    METODE DE ADMINISTRARE GENERAL AFLUORULUI

    n urma unor studii ample, s-a determinat cfluorul este singurul element mineral unanimcorelat cu rezistena la carie a dinilor.

    Prevenirea cariei dentare prin administrarea defluor reprezint modalitatea prin care s-au obinutcele mai importante rezultate.

    Ca urmare, administrarea fluorului se poaterealiza pe cale general i pe cale local.

    Dintre modalitile de administrare a fluorului, pecale general, cea mai indicat, (n special ca raportcost/eficien) este prin consumul de ap fluorizat.

    S-au fcut numeroase studii privind concen-traia optim a fluorului n ap, toate demonstrndca reducerea cea mai spectaculoas a incideneicariei se produce pn la o concentraie de 1 ppm,concentraie la care leziunile distrofice de fluorozsunt rare i de minim gravitate.

    O sintez a 95 de studii din 20 de ri, realizaten condiii diferite privind eficacitatea preveniriicariei dentare la copii prin fluorizarea apei, arat

    o reducere cu peste 40% a cariilor dinilor per-maneni (Naylor i Murray-1976).De asemenea fluorul prezint o aciune benefic

    i asupra persoanelor adulte rezidente permanentntr-o localitate cu ap fluorizat. La acestea s-aconstatat o reducere cu 45% a numrului de su-prafee cariate comparativ cu o populaie ce con-sum ap cu un coninut sczut de fluor.

    Astfel se poate concluziona c fluorizarea apeiare un efect protectiv substanial i de durat.

    Fluorizarea apei, combinat cu celelalte msuri

    preventive a redus prevalena cariei cu circa 75%n general, iar pentru suprafeele aproximale chiarcu 90%.

    La adulii cu vrsta ntre 20-44 ani s-a estimatn urma consumului de ap fluorizat o reducere

    cu 20-30% a cariilor coronare i o reducerecuprins ntre 20-40% a cariilor radiculare.

    De asemenea, s-a demonstrat c fluorul pre-zint efectul cariopreventiv cel mai mare pesuprafeele libere 86%, apoi pe suprafeeleaproximale 75%, iar cel mai mic efect cario-preventiv l prezint la nivelul anurilor i fo-setelor ocluzale 31%.

    Toate aceste date i-au permis lui Horowitz safirme c fluorizarea apei asigur beneficii tuturorpersoanelor dentate de-a lungul ntregii viei.

    O alt metod de administrare general afluorului este prin fluorizarea srii de buctrie cese realizeaz cu 200-250 mg fluorur de Na la1kg de sare, asigurndu-se astfel un aport de pnla 2 mg Fluor la un consum mediu de 6g sare/zi.

    Fluorizarea srii de buctrie nu necesit dect3% din cantitatea de fluor necesar pentru fluori-zarea apei ns efectul carioprotectiv este ceva maisczut dect cel care se ntlnete n urma fluori-zrii apei potabile.

    Fluorizarea laptelui i a buturilor rcoritoareare de asemenea efecte carioprotective ns maisczute dect cele obinute n urma fluorizrii apeipotabile.

    Stephen (1981) a artat c un consum zilnic ncoal de 200 ml lapte cu coninut de 1,5 mg defluor pe timp de 4 ani a redus incidena cariei laprimii molari permaneni cu 34% comparativ culotul martor.

    De asemenea GEDALIA (1981) a raportat oreducere cu 28% a indicelui DMF S la copiii de

    6-9 ani care au consumat la coal 100 g suc deportocale coninnd 1 mg F (10 ppm) pe o perioadde 3 ani.

    n ceea ce privete fluorizarea alimentelor,aceasta prezint dezavantajul unui dozaj relativprin diferenele cantitative de ingestie alimentar

    ntre indivizi, iar compoziia deosebit a meniurilorface imposibil stabilirea unui echilibru de dozarea fluorului.

    O alt metod de administrare a fluorului pecale general este prin administrarea tabletelor isoluiilor ce conin fluor.

    n literatura de specialitate au aprut mai multearticole ce se refer la eficacitatea administrriitabletelor sau soluiilor, articole ce au fost sinteti-zate de ctre DRISCOL 1974 i BINDER 1978.

    Aceste cercetri pot fi mprite n trei grupedup modul de administrare:

    1. prenatal;2. nainte de vrsta colar;

    3. la coal i numai n timpul colii.

    1. Administrarea de fluor prenataleste beneficn profilaxia cariei la copii, n special pentru dentiiatemporar dar cele mai bune rezultate se obin daceste continuat prin administrare de fluor la copilct mai curnd dup natere.

    2. Potrivit diferitelor studii se arat c efectelecarioprotective mari (circa 50-80%) s-au obinutdac administrarea fluorului s-a nceput nainte devrsta de 2 ani.

    Efectele cele mai bune s-au obinut unde dozelede fluor au fost corelate cu concentraia fluoruluidin ap i cu vrsta copilului (HENON 1977).

    Studiile privind efectul administrrii fluoruluisub form de tablete sau soluii asupra dinilor per-maneni arat o reducere important a cariilor maiales dac administrarea s-a fcut de la natere celpuin 7 ani (ntre 39 i 80%).

    3. Administrarea tabletelor sau soluiilor cufluor n coal ncepnd cu clasa I (6-7 ani), cu o

    durat de minimum 5 ani s-a dovedit cario-preventiv n medie de 30% (DRISCOL 1978).Aceste cercetri arat fr nici un dubiu c

    folosirea tabletelor sau soluiilor este eficient nprevenirea cariilor dentare att la dinii temporarict i la cei permaneni.

