  Direct pulp capping with a hydroxyapatite ceramic in rat molars induced the formation of reparative dentin in the exposure sites after 2 weeks. In addition, foci of acute and chronic pulpitis wereDirect pulp capping with a hydroxyapatite ceramic in rat molars induced the formation of reparative dentin in the exposure sites after 2 weeks. In addition, foci of acute and chronic pulpitis were detected. After 6-8 weeks of application of the material partial or total necrosis occurred. The use of hydroxyapatite as a possible pulp capping material is discussed.

• Response of the dental pulp to capping with a composite resin-bonded ceramic and dental adhesive in rat molars.

  Authors: M Zalkind, I Heling, J Sela

  Israel journal of dental sciences. 2(3):133-6.

  An inflammatory response occurs in the pulp tissue following the application of dental materials due to their chemical properties and/or a secondary bacterial irritation. Recently, a new line ofAn inflammatory response occurs in the pulp tissue following the application of dental materials due to their chemical properties and/or a secondary bacterial irritation. Recently, a new line of composite resin products with reported improved esthetic qualities was designed to allow an intimate adherence with the dentin. This intense bonding could prevent bacterial penetration and marginal discoloration of these restorations. In addition, this method allows prevention of excessive removal of hard tissue. The present study examines pulpal reaction to capping with P-10 composite resin (Dental Products, USA) in rats. Histological examination did not reveal any inflammatory reaction in the nonexposed pulps. Direct pulp capping with P-10 induced formation of reparative dentin bridges.

  Israel journal of dental sciences. 2(3):142-7.

  A metastabilized chlorous acid/chlorine dioxide (MECA) formulation was used as a mouthwash in a group of 18 volunteers aged 20-27. Its effect on developing plaque and salivary bacterial count wasA metastabilized chlorous acid/chlorine dioxide (MECA) formulation was used as a mouthwash in a group of 18 volunteers aged 20-27. Its effect on developing plaque and salivary bacterial count was tested. The trial was carried out over 33 days during which each subject used three different formulations of mouthwash: a high concentration (0.16% sodium chloride in an activating system), a low concentration (0.04% sodium chloride, comparably activated) and a placebo mouthwash (activating system alone). Each participant used each of the three formulations as the only means of oral hygiene for 5-day periods. Each experimental period was separated by 9 days during which the participants returned to their regular oral hygiene habits. The high concentration and low concentration groups showed a 34.5 and 13.5% reduction of dental plaque scores, respectively, compared with the placebo control group. This effect on the plaque index scores was not accompanied by any significant change in the number of salivary bacteria.

• The anticariogenic activity of glycyrrhizin: preliminary clinical trials.

  A clinical trial to test the compound glycyrrhizin, the sweet component of licorice, was conducted on 21 dental students. A split-mouth technique of glycyrrhizin application was used. Subjects wereA clinical trial to test the compound glycyrrhizin, the sweet component of licorice, was conducted on 21 dental students. A split-mouth technique of glycyrrhizin application was used. Subjects were instructed to discontinue all oral hygiene procedures, but no dietary modifications were imposed. After 3 days a highly significant reduction in plaque was detected in the upper central incisors on the experimental sides compared with the control sides of students' mouths. Comparing all teeth, less plaque was found on experimental sides than on control sides of the mouths. This difference demonstrated a tendency towards statistical significance. After 4 days the quantitative differences between the two halves of the mouths (less plaque on experimental sides) were greater than after 3 days. This pilot study might indicate the potential of glycyrrhizin in controlling dental plaque.

  The prosthodontic prognosis in patients with lateral discontinuity defects of the mandible is dependent on a number of complex factors. In some patients only esthetics can be improved, whereas inThe prosthodontic prognosis in patients with lateral discontinuity defects of the mandible is dependent on a number of complex factors. In some patients only esthetics can be improved, whereas in others mastication and speech improvement can be achieved. Two patients who had undergone the same surgical interventions but presented with different problems are described. The first patient had difficulty with mastication and mandibular movements, which was resolved by building a ramp on a maxillary prosthesis. The second patient had severe speech and swallowing problems, which were corrected with an acrylic, hollow speech prosthesis. In both patients the end result was satisfactory.

• Oral cavity herpes simplex virus--a risk factor to dental personnel and patients. An overview.

