ABSTRACT
Previous researchers have shown that there exists an interaction between gingival blood flow and gingival health. The purpose of this study was to compare the papillary blood flow at sites treated by a bridge with the blood flow at untreated sites. Twenty persons with resin-bonded fixed partial dentures were included in the study. The contralateral natural teeth of the site symmetrical to that of the restorations were used as controls. Blood flow was measured from the middle point of the papillae from both test and control sites by Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF). The plaque index, papillary bleeding index and probing depth measurements were recorded. There was a statistically significant difference between the test and control sites in papillary blood flow measurements and clinical indices (p < 0.05). Moreover, there was statistical significance between gingival blood flow measurements and papillary bleeding index in the experimental group (p < 0.05). In short, there exists an important relationship between resin-bonded fixed partial dentures and papillary blood flow. Although there were no correlations between LDF values and clinical parameters, it can be emphasized, within the limits of the study, that LDF readings have limited diagnostic value, at least when it comes to clinical performance of fixed prosthesis.
RESUMEN
Investigadores anteriores han mostrado que existe una interacción entre el flujo de sangre gingival y la salud gingival. El propósito de este estudio fue comparar el flujo de sangre papilar en los sitios tratado por un puente, con el flujo de la sangre en los sitios no tratados. Veinte personas con prótesis dental parcial fija adherida con resina fueron incluidas en el estudio. Los dientes naturales contralaterales del sitio simétrico al de las restauraciones, se usaron como controles. El flujo de sangre se midió a partir del punto medio de las papilas de los sitios de prueba y de control, usando un medidor de flujo mediante Láser Doppler (LDF). Se registraron el índice de la placa, el índice de sangramiento papilar, y las mediciones para el examen de la profundidad. Hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los sitios de la prueba y los de control en las mediciones del flujo de sangre papilar y los índices clínicos (p <0.05). Más aún hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las mediciones del flujo de sangre gingival y el índice de sangramiento papilar en el grupo del experimento (p <0.05). En resumen, existe una relación importante entre la prótesis dental parcial fija adherida con resina y el flujo de sangre papilar. Aunque no había ninguna correlación entre los valores de LDF y los parámetros clínicos, puede subrayarse - dentro de los límites del estudio - que las lecturas de LDF tienen un valor diagnóstico limitado, al menos cuando se trata del funcionamiento clínico de la prótesis fija.
