Dental workplace exposure and effect on fertility. (1/312)

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed occupational exposure in dental surgeries on the basis of the reported use of dental materials and techniques and applied waiting-time-to-pregnancy methodology to study fertility in relation to the occupational exposure. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively using a self-administered postal questionnaire addressing the occupational and reproductive history of the participants. The study groups consisted of 558 female dental surgeons and 450 high school teachers that had given birth in Norway to at least 1 living child. The present study comprised data from a total of 1408 pregnancies. The effects of practicing dentistry and of the given workplace exposure on fertility were analyzed with the discrete proportional hazard regression method. RESULTS: Most of the female dental surgeons were using amalgam for fillings during the period they tried to conceive, and 1/3 placed more than 50 fillings a week. Tooth-colored fillings were in limited use. Prior to 75% of the pregnancies, the dental surgeons reported handling chloroform-based root canal sealers. Forty percent of the dental surgeons were daily exposed to disinfectants containing ethanol and benzene. No difference was found in fertility between the dental surgeons and the high school teachers. Exposure to mercury, chloroform, and benzene was not associated with decreased fertility, except for a possible effect of mercury in the last pregnancy of multiparous dental surgeons. CONCLUSIONS: Occupational exposures had no clear adverse effects on fertility among the female dental surgeons studied.  (+info)

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the outcome of conventional root canal treatment in a general practice setting within the Royal Air Force dental service. Design Retrospective review. METHODS: Teeth that had been root-filled for 12 months or more by Royal Air Force dental practitioners in patients attending a large Royal Air Force dental centre were included in the study. Following clinical and radiographic review the root fillings were classified as 'definitely successful', 'probably successful' or 'failed' The effect on success of several variables on the outcome was investigated. RESULTS: Out of a total of 406 teeth, 59% were maxillary teeth and 41% were mandibular teeth. Sixty-nine per cent of the total sample had pre-existing periapical radiolucencies. Cold lateral condensation of gutta-percha was the most widely used filling technique (64% of all cases). Fifty per cent of the teeth had root fillings within 2 mm of the radiographic apex, 32% were greater than 2 mm from the radiographic apex and 18% were overfilled. Cold lateral condensation was the most successful (92% overall) filling technique. Maxillary anterior teeth had a better success rate (96%) than other tooth types. Teeth with pre-existing periapical radiolucencies had a higher success rate (87%) than those cases where there was no pre-existing periapical radiolucency (80%). Root fillings that were less than 2 mm from the radiographic apex of the tooth had a higher success rate (88% overall) than those that were greater than 2 mm from the radiographic apex (77% overall). Of the 406 cases, 57% (n=231) were classified as definitely successful, 28% (n=114) were classified as probably successful and 15% (n=62) were classified as failures. Thus, the overall success rate combining definitely successful and probably successful root fillings was 85% (n=344). CONCLUSIONS: Root fillings placed using cold lateral condensation of gutta-percha to within 2 mm of the radiographic apex of the tooth were associated with the best outcome.  (+info)

Influence of the spatulation of two zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealers on the obturation of lateral canals. (4/312)

The objective of this research was to evaluate, in vitro, the importance of the correct manipulation of endodontic sealers, correlating it with flow rate and with the consequent obturation of root canals. Twenty-four human canines were prepared, 1 mm from the apex, with K-files up to size 50, by means of the step-back technique. Six lateral canals were then drilled in each tooth, with size 10 file fixed to a low-speed handpiece. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups, and root canals were obturated either with the Endomethasoneregister mark or target sealer or Grossman sealer, prepared at ideal or incorrect clinical consistency. After obturation by means of the lateral condensation technique, the teeth were radiographed and evaluated as to the number of sealed lateral canals. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (p < 0.001) between the tested sealers, and indicated the higher capacity of the well-manipulated Grossman sealer to fill lateral canals. It can be concluded that the flow rate of a sealer and its correct manipulation are very important for the satisfactory obturation of lateral canals.  (+info)

Tissue reactions after intraosseous implantation of three retrofilling materials. (6/312)

