The current study investigated the distribution of periodontal epithelial cells and nerve fibres within the furcations of rat maxillary molar teeth subjected to hypothermic injury. The upper right first molars of 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a single 20 minute application of dry ice in order to produce aseptic necrosis within the periodontal ligament, while the contralateral first molar served as an untreated control. Five animals were each sacrificed via cardiac perfusion after 7, 10, 14, 18, 21 and 28 days respectively and the maxillae were dissected out. After fixation in paraformaldehyde and processing, the tissues were embedded in paraffin wax and cut into 7µm serial coronal sections through the furcation region. Consecutive sections were then stained with H&E, cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and PGP 9.5 immunostains. Light microscopic examination of the H&E stained sections revealed that ankylosis had not developed in all of the experimental teeth, and in some of the observation groups fewer teeth were ankylosed than unaffected. The morphology of the ankylotic areas appeared to change with time, initially consisting of fine bony trabeculae, then progressing to solid bone occupying the entire furcation before becoming less solid again by the latest observation periods. Root resorption was often seen adjacent to areas of ankylosis, but the cementum of the tooth root at the point of ankylotic union was usually intact and free of resorption. Changes within the pulp chambers of the experimental teeth were also noted, with reduction in cellularity and tissue disorganisation initially, then increasing cellularity and formation of a cementum-like material on the chamber walls later. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 immunostaining successfully identified epithelial cells within the periodontal ligament and their distribution around control teeth was similar to previous reports. Counting of these cells revealed lower numbers around experimental teeth, with the lowest counts around experimental teeth which had developed ankylosis. No change in the epithelial cell counts was detected over time, and these cells did not appear to regenerate after necrosis regardless of whether or not ankylosis developed. Statistical analysis indicated that the probability of ankylosis decreased as the number of epithelial cells increased. The PGP 9.5 immunostain identified periodontal nerve fibres, but the use of this stain was quite technique sensitive. The furcations of the molar teeth were noted to have relatively sparse innervation, with most of the visible nerve fibres being closely associated with blood vessels and located in the outer two-thirds of the ligament. Counting of the nerve fibres revealed fewer fibres around experimental teeth compared to control teeth, especially in the part of the ligament closest to the tooth root. There was no relationship detected between nerve count and time or between nerve and epithelial cell counts. Resorption was found to be more prevalent in experimental teeth, and the probability of resorption in a given tooth decreased as the epithelial cell count increased. The findings of this study suggest that the epithelial cells within the periodontal ligament have a protective function in the prevention of dentoalveolar ankylosis and resorption. Evidence of an intimate interrelationship between periodontal nerve fibre and epithelial cell numbers could not be confirmed. The null hypothesis that epithelial cell rests of Malassez do not provide a protective function against ankylosis and external root resorption was rejected, and the null hypothesis that nerve fibres and epithelial cells are not inter-dependent was retained. / http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1297409 / Thesis (D.Clin.Dent.) -- School of Dentistry, 2007

The lower third and fourth pre-molar of four male dogs (Beagle) was used. The teeth were cut, and the mesial roots were extracted and kept out for 1 hour at ambient temperature. After removal of necrotic periodontal ligament and endodontic treatment, the root was immersed in sodium fluoride for 5 minutes. Then it was reimplanted in the correspondent alveolar bone and splinted in distal portion. A pulpotomy and a crown restoration were conducted on the distal portion. After 30 days, the mesial portions had their crowns cut (decoronation).Moreover, 5 months later, five implants were installed in bone repair, Group I (Control), and nine were installed in the fresh socket of the distal portions, which were extracted (Group II - Immediate). Finally, twelve implants were installed on the mesial roots, with process of external resorption (Group III - experimental). After 120 days, the results were analyzed by bone implant contact, from the surface of the implant without threads to the first three threads. It was also evaluated the area of the bone tissue located in the internal spaces of the first three threads and the corresponding mirror area. The bone implant contact was 55% in the control group, 48% in the immediate group and 40% in the experimental group. The area of bone tissue in the internal threads area was respectively 71%, 61% and 55%, and the mirror area of bone tissue had the following results: 62%, 60% and 58%.

