Heliyon 2024; 10:e30851. [PMID: 38765086 PMCID: PMC11101864 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aims to assess and compare the micro-shear bond strength (μSBS) of a novel resin-modified glass-ionomer luting cement functionalized with a methacrylate co-monomer containing a phosphoric acid group, 30 wt% 2-(methacryloxy) ethyl phosphate (2-MEP), with different substrates (dentin, enamel, zirconia, and base metal alloy). This assessment is conducted in comparison with conventional resin-modified glass ionomer cement and self-adhesive resin cement. Materials and methods In this in vitro study, ninety-six specimens were prepared and categorized into four groups: enamel (A), dentin (B), zirconia (C), and base metal alloys (D). Enamel (E) and dentin (D) specimens were obtained from 30 human maxillary first premolars extracted during orthodontic treatment. For zirconia and metal alloys, 48 disks were manufactured using IPS e.max ZirCAD through dry milling and Co-Cr powder alloy by selective laser milling. Each group was further subdivided into three subgroups (n = 8) according to the luting cement used: (1) Fuji PLUS resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement (FP) as a control cement, (2) modified control cement (eRMGIC), and (3) RelyX U 200 (RU 200) self-adhesive resin cement. The two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's HSD were used to assess the data obtained from measuring the μSBS of the samples. Results The results of this study showed that the mean μSBS values of eRMGIC were statistically higher compared to FP in all tested groups (p < 0.001). The mean μSBS results of eRMGIC were non-significantly different from those recorded by RU 200 for all substrates except for the dentin substrate, where the RU200 cement produced significantly higher strength (p < 0.001). The failure modes were limited to a combination of mixed and adhesive failures without pure cohesive failure. Significance The functionalization of FP with an organophosphorus co-monomer (2-MEP) directly affects the adhesion performance of the functionalized cement, which may be utilized to develop a new type of acid-base cement. It exhibited a performance comparable to that of resin-based cement and should serve well under different clinical conditions.

Using Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy with Ultrasound Devices and Bioactive Glasses as a Combined Approach for Treating Dentin Caries Lesions. Pathogens 2023; 12:1052. [PMID: 37624012 PMCID: PMC10459246 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12081052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Novel approaches for caries lesion removal and treatment have been proposed. This study evaluates the combined use of an experimental ultrasound, aPDT (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) and bioactive glasses on the removal, decontamination and remineralization of dentin caries lesions. A biological model created with a duo species biofilm (Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus) was used for the development of a caries-like lesion over the dentin for 7 days. Bovine dentin specimens (4 × 4 × 2 mm) were randomized according to the following caries removal techniques: bur (BUR) or ultrasound (ULT), decontamination (with or without aPDT) and remineralization materials (45S5 or F18 bioactive glasses). The following different groups were investigated: caries lesion (control); sound dentin (control); BUR; BUR + aPDT; ULT; ULT + aPDT; BUR + 45S5, BUR + F18; ULT + 45S5; ULT + F18; BUR + aPDT + 45S5; BUR + aPDT + F18; ULT + aPDT + 45S5; and ULT + aPDT + F18. Transverse microradiography (TMR), cross-sectional microhardness (CSH), FT-Raman spectroscopy and confocal microscopy (CLSM) were performed. A two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were used (α = 0.05). (3) Results: The TMR revealed a lesion depth of 213.9 ± 49.5 μm and a mineral loss of 4929.3% vol.μm. The CSH increases as a function of depth, regardless of the group (p < 0.05). Removal with BUR (24.40-63.03 KHN) has a greater CSH than ULT (20.01-47.53 KHN; p < 0.05). aPDT did not affect the CSH (p > 0.05). No difference was observed between 45S5 or F18 (p > 0.05), but a change was observed for ULT (p > 0.05). The FT-Raman shows no differences for the phosphate (p > 0.05), but a difference is observed for the carbonate and C-H bonds. The CLSM images show that aPDT effectively inactivates residual bacteria. A combination of ULT, aPDT and bioactive glasses can be a promising minimally invasive treatment.

