The surgeon constantly seeks to collect enough bone to finish his tasks as well as to replace the amount of bone that has been lost.

AIM OF THE STUDY: comparing the bone healing rate of critical defect sizes in the calvaria rabbit with and without using a bio-composite material, both histopathologically and histomorphometrically. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two bone deficiencies were prepared on the Rabbits’ calvaria of. The right-handed defect was the control and the left-handed defect was the study group in all of the rabbits. The control had the defect left without anything, while the study group was received biocomposite material (bone collagen, bone sulfated glycosaminoglycans sulphated glucosamine glycans (sGAG) and hydroxyapatite in natural form). At 2, 4, 6 weeks intervals, the animals were euthanized. RESULTS: The histopathological and histomorphometric results revealed a new bone formation in both groups, the study group showed enhanced quality and quantity.

Attempts have been made to develop new materials to remineralize enamel. OBJECTIVES: To assess remineralizing effect of Self-assembling Peptide P11-4 and Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride (CPP-ACPF) in comparison to Sodium Fluoride varnish on early carious lesions in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six sound-extracted primary anterior teeth were used. A 4x4mm window was made in the middle of the labial surface of each tooth. Teeth were subjected to artificial demineralization and then randomly allocated into 3 groups: Group I(5%NaF varnish), Group II(CPP-ACPF varnish) and Group III(P11-4). Teeth were sectioned longitudinally into two halves. One half was treated by the remineralizing agent, and the other was left untreated as a negative control. Samples were subjected to elemental analysis using Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX) where the Calcium and phosphorus contents were estimated and the surface topography was assessed by Scanning-Electron-Microscope(SEM). Comparison of Calcium/Phosphorus ratio was done using One Way ANOVA and the differences in percent change were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the mineral content within each group before and after treatment indicating remineralization in all groups. The percent increase in Ca/P ratio after treatment was higher in P11-4 group with no significant difference between groups. Surface topography showed improvement in all groups with better surface quality in self-assembling peptide P11-4 group than other groups. CONCLUSION: The CPP-ACPF varnish, Self-assembling peptide P11-4 and 5% Sodium fluoride varnish are effective in restoring the mineral content and improving surface morphology of early carious lesions in primary teeth.","PeriodicalId":7723,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Dental Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138626023","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}

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Participants completed a two-part questionnaire (ten questions covering demographic, professional, and personal data and 14 questions about given trauma cases scenarios) in electronic format to assess their knowledge regarding TDIs. One score was dedicated to each correct answer: score of 0-4= poor knowledge, scores 5-8, 9-11 and 12-14= moderate, good and excellent, respectively. Data was collected and transferred to a secured spread sheet. Frequencies and percentage were calculated for qualitative variables. Comparisons between the three categories were done using Chi-square test. Ordinal logistic regression was conducted to assess the association between dental specialties with knowledge score.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of HBOT on the regeneration of critical-sized defects in rats with induced diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve adult male albino rats were divided into two groups of 6 animals each. Animals in both groups were given a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to induce DM. Critical-sized defects were created in the posterior mandibles and filled with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β -TCP). The study group was subjected to HBOT at (2.4 ATA) for 5 days per week for 90 minutes each. Animals were euthanized one week postoperatively. Bone regeneration was assessed histologically and histomorphometrically. Angiogenesis was evaluated by immunohistochemistry against vascular endothelial progenitor cell marker (CD34), and the microvessel density (MVD) was calculated. RESULTS: Histological and immunohistochemical results revealed superior bone regeneration and angiogenesis in the study group. These results were further confirmed by the histomorphometrical analysis which showed higher MVD and new bone surface area in the study group compared to the control group.
