Avaliação in vitro da capacidade do aparelho tri auto ZX em determinar o comprimento dos dentes nos casos de retratamento endodôntico

Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde.Este estudo in vitro avaliou a odontometria eletrônica, utilizando o Tri Auto ZX, nos casos de retratamento, cujos canais apresentavam remanescente de material obturador. Sessenta e dois dentes, após o preparo dos canais, foram mensurados pelo método direto (CD) e eletrônico (CE1) para então, serem obturados. Decorridos sete dias os canais foram desobturados e nova odontometria eletrônica foi realizada (CE2). As medidas CE1 e CE2 foram comparadas com CD. Dentro do limite de tolerância de ±0,50mm, o aparelho foi preciso em localizar o forame em 75,86 dos casos CE1, e em 81,03% dos casos de CE2

The sealing ability of MTA apical plugs exposed to a phosphate-buffered saline

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exposure of the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - with and without calcium chloride (CaCl2) - to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on the apical microleakage using a glucose leakage system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty root segments were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15). After resecting the apical segments and enlarging the canals with Gates-Glidden drills, the apical cavities were filled with MTA with or without CaCl2 and the root canals were dressed with a moistened cotton pellet or PBS, as follows: 1) MTA/cotton pellet; 2) MTA/PBS; 3) MTA+10%CaCl2/cotton pellet; 4) MTA+10%CaCl2/PBS. All root segments were introduced in floral foams moistened with PBS. After 2 months, all root segments were prepared to evaluate the glucose leakage along the apical plugs. The amount of glucose leakage was measured following an enzymatic reaction and quantified by a spectrophotometer. Four roots were used as controls. The data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (p;0.05), and 3 and 4 (p>;0.05). The addition of CaCl2 to the MTA significantly decreased its sealing ability (

Avaliação in vivo da penetração bacteriana em canais obturados, expostos a diferentes pressões e ao meio oral por diferentes períodos de tempo

Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em OdontologiaMetodologias ex vivo e in vitro para avaliação do selamento de canais obturados têm utilizado pressão para facilitar a infiltração de marcadores-fluídos como corantes, água e glicose. Porém, não há padrão na intensidade, forma e tempo de aplicação da pressão. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: 1) verificar a influência de duas intensidades de pressão (30 e 60 KPa) na penetração bacteriana em canais obturados; 2) correlacionar a profundidade desta penetração com o tempo de exposição ao meio oral (45 e 120 dias). Dentes de cães (n=122) foram instrumentados com o sistema ProTaper e obturados pela técnica do cone único de guta-percha com cimento AH Plus. Após a presa do cimento, os canais obturados foram divididos em grupos: A) não foram submetidos à pressão (n=34); B) submetidos a pressão de 30KPa (n=34); C) submetidos a pressão de 60KPa (n=34). O tempo de aplicação da pressão foi de 8 minutos. Após, todos os canais foram expostos ao meio oral de acordo com os sub-grupos: 1) 45 dias; 2) 120 dias. Todos os sub-grupos tiveram controle positivo e negativo. Decorridos estes períodos, os animais foram sacrificados, os dentes foram removidos e preparados para análise histobacteriológica. Com relação a pressão, o teste de Kruskal-Wallis não mostrou diferença estatística na penetração de micro-organismos entre os grupos A, B e C em ambos os períodos (45 dias p=0,903 e 120 dias p=0,211). Apesar de haver maior infiltração em 120 dias, não houve diferença estatística significativa na infiltração de bactérias quando comparados os tempos de exposição de 45 e 120 dias (p= 0,608). Concluiu-se que as pressões de 30 e 60 KPa não induziram modificações nas obturações a ponto de influenciar na penetração bacteriana nos diferentes períodos de tempo (p>0,05).Sealability assessment methodologies (ex vivo and in vitro) in endodontics have used pressure to facilitate the infiltration of fluid markers such as dyes, water and glucose. However, there is no standardization on the intensity, form and duration in the applied pressure. The objectives of this study were: 1) to evaluate the influence of the two intensities of pressure (30 and 60 kPa) on the bacterial penetration in the root canal fillings; 2) to correlate the depth of penetration with time of exposure to the oral environment (45 and 120 days). Root canals of dogs' teeth (n=122) were instrumented with the ProTaper system and filled by the technique of single cone of guttapercha and AH Plus cement. After the sealer setting, root canal fillings were subjected to different pressures during 8 minutes according to groups: A) without pressure (n = 34), B) 30kPa (n = 34), C) 60 kPa (n = 34). After all root canal fillings were exposed to the oral environment in accordance with sub-groups: 1) 45 days; 2)120 days. All sub-groups had positive and negative control. After these periods, the animals were sacrificed and the specimens were removed and prepared for histobacteriological analysis. Regarding the pressure there was no difference in the penetration of micro-organisms among the groups A, B and C in both periods (45 days p=0,903 and 120 days p=0,211). There was no significant difference in the penetration of bacteria when compared to the exposure times of 45 days and 120 days (p=0.608), although greater infiltration occurred in 120 days. In conclusion, the pressure of 30 and 60 kPa did not induce alterations in fillings that influence on the penetration of bacteria in the different periods of exposure

