          Abstract

          Eight nonstandardized gutta-percha points commercially available in Brazil (Konne, Tanari, Endopoint, Odous, Dentsply 0.04, Dentsply 0.06, Dentsply TP and Dentsply FM) were analysed chemically and by X-ray diffraction, and their chemical compositions were compared. The organic fraction (gutta-percha polymer and wax/resin) of the gutta-percha points was separated from the inorganic fraction (ZnO and BaSO4) by dissolving them in chloroform. The gutta-percha polymer was precipitated with acetone. The inorganic fraction was analysed by elemental microanalysis. Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction were employed to identify the chemical elements and compounds (barium sulfate and zinc oxide). The barium sulfate content was calculated based on the percentage of sulfur found in the elemental microanalysis. All analyses were repeated three times. The means and standard deviations of the percentage by weight of gutta-percha in the points were: Konne (17.6 ± 0.30), Tanari (15.2 ± 0.30), Endopoint (16.7 ± 0.23), Odous (18.8 ± 0.20), Dentsply 0.04 (15.7 ± 0.17), Dentsply 0.06 (16.6 ± 0.17), Dentsply TP (21.6 ± 0.15) and Dentsply FM (16.3 ± 0.23). The means and standard deviations of the zinc oxide content were: Konne (79.9 ± 0.10), Tanari (81.9 ± 0.07), Endopoint (81.3 ± 0.40), Odous (79.7 ± 0.26), Dentsply 0.04 (77.9 ± 0.03), Dentsply 0.06 (78.2 ± 0.07), Dentsply TP (69.8 ± 0.19) and Dentsply FM (72.6 ± 0.70). The method utilized was appropriate to quantify gutta-percha, wax/resin, zinc oxide and barium sulfate. Cone brands without barium sulfate were found. An unusual high wax/resin percentage was detected in Dentsply FM (p = 0.0003). Dentsply TP showed the highest gutta-percha percentage.

          Oito marcas de cones de guta-percha disponíveis no mercado brasileiro (Konne, Tanari, Endopoint, Odous, Dentsply 0.04, Dentsply 0.06, Dentsply TP e Dentsply FM) foram analisadas quimicamente e por difração de raios X; e suas composições, comparadas. A porção orgânica (guta-percha e ceras/resinas) foi separada da porção inorgânica (ZnO e BaSO4) através da dissolução em clorofórmio. O polímero guta-percha foi precipitado com adição de acetona. A fração inorgânica foi analisada por microanálise elementar. Microanálise por energia dispersiva de raios X (EDX) e difração por raios X foram utilizadas para identificar os elementos e compostos (BaSO4 e ZnO). A quantidade de sulfato de bário foi calculada através da porcentagem de enxofre detectada na microanálise elementar. Todas as análises foram executadas em triplicata. As médias e os desvios padrões das porcentagens em peso de guta-percha nas diferentes marcas analisadas foram: Konne (17,6 ± 0,30), Tanari (15,2 ± 0,30), Endopoint (16,7 ± 0,23), Odous (18,8 ± 0,20), Dentsply 0.04 (15,7 ± 0,17), Dentsply 0.06 (16,6 ± 0,17), Dentsply TP (21,6 ± 0,15) e Dentsply FM (16,3 ± 0,23). As médias e os desvios padrões das quantidades de óxido de zinco encontrados foram: Konne (79,9 ± 0,10), Tanari (81,9 ± 0,07), Endopoint (81,3 ± 0,40), Odous (79,7 ± 0,26), Dentsply 0.04 (77,9 ± 0,03), Dentsply 0.06 (78,2 ± 0,07), Dentsply TP (69,8 ± 0,19) e Dentsply FM (72,6 ± 0,70). O método utilizado foi apropriado para quantificação dos componentes guta-percha, ceras/resinas, óxido de zinco e sulfato de bário. Foram encontrados cones que não apresentaram sulfato de bário na composição. Foi detectada uma concentração exagerada de ceras/resinas no cone Dentsply FM (p = 0,0003). O cone Dentsply TP apresentou a maior porcentagem de guta-percha.

          Enterococcus faecalis--a mechanism for its role in endodontic failure.

          Nick Love (2001)
          The aim of this study was to identify a possible mechanism that would explain how E. faecalis could survive and grow within dentinal tubules and reinfect an obturated root canal. Cells of Streptococcus gordonii DL1, Streptococcus mutans NG8, or E. faecalis JH2-2 were grown in brain heart infusion broth containing various amounts of human serum for 56 days. The ability of the three species to invade dentine and bind to immobilized type I collagen in the presence of human serum was assessed by dentine invasion and microtitre well experiments. All three species remained viable over the period of the experiment when grown in human serum. Cells of all three bacteria were able to invade dentine and bind to immobilized collagen. Both of these properties were inhibited by the presence of collagen in the cell solution. Human serum inhibited dentine invasion and collagen adhesion by S. gordonii DL1 and S. mutans NG8, whilst dentine invasion by E. faecalis JH2-2 was reduced in the presence of serum, but not inhibited, and binding to collagen was enhanced. It is postulated that a virulence factor of E. faecalis in failed endodontically treated teeth may be related to the ability of E. faecalis cells to maintain the capability to invade dentinal tubules and adhere to collagen in the presence of human serum.

              Frequency, location, and direction of the lateral, secondary, and accessory canals.

              D. de Beer (1975)
              Observation of 1,140 transparent teeth of adult humans was made to verify the frequency, location, and direction of the accessory, secondary, and lateral canals located at the radicular-apical area, at the body of the root, and in the base of the root. In 27.4% of the teeth studied, some type of ramification was observed; these ramifications were usually located in the apical area of the root. The premolars and molars showed the greatest variety of ramifications.