  Herpes virus antigens were found in the sulcular epithelium of approximately 60% of patients with clinically healthy gingiva. In addition, specific antigens for herpes simplex virus (HSV) were foundHerpes virus antigens were found in the sulcular epithelium of approximately 60% of patients with clinically healthy gingiva. In addition, specific antigens for herpes simplex virus (HSV) were found in the sulcular epithelial cells of patients undergoing periodontal treatment. Specific antibodies were also detected in 70-80% of the gingival fluids collected. On the basis of these data we hypothesized that the oral cavity may act as a preferential site for latent HSV. Thus, stressful events such as traumatic dental treatment and tissue damage may elicit herpetic episodes, risking dental personnel. Measures of precaution are indicated for routine dental treatment.

• Access to the rat mandibular molars: a facial surgical approach.

  Authors: H Tal

  Israel journal of dental sciences. 2(3):123-7.

  A surgical technique enabling convenient access to the rat molars and their supporting tissues is described. The masseter, the body of the mandible and the alveolar process supporting the molars areA surgical technique enabling convenient access to the rat molars and their supporting tissues is described. The masseter, the body of the mandible and the alveolar process supporting the molars are exposed via a skin incision, parallel to and immediately in front of the anterior border of the masseter. Denudation of the alveolar process from attached soft tissues permits easy and accurate access to the periodontium of the molars; moreover, separation of the gingival attachment from the tooth cervix exposes the oral cavity and permits convenient and accurate access to the molars. Post-surgical healing is uneventful. The method is easy and convenient, and should prove useful for experimental studies.

• Alveolar bone changes in experimentally induced prediabetes and diabetes.

  Alveolar bone resorption could be the result of local and systemic nocive factors. Diabetes mellitus is considered to be one of the conditions capable of inducing this resorption. Using rat modelsAlveolar bone resorption could be the result of local and systemic nocive factors. Diabetes mellitus is considered to be one of the conditions capable of inducing this resorption. Using rat models diagnosed as diabetics and prediabetics, alveolar bone resorption was measured directly on the jaws. Significant differences were found between the diabetic and prediabetic rats when compared with the controls. Our results confirmed that significant alveolar bone resorption occurs in animals with only a genetic predisposition to develop diabetes. Bone loss in prediabetic and diabetic rats is a noninflammatory atrophic degeneration that requires further investigation.

• The effect of fluoride drop administration on dental caries increment--a longitudinal study.

  The effect of fluoride drop supplementation was investigated in a longitudinal study initiated in 1980. The def-t and DMF-T indices were used to estimate the incremental caries rate of the deciduousThe effect of fluoride drop supplementation was investigated in a longitudinal study initiated in 1980. The def-t and DMF-T indices were used to estimate the incremental caries rate of the deciduous and first molars of 211 children aged 7-8 and 9.5-10.5 years. No statistically significant differences between the experimental and control def-t and DMF-T scores were found after 3 years. The incremental caries rate of the deciduous dentition of the experimental group was found to be significantly lower than that of the control group (def-t = 0.61 and 1.07 respectively), whereas the difference in the caries increments of the first molars was not significant (DMF-T = 1.62 in both groups). It is estimated that the efficacy was due to the long-term cariostatic effect of the topically acting fluoride on the erupting primary dentition, whereas the permanent dentition (first molars) had already completed calcification of the crown, but had not erupted at initiation of the study. It was estimated that the most effective cariostatic benefits would be apparent in the late erupting teeth of this study group.

• AIDS and oropharyngeal candidiasis.

  Authors: Z Ackerman, R Zeltser, S Maayan

  Israel journal of dental sciences. 2(3):162-6.

  Oropharyngeal candidiasis occurred in a previously healthy young Israeli homosexual male. Additional symptoms included persistent diarrhea, weight loss, fever, generalized lymphadenopathy andOropharyngeal candidiasis occurred in a previously healthy young Israeli homosexual male. Additional symptoms included persistent diarrhea, weight loss, fever, generalized lymphadenopathy and peripheral neuropathy. Immunologic studies revealed lymphopenia with reversed T-helper/T-suppressor cells ratio and antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus, all compatible with the diagnosis of subclinical AIDS. Repeated courses of antimonilial treatment failed to eradicate the oropharyngeal lesions. The clinical picture of AIDS, particularly its oral manifestations, is described. The diagnostic and prognostic implications of oropharyngeal candidiasis as a presenting sign of the disease are discussed. In addition, precautionary measures that should be taken when treating persons infected with HIV are described.
