Effizienz niedrig- und hochkonzentrierter Fluoridpräparate zur Erosionsprophylaxe am humanen Schmelz / Efficacy of high and low concentrated fluoride agents in protecting human enamel against erosions

Jensch, Claudia 22 August 2013 (has links)
Das Studienziel war die Ermittlung der Effizienz von niedrig- bzw. hochkonzentrierten Fluoridpräparaten zum Schutz des Zahnschmelzes gegen Demineralisationen bzw. Erosionen. Es wurde das diagnostische Verfahren der quantitativen lichtinduzierten Fluoreszenz (QLF) angewandt, mit dem sich anhand der Eigenfluoreszenz des Schmelzes Demineralisationsveränderungen im Sinne einer Erosion noninvasiv quantifizieren lassen. Die Effizienz niedrigkonzentrierter Präparate wie Fluor Protector Gel (Gruppe A; 1450 ppm; IvoclarVivadent AG Schaan, Liechtenstein), Tooth Mousse Plus Gel (Gruppe B; 900ppm; GC Deutschland, München, Deutschland), Colgate Total Zahnpasta (Gruppe C; 1450ppm; Colgate-Palmolive, Hamburg, Deutschland) und einem hochkonzentrierten Präparat (Gruppe D; 12500 ppm; Elmex gelée; GABA Lörrach, Deutschland), sowie einer nicht behandelten Kontrollgruppe (Gruppe E) wurde in einem standardisierten, objektiven in-vitro-Aufbau miteinander verglichen. Eine Simulation nahrungsaufnahmebedingter Säureangriffe erfolgte durch das Aufbringen von 0,05 M Zitronensäure (pH=2,3; 6x/Tag) mit zwischenzeitlicher Lagerung in künstlichem Speichel. QLF-Messungen erfolgten zur Baseline (t0), sowie nach 3 Tagen (t1), 7 Tagen (t2), 14 Tagen (t3) und 30 Tagen (t4): Die erfassten Daten wurden nachfolgend analysiert: Für den globalen Vergleich der fünf Gruppen (A-E), als auch separat für jeden Zeitpunkt (Baseline und t(1)-t(4) wurde der Kruskal-Wallis-Test (α=5%) angewandt. Um herauszufinden, zwischen welchen Untersuchungszeitpunkten sich signifikante Unterschiede im Fluoreszenzverlust zeigen, wurden paarweise Vergleiche der Untersuchungszeitpunkte t(1)-t(4) mit der Baseline (t0) mittels Wilcoxon-Test innerhalb der fünf Behandlungsgruppen herangezogen. Es wurde ein Paarvergleich zwischen den Gruppen bzw. zwischen den Zeitpunkten mit dem Mann-Whitney-U-Test durchgeführt. Die Messwerte der erodierten Prüfkörper wurden als durchschnittlicher Fluoreszenzverlust (∆F) erfasst. Aus dem analysierten Fluoreszenzverlust (∆F) geht hervor, dass alle hier getesteten fluoridhaltigen Präparate unabhängig von der Höhe der Fluoridkonzentration eine ähnlich effiziente Schutzwirkung der Zahnhartsubstanz gegen Erosionen im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe besitzen: Es ist nach 30 Versuchstagen (t1-t4) kein signifikanter Unterschied innerhalb der einzelnen Fluoridgruppen ersichtlich. Eine signifikante Veränderung im Sinne einer Erosion war nur in der nicht fluoridierten Kontrollgruppe E zu verzeichnen. Schlussfolgernd ist an unfluoridiertem Zahnschmelz bereits innerhalb von zwei Wochen eine Demineralisation im Sinne einer Erosion zu erwarten. Eine Schutzwirkung kann sowohl durch die tägliche lokale Applikation von niedrigkonzentrierten Zahnpasten als auch durch die wöchentliche Anwendung eines hochkonzentrierten Fluoridpräparates erzielt werden,.

Two Generational Study on the Effect of Different Levels of Fluoride on Rat Bone and Teeth

Upadhyay, Madhav Prasad 01 May 1977 (has links)
The effects of different levels of fluoride in drinking water on different parameters of femurs and incisors of female rats were studied. Rats and their offspring, before and after weaning, were used for the study. Mother rats received 0, 1 and 5 ppm fluoride in drinking water. After weaning, the offspring were given the following treatments: 0-0, 0-1, 0-5, 1-0, 1-1, 1-5, 5-0, 5-1 and 5-5; the first number indicating fluoride level of mother's water during mating, pregnancy and lactation and the second number indicating the fluoride level of water given to the offspring. Femurs and top and bottom incisors were collected from mother rats, 21 day old pups and 300g. body weight pups. Femurs were analysed for ash, calcium, phosphorus and fluoride content and breaking strength. Only fluoride analyses were done on incisors. Fluoride ion electrodes (Orion models 94-09 and 96-09) were used for fluoride analysis. Mother rats that received 1 and 5 ppm of fluoride showed on increase in fluoride content of teeth. There was no increase in the fluoride content of weanling rat teeth suggesting that there was no maternal transfer of fluoride to the offspring. A significant increase in fluoride content of femur and teeth of all the groups of 300g. offspring, that received 1 and 5 ppm of fluoride, was observed as compared to the control group (0-0). No significant differences in other femur parameters of 300 g. offspring were observed. Significant differences in fluoride content of femurs and incisors of 300g. rat offspring were found due to pre and post-weaning fluoride treatments. Combined pre and post-weaning fluoride administration resulted in higher fluoride content of femurs and incisors. At the levels used in this study, pre-weaning fluoride administration alone does not appear to affect the fluoride content of bone and teeth of the rat offspring, but fluoride, when given ofter weaning does contribute to the increased fluoride content of bone and teeth.

Biodegradation Potential of Perfluorooctanoate and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate

Thelakkat Kochunarayanan, Parvathy 2011 August 1900 (has links)
Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are two environmentally persistent perfluorinated compounds widely used for many industrial and consumer products due to their high thermal, oxidative resistance and surface repellence to water and oil. Their reproductive and developmental toxicity in lab animals and their persistence in environment have raised a serious concern for humans and animals. Trace amounts of these compounds have been found in water bodies, human blood, and wildlife samples. PFOA and PFOS are currently listed in Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water Contaminant Candidate List and in the list of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Stockholm Convention. The strong covalent bond between carbon and fluorine present in PFOA and PFOS makes them stable and resistant to conventional treatment processes. Several advanced chemical processes can degrade PFOA and PFOS under high temperatures and pressures or other extreme conditions. However, the potential of biodegradation as a treatment technology for these compounds hasn't been developed successfully. This thesis focuses on evaluating the biodegradation potential of PFOA and PFOS. Fluoroacetate dehalogenase is an enzyme capable of defluorinating fluorinated aliphatic compounds. In this study, the potential of fluoroacetate dehalogenaseexpressing microorganisms to biodegrade PFOA and PFOS is examined. Two known fluoroacetate dehalogenase-expressing strains and fluoroacetate-degrading mixed cultures were used. The effect of ammonia in the enzyme activity was extended to study its effect on the biodegradation of PFOA and PFOS. Fluoride ions released during the mineralization of the PFOA and PFOS was used as a proof of biodegradation. The experiments with fluoroacetate dehalogenase-expressing strains and mixed culture consortia enriched from soil showed an increase in fluoride concentration in the solution thus indicating the possibility of successful biodegradation of PFOA and PFOS. Based on the fluoride ion content, it was also concluded that ammonia inhibits the enzyme activity in one of the two pure strains.
