RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Regeneration of the missing papilla adjacent to single implants in the esthetic zone has always been challenging, despite advances in vertical hard and soft tissue regeneration. Orthodontic tooth extrusion has been shown to effectively gain alveolar bone and gingival tissue. This retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness of orthodontic tooth extrusion on regenerating missing papilla between existing maxillary anterior single implant and its adjacent tooth. METHODS: Patients who underwent orthodontic tooth extrusion to regenerate missing papilla adjacent to a single implant in the esthetic zone were included in this study. The gingival phenotype, orthodontic extrusion movement, proximal bone level, dento-implant papilla level, facial gingival level, mucogingival junction level, and keratinized tissue width, of the extruded tooth were recorded at pre-orthodontic extrusion (T0 ), post-orthodontic extrusion and retention (T1 ), and latest follow-up (T2 ). RESULTS: A total of 17 maxillary single tooth had orthodontic tooth extrusion to regenerate missing papilla adjacent to 14 maxillary anterior single implants in 14 patients. After a mean follow-up time of 48.4 months, implant success rate was 100% (14/14), with none of the orthodontically extruded teeth being extracted. After a mean extrusion and retention period of 14.3 months, a mean orthodontic extrusion movement of 4.62 ± 0.78 mm was noted with a mean proximal bone level gain of 3.54 ± 0.61 mm (77.0% efficacy), dento-implant papilla level gain of 3.98 ± 0.81 mm (86.8% efficacy), and facial gingival tissue gain of 4.27 mm ± 0.55 mm (93.4% efficacy). A mean keratinized tissue width gain of 4.17 ± 0.49 mm with minimal mean mucogingival junction level change of 0.10 ± 0.30 mm were observed. The efficacy of orthodontic eruption movement on dento-implant papilla gain was less in the thin (80.5%) phenotype group when compared with that in the thick (91.5%) phenotype group. CONCLUSIONS: Within the confines of this study, orthodontic extrusion is an effective, noninvasive method in regenerating mid-term stable proximal bone and papilla adjacent to maxillary anterior single implants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This retrospective study presents a mid-term result on orthodontic extrusion as a mean to regenerate dento-implant papilla defect. The extended retention period following orthodontic extrusion showed stable and efficacious proximal bone and papilla gain.

OBJECTIVE: A scarf-shaped connective tissue graft can be placed at the facial and proximal aspect of the peri-implant soft tissue zone during immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) procedures in the esthetic zone to optimize implant esthetics without the need of flap reflection. This retrospective study evaluated soft tissue stability after scarf-connective tissue graft (S-CTG) in conjunction with IIPP procedures in the esthetic zone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who received IIPP with S-CTG with a minimum 1-year follow-up were evaluated. Mid-facial gingival level (MFGL) change and mid-facial gingival thickness (MFGT) change were measured and compared at the pre-op (T0), IIPP + S-CTG surgery (T1), follow up appointment with MFGT measurement (T2), and latest follow-up appointment (T3). Implant success rate and graft necrosis were also recorded. RESULTS: A total of 22 IIPP and S-CTG procedures in 20 patients were evaluated in the study. After a mean follow-up of 8.2 years (3.9-13.4) (T3), all implants remained osseointegrated (22/22 [100%]), with statistically insignificant mean midfacial gingival level change of -0.19 mm (-1.5 to 0.8). Statistically significant difference in midfacial gingival thickness (MFGT) was noted (2.5 mm [1.8-3.5 mm]) after a mean follow-up time (T2) of 2.3 years (1-8.6) when compared with MFGT at baseline (1.1 mm [0.6-1.3 mm]) (T1). Necrosis of S-CTG during initial healing phase was noted in 9% (2/22) of the sites. CONCLUSIONS: Within the confines of this study, scarf-connective tissue graft at time of immediate implant placement and provisionalization can thicken the gingiva and maintain the gingival level at the critical soft tissue zone. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Managing the soft tissue zone is as important as that of the hard tissue zone for peri-implant esthetics. Connective tissue graft is one of the methods that can enhance the final esthetic outcomes. This retrospective study has demonstrated that Scarf-CTG technique is an effective treatment modality to maintain soft tissue stability.

