Q

Dimensional Stability; delayed expansion in Zn containing alloys

A

Delayed expansion in Zn containing alloys resulting from moisture contamination; this contamination can occur anytime during mixing/ condensing; expansion begins 3-5 days after placement and may continue for months; can exceed 400 um/cm (4%)

caused by the electrolysis of water by Zn which releases ZnO and H2 gas; H2 collects within the mass of the restoration, increasing internal pressure enough to cause the amalgam to creep and expand; can cause pain, typically 10-12 days after placement

Q

High Cu Corrosion

A

Corrosion can occur on or within the amalgam through the interaction of dissimilar metals; corrosion can lead to increased porosity, reduced marginal integrity, loss of strength and the release of metallic products into the oral environment ; high Cu amalgam restorations are cathodic with respect to other metals within the mouth, such as Ay alloy; Galvanism can occur between these metals (a short term battery effect can be created; long term clinical significance is unknown); the accumulation of corrosion products in the micro-gap at the margin decreases microleakage over time ; consequently, post operative sensitivity can be more prolonged with high Cu amalgams

Amalgam Safety

A

The safety of amalgam restorations has been scrutinized since they were first introduced. To understand the possible side effects of dental amalgam, the differences between allergy and toxicity will be discussed

115
Q 
Amalgam Safety (Anusavice) 
Allergy
A

Allergic responses are an antigen- antibody reaction marked by itching, rash, difficulty breathing, swelling and other signs and symptoms; a small percentage of people may be allergic to mercury, just as a certain number of people are allergic to any number of metals; contact dermatitis or Coombs type IV hypersensitivity reactions are the most likely physiologic side effect to dental amalgam (these are experienced by <1% of the treated population); Lichenoid reaction (most common site: buccal mucosa immediately opposite a buccal amalgam; may occur on ventral surface of tongue adjacent to lingual amalgam; not very common- shows within a few days)

To confirm suspicion of a true hypersensitivity to dental amalgam, the patient should be evaluated by an allergist

116
Q 
Mercury Safety (Anusavice)
Toxicity
A

Fewer than 100 documentable reports of mercury allergy and toxicity attributable to dental amalgam have been published in the past 70 years in the scientific literature; the real hazard that may exist is the inhalation of mercury vapor during the mixing, placement and removal of dental amalgam personnel

117
Q

Mercury Vapor Toxicity

A

The magnitude of vapor exposure for a patient with 8-10 amalgam restorations is between 1- 4.4 ug/day; the toxicity threshold for workers in the mercury industry is 350-500 ug/day

118
Q

Mercury Blood Level Toxicity

A

Mercury blood levels in one study indicated that the average blood level for patients with amalgam restorations was 0.7 ng/mL, compared to 0.3 ng/mL for subjects with no amalgam; a Swedish study demonstrated that one saltwater seafood meal/week elevated blood mercury levels from 2.3-5.1 ng/mL

119
Q

Normal daily intake of mercury

A

15ug from food, 1 ug from air, 0.4 ug from water

120
Q

Three forms of mercury

A

Elemental Hg (released into air with fossil fuel combustion), inorganic Hg (found in the environment in combination with sulfur and oxygen), organic Hg (methylmercury found in soil and water; thimerosal, phenylmercuric acetate and other organic mercury compounds are synthesized and used as preservatives)

121
Q

Conversion of mercury

A

microorganisms in the soil and water can convert both elemental and inorganic mercury into methylmercury which can bio-accumulate in the food chain

122
Q

Methylmercury exposure over long periods of time can cause

A

Neurological disorders, fetal and infant developmental abnormalities, cerebral palsy in the developing fetus

ALL forms of mercury can have toxic effects, however ORGANIC MERCURY is often the most insidious in its nature

operatory should be well ventilated, all excess mercury including disposable capsules, should be collected and stored in well sealed containers, scrap and waste amalgam should be disposed of through reputable vendors, amalgam and mercury should not be incinerated or subject to heat sterilization, use disposable, single use pre-sealed capsules, only condense manually

125
Q

Regulation of amalgam use by government

A

There is no evidence to suggest that dental amalgam causes illness in the general population, several countries are phasing out amalgam because of ENVIRONMENTAL concerns. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden announced general bans in 2008-2009 on the use of mercury in any product including dental amalgam; Austria, Germany, Japan, and Canada have restricted the use of dental amalgam

126
Q

Copper and Cobalt- produce dark oxide

Silver- can cause “greening”

134
Q

Requirements of Ceramo- Metal Alloys

A

The alloy must have a melting temperature substantially higher (> 100C) than the firing temperature of the ceramic and the solders that may be used to join segments of the bridge. The alloy must form surface metal oxides that help create the bond between the ceramic and the metal.

