RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effect of a calcium hydroxide (CH) paste (CleaniCal®) containing N-2-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) as a vehicle on Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) biofilms compared with other products containing saline (Calasept Plus™) or propylene glycol (PG) (Calcipex II®). METHODOLOGY: Standardized bovine root canal specimens were used. The antibacterial effects were measured by colony-forming unit counting. The thickness of bacterial microcolonies and exopolysaccharides was assessed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Morphological features of the biofilms were observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Bovine tooth blocks covered with nail polish were immersed into the vehicles and dispelling was observed. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests (p<0.05). RESULTS: CleaniCal® showed the highest antibacterial activity, followed by Calcipex II® (p<0.05). Moreover, NMP showed a higher antibacterial effect compared with PG (p<0.05). The thickness of bacteria and EPS in the CleaniCal® group was significantly lower than that of other materials tested (p<0.05). FE-SEM images showed the specimens treated with Calasept Plus™ were covered with biofilms, whereas the specimens treated with other medicaments were not. Notably, the specimen treated with CleaniCal® was cleaner than the one treated with Calcipex II®. Furthermore, the nail polish on the bovine tooth block immersed in NMP was completely dispelled. CONCLUSIONS: CleaniCal® performed better than Calasept Plus™ and Calcipex II® in the removal efficacy of E. faecalis biofilms. The results suggest the effect might be due to the potent dissolving effect of NMP on organic substances.

A validated sub minute capillary zone electrophoresis method with direct ultraviolet absorption detection for simultaneous determination of isoniazid and rifampicin in fixed-dose combination tablets was developed. Background electrolyte was defined based on the analytes effective mobility curve and it was composed by 20 mmol/L of sodium carbonate/sodium bicarbonate at pH 10.2. A careful validation procedure considering the main figures of merit was performed. Regression models were satisfactory for isoniazid and rifampicin, showing no lack of fit within 95% significance interval. Interday and intraday precision were evaluated in standard and sample and slight relative standard deviations were achieved for concentration, area, and migration time. Recovery values for accuracy in two levels were 99.97 and 90.08% for isoniazid and 95.45 and 95.12% for rifampicin. The limits of detection for isoniazid and rifampicin were 0.22 and 0.34 mg/L, respectively, and the limits of quantification were 0.74 and 1.13 mg/L, respectively. Method selectivity was verified by injecting diluent, background electrolyte, a standard mixture, and a sample, confirming no interferent peaks. The method proved to be simple, environmentally friendly, sensitive, and was successfully applied for simultaneous quantification of isoniazid and rifampicin in fixed-dose combination tablets.

The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) result in an inevitable contact with aquatic environments. Here we study the behavior of AgNPs and the developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos exposed to these nanoparticles (0-10â¯mg/L) with and without the presence of HA (20â¯mg/L), using zebrafish facility water (ZFW) and zebrafish growing media (ZGM). The presence of cations and HA gave rise to a decrease in Ag ion release and ζ-potential, an increase in the hydrodynamic diameter and oxidation of the AgNP surface. The results show that the presence of HA and cations in the media, as well as the silver speciation, i.e., the unusual presence of Ag3+, decreases the toxicity of AgNPs (LC50AgNPs: 1.19â¯mg/L; LC50AgNPsâ¯+â¯HA: 3.56â¯mg/L), as well as silver bioavailability and toxicity in zebrafish embryos. Developmental alterations and the LC50 (1.19â¯mg/L) of AgNPs in ZFW were more relevant (pâ¯≤â¯0.05) than for AgNPs in ZGM (LC50â¯Ëâ¯10â¯mg/L). It was demonstrated that the bioaccumulation and toxicity of AgNPs depends on several factors including AgNPs concentration, nanoparticle aggregation, dissolved silver ions, speciation of silver ions, the amount of salt in the environment, the presence of humic substances and others, and different combinations of all of these factors.

