Purpose: This retrospective study was performed to assess the clinical and radiographic success rates of a non-vital formocresol and zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) primary molar root canal therapy (RCT) technique. The effects of this treatment on the permanent successors and on exfoliation times were also investigated. Methods: The study included 161 patients with 211 primary molars treated by RCT by a single operator in a private pediatric dental office in the Toronto area. Results: A clinical success rate of 90.0% and a radiographic success rate of 77.3% were obtained. Enamel defects were found in 6.8% of permanent successors and in patients who were significantly younger at the time of root canal therapy treatment (p = .001). Treated molars exfoliated on average 5.8 months sooner than contralateral teeth (p<0.001). Conclusions: Formocresol and ZOE RCT is a viable treatment for necrotic primary molars and yielded very high clinical success rates with moderate radiographic success rates.

Foram selecionados 21 terceiros molares recém extraídos e isentos de cárie. A parte da coroa dental correspondente ao esmalte foi removida expondo-se toda superfície dentinária. Os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em sete grupos experimentais de acordo com o cimento provisório e o método de limpeza dentinária utilizado: (G1-controle) não recebeu restauração provisória nem limpeza dentinária; (G2) cimentação provisória com Life e limpeza com pasta de pedra-pomes; (G3) cimentação provisória com Life (Kerr) e limpeza com jato abrasivo; (G4) nenhum procedimento de limpeza foi executado após cimentação com Life; (G5) cimentação provisória com Temp Bond e limpeza com pasta de pedra-pomes; (G6) cimentação provisória com Temp Bond (Kerr) e limpeza com jato abrasivo e (G7) nenhum procedimento de limpeza foi executado após cimentação com Temp Bond. Após uma semana de armazenamento em água, restaurações de Solidex (Shofu) foram cimentadas com adesivo Single Bond (3M ESPE) e cimento Rely X ARC (3M ESPE). Todos os produtos foram manipulados de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. Os dentes foram seccionados obtendo-se espécimes de 1,0 mm2 para realização de teste de microtração. Os valores obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey. Os resultados indicaram que o grupo contaminado com hidróxido de cálcio sem realização da limpeza dentinária apresentou os menores valores de resistência e foi estatisticamente diferente do grupo onde não houve contaminação. Qualquer dos cimentos e métodos de limpeza utilizados obteve as maiores médias de resistência, porém sem diferenças significativas entre elas. / Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of provisional cements and dentin cleaning methods on the adhesion of resin bonded indirect restorations. Flat dentin surfaces were produced cutting extracted human molars. The teeth were divided randomly in seven experimental groups according with the provisional cement and the used dentin cleaning method: (G1- control) no provisional restoration and no dentin cleaning; (G2) pumice-water slurry cleaning after cementation with Life (Kerr); (G3) aluminum oxide sandblasting after cementation with Life; (G4) no cleaning procedure after Life cementation; (G5) pumice-water slurry cleaning after cementation with Temp Bond (Kerr); (G6) aluminum oxide sandblasting after cementation with Temp Bond and (G7) no cleaning procedure after Temp Bond cementation. After one week of storing in water, Solidex indirect restorations (Shofu) were cemented with Single Bond adhesive system (3M ESPE) and Rely X ARC cement (3M ESPE). All products were handled according with manufacturer's instructions. The teeth were sectioned resulting in adhesion area of 1,0 mm2 specimens for microtencile tests. The resulted values were submitted to variance analysis and Tukey's test. These values indicated the group which was contaminated with calcium hydroxide cement and had no dentin cleaning presented the lowest bond strength and was statistically different from the group with no contamination. Any of the used cements and cleaning methods got the highest means of bond strength, but with no relevant differences among them. With these results can be concluded that, after the treatment with provisional cements, the absence of dentin cleaning implies in lower bond strength values. / Doutor

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / INTRODUCTION: New sealers have been placed on the market to improve the property of a hermetic seal within the root canal and decrease the gap between the gutta-percha and dentin wall. Differences in the adhesive properties of endodontic sealers may be expected because their interaction with either dentin or gutta-percha may vary with their chemical composition. No specific interaction either with dentin or gutta-percha is expected from the setting reaction of calcium hydroxide based sealers and the epoxy-based sealers. The setting reaction of the zinc oxide-eugenol mixtures is a chelation reaction occurring with the zinc ion of the zinc oxide. Development and maintenance of the seal are essential to optimize the long-term success rate of root canal treatment. An ideal endodontic sealer should, in part, adhere firmly both to dentin and gutta-percha. