Background: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of lidocaine (LD) topical anesthetic spray against oral microflora. Methods: Antimicrobial effects of 10% LD spray were assessed against six bacterial cultures obtained from volunteers: Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus sanguinis. The filter papers contained $50-{\mu}l$ LD, brain heart infusion (BHI) broth, or 0.2% chlorhexidine. Papers were placed on the cultured blood plates for 1-3 min. After the papers were removed, plates were incubated for 24 h. Bacterial growth on the contact areas was recorded as the antimicrobial score. The split mouth technique was use in for sample collection in clinical study. Filter papers soaked with either BHI broth or LD were placed on the right or left buccal mucosa for 1 min, and replaced with other papers to imprint biofilms onto the contact areas. Papers were placed on blood plates, incubated for 24 h, and antimicrobial scores were determined. Experiments were conducted for 2- and 3-min exposure times with a 1-day washout period. Results: LD exhibited bactericidal effects against E. coli, S. sanguinis, and S. salivarius within 1 min but displayed no effect against S. aureus, E. faecalis, and S. pyogenes. The antimicrobial effect of LD on oral microflora depended upon exposure time, similar to the results obtained from the clinical study (P < 0.05). LD showed 60-95% biofilm reduction on buccal mucosa. Conclusions: Antimicrobial activity of 10% LD topical anesthetic spray was increased by exposure time. The 3 min application reduced oral microflora in the buccal mucosa.

Candida albicans is now well recognized among the denture stomatitis patients. The broth macrodilution test is the most widely used technique for antifungal susceptibility testing. The purpose of this study was to determine the C. albicans carrier rate of the denture patients in Iksan, chonbuk. To determine the C. albicans carrier rate of denture patients, culture were made from 227 sample taken in Iksan, Chonbuk during July 1997 to August 1997. Also activities of amphotericin B and miconzole against isolates of denture patients of C. albicans were tested by broth macrodilution test using RPMI medium 1640. The results were as follows : First C. ablicans was isolated from 6.6% of denture patients samples and the frequency of isolation fo C. albicans was highest(50%) in the age group of 71-year-old to 80-year-old denture patients. Second, against C. albicans, the MIC range of amphotericn B was $0.06{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/ml$. MIC50 and MIC90 were $0.13{\mu}g/ml$ and $0.25{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Third, the MIC range of miconazole was $10-{\ge}20{\mu}g/ml$ and MIC50 and MIC90 were $20{\mu}g/ml$ and ${\ge}20{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. It was concluded from this study that C. albicans acrriages from healthy denture individuals only over 60-year-old ages were isolated, they remain susceptible to amphotericin B and not rarely resistant to miconzole.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the diagnostic tools available for assessing maxillary transverse deficiencies. Methods: An electronic search of three databases was performed from their date of establishment to April 2015, with manual searching of reference lists of relevant articles. Articles were considered for inclusion if they reported the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic method or evaluation technique for maxillary transverse dimensions in mixed or permanent dentitions. Risk of bias was assessed in the included articles, using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool-2. Results: Nine articles were selected. The studies were heterogeneous, with moderate to low methodological quality, and all had a high risk of bias. Four suggested that the use of arch width prediction indices with dental cast measurements is unreliable for use in diagnosis. Frontal cephalograms derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were reportedly more reliable for assessing intermaxillary transverse discrepancies than posteroanterior cephalograms. Two studies proposed new three-dimensional transverse analyses with CBCT images that were reportedly reliable, but have not been validated for clinical sensitivity or specificity. No studies reported sensitivity, specificity, positive or negative predictive values or likelihood ratios, or ROC curves of the methods for the diagnosis of transverse deficiencies. Conclusions: Current evidence does not enable solid conclusions to be drawn, owing to a lack of reliable high quality diagnostic studies evaluating maxillary transverse deficiencies. CBCT images are reportedly more reliable for diagnosis, but further validation is required to confirm CBCT's accuracy and diagnostic superiority.

