  • Efficacy of indirect and direct resin composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth: a meta-analysis

    ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical efficacy of indirect and direct resin composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth.MethodsThe Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2016), PubMed, EMbase, WanFang Data, CBM and CNKI databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about indirect and direct resin composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth from inception to December 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsNine RCTs involving 671 patients and 1 012 teeth (544 in indirect restorations group and 468 in direct restorations group) were included. The results of meta-analysis indicated that: there was no significant difference in the overall failure rate between direct and indirect resin composite restorations (RR=0.91, 95%CI 0.52 to 1.58, P=0.73). In further analysing the reasons of failure, there were no significant differences between both groups on fractured restorations (RR=1.71, 95%CI 0.76 to 3.84, P=0.19) and fractured remaining cusp (RR=1.27, 95%CI 0.62 to 2.59, P=0.52). In addition, the secondary caries in the direct composite restorations group was higher than that in the indirect group (RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.85, P=0.02). Subgroup analysis according to molars and premolars restored indicated that there was no statistical difference in the restorations failure rate between two groups.ConclusionThe clinical efficacy of indirect and direct resin composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth are equivalent. Due to the limitation of quality and quantity of the included RCTs, the above conclusions are needed to be verified by more high quality and large sample RCTs.

  • RECONSTRUCTION OF THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANE IN VITRO BY TISSUE ENGINEERINGTECHNIQUE

    【Abstract】 Objective To reconstruct three different kinds of tympanic membrane in vitro by tissue engineeringtechnique, and to examine their histological structures and mechanical properties. Methods The skin and dura of pig(weight 30 kg) were processed with high satuated sal ine and enzymes to make extracellular matrix. Meanwhile, fibroblasts(1×106 /mL,0.2 mL) were seeded on the surface of these two scaffolds and collagen. The composite tissues were cultured in vitro for 1 week and examined in histological structure and mechanical properties. Results Fibroblasts cultured were spindle–shaped and could grow and attach to these scaffolds with a arrangement of sarciniform and parallel. The reconstructed tissue of ECM and collagen appeared to integrate well and had better bio-compatibil ity. The mean thickness of the collagen, the skin and the dura (all covered with fibroblasts) were 9.4, 10.0 and 10.4 μm respectively. The tension of the collagen was (1.417±0.030) N/mm2, of the acellular dermal matrix was (24.500±2.040) N/mm2(being close to the tension of normal tympanic membrane, 26.700 N/ mm2),of the acellular dura was (53.300±2.600) N/mm2. Conclusion The results suggest that the tension and the thinkness of acellular dermal matrix is similar to the normal tympanic membrane of guinea pig, it is an ideal material for tympanoplasty.
