BACKGROUND:At present, the confrontation of CAD/CAM systems and the lost wax casting method for marginal adaptation has been widely concerned, but the results are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare the marginal adaptation of single cobalt-chromium PFM crowns produced by 3 Shape CAD/CAM systems and the lost wax casting method. METHODS: A maxilary first premolar was prepared according to the standards. 50 resin-generation models were created by bi-color silicone rubber method and randomly divided into two groups: CAD/CAM group (A1-A25) and cast group (B1-B25). Al the models were cast in plaster. In CAD/CAM group, the digital impressions were obtained by optical scanning, then designed through computer and cut directly by NC miling machine. In cast group, metal ceramic crowns were made by the lost wax casting method. When crowns were al seated on the working dies, the marginal gaps were copied with light silicone rubber and then embedded with occlusal silicone rubber. The thickness of crown marginal gap was measured with a stereo microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average vertical clearance was (34.67±7.48)μm of CAD/CAM group, while (53.70±9.64)μm of the cast group; the difference was statisticaly significant between two groups (P < 0.05). The average level clearance was (37.61±7.63)μm of CAD/CAM group, while (53.02±10.65)μm of the cast group, and the difference was statisticaly significant between two groups (P < 0.05). Experimental findings suggest that, the marginal adaptation of single cobalt-chromium PFM crowns cast produced by 3 Shape CAD/CAM systems is clinical acceptable (< 120μm), and CAD/CAM systems of metal casting is obviously better than the lost wax casting in building metal based crowns with adaptable margin.

BACKGROUND: Clinical experiments indicates that Yufeng capsule (composed of milkvetch root, angelica, szechwan lovage rhizome, senega and salvia miltiorrhiza) is effective for benefiting vital energy, circulating blood flow,dispelling gores and killing inflammation. The mechanism may be associated with the function of platelet aggregation, changes of contents of thromboxane B (TXB) and 6-Ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 α) in plasma.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of Yufeng capsule on the platelet aggregation and its mechanism.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Pathology, Daqing Branch of Harbin Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Pharmacology, Daqing Branch of Harbin Medical University from May 2000 to July 2004. A total of 40 Wistar male gerontic rats with mean age of (8-10) weeks and mean body mass of (550±150) g and 8 Wistar male young rats with mean age of 4-6 weeks and mean body mass of (230±120) g were selected.METHODS: The 8 Wistar male youth rats were selected as youth control group. The 40 Wistar male gerontic rats were selected as the blood stasis model, and according to the numeration table method they were classified into 5 groups: aspirin group, low-dose Yufeng capsule group, the middle-dose Yufeng capsule group, high-dose Yufeng capsule group and gerontic model group, with 8 rats in each group. The Yufeng capsule was constituted by milkvetch root, angelica, szechwan lovage rhizome, senega and salvia miltiorrhiza, and provided by the Preparation Office, Second Affiliated Hospital,Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine. Respectively the rats were injected with aspirin solution (5.5 g/kg), Yufeng capsule (0.33 g/kg, 0.66 g/kg and 1.32 g/kg), successively for 22 days by gastric perfusion, twice a day.Those in the gerontic group and youth control group were not treated with any drug One hour after last time administration, function of platelet aggregation(PAG), contents of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-Ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 α) in plasma were examined with platelet aggregation method and radioimmunoassay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Function of platelet aggregation; contents of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 α as well as ratio of TXB2 to 6-keto-PGF1α.RESULTS: Totally 48 animals were involved in the result analysis. ①The PAG was higher in the gerontic model group than other groups (P < 0.01).②One minute platelet aggregation rate (PAG1), five minutes platelet aggregation rate (PAG5)and the maximal platelet aggregation rate (PAGM) in the high-dose Yufeng capsule group were lower than those in the aspirin group[(7.96±2.17), (6.38±1.66), (14.33±2.87) ng/L and (31.95±3.94),(35.29±6.54), (38.68±7.46) ng/L, respectively(P < 0.01 )]. PAG5 in the middle-dose group was lower than that in the aspirin group [(13.96±1.66),(35.29±6.54) ng/L, (P < 0.01 )]. ③TXB2 content in the low-dose Yufengcapsule group, middle-dose Yufeng capsule group, high-dose Yufeng capsule group, aspirin group and youth control group was lower than that in the gerontic model group (P < 0.01). ④The TXB2 content in the high-dose Yufeng capsule group was lower than that in the low-dose Yufeng capsule group [( 100.13±8.90), (127.00±20.99) ng/L, (P < 0.01 )]. ⑤TXB2/6-ke-to-PGF1 α in the high-dose Yufeng capsule group, middle-dose Yufeng capsule group and youth control group was lower than that in the gerontic model group [0.62±0.17,0.69±0.14,1.75±0.17,1.11±1.12, (P < 0.05 )].CONCLUSION: High-dose and middle-dose Yufeng capsule is able to decrease the content of TXB2 and increase the content of 6-keto-PGF1 α, and improve their ratio. It is important to enhance the balance of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 α. The effect in the low-dose Yufeng capsule group is lower as compared with that in the high-dose and middle-dose Yufeng capsule groups. It is thought that the low-dose Yufeng capsule has preventive effect.
