ABSTRACT
There is a strong need to search for more effective compounds with bone anti-resorptive properties,which will cause fewer complications than commonly used bisphosphonates.To achieve this goal,it is necessary to search for new techniques to characterize the interactions between bone and drug.By studying their interaction with hydroxyapatite (HA),this study used three forms of ceramic materials,two of which are bone-stimulating materials,to assess the suitability of new active substances with anti-resorptive properties.In this study,three methods based on HA in loose form,polycaprolactone/HA (a polymer-ceramic materials containing HA),and polymer-ceramic monolithic in-needle extraction(MINE) device (a polymer inert skeleton),respectively,were used.The affinity of risedronate (a standard compound) and sixteen aminomethylenebisphosphonates (new compounds with potential anti-resorptive properties) to HA was defined according to the above-mentioned methods.Ten monolithic materials based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/ethylene dimethacrylate are prepared and studied,of which one was selected for more-detailed further research.Simulated body fluids containing bisphosphonates were passed through the MINE device.In this way,sorption-desorption of bisphosphonates was evaluated using this MINE device.The paper presents the advantages and disad-vantages of each technique and its suitability for assessing new active substances.All three methods allow for the selection of several compounds with potentially higher anti-resorptive properties than risedronate,in hope that it reflects their higher bone affinity and release ability.
ABSTRACT
Abstract This study evaluated the bond strength (BS) of experimental resin cements formulated with different photoinitiators when activated by two kinds of light-curing units (LCUs) through a ceramic material. Seven resin blends with different camphorquinone (CQ) and/or phenylpropanedione (PPD) concentrations (weight) were prepared: C5: 0.5% CQ; C8: 0.8% CQ; P5: 0.5% PPD; P8: 0.8% PPD; C1P4: 0.1% CQ and 0.4% PPD; C4P1: 0.4% CQ and 0.1% PPD; C4P4: 0.4% CQ and 0.4% PPD. Two LCUs were used: one quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH - 850 mW/cm²) and one light-emitting diode (LED - 1300 mW/cm²). The microtensile bond strength of each blend was assessed. Data were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). The BS values did not exhibit significant differences for LCUs, regardless of the photoinitiator type. Three cements showed significant differences: P5 and C5 had higher BS with QTH, and C4P1 with LED. For QTH, P5 showed the highest and C1P4 the lowest BS. For the LED, C4P1 showed the highest BS of all the cements. The results indicated that PPD was a viable alternative in the formulation of photocured resin cements, reducing or eliminating CQ that is yellowish without impairing the bond strength. Furthermore, both LED and QTH were effective in curing resin cements that contain PPD or CQ.
Resumo Este estudo avaliou a resistência de união (BS) de cimentos resinosos experimentais formulados com diferentes fotoiniciadores, quando ativados através de cerâmica, por dois tipos de fontes luminosas (LCUs). Foram preparadas sete formulações com diferentes concentrações em peso (wt) de canforquinona (CQ) e/ou fenilpropanodiona (PPD): C5: 0,5%CQ; C8: 0,8%CQ; P5: 0,5%PPD; P8: 0,8%PPD; C1P4: 0,1%CQ e 0.4%PPD; C4P1: 0,4%CQ e 0,1%PPD; C4P4: 0,4%CQ e 0,4%PPD. Duas LCUs foram usadas: uma com luz halógena (QTH - 850 mW/cm²) e uma com diodo emissor de luz (LED - 1300 mW/cm²). A BS foi avaliada por teste de microtração. Os dados foram submetidos a ANOVA a dois fatores e Teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Isolando o tipo de fotoiniciador, não houve diferenças significativas na BS. Três cimentos mostraram diferenças significativas: a BS foi maior para P5 e C5 com QTH; e para C4P1 com LED. Para a QTH, P5 exibiu a maior e C1P4 a menor BS. Para LED, C4P1 exibiu a maior BS de todos os outros cimentos testados. Conclusão: PPD é altamente viável em formulações de cimentos resinosos fotopolimerizáveis, reduzindo ou eliminando a CQ que é amarelada, sem comprometer a resistência de união. Além disso, tanto LED quanto QTH são efetivas para polimerizar os cimentos contendo PPD ou CQ.
