Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic epithelium with a tendency to local recurrence if not removed appropriately. Reconstruction alternatives include the use of microvascularized free flaps, plates and customized titanium prostheses. Objective: Describe a case of mandibular replacement with a customized titanium prosthesis after ameloblastoma excision. Case presentation: A case is presented of a female 44-year-old patient who presented a radiographic finding during pulporadicular treatment of tooth 37. Facial physical examination found an increase in volume in the left genian region, and intraoral observation detected expansion of the corticals in the lower posterior arch of the same side. Panoramic radiography and computed axial tomography showed a multilocular radiolucid image resembling soap bubbles which extended from the mandibular body to the left condyle. A sample was taken for biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of follicular pattern ameloblastoma. Segmental mandibular surgery was performed by cervical approach with a safety margin and exarticulation. The portion removed was replaced with a customized titanium prosthesis. Post-operative control showed a good evolution. Conclusions: Surgery was the basic component of the treatment applied. Surgical resection was followed by reconstruction of the defect with a customized titanium prosthesis, a procedure of great novelty in our environment useful to restore function and esthetic appearance(AU)

Abstract Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been considered a suitable material for cranioplasty. However, no consensus has been reached concerning the best material for cranioplasty with regard to minimizing complications. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the complication rates of PMMA with those of autologous bone and titanium mesh. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42016042725). Systematic searches were conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science. The focus question was, "Do PMMA prostheses used in cranioplasty have complications rates similar to those of autologous bone and titanium mesh?" A meta-analysis of complication rates was performed on the basis of dichotomous outcomes assessed by risk ratio (RR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). From 1014 data sources, 11 articles were selected according to eligibility criteria. These articles involved 1,256 individuals and 1,278 cranioplasties using autologous bone (n = 408), PMMA (n = 379), or titanium (n = 151). The follow-up period ranged from 63 days to 54.3 months. No difference was observed between the complication rates of PMMA and autologous bone (p = 0.94; RR, 0.98; 95%CI, 0.54-1.75) or between PMMA and titanium (p = 0.38; RR, 1.59; 95%CI, 0.57-4.48). Sub-analysis of the reasons for craniotomy (trauma/non-trauma) was conducted, which revealed no significant difference (p = 0.91; RR, 0.95; 95%CI, 0.37-2.42). The meta-analysis indicated that the use of PMMA yields complication rates that are near those of autologous bone and titanium mesh.

