Methods: The pulp tissues were cultured with 5% HPL and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and the in vitro osteogenic ability of the cells was detected by the alizarin red and ALP staining. Four 8-mm-diameter round bone defects were prepared on the skull of 10 male Japanese white rabbits, and the rabbits were divided into four groups. In group A, the DPSC with 10% FBS was inoculated in the gelatin sponge (GS). In group B, the DPSCs with 5% HPL were inoculated in the GS. Group C was only GS, and group D was blank control. Micro-CT three-dimensional reconstruction and HE staining were used to observe the osteogenic effect 4 and 8 weeks after operation. Results: The results of alizalin red and ALP staining showed that 5%HPL medium significantly promoted the formation of calcium nodules and the expression of ALP in osteogenic differentiation of hPDSCs (P<0.000 1). The imaging results showed that there was a small amount of new bone formation in group A and B at 4 weeks and a large number of new bones at 8 weeks. The osteogenic effect of group C and D was not obvious, and the bone ability of group B was stronger than that of group A. Histologic observation showed that new bone formation was found in group A and B at 4 and 8 weeks, but there was no obvious new bone area in group C and D at 4 and 8 weeks.

Methods: A total of 215 anticoagulant patients were included in the study, and 98 patients were included in the maintaining anticoagulant group, with the average preoperative international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.56±0.45. There were 117 patients in the low-molecular weight heparin bridging group, with an INR average of 1.52±0.21 on the day of operation. Each patient had no more than three teeth extracted. Local hemostatic agents (Avitene ©) and suturing of the wound were used in both groups. Results: There were 7 patients (7.14%) in the maintaining anticoagulation group and 5 patients (4.27%) in the low-molecular weight heparin bridging group who had mild to moderate postoperative bleeding (P=0.361). Patients with mild bleeding were controlled by local compression and local hemostatic agents. For patients with uncontrolled bleeding, vitamin K could be injected or fresh frozen plasma could be infused. None of the participants in either group experienced thromboembolic complications within a month after operation. Conclusion: For patients received anticoagulant therapy with simple tooth extraction, there is no obvious difference in the incidence of postoperative bleeding and postoperative thromboembolic events on maintaining anticoagulation and low molecular heparin bridge. In view of the consequences of thromboembolic complications, such patients can safely keep anticoagulant therapy and no need for low molecular heparin bridging therapy during tooth extraction.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the maxillofacial solitary fibroma, which was included in the pathological database of Nanjing Stomatological Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University from June 2015 to June 2019. The clinical data, imaging data, pathological data, treatment methods, and follow-up data of the patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 8 patients were diagnosed as solitary fibrous tumor in oral and maxillofacial region by postoperative pathology. Of the 2 patients whose postoperative pathology was low grade malignant tumor, 1 had recurrence in other hospital, but no recurrence was found in our hospital at present, and 1 patient had recurrence in postoperative follow-up. Conclusion: Complete resection is the first choice for the treatment of solitary fibroma of maxillofacial region. When it is found that solitary fibroma of the maxillofacial area is prone to soft tissue masses and the imaging enhancement is obvious, the possibility of solitary fibroma should be considered, and the final diagnosis should rely on pathological and immunohistochemical examination. Clinically, patients should be alerted to the invasive or malignant solitary fibroma of the maxillofacial region. Patients should be followed up closely after surgery, and timely surgery should be carried out if recurrence exists. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Preparation and Performance of Superhydrophobic Gel Nano-coating on Enamel Surface JIN Xiaoting, SHI Shi, CHEN Huanhuan, XUE Dong, MA Jianfeng 2020, 36(6): 585-590.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.06.019 Abstract ( 236 )   PDF (2661KB) ( 237 )   Objective: To investigate the preparation and performance of superhydrophobic gel nano-coating on enamel surface. Methods: A sol-gel method was used to prepare a trimethylsilyl-modified dopamine-silicone gel (DSTM) superhydrophobic coating. Several 4 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm enamel blocks of bovine tooth were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, which were treated separately by DSTM and deionized water. The effect of coating superhydrophobicity was evaluated by the contact angle. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to assess the microstructure of the coating surface and analyze the composition of the tooth surface coating. The cell toxicity and biological safety were tested by CCK-8 colorimetry. In order to evaluate the stability of the hydrophobic coating in the oral environment, the coated enamel mass was immersed in artificial saliva at 37 ℃ for 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 10 h, and 12 h and then observed the contact angle and surface microstructure changes. Results: The contact angle of dental tablets was (60.20±4.56)°, while that of the experimental group was (153.88±2.81)° (P<0.05). Under the SEM observation, the coating surface was composed of interconnected micrometers and nanopores that form a three-dimensional nano-network structure. The XPS and FT-IR showed that the DSTM coating on the tooth surface was successfully prepared. Among the detection values at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, the OD values of all groups were comparable to the blank group values. The results of the coating stability experiment showed that the sample still had superhydrophobic properties with a contact angle value of (149.40±2.43)° after being soaked in artificial saliva for 12 h. However, there was no significant changes in the micro-morphology of the micropores and micro-nano structures from the SEM of the saliva-treated coating. Conclusion: In this experiment, a DSTM gel coating was successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. The coating with good biological safety and hydrophobicity has certain stability in a 37 ℃ artificial saliva environment, which provided a basis for the new anti-caries materials.

