Abstract
Resumo Introdução Os ameloblastomas (AM) são considerados os tumores odontogênicos mais comuns da cavidade bucal, apresentando grande importância clínica devido à sua agressividade, capacidade infiltrativa e comportamento recorrente. De maneira semelhante, o ceratocisto odontogênico (CO) desperta a atenção por ter um comportamento agressivo e altas taxas de recorrência em relação aos outros cistos de desenvolvimento. Objetivo Avaliar e comparar o índice de proliferação epitelial e a presença de miofibroblastos em CO e AM, por meio dos anticorpos Ki-67 e α-SMA, respectivamente. Metodologia Foram selecionados 15 casos de AM e 24 casos de CO para investigação imuno-histoquímica das proteínas Ki-67 e α-SMA. Um grupo de sete folículos pericoronários (FP) foi incluído como controle de tecido odontogênico normal. A média de células positivas foi calculada para cada marcador. Resultado O teste de Kruskal-Wallis revelou que a expressão de ambos os marcadores foi maior nos casos de CO, quando comparada à expressão em AM e FP. Segundo o teste de Mann-Whitney, a expressão dos marcadores foi semelhante entre os subtipos de AM. Conclusão A alta expressão de Ki-67 e α-SMA observada em CO poderia estar associada ao comportamento agressivo desta lesão em relação aos outros cistos de desenvolvimento. Por outro lado, a expressão semelhante destas proteínas nos casos de AM e FP, assim como nos subtipos de AM, poderia indicar que outros fatores, além do potencial proliferativo, estariam associados ao comportamento clínico agressivo do AM.

Abstract
AIM To establish a method using Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) to characterize the nature and depth of changes in dentinal collagen following exposure to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) during root canal irrigation in an ex vivo model. METHODOLOGY Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy was used to assess the changes in dentinal collagen when the root canal was exposed to NaOCl. The changes in dentinal collagen caused by NaOCl irrigation of root canals in transverse sections of roots, at 0.5 mm from the canal wall and 0.5 mm from the external root surface, were assessed by FTIR. The data were analysed using paired t-test with 5% significance level. RESULTS Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy confirmed that NaOCl exposure caused alterations in the chemistry and structure of collagen in dentine. FTIR spectra obtained from dentine surfaces and dentine adjacent to root canals exposed to NaOCl, all consistently showed degradation and conformational change of the collagen structure. FTIR data from the ex vivo model showed that the depth of effect of NaOCl extended to at least 0.5 mm from the canal wall. CONCLUSION In extracted human teeth, NaOCl caused changes in dentinal collagen that were measurable by FTIR. In an ex vivo model, the depth of effect into dentine extended at least 0.5 mm from the canal wall.

Abstract
Background: Many patients consider removal of caries to be a very unpleasant experience. Removal of caries with conventional drill is considered traumatic mainly due to fear and anxiety of children and their parents. Minimally invasive dentistry adopts a philosophy that integrates prevention, remineralization, and minimal intervention for the placement and replacement of restorations, thus reaching the treatment objective using the least invasive surgical approach, with the removal of the minimal amount of healthy tissues. Chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR) is a method for minimally invasive, gentle dentin caries removal based on biological principles which is an effective alternative to the traditional method. The present study was done to compare the microhardness of sound dentin before and after carious removal using a chemomechanical method and a conventional method. Materials and Methods: The present in vitro study was done on 28 proximal surfaces of fourteen extracted primary molars (with active caries on one proximal surface and sound side as control). The study was done to assess the Knoop microhardness of remaining dentinal surface after caries removal using a slow speed conventional bur and a chemomechanical method (Carie-Care™). Results and Conclusion: The rotary instrument group showed a consistent microhardness value with not much difference according to depth. The chemomechanical group showed a lesser microhardness value closer to the cavity floor than away from it. The microhardness values at all depths were significantly different for each treatment group with an increased value seen in the rotary group. The mean microhardness values of residual dentin in treated side were found to be insignificant when compared among each interval in each group. The microhardness of sound dentin had high significant difference from that of residual dentin in both the rotary group and the chemomechanical group.