Nas últimas décadas houve um aumento considerável na utilização dos implantes metálicos para aplicações na área da ortopedia e odontologia, por isso as pesquisas têm como foco estudar os mecanismos biológicos de interação osso-implante. A nanotopografia de superfície de implantes osseointegráveis apresenta efeito direto sobre a resposta biológica óssea. No entanto a maneira como afeta a osseointegração in vivo ainda não está totalmente elucidada. O objetivo neste estudo foi comparar in vivo a influência da superfície em nanoescala (nano) confeccionada em implantes de titânio comercialmente puro (Ticp), comparado-a a superfície lisa (controle) em modelo experimental de camundongos osterix-mcherry (Osx-mcherry), os quais expressam proteína fluorescente concomitante com a expressão do gene osterix (Osx). Os animais receberam implantes de superfície lisa no fêmur direito e com nanoescala no fêmur esquerdo. Após diferentes períodos de eutanásia baseados na metodologia empregada foram realizados nas peças e nas células os seguintes testes biológicos: microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) para avaliação da adesão celular e da superfície do implante; histologia e nanotomografia (nanoCT) para observação e quantificação de osso neoformado na interface osso/implante; citometria de fluxo para quantificação de células marcadas pelo gene osterix; PCR em tempo real (qPCR) para avaliação da expressão gênica; coloração fosfatase ácida resistente ao tartarato (TRAP) para contagem de osteoclastos. Nossos resultados mostraram que a maioria dos genes estudados estavam superexpressos nas amostras com superfície em nanoescala sendo que alguns deles apresentaram diferenças estatísticas (Teste t, p < 0.05), tais como: Osx (osterix), Alp (fosfatase alcalina), Prx1(homeobox relacionado emparelhado -1), Dmp1 (Dolicol-fosfatase mannosiltransferase subunidade 1), Bsp (sialoproteína óssea) e Ocn (osteocalcina). Os testes estatísticos ANOVA two way seguido do Teste de Tukey quando necessário, foram utilizados para os demais experimentos e o nível de significância foi estabelecido em p < 0.05. Diferenças estatísticas foram encontradas para o nanoCT e histologia entre as superfícies e períodos avaliados e os melhores resultados foram observados para a nanoescala. A coloração TRAP também mostrou diferenças estatísticas entre as superfícies e períodos estudados, com a superfície lisa mostrando melhores resultados aos 3 dias e a nano aos 5 e 7 dias. Não houve diferença estatística para a citometria de fluxo, porém a superfície em nanoescala mostrou melhores resultados que a lisa em todos os períodos analisados. Concluímos que a superfície em nanoescala possui propriedades osteocondutivas e favorece os eventos biológicos que ocorrem na superfície do implante melhorando o processo de osseointegração(AU)
In the last decades there has been a considerable increase in the use of metal implants for applications in the area of orthopedics and dentistry, so the researches are focused on studying the biological mechanisms of bone-implant interaction. Surface nanotopography of osseointegrated implants has a direct effect on the biological response of bone. However the way it affects osseointegration in vivo is not yet fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to compare the in vivo influence of the nanoscale surface (nano) made on implants of commercially pure titanium (Ticp) with the smooth surface (control), using an experimental model of osterix-mcherry mice (Osx-mcherry), which express fluorescent protein concomitant with osterix gene expression (Osx). The animals received implants with smooth surface in the right femur and nanoscale in the left femur. After different periods of euthanasia based on the methodology used, biological tests were performed in the femur and cells: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for evaluation of cell adhesion and implant surface; histology and nanotomography (NanoCT) for observation and quantification of neoformed bone at implant interface; flow cytometry for quantification of cells marked by the osterix gene; Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) for gene expression evaluation; tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining (TRAP) for osteoclast counts. Our results showed that most genes studied were overexpressed in the nanoscale surface and some of which presented statistical differences(t Test, p <0.05), such as: Osx (osterix), Alp (alkaline phosphatase), Prx1 (related paired homeobox), Dmp1 (Dolicol-phosphatase mannosyltransferase subunit 1), Bsp (bone sialoprotein) and Ocn (osteocalcin). The two-way ANOVA statistical test followed by the Tukey test when necessary were used for the other experiments and the level of significance was set at p <0.05. Statistical differences were found for the nanoCT and histology between surface and periods evaluated and the best results were observed for the nanoscale. The TRAP staining also showed statistical differences between the surfaces and periods studied, with the smooth surface showing better results at 3 days and nano at 5 and 7 days. There was no statistical difference for flow cytometry, but the nanoscale surface showed better results than the smooth surface in all analyzed periods. We conclude that the nanoscale surface has osteoconductive properties and improves the biological events that occur on implants surface improving the osseointegration process(AU)

Wear particles are phagocytosed by macrophages and other inflammatory cells, resulting in cellular activation and release of proinflammatory factors, which cause periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening, the most common causes of total joint arthroplasty failure. During this pathological process, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in wear-particle-induced osteolysis. In this study, recombination adenovirus (Ad) vectors carrying both target genes [TNF-α small interfering RNA (TNF-α-siRNA) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)] were synthesized and transfected into RAW264.7 macrophages and pro-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, respectively. The target gene BMP-2, expressed on pro-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and silenced by the TNF-α gene on cells, was treated with titanium (Ti) particles that were assessed by real-time PCR and Western blot. We showed that recombinant adenovirus (Ad-siTNFα-BMP-2) can induce osteoblast differentiation when treated with conditioned medium (CM) containing RAW264.7 macrophages challenged with a combination of Ti particles and Ad-siTNFα-BMP-2 (Ti-ad CM) assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand was downregulated in pro-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells treated with Ti-ad CM in comparison with conditioned medium of RAW264.7 macrophages challenged with Ti particles (Ti CM). We suggest that Ad-siTNFα-BMP-2 induced osteoblast differentiation and inhibited osteoclastogenesis on a cell model of a Ti particle-induced inflammatory response, which may provide a novel approach for the treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis.