The alloy must have a compatible, but slightly higher, coefficient of thermal expansion than the ceramic. This tends to keep the ceramic in compression (where it is stronger) rather than in tension. The alloy must have adequate stiffness and strength to not permanently deform under masticatory forces.

The alloy must have a high sag resistance ex. no distortion of the metal can occur during the firing of the ceramic. The alloy must create accurate castings, even with the high melting ranges of ceramo- metal alloys (more shrinkage upon cooling); preparation design is critical to allow for adequate thickness of restorative materials

135
Q

Coefficient of thermal expansion

α Phase – Hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal lattice
β Phase – Forms at temperatures above 883˚ C, body-centered cubic (BCC) form
Alloying Ti with other metals preferentially stabilizes either the α or the β phase to influence the properties of the Ti alloy

168
Q

Titanium Phase Properties

A

α- Al is an α phase stabilizer; good weldability, excellent strength characteristics, difficult to form or work at room temp

β- Vanadium, copper and palladium are β phase stabilizers; malleable at room temp, useful in orthodontics

α+β- good strength properties; difficult to weld

169

Q

Titanium in Dentistry

A

Implants (machined), Crown (computer aided machining; electric discharge machining or spark erosion cast), FDP Frameworks (Computer Aided Machining (CAM), electrical discharge machining or spark erosion cast), RPD Frameworks (computer aided machining (CAM), electrical discharge machining or spark erosion cast)

172
Q

Dental Implants

A

Machined from billets of Titanium; CP Ti, Ti-6Al-4V
A billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross section. A billet is created directly via continuous casting or extrusion, or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot (large rough casting) or blood (an ingot that has been rolled into a smaller cross sectional area)

173
Q

Ti crowns, FPD, and RPD

A

Abrasive machining (CAM) of titanium is slow and inefficient; spark erosion technology is expensive and technique sensitive; currently, technologies to cast, machine, weld and/or veneer titanium with porcelain are very technique sensitive and expensive

Consequently, our focus on titanium will be in the area of implantology. The passivating oxide on the implant surface permits close apposition of physiological fluids, proteins, and hard/soft tissues to the metal surface. The process whereby living tissue and an implant become structurally and functionally connected is called osseointegration.

174
Q

Increasing Implant Surface Area

A

Grit Blasted (metal-oxide, hydroxyapatite particles) plasma sprayed with Ti, coated with hydroxyapatite

175
Q

Wrought

A

Beaten out or shaped by hammering, “cold worked”, the work done to the alloy is usually at a temperature significantly below the solidus line; worked and adapted into prefabricated forms for use in dental applications (precision attachments, backings for artificial teeth, wire in various cross sectional shapes)

176
Q

wrought wires

A

Can be soldered to an existing RPD framework. They can be cast to a new RPD framework.

177
Q

wrought forms

A

Wrought forms have a fibrous microstructure that results from the cold work applied during the operations that shapes the metal.

This cold work increases both tensile strength and hardness.

Prolonged heating of wrought forms can cause them to recrystallize and develop a grain structure similar to their cast form.

Recrystallization adversely affects the mechanical properties. Severe recrystallization can cause wrought forms to become brittle. Heating operations must be minimized when working with wrought forms.

Corrosion resistant, hardenable by heat treatment, magnetic, high hardness, high strength, high wear resistance, 11.5-18% Cr, No Ni*, is a very brittle crystalline structure of C and Fe that is the main constituent of hardened steel. Named after the German metallurgist, Adolf Martens (1850-1914)

188
Q

Ferritic Steel

A

More corrosion resistant than Martensitic, but less than Austenitic; non hardenable by either heat or work, can be cold-worked, can be softened by annealing; magnetic, 10-20% Cr, no Ni*, Ferrite (Fe2O3) or ferric oxide, or rust, is a type of ceramic compound; name is a derivation of ferrous or ferric, “having to do with iron”

