The influence of prophylaxis with amino acid glycine powder and sodium bicarbonate jet on the bond strength of dental enamel / A influência da profilaxia com aminoácido glicina em pó e jato de bicarbonato de sódio na resistência de união do esmalte dentário

Aim: To compare the influence of prophylaxis with sodium bicarbonate and amino acid glycine powder on the bond strength of bovine teeth enamel and on the properties of two adhesive systems. Methods:Thirty-six extracted bovine incisors were randomly divided into six groups (n = 6) according to the prophylactic treatment received: no prophylactic treatment (NT), sodium bicarbonate powder (SB), and glycine powder (GL). Each group was subdivided into 2 groups based on what adhesive systems were used: conventional system (A) and universal system (B). Composite resin was applied on the buccal surface of the teeth in a block measurement 8x8x6 mm. The specimens were cut to obtain beams measuring 1.0 x 1.0 mm and were subjected to microtensile bond strength tests. Results were compared using two-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05). Results: The GLA group obtained the highest bond strength value for the conventional adhesive (18.97 MPa), but the GLB group obtained a lower strength value than the SBB group (GLB: 21.05 MPa and SBB: 22.29 MPa) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Cleaning of the enamel surface increases the adhesive properties of restorative materials, and the bond strength was more effective in the group that received glycine prophylaxis and the conventional adhesive system.

Objetivo:Comparar a influência da profilaxia com bicarbonato de sódio e ClinproProphy ™ na resistência de união do esmalte de dentes bovinos e nas propriedades de dois sistemas adesivos.Métodos: Trinta e seis incisivos bovinos extraídos foram divididos aleatoriamente em 6 grupos (n = 6), cada um de acordo com o tratamento profilático recebido: nenhum tratamento profilático (NT), bicarbonato de sódio em pó (SB), glicina em pó (GL). Cada grupo foi subdividido em 2 grupos com base nos sistemas adesivos utilizados: sistema convencional (A) e sistema universal (B). A resina composta foi aplicada na superfície bucal dos dentes em um bloco de 8x8x6 mm. As amostras foram cortadas para obter blocos medindo 1,0 x 1,0 mm e submetidas a testes de resistência de união por microtração. Os resultados foram comparados usando o teste two-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0,05). Resultados: O grupo GLA obteve o maior valor de resistência de união para o adesivo convencional (18,97 MPa), mas o grupo GLB obteve um valor de resistência menor que o grupo SBB (GLB: 21,05 MPa e SBB: 22,29 MPa) (p < 0,05). Conclusão: A limpeza da superfície do esmalte aumenta as propriedades adesivas dos materiais restauradores, e a resistência adesiva foi mais eficaz no grupo que recebeu profilaxia com glicina e sistema adesivo convencional.

Estudo do metaboloma salivar e sua associação com a doença periodontal em pacientes com síndrome de Down / Saliva metabolome in patients with Down syndrome and its association with periodontal disease

Os pacientes com Síndrome de Down (SD) possuem grande incidência de doença periodontal (DP), caracterizada por um curso precoce e com maior severidade. O estudo de metaboloma pode contribuir para o entendimento deste curso da doença, identificando possíveis metabólitos como biomarcadores nestes indivíduos. Para entender o perfil metabolômico dos indivíduos com síndrome de Down e a sua relação com a doença periodontal, realizamos a identificação de metabólitos salivares de adolescentes e adultos jovens, entre 12 e 21 anos, ambos os gêneros. Foram coletados dados sobre o estado geral de saúde e realizados exames clínicos bucais, como índice de higiene oral simplificado, sangramento e profundidade de sondagem. Para a análise do metaboloma foi coletada amostra de saliva não estimulada, analisadas por meio de cromatografia gasosa acoplada á espectrometria de massas. Saliva e fluido crevicular gengival também foram coletados para identificação microbiana através do MALDI-TOF. Os dados encontrados foram submetidos a análise estátisca por meio da Análise dos Componentes Principais (PCA) e quantificação relativa dos metabólitos foi avaliada por testes não paramétricos, Mann-Whitney

