AI Article Synopsis

  • Testing the biocompatibility of dental materials is crucial and this study focused on four specific materials: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Biodentine, Harvard BioCal-CAP, and Oxford ActiveCal PC.
  • The evaluation used zebrafish embryos and larvae to assess survivability, hatching rates, and apoptosis through various toxicity tests.
  • Results indicated that higher concentrations of these materials negatively affected survival and hatching, with Biodentine and Oxford ActiveCal PC showing better biocompatibility than Mineral Trioxide Aggregate.

Article Abstract

Testing the biocompatibility of commercially available dental materials is a major challenge in dental material science. In the present study, the biocompatibility of four commercially available dental materials Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Biodentine, Harvard BioCal-CAP and Oxford ActiveCal PC was investigated. The biocompatibility analysis was performed on zebrafish embryos and larvae using standard toxicity tests such as survivability and hatching rates. Comparative toxicity analysis of toxicity was performed by measuring apoptosis using acridine orange dye and whole mount immunofluorescence methods on zebrafish larvae exposed to the dental materials at different dilutions. Toxicity analysis showed a significant decrease in survival and hatching rates with increasing concentration of exposed materials. The results of the apoptosis assay with acridine orange showed greater biocompatibility of Biodentine, Oxford ActiveCal PC, Harvard BioCal-CAP and Biodentine compared to MTA, which was concentration dependent. Consequently, this study has shown that showed resin-modified calcium silicates are more biocompatible than traditional calcium silicates.

Self -reported bruxism in patients undergoing Orthodontic treatment - a cross-sectional study.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Surgery, Program Director Orthodontics Residency Program, Section of Dentistry, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Stadium Road, P.O Box 3500, Karachi, 74800, Pakistan.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves manipulation of tooth position that can temporarily lead to occlusal interferences capable of inducing bruxism. The objectives of this study were to determine the self-reported incidence of bruxism and its association with factors such as facial type, divergence, skeletal and dental malocclusions in orthodontic patients.

Materials And Methods: 80 patients who underwent a minimum of six months of orthodontic treatment were surveyed using a validated self-reported bruxism questionnaire for the presence or absence of bruxism.

Endo 180 participates in collagen remodeling of the periodontal ligament during orthodontic tooth movement.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Orthodontics, Central Laboratory, Hospital for Stomatology & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases & National Engineering Research Center of Oral Biomaterials and Digital Medical Devices & Beijing Key Laboratory of Digital Stomatology & Research Center of Engineering and Technology for Computerized Dentistry Ministry of Health & NMPA Key Laboratory for Dental Materials & National Engineering Research Center of Oral Biomaterials and Digital Medical Devices, Peking University School, 22th Zhongguancun South Ave, Beijing, 100081, China.

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) relies on the remodeling of periodontal tissues, including the periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone. Collagen remodeling plays a crucial role during this process, allowing for the necessary changes in the PDL's structure and function. Endo180, an urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein, is a transmembrane receptor regulated collagen remodeling.

Introduction: Simulation is an educational tool for developing the technical and nontechnical skills of dental students. To optimize learning in simulations, students must be immersed in a high-fidelity environment and emotionally engaged, as is the case in clinical practice. The primary objective of this study was to assess emotions during simulation training and in clinical practice.
