On the other hand, the case of crowding which has no such problem is caused by so called arch length discrepancy; discrepancy between teeth and jaw sizes. This type of maloccusion, therefore, is usually treated with extraction of teeth and in most of these cases treatment is started after the permanent dentition is established and growth and development of the maxilla is fairly well completed. Actually, however, case of crowding often have skeletal disharmony as a potential problem, in which cases the orthopedic approach is thought to be better if started rather early. This is because the orthodontic approach alone is not enough to solve skeletal problems, which problems are better handled before the teeth are moved. This procedure can prevent excessive tooth movement. The two cases reported here with crowding as the chief complaint were treated by the early orthopedic approach for potential skeletal problems prior to orthodontic correction. The results indicate the effectiveness of this procedure.</p>","PeriodicalId":75458,"journal":{"name":"Aichi Gakuin Daigaku Shigakkai shi","volume":"28 2","pages":"683-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289444","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}

It is expected that porcelain veneer restorations will perform successfully in esthetic, conservative and abhesive dentistry. It is an well known fact that the micro-mechanical bonding strength at the porcelain-resin interface which is achieved through the application of hydrofluoric acid to the porcelain surface is quite a strong bonding mechanism. However, there are very few studies reporting on the acid treatment of porcelain surfaces. The authors have been studying the influence of hydrofluoric acid on porcelain surfaces, and in our previous report we reported, the degrees of corroded porcelain treated with different concentrations of hydrofluoric acid for different durations of application. In the present study, shear bonding strength was measured between resin cements and porcelain surfaces treated with different concentrations (4, 6, 8%) of hydrofluoric acid and for different durations (1 to 24 min.), and the appropriate treatment of porcelain surfaces with regard to the bonding strength was determined. The results obtained were as follows. 1. As the treating time increased with any concentration (4, 6, 8%) of hydrofluoric acid, corrosion of the porcelain surface became more intense. Hardly any evidence of corrosion was observed on any porcelain surface treated for one minute, so it seems that the treatment of porcelain surfaces using 4 to 8% hydrofluoric acids should be continued for over three minutes. 2. Observation of the surface profile by SEM showed no significant differences between the surfaces treated for 3, 6, 12 and 24 minutes. 3. It was not clear as to how the differences of hydrofluoric acid concentrations (4, 6, 8%) plus the differences in the kinds of porcelain (Super Porcelain AAA, NORITAKE Co. Ltd., VMK 68, Vita Zahnfabrik Gmbh & Co., Cosmotech Porcelain, G-C Co. Ltd.) had affected the differences in the amount of corrosion. 4. Regarding to the shear bonding strength at the porcelain-resin cement interface, in comparison with control specimens which were only sandblasted, about all two to three times higher bonding strength were obtained in specimens treated with any concentration (4, 6, 8%) of hydrofluoric acids and for any duration between 3 to 24 minutes.

The Supernatant of A. viscosus was shown to possess a lytic activity on the growing cells of P. acnes. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Only a small number of P. acnes was isolated in samples from which numerous A. viscosus were isolated. On the other hand, P. acnes were frequently isolated in samples from which few cells of A. viscosus were isolated. 2. The concentrate with ammonium sulfate of the anaerobic culture supernatant of A. viscosus was used as a lytic factor. When P. acnes was grown in broth with the lytic factor, for a short time optical density of the culture increased and then decreased. Release of 3H-thymidine was observed from the radio-labeled cells of P. acnes, suggesting the release of DNA due to the disruption of the cells. 3. Gram positive staining during early stage of cell lysis began to turn to Gram negative and disrupted cells were observed at later stages. Using an electronic microscope it was observed that cell poles were broken with cytoplasm flowing out. 4. The lytic factor lysed the growing cells, but did not lyse either the resting cells or the dead cells. 5. Radio-labeled high molecular substances were released into the supernatant from the growing cells of P. acnes which were radio-labeled by 3H-glycerol or 14C-alanine. This suggested the release of lipoteichoic acid or peptidoglycan. 6. The lytic factor did not release radio-labeled substances from the isolated peptidoglycan which was radio-labeled by both 3H-glucosamine and 14C-alanine. 7. Lysis of P. acnes by the lytic factor was inhibited by adding chloramphenicol which was assumed to inhibit the release of lipoteichoic acid. 8. From the results mentioned above, the lytic factor seemed to cause the cellular lysis of P. acnes by the release of lipoteichoic acid followed by activation of the autolytic enzyme. This mode of action is similar to that of penicillin, but the molecule of the lytic factor seemed to have the nature of protein.</p>","PeriodicalId":75458,"journal":{"name":"Aichi Gakuin Daigaku Shigakkai shi","volume":"28 2","pages":"599-611"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289530","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}