    Dup vrsta de 2 ani este de preferat s seadministreze fluorul sub form de tablete, copilulfiind instruit s le sug seara, nainte de culcare,pentru a combina efectul general cu cel localasupra dinilor temporari.

    Se folosesc tablete de fluor: Concaden;Zymafluor; Law.

    Cu o cantitate de fluor de: 0,25 mg; 0,50 mg;0,75 mg; 1 mg

    Cantitatea de fluor administrat trebuie corelatcu:

    concentraia fluorului din apa potabil; vrsta copilului; zona climatic.Pentru zona de clim temperat, dac fluorul

    din apa potabil nu depete 0,4 ppm, se admi-nistreaz n funcie de greutatea copilului:

    de la natere pn la 10 kg 0,25 mg F/zi; de la 10 kg la 15 kg 0,5 mg F/zi; de la 15 kg la 20 kg 0,75 mg F/zi; peste 25 kg 1 mg F/zi.Pentru obinerea efectului cariostatic este ne-

    cesar aportul minim de 1,3 mg de fluor zilnic pecale general.

    Suplimentarea, indiferent de metod, se rapor-teaz la:

    concentraia din apa potabil; cantitatea de ap potabil consumat n

    medie pe zi; aportul mediu oferit prin alimente; concentraia din atmosfer, pentru zonele cu

    poluare fluorurat.Pentru a fi eficace metodele de administrare ge-

    neral trebuie: s foloseasc faza I (amelogenez i mine-

    ralizare); s se prelungeasc n faza a II-a (de maturare

    preeruptiv); s se prelungeasc chiar i la nceputul fazei

    a III-a (posteruptiv) cnd se completeazmaturarea superficial a smalului.

    Programul complet ncepe prin administrareazilnic de fluor la femeia gravid ncepnd cu lunaa IV-a de sarcin i pn la natere, se continuadministrarea la copil ncepnd ct mai aproapede momentul naterii, zilnic, pn la vrsta de 12-14ani, fr ntrerupere.

    Administrarea numai n prima faz (0-6 ani)sau numai n a II-a faz (6-12 ani) reduce multeficacitatea cu perspectiva de a se pierde efectul

    n timp.Dac se respect programul complet (cel puin

    de la 0 la 12 ani) n toate metodele se obin rezul-tate egale.

    Diferenele sunt doar n privina costului, uu-rina de administrare i posibilitile de abordare aunor colectiviti ct mai mari.

    METODE DE FLUORIZARE LOCAL

    Fluorizarea local se poate realiza profesionaldar i personal.

    Fluorizarea local profesional se poaterealiza cu ajutorul soluiilor simple de NaF sau SnF,soluiilor sau gelurilor cu un pH acid, pastelorprofilactice cu fluor i lacurilor cu fluor.

    Dintre soluiile cu fluor utilizate n fluorizareaprofesional local, se folosesc:

    a. Fluorura de sodiu 2% ce este cea maiuzual soluie pentru aplicaii topice pe dinii curai(fr plac bacterian) de 2-4 ori pe an.

    b. Fluorura de staniu este de 3 ori maieficient n scderea solubilitii smalului la aciziislabi comparativ cu soluia de NaF.

    Gelurile de fluor utilizate n fluorizarea localprofesional s-au obinut prin adugarea n soluiia unor ageni de gelificare, cum ar fi metil, hidro-ximetil celuloz.

    Din aceast categorie fac parte gelul de fluoro-

    rtofosfat ce este uor de utilizat ntr-un confor-mator individual, nu provoac salivaie sau sen-zaie de vom pentru c nu se rspndete n cavi-tatea bucal i are proprieti tixotropice, adic,se transform n soluie sub aciunea presiunii,ptrunznd astfel n anuri i fosete.

    n cazul aplicrilor bianuale reducerea cariiloreste de 20-40%.

    Alturi de acesta, se mai utilizeaz i gelul defluorur de amin ce reduce solubilitatea smaluluii uureaz prin proprietile lui tensioactive,fixarea de fluor la suprafeele dentare.

    Un astfel de gel este gelul ELMEX ce se aplico dat pe sptmn pe suprafeele dinilor, cuajutorul unei canule adaptate la sering, lsndu-se 2-3 minute n contact cu dinii, dup care serealizeaz periajul.

    Lacurile cu fluor au fost realizate pentru a re-duce timpul de aplicare, pentru a simplifica tehnicai pentru a crete timpul de contact al fluorului cusuprafeele dinilor.

    Produsele cele mai cunoscute sunt: DURAPHAT ce conine 2,26% F subform de NaF, ntr-o soluie alcoolic derini naturale, el adernd uor pe supra-feele umede ale dinilor;

    ELMEX PROTECTOR ce conineaminofluoruri ncorporate ntr-un lac depoliuretan autopolimerizabil;

    EPOZYLATE ce este un lac protector delung durat i are ncorporat monofluordisodic ntr-un lac de poliuretan auto-

    polimerizabil.

    n ceea ce privete eficiena acestora, s-aconstatat c, aplicate pe o perioad mai mare detimp i prin aplicri mai frecvente se obine oreducere a incidenei cariei ntre 30 i 38%, fiindla fel de eficiente ca i soluiile i gelurile fluoru-rate.

