ABSTRACT

Background: The commonly accepted idea concerning root planing is that excessive removal of cementum is not necessary for removal of endotoxins. The ideal instrument should enable the removal of all extraneous substances from the root surfaces, without causing any iatrogenic effects. Aim: To compare the remaining calculus, loss of tooth substance, and roughness of root surface after root planing with Gracey curette, ultrasonic instrument (Slimline® insert FSI-SLI-10S), and DesmoClean® rotary bur. Materials and Methods: The efficiency of calculus removal, the amount of lost tooth substance, and root surface roughness resulting from the use of hand curette, ultrasonic instrument, and rotary bur on 36 extracted mandibular incisors were examined by SEM. We used three indices to measure the changes: Remaining calculus index (RCI), Loss of tooth substance index (LTSI), and Roughness loss of tooth substance index (RLTSI). Twelve samples were treated with each instrument. The time required for instrumentation was also noted. Statistical Analysis: Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA was used for multiple group comparisons and the Mann-Whitney test for group-wise comparisons. Analysis was carried out with SPSS® software (version 13). Results and Conclusion: The RCI and LTSI showed nonsignificant differences between the three groups. RLTSI showed a significant difference between Slimline™ and hand curette as well as Slimline™ and Desmo-Clean™. Slimline™ showed the least mean scores for RCI, LTSI, and RLTSI. Thus, even though the difference was not statistically significant, Slimline™ insert was shown to be better than the other methods as assessed by the indices scores and the instrumentation time.

ABSTRACT

Although in vitro studies have shown encouraging results for root surface conditioning with demineralizing agents, in vivo studies have failed to show its benefits in periodontal healing. This can be attributed to several factors, among which, the hypermineralization of dental surface. Therefore, this in vitro study compared, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the effect of root surface conditioning with different conditioners (1% and 25% citric acid, 24% EDTA and 50 mg/mL tetracycline hydrochloride) in impacted teeth and in teeth that had their roots exposed to the oral environment. One trained examiner assessed the SEM micrographs using a root surface modification index. There was a tendency of more root surface modification in the group of impacted teeth, suggesting that the degree of root mineralization influences its chemical demineralization.


Apesar de estudos in vitro terem demonstrado resultados favoráveis ao condicionamento da superfície radicular com agentes desmineralizantes, estudos in vivo não mostraram seus benefícios na cicatrização periodontal. Isto pode ser atribuído a vários fatores, entre os quais, a hipermineralização da superfície dental. Portanto, este estudo in vitro comparou, usando microscopia eletrônica de varredura, o efeito do condicionamento da superfície radicular com diferentes condicionadores (1% e 25% de ácido cítrico, EDTA 24% e 50 mg/mL de cloridrato de tetraciclina) em dentes impactados e dentes que tinham suas raízes expostas ao meio bucal. Um examinador treinado avaliou as microscopias eletrônicas de varredura utilizando um índice de modificação da superfície radicular. Houve uma tendência de maior modificação da superfície radicular no grupo de dentes impactados, sugerindo que o grau de mineralização da raiz influencia a sua desmineralização química.

ABSTRACT

Es bien conocido que el principal factor etiológico de la enfermedad periodontal es el depósito de placa bacteriana que al calcificarse da lugar a la formación del cálculo dental. El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer con microscopía de luz, microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB) y microscopía electrónica de transmisión (MET), cuáles son la estructuras que participan en la adhesión del cálculo a la superficie del diente. Se estudiaron 82 piezas con enfermedad periodontal avanzada, las cuales presentaban una significativa masa calcular adherida a la superficie cementaria. Las muestras se procesaron de acuerdo con las técnicas de rutina para microscopía de luz y microscopía electrónica de barrido, y la técnica de inclusión en resina Spurr para microscopía electrónica de transmisión. Al microscopio de luz se observó una delgada línea basófila de demarcación interpuesta entre el cálculo y la superficie dental. El MEB reveló la presencia de un material de naturaleza fibrilar dispuesto perpendicularmente a ambas superficies (cálculo y cemento) que actuaría como elemento responsable de tal adhesión. Al MET se comprobó que dicho material fibrilar corresponde a fibras colágenas con un patrón característico de periodicidad. En conclusión, el estudio óptico permitió el hallazgo de una zona homogénea continua en la interfase cálculo-diente. El estudio ultraestructural puso en evidencia que la íntima relación existente entre el cálculo y las irregularidades del cemento es atribuible a la firma adhesión que ofrecen las fibras colágenas entre estas dos superficies

ABSTRACT

Os autores analisaram a participaçäo dos mastócitos no processo inflamatório induzido pela inoculaçäo subcutânea de partículas de cálculo dentário humano, autoclavadas e näo autoclavadas, no dorso de cobaias. Verificaram que os mastócitos säo evidenciados em menor número nas áreas inoculadas com partículas näo autoclavadas de cálculo dentário, as quais provocaram reaçöes predominantemente agudas. Tal fato, parece indicar a participaçäo dos mastócitos no processo inflamatório, possivelmente por degranulaçäo e liberaçäo de mediadores químicos
