A comparison of intracanal stresses in a post-restored tooth utilizing the finite element method.

The finite element method was used to compare stresses along the inner canal wall in four two-dimensional models of an average maxillary central incisor. The four models evaluated were an intact incisor, an endodontically treated incisor, an endodontically treated crown-restored incisor, and a cylindrical post and crown-restored incisor. A horizontal static force, 1 Newton in magnitude, was applied to the lingual surface of each model and the maximum tensile, compressive, and shear stresses were calculated using the general purpose finite element program PAFEC 75. Results indicate that the stress patterns within the root are altered as a result of post insertion. Specifically, the maximum bending stresses are associated with the apical termination of the post, and post placement does not result in a uniform distribution of stress along the canal wall.

A comparative study of fluoride release from glass-ionomer cements.

This study compared the amounts and patterns of fluoride release from 11 commercially available glass-ionomer cements into artificial saliva over an 84-day period. The results indicated that the materials differed in the amount of fluoride released, and that Miracle Mix released the highest cumulative total of fluoride over the test period. Along with old Fuji II, Miracle Mix also released the most fluoride during the last time interval (56 to 84 days). All of the materials released the greatest proportion of their cumulative total fluoride in the first 24 hours after mixing.

Fluoride release from light-cured liners.

This study compared the relative amounts and patterns of fluoride release from six commercially available light-cured liners in artificial saliva over a 28-day period. Cavalite and two Zionomer products released relatively small amounts of fluoride. Timeline and XR Ionomer released the highest cumulative total of fluoride over time. During the last time interval (14-28 days), Timeline released the greatest amount of fluoride. Patterns of fluoride release for all materials were similar with the largest proportion of the total fluoride release being in the first 24-48 hours, followed by a dramatic reduction in release rate.

Using the electric pulp tester with gloves: a simplified approach.

A method is presented which simplifies the use of the electric pulp tester for the dentist who routinely wears gloves in practice. Advantages of this method include a reduction in patient apprehension as well as a possible decrease in discomfort for the patient.

Ketoprofen in dentistry: a pharmacologic review.

The pharmacology, clinical dental studies, and the relevance to dental applications of ketoprofen, a recent addition to the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are reviewed. In addition to inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins, ketoprofen may also suppress leukotrienes and further limit inflammation. Clinically, it appears that ketoprofen compares favorably with many of the nonsteroidal drugs now in use. Recently approved for use in mild to moderate pain, ketoprofen's rapid onset of action, patent analgesic properties, and minimal side effects are particularly appealing.

In vitro tensile bond strengths of amalgam to treated dentin.

Since amalgam traditionally relies on undercuts in the tooth preparation for retention, extensive tooth structure must be removed for amalgam core build-ups. In contrast, the ideal build-up material would achieve its retention by directly bonding to tooth structure. This study compared tensile bond strengths of amalgam to dentin using All-Bond Liner-FX with three different dentin pretreatment conditions and Amalgambond according to the manufacturer's directions. One hundred and twenty dentin samples were tested. Groups 1-3 used All-Bond Liner-FX as a bonding agent. Group 1 received a 15-second application of 10 percent phosphoric acid on the dentin; Group 2 received the recommended dentin conditioner; and Group 3 received no dentin pretreatment. Group 4 used Amalgambond as the bonding agent after a 10-second application of 10 percent citric acid/3 percent ferric chloride. Analysis of the data was conducted using both ANOVA and the Weibull statistic. Results of the analysis of variance indicate that there were no statistical differences among mean tensile bond strengths for the three dentin pretreatment conditions using All-Bond. All (30) of the Amalgambond specimens debonded prior to testing. The All-Bond fracture data was well described by the Weibull function as evidenced by the high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.98-0.99). Fracture analysis indicated that all of the Amalgambond failures were adhesive at the Amalgambond-amalgam interface. All-Bond fractures were mixed cohesive/adhesive failures indicating similar bonding to amalgam and dentin.