    Aplicaiile topice prin ionoforez reprezint ceamai eficace metod de prevenire prin aplicaiitopice de fluor prin faptul c prin aciunea curen-tului de joas tensiune, ionul de fluor este forats ptrund n cantitate mare i la o adncime maimare, inclusiv pe feele aproximale, n structurasmalului.

    n acest fel se aplic soluiile de fluorur desodiu 1% sau de fluorortofosfat 1,4% n ine sau

    n gutiere standard sau individuale, conectate la oinstalaie simpl cu baterii electrice, ns metoda

    este costisitoare i dificil de aplicat n colectiviti.Fluorizarea local personal se realizeaz de

    ctre pacient cu ajutorul pastelor de dini fluoruratei cu aminofluoruri i prin cltiri bucale.

    Exist ns rezerve n ceea ce privete folosireapastelor de dini cu coninut ridicat de fluor la copii

    n cursul mineralizrii i maturrii smalului dinilorpermaneni, n special n zonele fr deficit defluor n apa potabil, din cauza posibilitii deapariie a fluorozei.

    n ceea ce privete cltirile bucale, acestea serealizeaz cu ajutorul unor:

    soluii de NaF neutrale n concentraii de la500 ppm la 3 000 ppm;

    soluii acidulate de NaF; soluii cu fluoruri de staniu, amoniu, fier,

    aluminiu.Cercettorii care au testat mai multe soluii cu

    fluor (TAVEL i ERICSON1965) au ajuns laconcluzia c se obin rezultate pozitive cu oricaredin aceste combinaii, eficacitatea depinznd de

    concentraia n ion de fluor, i timpul de contactcu suprafeele dentare.n general se obine o reducere de peste 30%

    n aplicaii zilnice timp de mai muli ani, ns nuse recomand la copii sub 5 ani care pot nghii ocantitate din soluie cu posibilitatea de supradozarea fluorului ingerat.

    n tabelul urmtor sunt reprezentate substanelepe baz de fluor care sunt utilizate pentru aplicaiiprofesionale sau la domiciliu.

    Pentru a putea considera apariia sensibilitiidentinare ca un eec al restaurrilor adezive, tre-buie s eliminm a priori printr-un diagnosticdiferenial toate celelalte cauze posibile, precum:fracturi, fisuri, leziuni carioase, parodontite apicale,eroziuni cuneiforme, abrazii.

    Dei mecanismele fiziopatologice de producerea sensibilitii dentinare nu sunt complet elucidate,ipoteza hidrodinamica a lui Brannstrom este mpr-

    tit de un numr foarte mare de studii recente(1,2).Din punct de vedere clinic, manifestrile de

    sensibilitate post operatorie, dup restaurri adezive,apar ntr-o relaie evident cu pierderea etaneitiimarginale. Principalele cauze ale acestei sensibilitipot fi grupate n umtoarele patru grupe de cauze:

    1. Cauze legate de materialul de obturaiecompozit

    n cazul compozitelor, principala cauz carepoate duce la apariia sensibilitii postoperatorii

    este contracia de polimerizare, care poate variantre 1.5-5% n volum (3,4). Contracia compozi-telor poate avea urmatoarele efecte:

    Tensiuni la nivelul esuturilor dentare, carepot antrena flexiuni ale cuspizilor, slbireaprismelor de smal i poate merge pan lafisuri sau fracturi.

    Pierderea adaptrii marginale cu apariiaunor hiatusuri ce favorizeaz percolaia mar-ginal. Aceasta se manifest clinic sub formde sensibilitate postopeatorie, carii secun-dare marginale sau inflamaii pulpare.

    Contracii interne ale materialului de obtu-raie care poate produce fracturi in masacompozitului.

    Diminuarea rezistenei mecanice a compo-zitului.

    Posibilitile de prevenire constau n reducereaefectelor nedorite ale contraciei de polimerizarepe baza urmtoarelor proceduri:

    Folosirea unui adeziv cu ncrcturmineral mare.

    Aplicarea compozitului n straturi succesive

    ciment ionomer de sticl modificat

    (fotopolimerizabil)

    Utilizarea unui strat intern de compozit fluidcare permite diminuarea stresului decontracie cu circa 20-50% (4)

    Utilizarea unui compozit pe baz de siloran

    (Filtec Siloran -2M ESPE), care are uncoeficient redus de contracie de ordinul0.8% (relativ insuficient confirmat de studiileclinice).

    2. Cauze legate de mrimea cavitiiRestaurrile directe din materiale compozite au

    ca prim indicaie cavitile coronare de mrimemic i mijlocie. n cazul unor caviti de mrimemare, cu toate msurile de prevenie pe care leputem lua, apare totui o contracie a materialului

    de obturaie.Posibilitile de prevenire eficiente se bazeazpe recurgerea la metode indirecte de restaurare detip onlay, cimentat sau colat pe dinte (5).

    3. Cauze legate de adezivul folositAdezivii de generaia a 5-a, care conin ntr-un

    singur flacon primerul, rina adeziv i solventulsunt foarte uor de aplicat n practic, scurtandtimpul de lucru. Cerina acestui adeziv este s fieaplicat pe o dentin cu un anumit grad de umi-ditate. Dificultatea tehnica a medicului practician,const tocmai n realizarea acestei umiditi cares favorizeze ptrunderea optim n dentin aadezivului. Aplicarea greit poate duce la com-promiterea etaneitii marginale, sensibilitatedureroas, coloraii marginale inestetice sau chiarleziuni curioase secundare.

