【Abstract】Objective the purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of calcuim and phosphate ions releasing from calcium phosphate cement after immediatly immersed and the affect of cell proliferation of RAW264.7 by CPC extraction. Methods CPC specimens were immersed in DMEM for 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 1d, 2d, 3d. The medium was refreshed at each timepoint. The concentration of calcium and phosphate ions releasing from CPC were detected by resultsinductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry,ICP-OES. RAW264.7 were cultured in DMEM medium(group B) and DMEM medium+CPC specimens(group CPC) respectively, the proliferation capacity of RAW264.7 were affected by CPC tested with MTT method. Results In DMEM immersing groups, all the concentrations of calcium in medium-refreshed group were higher than these in medium-without-refreshed group(P<0.05) after refreshed the medium. The concentration of phosphate got a peak value 4.380±0.019mmol/L at 1h in medium-refreshed group. After that, the precipitation amount decreased obviously, and the 2h phosphate concentration was 1.944±0.109 mmol/L (P<0.05). The calcium increased slowly at the beginning, reaching the peak concentration of 1.590±0.064mmol/L at 6h, then decreased gradually.The cell proliferation of group CPC reached its nadir which was 67.23% at 1d, but the peak point was 95.93% at 7d. Conclusion The group CPC immersed in DMEM can provide a theoretical base for experiments of CPC extraction in vitro. Proliferation of RAW264.7 wasn't affected evidently by CPC.

Objective: This study evaluates a new collagen-based synthetic degradable barrier membrane for use in guided bone regeneration. Methods: A new collagen/HA-collagen degradable barrier membrane were embedded in Bama pigs mandibular bone and Bio-gide@ membrane served as reference materials. In Bama pigs, three standardized 8mm×8mm defect was created in mandibular bone. Three groups (collagen/HA-collagen,Bio-gide@, no membrane) were evaluated at 4 weeks. New bone formation was demonstrated by histological analysis. Results: In the Bio-gide@ and collagen/HA-collagen groups, the defects were left incompleted new formed bone filling. In contrast to uncovered mandibular defects, substantial bone healing was observed in defects covered with a barrier membrane. In the non membrane covered case, the formation of bone was unformed in 4 weeks. There were new formed bone under the Bio-gide@ and collagen/HA-collagen membranes. The amount of new bone formed under the Bio-gide@ membranes were more than the amount of bone formed under the collagen membranes. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the collagen/HA-collagen membrane was well suited for use in guided bone regeneration.

Objective: To explore the influence on micro leakage from root tip and tooth root’s bending strength by different combinations of root canal preparation and filling technology. Methods: 186 extracted teeth were selected and randomly divided into 6 experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F group, 30 teeth per group) and positive, negative control group (G, H group, 3 teeth per group). Group A, B, C were given root canal preparation by step-down technique, and group D, E, F were given step-back technique. Subsequently, BeeFillTM 2in1 teeth filling system was used in group A and D to fill root canal, and group B and E were given Cortisomol paste with warm gutta percha fill with vertical compression method, yet group G and H were not given any filling. The dye penetration method was used to measure root tip’s micro leakage, and tooth root’s bending strength was also measured in each group. Results: With the same filling method, the dye penetration lengths of group A, B, C were all less than those of group D, E, F respectively(t=3.29~4.66,P<0.05), and group A, B, C’s maximum compressive loads were higher than those of group D, E, F respectively(t=3.11~4.50,P<0.05). With the same preparation methods, dye penetration length in group A was less than that of group B and C(t=3.32~4.77,P<0.05),and dye penetration length of group D was less than that of group E and F group(t=3.17~4.35,P<0.05).Group A,B,C’s maximum compressive load decreased successively(F=5.13,P<0.05),and group D,E, F’s maximum compressive load also decreased (F=4.87,P<0.05),yet there was no statistical difference in maximum compressive load between group G and H(t=0.00,P>0.05). Conclusions: The use of root canal preparation with step-down technique, and BeeFillTM 2in1 teeth filling system can effectively reduce micro leakage from root tip and improve tooth root’s bending strength, which has reference value for selection of root canal preparation and filling techniques.

