ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the regulation mechanism of RhoA signaling pathway during the enamel formation by using the EGFP-RhoADominant Negative (EGFP-RhoADN) transgenic mice model, from the aspect of adherens junctions, and to provide a theory basis for mechanism of enamel development defects.@*METHODS@#The enamel thickness of mandibular first molars of EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice and wild type (WT) mice were observed by scanning electronic microscopy at 20 kV, and the enamel thickness of the distal face of the central cusp was measured at 10 locations via analysis by ImageJ (Rasband, 1997-2009). The enamel organs from mandibular first molars from postnatal-4-day (P4) EGFP-RhoADN mice and wild type mice were isolated, and the total RNA and protein were extracted from the epithelium of the enamel organs. The expression level of the adherens junctions components in ameloblasts layer of the postnatal-4-day EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice and wild type mice mandibular first molars were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot assay.@*RESULTS@#The EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice had decreased enamel thickness in their bilateral mandibular first molars versus those of control group (n=20), and enamel thickness was (84.60±0.20) μm vs. (106.24±0.24) μm, P<0.05. The protein expressions of E-cadherin, α-E-catenin and pan-cadherin in ameloblasts layer of postnatal-4-day EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice molars were down-regulated, and the protein level of β-catenin in ameloblasts layer of P4 EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice molars was up-regulated. The mRNA level of E-cadherin in ameloblasts layer of P4 EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice molars was down-regulated versus that of WT mice, and the gene expression of E-cadherin was 0.93±0.01 vs. 1.00±0.02, P<0.05. The mRNA level of β-catenin in ameloblasts layer of P4 EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice molars was up-regulated versus that of WT mice, and the gene expression of β-catenin was 1.23±0.03 vs. 1.00±0.05, P<0.05.@*CONCLUSION@#In the mandibular first molars of EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice, the enamel formation was disrupted and the adherens junctions of EGFP-RhoADN transgenic mice ameloblasts were implicated during amelogenesis. RhoA signaling pathway may play a critical role in enamel development by altering the adherens junctions in ameloblasts.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to compare digital techniques for evaluating dental enamel de-/remineralization. Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted molars were subjected to a process of de- and remineralization. Radiographs were taken before and after each stage. These radiographs were evaluated by the conventional method and were then scanned and analyzed either with or without the use of image enhancement. Moreover, the gray levels (GLs) of the affected areas were measured. Results: All methods exhibited low sensitivity and identical levels of specificity (99.4%). Analysis of the grayscale levels found statistically significant differences between the initial radiographs (P < 0.05). The mean GL of the carious group was significantly lower than that of the remineralized group. The GL did not differ significantly between the initial and final radiographs of the remineralized group, although the mean of the first group was lower than that of the second, which demonstrated that the remineralization process restored the normal density of the dental enamel. Conclusion: Measurement of the mean GL was sufficiently sensitive to detect small alterations in the surface of the enamel.

ABSTRACT

With regard to the best moment for carrying out or recommending dental bleaching to orthodontic patients, some explanations and orientations are given in order to answers the following questions: 1) Why orthodontic treatment completion is considered the best opportunity for carrying out the procedure? 2) Why dental bleaching should not be performed immediately before orthodontic treatment? 3) If that would be possible at any special case, what would that be? 4) Why dental bleaching should not be performed during orthodontic treatment? 5) If that would be possible at any special case, what would that be? This article highlights why it is essential to protect both the mucosa and the cervical region, regardless of the moment when dental bleaching is performed, whether associated with orthodontic treatment or not. The "how", "why" and "if" of whether or not it is convenient to perform dental bleaching before orthodontic treatment are still a matter of clinical suggestion, as it is a procedure that is under analysis, empirical knowledge waiting for scientific proof or disproof! Although tooth enamel has adamantine fluid flowing within it, providing a specific metabolism that is peculiar to its own and which could scientifically explain and base the option of carrying out teeth whitening before and during orthodontic treatment, we must still be very careful.


Quanto ao melhor momento para se aplicar ou recomendar a clareação dentária aos pacientes ortodônticos, alguns esclarecimentos e orientações são explanados para responder questionamentos como: 1) Por que depois do tratamento ortodôntico se constitui a melhor oportunidade para tal procedimento?; 2) Por que não realizar a clareação dentária imediatamente antes do tratamento ortodôntico?; 3) Se poderia realizá-la em alguma condição especial, e qual seria?; 4) Por que não se deveria clarear os dentes durante o tratamento ortodôntico?; 5) Se possível em algumas situações especiais, quando seriam essas situações especiais? No presente artigo, se destacará porque é fundamental sempre proteger a mucosa e a região cervical, independentemente do momento em que se fizer uma clareação dentária relacionada ou não ao tratamento ortodôntico. O mecanismo de como, por que e se é ou não conveniente clarear os dentes antes da finalização dos tratamentos ortodônticos ainda representa uma sugestão clínica, um procedimento em análise e um conhecimento empírico à espera de sua comprovação ou desmitificação científica. Apesar do esmalte dentário ter uma circulação do líquido adamantino, que propicia um metabolismo próprio e específico, que pode vir a ser, cientificamente, a base para explicar e fundamentar a clareação dentária antes e durante o tratamento ortodôntico, ainda assim devemos ser muito cautelosos.

