          Abstract

          The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro diffusion of synthetic salmon calcitonin (CT), used as an intracanal medication, to the external root surface, with or without the presence of intact root cementum. Fifty-four human central incisors were used in the experiment, and were divided into two groups of 21 (test groups) and two groups of 6 teeth (control groups). After root canal preparation, 10 ml of calcitonin was inserted within the root canal chamber. The root was sealed and made externally impermeable. Specimens were then placed in tubes with saline solution buffered with phosphates and stored at 37°C. The diffusion of calcitonin was measured after 1, 4 and 7 days. To count calcitonin present at the external media (PBS), ELISA test (an antigen-antibody reaction) was used. Results showed that there was calcitonin diffusion through dentin in all of the test samples. The absence of cementum increased the diffusion of calcitonin (p=0.05). The highest counts of CT were obtained on day 7 for groups with or without cementum - showing a direct relation between time and diffusion of the medication.

          O presente estudo determinou in vitro a difusão da calcitonina sintética de salmão, como medicação intracanal, até a superfície externa radicular, com e sem a presença de cemento radicular. Foram utilizados cinqüenta e quatro incisivos centrais humanos, divididos em dois grupos com 21 dentes cada e dois grupos com 6 dentes cada (controle negativo). Após o preparo endodôntico, os dentes receberam 10 ml de calcitonina como medicação intracanal. Feitos o selamento e a impermeabilização externa da raiz, os espécimes foram acondicionados em tubos com solução salina tamponada com fosfatos e incubados em estufa a 37°C. Foram colhidas amostras da solução salina nos períodos de 1, 4 e 7 dias. Para a análise das soluções teste, utilizou-se teste ELISA. Os resultados mostram que existe a difusão da medicação testada até a superfície externa radicular em todas as amostras dos grupos teste. O fator ausência de cemento radicular permite a passagem de maiores quantidades de calcitonina, dados estatisticamente significantes ao nível de 5%. Os maiores valores de difusão foram encontrados no sétimo dia, tanto para o grupo com cemento como para o grupo sem cemento, mostrando uma relação direta entre tempo e difusão da medicação intracanal testada.

          The sensitivity of isolated osteoclasts to morphological transformation by calcitonin.

          We recently developed a technique for isolating osteoclasts from other bone cells which allows the direct effect of hormones on these cells to be assessed. We found that calcitonin (CT), which inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption, abolished cytoplasmic movement in these cells. In this paper we use the shape-change which accompanies immotility to define the sensitivity of osteoclasts to human and salmon CT. Concentrations of human CT above 62 pg/ml and salmon CT above 3 pg/ml regularly induced the shape-change in osteoclasts which corresponds to complete inhibition of cytoplasmic motility. Morphological transformation of osteoclasts by such low concentrations implies that CT may inhibit bone resorption by inhibiting the motility of the bone-resorptive cell. Even relatively high concentrations of other hormones had no effect on the sensitivity of osteoclasts to CT. This suggests that the response of isolated osteoclasts to CT is sufficiently specific and sensitive to be used as a bioassay, and we used the response to compare the biological potency of several samples of known immunoassayable CT content.

              The effect of an antibiotic/corticosteroid paste on inflammatory root resorption in vivo.

              Progressive external inflammatory root resorption, a result of persistent inflammation within the periodontal membrane, will cause eventual destruction of the tooth root if the inflammation is not eradicated. This study examined the effects of an antibiotic/corticosteroid paste on experimental inflammatory resorption induced in monkeys in vivo. Histologic evaluation of results with the use of a morphometric technique revealed that the paste eliminated inflammatory root resorption and had no damaging effects upon the periodontal membrane. It was concluded that this antibiotic/corticosteroid combination is an effective medication for use in the treatment of progressive root resorption in traumatically injured teeth.
