This model was smoothed in CATIA. Finally, a 3D model of the dental implant was assembled in the mandible and finite element analysis was done on the model with various material properties, loading condition and constraints in ABAQUS.   Results: In the clinical models, the highest stress was found in the mandible with a thin layer of cortical bone around the core of the cancellous bone with the lowest density. It was shown that increase of the cortical bone radius resulted in the decrease of stress in the mandible. The 2 mm thickness of the cortical bone around a dental implant was evaluated as the critical thickness of the bone.   Conclusion : Increase of stiffness of the cortical or cancellous bones resulted in increase of the stress in that specific part of the bone. In addition, the increase of the bone thickness was more considerable in less than 2 mm thicknesses.   Key words : Dental implant – Finite element analysis – Stress distribution – Bone quality     Corresponding Author: Dr. Mallakzadeh MR ., Assistant Professor, Department of Biomechanics , School of Mechanical Engineering , Iran University of Sciences and Technology .

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different surface treatments of a quartz fiber post (DT Light Post) on its bond strength with a composite core (Clearfil Photocore) after water storage and thermocycling. Materials and Methods : In this interventional, in-vitro study, fifty human canine teeth were endodontically treated and post spaces were prepared. A total of fifty fiber posts were divided into five groups according to the surface treatment preformed as control (no treatment), silanenized, sandblasted, sandblasted and silanized, etched with hydrofluoric acid and silanized. After cementation of posts with Panavia F2 in the canals, composite cores were built on them. Consequently, the core parts were cut and stored in deionized water at room temperature for three months. Then thermocycling in 3000 cycles was performed between 5°C and 55°C. Then two 1 mm-diameter slices were obtained from each core. Finally, bond strength was measured by the push out test. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. Results : Data of all five groups followed normal distribution, but there were no significant differences between them. The sandblasted and silanized group had the highest bond strength (11.3±4.6) and the control group had the lowest bond strength (9.6±3.7). Conclusion : In this study, sandblasting, etching with hydrofluoric acid and silanization did not increase the bond strength between fiber post and composite core.   Key words : Surface treatment – Fiber post – Bond strength – Composite core       Corresponding Author : Dr. Soltanirad A ., Specialist in Operative Dentistry . e.mail: dr.alisoltanirad@yahoo.com  }, Keywords = {Surface treatment , Fiber post , Bond strength , Composite core}, volume = {23}, Number = {3}, pages = {162-170}, publisher = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, url = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1093-en.html}, eprint = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1093-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, issn = {2383-3041}, eissn = {}, year = {2011} } @article{ author = {Esfahanizadeh, Gholamreza and Salari, Mohammad hasan and Jalalian, Ezatolah and Bangipour, Omid and Jalalian, Faranak and Allameh, Mahshad and Rezvanipour, Pardis}, title = {Comparison of glaze or polish on dental porcelain`s surface roughness}, abstract ={  Comparison of glaze or polish on dental porcelain`s surface roughness     Dr. Esfahanizadeh GR.,1 Dr. Salari MH .,1 Dr. Jalalian E., 2 Dr. Bangipour O.,3 Dr. Jalalian F., 4   Dr. Allameh M.,5 Dr. Rezvanipour P.5     1 Assistant Professor , Department of Fixed Prosthodontic Dentistry , School of Dentistry, Tehran Islamic Azad University.

The goal of this investigation was comparing these process effects on the surface roughness of porcelain.   Materials and Methods : In this experimental study, 20 Noritake porcelain disks of 1 cm diameter and 2-2.5 mm thickness with non-percious metal base were fabricated. All samples were finished with medium grit silicone disk and then randomly divided into four groups (n=5). In the first group, the samples were self glazed. In the second group, the samples were polished (EVE Polisher Kit). In the third group, after self glazing with a coarse grit stone, the self glaze layer was omitted, then reglazed. The fourth group was similar to the third group, but in the end stage a polishing kit was used. Samples were evaluated with Profilometer and then with SEM. As a result of normal distribution of the data, One-Way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis. The mean roughness for the glazed group was 1.06±0.0547 the polished group, 0.92±0.1304 the reglazed group, 1.22±1304 and the polished after glaze group 1.14±0.1342.   Results: The polished and polished after glaze groups had a round shape in 100%, but the glazed and reglazed groups had a sharp shape in 60%.   Conclusion : The polished surface is less rough compared to the glazed surface and in the polish after glaze group, the surface of the porcelain is less rough compared to the reglaze group.    Key words: Surface roughness – Glaze – Polish – Dental porcelain     Corresponding Author: Dr. Jalalian E ., Associate Professor , Department of Fixed Prosthodontic Dentistry , School of Dentistry, Tehran Islamic Azad University.