ABSTRACT

This in situ crossover and blind study was conducted to investigate the effect of professional acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel application time on the subsequent inhibition of enamel demineralization. During 3 phases of 28 days each, 15 volunteers wore palatal appliances containing 4 enamel blocks, which were subjected to 3 treatment groups: not treated (control) and pre-treated with APF gel for 1 or 4 min. Dental plaque was allowed to accumulate on the blocks and the appliances were immersed in 10 percent sucrose solution 3 times a day simulating a cariogenic challenge. After each phase, the blocks were removed to evaluate enamel demineralization and concentration of fluoride (F) remaining after the cariogenic challenge. F formed on enamel was determined in additional enamel blocks subjected only to APF gel application. APF gel was efficient in reducing enamel demineralization (p<0.05), irrespective of the application time (p>0.05). Also, the concentration of the F formed and retained on enamel was significantly higher after APF gel application (p<0.05), but the effect of time of application was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The results suggest that APF application for either 1 or 4 min is equally efficient to increase F concentration in enamel and reduce enamel demineralization.


Considerando que o efeito do tempo da aplicação profissional de flúor fosfato acidulado (FFA) na subseqüente inibição da desmineralização do esmalte dental não está claramente estabelecido, este foi avaliado em um estudo in situ, cruzado e cego. Em 3 fases de 28 dias cada uma, 15 voluntários utilizaram um dispositivo palatino contendo 4 blocos de esmalte, que foram submetidos a 3 grupos/tratamentos: não tratado (controle) e pré-tratado com FFA gel por 1 ou 4 min. Placa dental foi acumulada sobre os blocos e 3 vezes ao dia os dispositivos foram imersos em uma solução de sacarose a 10 por cento simulando um desafio cariogênico. Após cada fase, os blocos foram removidos para avaliação da desmineralização do esmalte e concentração de fluoreto (F) remanescente após o desafio cariogênico. O F formado no esmalte foi determinado em blocos adicionais submetidos apenas à aplicação de FFA gel. O tratamento com FFA gel reduziu a desmineralização do esmalte (p<0,05), independentemente do tempo de aplicação (p>0,05). Adicionalmente, a concentração de F formado e retido no esmalte foi significantemente maior após a aplicação do FFA gel (p<0,05), mas o efeito do tempo de aplicação não foi estatisticamente significante (p>0,05). Os resultados sugerem que não há diferença entre os tempos 1 ou 4 min de aplicação de FFA gel em termos de aumento da concentração de F no esmalte e redução de sua desmineralização frente a um desafio cariogênico.

ABSTRACT

Para avaliar a influência das pontas excessivas de esmalte dentário na digestibilidade dos nutrientes de dietas de eqüinos, utilizaram-se 13 animais alimentados com capim-elefante (Pennisetum purpureum) e ração comercial. Foram analisadas matéria seca, proteína bruta, energia bruta, fibra em detergente neutro, fibra em detergente ácido, hemicelulose e celulose nas fezes antes e duas semanas após o desgaste corretivo das pontas excessivas de esmalte. A digestibilidade aumentou (P<0,001) em todas as variáveis estudadas após o desgaste corretivo.


The influence of excessive enamel points on structural carbohydrates digestibility in horses was evaluated. Thirteen horses were fed on elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and concentrate. Dry matter, crude protein, gross energy, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose and cellulose were measured in the feces before and two weeks after floating of the excessive enamel points. The apparent digestibility of all nutrients was increased (P<0.001) after the treatment.