Abstract
Aim To clinically evaluate the overall efficacy and pain perception of ultrasonic oscillating tips and conventional high-speed burs to remove enamel and dentinal caries in children of ages 6-8 years. Materials and methods Bilateral deciduous canines with caries involving enamel or enamel and dentin were excavated by using a high-speed airrotor on one tooth and ultrasonic oscillating tips on another tooth in the same appointment. The overall response of the patient, both ultrasonic oscillating tips and airrotor along was recorded by Wong-Baker's Facial Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) along with time taken to make each cavity and noise level generated by high-speed and ultrasonic system. Results Evaluation of WBFPS after every method of caries excavation showed that 84% of subjects in the ultrasonic group reported score of 0 as compared to only 24% of subjects in the airrotor group. Score 2 was reported by 16% of the subjects in the ultrasonic group and 32% of the subjects in the airrotor group. Score 4 was reported by 44% of the subjects in the airrotor group. Ultrasonic groups reported more time to remove caries as compared to the airrotor group. The ultrasonic group reported less noise as compared to the airrotor group and the difference between the two was significant. Conclusion Patients preferred the ultrasonic method for caries excavation because of less pain and noise. The use of ultrasonic oscillating tips is as effective in caries excavation, less painful, and more time-consuming than the conventional airrotor. Significance Ultrasonic oscillating tips can be successfully used in pediatric dentistry to aid patient cooperation and reduce pain during caries excavation.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjunctive treatment to ultrasound for the dentin caries-like lesion removal. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 40:103148. [PMID: 36216023 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate in vitro the efficacy of ultrasound device to remove caries-like dentin and the curcumin-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) to decontaminate the affected dentin. METHODS Bovine dentin specimens (n = 173) of 4 × 4 × 2 mm were first submitted to Knoop surface microhardness to standardize the specimens (29 ± 3 KHN). Artificial caries lesion was induced by Streptococcus mutans strain by biological model for 7 days. Infected dentin was removed (1 min) with the following techniques: dentin excavator, bur at low-speed rotation and ultrasound device. After that, aPDT application was performed using blue LED under 460 nm. Polarized light microscopy (PLM), removal rate (n = 10), cross-sectional microhardness (n = 10), colony forming units per milliliter (CFU) (n = 9) and confocal laser microscopy (CM) (n = 2) were performed. ANOVA with Welch correction, post-hoc Games-Howell and two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc tests were used. RESULTS PLM confirmed the caries lesion formation with a depth of ∼147.9 µm. Groups treated with ultrasound showed lower removal rate (p = 0.001). Regardless of the treatment, the microhardness values increased as function of depth (p ≤ 0.05). Carbide bur showed the highest microhardness value, followed by ultrasound and excavator. CFU and CM showed a significant reduction in S. mutans after aPDT application. CONCLUSION Ultrasound was efficient, since it removed infected dentin, preserving the affected dentin and aPDT can be used as a complementary therapy to decontaminate the affected dentin. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Ultrasound device may help the clinician to remove dentin caries-like lesions since it is a conservative technique and provided the removal of infected dentin, preserving the affected dentin. aPDT application may be used as a complimentary technique to promote antibacterial effect and possibly minimize the risk of secondary caries.

Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an ultrasound device and the dentin surface morphology after removal of the caries dentin lesions by removal rate and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Knoop hardness test on the bovine dentin blocks (n = 20, 4x4x2mm) was performed to standardize the samples and only those with 38 ± 2 KHN were included. The dentin blocks were submitted to induction of artificial caries lesions, using the bacterial model. Strains of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus were used for 7 days. The caries dentin lesion was removed for 1 min, according to two methods: G1 - carbide bur under low-speed rotation (control group) and G2 - ultrasound device under refrigeration. For the removal rate, the samples were weighed 3 times: T0 (before induction), T1 (after induction) and T2 (after removal). Morphology evaluation of the residual dentin surface was performed by SEM. Data normality was verified by Shapiro-Wilk test (p ≥ 0.240). T-test for independent samples was applied to evaluate the removal rate. A significance level of 5% was adopted. G2 provided lower removal rate than G1 (G1: 3.68 mg and G2 = 2.26 mg). SEM images showed different morphological characteristics between the groups. G2 showed absent of smear layer, while G1 showed a visible smear layer over the surface. We concluded that ultrasound device provides minimally invasive removal with residual dentin exhibiting open dentin tubules and no smear layer formation and no bacteria, which infer the removal of the infected tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This scoping review aims to summarize the available literature on the clinical applications of ultrasonography and ultrasound in diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional dental applications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist and conducted a protocol-driven scoping review of randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and case series that assessed ultrasonography or ultrasound use as a stand-alone diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional tool in dentistry. We included studies published after 1980, study samples ≥ 10, with diagnostic, concordance, or therapeutic outcomes. We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and others (up to April 2021) and extracted information regarding study level, patient level, test or treatment level, and outcome level data. RESULTS Five interventional studies (related to oral medicine, temporomandibular disorders, and dental anesthesia), eight therapeutic studies (related to surgery and orthodontics), and seventy-five diagnostic studies (related to orthodontics, surgery, endodontics, oral medicine, temporomandibular disorders, restorative dentistry, and periodontology) were identified and presented in this review. CONCLUSION Ultrasonography has a well-established niche in diagnostic dentistry, while therapeutic and interventional ultrasounds have a smaller, yet present, niche in dentistry. However, further research is needed to report the precise estimates of the diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional effects. