Background: Present research studied the surface hardness and roughness dependence on polymerization. Polymerization of composites occurs through chain reaction that is induced by free radicals. Oxygen in the air decreases the excitability of the photo initiator, causing polymerization interference. Oxygen inhibition layer (OIL) is formed on the surface. OIL can be reduced by curing the composite through by application of glycerin to the surface. Purpose: To determine the effect of glycerin on the surface hardness and roughness of nanofill composite. Material and Methods: 64 specimens of composite (Z350 XT, 3M) were prepared using a disc-shaped acrylic. The groups were divided into group A surface hardness (N=32) and group B surface roughness (N=32). Group A1, the specimen was coated with glycerin and light cured for 20 s and group A2, the specimen was exposed to air and light cured for 20 s. Group B1 was coated with glycerin and light cured for 20 s and Group B2 was exposed to air and light cured for 20 s. The specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 h at 370. Measuring with Vickers and surface roughness tester and. Data were statistically analyzed using Mean-whitney U Test. Results: There were statiscally significant difference between the surface hardness and roughness of nanofill composite coated with glycerin and without glycerin (p<0,05) Conclusion: The surface hardness of nanofill composite resin coated with glycerin is higher than composite without glycerin and the surface roughness of nanofill composite resin coated with glycerin is lower than composite without glycerin
Objective: To investigate the difference of chemical bonds between urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) bonding agents with ethanol solvent and acetone solvent on dentin collagen. Material and Methods: This experimental comparison study used three groups: G1 (Control): UDMA and collagen; G2: UDMA, collagen and ethanol; and G3: UDMA, collagen and acetone. The groups were then pelleted and analysed with FTIR, then the peak value of carbonyl absorption band from each study group was calculated. The result of FTIR analysis and the peak of carbonyl absorption band (P) was calculated using the formula: P = (BC / AB) X 100; AB. BC is measured in centimeters. The study of chemical bond differences between ethanol-solvent UDMA agents compared with acetone-solvent on dentin collagen resulted in a graph of peak of carbonyl absorption bands of UDMA and dentin collagen groups. To determine the chemical bonds of UDMA from the top of the carbonyl ester absorption bands with wavenumber absorption in range 1700-1750 cm-1, the decreasing peak of the carbonyl absorption bands is assumed as more chemical bonds that formed. Data were analysed using Anova one way and Tukey HSD test. Results: There were significant differences between the three study groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: UDMA bonding agents' chemical bonds with acetone solvent are much higher than the chemical bonds between UDMA bonding agents with ethanol solvent on dentin collagen.
Background. Enterococcus faecalis is the most dominant microorganisms found in endodontic secondary infection with prevalence ranging between 24% - 77%. Defense mechanism of Enterococcus faecalis bacteria is forming biofilm,. A study showed that bacteria in mature biofilms can 10-1000 times more resistant to antimicrobials than bacteria in a planktonic form. One of the natural substances that can be used as antibiofilm to irrigation root canals is extract of fresh bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum Wight). Chemical components in bay leaves include flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils, which have antibacterial capability and damage the membrane biofilm. Purpose. To determine the effective concentration of fresh bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum Wight) that can inhibit biofilm Enterococcus faecalis. Method. This research is in-vitro labolatory experimental with post test only control group design using microtitter plate assay. Samples using Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 cultured in TSB (Trypticase Soy Broth) + glucose.Bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum Wight) concentration in this study was 13%, 12.25%, 11.50%, 10.75%, 10%, 9.25%, 8.50%, 7.75%, 7%, and 6.25%. Results. At the 13% concentration of Syzygium polyanthum Wight, showed 100% inhibition of biofilm, means that the 13% concentration of bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum Wight) can totally inhibit biofilm formation of Enterococcus faecalis. Conclusion. The effective concentration of bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum Wight) which inhibit Enterococcus faecalis biofilm is 13%.