Objective To analyze the method of ORIF for different types of mandibular condyle fracture. Methods From January 2011 to March 2014, 46 adult patients with condyle fractures of the mandible were studied. ALL the patients undergone the ORIF of mandibular condyle fractures and were followed up weekly for 3 weeks and then at 2, 3 and 6 months after surgery. The patients accepted CBCT examination 1 week and 3months after operation. Clinical examinations including mouth opening, deviation on mouth opening, occlusion, function of facial nerves, frey syndrome, screw loosing and salivary fistula were conducted. And the satisfaction degree of the patients was checked. Result No screw loosing salivary fistula and frey syndrome were found in the follow-up patients; facial nerve dysfunction was found in 7 patients (23.91%) all in condyle head and subcondyle fracture group. Facial nerve dysfunction in condyle neck group was significantly lower than the other two groups(p<0.05).Mmouth opening outcome in all groups significantly improved over time after surgery(p<0.05).Of the 46 condyle fractures that were associated with deviation on mouth opening were those of condyle head fracture 11 (23.91%), followed by subcondyle fracture 5 (10.87%) and condyle neck fracture 4 (8.70%). 37 of 46 patients expressed high satisfaction degree for the treatment. Conclusion Appropriate incisions, fixation methods and operations should be chosen for different types of mandibular condyle fractures. For condyle head fracture, it will be better to be fixed with titanium screws and the lateral pterygiod muscle should be remain attached to the fractured medial segment. The patients got good mouth opening and occlusion and gave high satisfy degree for the treatment..

Objective: To describe the radiographic features of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and to determine whether any tooth was more frequently associated with this disease. Methods: 500 CBCT scans were classified as normal sinus, maxillary sinusitis of an odontogenic origin, maxillary sinusitis of a non-odontogenic origin and maxillary sinusitis of an undetermined origin. Result: Sinusitis of odontogenic origin was recognized if it met the following criteria: carious tooth, tooth with defective restoration, or extraction site with or without radiographically periapical lesion and mucosal thickening limited to the area of the tooth or extraction site in question. 124 maxillary sinusitis with possible odongenic origin were detected, which accounted for 48.6% of all the maxillary sinusitis. Maxillary first molar was most likely to be frequently associated with odontogenic sinusitis. In sinuses in which the thickening was more than 2mm, the mean mucosal thickening was 6.11±4.43mm Conclusion: Among patients with maxillary sinusitis, nearly half of the cases appear to be associated with odontogenic pathology. Maxillary first molar is the most likely to cause odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The use of CBCT scans can provide the accurate anatomic structure of maxillary sinus and the changes in it.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different Insertion torque values on implant stability and osseointegration by using the means of Resonance Frequency Analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 49 patients were chosen randomly according to the following standards, with 86 screws implanted. Furthermore, the same experienced clinician finished all surgeries. All implants were divided into three groups based on the insertion torque values: Group A, Itv0~15Ncm; Group B,Itv20~40Ncm;Group C,Itv>40Ncm. The dental implant stability was measured to evaluate the osteointegration by Resonance frequency analysis when implants were placed immediately and at the time point of 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the surgeries. RESULTS: 1.Compared with the ISQ measured immediately after the surgery, all the values of ISQ at the time points of 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the surgeries were higher. 2.The ISQ at the 8 week time point of Group A showed the most obvious increase; while there was no significant difference among the three groups. 3.The ISQ values showed no significant difference between the 8-week time point and the 12-week time point in all three groups. Conclusion: The 8-week time point is a critical time for implants healing to develop a high- quality osseointegration. What is more, there was no obvious difference that has been observed of the osseointegration at the 8-week time point when ISQ changed among the groups.