Bone defects created after curettage of benign bone tumors are customarily filled with solid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or other bone substitutes. In this study, we depicted a porous PMMA-based cement (produced by mixing sodium bicarbonate and citric acid) and evaluated the prospect of its clinic application. Cement samples were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry and its cytotoxicity evaluated in fibroblast cultures. Implantation in rabbits allowed the histologic analysis of bone, kidneys, and liver for toxicity and coagulation tests, and MRI images for hemostasis evaluation. Osseointegration was analyzed through radiography, microtomography (micro-CT), SEM, and histology of sheep specimens. Rabbit specimens were analyzed 1, 4, and 7 days after implantation of porous or solid bone cement in 6.0 mm femoral defects. Sheep specimens were analyzed 3 and 6 months after implantation or not of porous or solid cement in 15.0 mm subchondral tibial defects. The production process did not release any detectable toxic substance but slightly reduced fibroblast proliferation in vitro. Until 7 days after surgery, no local or systemic alterations could be detected in histology, or hematoma formation in histology or MRI. Sheep implants showed 6 mm linear ingrowth from the bone-cement interface and 20% bone ingrowth considering the whole defect area. Radiography, micro-CT, SEM, and histology confirmed these findings. We conclude that our porous PMMA-based cement is an attractive alternative treatment for bone defect filling that combines osseointegration and early weight bearing. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment and temperature on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninety-six extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=8) according to Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SbU) applied in self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) mode, adhesive temperature (20°C or 37°C) and sodium bicarbonate or aluminum oxide air abrasion. After composite build up, bonded sticks with cross-sectional area of 1 mm2 were obtained to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS). The specimens were tested at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min on a testing machine until failure. Fractured specimens were analyzed under stereomicroscope to determine the failure patterns in adhesive, cohesive (dentin or resin) and mixed fractures. The microtensile bond strength data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=5%). RESULTS: Interaction between treatment and temperature was statistically significant for SbU applied in self-etch technique. Both dentin treatments showed higher bond strength for ER mode, regardless of adhesive temperature. When compared to control group, sodium bicarbonate increased bond strength of SbU in SE technique. Adhesive temperature did not significantly affect the µTBS of tested groups. Predominantly, adhesive failure was observed for all groups. CONCLUSIONS: Dentin surface treatment with sodium bicarbonate air abrasion improves bond strength of SbU, irrespective of adhesive application mode, which makes this approach an alternative to increase adhesive performance of Scotchbond Universal Adhesive to dentin.

Este estudo in vitro avaliou a influência do tempo de aplicação do bicarbonato de sódio a 10% na qualidade da união de um sistema adesivo universal unido ao esmalte bovino clareado por meio de testes de resistência de união (microtração imediata e após 6 meses) e grau de conversão na interface adesiva (espectroscopia micro-Raman). Cento e dez blocos de esmalte bovino (4x4 mm) foram planificados e distribuídos aleatoriamente em 5 grupos: C: controle, sem clareamento; B: clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio 35% (HP); BS3: clareamento com HP seguido de tratamento com a solução de bicarbonato de sódio 10% (BS) por 3 min; BS5: clareamento com HP seguido de tratamento com BS por 5 min; BS10: clareamento com HP seguido de tratamento com BS por 10 min. O HP foi aplicado duas vezes (20 minutos cada, com exceção do grupo C) e em seguida as restaurações adesivas foram realizadas. Após 24 horas, 20 espécimes de cada grupo foram seccionados em palitos (1x1 mm) e submetidos ao teste de resistência de união (imediato e após 6 meses) em máquina de ensaios universal com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min (n=10). Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a dois critérios (p <0,05). As médias das análises imediata e após 6 meses foram: C: 26,77 / 25,32; B: 26,42 / 26,42; BS3: 23,95 / 22,98; BS5: 23,65 / 26,64; BS10: 23,42 / 29,30. Nenhum dos fatores testados apresentou significância: tratamento (p=0,349) e tempo (p=0,234), não havendo interação entre estes (p=0,198). Falhas adesivas foram predominantes nos dois períodos de avaliação. Para a análise do grau de conversão, após 24 horas da restauração, 2 espécimes de cada grupo foram seccionados em fatias de 1mm, sendo apenas 3 fatias selecionadas. Os seguintes parâmetros foram utilizados: excitação dos espécimes com laser de argônio operando a 538 nm, espectro obtido a uma resolução ~4cm-1, sob uma região de espectro entre 1580-1660cm-1, verificando a altura dos picos 1608cm-1 e 1637cm-1. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a um critério (p <0,05) e as médias do grau de conversão foram: C: 71,10%; B: 72,11%; BS3: 73,98%; BS5: 69,25%; BS10: 70,56%. O fator de estudo tratamento não apresentou significância estatística (p=0,808). A adesão no esmalte clareado parece não ter sido afetada negativamente quando restaurações adesivas foram feitas imediatamente após o clareamento, independente da aplicação ou não da substância antioxidante. Mais estudos que avaliem a adesão em esmalte clareado, principalmente no que diz respeito ao grau de conversão e aos diferentes tipos de sistemas adesivos universais se fazem necessários para fins comparativos e para que possamos indicar seguramente as restaurações imediatas (quando necessárias) na prática clínica.(AU)
The present in vitro study evaluated the influence of the application time of 10% sodium bicarbonate in the adhesion quality of a universal adhesive system bonded to bleached enamel through microtensile bond strength testing (immediate and after 6 months) and the degree conversion (micro-Raman spectroscopy). One hundred and ten bovine enamel blocks (4x4mm) were flattened and randomly allocated into 5 groups: C: control, without bleaching; B: bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP); BS3: bleached and treated with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution (BS) for 3 min; BS5: bleached and treated with BS for 5 min; BS10: bleached and treated with BS for 10 min. HP was applied twice (20 minutes each, except in group C) and the adhesive restorations were performed. After 24 hours, 20 specimens from each group were sectioned into sticks (1x1 mm) and submitted to microtensile bond strength testing (immediately and after 6 months) in a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min (n = 10). Data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA (p <0.05). The means of the immediate and 6 months analysis were: C 26.77 / 25.32; B: 26.42 / 26.42; BS3: 23.95 / 22.98; BS5: 23.65 / 26.64; BS10: 23.42 / 29.30. None of the tested factors showed significance: treatment (p = 0.349) and time (p = 0.234), with no interaction between them (p = 0.198). Adhesive failures were predominant in both evaluation periods. For the degree of conversion analysis, 2 specimens of each group were sectioned into 1 mm slices after 24 hours of the restorative procedure, and 3 slices were selected. The following parameters were used: excitation of specimens with argon laser operating at 538 nm, spectrum obtained at a resolution of ~4cm-1, under a spectrum region between 1580-1660cm-1, evaluating the height of the peaks at 1608cm-1 and 1637cm-1. Data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA (p <0.05). The means of degree of conversion were: C: 71.10%; B: 72.11%; BS3: 73.98%; BS5: 69.25%; BS10: 70.56%. The study factor "treatment" was not statistically significant (p = 0.808). The results of bonding to bleached enamel was not negatively affected when adhesive restorations were made immediately after bleaching, regardless of the application of the antioxidant substance. Further studies to evaluate the adhesion on bleached enamel, mainly with regard to the degree of conversion and different types of universal adhesive systems are needed for comparative purposes. Only after this, the immediate restoration (if necessary) in clinical practice can be safely and indicated.(AU)