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sealing properties of EndoSequence BC sealer TM ,a bioceramic sealer, and Roth’s sealer using gutta-percha with warm vertical condensation and using the single cone technique with the EndoSequence BC sealer only. The goal is to see if there is a significant difference in microleakage between teeth sealed with the bioceramic sealer and teeth sealed with Roth’s sealer. MATERIALS & METHODS: Eighty-five single-rooted maxillary anterior teeth were used for this study. Endodontic cleaning and shaping of each root canal system was accomplished using K-type hand files and NiTi Rotary files. Group A consisted of twenty-seven anterior teeth, which were obturated using EndoSequence BC sealer and gutta-percha with System B and Obtura. Another twenty-seven anterior teeth, Group B, was obturated using Roth’s sealer and gutta-percha with System B and Obtura. A final group, Group C with 27 teeth was obturated using the single cone technique by means of a single gutta-percha point with Endosequence BC sealer. Two teeth were used as a positive control group, and two other teeth as a negative control group. A microbial leakage apparatus was constructed using a similar two-chamber method described by Torabinejad et al. E. faecalis ATCC 29212 was the test bacteria which was used in this study to determine microleakage The outcome of interest (bacterial turbidity) and time-to-leakage (in days), will be determined for each of the samples. Survival analysis will be used to compare the two groups, with a Kaplan-Meier plot to visualize the results and a nonparametric log-rank test for the group comparison RESULTS: No microleakage was observed in the negative control or group B. Microleakage was observed in all the positive control. Group A and C had a significantly higher proportion of samples with microleakage than group B (p<0.0001), but group A and C were not significantly different from each other (p=0.50). Time to microleakage was also significantly lower in group A and C than group B (p<0.0001), but group A and C were not significantly different from each other (p=0.37). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, using E. faecalis as our test bacteria, the microleakage of canals obturated with gutta percha and Roth's sealer was significantly less than canals obturated with gutta percha and EndoSequence BC sealer.

Na primeira etapa, in vitro, foram utilizados 10 prémolares que foram cortados para obtenção de corpos de prova. Posteriormente, foram divididos em dois grupos de 5 elementos e expostos a condicionamento ácido. O grupo Teste sofreu aplicação de uma camada de cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol sobre a dentina exposta, enquanto o grupo Controle não sofreu aplicação desta camada. Após período de armazenamento de 7 dias, o grupo teste teve sua camada de cimento removida. Ambos os grupos foram visualizados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura para avaliação quanto às aberturas dos túbulos dentinários. Já na etapa in vivo, foram utilizados 36 elementos dentários de pacientes portadores de hipersensibilidade dentinária diagnosticados a partir de estímulos de jato de ar e a dor mensurada através de uma Escala de Avaliação Numérica. Utilizouse o esquema de “boca dividida”, onde o lado teste foi tratado com cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol; enquanto o lado Controle foi tratado com dentifrício contendo nitrato de potássio a 5% e fluoreto de sódio). Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise estatística através de Teste paramétrico t de student pareado. Os resultados mostraram que o cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol foi eficaz no tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária, apresentando resultado superior ao dentifrício contendo 5% de nitrato de potássio após 7 dias (68,52% de melhora do quadro doloroso contra 11,06% respectivamente, sendo está diferença estatisticamente significamente ƥ<0,001). Acredita-se que o resultado alcançado deveu-se, pelo menos em parte, à obliteração parcial dos túbulos dentinários visualizada através microscopia eletrônica de varredura. / This study evaluated the effect of cement zinc oxide and eugenol in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. In the first step, in vitro, 10 premolars were used which were cut to obtain specimens. Subsequently, they were divided into two groups of five elements and exposed to acid etching. The test group underwent application of a cement layer of zinc oxide and eugenol on dentine, while the control group did not suffer this application layer. After a storage period of seven days, the test group had its layer of cement removed. Both groups were seen in scanning electron microscopy for evaluation as to the openings of dentinal tubules. Already in the in vivo, 36 elements were used in dental patients with dentine hypersensitivity diagnosed from stimuli of air jet and pain measured using a Numerical Rating Scale. Scheme of "split mouth" was used, where the test side was treated with cement and zinc oxide eugenol, whereas the control side was treated with dentifrice containing potassium nitrate and 5% sodium fluoride). The collected data were statistically analyzed by parametric Student's t test paired. The results showed that the cement zinc oxide and eugenol was effective in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity, giving a result above the dentifrice containing 5% potassium nitrate after 7 days (68.52% improvement of pain against 11.06% respectively, being statistically significantly ƥ <0.001). It is believed that the result achieved was due, at least in part to the partial obliteration of dentinal tubules viewed by scanning electron microscopy.

