The special scanning ion microprobe instrumentation permitted the recording of element-resolved images with a lateral resolution of about 50 nm. Sharp distribution micrographs were obtained for Ca+, F- and CN-, and in selected specimens for Na+, K+, Mg+, O-, Cl-, C- and PO-. Several trends in the elemental kinetics of mineralization were comprehensively illustrated and new aspects were indicated. The paper points out the broad scope of interest, and the potentialities of unique applications, in SIMS imaging of biomineralized tissues, the conditions for efficient employment of the recently developed technique are briefly discussed and demonstrated.

To accomplish this, fluorescence spectrophotometry was evaluated as an appropriate technique for the identification of six organic substances (methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, hydroquinone, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol) that were eluted from resin composite material stored for 24 h or 6 months at pH 4.0, 6.0 or 8.0. In addition, complementary analyses (solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) were carried out to identify and quantify the substances. The main substances leached from the resin composite were methacrylic acid, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate and hydroquinone. It was concluded that fluorescence spectrophotometry seems to be a suitable, non-destructive technique for the qualitative analysis of eluted organic components. Critical combinations of time and pH allowed the elution of several organic substances, predominantly methacrylic acid, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate and hydroquinone, from the model resin composite, Z-100.

It was demonstrated that the basis for the establishment of the diagnosis varied among different dentists and physicians, and that the diagnostic parameters studied among the children varied. The most reliable parameters for HP included raised levels of phosphoethanolamine in urine, and clinical and radiologic findings associated with the legs. These findings were found among the children more often than lowered values of alkaline phosphatase in serum. Histologic analysis of an extracted tooth made a valuable diagnostic complement. It is concluded that a better diagnostic uniformity is recommended. In a well functioning collaboration with well defined tasks, both dentists and physicians can contribute to a reliable diagnosis.

Demineralized and non-demineralized dentin blocks and granules from human premolars were implanted into cavities prepared on the lateral aspects of the tibias of rabbits. After a healing period of six months, micro-implants were installed at each surgical site. Histological examinations were carried out after 24 weeks. Characterization of the EDTA-conditioned dentin blocks was performed by means of light microscopy, dental X-rays, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). No implants were found to be integrated in direct contact with the dentin particles or blocks. On the EDTA-conditioned dentin surface, the organic marker ...

A comparison of the ability to assess resorptions on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) radiographs is, hitherto, lacking. The aims of this study were to evaluate the accuracy of 2D (periapical radiographs, PA and panoramic radiograph, PAN) and 3D (cone beam computed tomography, CBCT) radiographic techniques in measuring slanted root resorptions compared to the true resorptions, a histological gold standard, in addition to a comparison of all the radiographic techniques to each other. Radiographs (CBCT, PA, and PAN), in addition to histological sections, of extracted deciduous canines from thirty-four patients were analyzed. Linear measurements of the most and least resorbed side of the root, i.e., "slanted" resorptions, were measured using an analyzing software (Facad ®). For classification of slanted root resorptions, a modified Malmgren index was used. PAN underestimated ...

The technique is based on a computerised induction analysis of data obtained by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). When comparing the present data with an earlier study from our laboratory, it became evident that with only a moderate increase in the amount of data for the induction analysis, the results increased very considerably in reliability and precision. The patterns of co-variation between different elements differed between the bulk- and surface enamel. Only Mg expressed a similar pattern. In the bulk enamel the elements Na and P expressed a high degree of co-variation. Similarly, Mg and C expressed a high degree of co-variation. Mg was an element often found to co-vary with bulk enamel elements. In the enamel surface, F and Cl co-varied. In addition, Cl was an element often found to co-vary with other enamel surface elements.

The NCP content of rat bone was found to be similar to that of rat dentin in several respects but different in others. The soluble NCPs of bone fell into four categories: acidic glycoproteins, gamma-carboxyglutamate-containing proteins, phosphoproteins, and proteoglycans. With the exception of the gamma-carboxyglutamate-containing proteins, the majority of NCPs had apparent molecular weights exceeding 50,000. As in rat dentin, several gamma-carboxyglutamate-containing proteins could be demonstrated in rat bone. Earlier studies have only taken one molecular species into consideration. No highly phosphorylated phosphoprotein could be demonstrated in bone. However, at least two phosphoproteins with a low degree of phosphorylation were found to be pre...

Mechanisms for the transport of Ca2+ ions have been identified and characterized in detail for various types of cells. Surprisingly little is known about osteoblasts and odontoblasts in this respect. This paper reviews what is known about calcium metabolism during dentinogenesis.

The material consisted of 123 primary teeth from 98 Danish children aged 9-108 months (mean age 33.5 +/- 19.7 months) at the time of injury. The specimens were analyzed by means of light and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Data from the clinical investigation and from predetermined ranked parameters from the histological analysis were processed in a computerized inductive analysis program. The results, describing patterns of co-variation, are presented as a decision tree. The most common diagnosis was intrusion luxation (54%). In 41% of all teeth, the degree of obliteration was less than 1/4 of the pulpal lumen. In most cases (79%), no denticles were visible. When present, 80% of the denticles had a bone-like appearance. Tissues occluding the pulpal lumen we...

Extracted teeth mounted in a semielastic material were subjected to stripping by different kinds of steel strips. The treated enamel surfaces were then polished in several different ways. The effects were studied by SEM and profilometry. It was concluded that the coarsest strips produced irregularities of such a magnitude that polishing had very limited effect. Polishing starting with coarse polishing strips followed by gradually finer gave the best result. An increase in number of strokes and use of all grades of polishing strips slightly improved the result.

By means of micro-electrode technique, the pH and pCa (calcium ion activity) in predentin in situ were found to be 7.0 and 2.9, respectively. It was concluded that there exists a Ca2+ion concentrating mechanism over the odontoblast layer in direction towards the mineralization front. The kinetics of this calcium flow was determined in vivo by radiotracer technique. The time for 45Ca2+ uptake into the dentin mineral phase was determined to 10-15 min. Transmembraneous Ca2+ ion pumps and channels in odontoblasts were further analyzed. The resting membrane potential of rat incisor odontoblasts was determined to -24 mV. Using ion-specific mini-electrode technique as well as fluorescence spectrophotometry, calcium channels, Ca(2+)-ATPase and Na+/Ca2+ antiports, responsible...

For this purpose, it is essential to have reference material. The aim of this study was to, by means of X-ray micro analyses (XRMA) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), present concentration gradients for C, O, P and Ca and F, Na, Mg, Cl, K and Sr in normal enamel of primary teeth from healthy individuals. 36 exfoliated primary teeth from 36 healthy children were collected, sectioned, and analyzed in the enamel and dentin with X-ray micro analyses for the content of C, O, P and Ca and F, Na MgCl, K and Sr. This study has supplied reference data for C, O, P and Ca in enamel in primary teeth from healthy subjects. No statistically significant differences in the elemental composition were found between incisors and molars.The ratio Ca/P is in concordance with other studies. ...