189
Q

Austenitic steel

A

Ferritic Steel (Cr-Co)- dental instruments, some dental equipment parts

Martensitic steel (Cr-Co) Dental instruments, ortho appliances

Austenitic Steel ( Cr- Ni*)- stayplate/flipper claps, ortho wires

The last 2 are the most common wrought wires used in dentistry today

192
Q

Cementation Objectives

A

Objectives of cementation or luting are to help maintain restoration in place, maintain integrity of remaining tooth structure

193
Q

Cementation retention

A

Retention is achieved by: friction, adhesive joint, the cement, the restoration, or both mechanisms

194
Q

Cementation

A

an effective interfacial seal depends on the ability of the cement to fill the irregularities between the tooth and the restoration and to resist the oral environment short and long term

Strong bond between the luting agent and dental substrates is also important because it can prevent infiltration of bacteria and fluids that can cause caries and sensitivity to the patient

195
Q

Bonding to other substrates

A

Cast alloys, ceramics, indirect (lab) composites, amalgam, fiber posts, repair of composite, ceramic, and ceramic- metal restorations

196
Q

A

According to the length of time that they are expected to stay in function

provisional (low strength and easy handling, no irritate pulp) such as Zinc oxide and non-eugenol cements and calcium hydroxide pastes

Definitive (remain in function for the longest time possible, must have sufficient properties)

197
Q

Classification of Luting Agents according to setting

A

Acid based reaction: GI, RMG, zinc oxide- eugenol, zinc polycarboxylate, and zinc phosphate

setting by polymerization: resin cements, compomers, and self- adhesive cements

198
Q

Some materials that are capable of creating a chemical interaction with hydroxyapatite are

A

zinc polycarboxylate, Gi, RMG, Self adhesive resin cements

199
Q

Minimal invasive dentistry

A

“preservation of a healthy set of natural teeth for each patient should be the objective of every dentist”; all work in the health field is aimed basically at conservation of the human body and it’s function

200
Q

Tooth Adhesion Steps

A

Adhesives- dentin morphology and physiology, adhesive systems, adhesive dentistry (case reports)

201
Q

A

Micromechanical retention (dentin, adhesive resin tags, composite resin restoratives)

202
Q

Buonocore 1955

A

Finding in 1955 that acid etching of the enamel increases the bond strength of resin to enamel; The practice of bonding to enamel has become a routine procedure in many fields of dentistry

203
Q

Enamel etching vs Dentin etching

A

surface not even- better mechanical retention

204
Q

Evidence Based

A

Approximately 1/2 of all restorations placed in general dental practice are done to replace a defective or failed restoration; the reasons that restorations are replaced may be divided into 3 major categories: clinical factors (technique), material properties (will surface withstand stress ex. bruxism), and patient factors (want a white filling)

205
Q

Dental adhesion challenges

A

morphology, physiology, smear layer, saliva, structure of tubules

206
Q

Adhesive dentistry- closer look at Dentin

A

Dentinal tubule (large)–> peritubular dentin (around tubule) –> intertubular dentin (around peritubular)

207
Q

Composition of dentin

A

50% mineralized apatite crystals, 20% water, 30% organic matrix (collagen fibrils)

208
Q

Superficial vs Deep dentin

A

water content varies from superficial to deep dentin (diameter and number of tubules increase near pulp, 20,000 tubules/mm2 at DEJ vs 45,000 tubules/mm2 close to pulp)

superficial dentin hybrid layer is a form of intertubular resin infiltration while deep dentin hybrid layers are mainly composed of resin tag formation (an example of intratubular permeation; peritubular dentin matrix below the depth of acid etching)

209
Q

Sclerotic and caries- affected dentin

A

hypermineralized (like a scar- protecting pulp), tubules occluded with CaPO4 crystals, acid resistant (etching won’t occur easily- must use phosphoric acid with higher %)

210
Q

Wet vs Moist vs dry dentin

A

collagen fibers susceptible to collapse upon over- drying

keep dentin moist when restoring or else collagen network will collapse- cross linking will not occur- keep dentin moist for good bonding

Changes in the matrix when dentin is decalcified with phosphoric acid
1. mineralized dentin matrix 2. demineralized dentin matrix filled with water (plasticized) 3. collapsed stiffened air dried demineralized dentin matrix 4. demineralized dentin matrix stiffened by organic solvents in air

211
Q

The “overwet phenomenon”