ABSTRACT

The present study was performed to compare the amount of in vitro fluoride uptake by enamel and dentin from fluoridated bonding agent with non-fluoridated composite (Group I), non-fluoridated bonding agent with fluoridated composite (Group II) and fluoridated bonding agent with fluoridated composite resin (Group III). Sixty extracted premolars were selected and divided into three groups of 20 teeth each. Restorative materials were applied according to manufacturer's instructions into standard windows created in the teeth, cured and placed in de-ionised water for three months. The fluoride content of successive acid etch biopsy was determined by specific ion-electrode analysis. Although significant amount of fluoride uptake occurred in all the test groups, fluoride uptake was found to be highly significant in dentin when compared to enamel in Group, I, II and III (P<0.001). The fluoride uptake was greater by both enamel and dentin in Group III ie fluoridated bonding agent with fluoridated composite resin.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo in vitro avaliou a microinfiltraçäo e açäo anticariogênica nas restauraçöes com sistema adesivo/resina composta (Glacier) e nas associaçöes compômeros (Freedom, F2000, Dyract) ou ionômero modificado por resina (Vitremer)/resina composta em cavidades classe II amplas (MOD) com margem cervical 1mm abaixo ou acima da junçäo amelo-cementária. Foram realizados 100 preparos em premolares e molares extraídos submetidos ao condicionamento prévio do esmalte e dentina, com exceçäo do grupo Vitremer, e restaurados com a utilizaçäo dos diferentes sistemas adesivos de acordo com as orientaçöes dos fabricantes. Foi utilizada uma matriz metálica e os compômeros ou cimento de ionômero de vidro modificado por resina foram inseridos nas margens cervicais das caixas proximais até a parede pulpar e em seguida polimerizados em várias direçöes. Os materiais foram desgastados mantendo uma espessura de 2,0mm. As restauraçöes foram completadas com a utilizaçäo dos sitemas adesivos/resina composta (técnica mista). A avaliaçäo da área infiltrada dos dentes seccionados após ciclagem mecânica, foi realizada através da penetraçäo do corante (fucsina a 0,5 por cento). Os resultados demonstraram que os dentes resturados com associaçäo Vitremer/resina apresentaram menores áreas infiltradas nas margens cavitárias em dentina e esmalte em comparaçäo com as demais associaçöes de materiais utilizadas...

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this work was to compare the shear bond strength of an adhesive system in human enamel and dentin, as well as in bovine and swinish, after 24 hours and 7 days storage at 37oC water and 100% of relative humidity. Sixty human upper premolars, sixty bovine upper incisors and thirty swinish molars were used. Rigth after the extractions the tooth were cleaned and stored in 0,09% physiologic solution with 0,05% thymol, at 4o C until they were used. The teeth were divided into 12 groups made by 15 specimens, according to the kind of tooth, the surface to be tested and storage period. The surfaces to be tested were planed by using 180 followed by 400 and 600 wet sandpaper and received Prisma Universal Bond 3 adhesive system according to the manufacturer. A polyethylene cilinder 3 mm in diameter was fixed over these surfaces to limit the area and matrix which was filled with Prisma AP.H/Compules resin. Using an Kratus testing machine the bond strength in MPa were: enamel 24 hours 37.6 ± 7.81(H); 30.77 ± 5.68(B); 25.54 ± 6.72(S); enamel 7 days 36.17 ± 4.83(H); 36.94 ± 6.72(B); 23.33 ± 25.54 ± 6.72(S); enamel 7 days 36.17 ± 4.83(H); 36.94 ± 6.72(B); 23.33 ± 7.72(S); dentin 24 hours 8.49 ± 2.25 (H); 6.04 ± 2.51(B); 7.99 ± 3.03(S); dentin 7 days 9.37 ± 4.21(H); 7.83 ± 3.15(B); 8.45 ± 4.33(S). Analysis of the values by to Tukey-Kramer test (P<0.05) revealed: bond strength in enamel were significantly higher when compared to dentin; bond strength in human enamel did not present significant statistical differences relating to bovine enamel, however both registered significant differences relating to swinish enamel; bond strength obtained in human dentine, bovine and swinish did not present any significant difference among themselves; bond strength obtained after periods storage of 24 hours and 7 days did not present significant statistical differences

ABSTRACT

Se há estudiado in vitro la velocidad de la erosión en especímenes dentarios humanos expuestos a una bebida carbonatada en función del tiempo y de la temperatura, como así también el efecto de la formación experimental de película adquirida y del agregado de F- o de saliva sobre la capacidad disolvente de la bebida. En un primer ciclo de exposición, la erosión en función del tiempo siguió una curva bifásica, siendo baja la velocidad en los primeros 10 minutos: a partir de ese momento, la velocidad aumentó y se mantuvo estable hasta finalizar el periodo de incubación de 60 minutos. En el segundo ciclo, la desmineralización siguió una curva monofásica, con una velocidad constante en todo el periodo. En los estadios iniciales, la relación molar Ca/P fue mucho menor que la correspondiente a la hidroxiapatita (¼1,67), pero a medida que se prolongó la exposición a la bebida dicha relación alcanzó valores compatibles com los de esa especie mineral. La incorporación de F- o de saliva y la formación experimental de película adquirida redujo significativamente el poder desmineralizante de las bebidas (p < 0,0001). Este hallazgo plantea la posibilidad de atenuar la actividad erosiva de las bebidas carbonatadas adicionándoles cantidades de fluoruro que no sean excesivamente tóxicas.