Bone tissue reactions to EBA, IRM, and cyanoacrylate cement (Base Liner) were studied in the rat mandible using an intraosseous implant method. Osseous cavities (1.4 mm in diameter) were surgically created in the mandibles, and materials were implanted in 60 male Wistar rats. Each specimen was evaluated histologically after 4 and 8 weeks. The development of fibrous connective tissue in direct apposition to the material was observed in the EBA and IRM groups at 4 weeks. A slight degree of macrophage infiltration was seen in the EBA group. After the 8-week observation period, IRM and EBA were frequently separated from the bone cavity by a fibrous connective tissue layer (p < 0.01). The Base Liner appeared to be in direct apposition to the osseous tissue in several areas (p < 0.01). These findings indicate that Base Liner reacts favorably with osseous tissue, compared with the EBA and IRM materials tested and seems to be a biocompatible material.  (+info)

Apical and periapical repair of dogs' teeth with periapical lesions after endodontic treatment with different root canal sealers. (7/312)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical and periapical repair after root canal treatment of dogs' teeth with pulp necrosis and chronic periapical lesion using different root canal sealers. After periapical lesion induction, forty-four root canals of 3 dogs were submitted to biomechanical preparation using 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as an irrigating solution. A calcium hydroxide dressing (Calen PMCC) was applied for 15 days and the root canals were filled using the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and Sealapex, AH Plus or Sealer Plus for sealing. After 180 days, the animals were sacrificed by anesthetic overdose and the obtained histological sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for optical microscopic analysis of the apical and periapical repair. The groups filled with Sealapex and AH Plus had better histological repair (p < 0.05) than the group filled with Sealer Plus, that had unsatisfactory results.  (+info)

Histopathological reactions of calcium phosphate cement. (8/312)

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) consisting of Ca4 (PO4)2O and CaHPO4 (2H2O) was recently developed. This study evaluated in vivo aspects of CPC and CPC mixtures compared to those of commercial hydroxyapatite (HP) and several endodontic materials: Grossman's cement (GC), calcium hydroxide-iodine paste (CHP) and gutta-percha plate (GP). Biocompatibility of subcutaneous implants in Donryu rats was evaluated after one month. Results showed very slight inflammatory reactions from CPC, CPC mixtures and HP. The materials were surrounded by thin fibrous connective tissues with a small number of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Severe inflammatory reactions were provoked by GC. Granulation tissues induced by CHP resembled those of pseudoxanthomatous granuloma. The GP material was encapsulated by relatively thick fibrous connective tissues with little inflammatory reactions.  (+info)

Root resorption is a dental condition in which the root of a tooth becomes shorter or disappears due to various factors. It can occur in both primary (baby) and permanent teeth and can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, orthodontic treatment, dental procedures, and certain medical conditions. In some cases, root resorption may be asymptomatic and may not cause any noticeable symptoms. However, in severe cases, it can lead to tooth sensitivity, pain, and even tooth loss. Root resorption can be diagnosed through dental X-rays, which can show the extent and severity of the condition. Treatment options depend on the cause and severity of the root resorption, and may include observation, root canal therapy, or extraction of the affected tooth.

Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula NaOCl. It is a strong oxidizing agent and is commonly used as a disinfectant and bleach. In the medical field, sodium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant to clean and sterilize medical equipment, instruments, and surfaces. It is also used as a topical antiseptic to treat minor cuts, wounds, and burns. Sodium hypochlorite is available in various concentrations and is typically mixed with water to form a solution for use. It is important to handle sodium hypochlorite with care, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large quantities.

In the medical field, oxides refer to compounds that contain oxygen and another element. These compounds can be found in various forms, such as minerals, gases, and solids, and they play important roles in various biological processes. For example, calcium oxide (CaO) is a common oxide that is used in the treatment of acid reflux and ulcers. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and forming a protective layer on the stomach lining. Another example is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is a powerful oxidizing agent that is used in wound care to kill bacteria and promote healing. In addition to their therapeutic uses, oxides are also important in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. For example, the measurement of blood oxygen levels is a critical part of respiratory and cardiovascular monitoring, and the use of oxygen therapy is a common treatment for patients with respiratory distress. Overall, oxides play important roles in many aspects of medicine, from the treatment of specific conditions to the diagnosis and monitoring of patients.