A

producing bubbles- PG won’t infiltrate tubules properly

*look at slide 25

212

213
Q

*Hybrid

A

A thing made by combining 2 different elements (a mixture)

ex. a car with gasoline engine and an electric motor each of which propel it

214
Q

Dr. Nakabayashi about hybrid layer

A

“the structure formed in hard dental tissues by demineralization of the surface and subsurface, followed by infiltration of monomers and subsequent polymerization”

remove smear layer, add primer (all adhesives have 3 types of solvents acetone, ethanol, water)
- adhesive (monomer- any polymer that is liquid; once cured it’s a polymer) solvent helps primer penetrate; air dry; apply adhesive, then cure (hybrid layer is formed)
different adhesives- have dif. solvents

215
Q

Adhesive systems

A

“understanding the anatomy and physiology of dentin has been critical to the development of high- performance dentin bonding systems”

utilize A/Phys of dentin for max bond strength; resin monomers infiltrating demineralized dentin

(denting exposed to phosphoric acid- resin tag open use morphology of substrate to your advantage)

216
Q

Composition of dentin adhesives

A

primer (allows penetration; hydrophilic monomer (HEMA), water soluble solvent- water, acetone, ethanol)

adhesive (unfilled or lightly filled resin [Bis-GMA])

228
Q

Etch and rinse or total etch:

A

3 steps (etching, priming, and bonding) vs 2 steps (etching and primer and bond mixed in one bottle)

etching is 30-40% phosphoric acid (conditioners) to demineralized tooth structure

primers are hydrophilic monomers, oligomers, or polymers, usually carried in a solvent (acetone, ethanol, or water)

229
Q

A

two step system with a hydrophobic bonding resin in a separate bottle; all in one system; ester monomers with grafted carboxylic or phosphate acid groups dissolved in water

230
Q

bonding agents

A

most bonding agents are light-cured and contain an activator such as camphorquinone and an organic amine; dual-cured bonding agents include a catalyst to promote self-curing; some bonding agents contain: nanofiller, fluoride (glass ionomers), antimicrobial ingredients, or desensitizers (glutaraldehyde_

231
Q

In-vitro evaluation of bond performance

A

by far, the most important mechanical property is bond strength among in- vitro research

232
Q

biocompatibility

A

solvents and monomers in bonding agents are usually skin irritants (HEMA can produce local and systemic reactions to dentists and dental assistants (gloves, mask, high speed suction, keep bottles closed and unit dose system)

233
Q

Clinical performance

A

longevity of bond in general practice may be only 40% of that achieved in clinical trials because don’t follow instructions, clinical studies are highly controlled; 95% of secondary caries associated with resin composites is in the interproximal areas (hard to clean [patient], clinician [ don’t use all tools needed, don’t do increments of 2 mm- tend to fail]; clinical performance can be evaluated by (postoperative sensitivity, interfacial staining, secondary caries, retention or fracture followed for 18 months)

234
Q

enamel bonding

A

bonding to enamel occurs by micromechanical* retention after etching

bonding penetrates the etched surface and becomes locked into place after polymerization occurs

235
Q

composition of dention

A

50% mineralized apatite crystals, 20% water, 30% organic matrix (collagen fibrils)

236
Q

dentin bonding

A

primers (hydrophilic components such as HEMA [wet dentin and penetrate its structure]); total etch or etch and rinse systems (phosphoric acid removes the mineral creating microsporosites within the collagen network); after etching step, the dentin contains about 50% unfilled space and about 20% remaining water, after acid is rinsed, drying of dentin must be done cautiously

237
Q

dentin bonding

A

Dehydration of the dentin outer surface will cause that the remaining collagen scaffold to collapse onto itself then the collagen mesh will exclude the penetration of primer and bonding will fail. excess of moisture tends to dilute the primer and interfere with resin interpenetration; ideal dentin moisture levels varies according to the solvent present in the adhesive

238
Q

dentin bonding

A

resin composite (RC), hybridization, hybrid layer (HL) resin tags (RT)

239
Q

Hybrid layer

A

the structure formed in hard dental tissue by demineralized of the surface and subsurface followed by infiltration of monomers and subsequent polymerization

240
Q

durability

A

durability is one of the most challenging problems of adhesive/dentin bonds

241
Q

Case 1- Congenitally Missing (Agenesis) Lateral Incisors

A

shade match after vital bleaching, conservative preparation, bonded indirect resin FPD [splint- acrylic- gets hard and cement- cemented with resin cement and adhesive ]

