OBJECTIVETo optimize the dynamic extraction process of salvianolic acids.

METHODSalvianolic acids was selected as index. The effects of extraction temperature, granularity, solvent multiple, circle value and extraction time were studied on the process of dynamical extraction. The orthogonal experiment was employed to investigate the influence of different parameters.

RESULTThe optimal extracting method of salvianolic acids was as follows: temperature was 80 degrees C, granularity was 4 mm, circle value was 30 L x h(-1), solvent multiple was 10 times and extraction time was 150 min.

CONCLUSIONBy comparison to static extraction, dynamic extraction can improve the extraction efficiency, reduce the solvent and energy consumption, as well as lower the burden of post-processing.

Objective This test aimed to investigate the factors affecting the locking force between the implant and abutment and the amount of abutment subsidence in pure Morse taper connection implant systems.Methods With ref-erence to the Bicon implant abutment connection design,different types of implant specimens and their corresponding types of abutments were fabricated.The implant-abutment locking taper was uniformly 1.5°.The locking depths were 1.0,2.0,and 3.0 mm.The diameters of the locking column were 2.5,3.0,and 3.5 mm.The thicknesses of the outer wall of the implant were 0.15 and 0.30 mm.The loading forces of the testing machine were 200,300,and 400 N.At least 10 specimens of each group of implant-abutment were used.All specimens were loaded in the same manner using a univer-sal testing machine(finger pressure + specified loading force,five times).The total height of the implant-abut-ment was measured before finger pressure,after finger pressure,and after the testing machine was loaded for five times to calculate the amount of sinking of the abutment.Finally,the implant and abutment were pulled apart using the universal testing machine,and the subluxation force was observed and recorded.Results The test loading force,locking depth,and locking post diameter had an effect on the implant-abutment locking force and abutment subsidence.The implant-abutment locking force increased with the increase in the test loading force,locking depth,and locking post diameter(R=0.963,0.607,and 0.372,respectively),with the test loading force having the most significant effect.Abut-ment subsidence increased with the increase in test loading force(R=0.645)and decreased with the increase in locking depth and locking post diameter(R=-0.807 and-0.280,respectively),with locking depth having the most significant ef-fect on abutment subsidence.No significant correlation was found between the thickness of the outer wall of the implant and the change in the magnitude of the implant-abutment locking force.However,an increase in the thickness of the out-er wall of the implant decreased the amount of abutment subsidence,which was inversely correlated.Conclusion The locking force of the implant-abutment can be increased by adjusting the design of the pure Morse taper connection im-plant-abutment connection,increasing the locking depth and locking post diameter,and increasing the amount and num-ber of times the abutment is loaded during seating.Problems,such as loosening or detachment of the abutment,can be re-duced.The recommended abutment to be loaded should be no less than five times during seating to prevent the abutment from sinking and causing changes in the occlusal relationship in the later stages.Preliminary occlusal adjustments should only be conducted in the early stages of the use of temporary restorations,and final restorations and occlusal adjustments are recommended to be performed after using the abutment for a period of time.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical efficacy of simple taper retentive implants in the posterior dental area after immediate implantation for 5-7 years. METHODS: Selected from January 2015 to December 2017 in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University dental clinic line tooth area immediately after the implant prosthesis, a total of 38 patients, 53 implants, were deep into (bone under 2 mm or higher) and the upper structure was repaired. In addition, after the completion of tracking observation of 60-90 months, the implant surrounding bone health was recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: After 5-7 years of follow-up, 1 of the 53 implants failed to fall out, and the implant retention rate was 98.1%. The amount of bone resorption in the proximal and distal margins 5-7 years after implant restoration was (0.16±0.94) mm and (-0.01±1.29) mm, respectively, and the difference in bone height between the proximal and distal margins of the implant and the immediate post-restoration period was not statistically significant (P>0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in the effects of periodontitis, implant site inflammation, and smoking on peri-implant marginal bone resorption (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The single taper-retained implant broadens the indications for immediate implant placement in the posterior region, and its deep sub-osseous placement (≥2 mm below the bone) avoids to a certain extent the disturbance of the implant by external stimuli and the exposure of the cervical abutment of the implant, with the good long-term stability of the marginal bone around the implant.

Epidermoid cysts are generally benign neoplastic lesions, the etiology of which is unclear and is mainly related to epithelial cells left in the tissues during the embryonic period and traumatically implanted in the tissues. The most common intraosseous sites are the phalanges and the skull. Epidermoid cysts occurring in the jaws are clinically rare. In this paper, we report a case of epidermoid cyst occurring in the mandible with embedded teeth and discuss the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of epidermoid cysts in the jaws in the context of the relevant literature.
