Cefaclor concentrations in human serum, gingiva, mandibular bone, and dental follicle following a single oral administration.

1. Cefaclor concentrations in human serum (n = 59), gingiva (n = 46), mandibular bone (n = 39), and dental follicle (n = 42) following a single oral administration of cefaclor (500 mg) were measured by the paper disk method. 2. The peak times of serum, gingiva, mandibular bone, and dental follicle were 1.5, 2, 2, and 1.5 hr, respectively. 3. The mean peak concentrations of serum, gingiva, mandibular bone, and dental follicle were 7.58 micrograms/ml, 3.71, 1.59 and 2.42 micrograms/g, respectively. 4. The concentration ratios of gingiva/serum, mandibular bone/serum, and dental follicle/serum at peak times of the tissues were 0.49, 0.18, and 0.32, respectively. 5. Mean cefaclor concentrations in gingiva, mandibular bone, and dental follicle at peak times exceeded MIC for 90% for clinically isolated strains of alpha-hemolytic Streptococci.

Administration, Oral

Ampicillin concentrations in human oral tissues following a single oral administration of lenampicillin.

1. Ampicillin concentrations in serum (n = 20), gingiva (n = 12), jawbone (n = 13), dental follicle (n = 12), radicular granuloma (n = 2) and radicular cyst (n = 2) were measured in specimens obtained during 0.5-2.5 hr after a single oral administration of lenampicillin (equivalent to 500 mg of ampicillin). 2. Measurable ampicillin concentrations were found in all serum and tissues. 3. Ampicillin concentrations in serum and tissues except for some gingiva and jawbone exceeded MIC for 90% of clinically isolated strains of alpha-hemolytic Streptococci. 4. Ampicillin concentrations in gingiva and jawbone were below the MIC for 90% in 2 out of 12 and 4 out of 13 specimens, respectively.

Adult

Gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine.

We describe 4 cases of gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine, together with clinical and histological findings. Hyperplasia of the interdental papillae was observed in all cases. Histologic examination showed multilayered epithelial parakeratosis with variations in the width, proliferation, reticulation and elongation of the rete pegs. Substitution of another drug and improvement of oral hygiene led to reduction of the gingival overgrowth without gingivectomy. These treatments are essential for gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine.

Cephalexin concentrations in human serum, gingiva, and mandibular bone following a single oral administration.

1. Cephalexin concentrations in human serum, gingiva, and mandibular bone after a single oral administration of cephalexin (500 mg) were measured by the paper disc method. 2. The peak times of serum, gingiva, and mandibular bone were approximately 90, 120 and 120 min, respectively. 3. The peak concentrations of serum, gingiva, and mandibular bone were 10.58 micrograms/ml, 5.57 micrograms/g and 2.12 micrograms/g, respectively. 4. The concentration ratio of gingiva/serum and mandibular bone/serum peak time of serum were 0.47 and 0.18, respectively. 5. Cephalexin concentrations in gingiva and mandibular bond did not exceed the MIC80s for clinically isolated strains of Staphylococcus aureus spp., alpha-Streptococci and Peptostreptococcus spp.

Concentrations of ampicillin in human serum and mixed saliva following a single oral administration of lenampicillin, and relationship between serum and mixed saliva concentrations.

The concentrations of ampicillin in serum and mixed saliva after a single oral administration of lenampicillin (500 mg) were determined by the paper disc method. The samples of serum and mixed saliva were obtained at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after administration. The highest concentrations of ampicillin in serum and mixed saliva occurred 1 h after administration of lenampicillin, and were 11.55 and 0.060 micrograms/ml, respectively. A significant correlation coefficient between the concentrations of ampicillin in serum and mixed saliva, r = 0.71, P less than 0.001, was found.

[Study on prototype cylindrical HAP].

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is currently utilized as biomaterials for implantation or reconstruction of bone defect in dentistry. In order to obtain better physical properties and biocompatibility, we have developed cylindrical sintered porous HAP which has longitudinal internal tubules. We measured compressive strength and specific surface area of cylindrical HAP. In the results, compressive strength was more 300MPa on average and specific surface area was 1.7-2.4 folds as HAP ceramics commercially available. This result indicates new bone formation. Cylindrical HAP used was subsequently applied to lower premolars and molars of male beagle dogs (1.5 years). We have implanted cylindrical HAP to bone defect of postextraction of tooth followed to sacrifice six months after. Specimens of bone block were stained with Villanueva bone stain and observed with fluorescence microscope and scanning electron microscope. New tissue formation was observed invading into tubules of 27 microns diameter of cylindrical HAP particles. This new tissue was confirmed to be bone tissue because the proportion of Ca to P was 1.616 obtained by energy dispersive X-ray analyzer.

Josamycin concentrations in human dental granuloma after a single oral administration of josamycin.

1. Josamycin concentrations in human serum and dental granuloma after a single oral administration of josamycin (600 mg) were assayed by an agar diffusion (paper disc) method. 2. The mean peak josamycin concentrations in serum and dental granuloma occurred at an identical time, approximately 90 min, and were 0.88 micrograms/ml and 1.61 micrograms/g, respectively. 3. The mean concentration ratio of dental granuloma to serum at the peak time was 2.24. 4. Josamycin concentration in dental granuloma at the peak time exceeded MIC80 for clinically isolated strains of Streptococcus group A, Peptostreptococcus spp., and Bacteroides spp.