Abstract
Functional loads on an organ induce tissue adaptations by converting mechanical energy into chemical energy at a cell-level. The transducing capacity of cells alters physico-chemical properties of tissues, developing a positive feedback commonly recognized as the form-function relationship. In this study, organ and tissue adaptations were mapped in the bone-tooth complex by identifying and correlating biomolecular expressions to physico-chemical properties in rats from 1.5 to 15 months. However, future research using hard and soft chow over relevant age groups would decouple the function related effects from aging affects. Progressive curvature in the distal root with increased root resorption was observed using micro X-ray computed tomography. Resorption was correlated to the increased activity of multinucleated osteoclasts on the distal side of the molars until 6 months using tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Interestingly, mononucleated TRAP positive cells within PDL vasculature were observed in older rats. Higher levels of glycosaminoglycans were identified at PDL-bone and PDL-cementum entheses using alcian blue stain. Decreasing biochemical gradients from coronal to apical zones, specifically biomolecules that can induce osteogenic (biglycan) and fibrogenic (fibromodulin, decorin) phenotypes, and PDL-specific negative regulator of mineralization (asporin) were observed using immunohistochemistry. Heterogeneous distribution of Ca and P in alveolar bone, and relatively lower contents at the entheses, were observed using energy dispersive X-ray analysis. No correlation between age and microhardness of alveolar bone (0.7 ± 0.1 to 0.9 ± 0.2 GPa) and cementum (0.6 ± 0.1 to 0.8 ± 0.3 GPa) was observed using a microindenter. However, hardness of cementum and alveolar bone at any given age were significantly different (P<0.05). These observations should be taken into account as baseline parameters, during development (1.5 to 4 months), growth (4 to 10 months), followed by a senescent phase (10 to 15 months), from which deviations due to experimentally induced perturbations can be effectively investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study investigated the clinical significance of secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), in the development and progression of gastric cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze SPARC, integrin beta1, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression in 436 clinicopathologically characterized gastric cancer cases. RESULTS SPARC, integrin beta1, and MMP-2 protein levels were upregulated in gastric cancer lesions compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues. SPARC protein was detected in 334 of 436 human gastric cancer cases and was highly expressed in 239 tumors. We also found a positive correlation between expression of SPARC and MMP2, and SPARC and integrin beta1. In stages I, II, and III, the 5-year survival rate of patients with a high expression of SPARC was significantly lower than those in patients with low expression. In stage IV, SPARC expression did not correlate with the 5-year survival rate. Further multivariate analysis suggested that the depth of invasion; lymph node and distant metastasis; tumor-node-metastasis stage; and upregulation of SPARC, MMP-2, and integrin beta1, were independent prognostic indicators for the disease. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided a basis for the development of a novel biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer. Expression of SPARC in gastric cancer is significantly associated with lymph node and distant metastasis, high MMP2 expression, high intergrin beta1 expression, and poor prognosis. SPARC, intergrin beta1, and MMP-2 protein could be useful markers to predict tumor progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most of current dental adhesive systems show favorable immediate results in terms of retention and sealing of bonded interface, thereby counteracting polymerization shrinkage that affects resin-based restorative materials. Despite immediate efficacy, there are major concerns when dentin bonded interfaces are tested after aging even for short time period, i.e. 6 months. METHODS This study critically discusses the latest peer-reviewed reports related to formation, aging and stability of resin bonding, focusing on the micro and nano-phenomena related to adhesive interface degradation. RESULTS Most simplified one-step adhesives were shown to be the least durable, while three-step etch-and-rinse and two-step self-etch adhesives continue to show the highest performances, as reported in the overwhelming majority of studies. In other words, a simplification of clinical application procedures is done to the detriment of bonding efficacy. Among the different aging phenomena occurring at the dentin bonded interfaces, some are considered pivotal in degrading the hybrid layer, particularly if simplified adhesives are used. Insufficient resin impregnation of dentin, high permeability of the bonded interface, sub-optimal polymerization, phase separation and activation of endogenous collagenolytic enzymes are some of the recently reported factors that reduce the longevity of the bonded interface. SIGNIFICANCE In order to overcome these problems, recent studies indicated that (1) resin impregnation techniques should be improved, particularly for two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives; (2) the use of conventional multi-step adhesives is recommended, since they involve the use of a hydrophobic coating of nonsolvated resin; (3) extended curing time should be considered to reduce permeability and allow a better polymerization of the adhesive film; (4) proteases inhibitors as additional primer should be used to increase the stability of the collagens fibrils within the hybrid layer inhibiting the intrinsic collagenolytic activity of human dentin.

Abstract
Decorin and biglycan, two small leucine-rich proteoglycans, have been proposed to play important roles in matrix-mediated formation of mineralized tissues, and their three-dimensional arrangement in human dentin is still not completely understood. The aim of this study was to immunohistochemically analyze the distribution of decorin and biglycan in human predentin/dentin organic matrix under a high-resolution field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope (FEI-SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Tooth dentin specimens were submitted to either a preembedding or a postembedding immunolabeling technique using primary antibodies antidecorin and antibiglycan and gold-conjugated secondary antibodies. Correlative FEI-SEM/TEM observations showed that the two antibodies yielded a similar labeling pattern over the processes of odontoblasts and the predentin. Decorin and biglycan were mainly associated with the collagen fibers within the predentin layer, revealing a moderate immunoreaction that was significantly higher compared to the one observed on dentin. Thus, a generally weak labeling for decorin was found in dentin, which, however, was significantly higher on odontoblast processes within dentinal tubules than in intertubular dentin. On the other hand, biglycan immunolocalization on dentin revealed few gold particles rather uniformly distributed, without showing significant differences between tubular and intertubular regions. In conclusion, this study reveals distinct distribution patterns of decorin and biglycan and their relation with collagen. Decorin's and biglycan's precise roles within prematrix and mineralized matrix in human teeth should be further clarified.