    Posibilitile de prevenire constau n recurgereala sisteme adezive cu autogravare, care reducconsiderabil riscul de aplicare pe o dentin cu umi-ditate nepotrivit (se nlatur etapa de uscare i

    splare a dentinei). n plus, acest sistem de auto-gravare nu nlatur detritusul dentinar remanentdin canaliculii dentinari (cepurile canaliculare), ci

    l blocheaz i stabilizeaz pe loc, ceea ce previnedeplasarea fluidului prin canaliculii dentinari.Aceasta explic n bun parte rata sczut a sensi-bilitatii dentinare, observat clinic la adezivii deacest tip (6,7).

    4. Cauze legate de polimerizareFolosirea unei surse de lumin pentru poli-

    merizarea compozitului determin o conrtacie depolimerizare a materialului, n direcia surseiluminoase (6,8). Aceast etap considerat demulte ori consumatoare de timp, a dus la apariiaunor lampi cu timpi de expunere tot mai sczui.

    Studiile recente asupra fotopolimerizrii com-pozitelor au artat ca retraciile de polimerizarenu sunt ntr-o legtur liniar direct cu timpul deexpunere i cu intensitea luminoas. n consecin,un timp de expunere mai lung i o intensitate maisczut, determin o rat de polimerizare mai mare

    decat un timp scurt cu o intenistate mare a luminii.Polimerizarea progresiv are repercursiuni bene-fice asupra calitii legturii compozit-esut dentar(7).

    Modalitile de prevenire a unor erori legatede fotopolimerizare au obiectivul de a realiza ocat mai bun legtur dinte-material de obturaiei pot fi obinute prin:

    INTRODUCTION

    Oral Health and Glycemic Control

    For the diabetic patient, tremendous impro-vements in health and quality of life are therewards of maintaining life-long normoglycemia.

    (1-2) The American Diabetes Association Stan-dards of Medical Care (2006) recommend diabeticpatients strive to maintain the HbA1c 7 but < 9%) and severelyelevated (>9%) were randomized to one of two non-surgical periodontal therapy protocols. Patients in the minimal therapy (MT)group received scaling, root planning, and oral hygiene instructions on two occasions six months apart. Participants randomizedto the frequent therapy (FT) protocol received scaling, root planing, and oral hygiene instructions at two-month intervals andwere provided a 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse for home use twice daily. Neither systemic nor local antibiotics were provided to eithergroup. Subjects were asked to report any changes in diabetic medications, nutrition, and physical activity. Data analyses (ANOVA,t-test, Mann-Whitney) grouped subjects according to baseline HbA1c (>7 and < 9%, or > 9%), treatment protocol (minimal orfrequent), and +/- medication change.Results: In both MT and FT groups the clinical attachment level (CAL) remained unchanged but the other measures [gingivalindex (GI) and pocket dept (PD)] of periodontal health improved. Mean reductions in plaque showed improvement but calculuswas worse in the FT group, likely due to the use of chlorhexidine. At six months, the largest reduction of HbA1c was 3.7;experienced by a subject receiving FT but no changes in diabetic medication. Among the MT and no medication change subjects,the maximum reduction was 1.6.Overall mean reduction in HbA1c of 27 subjects with baseline HbA1c >9.0 and no medication change was 0.6 with no statisticaldifference between the MT and FT groups. Among the medication-change subjects with baseline HbA1c >9.0, mean reduction of1.38 was seen with FT compared to 1.10 with MT.Conclusion: Overall, modest improvements in HbA1c were detected with a trend towards FT being better than MT. Although thispilot trial was under-powered to detect small between-group differences, the magnitude of our findings (0.6 mean improvement inHbA1c) matches closely findings from the only meta-analysis conducted on this topic to date. Larger scale studies must beundertaken on diabetic patients with periodontal problems.Clinical Significance: Preventive periodontal regimens for diabetic patients should be sufficiently intense and sustained toeliminate periodontal inflammation and should be closely coordinated with the patients overall clinical diabetic management.

    mortality in Pima Indians is elevated 3.2 fold (95%CI 1.1-9.3) in those with severe periodontaldisease. (23)

    Excellent glycemic control is achieved withstrict regimens of diet, exercise, weight loss,avoidance of infections, fastidious self-care,

    avoidance of tobacco, medication adjustments,frequent medical attention, and self-monitoring ofblood glucose levels using home glucometers.Emerging evidence suggests the reduction ofperiodontal inflammation may be one additionalstrategy in reducing HbA1c. (29-31) When a seriesof studies of various sizes were subjected to asystematic review and meta-analysis, periodontalintervention reduced HbA1c by 0.66 in type 2diabetic patients. (31)

    For this pilot study, a small number of diabetic

    patients with elevated HbA1c were recruited.Because subjects with moderate and severe perio-dontitis were excluded, the use of antibiotics duringthis short-term intervention was avoided. Chlor-hexidine gluconate was the sole chemotherapeuticagents tested because it has been shown to beeffective in managing gingivitis. (32-35)