e Kruskal-Wallis. Foi possível observar através dos modelos de PCA separação dos indivíduos com SD e controles, independente da doença periodontal. A quantificação relativa revelou maiores níveis de glicina, lprolina, l-leucina, l-serina, ácido palmítico, ácido pentanóico, ácido tetradecanóico, tirosina e l-fenilalanina nos grupos SD quando comparados aos controles. Controles com DP também apresentaram níveis elevados de glicina, l-alanina, l-serina e manopiranose quando comparados com controles saudáveis. A microbiota de indivíduos com SD apresentous diferenças siginificantes em relação aos individuos controles, principalmente para Rothia dentocariosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Tannerella forsythia quando avaliado a saliva e A. Actinomycetemcomitans, Micrococcus luteus, Rothia aeria, Treponema denticola no fluido crevicular gengival. Em conclusão, o perfil metabolômico impresso nos indivíduos com SD difere significativamente dos indivíduos controles, independente da doença periodontal. Entretanto, os metabólitos que diferenciam indivíduos controles com e sem DP, apresentam-se elevados em todos indivíduos com SD, promovendo novos "insights" para o perfil metabólico relacionado a DP na SD.

Down Syndrome (DS) patients have a high incidence of periodontal disease (PD), characterized by an early course and greater severity. The metabolome study may contribute to the understanding of the disease course, identifying possible metabolites as biomarkers in these individuals. To understand the metabolomic profile of the DS and their relationship with PD, we conducted the identification of salivary metabolites of adolescents and young adults between 12 and 21 years, both genders. Data were collected on general health and was performed oral clinical examination, as the IHOS, bleeding index and probing depth. For metabolome analysis was collected unstimulated saliva sample, analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Saliva and gingival crevicular fluid were also collected for microbial identification by MALDI-TOF. Data were submitted to analysis-statistic by PCA and relative quantification

of metabolites was evaluated by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. It can be observed through the PCA models separation of DS groups and controls groups, regardless of periodontal disease. Relative quantification showed higher levels of glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, L-serine, palmitic acid, pentanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, tyrosine and L-phenylalanine in the SD groups when compared to controls groups. Controls with PD also showed high levels of glycine, L-alanine, L-serine and mannopyranose compared with healthy controls. The microbiota of individuals with DS groups show significant differences compared to control groups, especially for Rothia dentocariosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Tannerella forsythia when evaluated saliva and A. actinomycetemcomitans, Micrococcus luteus, Rothia aeria, Treponema denticola in gingival crevicular fluid. In conclusion, the printed metabolomic profile in individuals with Down syndrome differs significantly from control subjects, regardless of periodontal disease. However, the metabolites that distinguish controls group with and without PD, show up high in all DS individuals, promoting new "insights" to the metabolic profile related to PD in DS.

The effect of Vinblastine on the incorporation of (3H)-glycine into proteins of the periodontal ligament of impeded and unimpeded mouse incisors / O efeito do Vinblastine na incorporação de (3H)-glycine nas proteinas do ligamento periodontal de impedidos e não impedidos em incisivos de ratos

The effect of vinblastine on the protein metabolism of the periodontal ligament of impeded and unimpeded mouse incisors was studied by (3H)-glycine labelling and radioautography. The silver-grain concentration was determined in areas adjacent to the tooth, areas adjacent to bone and, as an internal control, in the dentine matrix. From 1 to 12h there was no difference between treated and control animals; thus the drug did not alter protein biosynthesis. Later, the silver-grain concentration was significantly higher in areas adjacent to both bone and tooth in vinblastine-treated animals, suggesting a longer half-life of the labelled proteins. No significant differences between normal or unimpeded erupting incisors of both groups were detected. Dentine matrix showed a possibly higher re-utilization of the labelled amino acid in vinblastine-treated animals. The amount of labelled protein removed by collagenase was similar in both groups, while the concentration of grains due to collagenase-resistant proteins was significantly higher in treated animals, particularly at 96h after the injection of labelled glycine. The relation between the increased amount of non-collagenous proteins in the periodontal ligament and the decrease in the rate of eruption caused by vinblastine was not established. However, among these proteins, fibronectin and proteoglycans are thought to be important factors in tooth eruption

The effects of cerebral hemidecortication on the eruption rate and uptake of [3H]-glycine by the periodontal ligament of the rat incisor / Efeito do hemidecorticação cerebral em relação a erupção e incorporação (3h) glicine no ligamento periodontal do incisivo de rato

Hemidecortication, which consists of removing one cerebral hemisphere, leaving intact the thalamus and hypothalamus, affects the hypothalamus-hypophyseal axis producing hypothyroidism. Hemidecorticate rats showed a significant decrease in the weekly eruption rate of the upper incisors and partial recovery after administration of thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH). The uptake of [3H]-glycine, 1 and 4 h after a single injection, shown by radioautography, was 25 to 50 per cent higher in the periodontal ligament of the experimental animals. Most of the labelled material was noncollagenous proteins because only 20 to 30 per cent was removed by collagenase