Preparation of Yolk Antibody Sustained-release Nano-hydroxyapatite and Its Antibacterial Properties WANG Tengfei, XU Yan, XU Hanying, HAN Xu, SHEN Jilong, CHENG Ting 2020, 36(6): 591-594.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.06.020 Abstract ( 202 )   PDF (1302KB) ( 167 )   Objective: To prepare nano-hydroxyapatite composite with the sustained release function of egg yolk antibody and test in vitro antibacterial properties. Methods: The morphology and particle size of nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-hydroxyapatite, NHA) were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The nano-hydroxyapatite was loaded with the anti-porphyromonas gingivalis (anti-P. gingival-IgY) and the drug release behavior of the IgY-NHA composite was studied. Porphyromonas gingival (Pg) was selected as the experimental strain to study the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of IgY-NHA composite. The growth inhibitory effect of IgY-NHA composite on P.gingival was studied to evaluate the antibacterial properties of delayed release of IgY nano-hydroxyapatite. Results: NHA was a porous structure composed of granular nanostructures. With the increase of loading concentration of IgY, the adsorption capacity of NHA increased significantly. When the loading concentration of IgY was 4 g/L, the adsorption capacity was 653 mg/g. Within 36 h, IgY protein was released slowly and continuously. The final release percentage was 34%, the minimum inhibitory concentration of IgY-NHA to P.gingival was 6 g/L. IgY-NHA could delay the time point of P.gingival entering the logarithmic growth period and inhibit P.gingival growth, which was concentration dependent. Conclusion: Nano-hydroxyapatite has good adsorption and sustained-release properties for yolk antibody, and IgY-NHA can inhibit the proliferation of P. gingival.

Effect of Masking Treatment on Structure Surface on Adhesion Properties between Zirconia and Resin GAO Nan, WEI Yuhe, JIANG Xiao, LU Wei 2020, 36(6): 595-598.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.06.021 Abstract ( 193 )   PDF (1524KB) ( 223 )   Objective: To investigate the effect of masking treatment on the adhesion between zirconia ceramics and resin. Methods: Zirconia specimens were made and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, immersion dyeing group, and immersion dyeing masking group. Each group was randomly divided into 2 subgroups, with or without silane coupling agent. The contact angles of specimens were tested. The specimens were bonded with the resin cement. The shear bond strength was tested after 24 hours and the interface fracture mode was observed. Results: There was no statistical difference in contact angle and fracture mode between the groups. There was no difference in the bonding strength between the immersion dyeing group and the control group. The bonding strength of the immersion dyeing-masking group was significantly lower than those of other two groups. Subgroups coated with a silane coupling agent had significantly higher bonding strength than those without coating. Conclusion: The immersion dyeing has no significant effect on the bonding strength between zirconia ceramics and resins. The masking treatment after immersion dyeing can reduce the bonding strength between zirconia ceramics and resins. Coating silane coupling agents can significantly enhance the zirconia ceramics and resins bonding strength. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Study on Root Resorption of Mandibular Second Molars with Long Distance Mesialization PAN Enjiu, DU Qingling, ZHU Jiejing, ZOU Mingyuan, GONG Guoliang, LIN Xinping 2020, 36(6): 603-606.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.06.023 Abstract ( 253 )   PDF (1054KB) ( 240 )   Objective: To explore the root resorption of mandibular second molars after long distance (≥5mm) mesialization. Methods: A total of 45 mandibular second molars in 36 completed cases were retrospectively analyzed. The root length and axis inclination angle of the orthodontic molars were measured by direct digital panorama. According to the initial axial inclination of the molars, they were divided into group A (axial inclination <86.42°) and group B (axial inclination ≥86.42°). According to the change of axial inclination, they were divided into group C (change <10°) and group D (change ≥10°). The root resorption was calculated and the effect of axis inclination on root resorption was analyzed. Results: The root length was shortened (P<0.01). The mesial and distal root resorption values were approximately (P>0.05). The average root resorption was (0.97±0.40) mm. There was no significant difference between group A and group B in root resorption (P>0.05). Group C and group D had statistical significance only in the amount of distal root resorption (P<0.05). Conclusion: The root resorption of mandibular second molars after long distance mesialization is small and generally has no clinical significance. The change of axial inclination of the molars has a certain effect on the root resorption of the distal root. Orthodontic treatment should be started as soon as possible after the molar loss.