Profiling of lipid-water partition coefficients (KL/W ) of drugs is an essential issue during the early stage of drug development. In this study, two liposomes, including 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) + cholesterol (Chol) (DSPC/Chol liposomes) and soybean lecithin (SPC) + Chol (SPC/Chol liposomes), were prepared for the liposome electrokinetic chromatography (LEKC) analysis, and the logarithm of lipid-water partition coefficients (log KL/W ) of neutral and ionic drugs were determined based on an iterative method. The log KL/W values determined by the SPC/Chol or DSPC/Chol liposomes LEKC were linearly fitted, which showed a good fitting coefficient (R2 = 0.89). Furthermore, the linear relationship between the data obtained from LEKC system and octanol-water system, immobilized artificial membrane, Caco-2 cell model, and software prediction was analyzed, respectively. Results illustrated that DSPC/Chol liposomes or SPC/Chol liposomes had a good linear relationship with Caco-2 cell model, and R2 was 0.81 and 0.72, respectively. Moreover, the linear free energy relationship analysis suggested that the solute volume, hydrogen bond basicity, and J- were the main descriptors that drove the partition process of solutes in the SPC/Chol or DSPC/Chol LEKC system. In addition, the normalized properties of the SPC/Chol and DSPC/Chol LEKC systems through linear free energy relationship analysis were very close. In short, DSPC/Chol liposomes are more suitable for simulating cell membranes than SPC/Chol liposomes, and the developed LEKC is an effective partitioning model for measuring the log KL/W of drugs.

Caries is one of the most prevalent human diseases, resulting from demineralization of tooth hard tissue caused by acids produced from bacteria, and can progress to pulpal inflammation. Filling restoration with dental resin composites (DRCs) is currently the most common treatment for caries. However, existing DRCs suffer from low fracture strength and lack comprehensive anti-caries bioactivity including remineralization, pulp protection, and anti-cariogenic bacteria effects. In this study, inspired by plant roots' ability to stabilize and improve soil, fluorinated urchin-like hydroxyapatite (FUHA) with a three-dimensional whisker structure and bioactive components of calcium, phosphorus, and fluorine was designed and synthesized by a dynamic self-assembly method. Furthermore, versatile FUHA particles with different loading fractions were used as functional fillers to fabricate methacrylate-based DRCs, where the urchin-like hydroxyapatite (UHA) filled DRCs and commercial DRCs (Z350XT and BEAUTIFIL II) served as the control groups. The results demonstrated that FUHA with 50 wt% loading in resin matrix endowed DRC (F5) with excellent physicochemical properties, dentin remineralization property, cell viability, promotion of dental pulp stem cells mineralization, and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, F5 also presented good clinical handling and aesthetic characteristics. Therefore, structure/functional-integrated FUHA filled DRCs have potential as a promising strategy for tooth restoration and anti-caries bioactivity.
RESUMEN
Senile wound healing risks a variety of health complications and makes both economic and psychological burdens on patients greatly. Poor activity of aged dermal fibroblasts (A-FBs) and local disordered immunoreaction in the deep dermis contribute to delayed wound healing. Therefore, the locally complex microenvironment in deep requires additional processing. Herein, a novel double-layer hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microneedle patch (MNP) coated by young fibroblast-derived exosomes (Y-EXOs) (Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP) is presented for deep drug delivery, aged wound healing and immunoregulation. A spraying and freeze-drying method is applied for keeping the bioactivity of the nanovesicles. An ideal loading of Y-EXOs and enhanced strength for penetration have realized after circulation for times. The Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP shows an excellent influence on delayed wound healing of aged skin with active A-FBs, more deposition of collagen and less production of IL-17A compared with application of aged fibroblast-derived exosomes (A-EXOs). Moreover, the content microRNAs in Y-EXOs and A-EXOs are sequenced for further study. This study initiatively demonstrates that Y-EXOs have effective function on both anti-aging and anti-inflammation and Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP is expected as a novel strategy for deep drug delivery for promoting hard wound healing in aged skin in future clinical application.

