[A study for non-asbestos casting liners. An experimental study of the adaptability of MOD casting to die].

Asbestos liners for investment metal casting has frequently been used in dental laboratory work. In recent years, the dangerous properties of asbestos to the human body were reported in Europe and the United States, and casting liners without asbestos were developed and marketed by many manufacturers. These are so-called non-asbestos liners. This study evaluated the adaptability of MOD inlay castings to dies using 8 kinds of commercial non-asbestos liners of ADA standard No. 2 specifications. The results were as follows; Single and double layers of Casting ribbon, New Asbestos Ribon, Shofu experimental, and KAOLIN showed good adaptation. Shofu experimental with a single layer showed the best marginal adaptation (10 microns). OVAL LINERS and CASTING LINERS with single layer showed good adaptation, but with double layers the adaptation was poor. In FLASK LINER, the double layer showed better adaptation than that with a single layer. Most non-asbestos liners used in this study are adequate in useful to MOD inlay castings.

Adhesion mechanism of polyelectrolyte cements to tooth structure--polyelectrolyte behavior of the cement polymers obtained by potentiometric titration in the presence of calcium ion.

Potentiomeric titration of aqueous solutions of polyacrylic acid and commercial polyelectrolyte cement polymers with sodium hydroxide solution was carried out in the presence of different concentrations of Ca2+. Polyelectrolytes all behave as weak acids without the coexisting Ca2+. However, in the presence of Ca2+, in amounts over one-half of the equivalent amount to the carboxyl group in the polymer, they have a strong acid-like behavior. This means that the carboxyl groups in the polymer chain tend to react strongly with coexisting Ca2+ as they are partially neutralized by the alkaline solution. This is also strong evidence supporting polyelectrolyte cement as an adhesion mechanism to tooth structure during cementation.

[The effectiveness of GaA1As semiconductor laser treatment to pain decrease after irradiation].

Recently, sedative and antiphlogistic treatment is conducted with low energy laser irradiation. The purpose of the this study was to evaluate the effectiveness to decrease of pain just after irradiation by a GaA1As semiconductor laser. The irradiation apparatus was SEMI LASER NANOX (LX-800: G-C. Co.) with the following features: a wave length of (around) 780nm: the laser energy, 30mW; exposure time, 30sec to 180sec/per treatment. Diagnosis of pre- and post-operative sensitivity were classified into the following four grades: Grade 0 no pain. Grade I mild pain. Grade II strong but tolerable pain. Grade III intolerable pain (simultaneous with stimulation). The results were as follows: 1. In the hypersensitivity of dentin, the treatment was not effective with 2 cases of grade III, but with all of grade I, II (35 cases) the pain decreased just after irradiation. 2. It was effective in all cases with pain like periodontitis after root canal filling and pain after extraction of teeth. 3. It was effective in all cases with gingivitis, stomatitis, and gingival ulcers after infiltration anesthesia etc..

[Simulation with a pre-clinical training system. 2. Evaluation of the pre-clinical training system].

This study evaluated usefulness of the Pre-Clinical Training System. Undergraduate students and instructors at Higashi-Nippon-Gakuen University practiced class I composite resin restoration of the lower right first molar using the system. After the practice, they filled out questionnaires to evaluate the system. According to the results, this system proved useful for pre-clinical education though there is room for improvement.
