DU Jun, QIU Yanju, WAN Zhe 2022, 38(9): 831-836.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.09.008 Abstract ( 122 )   PDF (1715KB) ( 170 )   Objective: To analyze and explore the influence of the implantation site and axial direction on the fretting degree of the implant when the maxillary central incisor is immediate implantated and immediate loaded with different typing based on the three-dimensional finite element method. Methods: The oral CBCT image data of a healthy adult were referred to establish the three-dimensional finite element model of the maxillary central incisor with three typing (partial lip, intermediate, and partial palate) of immediate implantation and immediate loading. Different implantation site (apical site and partial palatine/labial site) and axial direction (longitudinal axis of tooth and long axis of alveolar bone) were simulated. Stress with different angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) were loaded. ANSYS software was used to analyze the displacement of the implant. Results: Twelve three-dimensional finite element models of the maxillary central incisor with different typing for immediate implantation and immediate loading were successfully established. For partial lip or partial palatine maxillary central incisor with immediate implantation and immediate loading, partial palate along the long axis of the tooth/lip site implantation was easier to obtain smaller fretting degree of the implant. When the intermediate maxillary central incisor is for immediate implantation and immediate loading, it is easier to obtain smaller fretting degree of the implant at the apical site along the long axis of the alveolar bone. Conclusion: Different typing, implantation site, and axial direction will affect the fretting degree of the immediate implantation and immediate loading of the maxillary central incisor. In clinical practice, different surgical plan should be formulated by different typing, implantation site, and axial direction. References | Related Articles | Metrics

JIA Xiangbin, CAO Xiao, ZHANG Yuchen, SUI Yongchao, ZHOU Qin. 2022, 38(9): 837-842.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.09.009 Abstract ( 165 )   PDF (1716KB) ( 176 )   Objective: To measure and compare the accuracy of soft tissue contour recording by different impression methods after temporary restoration of single implant in aesthetic area. Methods: Sixteen patients were enrolled and worn implant-supported temporary crowns for at least 3 months. Digital impression and customized impression were collected. The digital indirect approach model was used as reference model (MR), and the discrepancy of gingival margin and papilla (ΔH), facial mucosa convexity (ΔDFM), and emergence profile (ΔDEP) between digital direct approach model (DS group), customized impression model (MCI group) and reference models were measured and compared. Results: In DS group, compared with MR, the height of gingival margin and papilla decreased gradually over time, ΔH was -0.21~-0.39 mm in average at 4min. The facial mucosa convexity was slightly collapsed at 1mm subgingival (-0.15±0.09)mm at 4 min, and remained stable at 2-3 mm subgingival, the emergence profile also gradually shrank with time, and the ΔDEP in the middle and apical region was significantly greater than that in the coronal region. Compared with the reference model, the height of gingival margin and papilla in MCI was decreased by 0.06-0.27 mm on average, which was similar to DS0.1. The facial mucosa was slightly bulging from the surface of MR (mean 0.03-0.09mm). Emergence profile was also narrowed, and ΔDEP in the apical region was significantly larger than that in the coronal and middle region. Compared with DS0.1, ΔDEP in the labial subgingival 1mm and 2mm of MCI was smaller, and there was no statistical significance in other sites. Conclusion: The error of digital direct approach increased gradually with the scanning time, which implies that the scanning should be completed as soon as possible. There are also errors in the customized impression transfer of peri-implant soft tissue contour. Compared with immediate scanning after removal of IR, the accuracy of recording gingival margin and papilla is similar, but the error of emergence profile is smaller.

DUAN Yonghua, MEI Jian, PAN Liang, LIU Mengshi, GUO Meiling. 2022, 38(9): 843-847.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.09.010 Abstract ( 152 )   PDF (1446KB) ( 160 )   Objective: To explore the effects of short implants on the displacement of implants and the stress and strain of bone tissue under insufficient bone mass in maxillary posterior region based on biomechanical analysis. Methods: A prospective trial was used. A total of 65 patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth who were admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to January 2021 were included as the research subjects. They were divided into research group (n=35) and control group (n=30) according to the bone mass at their implantation sites. Short implants were used for patients with mild osteopenia in the study group, while conventional implants were used for patients with adequate bone mass in the control group. The success rate, retention rate, implant displacement, bone resorption at the neck edge, and bone tissue stress and strain of the two implants in the two groups were compared five years later, and the incidence of complications after restoration was calculated. Results: The success rate and retention rate of implants in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the results of re-examination of bone resorption at the neck edge between two groups at different follow-up stages (P>0.05). The maximum displacement of the implant and the maximum stress of the cortical bone in the short implant model were lower than those in the long implant model, and the maximum stress of the cancellous bone was higher than that in the long implant model. The maximum displacement value of the implant, the maximum strain value of the cancellous bone, and the maximum stress value of the cortical bone will be decreased with the increase of the reduction ratio of the crown. The crowns of the patients in the two groups had no loose, collapse porcelain, and fall off during the follow-up period. There were no complications such as swelling of the implant neck membrane and no bone destruction around the implant. Conclusion: Short implants have the same curative effect as conventional implants, but short implants can reduce the difficulty of implant surgery in the posterior maxillary area to a certain extent. From the biomechanical point of view, proper reduction of crown diameter can promote the reduction of implant displacement and the change of stress value of bone tissue.