Yes / Objective: To better understand the pathogenesis of DISH, identifying early or pre-DISH lesions in the spine and investigating the relationship between spinal and extra-spinal manifestations of DISH. Material: 44 skeletonized individuals with DISH from the WM Bass Donated Skeletal Collection. Methods: For each vertebra, location, extension, point of origin and appearance of vertebral outgrowths were recorded. The size of the enthesophytes at the olecranon process, patella and calcaneal tuberosity was measured with digital callipers. Results: At either end of the DISH-ankylosed segment, isolated vertical outgrowths arising from the central third of the anterior aspect of the vertebral body can usually be observed. These bone outgrowths show a well-organized external cortical layer, an internal structure of trabecular bone and usually are unaccompanied by or show minimal associated endplate degeneration. Analysis of the relationship between spinal and extra-spinal manifestations (ESM) suggests great inter-individual variability. No correlation between any ESM and the stage of spinal DISH was found. Conclusions: Small isolated outgrowths represent the earliest stages of the spinal manifestations of DISH. The use of ESM as an indicator of DISH should be undertaken with great caution until the relationship between these two features is understood. Significance: Improved accuracy of paleopathological diagnostic criteria of DISH. Limitations: Small sample comprised of only individuals with DISH. Future research: micro-CT analysis to investigate the internal structure of the spinal lesions. Analysis of extra-spinal enthesophytes in individuals with and without DISH to understand their pathogenesis and association with the spinal lesions in individuals with DISH. / Institute of Life Sciences Research Studentship awarded by the University of Bradford, Bradford, UK.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been prescribed for the evaluation of unerupted teeth, and ankylosis is an important characteristic to be observed in the analysis of these teeth. The objective of this research was to establish diagnostic criteria, using pixel intensity in CBCT and associate with clinical and demographic factors. The pixel intensity value was performed by two analyzes. The first (analyze 1) evaluated the mean pixel intensity in different regions of the dento-alveolar complex in normal and ankylosis areas. The second (analyze 2) was observed the variation of pixel intensity values in two normal areas and one of ankylosis. Data were analyzed statistically by means of absolute and relative frequency measurements; odds ratio, Chi-square. The t-test was used to compare the means of pixel intensity. One hundred and fifty-seven CBCT exams of individuals with unerupeted or partially erupted teeth with suspected ankylosis were evaluated, totaling 206 teeth. Fifty-seven teeth (27.6%) had a presumptive diagnosis of ankylosis and were evaluated using pixel intensity value. In analysis 1, it was observed that the values of alveolar bone in the normal and ankylosis areas, practically have the same variability of pixel intensity value (t-test = 0.07). When comparing the density of normal PDL with the ankylosis area, a higher density is observed (t-test p <0.001). When compared to the alveolar bone interface with PDL and alveolar bone with ankylosis area, it is observed that the intensity of the pixels in the ankylosis region is greater than in the normal area (t-test p <0.001). In analysis 2, it was observed that there was a marked reduction of pixel intensity value in the PDL area, which did not occur in the ankylosis areas. Considering the clinical and demographic factors, the occurrence in individuals over 20 years old was 72.5%, and less or equal to 20 years was 27.5% (odds ratio 1.8 95% CI 0.87-3.73), and 77.2% (n = 44) were in the upper arch. The mesioangular inclination was observed in 49.1% (n = 28), and the association between impaction and dental ankylosis was not observed (p = 0.44 Chi-square). The cervical and middle thirds of root were the most affected, 38.6% and 35.1%, respectively. It was possible to observe ankylosis in 22 teeth (38.6%) in three multiplanar reconstructions. In