Identification Of Hard Tissue Using Dentin Sialoprotein (Dsp) As A Marker, Wallis E. Andeline
Identification Of Hard Tissue Using Dentin Sialoprotein (Dsp) As A Marker, Wallis E. Andeline
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to identify the early hard tissue formed in experimental pulp exposures capped with calcium hydroxide, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) using dentin sialoprotein (DSP) as a marker. The pulps of eighty-five maxillary first, second and third molar teeth from twenty male rats were experimentally exposed. The exposed pulps were capped with calcium hydroxide followed by restoration with amalgam (n = 20), with MTA alone as a pulp capping agent and final restoration (n = 20) or with BMP-7 followed by restoration with MTA (n = 20). Ten teeth with Class …
Microleakage Of Various Restorative Materials Used For Preventive Resin Restorations, Jenny Chung Lee
Microleakage Of Various Restorative Materials Used For Preventive Resin Restorations, Jenny Chung Lee
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: This research was designed to compare the microleakage of various restorative materials used for preventive resin restorations and two methods of cavity preparation. The purpose of this study was: (1) to compare microleakage of four different restorative materials using two different type of preparation methods (bur and air particle abrasion) and (2) whether the use of a pit and fissure sealant over the restoration decreases microleakage.
Methods: One hundred and twenty eight, permanent human molars were randomly divided into four groups and restored with four restorative materials. Each group had been randomly divided into two subgroups. The teeth in …
