Abstract

Background: Relapse occurs frequently, 70–90% of the time, and typically compromises the outcome of orthodontic therapy. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is found in cuttlefish shells, can be used to make a better biomaterial. One example is carbonated hydroxyapatite, which is very similar to human bone tissue and can stop osteoclast activity on the pressure side of the retention phase. This is a factor in orthodontic relapse, which is when the bone doesn't remodel properly. In this study, a test was done to see if carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) could be used as an alternative material to stop orthodontic relapse. The test was based on how the RANK-RANKL, OPG, and TGF-β proteins interacted with each other. Method: CHA extracted from cuttlefish shells after 6 hours of calcination at 1000°C. RANK-RANKL, OPG, and TGF-β interactions were investigated in silico using molecular docking. Result: A cuttlefish shell extract containing CHA has the potential to be used as an alternate material to prevent orthodontic recurrence. CHA chemicals can disrupt the link between RANK and RANKL and enhance OPG and TGF-β expression. This induces enhanced proliferation, which increases the number of osteoblasts and osteoblast differentiation while decreasing the rate of osteoclast activity. Conclusion: Cuttlefish shell with CHA extract has the potential to be used as an alternative material to prevent orthodontic relapse.

Abstract

Background: The polishing procedure was an important step in composite resin restoration as it reduces restoration surface roughness. Smooth and well-polished restoration surfaces can increase microhardness and minimize discoloration on the tooth surface. The study aims to examine the differences of one-step polishing systems on surface roughness, microhardness, and color stability of bulk-fill composite resin. Method: The samples were bulk-fill composite resin moulded with 4 mm of diameter and thickness (n=30) for microhardness (n=15) and surface roughness (n=15) test and moulded with 6 mm of diameter and 4 mm of thickness for color stability (n=15) test. The samples were divided into three groups consisting of 5 samples for each variable and were polished using PoGo, OptraPol, and OneGloss. Color stability test samples were immersed in tea solution for 7 days. Color stability measurement was done by comparing the results of color measurements using a spectrophotometer before and after immersion. Microhardness was tested using Vickers Microhardness Tester, while surface roughness was tested using the Stylus Profilometer Fowler Surfcorder SE1700. Result: The data analysis showed that PoGo produced the smoothest surface roughness significantly (p=0.006), the highest microhardness significantly (p=0.002), and the lowest color change significantly (p = 0.027) Conclusion: PoGo produced lowest surface roughness and color change, and highest microhardness compare with OptraPol and OneGloss.

Abstract

Background: Discoloration of composite restorations may affecting aesthetic appearance. The aging-process and surface roughness may influence color changes. A nanofilled self-adhesive protecting coating has been developed for coating tooth restoration and expected to prolong the longevity of restoration. To evaluate the effect of nanofilled self-adhesive protective coating on the surface roughness and color-changes of flowable and packable composite after aging condition. Methods: The total of 40 discs (15x2mm) and 60 boxes (20×10× 2mm) specimens from flowable and packable composite were used. A half of the specimens was coated by using protective-coating. The reflectance chromameter was used to measure the color baseline. Afterward, the specimens were subjected into aging process by immersing in artificial saliva and carbonated drink (37oC,7d). The color changes were calculated based on the [CIE L*a*b*].For surface roughness, box-shaped specimens were measured in fresh condition, after aging conditions. Results: The color change ranged from 0.49 to 2.31. Applying protective-coating was associated with a significant decrease in the color-changes and surface roughness after aging. The changes of three color coordinates resulted in significant differences for both composite, with and without protective coating application. Conclusion: The application of protective-coating decrease the color-changes and surface roughness of flowable and packable composite-resin.

Abstract

Impacted of anterior teeth are generally treated with orthodontic treatment and exposure surgery. This treatment can be performed on anterior teeth with certain inclinations and requires a certain period of time. This case report presents an alternative treatment for impacted of lateral incisive and canine maxillary by dental replantation procedure. Dental replantation is a method of dental treatment that is often performed in dental trauma cases, especially avulsion teeth. This treatment aims to maintain natural teeth that have been lost so that they can be used according to their function. In this case report, anterior teeth of central incisive and canine maxillary had undergone previous orthodontic treatment and exposure surgery, but did not provide significant results. Dental replantation was then chosen as an alternative treatment. The odontectomy procedure was carried out previously by extracted incisive and canine maxillary completely. Treatment continued with interdental fixation using an arch bar and administration of synthetic bone grafts around the roots of lateral incisive and canine maxillary. Replantation is carried out by placing lateral incisive and canine maxillary in the space between the central incisive and premolar maxillary in an underocclusion position. Observation was carried out for 60 days and the one-year evaluation showed satisfactory results. Dental replantation can be used as an alternative treatment for impacted teeth with several requirements in order to get a good final result.