Intrinsic tooth discolorations after endodontic treatment are principally attributed to the composition of necrotic pulp tissue, hemorrhage within the pulp cavity, endodontic medicaments and/or filling materials. Residual sealer left in pulp chamber after obturation can cause discoloration. The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate coronal discoloration created by AH26 and ZOE sealers after four months. Fifty intact human extracted maxillary central incisors were employed. Access cavities were prepared in all samples and root canals were instrumented; coronal orifices were then sealed using self-cure glass ionomer. The teeth were divided into two experimental groups [n=20] according to utilized sealer in pulp chambers including AH26 and Dorifill [ZOE]. The remaining 10 teeth served as negative and positive controls [n=5]. The access cavities were sealed with self-cure glass ionomer. Teeth were kept in incubator for four month. Preliminary digital images of the teeth were taken and then compared with those related to 4-month follow-up. The images were assessed using Photoshop software. Data was analyzed using paired t-test and independent samples t-test. The teeth which were filled with AH26 sealer showed significantly greater discoloration than those filled with ZOE sealer [Dorifill] [P<0.05]. AH26 sealer causes greater discoloration of the crown compared to ZOE sealer. Despite the other disadvantage of AH26 sealer, it seems that Dorifill is more esthetically considerate

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and inflammatory cytokines released from activated macrophages in response to particulate debris greatly impact periprosthetic bone loss and consequent implant failure. In the present study, we found that a major polyphenolic component of green tea, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), inhibited Ti particle-induced TNF-alpha release in macrophages in vitro and calvarial osteolysis in vivo. The Ti stimulation of macrophages released TNF-alpha in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and EGCG substantially suppressed Ti particle-induced TNF-alpha release. Analysis of signaling pathway showed that EGCG inhibited the Ti-induced c-Jun N-terminus kinase (JNK) activation and inhibitory kappaB (IkappaB) degradation, and consequently the Ti-induced transcriptional activation of AP-1 and NF-kappaB. In a mouse calvarial osteolysis model, EGCG inhibited Ti particle-induced osteolysis in vivo by suppressing TNF-alpha expression and osteoclast formation. Therefore, EGCG may be a potential candidate compound for osteolysis prevention and treatment as well as aseptic loosening after total replacement arthroplasty.

Oxidation of low density lipoprotein [LDL] has been strongly implicated in the phathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The use of oxidants in dietary food stuff may lead to the production of oxidized LDL and may increase both the development and the progression of atherosclerosis. The present work investigated the effects of some elements including: copper [Cu], iron [Fe], vanadium [V] and titanium [Ti] on in vitro LDL oxidation quantitatively. The first LDL fraction was isolated from fresh plasma by single vertical discontinuous density gradient ultracentrifugation. The formation of conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and increase in electrophoretic mobility of LDL were monitored as markers of the oxidation of LDL. It was demonstrated that Cu, Fe, V and Ti exhibited strong oxidant activity in this respect [P<0.001]. Oxidation of LDL in the presence of Cu was more and appeared to be in this order Cu>Fe> V>Ti. Discussion: Cu, Fe, V and Ti are redox-active transition metals that may cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA molecules. We suggest that these elements may also influence the oxidation of LDL in vivo, which could increase both the development and progression of atherosclerosis

