Objective To study the effect of saline storage solution with different concentrations on carbon accumulation of pure titanium surface. Methods The pure titanium samples were prepared through grinding and polishing step by step using SiC sandpapers. After cleaning and drying, samples were respectively stored in air, double distilled water, 0.45 % NaCl, 0.9 % NaCl and 10 % NaCl solutions for two weeks. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical contact angle instrument and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to compare and analyze surface micro-morphology, contact angle, surface energy and chemical element composition of titanium samples under different storage conditions. Results SEM observation showed that the titanium surfaces in the control group (air, double distilled water) were relatively clean, whereas sodium chloride crystals scattered on the titanium surfaces in three saline storage solution experimental groups. However, no obvious differences in the micro-morphology of titanium surfaces were observed among different groups. After titanium samples were stored with salt solutions, their surface contact angle decreased while surface energy increased, indicating that the hydrophilicity enhanced. XPS analysis demonstrated that the carbon content on titanium surfaces of the saline storage solution experimental groups decreased significantly compared with the control group, and the higher the concentration of the saline storage solution was, the less the carbon content was. Conclusion Saline storage solution can reduce carbon accumulation on the titanium surface, maintain its hydrophilicity, and have superior anti-aging effect.

ABSTRACT: Objective To investigate the effects of naringin (NRG) on the proliferation and expression of inflammatory factors of human periodontal ligament fibroblast (HPDLF) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: HPDLF was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100 μg?mL-1). The protective effect of NRG on LPS induced HPDLF injury was detected by MTT assay. The effects of NRG on the expression of IL-6, IL-8, IL?1β and other inflammatory factors in LPS-induced HPDLF were detected by ELISA and Western blotting. The effects of NRG on the expression of IL-6, IL-8 and IL?1β in LPS-induced HPDLF were also detected by Real-time PCR. Results: The proliferation of HPDLF was inhibited by LPS (100 μg?mL-1). Compared with the CON group, the survival rate of cells in LPS group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Different concentrations of NRG (40, 20, 10 μg?mL-1) could significantly inhibit LPS-induced HPDLF injury and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in cells. (P<0.05). Compared with LSP group, the survival rate of HPDLF in LPS+NRG 40 μg?mL-1 group, LPS+NRG 20 μg?mL-1 group, LPS+NRG 10 μg?mL-1 group was significantly increased, and the expression levels of inflammatory factors such as IL 6, IL-8, IL?1β were significantly decreased, with significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: NRG has protective effect on LPS-induced HPDLF injury, and can promote the proliferation of HPDLF cells by inhibiting the expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL?1β and other inflammatory factors in LPS-induced HPDLF.

Objective  To study the expression of adiponectin receptor mRNA in the human gingival fibroblasts(HGFs) of healthy subjects and the effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha,(TNF-α), Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.g.)lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adiponectin(APN )on the expression of adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and adiponectin receptor 2 (AdipoR2) mRNA in HGFs to investigate the correlation between the factors related to periodontitis and the expression of adiponectin receptors and. Methods  The HGFs were cultured in vitro by tissue-adherent method, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) to detect the expression of adiponectin receptors, and the cells were randomly divided into 4 groups, stimulated with TNF-α50ng/ml ,P.g LPS 0.1mg/ml ,APN 1μg/ml, and a blank control (10% FBS medium) respectively ,lasting for 24 hours, then using real time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) to detect the expression of adiponectin receptor (AdipoR1, AdipoR2) mRNA in HGFs at different time points (0, 0.5, 12, 24h). Results  RT-PCR showed that HGFs expressed both AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, in which AdipoR2 bands had a higher luminance than AdipoR1, and TNF-a decreased AdipoR2 mRNA expression (p<0.05) in HGFs compared with the blank control group, P.g LPS and APN significantly raised the expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNA (p<0.05).Conclusions  Adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1, AdipoR2) are both expressed in human gingival fibroblasts, and primarily the AdipoR2. In the condition of periodontal inflammation, the expression of adiponectin receptor decreased, therefore the effect of adiponectin decreased, auxiliary APN receptor agonist and other local drug treatment for the control of inflammation is of great significant to prevent aggravating the disease.

