Study of hydroxyapatite based on Aceh's bovine bone coating on 314L stainless steel as a candidate for coating dental implant materials

ABSTRACT The use of hydroxyapatite (HAp) based on Aceh's bovine bone has been studied as a candidate for thecoating dental implant materials. In this study, the effect of sintering temperature and viscosity on the thickness ofthe hydroxyapatite layer on the 316L stainless steel plaque was observed. The hydroxyapatite was synthesized frombovine bone and then coated on the plate using the dip-coating method. Then, the plate surface was dried at 110 ºCfor 30 minutes and sintered with various temperatures of 500, 600, 700, and 800 ºC for 1 hour. The plate that hasbeen coated with hydroxyapatite was characterized using a thickness meter to measure the thicknesses of the layer.The water composition of 10 grams/L had a better effect on the thickness of the implant material coated with HApbeef bone compared to the water composition of 4, 6, and 8 (gram/L) (p0.05). On the other hand, the temperaturefactor did not affect changes in the thickness of the implant material (p0.05). The higher water composition (10grams/L) resulted in a decrease in the thickness of the implant material coated with beef bone HAp.

A simple microabrasion technique as aesthetic approach on fluorosis of anterior teeth

ABSTRACT Dentistry treatment is not only focused on restoring the function of mastication but also onthe aesthetic problem. Fluorosis is one of the aesthetic problems caused by excessive fluoride intakeduring email formation and produced color changes on the surface of the email. Fluorosis was notaffected by the aesthetics but also influenced the confidence of the patient. The Microabrasion techniqueis an option for fluorosis because it is conservative treatment with good results. A 20-year-old womanwho came to the Dental Conservation clinic complained that she wants to remove the brown color andwhite spots seen on the front teeth, which significantly interfere with her appearance. Based on clinicalexamination, many cavities were found in the back teeth of the upper and lower jaw. The results of thehistory and clinical study revealed that the patient had fluorosis in her teeth. Microabrasion was carriedout using Opalustre (ultradent). This material was applied to the tooth surface and rubbed using anapplicator (opal bristle) for 60 seconds. Then applied fluoride gel paste with finishing cup opal.Treatment results showed changes in tooth color, brown and white patches disappeared. Microabrasionis the first choice for aesthetic treatment in fluorosis and has shown satisfying results to restore thepatient's aesthetics problem. KEYWORDS: Fluorosis, microabrasion technique

Molecular aspects of Enterococcus faecalis virulence

The Enterococcus faecalis (E. Faecalis) virulence factor plays an essential role in the persistence of root canal infection. Virulence factors of Enterococcus faecalis such as lipoteichoic acid, extracellular superoxide, gelatinase, hyaluronidase, and cytolysin are known to increase the ability of Enterococcus faecalis to induce inflammatory processes, colonization formation, and increase resistance. The virulence factor of E. faecalis is mediated by LTA, which has pattern recognition receptors for cytokine release, bone resorption and triggers apoptosis of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, periodontal connective tissue, macrophages, and neutrophils, which have implications for the occurrence of periradicular lesions. Lipoteichoic acid is also involved in producing D-alanine, which stimulates signals to other bacteria to form biofilms. The E. faecalis will change the balance of oxygen radical production in the periapical lesion, fragment collagen. The fight host's defense mechanisms that cause periapical damage and worsening bone loss. Furthermore, cytolysin will respond to changes in oxygen conditions in the depleting root canals for the dominance of E. faecalis against other bacteria. The energy needs of E. faecalis that assisted by hyaluronidase, which degrades hyaluronan dentin. İt has to produce disaccharide degradation products that can be transported and metabolized intracellularly. These materials hydrolyzing the substrate to obtain essential carbon for its growth. This article aims to describe the molecular aspect of E. faecalis virulence that is involved in root canal infections.
