Análise histológica dos tecidos periapicais de dentes decíduos de cães após obturação de canais com diferentes materiais

The problem of finding an ideal material for filling root canals of deciduous teeth has not been solved yet. This fact led to the development of an experiment to histologically analyze the periapical tissue reaction to 3 root canal filling materials. Eighty root canals of dog deciduous anterior teeth from 6 animals, 60 days old, were used in this study. After biomechanical preparation, the root canals were filled with the following materials: slowly resorbable Maisto paste, Sealer 26 with iodoform, L&C paste (calcium hydroxide with olive oil) and as a control group, canals that were prepared but not filled. At thirty days after the treatment the animals were killed and the teeth prepared for histological analysis. The materials were ranked statistically from the best to the worst as follows: a - Maisto paste, b - Sealer 26 with iodoform, c - control group, d - L&C paste. There was significant difference (p = 0.01) only when the results of the other groups were compared with the L&C paste group. It was also observed that L&C paste was not biologically compatible and that the other materials were biocompatible but their resorption was not at the same rate as that of the deciduous teeth roots.O objetivo de encontrar um material ideal para obturar canais radiculares de dentes decíduos ainda não foi alcançado. Esse fato estimulou a realização de uma experimentação para analisar histologicamente a reação dos tecidos periapicais a 3 materiais obturadores de canal. Assim, oitenta canais radiculares de dentes decíduos anteriores de 6 cães, com 60 dias de idade, fora empregados neste estudo. Após o preparo biomecânico, os canais radiculares foram obturados com os seguintes materiais: pasta lentamente reabsorvível de Maisto, Sealer 26 com iodofórmio, pasta L&C (hidróxido de cálcio com óleo de oliva) e, como grupo controle, dentes cujos canais foram preparados biomecanicamente mas não obturados. Trinta dias após o tratamento os animais foram mortos e as peças processados para análise histológica. Os resultados permitiram ordenar estatisticamente os materiais do melhor para o pior da seguinte maneira: a- Pasta de Maisto, b- Sealer 26 com iodofórmio, c- grupo controle, d- Pasta L&C. Foi observado diferença significante (p=0,01) somente quando os resultados dos diferentes grupos foram comparados com o grupo da pasta L&C. Foi também observado que a pasta L&C não foi biologicamente compatível enquanto os outros materiais foram biocompatíveis, porém suas velocidades de reabsorção não foram a mesma observada com as raízes dos dentes decíduos

Influência do cimento obturador e de um "plug" na infiltração coronária após preparo para pino

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar "in vitro" a infiltração marginal coronária após obturação de canal e preparo para pino, empregando-se ou não um "plug" protetor. Cem dentes humanos unirradiculares extraídos tiveram suas coroas removidas, e os canais preparados biomecanicamente e obturados pela técnica da condensação lateral com cones de guta-percha e os cimentos CRCS e Endofill. Após preparo para pino, os remanescentes das obturações foram ou não protegidos por 1 mm de um "plug" dos seguintes materiais: Coltosol, Super Bonder, CRCS e Endofill. Após permanecerem 24 horas em soro fisiológico, os espécimes foram imersos em solução de azul de metileno a 2%, em ambiente com vácuo, por 24 horas. Os dentes foram então seccionados longitudinalmente, as infiltrações marginais mensuradas linearmente, e os dados obtidos submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Os resultados com os 2 cimentos estudados foram semelhantes entre si e piores (ñThe subject of this paper was to conduct an in vitro study of the coronal leakage after root canal filling and post space preparation. One hundred single-rooted human teeth had their crowns removed and the canals prepared and filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and the sealers CRCS and Endofill (a Grossman cement). After post space preparation, the remainder of the filling was protected or not with 1mm of a plug of the following materials: Coltosol, Super Bonder (cyanoacrylate-ester), CRCS and Endofill. After 24 hours in saline, the specimens were immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution in a vacuum environment for 24 hours. The teeth were then sectioned longitudinally, leakage was evaluated linearly and the obtained data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results with the two sealers studied were similar between themselves and worse (