Various criteria, such as bond strength, micro leakage and marginal seal are assessed in the evaluation of sealants. Motivated by the role of pit and fissure sealants in caries prevention, the aim of this study was to compare the micro leakage of Enamel Loc sealant, Concise and Concise +Prompt L-pop resin-based sealants.   Materials and Methods : An in vitro study was undertaken using thirty extracted third molars. The teeth were divided into three groups an experimental group using Enamel Loc as a pit and fissure sealant, a group using Concise and a group using Concise +Prompt L-pop . The teeth were kept in methylene blue dye 2% for 4 hours, sectioned samples were observed with stereomicroscope for the extent of dye penetration and scores were based on Williams and Winter criteria. Three groups of data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to detect differences among groups (p>0/001).   Results : The Enamel Loc sealant micro leakage was significantly more than the two other groups (p>0/001) . Furthermore, Concise micro leakage was significantly less than Concise +Prompt L-pop group (p>0/001).   Conclusion : The Enamel Loc sealant performed worse in terms of sealing ability than the Concise and Concise +Prompt L-pop resin-based sealants.  Key words: Dental caries – Fissure sealant – Pit and fissure – Dental leakages     Corresponding Author: Dr. Najafi-Abrandabadi S . , Dentist.   e.mail: snajafi07@yahoo.com   }, Keywords = {Dental caries , Fissure sealant , Pit and fissure ,Dental leakages}, volume = {23}, Number = {3}, pages = {182-188}, publisher = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, url = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1096-en.html}, eprint = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1096-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, issn = {2383-3041}, eissn = {}, year = {2011} } @article{ author = {Haghgoo, Roza and Saderi, Horiyeh and Kharazi-Fard, Mohammad javad and Sayyar, Hamed and Sayyad-Shirazi, Mohamm}, title = {Laboratory evaluation of the effect of fluoride-releasing fissure sealants on growth of oral Streptococcus}, abstract ={  Laboratory evaluation of the effect of fluoride-releasing fissure sealants on growth of oral Streptococcus     Dr. Haghgoo R .,1 Dr. Saderi H .,2 Dr. Kharazi-Fard MJ .,3 Dr. Sayyar H.,4 Dr. Sayyad -Shirazi M.4   1 Associate Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry , School of Dentistry .

However, the outcome of the microorganisms that are sealed by dental sealants is important. We evaluated the effect of fluoride-releasing fissure sealants on the growth of oral Streptococcus.   Materials and Methods : Pure cultures of Streptococcus mutans, sanguis and salivarius were prepared. 0.5 McFarland suspension of newly growed bacteria in normal saline was produced and using a swab, an even culture was prepared on the surface of the culture. Then, experimental fissure sealants were separately placed in 6mm diameter holes in the culture. The samples were divided into four groups namely, plates merely including microorganisms with no changes applied plates with microorganisms cured for 20 seconds plates with microorganisms with cured fissure sealants (20 seconds) placed in them plates with microorganisms and uncured sealants placed in them.   After incubation in 37°C, the diameter of absence of microorganism growth was measured with a ruler in each plate. For each microorganism this test was repeated 6 times and finally the data was analyzed with ANOVA test and t-test   Results : The results showed that fluoride-releasing fissure sealant may prevent growth of Streptococuus sanguis and salivarius (p<0.05) and the effect of this fissure sealant in preventing growth of Streptococcus mutans is not significant (p=0.05). Furthermore, the curing process may increase antibacterial properties of fissure sealants.   Conclusion : Clinpro-3M (fluoride releasing) may prevent growth of oral Streptococcus (sanguis, salivarius).  Key words: Fluoride – Fissure sealants – Oral Streptococcus     Corresponding Author: Dr. Haghgoo R . , Associate Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry , School of Dentistry .

Hyposalivation due to head and neck radiation therapy may induce changes to the biochemical properties of the saliva. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare saliva properties before and after radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancers.   Materials and Methods : In this quasi experimental study, 18 patients (13 male, 5 female) with head and neck cancers were evaluated regarding the flow rate of saliva, buffering capacity, amylase, total protein, IgM, IgA, IgG and albumin concentration of saliva prior to and following radiotherapy by schirmer test, pH meter, biuret, turbidometry and spectrophotometry. The oral symptoms due to radiotherapy ( xerostomia, loss of taste, difficulty in swallowing, eating and speaking) were evaluated according to the patients' complaints. S tatistical analysis of the results was performed with paired t test.   Results : There was statistically significant changes in flow rate (28.27±7.8 Vs 10.94±12.2), salivary buffering capacity (6.47±0.68 Vs 5.06±0.52), amylase (2536.5±707.9 Vs 1053.23±343.5) and IgM concentration (0.87±1.8 Vs 0.04 ±0.07) before and after radiation therapy (p≤0.05). There were no significant changes in total protein, albumin, IgA and IgG concentration after radiotherapy. Clinical manifestations of xerostomia, loss of taste, difficulty in swallowing and eating, and difficult speaking were detected in 100%, 100%, 83.3% and 16.7% of the cases, respectively.   Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, head and neck radiation therapy leads to reduction in salivary flow rate, buffering capacity, amylase and IgM concentration.   Key words : Saliva – Radiation therapy – Amylase – Buffering capacity – Immunoglobin – Flow rate     Corresponding Author: Dr. Sadri D ., Associate Professor, Department of Oral Pathology , School of Dentistry, Islamic Azad University, Dental Branch , Tehran , Iran.   e.mail: Donia1351@yahoo.com  }, Keywords = {Saliva , Radiation therapy , Amylase , Buffering capacity , Immunoglobin, Flow rate}, volume = {23}, Number = {3}, pages = {196-202}, publisher = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, url = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1098-en.html}, eprint = {http://jida.ir/article-1-1098-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Iranian Dental Association}, issn = {2383-3041}, eissn = {}, year = {2011} }