    METHODS AND MATERIALS

    With approval from the Oregon Health andScience University Institutional Review Board,eligible subjects were recruited using flyers andadvertisements in newspapers in the greaterPortland area. A screening oral examination, me-dical history review, and blood sample to deter-mine HbA1c were carried out to confirm eligibility(see Table 1 for inclusion and exclusion criteria)and to answer participant questions about thestudy. Fifty eligible, consenting subjects wererandomized (by flip of a coin) to either the minimal

    therapy (MT) or frequent therapy (FT) groups. Thetreatment groups were balanced for gender only.Following the pre-treatment assessment, all

    subjects were provided with oral home careinstructions, oral prophylaxes including scaling,and root planing was limited to the inflamedperiodontal pockets with clinical attachment loss.These services were provided in one appointmentwhich varied in time between 60 and 90 minutes.Control subjects were recalled for oral hygieneinstructions and oral prophylaxes with scaling and

    localized root planing at one six-month interval.FT subjects were recalled for oral prophylaxes withlocalized scaling. Localized root planing and oralhygiene instruction every two months (four

    sessions total) were provided at no cost and 0.12%chlorhexidine gluconate rinse (Peridex, ZilaPharmaceuticals) was given for twice daily, 30second, oral rinsing. All treatment provided in thisprotocol was delivered by the research dentalhygienist, and all periodontal evaluations were

    performed by a graduate periodontology residentwho was blinded to the subjects group assignment.

    The weight and medical history of each par-ticipant was updated at each appointment toidentify factors that might impact glycemic controlwithin the six weeks preceding the serological andperiodontal data collection. These specific factorsincluded: weight gain or loss, infections, illnesses,the use of antibiotics, steroids, or any other newmedications that are known to interfere with bloodglucose control. All subjects were also interviewed

    to gather information on exercise levels andfrequency of glucose monitoring and medications.HbA1c was measured at baseline, six months, andeight months following randomization and repre-sented the primary endpoint in this investigation.

    The study also evaluated the severity of perio-dontal disease in subjects using several indices oforal health at baseline, six months, and eightmonths. Inflammation (GI), clinical attachmentloss (CAL), probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI),and calculus index (CI) all were quantified. PI andCI scores were quantified using indices in whichthe four smooth surfaces of all existing teeth arescored and a percentage of surfaces with plaqueor calculus are recorded. The Le and Silness GI36(Table 2) was used to assess inflammation of thegingiva on the mesial, distal, buccal, and lingualsurfaces of the Ramfjord index teeth (#3, 9, 12,19, 25, and 28).37

    The GI procedure consisted of inserting acalibrated periodontal probe no more than 2 mm

    into the gingival sulcus, starting just distal to themidpoint of the buccal surface, then moving theprobe tip gently into the mesial interproximal area.CAL and PD were measured at six sites for theindex teeth using the Michigan Probe calibratedin 2 mm increments. Because PD recordings canvary significantly according to positions of theprobe tip, all probing and recession measurementswere completed and then repeated for a secondset of measurements. Where there was a differencebetween these two readings, the two numbers were

    averaged.In the FT group mouth rinse compliance was

    evaluated by questioning the participants and bymeasuring remaining rinse in the bottles returnedat the follow-up appointments.

    ANALYTICAL AND STATISTICAL METHODS

    Data from baseline, six month, and eight monthfollow-up evaluations were summarized for eachoral health variable by calculating means andstandard deviations. Significant differences in oralhealth indices between the FT, enhanced oraltreatment regimen, and the control regimen overtime were calculated by using the Students t-testanalysis for continuous data (PD, CAL) and the

    Mann-Whitney test for non-parametric data (PI,CI, GI, and HbA1c). The main point of interest,the influence of dental treatment on the metabolicindicator, was analyzed using a mixed betweenwithin subjects analysis of variance (ANOVA) to

    test whether there were effects due to treatmentgroup, time of examination, or interaction of thesetwo independent variables.

    Using the upper limit of the average HbA1clevel in type 2 diabetes in the United States (9.0)as a defining value, subjects in each group weredivided into those who had baseline levels above9.0 from those below 9.0. This data was analyzedfor improvement in HbA1c at six and eight months.Those subjects undergoing physicianadviseddiabetic medication changes during the studyperiod were grouped separately. Obviouslyimprovements in HbA1c cannot be attributedsolely to the periodontal intervention in thesesubjects.

    RESULTSThe study enrolled 50 subjects who met the

    inclusion/exclusion criteria at baseline andrandomized 25 to the control treatment group and25 to the FT group. Two subjects passed-awayfor reasons unrelated to the study. Six subjects werewithdrawn from the study due to violations in theinclusion/exclusion criteria, such as smoking. Ofthe 42 remaining subjects who completed thestudy, 15 had their diabetes medications changed

    at the advice of their physicians. There were 27subjects who did not have diabetic medicationchanges. No subjects needed to be omitted fromthe analysis because of significant changes in diet,weight, or exercise habits.

    Figure 1 and Table 3 demonstrate the changesthat were observed in the oral health variables.With the exception of CAL, all oral healthmeasurements demonstrated significant (p 9, it must beassumed the medication change influenced theseresults. In the HbA1c > 9 subjects with no medi-cation change about half as much improvementin HbA1c was seen at six months. Mean reduc-tions of 0.58 (FT) and 0.64 (MT) were encouraging

    but do not indicate more periodontal therapy isbetter as had been expected.