242
Q

Case 2- traumatic injury

A

8 year old male, basketball incident in which patient fell to floor, fracturing #8,9; patient had been to one dentist prior to arrival at office, dentist placed dycal and instructed patient to leave teeth alone [calcium hydroxide deep base- due to exposure of pulp want to create dentin bridge]

diagnostic aids- periapical x-ray revealed large pulp chambers, no apparent periapical pathology at this time, apices were open and still developing, father had saved fractured pieces 8,9

Pumice teeth, clean, and gently dry; applied self etching primer, dry to remove solvent (water), adhesive placed and gently dried, light cured for 10 sec, flowable composite placed on fractured surface of tooth (use flowable because mechanical properties in anteriors are not as high), also placed on lingual surface, primer and adhesive placed on surface of fractured piece and light cured prior to placement, 8 was re attached and light cured, flowable composite placed on #9, adhesive placed on fractured piece and tried in, #9 bonded to place, acid etched enamel surfaces, additional composite placed, bonding complete, prior to contouring, contoured facial surfaces and polished with Sof- Lex,

243
Q

Principles of Adhesion

A

A strong, durable, and bonded interface with enamel and dentin provides benefits. protects the interface of the restorations against penetration of bacteria and fluids that can cause recurrent or secondary caries. Reduces the need of retentive areas in the prep that would required removal of sound tooth structure. Sometimes strengthen the remaining tooth structure.

it is very difficult to achieve chemical bonding between tooth structure and a restorative material because of the complex composition of some substrates such as dentin, presence of contaminants and water.

in daily practice, adhesion is accomplished by micromechanical interlocking between the adhesive and tooth substrate.

Aspects to create an adhesive joint: cleanliness of the surface (biofilm, debris, saliva) and smear layer

These contaminants will reduce the surface energy of the bonding substrate and its wettability

244
Q

dental implant

A

generally speaking, anything inserted into the mandible or maxilla designed to take the place of a tooth; have been in use at least 2,300 years; modern implants usually take the form of a self tapping titanium screw or post; millions of dental implants are placed annually worldwide [better than bridgework and crowns]

245
Q

endosseous implants

A

most common, sits inside bone (post, screws)
crew post into bone- build restoration on top; typical system;

Have blade, screw, cylinder: blade not very effective; will mostly see screws (modern- thread into bone) vs cylinder

246
Q

subperiosteal

A

much rarer, were used in cases of atrophic bone/ sit atop bone

sit like a saddle on top; rarer because mass recession around implant- high failure rate

247
Q

transosteal

A

quite uncommon, higher failure rates. post transverses the entire mandible, not used on the maxilla.

disadvantage: operation to place is quite brutal

248
Q

alveolar bone structure

A

alveolar process: ridge on surface of mandible/maxilla where teeth are

basal bone: bone underlying the alveolar process

alveolar bone proper and supporting alveolar bone

249
Q

Alveolar bone proper

A

compact bone (cribiform plate, lamina dura)

cribiform- plate with a lot of bones; radio opaque that surrounds tooth; lines tooth socket

250
Q

supporting alveolar bone

A

both compact and trabecular bone.

cortical plates (compact bone component), central spongiosa (trabecular bone component) surrounds both sides, supports plates

251
Q

Alveolar bone structure

A

loading via mastication critical for maintaining bone density; loss of alveolar bone in edentulous patients [ no loading= no alveolar ridge, only basal bone] ; patient selection/site preparation critical for high success rate of dental implants

  • must build up bone to place implant; may have other sources that impair healing ex. Diabetes ; if can’t heal things properly or quickly will be a major challenge

Success rates are high PROVIDED THAT patients are selected well- can’t be patients that won’t change their lifestyles ex. Smokers, diabetics that don’t manage diabetes, etc.

