ABSTRACT

Abstract Simulating a bacterial-induced pulpitis environment in vitro may contribute to exploring mechanisms and bioactive molecules to counteract these adverse effects. Objective To investigate the chronic exposure of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) aiming to establish a cell culture protocol to simulate the impaired odontogenic potential under pulpitis conditions. Methodology HDPCs were isolated from four healthy molars of different donors and seeded in culture plates in a growth medium. After 24 h, the medium was changed to an odontogenic differentiation medium (DM) supplemented or not with E. coli LPS (0 - control, 0.1, 1, or 10 µg/mL) (n=8). The medium was renewed every two days for up to seven days, then replaced with LPS-free DM for up to 21 days. The activation of NF-κB and F-actin expression were assessed (immunofluorescence) after one and seven days. On day 7, cells were evaluated for both the gene expression (RT-qPCR) of odontogenic markers (COL1A1, ALPL, DSPP, and DMP1) and cytokines (TNF, IL1B, IL8, and IL6) and the production of reactive nitrogen (Griess) and oxygen species (Carboxy-H2DCFDA). Cell viability (alamarBlue) was evaluated weekly, and mineralization was assessed (Alizarin Red) at 14 and 21 days. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α=5%). Results After one and seven days of exposure to LPS, NF-κB was activated in a dose-dependent fashion. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL concentrations down-regulated the gene expression of odontogenic markers and up-regulated cytokines. LPS at 10 µg/mL increased both the production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. LPS decreased cell viability seven days after the end of exposure. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL decreased hDPCs mineralization in a dose-dependent fashion. Conclusion The exposure to 10 µg/mL LPS for seven days creates an inflammatory environment that is able to impair by more than half the odontogenic potential of HDPCs in vitro, simulating a pulpitis-like condition.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of Dentistry and Physical Education students on mouthguard usage in sports practice. Methods A form containing questions that demonstrated participants' knowledge about the use of mouthguards was applied. Inclusion criteria were: individuals older than 18 years who were attending Dentistry or Physical Education courses from the sixth period and who agreed to participate in the study, and the exclusion criteria for dentistry students were: attended the discipline of Dental Materials II of UFPE and already participated in internships in schools or academies for the participants of the Physical Education course. Results it was possible to observe that 97% of the interviewees know what a mouthguard is, but none of the participants would be able to indicate a specific type of mouthguard to sportsmen. Conclusion It was possible to conclude that a large number of the interviewees know what a mouthguard is, but not enough to indicate which is the safest protector.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução Historicamente, materiais abrasivos, como mármore em pó, corais e cinzas ósseas, eram utilizados para higienização dentária. Com a evolução, tais materiais foram substituídos por dentifrícios aplicados em escovas dentais, com a mesma finalidade. Objetivo Avaliar, através da Tomografia por Coerência Óptica, o desgaste do esmalte dentário, após o uso de diferentes escovas dentais e materiais utilizados na escovação com componentes abrasivos. Material e método Foram confeccionados 50 corpos de prova, distribuídos em 10 grupos (n=5), de acordo com o dentifrício/escova utilizado. Para o grupo A, foi utilizada a escova dental Curaprox® Adulto Ultra Macia, e, para o grupo B, a escova Dental K® - escova adulto macia. Foram utilizados os seguintes materiais para escovação: Curaprox® Black is White; Colgate® Luminous White Instant, Close Up® White Attraction - MenSuperpure; Carvão Ativado; Água Destilada. As imagens foram realizadas antes e depois da ciclagem de escovação e comparadas quanto às alterações de superfície. A perda da estrutura superficial foi avaliada através dos métodos qualitativo e quantitativo. Para análise estatística dos dados obtidos, foram realizadas as medidas estatísticas: média, desvio padrão, mediana e percentis, avaliados inferencialmente através dos testes estatísticos Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultado Maior índice de perda de estrutura superficial do esmalte nos grupos G2A (16,09) e G2B (11,38) e menor índice de perda estrutural nos grupos G5A (1,07) e G5B (1,20). Conclusão: Através desse estudo, observou-se que os dentifrícios clareadores e o Carvão Ativado são capazes de promover intenso desgaste do esmalte dentário.


Abstract Introduction Historically, abrasive materials such as marble powders, corals and bone ashes were used for dental hygiene. With evolution, these materials were replaced by dentifrices applied on toothbrushes for the same purpose. Objective To evaluate, through Optical Coherence Tomography, the wear of dental enamel after the use of different toothbrushes and materials used in brushing with abrasive components. Material and method 50 specimens were prepared, distributed in 10 groups (n=5) according to the toothpaste used. For group A, the Curaprox® Adult Ultra Macia toothbrush was used and for group B, the soft toothbrush K® - soft adult toothbrush. The following brushing materials were used: Curaprox® Black is White; Colgate® Luminous White Instant, Close Up® White Attraction - MenSuperpure; Activated Charcoal; Distilled Water. The images were performed before and after the brushing cycle and were compared for surface changes. The loss of the surface structure was evaluated through qualitative and quantitative methods. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the statistical methods Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, with significance level of 5%, mean, standard deviation, median and percentiles. Result A higher index of loss of enamel structure was observed in the G2A (16.09) and G2B (11.38) groups and a lower structural loss rate in the specimens corresponding to the groups G5A (1,07) and G5B (1,20). Conclusion Through this study it was observed that the whitening dentifrices and the Activated Charcoal are able to promote an intense wear of the dental enamel.