The present study was carried out to observe the cytotoxicity of yellow sand in comparison with silica and titanium dioxide in a rat alveolar type II cell line (RLE-6TN). Yellow sand (China Loess) was obtained from the loess layer in the Gunsu Province of China. The mean particle diameter of yellow sand was about 0.003 +/- 0.001 mm. Major elements of yellow sand were Si(27.7 +/- 0.6%), Al(6.01 +/- 0.17%), and Ca(5.83 +/- 0.23%) in that order. Silica and yellow sand significantly decreased cell viability and increased [Ca2+]i. All three particles increased the generation of H2O2. TiO2 did not change Fenton activity, while silica induced a slight increase of Fenton activity. In contrast, yellow sand induced a significant increase of Fenton activity. Silica, yellow sand and TiO2 induced significant nitrite formations in RLE-6TN cells. Silica showed the highest increase in nitrite formation, while yellow sand induced the least formation of nitrite. Silica and yellow sand increased the release of TNF-a. Based on these results, we suggest that yellow sand can induce cytotoxicity in RLE-6TN cells and reactive oxygen species, Fenton activity and reactive nitrogen species might be involved in this toxicity.

Neste estudo procuramos analisar a interação entre células endoteliais humanas e biomateriais utilizados em cirurgia oral, através de análises histológicas e ensaios imunocitoquímicos. Culturas primárias foram isoladas de veias de cordões umbilicais humanos. As células foram semeadas, em densidade determinada, sobre secções circulares de membrana colágena, placas de titânio e controles; foram mantidas por 1, 7 ou 14 dias. As células proliferaram, atingiram confluência e após 14 dias formaram camada plana e uniforme. Os resultados demonstraram que os materiais estudados permitem a proliferação e a adesão das células endoteliais. Esta adesão é mediada pela interação de integrinas e proteínas.With the present investigation, we examined the behavior of endothelial cells on two different biomaterials, using histological and immunocitochemical methods. The endothelial cells were isolated from umbilical cord veins. Cells, after two passages, were seeded in a standard density on a collagen membrane, on commercially pure titanium in the form of plates and on control surfaces. Then these were maintained for 1, 7 or 14 days. After 14 days, we could observe a confluent monolayer of cells. Our results showed that both studied materials support endothelial cells growth and attachment and this is most related to the binding through integrins and proteins...

Les cas rapportes dans la litterature ont montre une relation etroite entre les implants en titane et l'apparition de l'allergie. Pour pallier a ce probleme les medecins dentistes; doivent etablir un interrogatoire minutieux et un examen clinique complet pour determiner les patients a risques. Ces derniers devraient subir des tests cutanes ou biologiques afin de prevenir cette allergie. Par ailleurs; en presence de diagnostic positif a l'allergie au titane; les implants devraient etre retires et remplaces par d'autres implants en un materiau alternatif

Le titane est actuellement le materiau de choix en implantologie orale. Connu pour son excellente biocompatibilite; un grand nombre de professionnels de sante pensent qu'il ne serait pas responsable de reaction d'hypersensibilite.Neanmoins; il apparait dans de recentes etudes que le titane peut donner lieu a une toxicite et a des reactions allergiques immediates ou retardees ce qui pourrait expliquer les echecs successifs d'implants dentaires qui surviennent chez certains patients

Recentemente, tem tornado aparente que o sucesso do implante endosteal é largamente, se näo totalmente, determinado pela biocompatibilidade do material usado. Esta biocompatibilidade parece estar determinada näo somente pela natureza química do material, mas também pela propriedade micromorfológica da superfície do implante. Os resultados apresentam uma avaliaçäo histológica da cicatrizaçäo inicial da implantaçäo de discos de titânio c.p. com superfície porosa fixados endostealmente. Para testar esta avaliaçäo foram utilizados 12 coelhos machos com peso médio de 3,2 Kg., sendo que cada animal recebeu 2 discos de titânio c.p.. Em todos os animais, os discos de titânio foram utilizados para avaliaçäo histológica de crescimento ósseo...
