| Abstract: |
The effect of five intracanal dressings, calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine gluconate (1% gel and 0.2% solution), camphorated parachlorphenole and 1% metronidazole was tested in vitro in four media. The canals of 40 test teeth were artificially infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Significant differences were observed between five intracanal dressings regarding the number of P. aeruginosa after 3 and 7 days (p < 0.05) and C. albicans after 3 days (p < 0.05). Specimens with calcium hydroxide and camphorated parachlorphenole have significant antibacterial efficacy. Camphorated parachlorphenole has significantly reduced the number of all tested microorganisms P. aeruginosa and C. albicans after 3 and 7 days in comparison with other materials (p < 0.05). Calcium hydroxide has shown similar effect on P. aeruginosa as camphorated parachlorphenole regarding the efficacy after 3 days (p < 0.05). Chlorhexidine gel has shown the weakest efficacy on P. aeruginosa after 3 days, compared to all tested materials, but its antibacterial efficacy after 7 days was statistically greater compared to other materials (p < 0.05), except for camphorated parachlorphenole. All tested materials had good antimycotic efficacy against C. albicans except metronidazole that, as was expected, had no efficacy against yeast (p < 0.05). We can conclude that the antibacterial efficacy of chlorhexidine gel is enhanced with time, while camphorated parachlorphenole and calcium hydroxide have fastest and strongest antimicrobial efficacy. |

PERIODONTITIS + microbiology |
| Abstract: |
Although over 300 bacterial species make up the oral flora, it is thought that only a few, either alone or in combination, initiate the progression of periodontitis. For over 20 years, culture techniques have been the primary method of identifying and studying putative pathogens. Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus and Treponema denticola are considered bacterial pathogens. Culture techniques enable versatility in characterizing the subgingival flora, allow for speciation and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Selective culturing involves the use of media restrictive to certain microorganisms, while nonselective media provides maximal growth and captures a predominant cultivable flora. In addition to technical problems, cultivating microorganisms can be both time consuming and costly. Molecular diagnostic techniques, DNA probes and polymerase chain reaction are especially useful in detecting those bacteria and viruses that cannot be cultivated in vitro or are not sensitive to current cultivating techniques. Sensitivity and specificity is optimal according to the great number of bacteria present in plaque samples. |

PERIAPICAL DISEASES + pathology |
| Abstract: |
Chronic periapical lesion is a result of the mutual activity of microbiota in the root canal and multilateral response of the host to infection. Nonspecific, acute and chronic inflammations, including humoral and cellular immunological responses, participate in the occurrence, development and perpetuation of these lesions. Biopsy samples of periapical tissue were taken by surgical procedure in 34 patients, with the object of verifying immunoglobulin classes G, A and M. The study involved determination of total proteins by Lowry’s method. Concentrations of IgG, IgA and IgM were determined by the method of radial immunodiffusion. Their correct amount was obtained by placing them in relation to the verified amount of total proteins. The study revealed different percentages of the share of immunoglobulins, classes G, A and M, and diversity in their values. IgG was found in 100% of cases, IgA in 76% and IgM in 44%. Mean value of the quantity of IgG amounted to 385.2 mg/g protein, ranging in value from 27.3 to 826.0 mg/g protein, IgA 51.0 mg/g protein, ranging from 0 to 336.8 mg/g protein, and IgM 20.3 mg/g, ranging from 0 to156.2 mg/g protein.The results obtained on the basis of this study indicate the local synthesis of immunoglobulins in chronic periapical lesions, and the involvement of nonspecific inflammatory and specific immunological reactions, which together are responsible for the pathogenesis of these lesions. |

BONE RESORPTION |
| Abstract: |
The problem of healing bone defects of odontogenetic aetiology is the most frequent cause of failure in surgical treatment of an ostitic process. The aim of this study was to valorise the successfulness of healing of bone defects after implantation of a new alloplastic copolymer - polyglycol bone implant (Fisiograft). A group of 45 subjects was examined with an ostitic process on teeth of the intracanine region. The results were valorised on the basis of densitometric measurement over a period of 12 months after implantation. The results obtained indicate that polyglycol copolymer bone implants can be successfully used in the treatment of bone defects of odontogenetic aetiology. Their fundamental advantage is slower biodegradation, which ensures a more suitable area for the apposition of new bone in the lumen of the bone defect, simple application in clinical work and the possibility of a mutual combination of all three available forms. |

