Oral Microbiota Diversity and Bacterial Genomic Polymorphism. GE Linhu, SU Hanfu 2019, 35(10): 915-918.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.10.001 Abstract ( 480 )   PDF (950KB) ( 423 )   Oral microbiota is the combination of all bacteria living in oral cavity. Recent evidence showed that oral microbiota not only plays key role on oral diseases such as periodontitis and dental caries, but also is associated with systemic diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Oral microbiota differs in both bacterial population (diversity) and bacterial genomes (polymorphism) among individuals, which are important factors that impact diseases development. This paper reviews recent progress in understanding of oral microbiota in the aspect of diversity and polymorphism, and their roles in disease development. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Progress on Mechanism for the Effect of Estrogen on Periodontal Tissues LI Zhibang, LI Kun 2019, 35(10): 928-930.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.10.005 Abstract ( 282 )   PDF (768KB) ( 317 )   The discovery of estrogen receptors in periodontal tissue provides direct evidence that estrogen is associated with periodontal health. Current studies also show that estrogen has effect on both innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Estrogen is protective on alveolar bone, and estrogen deficiency may lead to decrease of alveolar bone density and teeth loss. Estrogen can also influence the function of periodontal ligament stem cells. Exploring the mechanism of estrogen on periodontal tissues is helpful for further clarifying the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, and it is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of estrogen-related periodontal diseases as well.

MU Zhixiang, LIU Ting, CHEN Tao, WANG Chao, HUANG Yuanding 2019, 35(10): 931-935.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.10.006 Abstract ( 276 )   PDF (2395KB) ( 290 )   Objective: To compare two fixed prosthesis treatment concepts supported by four implants in an atrophic maxilla. Methods: Two different treatment concept models were constructed. The conventional group was two mesial vertical implants in the lateral incisor regions and two distal tilted (45°) implants in the second premolar regions of the maxilla. The modified group was two mesial vertical implants in the lateral incisor regions and two short vertical implants in the second premolar regions of the maxilla. Numerical simulation was performed under two loading types. Results: Under the first loading type, the conventional group showed a higher stress concentration than the modified group in the bones. For the implants, the peak of von-Mises stress of the conventional group was lower than that of the modified group. Under the second loading type, the conventional group showed higher stress concentrations than the modified group, either on the bones or on the implants. Conclusion: Both treatment concepts can be applied in edentulous maxilla. Compared to the conventional group, the modified group can transmit less occlusal force to the supporting tissues.

Methods: The designed implants including full-thread and delete-thread implant were placed in proximal tibial metaphysis of rabbits. The animals were sacrificed at 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, and 60 days after surgery, and undecalcified tissue sections were prepared for SEM. The finite element models of implants and tibia metaphysis were installed and the process of implantation was simulated by computer-aided design software. The von Mises stress in peri-implant bone were recorded and analyzed. Results: The surrounding bone within 0.75 mm from surface of implant in full-thread implant group exhibited higher von Mises stress than delete-thread implant. The SEM images indicated that the number and morphological of osteocytes between two groups of implants at 7 days and 14 days were significantly different. Conclusion: The FEA can simulate the stress distribution on peri-implant bone in the initial state after implantation. The biological activity of osteocyte may be closely related to the stress state, which demonstrated a better response to stress stimuli in early stage of osseointegration and changes of number and morphology of osteocyte.

LI Zhijin, WENG Yanming, ZHOU Ronghua, DU Jiao, XIONG Caihua, DONG Qingshan, GUO Jiaping 2019, 35(10): 948-952.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.10.010 Abstract ( 338 )   PDF (3894KB) ( 272 )   Objective: To explore the management of nasopalatine canal associated with implant placement in maxillary central sites and assess the efficacy and safety. Method: A case series retrospective study was performed between July 2016 and June 2018 of patients who were treated with implants in maxillary central incisor sites. The inclusion criteria were that cases with perforation into the nasopalatine canal during the digital treatment planning and implant osteotomy. According to the size of the perforation, different approaches were adopted to facilitate the implant placement in the compromised sites. The following parameters were assessed: neurosensory status of the anterior palate, postoperative pain and implant survival rate. Results:Of the 48 patients (71 implant sites), a total of 10 patients (10 implant sites) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Osseointegration was achieved in all of the 10 implants. Only one patient reported minor sensory alterations in the anterior palatal zone after implant placement, which disappeared in 3 months. At the final examination (follow-up of 6-18 months), no fixtures had been lost, and no marginal bone loss exceeding 1 mm was observed at the mesial and distal aspects of any implant, and all peri-implant tissues had a healthy appearance. Conclusion: The morphology and dimensions of the nasopalatine canal should be properly evaluated prior to dental implant insertion to replace missing maxillary central incisors. If penetration into the nasopalatine duct cannot be avoided during the osteotomy following the principle of prosthetically driven implant placement in the maxillary central incisor site, proper approaches could be adopted according to the size of the penetration, and predictable effects of rehabilitation of the atrophied premaxilla could be obtained.