Blood constituents labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) are used in nuclear medicine. The aim of this work was to study the effects of Clove (Caryophyllus aromaticas L.) and OZE (preparation used in the Health Sciences) on the labeling blood constituents with 99mTc and on the morphologic red blood cells (RBC) and the action of an extract of tomato (TO) on the labeling of blood constituents Blood samples were incubated with clove or OZE or TO, stannous chloride and 99mTc. Plasma (P), blood cells (BC), insoluble fractions (IF) of plasma and blood cells were separated. The radioactivity was counted and percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) to each blood fraction was calculated. The shape and morphometric parameter (perimeter/area ratio) were evaluated in the studies with clove and OZE. Clove extract and OZE altered significantly (p<0.05) the %ATI of blood constituents and the shape of red blood cells. However, clove extract not altered the red blood cells perimeter/area ratio. The tomato extract used at the highest concentrations reduced significantly (p<0.05) the %ATI in IF-P, although this extract did not modify the radiolabeling on BC, neither the radioactivity fixation on IFBC. The results indicate that these chemical compounds would have oxidative/chelating actions / Existe um grande interesse na avalia??o dos efeitos biol?gicos de produtos naturais e sint?ticos. Constituintes sang??neos marcados com tecn?cio-99m (99mTc) s?o usados em medicina nuclear. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar os efeitos do Cravo da ?ndia (Caryophyllus aromaticus L.) e do ?xido de Zinco Eugenol (OZE) (prepara??o usada em Ci?ncias da Sa?de) na marca??o de constituintes sang??neos com 99mTc e na morfologia de c?lulas vermelhas do sangue (CVS) e a a??o de um extrato de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum) (TO) na marca??o de constituintes sang??neos. Amostras de sangue foram incubadas com cravo da ?ndia ou OZE ou TO, cloreto estanoso e 99mTc. Plasma (P), c?lulas sangu?neas (CS), fra??es insol?veis (IFP) do plasma e das c?lulas sang??neas (IFC) foram separadas. A radioatividade foi contada e o percentual de radioatividade (%ATI) para cada fra??o sang??nea foi calculada. A forma e o par?metro morfom?trico (rela??o per?metro/?rea) foram avaliados nos estudos com o cravo da ?ndia e OZE. Os extratos de cravo da ?ndia e OZE alteraram significativamente (p<0,05) a %ATI dos constituintes sang??neos e a forma das CVS. Entretanto, o cravo da ?ndia n?o foi capaz de modificar a rela??o per?metro/?rea das CVS. O extrato do tomate usado na sua maior concentra??o reduziu significativamente (p<0,05) a %ATI na IF-P, embora esse extrato n?o tenha modificado a radiomarca??o na CS, nem a fixa??o de radioatividade na IF-CS. Os resultados indicam que esses compostos qu?micos poderiam ter a??es oxidativa e/ou quelante. O estudo tem car?ter multidisciplinar com a participa??o das seguintes ?reas do conhecimento: Radiobiologia, Bot?nica,Fitoterapia e Hematologia