Este estudo in vitro avaliou o efeito do bicarbonato de sódio 10% (BS) e do hidrogel de ascorbato de sódio 10% (AS) na resistência adesiva à microtração de uma resina composta unida à superfície de esmalte bovino clareado com peróxido de hidrogênio 35% (PH). Cento e vinte superfícies de esmalte vestibular com dimensões de 4mmX4mm de incisivos bovinos foram planificadas e separadas em cinco grupos: C - não clareado e restaurado; OI - clareado com PH e restaurado imediatamente; O7 - clareado com PH, armazenado por 7 dias em água destilada e restaurado; OBS - clareado com PH, BS 10% durante 5 min e restaurado; OAS - clareado com PH, AS 10% durante 15 min e restaurado. O gel de PH (Total Blanc Office, Nova DFL) foi aplicado duas vezes de 20 minutos em cada espécime e as restaurações foram confeccionadas com sistema adesivo restaurador (Natural Bond DE + Natural Look, Nova DFL). Após uma semana, os espécimes foram seccionados para obtenção de palitos com 1,00 mm2 de área média e submetidos ao teste de microtração em máquina de teste universal a 0,5mm/min, imediatamente e após 6 meses. As falhas foram avaliadas em estereomicroscópio digital (200x) e classificadas em: adesiva, coesiva em esmalte, coesiva em resina e mista. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a dois critérios e teste de Tukey para comparações múltiplas (p<0,05). Os valores médios de resistência adesiva (MPa ± DP; imediatamente / 6 meses) foram: C (24,22 ± 7,74 Ba / 20,13 ± 6,43 BCa); OI (18,29 ± 5,88 Ca / 25,85 ± 5,23 Ab); O7 (40,88 ± 7,95 Aa / 24,61 ± 7,83 ABb); OBS (19,95 ± 5,67 BCa / 15,94 ± 5,57 CDa); OAS (24,43 ± 6,43 Ba / 13,69 ± 5,58 Db). Das estratégias antioxidantes avaliadas após 7 dias, os grupos OAS e OBS não diferiram estatisticamente do grupo C, nem OBS diferiu estatisticamente do grupo OI. Nesse período de avaliação, somente o grupo O7 apresentou diferença significativa em relação aos demais grupos. Após 6 meses de envelhecimento, apenas O7 e OBS apresentaram desempenho semelhante...
This "in vitro" study evaluated the effect of 10% sodium bicarbonate (SB) and 10% sodium ascorbate (SA) hydrogel on the composite resin microtensile bond strength of bleached bovine enamel with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). One hundred and twenty buccal enamel surfaces with dimensions of 4mmX4mm of bovine incisors were flattened and separated into five groups: C - not bleached and restored, OI - bleached with HP and immediately restored; O7 - bleached with HP, stored for 7 days in distilled water and restored; OBS - bleached with HP, 10% SB for 5 min and restored; OAS - bleached with HP, 10% SA for 15 min and restored. HP gel (Total Blanc Office, Nova DFL) was applied twice for 20 minutes on each specimen and the restorations were performed with an adhesive restorative system (Natural Bond DE + Natural Look, Nova DFL). After a week, the specimens were sectioned into sticks with a 1.00 mm2 average area and submitted to a microtensile test in a universal testing machine at 0.5 mm/min, immediately and after 6 months. The failures were evaluated in a digital stereoscope (200x) and classified as: adhesive, cohesive in enamel, cohesive in resin and mixed. Data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons (p <0.05). The average values of the bond strength (MPa ± SD; immediately / 6 months) were: C (24.22 ± 7.74 Ba / 20.13 ± 6.43 BCa) OI (18.29 ± 5.88 Ca / 25.85 ± 5.23 Ab); O7 (40.88 ± 7.95 Aa / 24.61 ± 7.83 ABb), OBS (19.95 ± 5.67 BCa / 15.94 ± 5.57 CDa), OAS (24.43 ± 6.43 Ba / 13.69 ± 5.58 Db). Among the antioxidant strategies evaluated after 7 days, the OAS and OBS groups did not differ from group C and neither OBS group differed from the OI group. In the same evaluation period, only the O7 group presented a significant difference compared to the other groups. After 6 months of aging, only the O7 and OBS groups performed statistically similar to group C. The percentage of failures (7 days / 6 months) was: adhesive (65.26% / 67.06%); ...