summary, the results suggest that the CBCT examination allows the diagnosis of ankylosis and the analysis of the pixel intensity values and their variability are an important digital tool for the interpretation and diagnosis process. / Anquilose dentária constitui uma desordem, em que ocorre a fusão total ou parcial do cemento ou dentina ao osso alveolar, pela ausência do ligamento periodontal (LPD), podendo evoluir para a reabsorção por substituição. O exame de tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (TCFC) tem sido prescrito para a avaliação de dentes não irrompidos, sendo a anquilose uma característica importante a ser observada na análise desses dentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estabelecer critérios de diagnóstico, utilizando intensidade de pixel em TCFC e associar com fatores clínicos e demográficos. A análise de intensidade de pixel foi realizada por meio de duas análises. A primeira (análise 1) avaliou a média de intensidade de pixel em diferentes regiões do complexo dento-alveolar em áreas normais e de anquilose. A segunda (análise 2) observou a variação dos valores de intensidade de pixel em duas áreas normais e uma de anquilose. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio de medidas de análise de frequência absoluta e relativa; odds ratio, Qui-quadrado. O teste-t foi utilizado para comparação das médias de intensidade de pixel. Cento e cinquenta e sete exames TCFC de indivíduos com dentes não irrompidos ou parcialmente irrompidos e com suspeita de anquilose, foram avaliados, totalizando 206 dentes. Cinquenta e sete dentes (27,6%) possuíam diagnóstico presuntivo de anquilose, e foram avaliados por meio da intensidade de pixel. Na análise 1, observou-se que os valores de osso alveolar na área normal e de anquilose, possuem praticamente a mesma variabilidade de intensidade de cinza (Teste-t p=0,07). Quando comparado a densidade do LPD normal com a área de anquilose, observa-se uma maior densidade (Teste-t p<0,001). Quando comparado a interface osso alveolar com LPD e osso alveolar com área de anquilose, observase que a intensidade dos pixels na região da anquilose é maior do que da área normal (Teste-t p<0,001). Na análise 2, observou-se que havia uma redução acentuada da intensidade de pixel na área do LPD, o que não ocorreu nas áreas de anquilose. Considerando os fatores clínicos e demográficos, a ocorrência em pacientes acima de 20 anos foi de 72,5%, e menor ou igual a 20 anos foi de 27,5% (Odds ratio 1,8 IC95% 0,87-3,73), sendo que 77,2% (n=44) foi localizada na arcada superior. A inclinação mesioangular foi observada em 49,1% (n=28), e não foi constatada a associação entre impacção e anquilose dentária (p=0,44 Quiquadrado). Os terços cervical e médio radiculares foram os mais acometidos, 38,6% e 35,1%, respectivamente. Foi possível observar anquilose em 22 dentes (38,6%), em três reconstruções multiplanares. Em síntese, os resultados sugerem que o exame de TCFC permite o diagnóstico de anquilose e a análise dos valores de pixel e sua variabilidade, constituem uma ferramenta auxiliar importante para o processo de interpretação e diagnóstico.

The presented diploma thesis deals with the elemental composition of hard tissues – human and murine jaws studied by laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (LIBS). Samples of human teeth contained a disease called ankylosis and the difference in elemental composition of healthy and diseased tissue was observed to localize ankylosis in the tooth. When evaluating the map of the spatial distribution of phosphorus and calcium, a decrease in the concentration of these elements in the ankylosis infected area was observed. Furthermore, murine jaws containing lead were analyzed. When assessing the spatial distribution of lead in tissue, it was found that lead was incorporated in murine teeth in the enamel at the tip of the incisor and molars. In conclusion, LIBS method achieved good results considering the detection of the elemental distribution of hard tissues. It enables to differentiate parts of the tooth in terms of elemental composition and tissue hardness and also to detect changes in the matrix caused by a disease or bioaccumulation of heavy metals.