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Dentists are mostly unfamiliar with ultrasonography and ultrasound and their potential uses. This review maps the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasonography and ultrasound technology in dentistry and highlights the current challenges, gaps of knowledge, and research status of ultrasound technology in this regard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine whether capsular distention in the painful temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be assessed by ultrasonography, we compared the capsular width between painful TMJs and painless TMJ. The risk factors for TMJ pain were also investigated including capsular width and other clinical factors such as TMJ sounds that may affect the occurrence and persistence of TMJ pain. METHODS TMJ ultrasonography was performed on 87 temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients, including 47 unilateral and 29 bilateral TMJ pain patients, and 11 patients without TMJ pain. RESULTS The capsular width was greater in the 105 painful joints than in the 69 painless joints. Considering individual anatomical variations, the differences between painful and painless joints in unilateral TMJ pain patients were also analyzed, revealing a greater width in painful joints. Capsular width was a risk factor for TMJ pain with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.496 (95% confidence interval 1.312-1.706; p < 0.001) and was significantly correlated with pain scores. CONCLUSION This correlation may suggest that pain intensity is associated with widened capsular width because of joint effusion or synovitis. Further studies are required to refine and establish the protocols for standard examinations using ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
The cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) is an important reference point for various clinical measurements in oral health assessment. Identifying CEJ in ultrasound images is a challenging task for dentists. In this study, a computer-assisted detection method is proposed to identify the CEJ in ultrasound images, based on the curvature change of the junction outlining the upper edge of the enamel and cementum at the cementum–enamel intersection. The technique consists of image preprocessing steps for image enhancement, segmentation, and edge detection to locate the boundary of the enamel and cementum. The effects of the image preprocessing and the sizes of the bounding boxes enclosing the CEJ were studied. For validation, the algorithm was applied to 120 images acquired from human volunteers. The mean difference of the best performance between the proposed method and the two raters’ measurements was an average of 0.25 mm with reliability ≥ 0.98. The proposed method has the potential to assist dental professionals in CEJ identification on ultrasonographs to provide better patient care.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of ultrasonic heat before photo-polymerization on the structural and physical properties of dental composites. Commercially available bulk-fill, nano-hybrid, micro-hybrid, and flowable composites were used. The samples were divided into three groups i.e., (i) without ultrasonic activation, (ii) ultrasonic activation at 15 Hz for 30 s, and (iii) ultrasonic activation at 15 Hz for 60 s. The degree of conversion percentage (DC%) and structural changes were evaluated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The presence of voids in restored tooth cavities were investigated with micro-computed tomography. The statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) post hoc Tukey’s test. The DC% was significantly increased with ultrasonic application in all groups except for flowable composites, whereby flowable composite showed a significant increase with 30 s ultrasonic activation only. The highest DC% was observed in 60 s ultrasonically activated nano-hybrid and micro-hybrid composites. The voids were reduced linearly with ultrasonic application in flowable and bulk-fill composites; however, non-linear behavior was observed with micro-hybrid and nano-hybrid composites, whereby the difference was significant within the groups. The frequency and time of the ultrasonic application is an important factor to consider and can be used to preheat composites before clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasonic devices have a lot of dental application specially in hygiene and surgery. However there are some disadvantages like cut slowness and heat production. Prosthodontics application is less investigated. In particular the heat production could be an important factor for the clinician. In fact more than 5.5 °C temperature increasing could determine pulp necrosis during tooth preparation. The aim of this study is to investigate the increasing of temperature during finishing line repositioning and polishing phases using ultrasounds inserts and to verify if it remains within the limit of 5.5 °C. METHODS A sample of 32 human molars (extracted for periodontal reasons) was selected. The teeth were endodontically treated and prepared with burs in order to obtain a prosthetic round chamfer preparation, leaving the apical portion pervious for inserting the thermocouple probe. Then, they were inserted in plaster cubes up to the cement-enamel junction. A wall has been selected for each tooth for margin repositioning and finishing and prepared with the piezoelectric instrument (Multipiezo Touch with TipHolder DB2, Mectron, Carasco, Genoa, Italy). A mechanical arm was used to standardize the operator-dependent parameters. These parameters were: the pressure exerted on the dental wall, the cutting length and the time required for margin repositioning and finishing. The test phase consisted in a first stage of margin repositioning using an regular ultrasound tip with a diamond grain of 120 micron (DB120, Mectron, Carasco, Italy) (group 1), followed by a second finishing step conducted by a extra fine ultrasound tip with a diamond grain of 60 micron (DB60, Mectron, Carasco, Italy) (group 2). Each test lasted 60 seconds: this was the time that the mechanical arm needed to accomplish 32 rides. During these stages the intrapulpal temperature has been recorded thanks to a thermocouple. The obtained temperature data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Withney post-hoc test, without Bonferroni correction (P<0.001). RESULTS The average pulpal temperature increase was 4.65 °C with a standard deviation of 0.99 °C for the DB 120 ultrasonic tip and 5.40 °C with a standard deviation of 0.84 °C for the DB 60 ultrasonic tip. However, neither of the instruments reach the medium critical level of 5.5°C reported in the literature, there are some single values who exceed it. There is statistically significant difference using tips with different granulometries within the two groups (P value =0.013). