It has been found to be the major etiologic agent that contributes to periodontitis and produces many factors that cause destruction to periodontal tissues in both ways directly and indirectly by modulating the host inflammatory response. Silver nanoparticles are considered as an effective antimicrobial agent and their ability to load various medication combinations onto silver nanoparticles provides them a highly antibacterial mechanism of action, to which bacteria have developed resistance. Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles loaded with tetracycline in treatment of induced infection by Porphyromonas gingivalis of the rat’s buccal mucosa through histological examination and immunohistochemical localization of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA). Material and Methods: Eighteen male albino rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal (negative), infected (positive) with induced P. gingivalis and treated group with nanosilver loaded with tetracycline for fourteen days. Samples were examined under the light microscope for histological and immunohistochemical evaluation through PCNA labeling index where the number of PCNA positive cells were divided by the total cell number in the basal cell layer was estimated and treated statistically. Results: Histological findings were represented by increase in the surface epithelium, numbers of clear cells throughout different layers of epithelium and great collagen dissociation at multiple areas in lamina propria of group II animals while group III treated with nanosilver loaded with tetracycline showed epithelium regained their normal histological structure with scattered inflammatory cells with almost normal structure of lamina propria. There was significant decrease in PCNA labeling index of the surface epithelium of the buccal mucosa of group II animals compared with normal group I as well as significant increase in PCNA labeling index of group III. Conclusion: Synergetic conjugation of nano-silver with antibiotic drug as tetracycline showed improvement in the histological picture and cellular proliferation rate of epithelial cells of rat’s buccal mucosa.","PeriodicalId":11270,"journal":{"name":"Dental Science Updates","volume":"2014 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86578968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the surface and thickness of metallic-coated wires can be modified to affect corrosive properties, mechanical durability and especially friction forces. Aim: To evaluate the frictional properties between Teflon coated and non-coated stainless-steel orthodontic arch-wires (0.017 x 0.025-inches and 0.019 x 0.025-inches) with ceramic brackets of 0.018 and 0.022-inch slots. Material and methods: Sixteen orthodontic maxillary premolar mono-crystalline ceramic brackets, eight brackets with 0.018-inch and eight brackets with 0.022-inch slot size. Roth prescription were used. Twenty stainless-steel 0.017 x 0.025-inch arch-wires were used (ten Teflon coated and ten noncoated). Twenty stainless-steel 0.019 x 0.025-inch arch-wires were used (ten Teflon coated and ten non-coated). All arch-wires were cut to symmetrical equal halves using a wire cutter at the midline and each half was used separately. The total number of wire segments used in the study was eighty orthodontic maxillary stainless-steel archwires. Each ceramic bracket tested five wire segments using new elastomeric modules each time. Each bracket was translated the same distance (5mm) relative to its wire segment by the LR5K Lloyd universal testing machine at the same speed of (5mm per minute). Results: The non-coated 17x25 –inch thickness stainless steel arch-wires showed higher friction than coated ones and the non-coated 0.019 x 0.025-inch. The coated 0.019x 0.025-inches stainless steel wire segments showed significant highest friction of 1687.25±97.5 than non-coated 0.019x 0.025-inches and coated/non-coated 0.017x 0.025-inches wire segments. Conclusion: The coated stainless-steel arch-wires had higher friction than the non-coated stainless-steel arch-wires on mono-crystalline ceramic brackets. INTRODUCTION The Teflon coating on orthodontic arch-wires and brackets increasing the antimicrobial and the mechanical properties, as friction, surface topography, or corrosion resistance. The type and nature of coating materials such as nitride ions, metals, oxides, teflon or resins exhibited stronger impact on determining the potential for corrosion of Nickel-titanium wires compared to values of surface roughness. The result of the study was that coating on the orthodontic wires and brackets used to reduce the friction problem during orthodontic treatment, minimizing the treatment time and the risk of bacteria adhesion(1).

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of zirconium oxide nanofillers addition on the dimensional accuracy of maxillary heat cured acrylic dentures.

Teeth movements were estimated linearly using digital software after processing and vertically using digital caliper before and after processing. Changes in denture adaptation were measured immediately after processing and after seven days hydration in distilled water using digital software. Results: After processing, both groups showed increased Vertical dimension of occlusion with less increase with the test group. Both groups showed changes in teeth position with non-significant difference. Test group showed more tendency to inward tooth movement. Test group showed significant more denture adaptation after processing. However, denture hydration caused decrease in denture adaptation in the test group while causing enhancement in denture adaptation with the control group. Conclusion: Zirconium oxide nanofillers reinforcement showed nearly comparable results of dimensional accuracy to the conventional dentures with negative results on hydration.","PeriodicalId":11270,"journal":{"name":"Dental Science Updates","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79919886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blocking the open dentinal tubules is one way to reduce dentin hypersensitivity. Aim: The current study aimed at evaluating the in vitro potential of a novel experimental dentifrice made of nano-fluoro hydroxyapatite (n-FHAP) produced from a biogenic source (cuttlefishbones) for occlusion of dentinal tubules. Material and Methods: 30 dentin discs (n = 30) were classified into 3 categories (n = 10) based on the dentifrices they utilized for brushing: 1st category = artificial saliva (AS; control); 2nd category = fluoride dentifrice (Sensodyne, UK); 3rd category = experimental nano-FHAP dentifrice. Then, after brushing, discs were subjected to an acidic challenge with 6 percent wt citric acid (pH = 4.0) for 1 minute. By utilizing a SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray) spectroscopy before and after the citric acid challenge, the tubule occlusion was measured. Results: Group 1 (AS) SE micrographs revealed no tubule blockage. The tubules in Groups 2 and 3 were mostly blocked, according to SE micrographs. Data before and after the citric acid challenge data were statistically significant (p= 0.05) for all groups. Conclusion: In terms of tubule blockage, the findings of the new experimental dentifrice were equivalent to those of Sensodyne. Dentifrice containing FHAP nano-particles might be used to treat dentin sensitivity as an alternative.","PeriodicalId":11270,"journal":{"name":"Dental Science Updates","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80798438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
