Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of autoclave sterilization on the leaching of nickel ions from stainless steel crowns and space maintainer bands used in pediatric dentistry. Sixty space maintainer bands and 60 stainless steel crowns were divided into sterilized (Amsco Century V-120 Prevac steam sterilizer) and non-sterilized groups. These samples were immersed in artificial saliva, placed in individual petri dishes, and then incubated at 37°C. The samples were analyzed for 42 days using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) machine to quantify the release of nickel ions. Nickel release was higher in the sterilized samples than in the non-sterilized samples for both space maintainer bands and stainless steel crowns. This trend persisted throughout most days of the experiment, with a peak release observed on day 7. Autoclave sterilization had a significant impact on ion release, raising potential concerns regarding the material's biocompatibility. Dentists should be mindful of the increased nickel release observed from sterilized crowns and bands, as this information could influence treatment decisions, especially in children who are predisposed to allergies.

高压灭菌器灭菌对不锈钢牙冠和空间保持带镍离子释放的影响。

本研究旨在探讨高压釜灭菌对儿童牙科用不锈钢牙冠和空间保持带中镍离子浸出的影响。60个空间保持带和60个不锈钢冠分为灭菌组（Amsco Century V-120 Prevac蒸汽灭菌器）和未灭菌组。这些样品浸泡在人工唾液中，放置在单个培养皿中，然后在37°C下孵育。使用气相色谱-质谱联用仪对样品进行42天的分析，以定量镍离子的释放。空间保持带和不锈钢冠的镍释放量在灭菌后均高于未灭菌的样品。这一趋势在实验的大部分时间内持续存在，在第7天观察到峰值释放。高压灭菌器灭菌对离子释放有重大影响，引起了对材料生物相容性的潜在担忧。牙医应该注意从消毒过的牙冠和牙带中观察到的镍释放增加，因为这一信息可能会影响治疗决策，特别是对易过敏的儿童。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Oral Sciences is an international journal which publishes original research papers within clinical dentistry, on all basic science aspects of structure, chemistry, developmental biology, physiology and pathology of relevant tissues, as well as on microbiology, biomaterials and the behavioural sciences as they relate to dentistry. In general, analytical studies are preferred to descriptive ones. Reviews, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor will also be considered for publication. The journal is published bimonthly.