PURPOSE: To establish consensus-driven guidelines that could support the clinical decision-making process for implant-supported rehabilitation of the posterior atrophic maxilla and ultimately improve long-term treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 33 participants were enrolled (18 active members of the Italian Academy of Osseointegration and 15 international experts). Based on the available evidence, the development group discussed and proposed an initial list of 20 statements, which were later evalu-ated by all participants. After the forms were completed, the responses were sent for blinded ana-lysis. In most cases, when a consensus was not reached, the statements were rephrased and sent to the participants for another round of evaluation. Three rounds were planned. RESULTS: After the first round of voting, participants came close to reaching a consensus on six statements, but no consensus was achieved for the other fourteen. Following this, nineteen statements were rephrased and sent to participants again for the second round of voting, after which a consensus was reached for six statements and almost reached for three statements, but no consensus was achieved for the other ten. All 13 statements upon which no consensus was reached were rephrased and included in the third round. After this round, a consensus was achieved for an additional nine statements and almost achieved for three statements, but no consensus was reached for the remaining statement. CONCLUSION: This Delphi consensus highlights the importance of accurate preoperative planning, taking into consideration the maxillomandibular relationship to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of the final restoration. Emphasis is placed on the role played by the sinus bony walls and floor in providing essential elements for bone formation, and on evaluation of bucco-palatal sinus width for choosing between lateral and transcrestal sinus floor elevation. Tilted and trans-sinus implants are considered viable options, whereas caution is advised when placing pterygoid implants. Zygomatic implants are seen as a potential option in specific cases, such as for completely edentulous elderly or oncological patients, for whom conventional alternatives are unsuitable.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) study was to determine the frequency percentage of screw-retained crown using angulated screw channel (ASC) abutment for single immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) in the esthetic zone. METHODS: The CBCT images of 200 patients without disease and without metal restorations in maxillary anterior teeth were evaluated. The mid-sagittal-sectional CBCT images of maxillary anterior teeth (#6-#11) were created in an implant planning software, screen-captured, and transferred to a presentation program. Template of tapered implants with diameter of 3.5 mm (for central and lateral incisors) and 4.3 mm (for central incisors and canines) and lengths of 13, 15, and 18 mm were applied to the sagittal images to identify the IIPP cases. To qualify for IIPP, the implant must engage >35% bone with at least 1 mm of surrounding bone and no perforations. The IIPP cases were further divided into straight screw channel (IIPPSSC) abutment or 25-degree angulated screw channel abutment (IIPPASC), based upon its restorability. The frequency percentages of possible IIPP, IIPPSSC, and IIPPASC were reported and compared among all maxillary anterior teeth. RESULTS: A total of 1200 maxillary anterior teeth sagittal images from 200 patients (88 male and 112 female) with a mean age of 51.3 years (range 20-83 years) were evaluated in this study. The overall frequency percentages of IIPP, IIPPSSC, and IIPPASC possibility were 84% (74%-92%), 14% (10%-24%), and 75% (66%-87%), respectively. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this CBCT study, 90% of single IIPP in the esthetic zone can be restored with screw-retained crown when utilizing ASC. In addition, the possibility of using a screw-retained restoration following IIPP increases about five times with ASC abutment compared to the SSC abutment.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PKP) is widely used to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). In addition to rapid and effective pain relief, the ability to recover the lost height of fractured vertebral bodies and reduce the risk for complications are believed to be the main advantages of this procedure. However, there is no consensus on the appropriate surgical timing for PKP. OBJECTIVES: This study systematically evaluated the relationship between the surgical timing of PKP and clinical outcomes to provide more evidence for clinicians to choose the intervention timing. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials and prospective, and retrospective cohort trials published up to November 13, 2022. All included studies explored the influence of PKP intervention timing for OVCFs. Data regarding clinical and radiographic outcomes and complications were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS: Thirteen studies involving 930 patients with symptomatic OVCFs were included. Most patients with symptomatic OVCFs achieved rapid and effective pain relief after PKP. In comparison to delayed PKP intervention, early PKP intervention was associated with similar or better outcomes in terms of pain relief, improvement of function, restoration of vertebral height, and correction of kyphosis deformity. The meta-analysis results showed there was no significant difference in cement leakage rate between early PKP and late PKP (odds ratio [OR] = 1.60, 95% CI, 0.97-2.64, P = 0.07), whereas delayed PKP had a higher risk for adjacent vertebral fractures (AVFs) than early PKP (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.76, P = 0.01). LIMITATIONS: The number of included studies was small, and the overall quality of the evidence was very low. CONCLUSIONS: PKP is an effective treatment for symptomatic OVCFs. Early PKP may achieve similar or better clinical and radiographic outcomes for treating OVCFs than delayed PKP. Furthermore, early PKP intervention had a lower incidence of AVFs and a similar rate of cement leakage compared with delayed PKP. Based on current evidence, early PKP intervention might be more beneficial to patients.