    DISCUSSION

    As expected, the periodontal health of allsubjects improved; the FT subjects demonstratedgreater improvements in PD, PI, and GI comparedto MT subjects, and no changes in CAL occurredbecause very few (n=3) baseline pocket depthswere greater than 3 mm. Increased levels of

    calculus in the FT groups is certainly explainedby their use of chlorhexidine. (35)

    Diabetic subjects entering the study withHbA1c levels above 9.0 experienced a trendtoward greater HbA1c reductions than those withlevels below 9.0 at baseline, regardless of the studycondition to which they were exposed. These sub-

    jects experienced 0.6 reduction in HbA1c, whichis similar to other periodontal interventions of thisnature. (38-40) However, because of the smallsamples sizes, the differences between groups didNOT reach statistical significance. At the eighthmonth follow-up, mean HbA1c in all groups gravi-tated toward return to baseline levels as has beenseen in other periodontal and diabetes studies.(30,4,42)

    Sample size presented the major flaw in thisstudy and was exacerbated by the need to accom-

    modate statistically for 15 subjects (nine in the FTand six in the MT groups) undergoing changes intheir diabetes medications. In addition, as this studywas being completed, results of a systematic reviewof like studies indicate much larger samples sizes

    are needed to determine what intensity and durationof periodontal therapy is needed to answer thequestion, particularly when the severity ofperiodontitis is mild. (31)

    Other modest limitations of this study includefailure to have a non-treatment control group,failure to provide placebo rinse to the MT group,measuring GI and CAL only on the six Ramfjordteeth (39) instead of the entire dentition, andinherent difficulties blinding an examiner whenchlorhexidine stain is present. As in alluniversitybased studies, the results may not be asgeneralizable to real world patients as would bethe results from practice-based and community-based studies.

    With the limitations noted, a reduction of 0.6

    (or 6%) HbA1c should be considered clinicallydesirable in a given patient with mild periodontalinflammation. As little as a 1% decrease in HbA1chas been shown to reduce myocardial infarctionsby 14%, (46) and a 1% elevation in HbA1c results

    (or approximately 19%). (1-2,10,21) Thesereductions are comparable to periodontalintervention studies of severe periodontitis patientswhich yield HbA1c reduction (up to 17.1%) whenusing antibiotics with special populations moreseverely affected by periodontitis and diabetes,such as Pima Indians and US Veterans. (23,30)

    Clearly, the modest, short-term improvementin metabolic control achieved with a group ofdiabetic patients with fairly good oral health points

    to the need to perform a larger-scale, longertermstudy with diabetic patients who have more seriousinflammatory and infectious oral diseases. Whileit is likely practicing dentists and physicians areintuitively aware that alleviation of oral diseaseand the associated infection has a beneficial effecton metabolic control of diabetes, the magnitude

    of this effect and its long-term sequelae needadditional documentation.

    CONCLUSION

    Overall, modest improvements in HbA1c weredetected with a trend towards FT being better thanMT. Although this pilot trial was under-poweredto detect small between-group differences, themagnitude of our findings (0.6 mean improvementin HbA1c) matches closely findings from the onlymeta-analysis conducted on this topic to date.Larger scale studies must be undertaken ondiabetic patients with periodontal problems.

    CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

    Preventive periodontal regimens for diabeticpatients should be sufficiently intense and sustainedto eliminate periodontal inflammation and shouldbe closely coordinated with the patients overallclinical diabetic management.

    INTRODUCTION

    Alginate-based impression materials have beenused in dentistry since 1947. (1) Originally usedas precision impression materials in fixedprosthodontics1 they are more commonly used forthe initial impression to obtain a preliminary modelused for diagnostic purposes, treatment planning,

    and for the fabrication of a provisional prosthesisor custom tray. The dimensional stability ofalginate-based impression materials has beenstudied since the 1970s.2 In particular, thephenomena of syneresis has received a greatamount of attention. (3-47) Syneresis is intendedas the expression of fluid onto the surface of gelstructures. (48) The clinical consequence is theshrinkage of the material due to the loss of waterby evaporation. (48) The actual ISO 156349 statesthe requirements for the alginate-based impression

    materials, however, no information is provided onthe methodological test valid for the evaluation oftheir dimensional stability. In recent years differenttests have been developed for analyzing this

    property. (4-6,36,42,50-54) The most commonone consists of taking the impression from amaster cast (usually made of acrylic or stainlesssteel) and measuring the discrepancy between thelatter and the obtained cast. Although themeasurement of a single die can be performed withgreater accuracy, (6) the distance between various

    dies is an important variable that should beconsidered in order to perform the test in clinicallyrelevant conditions. Shrinkage occurring in thepalatal zone of the impression might reduce thedistance between the teeth of different semi-arches.

    The aim of this study was to verify thedimensional stability of five different alginate-based impression materials stored in a 100%relative humidity environment after differentperiods of time. The null hypotheses tested were:

    (1) there is no difference in dimensional stabilityamong different alginate-based materials and (2)the dimensional stability is not affected by storagetime.

    ABSTRACT

    Aim: Several new irreversible hydrocolloid formulations have recently become available with claims of an improved dimensionalstability by the manufacturers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of casts made from alginate impression

    materials poured immediately and after specific storage periods.Methods and Materials: Five alginates were tested: CA 37 (Cavex); Jeltrate (Dentsply Caulk); Jeltrate Plus (Dentsply LatinAmerica); Hydrogum 5 (Zhermack); and Alginoplast (Heraeus Kulzer). A master model was mounted on a special device and usedto obtain the impressions. These impressions were stored at 23C and 100% relative humidity, then poured with gypsumimmediately, and again after 24, 72 and 120 hours. The casts were measured and the data were analyzed by one way analysis ofvariance (ANOVA) and Tukey test at p0.05).Conclusion: The dimensional stability of the alginate impressions is influenced by the selected material and the storage time.Clinical Significance: Alginate impressions should generally be poured immediately. However, some new types of alginate mayhave the pouring delayed.

