ABSTRACT

Hyposalivation and dental root exposure in the elderly are problems that require special oral care. In this context, the characteristics of certain toothpastes are of particular importance. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and dentin wear caused by seven different toothpastes. For dentin wear analysis, 40 root dentin specimens were submitted to 20,000 brushing cycles with the different toothpastes and distilled water (control group-CG), using a brushing machine. Dentin surface loss (SL) was measured by contact profilometer. The cytotoxicity of each toothpaste was tested using cultured fibroblasts submitted to a cell-culture-conditioned medium. Fresh medium served as the control. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay after 24 h of contact with the conditioned media. The data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). The SL of the CG was minimal and significantly lower than that of the Oral B Pro Health (OBPH) group (p < 0.05). All other groups presented SL in between that of the CG and the Oral B Pro Health OBPH group, except for the Sensodyne (SEN) group, which presented SL similar to that of CG (p = 0.05). The SEN group presented a percentage of viable cells similar to that of CG: between 60-89%. All the other toothpastes showed high cytotoxicity, with cell viability less than 50% of the CG. Considering study limitations, we concluded that only one of the seven tested toothpastes exhibited the most desirable toothpaste characteristics for the worldwide growing elderly population (e.g. low cytotoxicity and low-abrasive potential).

ABSTRACT

As metaloproteinases da matriz (MMPs) são uma família de endopeptidades cálcio e zinco dependentes que participam da degradação de praticamente todos os componentes da matriz extracelular. Com o pressuposto de que estas enzimas podem estar relacionadas à progressão da erosão dental e que os agentes ácidos causadores da erosão podem influenciar na ativação das MMPs, o objetivo desse estudo in vitro foi avaliar a influência do pH sobre a atividade funcional das MMP-2 e -9 presentes na dentina coronária e radicular humana. O pó das dentinas coronária e radicular, provenientes de terceiros molares inclusos recém extraídos foi obtido separadamente e submetido ao protocolo de extração das proteínas, com ácido fosfórico a 1%. Após, o extrato contendo as proteínas e o pó de dentina parcialmente desmineralizado foram incubados em uma das respectivas soluções: solução 2 mM de APMA (acetato de 4-aminofenilmercúrio / grupo controle) ou em uma das soluções tampão (fosfato de potássio 0.1 M) com diferentes pHs (2.5, 4.5, 5.0, 6.0 e 7.0). Após a incubação, as proteínas foram separadas por eletroforese, em um gel de poliacrilamida copolimerizado com gelatina, para a avaliação da atividade gelatinolítica das MMPs, por zimografia. Esta análise foi realizada em triplicada e os zimogramas obtidos ao final foram avaliados por densitometria. A quantificação das bandas observadas nos zimogramas foi realizada pelo programa de imagens ImageJ e os dados avaliados de maneira descritiva e qualitativa. Para a avaliação do conteúdo de colágeno solubilizado, o pó de dentina parcialmente desmineralizado e incubado nos respectivos pHs (n = 8) foi mantido em um tampão de incubação durante 24h, e o conteúdo de hidroxiprolina (HYP) liberado neste meio foi mensurado em espectrofotômetro


Os dados obtidos foram avaliados estatisticamente por ANOVA 1 fator, seguido do teste de Tukey, com 5% de significância. A análise por zimografia mostrou bandas evidentes correspondente a MMP-2 na sua forma ativa (66kDa) e bandas menos expressivas relacionadas a sua forma latente (72kDa), tanto para a dentina coronária quanto para a radicular, em todos os grupos experimentais. Não foram identificadas bandas correspondentes a MMP-9, para nenhum dos substratos avaliados. As soluções com os menores pHs (2.5, 4.5 e 5.0) resultaram na maior atividade funcional da MMP-2, em comparação as soluções com os maiores pHs (6.0 e 7.0), em ambos os substratos. Para a análise de HYP, os grupos pH 2.5 e pH 4.5 mostraram valores de absorbância abaixo do limite de detecção do aparelho. Para os demais grupos experimentais, tanto para a dentina coronária quanto para a radicular, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre eles (p < 0,05). O conteúdo de HYP liberada foi maior para o pH 7.0, comparado aos demais grupos (p < 0,05), exceto para o pH 6.0. Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos pH 6.0, pH 5.0 e controle (p > 0,05). Conclui-se que a atividade funcional da MMP-2 é dependente do pH. Os menores pHs promoveram um aumento na ativação da MMP-2 da dentina coronária e radicular humana


Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endopeptidades calcium and zinc dependent that participate in the degradation of pratically all components of the extracellular matrix. With the assumption that these enzymes may be related to the progression of dental erosion and acidic agents that cause erosion can influence the activation of MMPs, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the pH-influence on the functional activity of MMP-2 and -9 present in human coronal and root dentin. The powder of root and coronal dentine, from freshly extracted third molars was separately obtained and subjected to protein extraction protocol, with 1% phosphoric acid. After, the extract containing proteins and the partially demineralized powder were incubated in one of the following solutions: 2 mM APMA (4-aminophenylmercuric acetate / control) or one of the buffer solutions (0.1 M potassium phosphate) with different pHs (2.5, 4.5, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0). After incubation, the proteins were separated by electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide gel copolymerized with gelatin, to evaluate the gelatinolytic activity of MMPs by means of zymography. This analysis was performed in triplicate and the zymograms obtained were evaluated by densitometry. Quantification of the bands observed in zymograms was performed by ImageJ software and the data were evaluated descriptively and qualitatively. To assess the solubilized dentin collagen, the partially demineralized dentin powder treated with different pHs (n=8) was incubated in an artificial saliva for 24 h, and the amount of hydroxyproline (HYP) released in media was measured by spectrophotometer


Data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA one factor, followed by the Tukey's test, with 5% significance. Zymography showed evident bands corresponding to active MMP-2 (66kDa) and less expressed bands related to its latent form (72kDa), for both coronal and root dentin, in all experimental groups. No bands corresponding to MMP-9 were identified, for both substrates. The lowest pH solutions (2.5, 4.5 and 5.0) yielded the higher functional activity than did the highest pH solutions (6.0 and 7.0), for both substrates. For HYP analysis, the groups pH 2.5 and pH 4.5 showed absorbance values below the detection limit of the equipment. For the other groups, for both coronal and root dentin, statistically significant diferences were found between them (p<0.05). The amount of HYP was higher for pH 7.0 than all other groups (p<0.05), except for pH 6.0. No statistical difference was found between pH 6.0, pH 5.0 and control (p>0.05). It can be concluded that the functional activity of MMP-2 is pH-dependent. Low pH solutions are able to increase the activation of human coronal and root MMP-2

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a lisura de superfície de três resinas compostas por nanopartículas, após serem submetidas a três diferentes sistemas de acabamento e polimento. Foram obtidos 40 corpos de prova de cada resina (Filtek Z350 XT, Premise e Charisma Diamond) e distribuídos em quatro grupos experimentais (n=10): C (controle) - sem tratamento; SOF -Discos abrasivos Soflex; ENH - Pontas siliconadas Enhance e F/FF - Pontas diamantadas de granulação fina/extra-fina + disco de feltro e pasta diamantada. Após 24h da confecção e armazenamento, os sistemas de acabamento e polimento foram aplicados. A lisura superficial foi avaliada utilizando-se um rugosímetro, tendo sido realizadas cinco leituras em cada corpo de prova. A média dos valores de rugosidade de superfície [um] obtidos foi analisada através da ANOVA, dois fatores, seguido do teste de Tukey, com significância de 1%. Para todas as resinas testadas, houve diferença estatística entre os sistemas de acabamento e polimento testados (p<0,01). Para a resina Charisma, os valores de rugosidade foram: C - 0,10a; SOF - 0,24b; ENH - 0,23b; F/ FF - 0,32c. Para a Premisa: C-0,12a; SOF - 0,16ab; ENH - 0,22b; F/FF - 0,30<. Para a Filtek: C - 0,08'; SOF - 0,14ab; ENH - 0,20b<; F/FF - 0,26<. No grupo controle foram obtidos os melhores resultados de lisura de superfície para todas as resinas testadas. Em relação aos tratamentos, os grupos SOF e ENH promoveram as melhores lisuras de superfície, enquanto que o grupo F/FF resultou em superfícies com maiores rugosidades.


The aim of this study was to evaluate the smoothness surface of 3 composites by nanoparticles (Filtek Z350 XT, Premise e Charisma Diarnond], after being subjected to three different finishing and polishing systems. Were obtained 40 specimens of each resin selected and randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n= 10): C (control) - no treatment; SOF - Abrasive discs Soflex; ENH - silicon tips Enhance; and F / FF - diamond tips fine/extra-fine granulation + felt disc and diamond paste. Twenty-four hours after the preparation and storage of the specimens in distilled water at 37°(, the finishing and polishing systems were applied. The smooth surface of the composites was evaluated using a rugosimeter, where five readings were taken on each specimen. The mean surface roughness (um) were analyzed by ANOVA, two factors, followed by Tukev's test, with significance of 1%. For ali resins tested, statistical difference was found between finishing and polishing systems tested (p<0,01). To the resin Charisma roughness values were: C - 0,10a; SOF - 0,24b; ENH - 0,23b; F/ FF - 0,32c. For the premise : C-0,12a; SOF - 0,16ab; ENH - 0,22b; F/FF - 0,30<. Para a Filtek: C - 0,08'; SOF - 0,14ab; ENH - 0,20b<; F/FF - 0,26<. The control group obtained better results of surface smoothness for ali composites tested. Regarding the treatments groups, SOF and ENH resulted on better smoothness surface, while the group FI FF resulted in surfaces with higher roughness.
