Volume 23, Issue 2 (23 2010)
Abstract

Background and Aims: Moisture contamination of etched enamel during application of sealant is the most frequently cited reason for sealant failure. In previous studies, some hydrophilic bonding agents have been shown to bond to etched enamel after salivary contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the enamelsealant interface following the use of primer on the saliva contaminated and/or moist etched enamel.

Materials and Methods: 40 extracted human incisors were selected. The enamel surfaces were etched for 20 seconds with an acid gel and rinsed for 30 seconds and dried until chalky surface was observed. Teeth were randomly divided into four treatment groups (n=10). Sealant (Deguseal mineral, Degussa) was applied on (1) etched enamel surface as a standard control group, (2) in conjunction with using primer material on moist etched enamel, (3) in conjunction with using primer material on salivary contaminated etched enamel, and (4) on wet contaminated etched enamel surface as a negative control group. Then, the specimens were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at ×1400 magnification. To evaluate the enamel resin interface, the number of resin tags was counted. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.

Results: The results showed that primer used on moist enamel under sealant had no significantly difference in number and shape of tags in comparison with standard group (P>0.05). Application of primer on saliva contaminated enamel surface under sealant significantly reduced the number of tags and changed the shape and pattern of tags (P<0.001). Following application of sealant on contaminated and etched enamel alone, no resin tags formed.

Conclusion: Application of primer relatively reduced sensitivity to saliva contamination but the pattern was changed and number of tags reduced. Therefore, primer application might be useful whenever the isolation is not possible. However, it should be emphasized that restrict isolation in sealant therapy is recommended.

Abstract

  Background and Aims: Hepatitis B is an important infection route in dentistry requiring different disinfectants to prevent its transmission. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of chemical disinfectants (FD366, ISORAPID and 5% sodium hypochlorite 2/100) to remove Hepatitis B infections from the dental surfaces.

  Materials and Methods: In this experimental laboratory trial, serum of 10 HBV patients was poured into microtubes, FD366, ISORAPID and hypochlorite disinfectants were added to them. PCR experiments with viral diagnostic kits were used to diagnose the virus genome. Real time PCR was used to evaluate after incubation with the disinfectants. The reductions occurred in the viral load of Hepatitis B were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests .

  Results: No significant antiviral efficacy was noted following the application of FD366 and ISORAPID disinfectants (P=0/07). However, hypochlorite showed the most efficacy to disinfect Hepatitis B and a significant difference was found among them (P<0.0001).

  Conclusion: Under the study limitations, FD366 and ISORAPID disinfectants did not show adequate efficacy to remove Hepatitis B virus. Hypochlorite was the most effective disinfectant.

Abstract

  Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran ( mirahashemi@tums.ac.ir )

  Background and Aims: Nowadays patients refer to orthodontist for issue such as dental crowding and other aesthetic problems. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relationship between some of mandibular anatomical landmarks and dental crowding in the patient with skeletal Cl II due to mandibular deficiency.

  Materials and Methods: 108 cases have been randomly selected out of patients with mandibular related Cl II problem associated with lower incisor crowding, out of orthodontic patient department of Tehran university of medical sciences. ANB, SNB, mandibular discrepancy, gonial angle, Sn-Go-Gn and IMPA was evaluated out of the data. Lateral cephalograms were used for this matter. The correlation between variables was evaluated by correlation test and after reviewing the data was analyzed using Normality test, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for normally distributed variables.

  Results: Corpus-ramus length ratio had a significant relationship with dental crowding (P≤0.05) but there was no meaningful and significant relationship between other facial landmarks ( P = 0.26 ).

  Conclusion: there seems to be a slight relationship between facial landmarks and dental crowding in lower incisors. But further case control and clinical studies may be helpful in achieving more reliable data.

Volume 28, Issue 3 (10-2015)
Abstract

Background and Aims: Cleft lip and palate patients require orthodontic treatments during their childhood and adolescence. Tweed diagnostic triangle as well as cephalometric assessments provides important data regarding the skeletal patterns for the treatment and diagnostic purposes. The present study determined the cephalometric changes of Tweed triangle in the cleft lip and palate patients compared to normal patients.

Materials and Methods: In total, 101 cleft and palate patients as well as 95 normal individuals with the balanced age, gender and race were evaluated. All the cleft and palate patients had similar treatment histories. Radiographic clichés were obtained from both groups and the images were traced after identifying the anatomic landmarks. The studied landmarks included points, lines, and plans as well as dental and skeletal angles and distance ratios measured in radiographic images. The landmarks were statistically analyzed using Student t test.

Results: Significant differences were found between the cleft lip and palate patients and normal individuals regarding craniofacial complex morphology (P<0.001). Gender did not show significant effect on the cephalometic indices changes (except to IMPA and FMIA angles). Tweed angle changes were more in the males than that of females between normal and cleft lip and palate patients. Mandibular retrusion (decreased SNB), gonial angle opening, increased mandibular plan inclination and facial anterior height were similar in the normal and cleft lip and palate individuals while no significant differences were found between two groups regarding cranium indices (P>0.05).

Conclusion: In total, significant differences were observed between normal and cleft lip and palate individuals regarding Tweed diagnostic triangle area. These differences were decreased IMPA and increased FMA and FMIA angles. No significant differences were found in terms of other indices.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Microleakage is a criterion proposed for assessing the success of any restorative material. Complete seal is difficult especially for dentin margins compared to enamel margins. The aim of this study was to assess the microleakage at the enamel and dentin margins of class V cavities restored by two GIs and two self-etch adhesive systems.

Materials and Methods: This study was done on forty third molars. Class V cavities (3×2×2mm) were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of teeth using high speed handpiece with 0.8 mm diamond fissure burr. The occlusal margins of the cavities in the enamel and gingival margins were placed 1 mm below the CEJ. The teeth were divided into 4 groups and the bondings were cured for 20 sec and the teeth were restored. The specimens were kept in distilled water at the temperature of 37°C for 24 hrs. The teeth were thermo cycled and cut in buccolingual direction using diamond disc under water. The dye penetration was evaluated using a stereomicroscope and the leakage was scored. The scores were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test while the paired comparisons were done using Bonferroni correction. P≤0.05 was regarded as significant results.

Results: Microleakage scores were similar at the occlusal and gingival walls of all test groups. At the gingival walls, the least microleakage scores were observed. “Fuji IX + SE bond” group showed significant differences with the “Fuji IX + G bond” and “Nanoglass + G bond” groups (P≤0.05). At the occlusal walls, the least scores were observed in the “Fuji IX+SE bond” specimens which were significantly different from the other groups (P≤0.05).

Conclusion: Self-Cure glass ionomers yielded less microleakage scores compared to the different types of light-cures due to the less polymerization shrinkage.