TOOTH RESORPTION
GRANULATION TISSUE + etiology |
| Abstract: |
Internal resorption is the resorption of dentin which starts in the pulpal cavity either in the pulpal chamber or in the root canal. The autors describe many etiological factor but agree that its most frequent cause is either infection or trauma. These disorders initiative inflammatory response in the pulpal tissue. Disorders in vascularization can be seen in the production of granulation tissue and transformation of macrofagus similar cells from the mesenchymal tissue into multinuclear odontoclasts. With the formation of odontoclasts, which are similaar to osteoclasts, the resorption process can begin. Resorption process is diagnosed either during routine Rtg photography or if there is extensive resorption present and the perforation has been formed. Internal resorption can be fasr accelerating, and in some case slow accelerating and it can last for years. After diagnosis, the endodontic treatment is essential in all forms of internal resorption. Therapy of the internal resorption is divided in: 1. non surgical; 2. recalcification with calcium hydroxide; 3. surgical therapy. The choice of therapy is determined by the inclination of stomatologist and the extension and position of the pathological defect.The internal resorption therapy relates to final filling of root canal and the filling of resorption defect. Defect of the internal resorption is filled by method of lateral and vertical condensation and in the combination with a method of heated vertical condensation.The further rocess of internal resorption is interrupted if the filling is properly done, and therapy itself is considered successful when Rtg photography control taken after one year does not show any progression of the resorption process. |

| Abstract: |
Saliva is an important factor upon which general health of the oral cavity is dependent and which influences the occurrence of caries. In diabetic patients, xerostomia may occur due to pronounced polyuria in non-regulated and inadequately regulated cases. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of stimulated saliva and salivary pH in diabetic patients and in normal subjects, and to study the possible difference in the occurrence of caries. Results pointed to a significant decrease in the amount of stimulated saliva in insulin dependent diabetics (1.22 ml/min vs. 1.43 ml/min in normal subjects; p less than 0.01). The lowest amount of stimulated saliva was found in non-regulated diabetics (1.00 ml/min). In all diabetic patients, a significantly lower salivary pH was recorded as compared to normal subjects (p less than 0.01). The DMFS index was significantly higher in both insulin dependent and non-insulin dependent diabetics as compared to normal subjects (p less than 0.01). Concerning the state of diabetes control, significant differences at the level of p less than 0.01 in the DMFS index were observed among all groups of subjects (normal subjects, and regulated, inadequately regulated and non-regulated diabetics). A decreased salivary flow and pH may represent one from a series of caries risk factors in diabetics, especially in inadequately regulated and non-regulated cases of the disease. |

| Abstract: |
The presence of immunoglobulins G, A and M was studied in human dental pulps using a quantitative method of radial immunodiffusion. Valid data on the amounts of IgG, IgA and IgM were obtained on the basis of measured concentrations of immunoglobulins in each pulp sample and their correlation with total protein concentrations. The results indicated IgG to be present in 100%, IgA in 15% and IgM in 8% of 13 pulp samples affected by chronic inflammation. The mean values of IgG, IgA and IgM thus determined were 84.3, 4.4 and 1.4 mg/g protein, respectively. In intact pulp tissue, however, no presence of immunoglobulins G, A and M could be detected using the same method as above. The results obtained suggested the possibility of local synthesis of immunoglobulins in chronically inflamed pulp tissue, indicated that nonspecific inflammatory reaction may have occurred concurrently with some specific immunologic reactions. The predominance of IgG pointed to immunologic reactions of early types II and III hypersensitivity. |

| Abstract: |
Great caution is required when choosing materials coming into direct contact with pulpal tissue. The aim of this study was to assess the connective tissue tolerance to Cap-cap and Cinacal, clinically used for pulp capping, in experimental animals. On the basis of tissue reactions around implanted material specimens at intervals of 2, 14 and 28 days after application, the two materials were found to belong to a group of biocompatible materials. Marked infiltration with inflammatory cells around Cap-cap specimens during the first few days after injection pointed to irritative feature of the material as compared to Cinacal, possibly attributable to eugenol, a Cap-cap constitutive component. |