An intact extraction socket has been considered a prerequisite for an immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) procedure. Recent studies, however, have shown successful outcomes when IIPP was performed in sockets with a facial bone wall defect. This retrospective study evaluated the facial implant mucosal stability following IIPP in extraction sockets with a facial bone wall defect in the esthetic zone. The study included 16 cases in 16 patients who received maxillary anterior single IIPP with contour bone graft (C-BG) and contour connective tissue graft (C-CTG) in compromised extraction sockets (V- or U-shaped defect). After a mean follow-up of 6 years, the implant success rate was 100% (16/16). Minimal and non-statistically significant changes were noted in the facial implant mucosal and marginal bone level. Statistically significant changes were observed in facial implant mucosal thickness gain (2.5 mm [1.8 mm to 3.5 mm]) and midfacial bone sounding reduction (6 mm). Within the confines of this study, IIPP with simultaneous C-BG and C-CTG in fresh extraction sockets exhibiting a V- or U-shaped facial bone wall defect can lead to long-term successful outcomes in terms of mucosal stability, contour bone gain, and marginal bone level stability.

Maxillary sinus elevation by the lateral window approach has been shown to be a highly predictable surgical procedure for increasing bone volume in the posterior maxilla. There are occasions, however, where this procedure may be difficult or impossible to perform in a highly predictable manner. There are many presurgical conditions and anatomical features that can make lateral window access difficult, leading to an increase in intraoperative complications and procedural failures. These complicating factors include complex internal sinus anatomy (multiple septa, anteroposterior septa), a narrow available window space, a thin or absent labial plate on adjacent teeth, and the presence of a root apex in the proposed window area, or it may be due to iatrogenically created defects, such as a previous failed sinus elevation, a healed oroantral fistula, or defects created by difficult extractions. While not frequently used or routinely reported in the literature, the palatal window approach may negate many of these obstacles. When it is reported, success rates are similar to those of lateral window procedures, and as an added advantage, postoperative morbidity is dramatically reduced, allowing the patient to wear a removable appliance immediately after surgery. There are, however, anatomical limitations that dictate when this procedure can be used. This case report is unique in that many of the lateral window complicating factors are present, and the palatal anatomy proved ideal for performing the technique.

Two liposomes, including 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) + 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PE) + cholesterol (Chol) (DSPC/PE/Chol liposomes) and soybean lecithin (SPC) + PE + Chol (SPC/PE/Chol liposomes), were prepared and fixed on the inner wall of capillary column by using the adhesion of polydopamine (PDA) membrane and the cross-linking property of glutaraldehyde (GA). The immobilized liposome capillary column (ILCC) has good repeatability and stability based on the electrophoretic mobility of analyte. A CE method based on the immobilized liposome capillary column chromatography (ILCCC) was successfully developed to study the retention behavior of drugs on ILCC, and the logarithm of retention factor (log k) of neutral and ionic drugs were determined. The results show that the log k measured by the ILCCC based on two liposomes have a good linear fitting (R2 = 0.86). Moreover, the linear relationship between ILCCC system and other related research systems (octanol-water system and immobilized artificial membrane (IAM)) was analyzed, and the results indicate that SPC/PE/Chol ILCCC, DSPC/PE/Chol ILCCC and IAM systems have good fitting results, R2 values are 0.86 and 0.78, respectively. In addition, the normalization coefficients of ILCCC and IAM systems obtained by the linear free energy relationship (LFER) analysis are close and the d value is small. In short, the ILCCC is a simple and feasible method for studying drug membrane permeability.

