Objective To study the influence of different thicknesses and materials on the fracture resistance of inlays and the change of stress distribution, to provide experimental basis and support for restoration with inlays in clinic. Methods The standard preparation of inlay of the right lower first molar was selected, and the model was obtained by scanning. The thickness of the inlay was adjusted by software, and the metal dies were made by 3D printing. IPS e.max and Vita enamic were selected as inlay materials. Fracture resistance was tested on the inlays after bonding. CBCT data of lower right first molars of a healthy adultwas selected to carry out the digital model simulation. The stress distribution of inlay and remaining teeth with different thicknesses and materials were observed and analyzed. Results There were differences in fracture resistance among IPS e.max groups (P<0.05), and the largest fracture resistance was at 2.0 mm. There were differences among Vita enamic groups (P<0.05), and the largest fracture resistance was at 2.5mm. IPS e.max had higher fracture resistance (P<0.05) when the inlay thickness was 2.0 mm. In three-dimensional finite element analysis, the equivalent stress of IPS e.max inlays was larger than Vita enamic under the same thickness. The equivalent stress of residual enamel in IPS e.max group was lower than that of healthy teeth, while in Vita enamic group, the equivalent stress of residual enamel increased when the thickness was 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm. The peak equivalent stress of dentin restored with both materials was larger than that of intact dentin, but the peak equivalent stress of residual dentin decreased with the increase of thickness. Conclusion IPS e.max inlay with 2.0 mm has the largest fracture resistance. The fracture strength of IPS e.max is larger than that of Vita enamic and bears more stress than Vita enamic, which is more conducive to the preservation of the remaining tooth hard tissue.

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of crown to implant ratio on marginal bone loss of maxillary bone and clinical effects around short dental implants. Methods 17 implants of 12 patients were included for investigation. All implants were from the same type and had an intraosseous length of 6 mm and a diameter of 5 or 4.5 mm with 4-5 mm of the residual bone height in maxillary posterior region from January 2015 to June of 2017. Measurements of marginal bone loss were performed at a mean of 18 months after prosthetic loading and the mean follow-up for clinical evaluation was 18 months. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 7.0 software package. Results Overall a survival rate of 100%. Marginal bone loss around 17 short implants measured 0.45mm (SD: 0.07mm) and was found to have no significant correlation with calculated Crown-to-Implant ratio (r=0.19; P=0.47). Conclusions It is suggested that high crown-to-Implant ratios have no significant influence on early marginal bone loss.But high C/IR may increase the risk of inflammation of soft tissue.

Objective  To investigate the effects of free forearm flap repair on hand function in patients who had oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects. Methods Experimental subjects included 36 patients who underwent forearm free flap transfer in Stomatological Hospital of Jiangsu Province. The hand functions of patients were assessed by clinical follow-up. The experimental data of skin temperature, degree of flexion and extension of elbow and wrist joint, grip, cold sensation, heat sensation, pain and evaluation of appearance were recorded. The contralateral hands of the same patients as controls underwent the same tests. The results of the left and right sides of the same patient were further compared and paired t-test and rank-sum test were used. Result There was no significant difference in hand grip of patients but there was difference in feeling at skin graft area after flap harvest as compared with the contralateral side. Five patients had a feeling of numbness around the dorsal surface of thumb. Sensory function of the dorsal surface of left thumb in these patients was significantly different as compared with the contralateral side, while the remaining 31 patients had no significant difference. There were no significant differences in skin temperature, peripheral nail microcirculation, elbow and wrist flexion and extension degree of left hand compared with the contralateral side. Conclusion Free forearm flap transfer needs sacrificing radial artery, but the blood supply of hand can still be guaranteed by the compensatory effect of ulnar artery and the improvement of collateral circulation. It has no significant adverse effects on patient’s hand function when careful dissection is performed to avoid nerve injury during flap harvest.

Objective To compare the changes in the angulation and eruption space of the mandibular third molars in adult patients with ClassⅡmalocclusion orthodontically treated with different extraction patterns, and to discuss the effects of different therapies on the eruption of mandibular third molars. Methods 90 adult patients with ClassⅡmalocclusion were chosen, which were divided into three groups: non-extraction group (n=30); the first premolar extraction group (n=30); the second premolar retraction group (n=30). The panoramic radiographs were taken before and after treatment. The differences of the angulation and eruption space of the mandibular third molars were compared before and after treatment to predict its’ eruption. Result Compared with non-extraction group, the angulation and eruption space of mandibular third molars improved and increased significantly after treatment with the first and second premolar extraction groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the eruption space change among three groups (P<0.001). The difference of the eruption space between the non-extraction group was greater than that in the first premolar extraction group, and the first premolar extraction group was greater than that in the second premolar extraction group. The prediction of eruption of the mandibular third molar was the best in the second premolar extraction group, followed by the first premolar extraction group and then non-extraction group. Conclusion Mandibular first or second premolar extraction increases the angulation and eruption space of mandibular third molars. And the closer the third molar is to the extraction site, the more angulation and eruption space improve, the more likely it is to become erupted.

Abstract ( 388 )   PDF  
References | Related Articles | Metrics
 During the clinical implantation of implants,it is critical to form a good biological closure like “cuff” to prevent root migration of epithelial cells. Dealing with pure titanium implant surface to get a suitable surface topography is important for increasing the success rate of planting,due to the fact that the pure titanium implants themselves have no antibacterial ability. The study mainly focuses on the analysis of interface characteristics and biological width of implant-soft tissue and explores the effects of different pure titanium surface treatments on tissue biology, human gingival fibroblast morphology and proliferation activity.

Abstract:Chronic periodontitis(CP)is a kind of chronic infectious disease that occurs in the teeth-supporting tissues. Oral lichen planus(OLP)is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases in the oral mucosa. Erosive oral lichen planus is more often associated with chronic periodontitis, and periodontal local stimulation may also aggravate the symptoms of Erosive oral lichen planus. Epidemiologically,both of CP and OLP have a high incidence in the elderly population. They are also closely related to immune factors, genetic factors, microbial infection and other factors in the pathogenesis. This article will review the relationship between chronic periodontitis and oral lichen planus.