Purpose: The aims of the present study were to compare the image quality and visibility of tooth cracks between conventional methods and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to develop an automatic detection technique for tooth cracks by SS-OCT imaging. Methods: We evaluated SS-OCT with a near-infrared wavelength centered at 1,310 nm over a spectral bandwidth of 100 nm at a rate of 50 kHz as a new diagnostic tool for the detection of tooth cracks. The reliability of the SS-OCT images was verified by comparing the crack lines with those detected using conventional methods. After performing preprocessing of the obtained SS-OCT images to emphasize cracks, an algorithm was developed and verified to detect tooth cracks automatically. Results: The detection capability of SS-OCT was superior or comparable to that of trans-illumination, which did not discriminate among the cracks according to depth. Other conventional methods for the detection of tooth cracks did not sense initial cracks with a width of less than $100{\mu}m$. However, SS-OCT detected cracks of all sizes, ranging from craze lines to split teeth, and the crack lines were automatically detected in images using the Hough transform. Conclusions: We were able to distinguish structural cracks, craze lines, and split lines in tooth cracks using SS-OCT images, and to automatically detect the position of various cracks in the OCT images. Therefore, the detection capability of SS-OCT images provides a useful diagnostic tool for cracked tooth syndrome.

Fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was used to evaluate the effects of chlorpromazine HCl on the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structure of the synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV) isolated from a bovine brain. In a dose-dependent manner, chlorpromazine HCl increased the anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy ($r_{\infty}$) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the membranes. Cationic 1-[4-(trimethylammonio)-phenyl]-6-phenylhexa-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) and anionic 3-[p-(6-phenyl)-1,3,5-hexatrienyl]-phenylpropionic acid (PRO-DPH) were utilized to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational mobility of the neuronal membranes. The anisotropy (r) of TMA-DPH in the inner monolayer was 0.034 greater than the value of PRO-DPH in the outer monolayer of the membranes. Both cationic TMA-DPH and anionic PRO-DPH were also used to examine the transbilayer asymmetric effects of chlorpromazine HCl on the range of rotational mobility of the membranes. Chlorpromazine HCl have a decreasing effects on the rotational mobility of the bulk bilayer structures and have a greater decreasing effect on the mobility of the inner monolayer as compared to the outer monolayer of the membranes. It has been proven that chlorpromazine HCl exhibit a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the SPMV.

PURPOSE. Post surface conditioning is necessary to expose the glass fibers to enable bonding between fiber post and resin cement. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different surface conditioning on tensile bond strength (TBS) of a glass fiber reinforced post to resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In this in vitro study, 40 extracted single canal central incisors were endodontically treated and post spaces were prepared. The teeth were divided into four groups according to the methods of post surface treatment (n=10): 1) Silanization after etching with 20% $H_2O_2$, 2) Silanization after airborne-particle abrasion, 3) Silanization, and 4) No conditioning (Control). Adhesive resin cement (Panavia F 2.0) was used for cementation of the fiber posts to the root canal dentin. Three slices of 3 mm thick were obtained from each root. A universal testing machine was used with a cross-head speed of 1 mm/minute for performing the push-out tests. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests were used for analyzing data (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. It is revealed that different surface treatments and root dentin regions had significant effects on TBS, but the interaction between surface treatments and root canal regions had no significant effect on TBS. There was significant difference among $H_2O_2$ + Silane Group and other three groups. CONCLUSION. There were significant differences among the mean TBS values of different surface treatments. Application of hydrogen peroxide before silanization increased the bond strength between resin cements and fiber posts. The mean TBS mean values was significantly greater in the coronal region of root canal than the middle and apical thirds.

정중과잉치의 원인은 잘 알려지지는 않았지만 dental lamina의 hyperactivity에 의해 발생한다는 가설이 가장 많이 받아들여지고 있다. 이러한 정중과잉치의 병발증으로는 주변 영구절치의 맹출 장애, 만곡 치근, 치근흡수, primordial 혹은 follicular cyst의 형성, 회전, 이환된 부위의 총생 및 비정상적인 정중이개를 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 영구전치의 회전이 야기되면 보통 공간의 부족은 적거나 없으며 재발이 흔하므로 과개선이 요구된다. 재발의 방지를 위해서는 조기치료, 과개선, 긴 보정기간, 적절한 접촉면의 형성, 짝힘의 사용, 그리고 수술적인 방법 등이 제안되어왔다. 이에 저자는 정중과잉치로 인하여 심하게 회전된 상악중절치를 주소로 내원한 환아에서 교정적, 외과적 술식을 이용하여 양호한 결과를 얻은 두 증례를 보고하는 바이다.
