Efetividade do hipoclorito de sódio usado isoladamente ou em associação com o EDTA sobre a difusão de íons hidroxila liberados de pasta de hidróxido de cálcio

AIM: To evaluate the effect of different irrigant solutions employed during removal and replacement of calcium hydroxide paste on the diffusion of hydroxyl ions through root canal dentine in vitro. METHODOLOGY: Thirty-five maxillary and mandibular human canines with straight and fully developed roots were used. After mechanical preparation up to 1mm short of tooth length, 30 canals were filled with calcium hydroxide paste and 5 canals were left empty; all teeth had their coronal accesses properly sealed. Teeth were placed in plastic containers with distilled water, and pH was read after 30 days when the paste from 20 teeth was renewed. After removal of the paste by endodontic instrumentation and irrigation with distilled water, canals were replenished with newly mixed paste in Group 1 and 2. In these groups, final irrigation was conducted with 5 mL of EDTA followed by 5 mL of NaOCl in specimens in Group 1, and 5 mL of NaOCl only in specimens in Group 2. In 10 teeth the paste was not replenished at 30 days (Group 3). All specimens were returned to the containers with fresh distilled water, and the pH was recorded after another 30 days. The differences between the first (30d) and second (60d) pH readings were calculated and submitted to analysis of variance and individual comparisons using the Scheffeé's test. RESULTS: Results of mean analysis on differences of pH readings showed that greater diffusion had occurred on specimens in Group 3. Individual comparisons using Scheffeé's test showed statistical significance between Groups 2 and 3, and equivalence between all other groups. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the use of EDTA did not enhance diffusion of hydroxyl ions through root canal dentine.OBJETIVO: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar o efeito de diferentes irrigantes, usados durante a troca da pasta de hidróxido de cálcio, sobre a difusão de íons hidroxila. METODOLOGIA: Foram empregados 35 caninos humanos, com canais retos e raízes totalmente formadas. Efetuado o preparo mecânico até 1 mm aquém do comprimento do dente, 30 canais foram preenchidos com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio e 5 permaneceram vazios (controle). Após o selamento, os dentes foram colocados em frascos plásticos contendo água destilada. Passados 30 dias, o pH da água foi medido e a pasta de 20 dentes foi renovada. Depois de removê-la com água destilada e instrumentos endodônticos e, antes de repô-la, foi feita uma irrigação com 5 ml de EDTA seguida de 5 ml de NaOCl (Grupo 1) ou somente com 5 ml de NaOCl (Grupo 2). Em 10 dentes, a pasta não foi renovada (Grupo 3). Os dentes foram repostos em seus frascos com nova água destilada e, após 30 dias, o pH foi novamente registrado. As diferenças nas medidas de pH, realizadas aos 30 e 60 dias, foram calculadas e submetidas à análise de variância e a comparações individuais pelo teste de Scheffeé. RESULTADOS: A análise das diferenças mostrou que a difusão foi maior nos dentes do Grupo 3. Comparações individuais usando o teste de Scheffeé mostraram significância estatística entre os Grupos 2 e 3 e equivalência entre todos os outros grupos. CONCLUSÃO: O uso do EDTA não aumentou a difusão de íons hidroxila através da dentina radicular

Crown discoloration promoted by materials used in regenerative endodontic procedures and effect of dental bleaching: spectrophotometric analysis

Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) has been proposed as a new approach to treat immature permanent teeth. However, materials used in REP for root canal disinfection or cervical sealing may induce tooth discoloration. Objectives To assess tooth crown’s color after intracanal treatment with triple antibiotic paste (TAP) or calcium hydroxide (CH); cervical sealing with glass ionomer cement (GIC) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA); and bleaching with carbamide peroxide. Material and Methods After pulp removal and color spectrophotometer measurement, 50 bovine incisors were divided into 4 experimental groups and one control (untreated). Experiments were performed in phases (Ph). Ph1: TAP (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, minocycline), TAPM (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, amoxicillin), DAP (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole), or CH treatment groups. After 1 and 3 days (d); 1, 2, 3 weeks (w); and 1, 2, 3 and 4 months (m), color was measured and medications were removed. Ph2: GIC or MTA cervical sealing, each using half of the specimens from each group. Color was assessed after 1d, 3d; 1w, 2w, 3w; 1m and 2m. Ph3: Two bleaching sessions, each followed by color measurement. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and post-hoc Holm-Sidak method. Results Ph1: Specimens of TAP group presented higher color alteration (ΔE) mean than those of TAPM group. No significant difference was found among TAP or TAPM and CH, DAP or Control groups. Ph2: cervical sealing materials showed no influence on color alteration. Ph3: Different ΔE means (from different groups), prior to bleaching, became equivalent after one bleaching session. Conclusions TAP induces higher color alteration than TAPM; color alteration increases over time; cervical sealing material has no influence on color alteration; and, dental bleaching was able to recover, at least partially, the tooth crown’s color

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 (

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Estudo in vitro do transporte de ions hidroxida e calcio atraves da dentina radicular

Dissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciencias da SaudeO objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o transporte, através da dentina radicular, de íons hidroxila e cálcio, provenientes de hidróxido de cálcio veiculado em água destilada ou propileno glicol e, paralelamente, observar a influência de trocas da medicação sobre esse transporte. A análise das medidas de pH e de concentração de cálcio, registradas ao longo de 127 dias, permitiu observar que os íons hidroxila e cálcio se difundem através da dentina radicular, sem diferenças significativas em relação aos veículos empregados e que as trocas da medicação não foram capazes de aumentar o transporte iônico. Abstract : The present research had as a goal to assess diffusion, through radicular dentin, of hydroxyl and calcium ions, such as generated by calcium hydroxide associated to different vehicles and, at the same time, to observe the influence medication changes might exert upon such diffusion. To that end, 08 (eight) extracted dog's teeth were employed. Following emptying of canals, removal of cementum and covering of the apical portion, the teeth were divided into 04 (four) groups. ln two groups, the canals were filled with calcium hydroxide in a propylene glycol vehicle (Group 1), or distilled water (Group 2). Teeth in Group 3 were filled with an identical paste to that of Group 1, changes of the medication being carried out at every 4 weeks. Teeth in Group 4 were kept empty, becoming the control group. After coronary sealing, the teeth were placed into individual plastic containers with 10 ml deionized water. Along a period of 127 days the water was collected at various time intervals in an effort to record pH and calcium concentration. Analysis of such data made possible to note hydroxyl and calcium ions permeate through the radicular dentin, without significant differences as it regards the vehicles employed. It was also observed the changes of medication were not able to increase ion diffusion

The role of dentists in-diagnosing osteogenesis imperfecta in patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta

Background. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as ""brittle bone disease,"" can be difficult to diagnose in its mild form. The authors describe a clinical case of a diagnosis of dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), In which a literature review combined with an analysis of dental alterations led to indications of OI involvement. Case Description. Since DI can be associated with OI, the authors reviewed correlated studies and obtained a new medical history from the patient. They then conducted a radiographic and clinical examination of the dentition and submitted an affected third molar to scanning electron microscopy analysis. They compared their findings with descriptions of OI type I dental alterations in the literature and confirmed their diagnosis by means of a medical evaluation. Clinical Implications. In cases in which DI is diagnosed, patients should be examined carefully and the occurrence of OI should be considered `since, in its mild form, it might be misdiagnosed
