ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate in vitro the effect of erosive challenge and continuous immersion in cola drink on surface microhardness of orthodontic composites. Material and Methods: Forty samples of three composites (Transbond XT, Quick Cure and Ortho Cem) were prepared (4 x 2 mm) and distributed into 4 groups (n=10): erosive challenge, artificial saliva immersion (control 1), continuous cola immersion and artificial saliva immersion (control 2). Erosive challenge was performed 4 times per day (5 min) in cola drink for 2 h in artificial saliva for 7 days. Samples of continuous cola immersion group were soaked in cola drink for 5 weeks and the beverage was renewed every two days. Control samples were immersed in artificial saliva for 7 days (control 1) and 5 weeks (control 2). Vickers microhardness (VHN) measurements were performed before and after erosive challenge and continuous immersion. Data were evaluated by paired Student's T-test, ANOVA one-way and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). Results: After 7 days of erosive challenge, there was no statistical difference between VHN values before and after erosive challenge and artificial saliva immersion. However, after 5 weeks of cola drink and artificial saliva immersion, significant reduction in VHN values was observed for all composites when compared to baseline values, and specimens immersed in cola drink showed lower VHN compared to those immersed in saliva, regardless of composite composition. Conclusion: After 7 days of erosive challenge, there was no alteration in superficial VHN of orthodontic composites. However, after 5 weeks of immersion in cola drink, significant reduction of VHN values was observed for all composites.

ABSTRACT

Alginate, or irreversible hydrocolloid, is one of the most accepted impression materials used in dentistry. However, some substances existing in these materials can be toxic. The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of alginates for dental applications. Fourteen different alginates were assessed: Jeltrate, Jeltrate Plus, Jeltrate Chromatic, Alga Gel, Printer Gel, Ava Gel, New Print, Kromopan 100, Tropicalgin, Cavex Orthotrace, Hydrogum, Orthoprint, Cavex Color Change, and Qualitygel. Three control groups were also used in this study: positive control group (C+) consisting of cell detergent Tween 80, negative control group (C-) consisting of PBS, and cell control group (CC) consisting of non-exposed cells. After manipulating the materials according to the manufacturer’s instructions, samples were made by using silicone rings. Next, the samples were immersed into Eagle’s minimum essential medium (MEM) for 2 minutes followed by removal of supernatants and contact with L929 fibroblasts. After contact with the medium, the cells were incubated for further 24 hours in which 100µl of 0.01 por ciento neutral red stain were added. Cells were incubated again for 3 hours so that the stain could be absorbed. After this period, the cells were fixed and viable cell counting was performed by using a spectrophotometer (BioTek, Winooski, Vermont, USA) at wavelength of 492 nm. The results demonstrated statistical differences between CC and C- groups in relation to other ones (p<0.05). No statistical differences were observed between Jeltrate Plus and Hydrogum groups, between Jeltrate and Jeltrate Chromatic, Printer Gel, Tropicalgin, and Qualitygel groups, and between Jeltrate Chromatic and Alga Gel, Ava Gel, New Print, Kromopan 100, Cavex Orthotrace, Hydrogum, Orhtoprint, and Cavex Color Change groups. One can conclude, based on the results of this study, that all alginate materials were found to be cytotoxic.


El alginato o hidrocoloide irreversible, es uno de los materiales de impresión más aceptados y utilizados en odontología. Sin embargo, algunas substancias existentes en estos materiales pueden ser tóxicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la citotoxicidad de los alginatos para aplicaciones dentales. Fueron evaluados 14 alginatos diferentes: Jeltrate, Jeltrate Plus, Jeltrate Chromatic, Alga Gel, Printer Gel, Ava Gel, New Print, Kromopan 100, Tropicalgin, Cavex Orthotrace, Hydrogum, Orthoprint, Cavex Color Change y Qualitygel. También se utilizaron tres grupos de control también se utilizaron en este estudio: grupo control positivo (C+) que consiste en células de detergente Tween 80, el grupo de control negativo (C-) que consiste en PBS, y el grupo de células de control (CC) que consiste de las células no expuestas. Después de la manipulación de los materiales de acuerdo a las instrucciones del fabricante, las muestras fueron hechas mediante el uso de anillos de silicona. A continuación, las muestras se sumergieron en medio mínimo esencial de Eagle (MEM) durante 2 minutos, seguido de la eliminación de los sobrenadantes y el contacto con los fibroblastos L929. En caso de contacto con el medio, las células fueron incubadas durante 24 horas más en 100ml de tinción roja neutra al 0,01 por ciento. Las células se incubaron nuevamente durante 3 horas para que la tinción pueda ser absorbida. Después de este período, las células fueron fijadas y el recuento de células viables se realizó mediante un espectrofotómetro (BioTek, Winooski, Vermont, EE.UU.) a la longitud de onda de 492 nm. Los resultados demostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos de CC y C- en relación con los demás (p<0,05). No se observaron diferencias estadísticas entre los grupos Jeltrate Plus y Hydrogum, entre Jeltrate y los grupos Jeltrate Chromatic, Printer Gel, Tropicalgin y Qualitygel, y entre Jeltrate Chromatic y los grupos Alga Gel, Ava Gel, New Print, ...