Effect of MTA-based sealer on the healing of periapical lesions

Some manufacturers have recently added specific components to improve the ease of handling and insertion material properties of MTA in order to create MTA-based sealers. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of periapical lesions in canine teeth after a single session of endodontic treatment with MTA Fillapex® compared with Sealapex® or Endo-CPM-Sealer®. Material and Methods Sixty-two root canals were performed on two 1-year-old male dogs. After coronal access and pulp extirpation, the canals were exposed to the oral cavity for 6 months in order to induce periapical lesions. The root canals were prepared, irrigated with a solution of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and filled with gutta-percha and different sealers, according to the following groups: 1) Sealapex®; 2) Endo-CPM-Sealer®; and 3) MTA Fillapex®. Some teeth with periapical lesions were left untreated for use as positive controls. Healthy teeth were used as negative controls. After 6 months, the animals were sacrificed and serial sections from the roots were prepared for histomorphologic analysis and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and the Brown and Brenn technique. The lesions were scored according to pre-established histomorphologic parameters and the scores statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results All 3 materials produced similar patterns of healing (p>;0.05); in particular, persistent inflammation and absence of complete periapical tissue healing were consistently noted. Conclusions Preparation of the infected root canals followed by filling with the materials studied was insufficient to provide complete healing of the periapical tissues

Evaluation of tissue reaction to Aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva) extracts: a histologic and edemogenic study

Objectives: This study evaluated subcutaneous tissue response to Aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva) extract employing edemogenic and histological analyses. Material and methods: Test groups consisted of aqueous and ethanolic Aroeira extracts and saline (control). For groups consisted of aqueous and ethanolic Aroeira extracts and saline Blue. After 30 min, the extracts and saline were injected on the dorsum of the rats, which were then sacrificed after 3 and 6 h. Readings were performed in a spectrophotometer. For subcutaneous implantation, 30 rats received a polyethylene tube containing the extracts on their dorsum and then they were killed after 7 and 28 days. The samples were processed for histological analysis and evaluated with a light microscope. The inflammatory infiltrate was quantified. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between aqueous extract and saline groups in relation to edema quantification in the different periods (p > 0.05). Ethanolic solution resulted in more edema independently of the experimental period (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed similar results on the 7-day period for the 3 groups. There was a notable reduction on inflammatory cell number for saline and aqueous extract groups at 28 days. Conclusion: The aqueous extract showed biocompatible properties similar to those of saline.Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES)Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES

Sealability of MTA and calcium hydroxidecontaining sealers

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical sealability of Fillapex®, endo-CPM-Sealer® and Sealapex®. Material and Methods: Ninety-four freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were selected and decoronated. All teeth were radiographed to confirm the existence of a single and straight root canal, which was prepared using Protaper Universal and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The teeth were randomly divided in groups of 10 specimens each according to the sealer, and the canals were filled using the single cone technique and one of the sealers. Four additional teeth were used as controls. The teeth were submitted to dye leakage with Rhodamine B for 24 h but using vacuum on the initial 15 min. Thereafter, they were cut longitudinally and the leakage was measured in a linear fashion from apex to crown. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests at 5% significance level. Results: Fillapex® and Sealapex® showed significantly less dye leakage than endo-CPM-Sealer® (

Guerra pela memória: Malvinas e o embate entre veteranos (militares e civis) e familiares de soldados mortos no campo da construção de memórias

We start the article by analyzing the conflicting field of constructing memories on traumatic events that marked History. Afterwards, we focus on how this conflict takes place in the construction of memories about the Malvinas War, which involve various sectors of Argentine society, mainly veterans of war, military and civilians, and relatives of fallen soldiers. The analyzed period starts in 1982, with the end of the war, and ends in 2015, the year of conclusion of the research. When analyzing the vast Argentine bibliographic material on the subject and interviewing veterans and family members of soldiers who died in the conflict, we concluded that the main factor in the conflict in the construction of memories of the war is that it was undertaken by a government of a military dictatorship, which, for a group, is an aspect that should always be remembered due to the abuses committed by officers against conscripts in the front, and, for others, should be forgotten to avoid arguments that delegitimize the war. Keywords: Constructions of memories. Malvinas War. Argentine Military Dictatorship.Comenzamos el artículo analizando el campo conflictivo de la construcción de la memoria sobre hechos traumáticos que marcaron la Historia. Posteriormente, nos enfocamos en cómo se procesa este conflicto en la construcción de memorias sobre la Guerra de Malvinas, que involucran a diversos sectores de la sociedad argentina, especialmente a veteranos de guerra, militares y civiles, y familiares de soldados muertos. El período analizado comienza en 1982, con el fin de la guerra, y finaliza en 2015, año de conclusión de la investigación. Al analizar el vasto material bibliográfico argentino sobre el tema y entrevistar a veteranos y familiares de militares fallecidos en el conflicto, concluimos que el factor principal en la construcción de memorias bélicas es que fue emprendido por un gobierno de dictadura militar, que para un grupo es un aspecto que siempre hay que recordar por los abusos cometidos por los oficiales contra los conscriptos en el frente, y para otros hay que olvidarlo para evitar discursos que deslegitiman la guerra.