Objective  To evaluate the accuracy of linear measurements of dental implants obtained from digital periapical radiographs (DPR) by the paralleling and bisecting-angle technique, and provide references for DPR in peri-implant bone tissue assessment. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with 210 implants were divided into two groups randomly: paralleling technique group (80 patients with 98 implants) and bisecting-angle technique group (80 patients with 112 implants). DPRs were taken after implant placement immediately and the diameter and length of implants on DPRs were measured using SOPRO Imaging 2.20 software by blind method. Then the measurements were compared with the actual size of the implants. SPSS software was used to conduct t-tests to obtain the level of significance. And the accuracy of two measurement methods was evaluated. Results In the paralleling group, the mean differences between measurements and actual values were 0.14±0.10mm in diameter and 0.20±0.15mm in length, with the magnification of 1.58% in horizontal direction and 2.13% in vertical direction. In the bisecting-angle group, the mean differences were 0.37±0.22mm in diameter and 1.04±0.47mm in length, while the horizontal and vertical magnification were 3.90% and 10.65% respectively. Paralleling DPR showed a better accuracy than bisecting-angle DPR in measuring the diameter and length of implants (P<0.05). Conclusion Paralleling DPR can obtain a more precise measurement of the diameter and length of the implants, which may be considered as a clinically reliable radiographic examination for implant treatment.

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the appropriate inserting position, direction and depth of immediate implantation for mandibular first molar, by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which provides a basis for preoperative digital design and clinical operation. Methods 100 CBCT images of patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected. Measuring the width of alveolar bone, buccal and lingual bone plate and interradicular septum in mandibular first molar position, analyzing its relationship with mandibular nerve canal and lingual bone concavity. Then performing the statistical analysis. Results From the mesial to the distal side, the width of the alveolar bone and the buccal bone plate gradually increased, and the width of the lingual bone plate gradually decreased. From the coronal to apical direction, the width of the interradicular septum gradually increased, with a maximum width of (5.00±1.42) mm. The distances from the mandibular nerve canal to the mesial apex, the distal apex, the distal-lingual apex and the interradicular septum are respectively (7.47±2.38) mm, (7.19±2.49) mm, (9.59±1.94) mm and (15.90±2.39) mm. From the mesial to the distal side, the maximum distances from the mandibular nerve canal to the buccal and lingual cortical bone surfaces are (6.46±1.23) mm and (2.53±0.84) mm. The angle of the mandibular lingual bone concavity is (149.67±8.30)° , and the depth of the concavity is (1.51±0.43) mm. Conclusions Before the immediate implantation of the mandibular first molar region, it is necessary to design the inserting path using CBCT images, keeping a safe distance from the mandibular nerve canal and the lingual bone concavity. If the safe distance between the apex and the mandibular nerve canal is adequate, the interradicular septum is a suitable position for implanting. Otherwise, the implant can be placed in a mesial-lingual side and inclined slightly lingually.

The posterior maxilla region is always regarded as the complicated area for dental implant because of insufficient bone volume. The frequently used method for solving this problem is maxillary sinus floor augmentation, which includes transalveolar osteotome technique and lateral window technique. Transcrestal sinus floor augmentation is widely applied because of simple operation, reduced trauma, short healing time and less postoperative discomfort. It is often accompanied by utilizing bone grafting material simultaneously in the early stage. However, transalveolar osteotome technique without bone grafting material has been recommended in recent years on account of the risk of infection, low absorption rate of bone substitutes, and the maxillary sinus re-pneumatization. Many studies have been done on transcrestal sinus floor augmentation with or without grafting material in recent years. This paper reviews the progress on the research of transcrestal sinus elevation with or without grafting material.
