title: Evaluation of the presence of furcation canal in molars by the scanning electron microscopy

description: Abstract Introduction The pulp cavity is still a mystery to be solved, because there may be numerous branches that need to be clarified so that the clinician can interpret and develop its role properly. One of the anatomical variations, which presents great controversy in the literature, is the recognition of the presence of the furcation canal. This canal comes from the pulp chamber floor, traverses the inter-radicular dentin and reaches the periodontal ligament in furcation region, constituting one of the lines of communication between the periodontal ligament and the pulp tissue, and may serve as a means of contamination. Objective To study the frequency of furcation canals in molars. Material and method Review of 5 (five) maxillary first molars, 10 (ten) maxillary seconds molars, 10 (ten) mandibular first molars and 10 (ten) mandibular seconds molars, using scanning electron microscopy. Result It was observed the presence of foramina in 30 floors and 50 of furcas of the mandibular first molar and 40 and 60 on the floor and furca of the mandibular second molar, respectively. The diameter of these foraminas ranged from 32 µm up to 312 µm. Conclusion The prevalence of furcation canal is variable when analyzing the different methodologies.

title: Comparison of two methods of dental prophylaxis: evaluation of arterial pressure and patient comfort in a clinical randomized controlled trial

description: Abstract Introduction The number of hypertensive patients is increasing and prophylaxis with bicarbonate jet are widely performed in clinical practice using large amounts of this substance in a short period of time, which may lead to increased arterial pressure. In the literature there are several studies that analyze the effect of sodium bicarbonate jet on the biofilm and dental structures, but not report the effect on arterial pressure. Aim Evaluated the change in arterial pressure before and after two procedures of dental prophylaxis, jet baking soda application and conventional prophylaxis, and patient opinion of the comfort of each system was obtained. Material and method We selected 20 patients aged 18 to 30 in need of prophylaxis to remove biofilm. The patients were placed into three different treatment groups: sodium bicarbonate jet (G1), conventional prophylaxis (G2) and control (G3), with a one month interval between treatments. Patients were divided into groups randomly. Measurements were performed immediately before and after the procedure, 15 and 30 minutes after the end of treatment. Patient comfort was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the end of each treatment. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. Result There was a statistically significant difference in the comfort of the procedures, with G2 and G3 being better than G1. Additionally, an increase in the diastolic blood pressure was observed in sodium bicarbonate jet group evaluated just after the procedure. Conclusion The conventional prophylaxis is more comfortable from the patient stand point and does not alter arterial pressure.

title: Evaluation of bone loss due to primary occlusal trauma in two experimental models of occlusal overload

description: Abstract Introduction Primary occlusal trauma (OT) is an injury of the periodontium with normal height as a result of occlusal forces which exceed their adaptive capacity. Objective To evaluate, histometrically, the alveolar bone loss in the furcation region of rats experimentally submitted to 2 models of occlusal overload. Material and method 45 animals randomly divided into 3 groups: Occlusal Interference (OI, n = 15) - fixing an orthodontic wire segment on the occlusal surface of the first lower molar; Occlusal Overload (OO, n = 15) - wearing of the cusps of the lower contralateral molars, the second and third molars next to the first molar that had its dimensions maintained; Negative Control (NC, n = 15) - evaluation of the initial dimensions of the periodontal ligament (PL). Five animals / group were sacrificed after 14, 21 and 28 days. Result Intergroup evaluation showed significant bone loss in OI (p&lt;0.001) and OO (p&lt;0.01) compared to NC. OI had significantly higher bone loss compared to OO at 14 (p&lt;0.01), 21 (p &lt;0.01) and 28 days (p&lt;0.01). The intragroup evaluation showed no significant influence of time on bone loss in OI and OO, regardless of the technique used (p&gt;0.05). The thickness of the PL remained stable in NC (p&gt;0.05). Conclusion OI and OO were effective in the experimental reproduction of OT, and OI promoted greater alveolar bone loss compared to OO, showing that the impact of occlusal overload in OI increased the extent of the OT injury.