O tratamento preconizado para dentes permanentes avulsionados devido a traumatismos dentários em crianças é o reimplante dental. Entretanto, sabe-se que o sucesso após o reimplante depende, especialmente, do tempo em que o dente permanece fora do alvéolo e do meio de conservação no qual o dente é armazenado. Nesse sentido, para que se tenha sucesso após o reimplante faz-se necessário que o dente seja imediatamente reimplantado e/ou seja mantido em um meio capaz de manter a vitalidade das células da superfície radicular. Se isso não for possível, o tratamento da superfície radicular deverá ser instituído com o objetivo de prevenir a reabsorção radicular. Dessa maneira, esta pesquisa teve como primeiro objetivo avaliar a influência de diferentes meios de conservação para dentes avulsionados, por meio de uma revisão sistemática, com a finalidade de estabelecer se há um consenso sobre o meio mais adequado para conservação capaz de prevenir sequelas como anquilose e reabsorção dentária. A seguir, o segundo objetivo desse estudo foi testar o Denosumab, um anticorpo monoclonal anti-RANKL, como substância para o tratamento tópico da superfície radicular, a fim de evitar a anquilose e a reabsorção dentária por substituição. Para tanto, foram utilizados 36 incisivos superiores direitos de ratos submetidos à extração cirúrgica, manutenção em meio extra-alveolar seco por 60 minutos e posterior reimplante. No grupo I, controle positivo, foi realizado o reimplante tardio sem tratamento de superfície; nos grupos II e III, grupos experimentais, previamente ao reimplante tardio foi realizado o tratamento da superfície radicular com solução de Denosumab a 60 mg/mL e a 30 mg/mL, respectivamente, por 10 minutos. Os canais radiculares dos animais dos três grupos foram preenchidos com pasta à base de hidróxido de cálcio, via retrógrada, e em seguida os dentes foram reimplantados. Decorridos 15 e 60 dias do reimplante, os animais foram submetidos à eutanásia e as peças, contendo dente e osso, foram removidas para o processamento histotécnico. A seguir cortes histológicos foram realizados, corados por hematoxilina e eosina (HE), para descrição das características da superfície dentária e do ligamento periodontal e para mensuração do comprimento (perímetro) da anquilose e/ou reabsorção por substituição e das áreas de reabsorção dentária, em microscopia de luz e, para mensuração da área do ligamento periodontal, em microscopia de fluorescência. Espécimes sequenciais foram analisados por meio de coloração de Brown & Brenn modificada para identificação de micro-organismos e imunohistoquímica para identificação dos marcadores RANKL, OPG e Periostina (PRT). As análises foram realizadas de forma descritiva e quantitativa. Dados quantitativos foram submetidos à analise estatística por meio do teste paramétrico ANOVA de uma via e pós-teste de Tukey e dos testes não-paramétricos de qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, com nível de significância de 5%. Ao final da revisão sistemática da literatura pudemos concluir que não há evidência para estabelecer qual o melhor meio de conservação para dentes avulsionados. Dentre os meios que foram encontrados estão a água de coco, água da torneira, leite de soja, leite integral, solução salina, saliva, própolis, soro fisiológico, solução Euro-Collins, solução salina balanceada de Hanks (HBSS) e Viaspan®. Ainda que esta revisão tenha sido conduzida em modelo animal experimental, a baixa qualidade dos estudos bem como a sua heterogeneidade indicam que a extrapolação para humanos deva ser cautelosa. No estudo experimental em modelo animal, o tratamento de superfície com Denosumab a 60 mg/mL preveniu a anquilose, a reabsorção por substituição e a reabsorção dentária, após 60 dias, comparado com o grupo sem tratamento. A coloração de Brown & Brenn evidenciou uma menor contaminação nos tecidos mineralizados quando do tratamento de superfície com Denosumab, independente da concentração utilizada. Com relação à imunohistoquímica, o tratamento com Denosumab inibiu a síntese de RANKL sem modular OPG. A Periostina foi observada no ligamento periodontal dos dentes reimplantados. Porém, essa marcação estava ausente nas áreas de anquilose, em ambos os períodos experimentais, indicando que durante o processo de anquilose a síntese de periostina é inibida, o que resulta na fusão do osso à superfície radicular. / The treatment of choise for permanent dental avulsion is replantation. However, it is known that the success of the repair after replantation depend especially the extracellular and the storage medium in which is stored the tooth. Accordingly, in order to have success after replantation is necessary that the tooth is replanted immediately and/or to be kept in a medium capable of maintaining the cell´s vitality of the root surface. If that is not possible, treatment of the radicular surface should be