ABSTRACT
Objective: To study Duraphat fluoride varnish on the remineralization of demineralized permanent enamel by carbonated beverages. Methods: 30 permanent premolar teeth from 12 to 25 years old young people were collected from orthodontic extraction. Enamel blocks were prepared from each tooth and randomly divided into group A (Coco cola), B(deionized water), C(Coco cola + Duraphat), D(Coco cola + 2％ NaF) and E(Coco cola + artificial saliva) (n = 15), the specinens were respectively treated for 7 d. The enamel surface were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The Ca2 + and P3 + content(weight percentage) were detected by energy spectrum analyzer. Results: The surface of permanent enamel of group A showed a characteristic honeycomb-like appearance, that of group B were smooth. Group C showed irregular large globule deposits on the surface, group D showed some globule structures on the surface, group E showed a little deposits on the surface. Ca2 + and P3 + content of group A was lower than that of group B, in group C was higher than in group E(P＜ 0. 05). Ca2 + content in group D was higher than that in group E(P＜ 0. 05). Conclusion: Duraphat fluoride varnish can promote the remineralization of demineralized permanent enamel by carbonated beverage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide guidance for oral health prevention by investigating oral health status of 480 Lahu people.Methods Oral health status of 480 Lahu people were investigated by trained dental therapists using standard diagnostic criteria and record.Participants were divided into 4 groups according to their age.Results The Lahu People in Linxiang county suffered from severe dental caries and periodontal disease.The caries prevalence rate among children of 5 years old was 78.3％.The rate of calculus among the children of 12 years old was 75％.The prevalence rates of caries and periodontal pockets were 91.7％ and 43.3％ among the adults between 35 and 44 years old.The above data were significantly higher than the results of the Third National Oral Health Survey.The rates of gingival bleeding and periodontal pocket were 51.7％ and 49.2％ among the aged from 65 to 74 years old,which were lower than that of the Third National Oral Health Survey.Among the participants,76％ never brushed teeth and 85％ brushed teeth only once a day in people who brushed teeth regularly.Conclusion Poor status and maintenance of oral health in the Lahu People suggest that education and resources for oral health should be invested.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To make an animal periodontitis and atherosclerosis compound model, and to study the effects of periodontitis on atherosclerosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>36 Japan rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: Including periodontitis model group, periodontitis and atherosclerosis compound model group, atherosclerosis model group and control group. Periodontitis model was initiated by ligating floss around teeth cervical and oral inoculating with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). Atherosclerosis was established by single iliac artery of balloon-injured rabbit. Histopathological change of injured iliac artery was observed under optical microscope after hematoxylin-eosion stain. Elastica van Gieson-stained sections were used for the morphometric analysis. We measured intimal and medial lesion areas in iliac artery cross-sections as well as the intimal/medial ratio (I/M). We also analyzed P. gingivalis 16S rDNA amplification with nested-polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR), and detect systemic proinflammatory mediators with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The serum levels of CRP, IL-6 and IL-1beta increased obviously among the compound model group than other groups (P<0.01). Histopathological observation revealed the compound model group in I/M was bigger than other groups (P<0.01). P. gingivalis 16S rDNA was detected among the periodontitis model group and the compound model group by nested-PCR.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Periodontitis may accelerate intimal hyperplasia in balloon-injured iliac arteries by upgrade of systemic inflammation factors and local bacterial infection.</p>

Humanistic spirit advocates the concern for human,and the medical value of people foremost.Now status quo of oral medical students' humanities concern is worrying.This paper aims to analyze the reason,and the best way to culture oral medical students' humanities concern is not only to have an aim of training medical professionals who have oral medical knowledge and skills,but also to look upon the education of medical humanistic spirit as important educative content,to improve teachers' humanities diathesis,to enhance the contact between medical students' and society or patients,to foster affection,to train skills,and to establish the good environment of humanities education.
ABSTRACT
The article discusses how to innovate in the departmental rotation examination for the students practicing in hospital in the new time.It is important for the teacher to provide guidance to students and motivate them to take part in comprehensive training of competence actively so as to cultivate the high-level medical students adaptive to the modern society.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the knowledge, attitude of the AIDS prevention and occupational safety in dentist in Kunming and west part of Yunnan and evaluate the effect of education and intervention.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>165 dentists in Yunnan were tested by KABP questionnaire before education. All of the 165 dentists participated a course on AIDS prevention. After that course the same questionnaire was answered by participants.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The correct rates obviously increased. The understanding rates of the oral prevention measure were obviously improved.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The knowledge of AIDS prevention is very low in dentist in Kunming and west part of Yunnan. The education intervention can effectively improve the understanding level of the AIDS prevention in dentist.</p>

Objective To analyse the color ranges of 3 kinds of imported composite resin and to compare the color range of imported composite resin with that of Chinese teeth in the southwest of China. Methods The color of 3 kinds of imported composite resin was mearsured with the spectrophotonery system of human tooth color which had a fiber optic heading.The color range of imported composite resin was compared with that of Chinese teeth. Results The color distribution spaces of 3 kinds of imported compositeresin had different color ranges that were smaller than that of Chinese teeth. Being compared with Chinese teeth color, imported composite resin was short of higher and lower light color, and imported composite resin was short of greener and redder color either. Conclusions The color distribution spaces of imported composite resin are different from that of Chinese teeth in the southwest of China, and any kind of composite resin can not meet the color demand from dental clinic.
ABSTRACT
砄bjective:To analyse the effects of age on the color of natural tooth crown. Methods: The color of 1 944 health anterior teeth of 162 chinese people aged 20 to 73 years old was measured with a fiber optic spectrophotometry system. CIE 1976 L *a *b * and CIE 1931XYZ were applied to analyse the color mesurements. Results:The results showed that in three section of teeth(incisor, midlle, cervical) the values of L * and a *were negativly correlated to aging, that of b * was positively just at cervical and midlle sites. The value of b * was not related to age at incisal site of teeth. Conclusion: The values of L * and a * are related to age negatively.