INFLUENCE OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE CONCENTRATION ON PAIN AFTER ENDODONTIC TREATMENT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

This systematic review (SR) searched the literature to answer whether different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) used in endodontic treatment interfere with the occurrence of postoperative pain. Two reviewers independently searched the following electronic databases: Cochrane Library, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus and Web of Science. Additionally, a search was performed in gray literature. It was included randomized clinical studies that evaluated the influence of different concentrations of NaOCl on postoperative pain. Studies that were not randomized clinical trials, or included retreatments, primary teeth or incomplete root formation or e with fractures and resorptions or even studies that did not use NaOCl were excluded. 705 studies were initially identified and, after reading the titles and abstracts, eighteen studies were selected for full reading. After applying the eligibility and exclusion criteria, nine studies were included in this SR. After that, NaOCl concentrations were dichotimized into high concentration (above 3%) and low concentration (between 0.5% and 3%). The risk of bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk-of-Bias Assessment Tool 2.0. The prevalence of postoperative pain was assessed through proportion meta-analysis using the MedCalc software. The overall quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE tool. In assessing risk of bias, three studies were judged as 'high risk' and one as 'some concerns'. The overall pooled prevalence of postoperative pain was 36.31% for NaOCl at higher concentrations and 45.35% for NaOCl at lower concentrations. After 7 days, none of the participants reported moderate or severe pain

Effect of Milk Renewal on Cell Viability In Vitro at Different Time Frames

<div><p>Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the renewal of milk as a storage medium, every 12, 24 and 48 h, is able to increase its ability to maintain human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) viability over time. PDLF were soaked in Minimum Essential Medium at 37 °C (MEM-37) (positive control), tap water (Water) (negative control) and in skimmed milk (44 wells) at 5 °C and 20 °C. The skimmed milk was renewed every 12 h (Milk-12), 24 h (Milk-24) and 48 h (Milk-48) in 11 wells of each plate, and the milk in the remaining 11 wells of each plate was maintained in situ (not renewed milk) (NRM). After 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h, cell viability was determined by the tetrazolium salt-based colorimetric (MTT) assay. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis, Scheffé and Mann-Whitney tests (a=5%). At 5 °C, only Milk-48 was significantly better than NRM. At 20 °C, NRM was more effective than Milk-12 and Milk-24 in all time periods. In relation to the temperature (5 °C or 20 °C), renewal of milk at 5 °C was better in maintaining cell viability than the renewal at 20 °C. In conclusion, the renewal of milk was able to increase its ability to maintain cell viability only when performed every 48 h in milk maintained at 5 °C.</p></div

Observation of the Λb0→χc1(3872)pK−\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow \chi_{c1}(3872)pK^- decay

International audienceUsing proton-proton collision data, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to 1.0, 2.0 and 1.9 fb$^{−1}$ of integrated luminosity at the centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively, the decay {\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1} (3872)pK$^{−}$ with χ$_{c1}$(3872) → J/ψ π$^{+}$π$^{−}$ is observed for the first time. The significance of the observed signal is in excess of seven standard deviations. It is found that (58 ± 15)% of the decays proceed via the two-body intermediate state χ$_{c1}$(3872)Λ(1520). The branching fraction with respect to that of the ${\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0$ → ψ(2S)pK$^{−}$ decay mode, where the ψ(2S) meson is reconstructed in the J/ψ π$^{+}$π$^{−}$ final state, is measured to be: $ \frac{\beta \left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}(3872){\mathrm{pK}}^{-}\right)}{\beta \left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to \uppsi \left(2\mathrm{S}\right){\mathrm{pK}}^{-}\right)}\times \frac{\beta \left({\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}(3872)\to \mathrm{J}/\uppsi {\uppi}^{+}{\uppi}^{-}\right)}{\beta \left(\uppsi \left(2\mathrm{S}\right)\to \mathrm{J}/\uppsi {\uppi}^{+}{\uppi}^{-}\right)}=\left(5.4\pm 1.1\pm 0.2\right)\times {10}^{-2},
