AIM The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of MIH both visually and quantitatively, and describes the range of mineral densities of enamel specimens from three groups of piglets where two groups were given different doses of amoxicillin in infancy. METHODS In this blind randomized clinical study, 20 piglets were randomly divided into three groups. Group A received a standard dose (50mg/kg/day) and Group B received a high dose (90mg/kg/day) of amoxicillin in selected days of the month (20 working days) they were born. Group K did not receive any medication and served as control. Thirteen right mandibular permanent first molars (PFMs) were randomly collected from 3 groups of piglets at age 10 months for evaluation under X-ray micro-tomography. Tomographic data were obtained using a Skyscan 1174 compact micro-CT in the Department of Anatomy. RESULTS Prevalence of MIH was 0% in all groups. MD values were quantified after enamel grey level (0-255) measurements on horizontal cross-sectional slices. After MD measurements, the effects of amoxicillin use on MIH are presented. CONCLUSIONS While MIH is a multifactorial disturbance, the present study attempted to highlight the clinical findings of a possible relationship between amoxicillin use and MIH with the aid of X-ray micro-tomography.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is the application of traction to the callus formed between bone segments and stimulation of bone formation by creating stress on the callus with this traction. Shorten the duration of DO and increasing the capacity of bone formation is important to prevent the possible complications of DO. For this reason, it was considered that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may affect positively DO and it can decrease the complication range by shortening the period. Unilateral mandibular distractors were applied on 16 female white New Zealand rabbit to prove this hypothesis with micro CT, plain radiograph and histomorphometric analyses. Eight rabbits were applied LLLT with GaAlAs laser on the distraction area during the distraction period. On the post-distraction 28th day, four rabbits from study group and four rabbits from control groups were sacrificed. The rest of the rabbits were sacrificed on post-distraction 56th day. As a result of this study, significant positive effects of LLLT on post-distraction 28th day were revealed with all analyses. In histomorphometrical analyses, new bone formation was significantly higher in short-term laser applied group comparing to that of short-term control group (p = 0.029). In both microCT and plain radiograph, the highest radioopacity values were observed in short-term laser group when compared with that of the controls (p = 0.043 and p = 0.025, respectively). Even though LLLT increased the healing capacity on short-term, it was not sufficient on long-term (post-distraction 56th day) healing. LLLT application on distraction period, activate healing on bone so it may decrease DO period. The result of this study should be supported with clinical studies and the most effective laser source, dose and application time should be revealed with experimental and clinical studies.

Background: This study investigated whether the in vivo osteogenic differentiation potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells is enhanced by 17&bgr;-estradiol. Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized and divided into five experimental groups. For the surgical procedure, biparietal full-thickness bone defects (7 mm in diameter) were created. A chitosan-hydroxyapatite scaffold was used as the vehicle system for 17&bgr;-estradiol–loaded nanoparticles and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The first group, the blank defect group, was the control group. The defects were filled with either scaffold, estradiol, and scaffold; scaffold and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; or estradiol, scaffold, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells as experimental groups. The rats were killed at the end of weeks 4 and 12, and their calvariae were harvested for histologic and microtomographic evaluation. Results: Micro–computed tomographic evaluation of estradiol, scaffold, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells revealed the highest median value (82.59 ± 17.17), and the difference was significant compared with the blank defect group (p = 0.004). Histologic samples demonstrated a significant difference between experimental groups for bone defect repair at the end of weeks 4 and 12 (p = 0.003 and p < 0.001). The estradiol, scaffold, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell group had the highest median score (3.00 ± 0.0) at week 12, which was significantly higher than scores for the scaffold and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell group and the blank defect group. Conclusion: 17&bgr;-Estradiol appears to be a novel and promising agent for future cell-based bone tissue-engineering studies.

Abstract Objectives. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of CO2 laser on surface roughness of In-Ceram-Alumina-ceramic. Materials and methods. Four aluminum-oxide ceramic disc specimens were prepared of In-Ceram Alumina. Discs received CO2 laser irradiation with different engraving speeds (100, 400, 600 and 800 mm/min) as a surface treatment. The roughness of the surfaces was measured on digital elevation models reconstructed from stereoscopic images acquired by scanning-electron-microscope. Surface roughness data were analyzed with One-Way-Analysis-of-Variance at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results. There was no significant difference between the roughness values (p = 0.82). Due to higher laser durations, partial melting signs were observed on the surfaces. Tearing, smearing and swelling occurred on melted surfaces. Swelling accompanying melting increased the surface roughness, while laser power was fixed and different laser engraving speeds were applied. Conclusion. Although different laser irradiation speeds did not affect the roughness of ceramic surfaces, swelling was observed which led to changes on surfaces.