BACKGROUND: To study the epidemic features of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in mainland China through systematic review and meta-analysis so as to provide evidence for the future prevention and control of HFMD. METHODS: Articles on the epidemic features of HFMD in mainland China, written in English or Chinese and released between January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2020, were searched from English literature databases including Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane library, Google academic, and Chinese literature databases including China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and China Biology Medicine (CBM). Papers were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality scoring was performed. Meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, and identification of publication bias were finished through STATA version 12.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 23 articles were included in this study, the total number of cases was 377,083, of which the total number of male cases was 231,798 and the total number of female cases was 145,285, the sex ratio was about 1.6:1, and the incidence of HFMD in China was 1.61 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-1.94). The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of HFMD in mainland China was the highest in South China, in 2014, in 1-year-old group and in other types of enteroviruses, respectively, with the rate of 3.48 (95% CI: 1.22-5.73), 1.81 (95% CI: 1.06-2.57), 15.20 (95% CI: 5.00-25.30), and 1.83 (95% CI: 1.32-2.33), respectively. The differences among the above 4 subgroups were statistically significant (Pâ<â.05). There were no publication bias in this study, and the sensitivity analysis results suggested that the meta-analysis results were robust. CONCLUSION: There were differences in the distribution of region, time, population, and etiology of HFMD in mainland China. Health departments should adopt key strategies and measures for key populations in key areas to prevent and control the development of HFMD, and improve the ability of pathogen detection and typing in laboratories.

Peri-implantitis is a typical pathological condition characterized by the destructive inflammation in the soft tissue and the progressive loss of supporting bones. As the current effective treatments and preventive measures are inconsistent and unpredictable, the use of biomaterials as carriers of bioactive ion coatings is a promising approach. However, the translation from lab to large-scale production and clinical applications is difficult due to a technology barrier. Determining the effective dosage of each ion to achieve an in vivo application of the in vitro screening is challenging. Here, we selected zinc and strontium ions to provide multiple effects on antibacterial activity and osteogenesis. The optimal coating with effective release concentrations of the two ions was obtained after the two-step screening from in vitro testing. The results showed that this type of in vivo bioactive ion usage leads to an enhanced osseointegration during the immediate implantation in a periodontitis-affected environment and prevents soft tissue inflammation and bone resorption in an inflammatory environment. The new biologically active ion screening method could verify the effectiveness of this clinical translation and its potential for large-scale production and could determine the effective dosage of each ion for a specific application.

Irreversible marginal bone loss can hinder recovery around dental implants. Insufficient alveolar osteogenesis and stress concentration during chewing contribute to marginal bone resorption and can result in implant failure. A biomaterial with a micropore-channel structure was developed using 3D printing technology. This design facilitated bony ingrowth and provided similar mechanical stimulation at the implant neck during mastication to a natural tooth. The micropore channels provided a guiding structure for bone mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation without the need for growth factors. Specifically, this was achieved through mechanical transduction by F-actin remodeling and the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP). The implants were verified in a canine dental implant surgery model, which demonstrated the promising use of biomaterial-based dental implants in future clinical applications.
RESUMEN
Introducing specific textures to titanium alloy implant surface is helpful to modify the surface properties of materials. In this article, biomedical TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy was textured by a 10-ps infrared laser. Laser parameters that directly affected the detailed dimension of textures and its characteristics were optimized within laser power, defocusing amount, and scanning parameters via response surface methodology. These textures consisted of groove array about 30-90 µm in depth and 100 µm in width were prepared and their surface property (including surface morphology, element composition, wetting behavior, and biocompatibility) was analyzed. Surface characteristic analysis indicated that picosecond laser texturing improved surface properties and biocompatibility mainly by altering the microstructure and morphology of materials. In addition, laser textured groove array promoted contact area and hydrophobicity of material surface. Cell culture experiments and animal studies showed that titanium alloy implants with 30- and 60-µm-deep groove arrays on the surface-enhanced cell proliferation and adhesion. Meanwhile, compared to the polished samples, these groove arrays promoted the growth of new blood vessels and enhanced the combination of blood vessel and implants in vivo. That is, the deeper groove array was, and the better vascularizing effect the blood vessel exhibited.

