    2021, 37(9): 783-786.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.003
    Abstract ( 964 )   PDF (806KB) ( 1513 )  
    After the bone defect reaches a certain range and distance, the body cannot repair itself, that is, the critical bone defect, which requires autogenous bone transplantation, allogeneic bone transplantation or bone tissue engineering to repair. Animal models of bone defects are often used to evaluate the regeneration capacity of bone substitute biomaterials in bone tissue engineering. This article summarizes the animal bone defect models commonly used in recent years and their current research directions, and focuses on oral animal bone defect models.

    SHAN Yuhua, CHEN Zhenqi
    2021, 37(9): 787-790.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.004
    Abstract ( 223 )   PDF (1409KB) ( 276 )  
    β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), as bone graft material, has excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. Immune response plays an important role in determining the internal outcome of β-TCP. β-TCP, as a foreign body, is recognized by the immune system and triggers different behavior patterns of immune cells, thus affecting the formation of new bone. It is helpful to understand the influence of immune environment and osteogenesis induced by β-TCP. In order to explore the optimal immune environment that provides balance between osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis for osseointegration, this paper reviews the research of β-TCP in the field of bone immunology.

    ZHUANG Qianzhi, WU Xiuping
    2021, 37(9): 791-793.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.005
    Abstract ( 204 )   PDF (781KB) ( 218 )  
    Mandibular condylar cartilage is a secondary fibrocartilage, the regulation of which may be more complex. Only in the last decade or so has there been a growing body of research on the growth and development of condylar cartilage, both in China and abroad. Parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) is a key regulator of cartilage metabolism and is widely involved in the process of cartilage growth and remodeling, morphogenesis, and osteogenesis within the cartilage. Similar to limb cartilages, PTHrP plays a key role in the growth and development of mandibular condylar cartilage. Deeply understanding the regulatory mechanism of PTHrP signaling and related factors during the development of condylar cartilage can further clarify the effect of PTHrP on the growth and development of temporomandibular joint, which has important guiding significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews the mechanism of PTHrP in the growth and development of mandibular condylar cartilage.

    2021, 37(9): 800-804.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.007
    Abstract ( 200 )   PDF (807KB) ( 256 )  
    Objective: To compare the effects of different repair materials on the curative effect and microleakage of elderly patients with root caries. Methods: One hundred and fourteen elderly patients with root caries who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups with 57 cases each. The control group was repaired with light-curing composite resin, and the observation group was repaired with glass ionomer cement. The clinical efficacy, microleakage, periodontal indicators, and inflammatory factor levels in gingival crevicular fluid were compared. Results: The treatment success rate of the control group was 91.22%, which was not statistically different from the observation group's 94.74% (P>0.05). The observation group's microleakage rate was 3.51%, which was lower than the control group's 8.94% (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in GCF volume and GCF probe depth between two groups before repair (P>0.05). After treatment, the GCF volume and GCF probe depth of two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the GCF volume and GCF probe depth of control group were higher than those of observation group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in gingival crevicular fluid between two groups before repair (P>0.05). After repair, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in the two groups were significantly increased, and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP-2 in the control group were higher than those in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Glass ionomer cement repair and light-curing composite resin repair have the same success rate in the treatment of elderly patients with root caries, but the glass ionomer cement repair has a lower rate of microleakage and has a smaller effect on the periodontal indicators and gingival sulcus inflammatory factors.

    XUE Yuan, LI Xia
    2021, 37(9): 814-819.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.010
    Abstract ( 184 )   PDF (2889KB) ( 227 )  
    Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of positioning and clearing the calcified root canals by a root canal guide by simulating the calcified root canals of the maxillary first molars in vitro. Methods: Twenty four extracted maxillary first molars were selected (excluding MB2, the total number of root canals was 72). For set A, CBCT was taken before all root canals were prepared and obturated to simulate calcified root canals. CBCT was taken again (set B) to analyze whether the establishment of the simulated calcified root canal model was successful. After confirming, for all simulated calcified root canals, Eguide implant software was used to design and print a 3D guide plate to locate the calcified root canal orifices of maxillary first molars (set C). ET20 ultrasound tip was used to locate the orifices of root canals according to the guide plate. The calcified root canals were cleared to 2mm below the root canal orifices (set D). The mimics 21.0 software was used to measure the difference between the maximum mesio-distal and bucco-lingual diameters at 2mm below the root canal orifices in sets A and B. The matic 13.0 software was used to measure the mesio-distal, buccal-lingual, corono-apical, and anglular deviations between the B, C, and D sets at the level of the root canal orifices and 2 mm below the root canal orifices. Results: The 3D printing technology assisted in positioning and clearing the simulated calcified root canal orifice of the maxillary first molar successfully. The difference between sets A and B was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The 3D printing technology assisted in positioning and clearing the simulated calcified root canal orifice of the maxillary first molar successfully. There were no statistical differences in the three-dimensional and angular deviations between sets B, C, and D (P>0.05). Conclusion: (1) The method of simulating root canal calcification in this experiment is feasible and may be applied to subsequent experiments. (2) The method of using 3D printed guides to locate and clear calcified root canals is highly accurate, and provides a preliminary experimental basis for the 3D printed guides in the mouth to guide the clearing of calcified root canals of molars.

    ZHOU Wei, TANG Ya, LI Houxuan, CHEN Bin, YAN Fuhua
    2021, 37(9): 825-829.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.09.012
    Abstract ( 234 )   PDF (1419KB) ( 404 )  
    Objective: To observe the prognostic factors of periodontal-derived combined periodontal-endodontic lesions. Methods: A retrospective analysis was used to analyze the clinical trial data of 74 teeth with combined periodontal-endodontic lesions treated by the same physician in the Periodontology Department of Nanjing Stomatological Hospital in China from 2013 to 2015. The teeth were divided into two groups according to tooth retention. Age, sex, follow-up time, periodontal clinical examination index at baseline and 5-year follow-up, and other factors affecting prognosis were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier test and log-rank method were used to evaluate the survival rate of teeth. Results: The overall survival rate of 74 teeth was 44.1%, and the 5-year survival rate was 52.5%. There was no significant difference in survival rates between gender, dental arch, and tooth position. There were significant differences between two groups in the follow-up times, mean probing depth (PD), mean attachment loss (AL), and maximum AL at baseline. The tooth survival rate between cases with average PD≤5 mm and PD>5 mm, and cases with average AL≤6 mm and AL>6 mm were statistically different. There were statistical differences regarding teeth mobility (TM), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), average PD value, maximum PD value, and maximum AL value at 5-year follow-up compared to the baseline. Conclusion: For periodontal-derived combined periodontal-endodontic lesions, the short-term effect is predictable, but the long-term prognosis is poor. The average damage of periodontal supporting tissues and patient compliance are important factors that affect the survival time of teeth.