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasonic tools are very performing to achieve results in repositioning and polishing of prepared tooth. The in-vitro analysis show that the pulp temperature increasing remains within the safe limits literature shows. It is important underline the polishing phase is the most critical and the clinicians have to pay attention to irrigation and pression to avoid pulp damages. Additional clinical studies have to be performed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Liposomes are widely applied in research, diagnostics, medicine and in industry. In this study we show for the first time the effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on liposome stability and compare it to the effect of well described chemical, physical and mechanical treatments. Fluorescein loaded giant 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) lipid vesicles were treated with hydrodynamic cavitation as promising method in inactivation of biological samples. Hydrodynamic treatment was compared to various chemical, physical and mechanical stressors such as ionic strength and osmolarity agents (glucose, Na+, Ca2+, and Fe3+), free radicals, shear stresses (pipetting, vortex mixing, rotational shear stress), high pressure, electroporation, centrifugation, surface active agents (Triton X-100, ethanol), microwave irradiation, heating, freezing-thawing, ultrasound (ultrasonic bath, sonotrode). The fluorescence intensity of individual fluorescein loaded lipid vesicles was measured with confocal laser microscopy. The distribution of lipid vesicle size, vesicle fluorescence intensity, and the number of fluorescein loaded vesicles was determined before and after treatment with different stressors. The different environmental stressors were ranked in order of their relative effect on liposome fluorescein release. Of all tested chemical, physical and mechanical treatments for stability of lipid vesicles, the most detrimental effect on vesicles stability had hydrodynamic cavitation, vortex mixing with glass beads and ultrasound. Here we showed, for the first time that hydrodynamic cavitation was among the most effective physico-chemical treatments in destroying lipid vesicles. This work provides a benchmark for lipid vesicle robustness to a variety of different physico-chemical and mechanical parameters important in lipid vesicle preparation and application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze pulpal temperature increase generated by prosthodontic margin repositioning and finishing with ultrasonic and rotating instruments. The temperature changes recorded were also correlated with the residual dentin thickness. METHODS A sample of 32 human extracted molars was selected. The teeth were endodontically treated and prepared with prosthetic round chamfer preparation. Then, they were inserted in plaster cubes up to the cement-enamel junction, leaving the apical portion pervious for inserting the thermocouple probe. The conventional technique, which involves the use of a high-speed contra-angle handpiece, was compared with an ultrasonic method (Crown Prep, Mectron, Carasco, Italy). For margin repositioning and finishing, two walls were randomly selected for each tooth: one was included in the test group and cut with the piezoelectric instrument (Multipiezo Touch TipHolder DB2, Mectron, Carasco, Genoa, Italy), the other one was inserted in the control group and cut with the high speed contra-angle handpiece (Kavo, Biberach, Germany). To standardize the operator-dependent parameters, it was used a mechanical arm controlled by a computer. These parameters were the pressure exerted on the dental wall, the cutting length and the time required for margin repositioning and finishing. For both test and control group, test phase consisted in a first stage of margin repositioning using an ultrasound tip or a diamond bur with a greater granulometry (120 µm for the ultrasound tip and 125 µm for the diamond bur), followed by a second finishing step conducted by an ultrasound tip or a diamond bur with smaller granulometry (60 µm for the ultrasound tip and 30 µm for the diamond bur). During these stages the intrapulpal temperature was recorded thanks to a thermocouple. Before and after these steps, the thickness of the remaining dental walls was measured with a caliber. RESULTS The average pulpal temperature increase was 5.03±0.98 °C for the ultrasonic preparation (test group) and 3.55±0.95 °C for the conventional technique (control group). The difference was statistically significant (P value <0.001). However, neither of the instruments reached the critical level of 5.5 °C reported in the literature. The mean initial dentin thicknesses was 1.82±0.47 mm for the control group and 1.59±0.54 mm for the test group but the analysis of the residual dentin thicknesses revealed a greater reduction of the walls worked up with high speed contra-angle handpiece (mean 0.9±0.5 mm), which was therefore more aggressive than the ultrasonic instrument (mean 1.1±0.5 mm). A very weak negative correlation was present between the thickness of the wall at baseline and the increment of temperature. CONCLUSIONS Within limitations of this study, temperature increasing of ultrasonic instruments shows a statistical difference related to rotary ones. But, as literature shows, the ultrasonic advantages are margin precision, preservation of soft tissues and reduction of operating times. Furthermore, in relation with results of this study, they could be considered safe for pulp vitality because the increase in pulpal temperature is similar to traditional instruments and it does not exceed the critical level of 5.5 °C.