In the medical field, a smear layer is a thin layer of debris and bacteria that forms on the surface of dental tissues, such as teeth and gums, after a cleaning or scaling procedure. This layer can interfere with the bonding of dental materials, such as fillings or crowns, to the underlying tooth structure, and can also contribute to the development of dental plaque and gum disease. To remove the smear layer, dentists may use a variety of techniques, such as polishing or etching, to roughen the surface of the tooth and improve the adhesion of dental materials.

Methylmethacrylates are a group of organic compounds that are commonly used in the medical field as adhesives, coatings, and as a component in medical devices. They are derived from the monomer methylmethacrylate, which is a colorless, odorless liquid that polymerizes (forms long chains) when exposed to heat or light. Methylmethacrylates are used in a variety of medical applications, including dental fillings, orthopedic implants, and as a component in medical coatings and adhesives. They are also used in the production of medical devices such as catheters, syringes, and surgical instruments. One of the key benefits of methylmethacrylates is their biocompatibility, which means that they are generally well-tolerated by the body and do not cause adverse reactions. They are also relatively easy to process and can be molded into a wide range of shapes and sizes. However, methylmethacrylates can also have some potential drawbacks, including toxicity and the potential for allergic reactions in some individuals. As with any medical material, it is important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of using methylmethacrylates in a particular medical application.

Calcium sulfate is a chemical compound that is commonly used in the medical field. It is also known as calcium sulfate dihydrate or gypsum. Calcium sulfate is a white, odorless, and crystalline powder that is insoluble in water. It is used in a variety of medical applications, including: 1. Radiopaque contrast agent: Calcium sulfate is used as a radiopaque contrast agent in X-ray imaging to help visualize bones and other structures in the body. 2. Hemostatic agent: Calcium sulfate is used as a hemostatic agent to stop bleeding in wounds and surgical procedures. 3. Dental applications: Calcium sulfate is used in dental applications, such as in the production of dental cements and as a desensitizing agent for toothpaste. 4. Pharmaceutical applications: Calcium sulfate is used in the production of various pharmaceuticals, including tablets, capsules, and injectables. 5. Wound healing: Calcium sulfate is used in wound healing to promote the formation of new tissue and to help prevent infection. Calcium sulfate is generally considered safe for medical use, but it can cause allergic reactions in some people. It is important to follow the instructions for use and to consult with a healthcare provider before using calcium sulfate for any medical purpose.

In the medical field, "Resins, Synthetic" refers to a group of synthetic polymers that are derived from petrochemicals or other organic compounds. These resins are used in a variety of medical applications, including as adhesives, coatings, and as components in medical devices. Some examples of synthetic resins used in the medical field include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene. These resins are often used to make medical devices such as catheters, tubing, and containers for medical supplies. Synthetic resins are also used in medical coatings to provide a barrier against bacteria and other microorganisms, as well as to improve the durability and performance of medical devices. For example, some medical implants are coated with synthetic resins to reduce the risk of infection and to improve their biocompatibility with the body. Overall, synthetic resins play an important role in the medical field by providing a range of useful properties and applications in the development and production of medical devices and supplies.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes, including as a laxative, emollient, and antifungal agent. In the medical field, castor oil is primarily used as a laxative to relieve constipation. It works by softening the stool and increasing the frequency of bowel movements. Castor oil is also sometimes used topically as a moisturizer or to treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. However, it should be used with caution, as it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Dental pulp diseases refer to a group of conditions that affect the soft tissue inside the tooth, known as the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that nourish and support the tooth. There are several types of dental pulp diseases, including: 1. Dental caries: This is the most common type of dental pulp disease, caused by bacteria that produce acids that erode the tooth enamel and dentin, leading to decay of the dental pulp. 2. Dental abscess: This occurs when bacteria enter the dental pulp and cause an infection, leading to the formation of an abscess, which is a collection of pus. 3. Pulpitis: This is an inflammation of the dental pulp, which can be caused by dental caries, trauma, or other factors. 4. Pulp necrosis: This occurs when the dental pulp dies due to trauma, infection, or other factors. 5. Pulp calcification: This is the formation of calcium deposits in the dental pulp, which can cause pain and other symptoms. Dental pulp diseases can cause pain, sensitivity, swelling, and other symptoms, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Treatment options for dental pulp diseases include root canal therapy, pulpotomy, and extraction.