Background. Root canal treatment is a main role in decreasing infection from root canal and pulp. The main cause of periapical damage mostly are bacteries. E.faecalis is a bactery that is found as an etiology of endodontic treatment failure. Cell wall of this bacteria is containing Lipoteichoic acid (LTA). LTA can penetrate into the periradicular tissue, act as endotoxin in host and cause periradicular inflammation then lead to bone destruction. LTA stimulates immunology reaction that produce Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) and Transforming growth factors beta (TGF-ß). TNF-α is a main mediator and also have an important role in inflamation response otherwise TGF-ß is working as a multifunction regulator of cell growth and differentiation during reforming and remodelling. Purpose. The aim of this study is to know about the expression of TNF-α and TGF-ß during the periapical tissue damage due to induction of E.faecalis. Method. This study used laboratory experimental with the post test only control group design. A total of 30 male rats were randomly divided into 3 main groups, Group A (control negative) : normal tooth. Group B (control positive) : every tooth was induced only by sterile BHI-b. Group C (treated group) : every tooth was induced by 10 μl BHI-b E.faecalis ATCC212(106 CFU). The animals were sacrificed 21 days later and prepared for histological examination of tissue damage, then we did the immunohistochemistry followed by calculation on the light microscope. Result. The analysis revealed that the expression of TNF-α at treated group are higher than negative control and positive control but the expression of TGF-ß at treated group are higher than the negative control group but lower than positive control. Conclusion. From this study we know that the expression of TNF-α and TGF-ß are changing during the periapical tissue damage that induced by E.faecalis.
Background. The main etiology of endodontic treatment failure is caused by bacteries that stay in the root canal. E.faecalis is a bactery that is found as an etiology of endodontic treatment failure. Cell wall of this bacteria is containing Lipoteichoic acid (LTA). LTA can penetrate into the periradicular tissue, act as endotoxin in host and cause periradicular inflammation and destruction. It occurs due to the capability of TGF-ß to enhance the proliferation collagen and MMP-1 to stop the collagen formation. The ability of enterococcus faecalis in enhancing inflamation process cause host can not reach the homeostasis phase and performing an even bigger tissue damage. Purpose. The aim of this study is to know about the expression of of TGF-ß and MMP-1 during the periapical tissue damage due to induction of E.faecalis. Method. This study used laboratory experimental with the post test only control group design. A total of 27 male rats were randomly divided into 3 main groups. Group A (negative control) : every tooth was’nt induced by anything. Group B ( positive control): every tooth was induced only by sterile BHIb and closed by GIC Fuji II as the final restoration. Group C (: every tooth was induced by 10 μl BHI-b E.faecalis ATCC212(106 CFU), and closed by GIC Fuji II as the final restoration. The animals were sacrificed after 21 days and prepared for histological examination of tissue damage, then we did the immunohistochemistry followed by calculation on the light microscope. Result. The analysis revealed that the expression of MMP-1 increased significantly in group C when E.faecalis was induced. When expression of TGF-ß decreaced significantly in group C rather than group B. Conclusion. From this study we know that the expression of TGF-ß and MMP-1 are make opposite pathway due to chronic apical periodontitis that induced by E.faecalis.
Background: Damage to porcelain restorations such as fractures requires a repair that can be performed either directly or indirectly. Direct repair involves directly performing restoration of fractured porcelain with a composite resin application. This technique has more advantages than indirect repair because it requires no laboratory work and can be completed during a single visit. Silane, on the other hand, has been widely used and is reported to increase porcelain and composite resin attachments during the direct repair process. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in shear bond strength between porcelain and composite resin during the administering of 4% and 19.81% silane. Methods: 27 porcelain samples were divided into three groups, namely: Group A - 4% silane, Group B - 19.81% silane and Group C - no silane, prior to the application of composite resin. Each sample was tested for shear bond strength by means of Autograph and fracture analysis performed through stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope tests. Data analysis was subsequently performed using an ANOVA test. Results: There was a significant difference between the three groups with p=0.000 (p<0.005). The lowest bond strength was found in the group without silane, while the highest was in the group with 4% silane (p<0.005). Conclusion: The use of 4% silane can produce the highest shear bond strength of porcelain and resin composite.