done in order to prevent radicular resorption. Thus, the firstly aim was to perfom a systematic review to evaluate the in vivo effectiveness of different storage media for avulsed teeth. So, the second aim of this study is to test the substance as Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody, for the topical treatment of the root surface in order to prevent dental ankylosis and replacement resorption. For this, we used 36 rat incisors rights, extracted and replanted, and divided into: group I, positive control, delayed replantation without root surface treatment; groups II and III , experimental groups, delayed replantation without root surface treatmen with Denosumab 60 mg/mL and 30 mg/mL, respectively, for 10 minutes. The canals were filling with calcium hydroxide and the teeth were replanted. After periods of 15 and 60 days of the replantation, the animals will be euthanized. Then, samples are removed and processed for microscopic analysis. Histological sections were performed, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, to describe the characteristics of the dental surface and the periodontal ligament and to measure the length of ankylosis, replacement resorption and dental resorption by conventional microscopy, and for the measure the area of periodontal ligament, by fluorescence microscopy. Sequential specimens were analyzed by Brown & Brenn, for localization of bacteria; and markek by immunohistochemistryfor RANKL, OPG and Periostin (PRT). The analysis were displayed qualitatively or quantitatively. Data were subjected to statistical analysis by oneway ANOVA and the Tukey post-test and by chi-square and Fisher\'s exact tests. The significance level was set at 5%. The systematic review does not provide enough evidence to determine the best storage medium to achieve successful tooth replantation. This systematic review has identified many storage media that have been used to preserve avulsed teeth, including coconut water, tap water, soy milk, whole milk, saline solution, saliva, propolis, physiologic saline, Euro-Collins solution, HBSS, and Viaspan®. Although this review was conducted in an experimental animal model, a poor quality of the studies as well as their heterogeneity indicates that a human extrapolation should be cautious. In the experimental study in animal model, root surface treatment with Denosumab 60 mg/mL prevented ankylosis, replacement resorption, and tooth resorption, 60 days after replantation, compared with the untreated group. Brown & Brenn staining showed a lower contamination in the mineralized tissues in the Denosumab surface treatment group, regardless of the concentration used. As for immunohistochemistry, Denosumab inhibited the synthesis of RANKL without modulating OPG. Periostin was observed in periodontal ligament of tooth replanted. However, this labeling was absent in the ankylosis areas, in both experimental periods, indicating that during the ankylosis process, the periostin synthesis is inhibited, resulting in the fusion between bone and root surface.

Para tanto, foram utilizados 36 incisivos superiores direitos de ratos submetidos à extração cirúrgica, manutenção em meio extra-alveolar seco por 60 minutos e posterior reimplante. No grupo I, controle positivo, foi realizado o reimplante tardio sem tratamento de superfície; nos grupos II e III, grupos experimentais, previamente ao reimplante tardio foi realizado o tratamento da superfície radicular com solução de Denosumab a 60 mg/mL e a 30 mg/mL, respectivamente, por 10 minutos. Os canais radiculares dos animais dos três grupos foram preenchidos com pasta à base de hidróxido de cálcio, via retrógrada, e em seguida os dentes foram reimplantados. Decorridos 15 e 60 dias do reimplante, os animais foram submetidos à eutanásia e as peças, contendo dente e osso, foram removidas para o processamento histotécnico. A seguir cortes histológicos foram realizados, corados por hematoxilina e eosina (HE), para descrição das características da superfície dentária e do ligamento periodontal e para mensuração do comprimento (perímetro) da anquilose e/ou reabsorção por substituição e das áreas de reabsorção dentária, em microscopia de luz e, para mensuração da área do ligamento periodontal, em microscopia de fluorescência. Espécimes sequenciais foram analisados por meio de coloração de Brown & Brenn modificada para identificação de micro-organismos e imunohistoquímica para identificação dos marcadores RANKL, OPG e Periostina (PRT). As análises foram realizadas de forma descritiva e quantitativa. Dados quantitativos foram submetidos à analise estatística por meio do teste paramétrico ANOVA de uma via e pós-teste de Tukey e dos testes não-paramétricos de qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, com nível de significância de 5%. Ao final da revisão sistemática da literatura pudemos concluir que não há