ABSTRACT

La aparición de los alambres con una baja cantidad de níquel son un gran avance en ortodoncia, supliendo la necesidad de ortodoncia para pacientes que pueden tener hipersensibilidad de este ión, pero no se conoce mucho acerca de las propiedades mecánicas de estos alambres. El objetivo de este estudio fue probar la hipótesis de que no hay diferencia en el desempeño mecánico de los alambres de acero inoxidable y alambres de acero inoxidable con bajo contenido de níquel, evaluando la fuerza, resistencia y módulo de elasticidad producida por el resorte de Coffin hecho con alambre de 0,032 y 0,036 pulgadas. Se construyeron 60 unidades de Coffin, 30 para cada tipo de aleación, siendo 15confeccionadas con alambre de 0,032 pulgadas y 15 con alambre de 0,036 pulgadas. Todos los arcos fueron sometidos a la prueba mecánica de compresión en la máquina EMIC DL-10000, simulando 4, 6, 9 y 12 mm de activación. El análisis de varianza y comparación múltiple (ANOVA) y la prueba de Tukey (p <0,05) fueron utilizados para evaluar la fuerza, resistencia y módulo de elasticidad. Los grupos que utilizaron alambre de 0,036 pulgadas presentaron estadísticamente (p <0,05) mayores niveles de fuerza, resistencia y módulo de elasticidad en comparación con dispositivos con 0,032 pulgadas de alambre para ambas aleaciones. Para el mismo espesor, no hubieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los 2 tipos de aleaciones, con excepción de los dispositivos con activación de 9 mm y espesor de 0,036 pulgadas que mostraron una diferencia estadística (p <0,05). Los resortes de Coffin evaluados para ambas aleaciones metálicas produjeron fuerzas adecuadas para el tratamiento ortodontico, por lo que debe ser correctamente planificada su aplicación clínica.


The emergence of stainless steel wire made of low-nickel content was a major breakthrough in the orthodontic, supplying the need for orthodontics patients who may have hypersensitivity by this ion, but do not know much about the mechanical properties of these wires. The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that there is no difference between stainless steel wires and low-nickel stainless steel ones regarding their mechanical behaviour. Force, resilience, and elasticity modulus produced by Coffin appliances made of 0.032-inch and 0.036-inch wires were evaluated. Sixty appliances Coffin were made, thirty for each type of alloy being fifteen for each wire thickness. All the arches were submitted to mechanical compression test by using an EMIC DL-10000 machine simulating activations of 4, 6, 9, and 12 mm. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with multiple comparisons and Tukey’s test were employed (p< 0.05) for assessing force, resilience, and elasticity modulus. The groups using the 0.036 inch presented statistically (p<0.05) higher levels of force, resiliency and elasticity modulus when compared to the arches using the 0.032 inch wire for both alloys. The Coffin appliances for both alloys evaluated can produce adequate forces for orthodontic treatment as long as their clinical application is correctly planned.

ABSTRACT

Natural latex does not fall into the category of materials known to be entirely inoffensive. The objective of the present in vitro study is to test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the cytotoxicity between natural latex elastics of different colours. The present article compared different latex intra-oral elastics (5/16 = 7.9 mm). The sample was divided into four groups according to their manufacturer: Group N (Natural latex elastic, Morelli), Group R (Red colour elastic, Morelli) Group Y (Yellow colour elastic, Morelli) and Group G (Green colour elastic, Morelli). Cytotoxicity assays were performed by using cell culture medium containing L-929 line cells (mouse fibroblast). The cytotoxicity was evaluated by using the “dyeuptake” test, which was employed at two different moments (1 and 24 h). Data were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test (p<0.05). The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the groups N, R, Y, G and the negative cytotoxicity control at 1 and 24 h (p<0.05), it did not have presented significant difference between the groups N, R, Y, G tested (p>0.05) at 1 and 24 h. Morelli intra-oral elastics were found to be highly cytotoxic, regardless of their colour and immersion time.


