Socket healing involves tissue repair and regeneration. Different types of materials are used to aid and fasten the healing process such as nano-hydroxy appetite. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the healing potential and potencies for new bone formation of nano-hydroxyapatite crystals and theobromine powder in the healing of extraction Socket in Male Albino rats. Methods: Thirty-eight male Albino rats were used this experiment. Lower left first molar was extracted from each rat. The rats were equally divided into three groups. Each group was subdivided into two subgroups (After one week and after two weeks) from receiving the treatment. control group which didn’t receive any treatment, n-HA group which received –HA and theobromine group which received theobromine. Samples were stained with H&E, Masson trichrome and Beta-catenin then assessed under light microscope. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was used to analyze data. Results: H&E section showed that theobromine group has more potential in inducing new bone formation than n-HA group.Masson trichrome stain: reveled that theobromine group induced mature bone formation compared to n-HA group.Beta-Catenin stain: All groups showed negative reactions except theobromine group 3B and n-HA group 2B. Conclusions: Nanohydroxy apatite crystals and theobromine enhance the socket healing, theobromine has superior effect compared with the nanohydroxy apatite. the effect of the treatment material is more obvious in the second week of socket healing.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141699903","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}

Methodology : Twelve human lower first molars were collected. Radicular part was removed, while coronal part was sectioned mesiodistally. Two dentin slabs were obtained from each molar. Samples were immersed in Coca Cola beverage (Coca-Cola® Co., Egypt) for 25 hours. Samples in group I were stored in artificial saliva, while in group II they were treated with agarose hydrogel. Agarose hydrogel was loaded with chitosan in group III and with Emdogain in group IV. Hydrogels were applied to samples for 5 hours. This procedure was repeated daily for 15 days. Dentin mineral contents (Ca & P) were tested using energy dispersive analytical X-ray. Results: The baseline mean values of Ca & P in sound dentin samples were (23.08±2.23) & (7.91±3.09), while were significantly decreased into (6.88±2.30) & (4.04±1.28) after immersion in Coca Cola.

Methodology: Conventional and memory elastomeric chains were attained from two different manufacturers with a total of 320 specimens. Each of the 4 chain types was divided into two groups to deliver light (200g) and heavy forces (350g) (n= 40). Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups (n=10): a control one where the elastomeric chains were immersed in deionized water and three experimental groups immersed in a sodium fluoride (NaF) containing mouthrinse, a whitening mouthrinse and an alcohol containing mouthrinse. The force decay percent was measured over 5 time points. Results: Force decay was significantly higher in alcohol containing mouthrinse group at day 1 compared to other groups followed by a marginal significance. In the whitening group; force decay was non-significantly higher than that in sodium fluoride followed by the control group . There was no significant difference in force degeneration between the two companies. In conventional chain group; there was a significantly higher force decay (p<.001) compared to memory one with the greatest decrease in the first day till the second week, then both reached a plateau and the force remained nearly constant at weeks 3 & 4.

Materials and Methods: MPC was added to polymethyl Methacrylate PMMA resin in three different concentrations forming four groups (0 [control], 1.5, 3, and 4.5%). The protein adsorption was assessed utilizing a micro bicinchoninic acid method. Candida albicans biofilm activity was estimated via colony forming unit counts. Surface roughness was evaluated utilizing a Mitutoyo surface roughness tester. Flexural strength was tested in three-point flexure utilizing a Universal Testing Machine. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (α = 0.05).
