Blood Pressure Monitoring Following Individual Carpules Of Anesthetic Utilizing Computer-Controlled Anesthetic Delivery, Kristi M. Soileau, Adam E. Degenova, Qingzhao Yu

School of Dentistry Faculty Publications

To date, no study has evaluated blood pressure following administration of each carpule given for dental procedures using a computerized dental anesthesia system. Blood pressures taken prior to performing invasive periodontal procedures were compared with those readings measured following delivery of each of up to three consecutive carpules of Marcaine or Xylocaine in varying order. Pressure differences were also adjusted for age, sex, race, and whether a prescribed anxiolytic was taken beforehand. Neither systolic nor diastolic blood pressures changed significantly as compared to initial blood pressure readings. However, compared with Whites, Hispanics, and Middle Easterners, Blacks had significantly higher systolic …

Plga-Coated Drug-Loaded Nanotubes Anodically Grown On Nitinol, F. Davoodian, E. Salahinejad, E. Sharifi, Z. Barabadi, Lobat Tayebi

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

This study evaluates the use of nanotubes (NTs) as a matrix for local drug delivery modified by a biodegradable polymeric coating on medical-grade nitinol (NiTi alloy) surfaces. For this purpose, NiTi was anodized within parameters that promote the formation of NTs, ultrasonicated, annealed and impregnated with vancomycin hydrochloride. To improve bioperformance, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was also deposited on the drug-loaded NTs. The samples were characterized in terms of structure, wettability, drug delivery, corrosion and cytocompatibility. Scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle measurements signify the formation of open-top homogeneous NTs of 600– 700 nm in length and ~30 nm in …

Nano-Hydroxyapatite And Nano-Hydroxyapatite/Zinc Oxide Scaffold For Bone Tissue Engineering Application, Fatemeh Heidari, Reza Bazargan-Lari, Mehdi Razavi, Farahnaz Fahimipour, Daryoosh Vashaee, Lobat Tayebi

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

This research aims to evaluate the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and degradation behavior of scaffolds made of pure hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA‐modified by ZnO for bone tissue engineering applications. HA and ZnO were developed using sol‐gel and precipitation methods respectively. The scaffolds properties were characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic absorption (AA), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The interaction of scaffold with cells was assessed using in vitro cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays. The obtained results indicate that the HA/ZnO scaffolds possess higher …

Correlation Between Root Surface Strain And Apical Micro-Cracks Produced During Canal Preparation With Thermally Treated Single Or Multi-File Niti Systems, Shehabeldin Mohamed Saber Prof.Dr.

Dentistry

Aim: To determine the apical root surface strain (RSS) generated during shaping with thermally treated file NiTi systems, and its association with the development of apical microcracks. Methodology: Twenty extracted human mandibular molars with severely curved mesial roots having two separate canals were prepared using XP-Endo Shaper files (Group A: XPS in mesio-buccal canals) and Hyflex CM files (Group B: HCM in mesio-lingual canals). Pre-instrumentation images of apical surface of each root were obtained with Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM). Root surface strain (RSS) generated during canal preparation was measured as micro-strain (ìstrain) using electrical strain gauges fixed on apical …

Antibacterial Potential Of Nano-Particulate Intracanal Medications On A Mature E. Faecalis Biofilm In An Ex Vivo Model, Shehabeldin Mohamed Saber Prof.Dr.

Dentistry

Aim: To investigate and compare the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of Chlorhexidine Digluconate functionalized Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles and silver Nanoparticles as intracanal medicaments on a mature E. faecalis biofilm model in root canals of extracted teeth. Methodology: Sixty-eight human maxillary central incisors were mechanically prepared, sterilized, infected with E. faecalis, and then incubated for 28 days under anaerobic conditions to develop a mature E. faecalis biofilm. Eight teeth were used to monitor biofilm formation and maturation over the incubation period with field emission scanning electron microscopy (Fe SEM), while the other 60 teeth were divided into two experimental groups (n=20) in …

Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization Studies, Azza Tagelsir Ahmed, Brian D. Hodgson, E. Angeles Martinez-Mier

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

The problem of demarcated hypomineralization defects of the permanent first molars (molar-incisor hypomineralization [MIH]) has been an emerging issue for oral health professionals around the globe. Yet, the first set of US-based epidemiologic data on MIH took as long as 2 decades from the time when MIH was first described by Weerheijm and colleagues.¹ In response to the June JADA article titled “Prevalence of Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization and Other Enamel Defects and Associated Sociodemographic Determinants in Indiana,” (Tagelsir Ahmed A, Soto-Rojas AE, Dean JA, Eckert GJ, Martinez-Mier EA, JADA. 2020;151[7]: 491-501), we attempt to highlight some of the challenges encountered …

A New Phantom To Evaluate The Tissue Dissolution Ability Of Endodontic Irrigants And Activating Devices, Kimia Khoshroo, Brinda Shah, Alexander Johnson, John Baeten, Katherine Barry, Mohammadreza Tahiri, Mohamed Ibrahim, Lobat Tayebi

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

Abstract

Objective

The aim of this study was to introduce a gelatin/bovine serum albumin (BSA) tissue standard, which provides dissolution properties identical to those of biological tissues. Further, the study evaluated whether the utilization of endodontic activating devices led to enhanced phantom dissolution rates.

Materials and Methods

Bovine pulp tissue was obtained to determine a benchmark of tissue dissolution. The surface area and mass of samples were held constant while the ratio of gelatin and BSA were varied, ranging from 7.5% to 10% gelatin and 5% BSA. Each sample was placed in an individual test tube that was filled with …

UBT International Conference

The effect of dentine etching time with H 3 PO 4 37% (20 and 60 sec) and composite polymerization duration (60 and 180 sec) on the shear bond strengths to dentin was evaluated in vitro. Dentine was treated with H 3 PO 4 37% in duration of 20 and 60 sec, before (Syntac ® ) was applied. The composite was polymerized for 60 and 180 sec. Data were analyzed with Anova and Tuckey test. Mean values for the first group (etching 20 sec / polymerization 60 sec) were 63.8 ± 3.7 N, for the second group (E 60 sec / …

Comparative Evaluation Of Piezotome Versus Periotome Extractions Of Non- Restorable Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Randomized Clinical Trial, Lydia Melek, Marwa G. Noureldin

Future Dental Journal

Aim: The study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of piezotome versus periotome extractions of non-re- storable endodontically treated teeth in relation to prevention of marginal bone loss, operating time of the procedure, and postoperative sequalae. Methods: Forty-two patients with age range of 30–55 years requiring extraction of maxillary single rooted teeth that failed endodontically were randomly divided into two equal groups, a piezotome group and a periotome group. Clinical assessment was performed through measuring the marginal bone loss, time taken for extraction, postoperative pain and any complications related to the extraction procedure. The data was recorded then analyzed using …
