Five groups of male S.D. rats weighing 110-120g were received s.c. injections of 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, and 8mg P/kg body wt. of EDTPO once daily (at noon) for 10 days respectively. Tetracycline (Tc.) were i.p. injected three times, one day before drug treatment (1st), 5th (2nd) and 10th (3rd) day of experimental period. All rats were received i.p. injection of 185kBq (5 microCi) of 45Ca six hours after the 10th injection of EDTPO. On the next day, blood samples were taken from the carotid artery. Then the animals were killed and both tibias, submandibular teeth and right femur were removed. Serum Ca, IP and ALP were determined by spectrophotometry. Wet, dry and ash bone weight were measured and bone calcium was determined by atomic absorption method. 45Ca activity was counted by the liquid scintillation counter. Serum Ca levels revealed decreasing tendency at the dose of 1mg P/kg and 2mg P/kg of EDTPO but increasing tendency at 4mg P/kg and significant increase at the dose of 8mg P/kg. Specific activity of 45Ca in serum increased slightly at 2mg P/kg, but at the dose of 8mg P/kg increased five times compared to that of control. Decrease of IP and increase of ALP level were observed only at the dose level of 8mg P/kg. Wet, dry, and ash weight, and Ca content of femur and 45Ca activity were decreased dose-dependently. In histological examination, changes of tibia and teeth were observed at the dose of 2mg P/kg and following dose increase these changes were more significantly.

These result indicated that the effects of EDTPO on serum ingredients, long bone and teeth are initiated at the dose of 2mg P/kg, appeared at the dose of 4mg P/kg significantly, and at the dose of 8 mg P/kg severely. In addition, increase of the ratio of 45Ca specific activity between serum and bone observed at the dose of 4mg P/kg and 8mg P/kg suggested that these effects of EDTPO would be due to inhibitory action on mineralization.</p>","PeriodicalId":76539,"journal":{"name":"Shigaku = Odontology; journal of Nihon Dental College","volume":"78 3","pages":"575-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289824","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}

The number of not only adult but also pediatric patients who visit for treatment aiming at esthetic recovery is being increased. Inpedodontics, composite resin of the coronal color is generally used in the restoration of deciduous incisors. However, the method using metal crowns for the deciduous teeth is used for the deciduous molars at present. We applied a composite resin jacket crown to the deciduous molar in a way similar to that of esthetic crown restoration for the anterior teeth. The surgical procedure before crown preparation varied slightly according to the presence or absence of pulpal treatment of vital teeth and with non-vital teeth, but the application was performed as follows: 1) Desensitization of pulp, pulpal treatment and core construction. 2) Preparation of crown. 3) Selection, trial set and occlusal equilibration of a metal crown for the deciduous tooth. 4) Precision impression with a silicone impression material. 5) Removal of the metal crown for the deciduous tooth from the impression material. 6) Making of an under-cut to the abutment tooth on the buccal lingual side. 7) Filling of the impression with chemical polymerization resin. 8) Application of pressure in the oral cavity. 9) Adjustment of edge and crown forms. Thus, the preparation method for the composite resin jacket crown was relatively simple.

This quality is expressed as a fracture toughness value, KIC, but no distinct method for its determination has yet been established. In order to standardize conditions for the determination of KIC by the indentation method, effects of indentation load and loading time on KIC of calcium phosphate crystalline ceramics (CP) were studied at various Vickers indentation loads and various loading times in CP plate-like segments. Furthermore, plate-like segments of each of CP, apatite (AP), mica-beta-spodumene (MIS) and mica (MIC) groups were subjected to experiment at various indentation loads at a fixed loading time to study the effects of indentation load on KIC in four kinds of Castable Ceramics. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The Vickers hardness degree of CP was decreased with an increase in indentation load and loading time, reaching the maximum value (499Hv) at 1kgf of indentation load and 5s of loading time. 2) The value of half of the crack length of CP was increased with an increase in indentation load and loading time, reaching a maximum (530 microns) at 20kgf of indentation load and 30s of loading time. 3) KIC of CP reached the maximum value (2.78MNm-3/2) at 5kgf of indentation load and 5s of loading time, and the minimum (1.52MNm-3/2) at 20kgf of indentation load and 30s of loading time. 4) Optimal experimental conditions for KIC of CP determined by indentation method were 5kgf or 10kgf of indentation load and 15s of loading time. 5) KIC values (MNm-3/2) determined at 5kgf of indentation load and 15s of loading time for CP, AP, MIS and MI were 2.27, 0.95, 1.82 and 1.81, respectively. 6) The course of cracks due to indentation force showed a linear pattern of intra-granular fracture. 7) The cracks were revealed to show median cracks by fractography.</p>","PeriodicalId":76539,"journal":{"name":"Shigaku = Odontology; journal of Nihon Dental College","volume":"78 3","pages":"460-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289276","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}