    Key words: Alginate, hydrocolloid, impression, dimensional stability

    METHODS AND MATERIALS

    With the aim to reproduce the clinical conditions anew stainless steel testing device (TST) was developed(Figures 1 and 2). The TST consists of three parts: thebase, the master model, and the carrier.

    The base is a quadrangular block on which threepins are entirely engaged into three holes on thestainless steel standard tray. The device may beassembled and dissembled with precision bymeans of an accuracy engagement feature. On thebase, four studs allow the master model to slide.The master model consists in a quadrangular plateto which four cylinders are welded. The head ofeach cylinder was well-rounded and a truncatedcone with a global tapered shape of 6 wasobtained to simulate a clinical die. The lower

    corner of the truncated cone was considered to bethe finish line of the die. An acrylic resin modelwas prepared and fixed on the plate allowing theexposure of the head of the cylinder to simulatean upper arch with four dies in FDI World DentalFederation (FDI) tooth number positions 13, 23,17, and 27 (Figure 2). To leave a thickness ofapproximately 3 mm of alginate between the topof the dies and the tray, four stainless steel spacerswere machined and positioned on the studs of thebase. The carrier is a quadrangular plate on which

    four trapezoidal grooves are realized. The groovesare aimed at maintaining the cast obtained fromthe impression in a fixed and stable position.

    A total of 200 stainless steel standard non-perforated rimlock trays were prepared for theexperiment. In each tray three holes were drilledwith a numerical control machine (accuracy 0.01mm). Each tray was measured, and a performancetest was rendered to ensure a full engagement.

    Five alginates were selected: CA 37 (Cavex, Haarlem, Nederland) Jeltrate (Dentsply Caulk, Milford, DE, USA) Jeltrate Plus (Dentsply Latin America, Rio

    de Janeiro, Brazil) Hydrogum 5 (Zhermack Spa, Badia

    Polesine, Italy) Alginoplast (Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany)The alginate powder was stored for three days at

    231C and 5010% relative humidity in atemperature controlled-room. All the procedures

    were carried out in the same conditions. Four differentstorage times (0, 24, 72 and 120 hours) were testedby taking ten impressions for each period of time. Atotal of 20 groups were obtained (Table 1). The mastermodel was used as a control group.

    IMPRESSION PROCEDURE

    The tray was locked on the base, and an aerosoluniversal adhesive (Fix Adhesive, Dentsply DeTrey

    GmbH, Konstanz, Germany) was sprayed on thetray and left to dry for 5 minutes according to Leunget al. (9) A quantity of 30 g of powder was weighed(HP 5000 CE, Micron, Cavaria, Varese, Italy). Thecorresponding amount of distilled water wascalculated as indicated by the manufacturer andintroduced inside the cup (55) of an electronicvacuum mixing machine (Twister Evolution,Renfert, Hilzingen, Germany). The powder wasadded and immediately mixed by hand for 5seconds. The mechanical mixing was then

    performed under vacuum at 250 rpm for 30 secondswith a rotation sense inverted every 5 seconds.The resulting alginate was immediately placed

    in the locked tray, and the impression of the mastermodel was taken within the setting time indicatedby the manufacturer at 23C. Once set, the alginatewas trimmed at the border of the tray before theremoval to allow boxing of the impression duringpouring. The master model was gently separatedfrom the impression and the latter from the base.To simulate clinical conditions the impression was

    then immediately stored in a hermetic nylon bagin which a paper sheet (weight 5 g) wetted with30 g of distilled water had been inserted 10minutes before, according to Schleier et al. (6) Thepaper was positioned to avoid direct contact with

    Figure 1The master model mounted on the base.

    the tray and the alginate. (55) The bag wasimmediately introduced in a 3500 mL plasticstorage box in which another paper sheet(weight10 g approximately) wetted with 60 g ofdistilled water had been inserted 10 minutespreviously, (6) then stored at 231C for the time

    indicated in Table 1 prior to pouring with gypsum.For the storage time indicated as 0 hours, thecasts were poured immediately after the removalfrom the master model.

    CAST FORMATION

    When the predetermined storage time hadelapsed, the impression was removed from theplastic bag and locked again on the TST base.Then 150 g of Type III gypsum powder (Elite

    Model Type III) was mixed with 75 g of distilledwater using an electronic vacuum mixing machine(Twister Evolution) at 250 rpm for 30 seconds andpoured into the impression. The TST carrier was

    then placed and maintained in position for thesetting time indicated by the gypsum manu-facturer. After final setting of the gypsum, thecarrier was gently removed and the cast was care-fully separated from the impression. The materialwas stored for 48 hours at 23C and 50% relative

    humidity prior to measuring.

    MEASUREMENT AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

    The carrier was compiled in a HB 350 measuringmachine (Starrett Sigma, North Yorkshire, England),and the posterior corner was set parallel to the axismovement of the machine. The cast was placedon it and maintained in position by means of thefour reference grooves.