Marginal quality of ceramic inlays after three different instrumental cavity preparation methods of the proximal boxes. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 23:793-803. [PMID: 29862414 PMCID: PMC7736014 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-018-2492-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2017] [Accepted: 05/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The marginal quality of ceramic inlays was evaluated after the use of three different instrumental finishing methods in mesio-occluso-distal (mod) cavity boxes in vitro after hydrothermal loading (HTL).
Materials and methods
Caries-free human molars were divided into three groups. Mod-cavities were conventionally prepared. Box finishing was performed in every group with rotating (RI), sonic (SI), or ultrasonic (USI) instruments. Surface roughness was examined. Twelve mod-cavities remained untreated. Continuous margin quality was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ceramic inlays were cemented into cavities. After HTL microleakage, marginal and absolute marginal gaps were examined. All data were analyzed statistically.
Results
Significant differences were found, between cavity surface roughness of RI and SI groups, the RI and USI groups, but not between microleakage, marginal, absolute marginal gaps after HTL and in proximal marginal quality. No correlations between microleakage and marginal gaps nor between microleakage and surface roughness were found.
Conclusion
Mod-cavity proximal box finishing with SI or USI resulted in a higher surface roughness than the use of RI. The type of the finishing method did not influence the marginal quality of ceramic inlays. For the mod-cavity finishing, the use of SI and USI could be an alternative instrumental method to conventional RI methods with a lower risk of iatrogenic damage of the adjacent teeth.
Clinical relevance
This study allows the practitioner to better determine the proper indications and limitations of the sonic and ultrasonic instruments for mod-cavity proximal box finishing.

Abstract
Use of ultrasonography (US) in dentomaxillofacial region became popular in recent years owing to increasing radiation dose concerns and economic limitations. It helps to visualize fine detail of the surface structure of the oral and maxillofacial tissues without ionizing radiation. In diagnostic ultrasound, high frequency sound waves are transmitted into the body by a transducer and echoes from tissue interface are detected and displayed on a screen. Sound waves are emitted via piezoelectric crystals from the ultrasound transducer. US technique can be used in dentomaxillofacial region for the examination of bone and superficial soft tissue, detection of major salivary gland lesions, temporomandibular joint imaging, assessment of fractures and vascular lesions, lymph node examination, measurement of the thickness of muscles and visualization of vessels of the neck. It has the potential to be used in the evaluation of periapical lesions and follow up of periapical bone healing. Also, it may be used for the evaluation of periodontal pocket depth and for the determination of gingival thickness before dental implantology.

Abstract
Micro-hole opening on skull is technically challenging and is hard to realize by micro-drilling. Low-stiffness of the drill bit is a serious drawback in micro-drilling. To deal with this problem, a novel ultrasonic vibration assisted micro-hole forming technique has been developed. Tip geometry and vibration amplitude are two key factors affecting the performance of this hole forming technique. To investigate their effects, experiment was carried out with 300μm diameter tools of three different tip geometries at three different vibration amplitudes. Hole forming performance was evaluated by the required thrust force, dimensional accuracy, exit burr and micro-structure of bone tissue around the generated hole. Based on the findings from current study, the 60° conically tipped tool helps generate a micro-hole of better quality at a smaller thrust force, and it is more suitable for hole forming than the 120° conically tipped tool and the blunt tipped tool. As for the vibration amplitude, when a larger amplitude is used, a micro-hole of better quality and higher dimensional accuracy can be formed at a smaller thrust force. Findings from this study would lay a technical foundation for accurately generating a high-quality micro-hole on skull, which enables minimally invasive insertion of a microelectrode into brain for neural activity measuring.