ABSTRACT

The kinetics of (3)H-tymidine and (3)H-proline incorporated by ameloblasts and enamel, were studied in undecalcified mouse incisors from birth to 6 days of age. Serial cross sections of unfixed right incisors were cut with a cryotome. The left incisors were fixed in paraformaldehyde, embedded in polybed as to get sagital 1 mum-thick sections. (3)H-thymidine was used to determine the apparent daily migration rate of ameloblasts, which was 513 mum in the unfixed sections and 610 mum/p.d. in the fixed ones. The semi-thin epon-embedded sections were also used to measure the lengths of the regions of the secretory and post-secretory zone of amelogenesis and to determine their growth during the experimental period. (3)H-proline was used to show the fate of the enamel proteins by correlating the radiactivity, determined by silver grain counts, with the migration rate of the ameloblasts. The results showed that the (3)H-proline labeled protein reached a peak of radiactivity at 4 h over ameloblasts and between 24 and 48 h after injection over enamel. In the unfixed section of the righ incisor a second peak of reaction was shown at48 h over ameloblasts and at72 h over enamel matrix. All these peaks were related to ameloblasts and enamel of the secretory zone. These results were interpreted as the evidence of reabsorption and reutilization of labeled proteins broken down in the young enamel, but may also be explained as secretion of low molecular weight proteins which are not kept by fixation. Another evidence of reutilization of labeled compounts for the biosynthesis of enamel proteins were given by the labeling of ameloblasts and enamel formed after birth at a considerable time after the pulse of (3)H-proline.

ABSTRACT

A necessidade de serem desenvolvidos métodos de prevenção da cárie que sejam de rápida aplicação e seguros, levou ao aparecimento dos géis fluoretados para aplicação tópica em 1 minuto. A vantagem destes produtos é óbvia, tendo em vista que reduz o tempo do paciente na cadeira, diminui um possível risco de intoxicação por flúor e supera um dos grandes problemas para o uso de géis fluoretados em programas de saúde pública: o tempo de aplicação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi testar a absorção de flúor pelo esmalte humano "in vivo" promovida pela aplicação de um destes produtos, em relação a um gel fluoretado de 4 minutos já recomendado pelo Ministério da Saúde para programas de saúde pública. Foram utilizados 22 estudantes de odontologia que voluntariamente se prontificaram a participar do projeto. A absorção de flúor pelo esmalte dental foi avaliada por meio de biópsia com solução de HCIO4 a 0.5 M. Os resultados mostraram que quando não foi realizada profilaxia prévia, a absorção de flúor promovida pela aplicação do gel de 1 minuto foi similar à absorção promovida pelo gel fluoretado de 4 minutos, 1720,03 ± 743,00 ppm e 1708,18 ± 533,40 ppm respectivamente. Quando a profilaxia prévia foi realizada a absorção de flúor pelo esmalte foi de 1551,57 ± 555,75 e 2048 ± 543,70 ppm respectivamente. Embora cerca de 30//maior esta última diferença não foi estatisticamente significante por análise de variância. Embora outros estudos se façam necessários, estes resultados indicam que o gel fluoretado de 1 minuto pode ser de utilidade em programas de saúde pública, em odontopediatria e em pacientes cujo tempo de aplicação do flúor tenha que ser reduzido

ABSTRACT

Estudaram-se os efeitos da remoçäo das glândulas salivares maiores sobre a incorporaçäo de 3H-prolina pelos ameloblastos secretores e odontoblastos de incisivos de camundongos. Animais sialoadenectomizados e controles foram injetados com 3H-prolina, sendo sacrificados e perfundidos 30 min, 2h, 12h e 24h após. Cortes de 1*m obtidos de incisivos inferiores incluídos em Polybed foram radioautografados. A distribuiçäo percentual de gräos de prata reduzida/100*m* sobre as referidas células, assim como em suas respectivas matrizes, foi sempre maior nos animais sialoadenectomizadas, nos diferentes intervalos de tempo. Duas hipóteses poderiam explicar esses resultados: 1. um aumento na biossíntese protéica provavelmente devida à falta do fator submandibular inibidor da insulina (SII) associada a um relativo aumento do pool de 3H-prolina devido à remoçäo das glândulas salivares; 2. um decrécimo na degradaçäo protéica devido ao hipotireoidismo que eventualmente ocorre nos animais sialoadenectomizados