El látex natural no entra en la categoría de materiales que se sabe del todo inofensivo. El objetivo del presente estudio in vitro es poner a prueba la hipótesis de que no hay diferencia en la citotoxicidad entre elásticos de látex natural de diferentes colores. El presente artículo compara diferentes elásticos intraorales de látex (5/16 =7,9 mm). La muestra se dividió en cuatro grupos según su fabricante: Grupo N (elástico látex, Morelli), Grupo I (elástico de color rojo, Morelli) Grupo Y (elástico de color amarillo, Morelli) y el Grupo G (elástico color verde, Morelli). Pruebas de citotoxicidad se realizaron mediante el uso de medio de cultivo celular que contiene líneas celulares L-929 (fibroblastos de ratón). La citotoxicidad se evaluó mediante el test “dye-uptake”, que se empleó en dos momentos diferentes (1 y 24 h). Los datos se compararon mediante análisis de varianza (ANOVA) y test de Tukey (p<0,05). Los resultados mostraron una diferencia significativa (p<0,05) entre los grupos N, R, Y, G y la negativa citotoxicidad del control en 1 y 24 h (p<0,05), no han presentado diferencias significativas entre los grupos N, R , Y, G probado (p>0,05) en 1 y 24 h. Elásticos intraorales Morelli resultaron ser altamente citotóxicos, independientemente de su color y tiempo de inmersión.

ABSTRACT

Las discrepancias entre el tamaño mesiodistal de los dientes superiores e inferiores, así como sus efectos sobre la oclusión han sido reportadas desde mediados del siglo XX. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la importancia de la aplicación del análisis de discrepancias dentaria de Bolton con finalidad ortodontica. Fueron seleccionados casos de pacientes de raza blanca de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 25 años. El análisis de las discrepancias dentarias fue realizado en la fase previa al tratamiento y posterior a la contención. Como criterio básico para la inclusión en la muestra de pacientes en el pre-tratamiento deberían presentar todos los dientes permanentes (de primeros molares a primeros molares del lado opuesto, en ambos arcos). Fueron eliminados los casos que presentaron dientes con grandes destrucciones, restauraciones inadecuadas y dientes mal posicionados donde no fue posible la medición adecuada entre los puntos de contacto. La medición del tamaño mesiodistal de los dientes se realizó con un caliper (Odin, Alemania), precisión de 0,01 mm, por un solo examinador, previamente calibrado para realizar este procedimiento. Se midió el diámetro mesiodistal mayor de todos los dientes. Las relaciones totales y anteriores fueron calculadas por las fórmulas respectivas, según lo propuesto por Bolton (1958). Al finalizar, los casos mostraron que una discrepancia dentaria de Bolton maxilar o mandibular por exceso o falta dentaria, puede ser compensada por la alteración en la forma del arco, dimensión vestibulolingual y por la inclinación axial de los dientes anteriores, utilizadas en conjunto o aisladamente en la arcada, sin perjuicio estético y funcional.


Discrepancies of the mesiodistal dimensions between upper and lower teeth as well as their effects on occlusion have been reported since the middle of the twentieth century. The aim of this study was to elucidate the importance of the applicability of the analysis of the Bolton tooth size discrepancy in the orthodontic finalizing. Cases involving Caucasian male and female patients aged between 12 and 25 years were selected for study. Analyses of the dental discrepancies were carried out before orthodontic treatment and after contention. Basically, only patients having all permanent teeth before treatment (with first molars in both arches) were included. Those cases of severely mutilated teeth, inadequate restorations, and tooth malalignment were ruled out because accurate measurement of the contacting points could not be performed. Measurement of the mesiodistal tooth dimension was performed by only one operator using a digital calliper of a resolution of 0.001 mm (Odin, Germany) which had been previously calibrated for such procedures. It was measured the largest mesiodistal diameter. Both previous and total relationships were calculated through their respective formulas according to Bolton (1958). The orthodontic finalisation showed that Bolton tooth size discrepancies involving either crowded dentition or lack of teeth can be compensated by mandibular or maxillary arch shape, buccal-lingual dimension, and axial inclination of the anterior teeth with no aesthetic or functional impairment.

ABSTRACT

The objective of the present study was to describe how a distalizer can be made so that some failures existing in these devices can also be eliminated. Because such devices are easy to make and have a low cost, they are becoming a viable option for treating Class II malocclusions without extraction regardless of the patient’s co-operation.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of dental alginate (irreversible hydrocolloid), which is widely used as an impression material in Dentistry. Methods: Four dental products were assessed: J (Jeltrate Traditional), ALG (Alga Gel), PG (Printer Gel), and AVG (Ava Gel). Three control groups were used: positive (C+) cell detergent Tween 80, negative (C-) PBS, and control of cells (CC - no exposure of cells to any substance). Disk-shaped specimens were immersed in Eagle minimum essential. The supernatants were collected after 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours (7 days) for analysis of the toxicity to L929 fibroblast cells after 24-h incubation. Viable cells stained with 0.01% neutral red dye were counted using a spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05).Results: Significant differences in number of viable cells were found between the alginate groups and C- or CC (P<0.05). The group J showed the highest cytotoxicity level followed by PG, ALG, and AVG. Conclusion: All dental alginates tested showed some cytotoxic response from fibroblasts.