Pulp treatment techniques such as pulp capping, pulpotomy and pulp regeneration are all based on the principle of preserving vital pulp. However, specific dental restorative materials that can simultaneously protect pulp vitality and repair occlusal morphology have not been developed thus far. Traditional pulp capping materials cannot be used as dental restorative materials due to their long-term solubility and poor mechanical behavior. Titanium (Ti) is used extensively in dentistry and is regarded as a promising material for pulp sealing because of its favorable biocompatibility, processability and mechanical properties. Originally, we proposed the concept of "odontointegration", which represents direct dentin-like mineralization contact between pulp and the surface of the pulp sealing material; herein, we report the fabrication of a novel antibacterial and dentino-inductive material via micro-arc oxidation (MAO), incorporating self-assembled graphene oxide (GO) for Ti surface modification. The hierarchical micro/nanoporous structure of the MAO coating provides a suitable microenvironment for odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells, and GO loading contributes to antibacterial activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were employed for structure and elemental analysis. In vitro studies, including cell adhesion, Live/Dead and CCK-8 assays, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, mineralization, and odontogenic differentiation ability. Antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans were analyzed by SEM, spread plate, Live/Dead and Alamar blue tests. The Ti-MAO-1.0 mg mL-1 GO group exhibited excellent cell adhesion, odontoblast differentiation, mineralization, and antibacterial ability, which are beneficial to odontointegration.

Bone tissue is a highly vascularized tissue and concomitant development of the vascular system and mineralized matrix requires a synergistic interaction between osteogenesis and angioblasts. Several strategies have been applied to achieve vascularized tissue-engineered bone, including the addition of cytokines as well as pre-vascularization strategies and co-culture systems. However, the scaffold is another extremely important component to consider, and development of vascularized bone scaffolds remains one of the greatest challenges for engineering clinically relevant bone substitutes. Here, this review highlights the biomaterial selection, preparation of pre-vascularized scaffolds, composition modification of the scaffold, structural design, and the comprehensive use of the above synergistic modifications of scaffold materials for vascular scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. Moreover, a strategy is proposed for the design of future scaffold structures, in which promoting the regeneration of vascularized bone by regulating the microenvironment should be the main focus. This overview can help illuminate progress in this field and identify the most recently developed scaffolds that show the greatest potential for achieving clinically vascularized bone.

OBJECTIVE: To select three kinds of perforation repair materials, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Z350, amalgam. And to evaluate the cytotoxicity of three kinds of perforation repair materials on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLF) in vitro. METHODS: The proliferation of HPDLF to three perforation repair materials were examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay at 1, 3 and 5 days. The mRNA expression levels of bone-associated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC) were determined using a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: MTA shew almost no inhibition to HPDLF, the expression of ALP mRNA and OC mRNA in the HPDLF cultured on MTA were higher. Z350 induced a slight inhibition to HPDLF, and the expression of ALP mRNA but there was no difference in the expression of OC mRNA. Cell proliferation was significantly impaired by amalgam with grade 3, and the expression of ALP mRNA and OC mRNA were significantly reduced. CONCLUSION: MTA have minimum cytotoxicity on HPDLF and can promote cell differentiation and regenerate of periodontal tissue. Z350 have lower cytotoxicity on HPDLF. Amalgam show highest cytotoxicity on HPDLF in the three materials and inhibit cells differentiation.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to study the sealing ability and the furcal appearance of repairing subpulpal wall perforation with resinous inlay. METHODS: Fifty newly extracted human molars were randomly divided into three experiment groups (group A, group B, group C, 15 teeth each) and one control group (5 teeth). In experiment groups, perforations were made perpendicularly to the center of the pulp chamber floor. Perforations of group A and B were repaired with resinous inlay and sealed by AH Plus sealer and luting glass-ionomer, respectively. Perforations of group C were directly repaired using light-cure composite resin. Perforations were not made in five teeth of control group. The furcal appearances were evaluated under stereomicroscope after repairing. Microleakage was measured by glucose oxidase detection. RESULTS: The fineness rate of furcal appearances with resinous inlay repairing were 83.3%, while the fineness rate of furcal appearances with light-cure composite resin directly repairing were 46.7%. There were statistics difference between resinous inlay repairing and light-cure composite resin directly repairing (P<0.05). There were statistics difference among the daily microleakage of three experiment groups, group AAsunto(s)
