Objective To explore the influence of the primer containing two different phosphate monomers, MDP and PENTA, on the adhesion between zirconia ceramics and resin in alkaline environment for different times. Methods Two primers were prepared, containing two phosphate monomers, MDP and PENTA, adding a certain amount of sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH value of 9, and the group without alkaline solution was taken as a positive control. The above primers were placed for 2 h, 1 week and 4 weeks, then they were used to treat zirconia ceramics to measure its shear bond strength (SBS) with resin. The zirconia ceramics powder was treated with different primers placed for different times, and then tested by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) to analyze the surface chemical bond changes. Results Any phosphate ester monomer combined with alkaline solution can lead to the decrease of the value of SBS between zirconia and resin. There was no significant difference in shear bonding strength between zirconia and resin treated by primers containing two phosphate monomers (P>0.05). The longer the storage time was, the lower the bonding strength was (P<0.05). Conclusion Application of phosphate monomers mixed with alkaline solution negatively affects the bonding strength between zirconia and resin.

Objective To study the osteogenic differentiation potential of dental follicle stem cell (DFSCs) in virto and the effects of miR335 on the osteogenic differentiation potential of DFSCs. Methods DFSCs were purified through in vitro culture combined with bidirectional differential method. After osteogenesis induction, the osteogenic differentiation potential was determined by alizarin red staining. miR335 expression was analyzed by qRTPCR. Western blot and PCR were used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation potential of DFSCs after transient transinfection of miR335 mimics or inhibitor. Results DFSCs cultured by bidirectional differential method had osteogenesis ability. miR335 expression in DFSCs was lower than that in osteogenic induced DFSCs. The osteogenic differentiation potential of DFSCs was reduced by miR335 mimics, while promoted by miR335 inhibitor. Conclusion miR335 in virto may have a negative effect on the ostegenic differentiation of DFSCs.

Objective  To investigate the mechanism of JNK signaling in the formation of mature osteoclasts during tooth eruption in rats by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway with the specific inhibitor SP600125. Methods SD rat dental follicle cells were isolated and cultured. Different concentrations of SP600125 were used to pretreat cells. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expressions of nuclear factor κB receptor activator ligand and osteoprotegerin gene in DFCs. DFCs and BMMs established a co-culture system and TRAP staining was used to observe the amount of OC. Results SP600125 had no significant effect on the proliferation of DFCs under the concentration range of 20 μmol/L (P>0.05). RT-PCR results showed that after 72 hours of SP600125 intervention, the expression of RANKL gene decreased while that of OPG increased. There were statistical differences compared with the control group (P<0.05). Positive TRAP staining results showed that OC was generated in each group, and the number of OC generated on the 9th day significantly increased compared to the 7th day. The number of osteoclasts decreased in the inhibitor group under different concentrations, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion This study clarifies that in rat tooth eruption, SP600125 in some degree inhibits the formation of OC by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway, which can provide a researh basis for the study of tooth eruption, alveolar bone remodeling and other osteoclast-related oral diseases.

Objective  To investigate the autophagy-induction effect of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) on human dental mesenchymal cells (DMCs). Methods DMCs were obtained from freshly extracted healthy premolars and third molars from patients (15–22 years old) with orthodontic and preventive teeth extraction. Cells of the 4th-6th generations were treated by different concentrations of HEMA for different periods. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assessment after treated with HEMA (0,2,4,6,8,10,12 mmol/L) for 12, 24, 48 h. Cell phenotype change was detected by Phalloidin staining. AO staining was used to observe the vesicular organelles in DMCs. Western blot assessment was applied to detected the protein expressions of Beclin1, Atg5 and LC3II. Results The cell viability decreased with HEMA treatment in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The cell phenotype was changed by HEMA treatment. Increasing numbers of vesicular organelles were observed in the cytoplasm of HEMA-treated DMCs. The protein expressions of Beclin1, Atg5 and LC3II were elevated by HEMA treatment in DMCs in dose-dependent manner. Conclusion HEMA greatly enhances the autophagy induction in a dose –dependent manner, which contributes to the cytotoxicity in DMCs. Its mechanism is associated with the increase of cell autophagy activation levels.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical curative effects of Er:YAG laser on the treatment of peri-implantitis, hoping to be of help to the clinical treatment of peri-implantitis in the future. Methods 20 patients with peri-implantitis were randomly recruited and grouped after meeting the inclusion and the exclusion criteria. They were divided into conventional scaling treatment group and laser irradiation treatment group. Periodontal clinical indicators were recorded before treatment (baseline level), 3 months after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. All of the indicators included modified plaque index (mPLI), bleeding on probing (BOP), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD),attachment level (ALP). All of the indicators were measured and averaged at 6 sites of each implant: the mesial side, the buccal center, the distal mesothelial side, the mesial lingual side, the lingual center, and the distal lingual side. A periodontal probe (PCP 12) was used for all examinations. Results At the baseline level, clinical periodontal parameters were similar between the experimental group and the control group, and there was no significant difference after statistical analysis (P>0.05). At 3 months after treatment, all clinical periodontal indicators were reduced compared with baseline levels, and the rate of the decrease of the laser irradiation treatment group was bigger than the conventional scaling treatment group, and the decrease was statistically significant (P<0.05). At 6 months after treatment, the overall clinical periodontal indexes were still below the baseline, but compared with the results at 3 months after treatment, except the lower BOP, the other periodontal indexes had a little bit of increase. Conclusion All the tested clinical periodontal indexes of patients with peri-implantitis can be improved by the treatment of conventional scaling and laser irradiation. And the laser irradiation treatment has more obvious, but less stable effects. However, this improvement may just be short-term, and the long-term efficacy may depend on a long-term observation and follow-up of larger samples.