Methods: Twenty-three patients with bony mandibular deviation who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and retraction (BSSRO) were selected. The postoperative healing status of the patients was reviewed, and the relationship between the direction of mandibular deviation, wound infection, the way of medial ramus dehiscence, and the occurrence of jaw fractures after BSSRO was analyzed. Results: There had 3 mandibular fractures, 7 infections, 32 types of bone dehiscence in type Ⅰ and 14 in type Ⅱ, and 10 cases of left deviation and 13 cases of right deviation. There were significant differences between wound infection and medial dehiscence of the ascending ramus and fractures after BSSRO. There was a certain correlation between wound infection and postoperative fractures. Type Ⅱ bone dehiscence was more prone to fracture than type Ⅰ bone dehiscence, while there was no statistical significance between the direction of mandibular deviation and jaw fracture after BSSRO. Conclusion: The mandibular fracture after BSSRO in patients with mandibular deviation is related to the dehiscence pattern of the medial ascending ramus and wound infection. The jaw structure should be fully analyzed before the operation. The comprehensive analysis of the dehiscence pattern of the mandibular ascending ramus and the prevention of postoperative wound infection are of great significance to the prevention and treatment of postoperative fractures.

HE Haiyan, YU Jinghong, WU Yujie, Zhang Min, XU Xiaomei 2022, 38(9): 877-881.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.09.017 Abstract ( 132 )   PDF (2249KB) ( 154 )   Objective: To study the changes of autophagy levels of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under starvation conditions, and to explore the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the process of autophagy. Methods: hPDLCs were isolated and cultured. EBSS was applied to simulate a nutrient-deficient environment. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the production of autophagosomes to evaluate the autophagy level in hPDLCs. In order to explore the potential regulatory mechanism of autophagy activation under starvation conditions, hPDLCs were pretreated with antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to inhibit the generation of ROS. DCFH-DA staining was used to detect the level of ROS, and the intensity of autophagy were monitored by RT-qPCR and Western blot which measure the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3-Ⅱ, Beclin-1, and p62. Results: After EBSS starvation, the autophagy level increased. In addition, NAC partially reversed the autophagy levels in starved hPDLCs by inhibiting ROS production. Conclusion: ROS act as a signal molecule to mediate autophagy. Starvation activates autophagy in hPDLCs by inducing ROS generation which protects cells from nutritional deficiency.

Methods: Forty-three teeth with severe periodontitis were randomly demarcated into 66 regions of 4 mm×4 mm. After subgingival scaling, the remaining areas were randomly divided into ultrasonic group, manual group, and sandblasting group. The root surface debridement was completed several times. The root surface roughness values (Ra) before treatment, after the first treatment, after the 20th treatment, after the 50th treatment, and after the 100th treatment were recorded for each group. The surface of root was observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: With the increase of debridement times, the root surface in all three groups gradually became smooth, but the roughness of the root surface in the manual group changed the most. Ra was significantly improved after the first treatment (P<0.05). The root surface polishing effect was the best in the sandblasting group, and Ra was stable after the 20th treatment. SEM observation demonstrated that the manual group had the best debridement effect on the root surface, but the damage to the root surface was the most serious, followed by ultrasound, and the sandblasting group had the least damage, and the best retention effect to the root surface cementum. Conclusion: Subgingival sandblasting caused the least damage to root surface while polishing the root surface, followed by ultrasonic, and then the manual instrument. Sand blasting is recommended for cleaning plaque biofilms during maintenance and treatment to preserve root tissue as much as possible. References | Related Articles | Metrics
