Results: CBCT showed 51.25% of MB2 canal in maxillary molars. When compared to naked eye (26.25%), the oral microscope (42.50%) improved the detection rate of MB2 canal. The discovery rate and sensitivity of the microscope were significantly higher than those of the naked eye, while the false positive rate and false negative rate under the microscope were significantly lower than those of the naked eye. There was no significant difference between different teeth. The MB2 of some long oval canals is still difficult to judge under the microscope. Conclusion: The application of microscope can improve the accuracy of root canal positioning. The combined use of microscope and CBCT has a high clinical value on the long oval canals.

Three Mesial Canals in Mandibular First Molar: 3 Case Reports. LU Jing, LU Zhao-jie, JIANG Xing 2018, 34(9): 1023-1025.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.09.025 Abstract ( 278 )   PDF (1525KB) ( 353 )   This paper describes three cases of mandibular first molar with three mesial canals. The anatomical variation in the root canal system should be considered during the treatment. The root canal orifices should be carefully explored to decrease the most possible chance of missing extra canal and enhance the successful rate of root canal treatment. The available of dental operating microscope increases the chance to find the mesial canal. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Auriculotemporal Giant Cell Granuloma: 1 Case Report. ZHANG Qi, LI Yu-lin, MA Dong-yang. 2018, 34(9): 1026-1028.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.09.026 Abstract ( 290 )   PDF (1728KB) ( 241 )   Objective: To explore the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and treatment of giant cell granuloma. Methods: The diagnosis and treatment of one case of auriculotemporal giant cell granuloma treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Lanzhou Military Region General Hospital in March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. And the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results: Giant cell granuloma was a rare non-neoplastic benign lesion with local invasiveness. Histopathological features were fibrous of proliferated collagen tissue, where multicore giant cells and hemosiderin could be seen, and more inflammatory cells infiltrated. Conclusion: Giant cell granuloma is a kind of non-tumor pathological change. It is rare in clinical and difficult to diagnose, which needs the combination of clinical and pathological analysis. Postoperative radiotherapy is an effective treatment method after the complete remove of lesion part. References | Related Articles | Metrics