title: Effect of Simvastatin on induced apical periodontitis in rats: a tomographic and biochemical analysis

description: Abstract Introduction Simvastatin is one of several statins that are used to treat hypercholesterolemia, and in dentistry, few studies have attempted to associate the administration of this compound with bone repair. Objective To evaluate the effect of simvastatin on the progression of induced apical periodontitis in rats. Material and method To this end, 36 male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups (N=12): Induced Apical Periodontitis Associated with Simvastatin Group (APSG N=12), Induced Periodontitis Apical Induced Group (APG N=12) and Negative Control Group (CG). On the first day, APG and APSG were anesthetized, and the coronal opening of the mandibular first molar was performed. For thirty days, the APSG received 6 mg of simvastatin daily via gavage. On the thirty-first day, all groups underwent blood collection and euthanasia. The jaws were removed and fixed in formalin. CT scans were performed to measure the periapical regions. In addition, the body mass and lipid profile were analyzed. The data were subjected to statistical analysis (ANOVA and Tukey’s test). Result The APG (3.42±0.65) showed the highest perimeters for the space periapical ligament, followed by APSG (1.54±0.78) and CG (0.64±0.24) (p&lt;0.05). The lipid profile revealed the effect of simvastatin on the amount of glucose, triglycerides, HDL, and VLDL (p&lt;0.05). Body mass APG showed the most weight gain (264.75±44.11), followed by CG (252.00±44.36) and APSG (245.41±42.56). The three groups showed significant differences in decreasing order (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion The use of simvastatin decreased the progression of the increasing periapical ligament space in rats.

title: Effect on dental enamel morphology and physical-chemical analysis of medicines used by pediatric patients with cerebral palsy

description: Abstract Introduction Many liquid pediatric medicines are considered risk factors for tooth structure. This potential may increase when taken chronically as is the case of some conditions such as cerebral palsy. Objective To evaluate the effect on the morphology of dental enamel and the physicochemical properties of continuous use of drugs given to pediatric patients with cerebral palsy. Material and method The sample consisted of three drugs for epilepsy: Phenobarbital (D1), Carbamazepine (D2), Oxcarbazepine (D3); and one drug for gastroesophageal reflux: Domperidone (D4). All in oral suspension. The pH, content of total soluble solids (TSS), and viscosity of the drugs were analyzed. The tests were made two measurements. For SEM analysis, 15 bovine enamel blocks were randomly distributed and immersed in oxcarbazepine (n=5); carbamazepine (n=5); and artificial saliva (n=5). The immersion cycles were made for 6 days, during 5 minutes, 2 times a day with intervals of 12 hours, when they were kept in artificial saliva. The control group remained in artificial saliva. Data were descriptively analyzed. Result Regarding endogenous pH, values ranged from 2.82 (D3) to 9.60 (D1). For TSS, the highest and lowest mean values were, respectively, 20.5% (D3) and 46% (D1). Viscosity ranged from 6.89 mm2/s (D1) to 58 mm2/s (D3). In SEM, observed alterations suggestive of loss of structure in the enamel in oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine from the action of the drugs analyzed. Conclusion It was concluded that the pediatric liquid drugs analyzed, indicated to patients with cerebral palsy, have the potential cariogenic and erosive, especially the Oxcarbazepine.

title: Relining effects on the push-out shear bond strength of glass fiber posts

description: Abstract Introduction The correct use of glass fiber posts in endodontically treated teeth is essential for the clinical success of restorative treatment. Objective This study evaluated the push-out shear bond strength of relined (R) or non-relined (NR) glass fiber posts, cemented with self-adhesive resin cement [RelyXTM U100 (U100)] and conventional resin cement [RelyXTM ARC (ARC)]. Material and method Sixty human single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated and divided into ARC-NR; U100-NR; ARC-R; U100-R groups. The teeth were sectioned into cervical, middle and apical thirds, and subjected to the push-out test. Bond strength was analyzed by the Friedman test; cement and post types were compared by the Mann Whitney test. The pattern of failures was evaluated with digital camera through images at 200x magnification, and was classified as adhesive (at the cement/dentin or cement/post interface), cohesive (cement or post), and mixed failures. Result In ARC-NR, bond strength values were higher in the cervical third; in U100-NR and ARC-R they were similar between the thirds. In U100-R, in the cervical and middle thirds the bond strength values were similar, and there was lower value in the apical third. For non-relined glass fiber posts, the highest mean bond strength values were observed with self-adhesive resin cement. Whereas, relined posts cemented with conventional resin cement had stronger cement layer in comparison with non-relined fiber posts. Conclusion The post relining technique was efficient in ARC-R. ARC-NR and U100-R showed improved bond strength in the cervical region of canal walls. The main failures were adhesive at the cement-post interface.