252
Q

Osseointegration

A

deposition of bone in close apposition to implant surface (really by oxide layer); clearly a highly desirable process, mediated by mesenchymal progenitor cells; provides mechanical stability of implant and tight seal [preventing inflammation, want good healing]

Vs biointegration (direct apposition to ceramic- bone can attach directly to ceramic surface- ceramic and titanium becomes weak spot)
Oxide layer- increases biocompatibility –
Will always see a gap between bone and titanium oxide
Survive repeated cyclical loading is the main goal of teeth
Implant anchored well to bone

253
Q

osseointegration continued

A

wound healing (space management); extraction of tooth= hole; hole fills with a clot, which is then converted to a highly cellular granulation tissue; epithelial invasion vs bone regeneration; osteoblast differentiation and bone deposition (osseointegration)

Wound- void in tissue
Wound managing- restoring integrity of compartments
Blood is key component of wound healing- managing compartments
Osteoblasts- build bone/mesenchymal; osteoclasts- break down/hematopoietic; together make mature bone
Don’t want epithelial cells to prevent this process of bone formation- things tend to turn into what they are next to (bone growth factors are released) DON’T want epithelial ingrowth- will never get CT forming (“preparing integrity of compartment” - but don’t want it”

GT- granulation tissue (want it to give rise to tissue that you want –>new bone)
9 week- almost full closure- osseointegration is occurring

254
Q

Recruitment of Cells

A

Stro-1, osteoblast- progenitor associated marker, F4/80, macrophage marker, TGFB1, growth factor, Osteopontin, non collagenous matrix protein

Initial inflammation must resolve- drives osseointegration

255
Q

Fibrous Encapsulation

A

Formation of fibrous tissue (collagen) around implant; bad news for mechanical anchoring; can result from peri-implantitis brought on by a number of factors, but often problems/delays in osseointegration= microbial infiltration or poor stability after placement

If inflammation does NOT resolve- Fibrous collagenous sac around implant- bone will not lay down; will be lose and will come out; not mechanically stable

256
Q

Mechanical forces acting on implants

A

tensile, compressive, and shear forces all brought to bear on implants; up to 1250N reported[ 1 N = force required to move 1 kilo at 1m/s^2] due to forces involved: material properties and integration of implants are critical

bite force especially strong by hinge

257
Q

Mechanical forces and ceramics

A

bone must experience strain or it will resorb; ceramics tend to be quite stiff and don’t transfer adequate strain to surrounding bone, resulting in “stress shielding”

elastic modulus: too high= lower transfer of force to bone= lower bone loading

258
Q

Mechanical forces and titanium

A

Titanium somewhat more elastic and transfers some strain to surrounding bone thus an implant material must be structurally sound but also must have mechanical properties which are physiologically compatible

259
Q

mechanical forces acting on implants and bone

A

bone is strongest when compressed, weaker under tensile forces, and weakest when subjected to shear

The bone- implant interface therefore is critical when considering mechanical loading of implants

bone in apposition to smooth implants is subjected to almost total shear when the implant is loaded and less surface area for attachment

260
Q

mechanical forces and texture

A

Adding texture (ex threads) engage bone in compression where it is strongest; interlocking also provides much better transfer of load to bone (less resorption) and increased surface area for attachment

261
Q

mechanical forces and alteration in length/width

A

alterations in the length and width of implants also have implications for implant loading

increasing length: increase surface area of attachment= decreased stress on bone. Minimal advantage however as most force transfer happens at the upper part of an osseointegration implant (also anatomy and heating- loner it is, the more heating)

increasing width: increased surface area for attachment= decreased stress on bone. Implant stiffness increases, leading to stress shielding of bone

There is an optimal range for these parameters. Implants can be too long/short, or too narrow/wide

262
Q

Implant surface modification

A

Titanium is the most common material employed in dental implants: CP Ti or Ti-6Al-4V alloy

has a number of excellent properties: elastic modulus lower (flexes more, avoid stress shielding)than ceramic but compared to rubber band (higher) ; strength, immune inert (non immunogenic), low corrosion (passivation- continual presence of a passive oxide layer), biocompatible (non- toxic)

Ti can be simply modified:
alterations in oxide layer (oxide layer is mainly what biological systems interact with [can make thicker and improve compatibility] ), coatings (biomemtic or ceramic), roughening/etching (grit blasting or acid etching)

surface modification generally has the aim of either enhancing osseointegration by osteoblast differentiation/migration, improving the mechanical interlocking with bone tissue, providing better loading characteristics (ex. threads)

optimal surface still unclear

263
Q

implant surface topography modification

A

machined, Ti Grit Blasted HF Etched, Tri- Calcium Phosphate Sputter Coated (smooth surface –> roughened–> coated)

alteration of surface topography can have an impact on the biology of attached cells (smoother surfaces have rounder cells; rougher surfaces have different cells)

