Abstract

To quantify the secondary dentin formation in replanted teeth, 16 human premolars with a postoperative observation period of 6, 12 and 24 weeks were studied histometrically. In spite of marked intra- and interindividual variations, a regression analysis revealed a significant correlation (r = 0.70) between observation time and the quantity of secondary dentin in the coronal pulp registered by histometry. A comparison with a previous semiquantitative interpretation of the same material showed that the histometric method was more accurate.

A quantum biological hypothesis of human secondary dentinogenesis.

It is hypothesized that human coronal secondary dentin (SD) is a final classical mechanical (CM) response to a chain of prior quantum mechanical (QM) transductions of the information of initial CM occlusal loadings of enamel. Such CM energy is transduced into QM quanta (as protons) that are translocated centripetally via clustered water (CW), (as "proton wires"), that is structurally related to both enamel prism sheath and hydroxyapatite crystal hydration shells. These quanta pass into odontoblastic cell processes (OP), lying within dentinal tubules (DT). OP's contain abundant parallel arrays of cylindrical microtubules (MT). These are the sites of two further CW-related QM events: (i) proton translocation associated with conformal changes of MT tubulin protein dimers; and (ii) coherent energetic oscillations within the CW filling the MT's hollow cores. Finally, these quanta pass into the odontoblastic soma, where QM wave function collapse transduces this information into a final CM state that initiates the processes of SD formation. A critical portion of this hypothesis may be experimentally tested.

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma with ghost cells and inductive dentin formation - report of a case in the mandible.

An atypical case of clear cell odontogenic carcinoma occurred in the mandible of a 50-year-old Japanese man. Microscopically, the tumor mainly consisted of clear, glycogen-rich epithelial cell nests, aggressively proliferated in the mandible and invading into the surrounding soft tissues. Within the tumor cell nests, clusters of ghost cells were observed in addition to occasional foci of microcystic degeneration. Hyaline, osteoid or dentinoid-like deposits were also demonstrated adjacent to the tumor cell nests. Dentinal tubules were clearly revealed in some of these structures. Hence, this tumor was regarded as an epithelial neoplasm with odontogenic ectomesenchyme induction.

Ultrastructural relation between nerve terminals and dentine bridge formation after pulpotomy in human teeth.

Close association between nerve terminals and preodontoblasts, odontoblasts and predentine was observed during healing after pulpotomy. The nerve terminals frequently contained large numbers of synaptic vesicles. Terminals with many vesicles tended to be fewer in the predentine than in the odontoblastic layer. The distribution of terminals was more dense at the stage before the regenerated odontoblasts became arranged regularly beneath the predentine. It is suggested that these terminals have some efferent role(s), especially during collagen synthesis at the early stage of dentinogenesis. The nerves may release their abundant synaptic vesicles, in addition to serving a sensory role for monitoring the increased sensitivity in the injured areas.