    Six measurements (mm) were recorded for each

    model (Figure 3): D1.3: diameter of die 1.3 D2.3: diameter of die 2.3 d3: internal distance between dies 1.3 and

    2.3 D1.7: diameter of die 1.7 D2.7: diameter of die 2.7 d7: internal distance between dies 1.7 and

    2.7

    RESULTS

    The results of the statistical analysis are shownin Tables 2 and 3. In order to simplify the inter-pretation of the achieved results, a summary isprovided in Table 4.

    Groups 1, 5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18showed no statistically significant difference fromthe control group (p > 0.05). When the impressionswere poured immediately, all the tested alginateswere able to reproduce the master model withoutany statistically significant difference (p > 0.05)in all the tested measurements. After 24 hours ofstorage, only Alginoplast and Hydrogum 5 fit allthe measurements (p > 0.05).

    The only casts able to comply with the controlgroup in all the measurements after 72 and 120

    hours were obtained from Hydrogum 5 (p > 0.05).

    DISCUSSION

    The five alginates tested in this study yieldeddifferent results, showing the dimensional stabilityof the impression is directly related to the type ofmaterial used. Thus, the first null hypothesis, thereis no difference in dimensional stability amongdifferent alginate-based materials is rejected.Immediate pouring of the impression has been

    traditionally suggested as a means to counteractthe well-known dimensional instability ofconventional alginate-based materials. However,if the impression could be stored for a reasonabletime prior to pouring, this could improve themanagement of chair side procedures, offering apotential advantage for the clinician.

    In this study the impressions were stored at100% relative humidity and pouring was delayedup to five days (i.e., 120 hours). Different results

    recorded for the tested alginate-based materialscould be related to differences in chemicalcomposition of the alginate materials. However,little information is provided in manufacturerinstruction sheets and there is no recent literatureon the influence of individual chemicalcomponents on the dimensional stability of theseimpression materials.

    Water evaporation may induce the shrinkageof hydrocolloids materials, (48) and the powder/water mixing ratio may have some influence on

    the dimensional stability of the impression. In thepresent study the same amount of alginate powderwas used for each impression (30 g). Hydrogum5, the most stable among the five tested materials,was mixed with a weight ratio of 2.143 (64.3 g of

    obtained casts

    All measurements were carried out three times,1 mm below the finish line of each die.

    The results were statistically analyzed with SPSS12.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The Levene

    Test was used to verify the homogeneity of varian-ces, followed by one way analysis of variance(ANOVA), and a Tukey Test for post-hoc com-parison between the groups. The level of signi-ficance was set at p

    distilled water), while the mixing ratio of JeltratePlus, Alginoplast, and Jeltrate were 2.375, 2.381,and 2.714 (71.3, 71.4, and 81.4 g of distilledwater), respectively. However, the mixing ratio

    and the dimensional stability did not seem toinfluence the results since CA 37 had the samemixing ratio as Hydrogum 5 but showed lessdimensional change. Furthermore, no recent

    literature was found regarding the influence of thepowder/water ratio on the dimensional stability.This is probably more related to the ability of thematerial to keep water inside the mass than to theglobal amount of water present in each impression.

    By analyzing the measurements for eachalginate material it was shown the dimensional

    stability of the tested alginate impression materialschanges with storage time. This warrants therejection of the second null hypothesis, thedimensional stability is not affected by storagetime. Dies became wider and distances between

    them become smaller with time. These findingsare in agreement with Schleier et al. (6) and maybe related to the shrinkage of the mass due tosyneresis. The widening of the dies could beexplained as follows: the master model reproducedan upper jaw with the dies positioned on the arch.During the impression procedure the arch leaves

    a semicircular void in the impression and thematerial is mainly pushed in the palatal andvestibular zone of the impression tray. As the resultof the shrinkage, the impression material aroundthe die was subjected to centrifugal tensile forces,

    185REVISTAROMNDESTOMATOLOGIE VOL. LIV, NR. 3, SUPLIMENT, AN2008

    so its diameter was increased (dies became wider).Furthermore, as usually occurs in clinicalsituations, the greatest amount of alginate wasvisibly located in the palatal zone and theshrinkage of this area may explain why thedistance between dies decreased.

    Some limitations of this study can be identified.First, the acrylic master model used to take theimpressions was prepared with the least numberof undercuts, to prevent the distortion of thematerial during the removal of the impression. Inclinical situations the impression is usually lesseasy to remove from the patients mouth and thematerial could be more subjected to distortion.

    Second, the impressions were not subjected todisinfection procedures. However, if a properdecontamination protocol is followed, the influ-

    ence of disinfection procedures on dimensionalstability is not clinically relevant. (4,56) Taylor etal.4 found in some cases disinfected impressionscan even have an overall improvement indimensional accuracy. One hypothesis advancedby the investigators to account for thisimprovement is the initial syneresis may becounteracted by imbibition during disinfection.

    CONCLUSION

    Within the limits of this study, the followingconclusions can be drawn:

    The dimensional stability of the alginateimpression was influenced by either the type

    of alginate or the storage time prior to pouring. Impressions recorded with CA 37 (Cavex),Jeltrate (Dentsply Caulk), and Jeltrate Plus(Dentsply Latin America) should be pouredimmediately.

    The impressions recorded with Alginoplast(Heraeus Kulzer) can be poured after 24hours if correctly stored.

    The impressions recorded with Hydrogum5 (Zhermack) can be poured after five daysif correctly stored.

    CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

    When alginate materials are used, an immediatepouring of the cast is still recommended. However,the results suggest pouring may be delayed, pro-vided a stable alginate is used and the impressionis correctly stored.
