The purpose of this study was to examine the healing process of the tongue wounds caused by the Nd:YAG contact laser. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used, focusing mainly on the papillae filiformes of the tongue, and the results were compared with the pathological findings. The laser's effect on the microcirculatory network and the healing process were observed using the injection replica scanning electron microscope method. One hundred and eighty nine male Wistar rats were used in the experiment. Irradiation condition were 3, 6, 9 and 12-W for 1.0 second. The rats were sacrificed immediately after irradiation and on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 56th days after irradiation. The results were as follows. Pathological observations; Immediately after irradiation, the 3-W wound was observed below the lamina propria. The 6-W and 9-W wounds were observed from the upper musculi transversus linguae to the near center. The 12-W wound was observed to the center of the musculi transversus linguae.

Therefore, it was assumed that the incisor dentin was suitable material for studying the effects of various drugs on such mineralization. The present study set out to examine the effects of vitamin D3 metabolites on the remineralization of dentin and the serum calcium level in parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats. Male Wistar rats weighing about 200-250 g were parathyroidectomized. Each rat was given daily 12 g of a synthetic diet containing 0.1% Ca and 0.4% P (normal P) or 0.06% P (P deficient) without vitamin D. Exp. I: Three groups of rats given a normal P diet were orally administered vehicle, 25 (OH) D3 (50 IU/rat) or 1,25 (OH)2D3 (5 IU/rat) for 5 days from the 28th day after PTX, respectively. Exp. II: Two groups of rats given a normal P diet or a P deficient diet were further divided into 4 sub-groups and intramuscularly administered 0, 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 on the 9th day after PTX, respectively. The active vitamin D3, 1,25 (OH)2D3 restored the mineralization of the dentin which had been suppressed following PTX, and elevated the serum calcium level to about 9 mg/dl. However, the 25 (OH) D3 neither restored the mineralization of the dentin nor elevated the serum calcium level in the PTX rats. At doses below 1,000 IU, vitamin D3 could not restore the mineralization of the dentin. However, at massive doses above 5,000 IU, the mineralization was restored in proportion to the dose. The serum calcium levels also increased in proportion to the dose. It is assumed that the increase of the serum calcium level was mainly due to the enhancement of calcium absorption from the intestine by vitamin D3. Both remineralization of the incisor dentin and increase of the serum calcium level were more marked in groups of rats given a P deficient diet than in those given a normal P diet. In all cases in the present experiments, the degree of mineralization of the dentin seemed to correspond with the degree of elevation of the serum calcium levels. These results suggest that the remineralization of the dentin in the PTX rats was attributable to the effect of the vitamin D3 metabolites on serum calcium regulation. Relative biological activities of 1,25 (OH)2D3, 25 (OH) D3 and vitamin D3 on the remineralization of dentin were estimated to be 1, less than 0.02 and less than 0.001, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":75458,"journal":{"name":"Aichi Gakuin Daigaku Shigakkai shi","volume":"28 3","pages":"785-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13124837","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}

In a previous report a newly developed apparatus and method were introduced by means of which the outer shapes of wax patterns and the casting made from them can be compared and evaluated, and the apparatus and method were shown to be very accurate. In the present study, the difference in the shapes of wax patterns and castings made from them was investigated using 12% Au-Pd-Ag alloy, the alloy used for restorations as stipulated by the National Health Insurance. Also, dry and wet asbestos was used to see if this affected the shape of the castings. The results are given below: 1. When day asbestos was used, the casting were the same size as the wax patterns at the marginal areas but became smaller towards the occlusal surface. The upper surface of the castings were lower than the wax patterns, being much closer to the occlusal surface itself. 2. When the asbestos was immersed in water before using it, the diameter of the casting above the marginal area was even smaller but at the occlusal surface the height of the casting was almost the same as the wax pattern. 3.
