Dimensional accuracy and displacement of surface repeatability affect results in these individual steps. Although changes in individual materials have already been measured in the past, there has been almost no measurement up to now of denture fabrication up to the denture base, using the mucous membrane as the standard and then measuring changes in the displacement of surface repeatability for each step. Noticing this lack, the authors used a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), presently the only non-contact measuring instrument that can be used, and measured changes at the different stages including the mucous membrane, the impression materials, the plaster and the resin. A drying process is required for the mucous membrane, and such a process can cause changes in the mucous membrane which is the basis of measurement. For this reason, the authors used Araldite, a product from Ciba-Geigy AG, as a replica material and made replicas for all the test materials, using the replicas for measurement. Results were as follows: 1. Araldite was used as the replica material, thus making it possible with the SEM to observe changes in the displacement of surface repeatability at the individual stages. 2. Major changes in the accuracy of surface were observed during impression-taking and in the period of moving from the impression material to the plaster. 3. During high-power observation with the SEM, the fine bumps on the surface of the plaster and resin disappeared and the surfaces became smooth. This is believed to be the result of the separating agent and heat.</p>","PeriodicalId":77564,"journal":{"name":"Kanagawa shigaku.

In order to induce an experimental occlusal trauma, composite resin was added on the occlusal surfaces of mandibular second and third premolars of dogs to raise the bite for a period of time, followed by injection of methacrylate resin (MERCOX) into inferior alveolar artery and dissolution of soft tissues by protainase and examined under the scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL 35 C). The results are as follows: After 14 days, a wide range of avascularized area was observed on resin cast of periodontal membrane. The surface of alveolar bone on which the vasculature disappeared did not show resorption process. However, the surface of alveolar bone next to the periodontal vasculature showed undergoing a direct bone resorption. After 30 days, the vasculature of periodontal membrane underwent a morphological change and turned out to appear as a mesh-like vascular network. Certain avascularized regions was observed over the alveolar bone on margin region and cervical region, and it was circumscribed by a vasculature with glomerule-like loops. This vasculature was suspected originating from underlying alveolar bone marrow and connected with the residual vasculature of periodontal membrane. After 60 days, vasculature of periodontal membrane facing teeth appeared quite resemblance with that of health periodontal membrane. Those next to the alveolar bone, however, showed enlargement. In this period, avascularized area was not observed. After 90 days, the vasculature in periodontal membrane lost its original two-layered arrangement and replaced by the irregular arrayed bundle-like vasculature. Longitudinally arrayed mesh like vasculature was observed in certain region of periodontal vasculature. After 180 days, bundle-like vessels arrayed as an ellipse pattern. Also, resorption process could be observed on the surface of alveolar bone and interradicular septum. Experimental study of occlusal trauma on dentition clearly indicated that teeth were showed a mobility in vertical direction and that the vasculature of periodontal membrane were showed depression and elongation for a period of time.

Four characteristic features of angular measurements are presented, namely, subjects who showed different types in position and forms by plotted angles within 80% of total amounts. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. Functional directions of masticatory cycles are clearly recognized in areas of IP from opening and closing phases during masticatory movements. 2.

The correlation between actual age and the D/L ratio of aspartic acid was investigated by analyzing not only total amino acid but its fractionated substances, insoluble collagen and soluble peptide. The coefficient values of correlation between the D/L ratio and actual age in lower central incisors were 0.996 (sigma = 1.0 years) for total amino acid, 0.998 (sigma = +/- 1.8 years) for insoluble collagen, and 0.997 (sigma = +/- 0.9 years) for soluble peptide. The corresponding figures in upper and lower first premolars were 0.991 (sigma = +/- 1.6 years), 0.989 (sigma = +/- 1.9 years), and 0.994 (sigma = +/- 1.4 years), respectively. The reactive velocity of aspartic acid racemization was highest for soluble peptide both in lower central incisors and upper and lower first premolars, approximately three times as rapid as that for total amino acid. The velocity for insoluble collagen was slightly lower than that for total amino acid. Age estimation was attempted from the teeth of an unknown body. As a result, age estimated from the analysis of soluble peptide was most accurate. These results suggest that the analysis not only of total amino acid in dentin but its fractionated and extracted substances can lead to higher reliability in age estimation.

The method allows for subsequent analysis of the absorped proteins by two dimensional microelectrophoresis. A system to measure dyestained proteins on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels employing a television camera for data acquisition and a micro computer for data analysis is described. It can be seen that elution from the hydroxyapatite columns are qualitatively similar, more protein eluting at 0.1 M phosphate. Less protein was adsorbed by the 1,250 degrees C and 1,400 degrees C hydroxyapatite ceramics, and equal amounts were eluted with 0.01 M and 0.1 M phosphate solutions. The 0.1 M phosphate eluates were subsequently analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The proteins adsorbed band eluted from the biomaterials, are estimated to be albumin, pl 4.7-4.9; transferin, pl 5.9 and IgG, pl 5.8-7.3. pl's were obtained from literature and tentative identifications made by comparison with the patterns of reference serum. The protein pattern from each biomaterial was reproducible. Albumin, IgG and transferin were obtained from non-treated hydroxyapatite. Different patterns were observed with eluates of 1,250 degrees C and 1,450 degrees C hydroxyapatite ceramics. The large spot, tentatively identified as albumin and a small amount of IgG, were the only proteins seen.

These HPLF were obtained by the explantation method and then subcultured in D-MEM containing 2 mg FCSP/ml, 50 micrograms ascorbic acid/ml and penicillin/streptomycin after trypsinization. The HPLF were inoculated at a cell density of 1.25 x 10(4) cells/cm2 in culture wells. After 24hr, the HPLF were treated every two days for 7 days with 0.5-10nM 1,25 (OH)2D3. Then, ALPase activity, DNA and protein contents were assayed by the methods using p-nitrophenylphosphate, diaminobenzoic acid and Coomassie Brilliant Blue, respectively. Also, ALPase was prepared from the confluent HPLF incubated with 5 nM 1,25 (OH)2D3 for 12 days, and digested with and without trypsin. The crude ALPase which was solubilized with 10mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 containing 0.2 mM MgCl2 and 0.1% NP-40 was applied to 5-15% gradient SDS-PAGE and stained with beta-naphththylacid phosphate and First Blue BB salt in 60 mM borate buffer pH 9.7. The cell growth which was assayed by DNA contents and the incorporation of 3H-thymidine was decreased by 1,25(OH)2D3. On the other hand, ALPase activity was increased approximately 3.6 fold at 6 day by the addition of 5 nM 1,25(OH)2D3. From the separation of ALPase activity on SDS-PAGE, 110 K and 120-130 K ALPase were identified. The 110 K ALPase, which was not changed by 1,25(OH)2D3, was converted to 100K, releasing 10K peptide after trypsin treatment. This 110K ALPase might be tightly associated with cell membrane structure. The 120-130K ALPase was remarkably increased by 1,25(OH)2D3 on SDS-PAGE and completely digested with trypsin. The ALPase in the cultured HPLF might be located not only on the plasma membrane but also in the extracellular matrix.