evidência para estabelecer qual o melhor meio de conservação para dentes avulsionados. Dentre os meios que foram encontrados estão a água de coco, água da torneira, leite de soja, leite integral, solução salina, saliva, própolis, soro fisiológico, solução Euro-Collins, solução salina balanceada de Hanks (HBSS) e Viaspan®. Ainda que esta revisão tenha sido conduzida em modelo animal experimental, a baixa qualidade dos estudos bem como a sua heterogeneidade indicam que a extrapolação para humanos deva ser cautelosa. No estudo experimental em modelo animal, o tratamento de superfície com Denosumab a 60 mg/mL preveniu a anquilose, a reabsorção por substituição e a reabsorção dentária, após 60 dias, comparado com o grupo sem tratamento. A coloração de Brown & Brenn evidenciou uma menor contaminação nos tecidos mineralizados quando do tratamento de superfície com Denosumab, independente da concentração utilizada. Com relação à imunohistoquímica, o tratamento com Denosumab inibiu a síntese de RANKL sem modular OPG. A Periostina foi observada no ligamento periodontal dos dentes reimplantados. Porém, essa marcação estava ausente nas áreas de anquilose, em ambos os períodos experimentais, indicando que durante o processo de anquilose a síntese de periostina é inibida, o que resulta na fusão do osso à superfície radicular. / The treatment of choise for permanent dental avulsion is replantation. However, it is known that the success of the repair after replantation depend especially the extracellular and the storage medium in which is stored the tooth. Accordingly, in order to have success after replantation is necessary that the tooth is replanted immediately and/or to be kept in a medium capable of maintaining the cell´s vitality of the root surface. If that is not possible, treatment of the radicular surface should be done in order to prevent radicular resorption. Thus, the firstly aim was to perfom a systematic review to evaluate the in vivo effectiveness of different storage media for avulsed teeth. So, the second aim of this study is to test the substance as Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody, for the topical treatment of the root surface in order to prevent dental ankylosis and replacement resorption. For this, we used 36 rat incisors rights, extracted and replanted, and divided into: group I, positive control, delayed replantation without root surface treatment; groups II and III , experimental groups, delayed replantation without root surface treatmen with Denosumab 60 mg/mL and 30 mg/mL, respectively, for 10 minutes. The canals were filling with calcium hydroxide and the teeth were replanted. After periods of 15 and 60 days of the replantation, the animals will be euthanized. Then, samples are removed and processed for microscopic analysis. Histological sections were performed, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, to describe the characteristics of the dental surface and the periodontal ligament and to measure the length of ankylosis, replacement resorption and dental resorption by conventional microscopy, and for the measure the area of periodontal ligament, by fluorescence microscopy. Sequential specimens were analyzed by Brown & Brenn, for localization of bacteria; and markek by immunohistochemistryfor RANKL, OPG and Periostin (PRT). The analysis were displayed qualitatively or quantitatively. Data were subjected to statistical analysis by oneway ANOVA and the Tukey post-test and by chi-square and Fisher\'s exact tests. The significance level was set at 5%. The systematic review does not provide enough evidence to determine the best storage medium to achieve successful tooth replantation. This systematic review has identified many storage media that have been used to preserve avulsed teeth, including coconut water, tap water, soy milk, whole milk, saline solution, saliva, propolis, physiologic saline, Euro-Collins solution, HBSS, and Viaspan®. Although this review was conducted in an experimental animal model, a poor quality of the studies as well as their heterogeneity indicates that a human extrapolation should be cautious. In the experimental study in animal model, root surface treatment with Denosumab 60 mg/mL prevented ankylosis, replacement resorption, and tooth resorption, 60 days after replantation, compared with the untreated group. Brown & Brenn staining showed a lower contamination in the mineralized tissues in the Denosumab surface treatment group, regardless of the concentration used. As for immunohistochemistry, Denosumab inhibited the synthesis of RANKL without modulating OPG. Periostin was observed in periodontal ligament of tooth replanted. However, this labeling was absent in the ankylosis areas, in both experimental periods, indicating that during the ankylosis process, the periostin synthesis is inhibited, resulting in the fusion between bone and root surface.
