The exact mechanism of transmission of an environmental stimulus across dentine is not fully understood; currently the most accepted theory is the hydrodynamic theory as proposed initially by Brannstrom. Treatment has been concentrated on either reducing the dentine fluid flow by occlusion of tubule openings, or altering the pulpal sensory nerve activity preventing transmission of pain to the central nervous system. Aims and Method: The aims of the present in vitro study were to examine the dentine tubule occluding and penetrating properties of selected in-office desensitizing agents (varnishes and primers) using scanning electron microscopy and a dentine disc model. Results: Of the products examined, the fluoride varnishes, Bifluoride 12 and Duraphat, and Cervitec (a chlorhexidine containing varnish) were effective in both occluding and penetrating the dentine tubules. The results from All Bond 2, One Step and Scotchbond primers were superior to those of HEMA group primers, Gluma 3, Gluma CPS and Solobond Plus. Conclusions: These findings suggest a mechanism for the action of these potential desensitising agents and suggest that the tubule penetrating properties may play a role in the longevity of their retention on the tooth. Investigation of surface coverage and tubule penetrating characteristics are both necessary in order to fully evaluate in vitro the desensitising potential of agents claimed to reduce Dentine Sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":326702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental and Maxillofacial Research","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114940633","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}

Materials and Methods: 60 dentine discs were divided equally into 15 groups treated with 0%, 5.0%, 15.0% and 25.0% bioactive glass loading respectively and Nupro ® at different applications (30, 60 and 120 seconds). Dentine permeability (Percentage flow rate) of each specimen was measured using a modified Pashley hydraulic conductance model at four different time points: (1) before toothpaste application, (2) after toothpaste application, (3) after saliva immersion and (4) after an acid challenge. Data were analysed by ANOVA to determine whether there were any significant differences with the control group (Nupro ® ) compared to the test groups at three different time intervals (30, 60 and 120 seconds). 20 dentine discs were analysed to observe the surface tubular occlusive effect following application of the various loadings at different times using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: There was an increased percentage fluid flow rate (FR) reduction with increasing bioactive glass loading (0.0%, 5.0%, 15.0%, 25.0%) compared to the control material Nupro ® . The 25% bioactive glass loading was the most effective in reducing fluid flow at the various time points although there were no significant differences between the 15% and 25% glass loading. The 25.0% bioactive glass loading at 120 seconds also demonstrated effective tubular occlusion compared to the control prophylaxis paste. A comparison between the control and the various glass loadings at the various time points using SEM demonstrated increasing tubule occlusion with increasing time of application. Tubular occlusion also increased following artificial saliva immersion but decreased following an acidic challenge. Conclusions: Increasing the bioactive glass loading resulted in a greater fluid flow rate reduction with an increase of time of applications. Overall, the most effective application was with the 25% loaded bioactive glass at 120 seconds although the application of the 15% loaded bioactive glass prophylaxis paste for 30 seconds demonstrated effective tubular occlusion and fluid flow reduction.","PeriodicalId":326702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental and Maxillofacial Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128443025","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}

Such deficiencies can cause functional defects, misalignments, and mandibular shifts that can impact one’s function, comfort, and quality of life. This review aimed to synthesize the clinical findings of rapid palatal expanders. Methods: A literature search of skeletal effects of maxillary rapid palatal expansion was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies that measured changes in maxillary width over at least one year of expansion and retention or radiographic confirmation of skeletal expansion with a sample size of over 15 subjects. Exclusion criteria were subjects with developmental defects, such as cleft palate, or any type of surgical assisted rapid palatal expansion. A total of 12 articles were found from January 1990 to April 2022 and included in this review. Results: All 12 articles reported that rapid palatal expansion notably increases the maxillary skeletal transversal dimension. Across all studies, the amount of intercanine expansion from rapid palatal expansion ranged from 2.5 to 4.0 mm, and the amount of intermolar expansion ranged from 3.9 to 6.5 mm. The studies also showed a significant expansion of nasal cavity (airway), various facial sutures being affected, occurrence of buccal tipping of all maxillary teeth, mandibular spacing being gained, and that relapse, although present, had an insignificant effect on the long-term retention of expansion. Conclusion: Rapid palatal expanders are effective in producing both immediate and long-term transverse expansion in subjects in late mixed dentition.","PeriodicalId":326702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental and Maxillofacial Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122875183","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}
