The purposes of this study were to compare the gingival blood flow (GBF) in test sites (teeth retaining fixed partial dentures) and control sites (contralateral natural teeth) and investigate whether there is any relationship between clinical indices and GBF values. Twelve healthy subjects (6 females and 6 males) aged 20 to 54 years were enrolled this study. The GBF was measured from the middle point of the marginal gingiva in the test and control sites using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). Additionally, plaque index, gingival index and probing depth measurements were recorded. Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found between the test and control sites for marginal GBF. In contrast, no significant difference (p>0.05) was found between test and control sites with respect to the clinical indices, except for plaque index. The findings of this study suggest that there is a significant relation between resin-bonded fixed partial dentures with margins located subgingivally and marginal GBF. Clinical indices are helpful to collect information about the clinical health status of gingival tissues, but GBF is a good tool to measure gingival tissue blood flow and assess periodontal health. In conclusion, laser Doppler flowmetry can be used together with clinical indices to evaluate the marginal gingival health.

Splanchnic Ischemia

Background Decreased gastrointestinal perfusion has been reported during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Conflicting results have been published concerning thresholds of pressure and flow to avoid splanchnic ischemia during CPB. This study compared splanchnic perfusion during independent and randomized variations of CPB pump flow or arterial pressure. Methods Ten rabbits were studied during mild hypothermic (36 degrees C) nonpulsatile CPB using neonatal oxygenators. Simultaneous measurements of tissue blood flow in four different splanchnic areas (gastric, jejunum, ileum, and liver) were performed by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) before CPB (T0) and during a 4-step factorial experimental block design. Pressure and flow were alternatively high or low in random order. Results Laser Doppler flowmetry was significantly lower than pre-CPB value but was better preserved (analysis of covariance) in all organs, except liver, when CPB flow was high, whatever the pressure. Splanchnic LDF values in the low- versus high-flow groups expressed as perfusion unit were (mean +/- SD): stomach, 94+/-66 versus 137+/-75; jejunum, 118+/-78 versus 172+/-75; ileum, 95+/-72 versus 146+/-83; and liver, 79+/-72 versus 108+/-118. No significant difference of LDF was observed between the high- and low-pressure groups, whatever the flow, except for liver: stomach, 115+/-64 versus 117+/-83; jejunum, 141+/-80 versus 148+/-83; ileum, 127+/-87 versus 114+/-76; liver, 114+/-88 versus 73+/-70. Conclusion Prevention of splanchnic ischemia during CPB should focus on preservation of high CPB blood flow rather than on high pressure.

Doppler Flow

In this study the technique of laser-Doppler flowmetry was evaluated for the measurement of tissue blood flow by comparing laser-Doppler flow (LDF) signal in the renal cortex, gracilis muscle, and cremaster muscle of anesthetized rats to whole-organ blood flow measured with an electromagnetic flowmeter or radioactive microspheres. In vitro, LDF signal was closely correlated (r = 0.99) to changes in erythrocyte velocity generated with a rotating wheel. Although individual LDF readings varied in situ, mean LDF signal calculated from multiple readings on the tissue surface were significantly correlated (r = 0.74–0.95) with tissue blood flows measured at various perfusion pressures. However, significant differences in the slope of the LDF signal vs. blood flow relationship were observed in different tissues and with different methods of measurement in the same tissue. This study indicates that mean laser-Doppler flow signal provides a good estimate of tissue blood flow, provided a sufficient number of points is scanned. However, there appears to be no universal calibration factor for the method.