264
Q

Implant surface chemistry modification

A

generally refers to increasing oxide layer; TiO2 forms the stable oxide layer, Oxide layer generally biologically favorable (protein absorption), modifications such as hydroxylation increase hydrophilicity (wettability); anodization used to increase oxide layer thickness

increase affinity to blood which increases management

265
Q

Implant surface chemistry modification- coating

A

many coatings are also applied to implants; ceramic and glass coating (hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate/bioglass)- bioactive, although only as strong as the metal- ceramic interface

ceramic coating is the weak point [metal- ceramic interface, bone-ceramic interface]

coating with short peptide sequences to increase cell attachment: integrins, RGD cell attachment sequences, collagen, fibrin

coating with growth factors associated with wound healing such as TGFB1, FGF-2, VEGF, PDGF. [doesn’t work; optimal healing comes with exposure of all of these at the same time but not just one]

266
Q

patient selection and challenges

A

endosseous implants have a 7 year survival rate of around 95% (because of soft tissue); this is however due to careful patient selection. die to the requirements for rapid osseointegration, patient selection is critical; must have good bone around site to anchor implant during loading (many edentulous patients have atrophied bone), must not (challenge) be compromised in terms of bone healing (diabetes, immune compromised patients can pose problems depending on how compliant they are), implants have a very high success rate, the next clinical challenge is developing implants which can be placed in complex or difficult clinical situations

Q

Tissue Engineering/ bioactive materials**

A

tissue engineering is a discipline which seeks to encourage the restoration of function and structure to a pre-injury state; bioactive materials (materials which are designed to drive repair/regeneration through the use of bioactive factors)

traditionally 3 components in tissue engineering: relevant cell source, biomaterial or scaffold[ what you implant cells in], bioactive component to drive cell responses

268
Q

**Autograft

A

implanted material derived from the same individual as the implant is to be delivered into

269
Q

**allograft

A

implanted material derived from another individual of the same species

270
Q

**xenograft

A

implanted material derived from another species

271
Q

**alloplast

A

implanted material is not derived from a living source or is “synthetic” very broad category

272
Q

**dental pulp progenitor cells

A

population of mesenchymal progenitors resident in the dental pulp, derive from the neural crest; huge topic in dental pulp biology (focus of both cellular and a cellular approach to tissue engineering); can theoretically differentiate to regenerate vasculature, mineralized tissue, soft tissue, or possibly even nerves; represents a capacity of the tooth for self repair ( or other tissues- SHED banking)

Steady state turnover –> Quiescent niches –> trauma response (by stimulatory signals) –> Reparative dentine

273
Q

** Cellular vs Acellular approaches

A

addition material containing cells vs application of materials to existing tissues; tissues need cells to regenerate, but many contain cells containing the necessary cells (ex. a capacity to self repair)

there are advantages and disadvantages to each

soft tissue: periodontal ligament, dental pulp, oral mucosa, skin
hard tissue: bone, dentin, cementum

Ex. root canal OR cells + scaffold OR scaffold +native tissue
If want to regenerate pulp; needs progenitor cells (cell source)
Acellular approach- leave native tissue and then add bioactive material

274
Q

Isolation of dental pulp progenitor cells (DPPCs)

A

practical difficulties (relatively low cell number- possibly around 1% of cells)

practical difficulties (lack of single specific marker to ID cells; generally a panel used)

Gold standard( 1. population doubling over long periods in culture 2. multipotency: ability to differentiate in various lineages ( adipose, endothelial, chondro- osteo-)

DPPCs are adherent cells ex. they attach to tissue culture plastic, but so are many other cells found in the pulp

They typically express high levels of the α5β1 integrin receptor, which binds fibronectin: fibronectin adhesion isolation

adherent–> tissue culture
non-adherent –> disposal

Cells age- senescent (mesenchyme become senescent much slower; divide longer than the more differentiated cell)

275
Q

Biomaterials

A

There are a huge number of potential ‘biomaterials’, both synthetic and naturally occuring

multiple challenges to overcome in oral tissue regeneration: microbial infection, inflammation, regeneration

Through tissue engineering, it may be possible to manipulate the innate capacity of oral tissue to encourage repair or perhaps regeneration

new bioactive materials= more options for practitioners= improved outcomes for patients

276
Q

biomimetric

A

biomimetric= mimicry of tissues/processes/structures that are ‘biological’
