Journal of Practical Stomatology 2001;0(03):-
Objective: To study the effect of cementation materials on the fracture resistance of metal free premolar Artglass crown. Methods: Thirty extracted human maxillary premolars were regularly prepared for cementation. Artglass crowns were cemented onto the teeth with zinc phosphate cement (ZnP), glass ionomer cement(GIC)or a resinous cement in combination with a dentinal bonding agent. Each of the cementation material was applied in 10 premolars. Artificial crowns were vertically loaded until the Artglass crowns compressed to failure. Significant differences of fracture loads between experimental groups were assessed by paired t test. Results: The fracture load(N) of ZnP, GIC and resinous cement were 1 743.1 ?383.4, 1 682.4?613.7 and 2 226.9?270.1 respectively( P

Objective: To observe the effects of acid etching times on nano-leakage and microtensile bond strength(?TBS) of the 4 total-etching adhesives-dentin bond.Methods: Superficial occlusal dentin surfaces of 80 molars were prepared with 600-grit SiC paper under running water.4 adhesives were applied to dentin surfaces under different etching time.The bonded teeth were sectioned occluso-gingivally into 1.0 mm?1.0 mm?4.0 mm serial slabs which were prepared for TEM and ?TBS tests.Results: Under 15 s etching time for 4 adhesives,the highest ?TBS(OB(25.36?4.18) MPa,SB(24.25?3.97) MPa,OS(28.65?4.93) MPa,PB(27.12?4.13) MPa) were achieved,and the amount of nanoleakage was positively correlated with the length of etching time.Conclusion: Etching for a reasonable time demineralizes the dentin surface to a moderate depth,resulting in higher ?TBS and lower nanoleakage.

Objective:To test the effects of different preparation methods on the shear bond strength between porcelain veneers and the brackets.Methods:48 metal-porcelain veneers were randomly and evenly divided into two groups. The veneers in group 1 were grinded with stone, while others were intact. The veneers were bonded by acid etching,silicone coupler and acid etching combined with silicone coupler respectively.After bonding and 500 thermo cycle treatment, all veneers were submitted to shear bond strength test and the incidence of porcelain fracture was recorded.Results:The shear bond strength of the grinded samples was higher than that of the intact(P

Objective To investigate the effects of a corrective tr ea tment on open bite malformations, such as gnash their teeth, nail-biting, tongu e thrusting, impacted tooth, cross bite with improper correction, open bite defo rmity resulted from premature shedding of deciduous tooth and molar cysts. Methods We used dental resin technology: acid etching the teeth, adh ering metal clasps to the teeth by means of composite resin, and applying elasti c bands for intermaxillary traction to correct the cross bite. Results We had treated 22 patients, age ranged from 7-30, with the malformatio ns resulted from different kinds of reasons, and obtained significant results. Conclusion With cooperation of the patients, simple corrections for open bite with sticky clasp and occlusion with elastic band are easy to car ry on, with short period of treatment time, and every patient gets prominent out come. It is effective, prior to commonly-used corrective therapy and deserves t o be widely used.

Objective:To measure the effect of disinfection on dimension stability of four high polymer impression materials which were separately immersed in 20 ml/L glutaraldehyde solution.Methods:Fifteen plaster replication models of four high polymer impression materials(Impregum Penta polyether, Express-Putty silicone, Silagum-Putty silicone, GC EXAFINE silicone) were made on the same metal master cast respectively. Vertical and horizontal dimensions between landmarks on the masters and plaster casts were measured with an optical microscope,one-way ANOVA was used to compare the measurements among the materials.Results:The difference between the masters and Casts in horizontal distances measured on Express-Putty silicone impression material produced models was longer than those on other high polymer impression materials produced ones after disinfection for 20 minutes and beyond clinical requirement. Compared with metal master cast, the difference became significant when these four silicone impression materials were disinfected for 40 minutes. Conclusion: Among the four kinds of impression materials, the Express-Putty silicone material is relatively the most accurate one after disinfection for 20 minutes.

AIM: To observe the changes of Ca-L current (ICa-L) and to investigate the mechanism of salvia miltiorrhizae (SM) for eliminating Ca~2+ overloaded in cells during acute hypoxia/reoxygenation. METHODS: The whole cell patch clamp technique was applied to study the changes of ICa-L. Different concentrations (32, 320, ~3 200 mg/L) of SM were added to the ventricular myocytes isolated from guinea pigs by enzyme digestion. RESULTS: SM (32, 320, ~3 200 mg/L) decreased the amplitude of ICa-L in a concentration-dependent manner regardless of these cells were under normoxia, hypoxia or reoxygenation. Furthermore, SM at low concentration (32 mg/L) was more effective to hypoxia or reoxygenation-treated cells than that to the cells under normoxia condition. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that SM effectively decreases the abnormal raised amplitude of ICa-L in ventricular myocytes under hypoxia or reoxygenation conditions, preventing Ca~2+ overloaded in the cells.

Objective: To compare the fracture resistance of pulpless teeth restored with three types of post core.Methods: A total of 21 recently extracted sound upper incisors were randomly distributed into 3 groups. In group A the teeth were restored with prefabricated glass fiber post and composite core; in group B with custom cast titanium alloy post and core; and in group C with Ni Cr alloy dowel core. The size and shape of posts were identical in the 3 groups. All teeth were fully covered with Ni Cr alloy cast crown. Fracture resistance was measured by applying a point force at 130 degrees to the long axis of the teeth. Results: Mean fracture threshold was (276.6?15.1)N in group A, (394.7?29.1)N in group B and (373.4? 53.8 )N in group C. In group B and C, however, fracture always affected the tooth itself,whereas in group A,the core always failed first. Conclusion: Fiber reinforced composite(FRC) post may meet the clinical need, FRC post combined with composite core may prevent tooth root from fracture.