Abstract
AIM To identify type I- (I-CF) and type III-collagen fibrils (III-CF) and chondroitin 4/6 sulphate (CS) within human pre-dentine by means of a correlative analysis under field emission in-lens-scanning electron microscopy (FEI-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). METHODOLOGY Human-extracted teeth were obtained and submitted to either a pre-embedding or a post-embedding immunolabelling procedure using monoclonal primary antibodies anti-I-CF, anti-III-CF and anti-CS. Gold-conjugated secondary antibodies were coupled to primary antibodies to visualize labelling under the electron beam. Correlative labelling patterns were obtained for I-CF and CS under both FEI-SEM and TEM. RESULTS Field emission in lens-SEM analysis revealed an intricate three-dimensional network of I-CF and CS clarifying the intimate relationship between the two main components of the pre-dentine organic matrix. TEM analysis revealed odontoblasts exhibiting intracellular labelling for CS, which became more intense and diffuse over the pre-dentine organic matrix. The same diffuse immunoreaction was revealed for I-CF, whereas a weak immunolocalization of III-CF was found scattered throughout the pre-dentine layer and over the collagen fibrils. CONCLUSIONS Both the pre- and post-embedding immunohistochemical approaches have led to the visualization of CF- and CS-labelling distribution within the pre-dentine layer, adding further knowledge on the elucidation of collagen-proteoglycans interaction in the organic matrix of human dental roots.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preservation of structural and biochemical properties of the root dentin matrix is crucial to favor healing and regenerative periodontal processes. Aim of this study was to evaluate the biochemical characteristics of collagen and chondroitin sulphate of root dentin surfaces exposed by periodontal disease after acid conditioning by means of an immunohistochemical technique. DESIGN Human teeth scheduled for extraction due to periodontal reason were submitted to: (A) scaling and root planning; (B) ultrasonic instrumentation; (C) no instrumentation. Teeth were then exposed to: (1) 10% citric acid; (2) 17% EDTA; (3) no etching. A double immunolabeling technique was performed to identify type-I collagen and proteoglycans and analyzed under FEI-SEM. RESULTS Use of 10% citric acid revealed intense labeling for collagen fibrils and proteoglycans; lower labeling was found after EDTA conditioning. Unetched specimens showed residual smear layer on the dentin surface resulting in no evident surface labeling. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the hypothesis that manual or ultrasonic instrumentation alone is not able to expose the sound dentin matrix, whereas a subsequent acidic conditioning exposes collagen fibrils and associated proteoglycans. The immunohistochemical technique revealed that despite their acidity, both citric acid and EDTA were able to preserve the structural and biochemical properties of the exposed dentin matrix.

Abstract
Antigenic alterations to the dentin organic matrix may be detected by an immunohistochemical approach. We hypothesized that alterations in the antigenicity of type I collagen and proteoglycans occur in sclerotic dentin under caries lesions. Transverse sections were prepared from carious teeth in the sclerotic zone and normal hard dentin. A double-immunolabeling technique was performed on these sections, with anti-type I collagen and anti-chondroitin 4/6 sulfate monoclonal primary antibodies. We used gold-conjugated secondary antibodies to visualize the distribution of intact collagen fibrils and proteoglycans by high-resolution SEM. For sclerotic dentin, labeling densities were 19.57 +/- 3.01/microm2 for collagen and 9.84 +/- 2.62/microm2 for proteoglycans. For normal hard dentin, values were 35.20 +/- 2.73/microm2 and 17.03 +/- 1.98/microm2, respectively. Distribution of intact collagen fibrils and proteoglycans in sclerotic dentin was significantly lower than in normal hard dentin. Reductions in antigenicity from the organic matrix of sclerotic dentin under caries lesions raise concern about the potential of intrafibrillar remineralization.

Abstract
Previously, we described the development of hyaluronan (HA) deposition in human tooth germ tissues that are consistent with water transport in different stages of tooth development. The aquaporins (AQP) constitute a family of membrane water channels that are expressed in many organs. However, there are no data available about the expression pattern of aquaporin water channels in dental structures. In the present study we have characterised the expression of six different aquaporin isoforms (AQP1-5, AQP-9) in developing human and mouse tooth germs by immunohistochemistry using isoform specific antibodies. In the "bell stage" AQP1 was expressed in endothelial cells of small vessels whereas no other structures of the tooth primordial were labeled. AQP2, AQP3 and AQP9 immunoreactivity was not observed in tooth germs, whereas strong AQP4 and AQP5 expression was observed in dental lamina, inner enamel epithelium, stratum intermedium, stellate reticulum and the outer enamel epithelium. Oral epithelium also exhibited AQP4 and AQP5 immunolabeling. During development of the matrices of the dental hard tissues AQP4 and AQP5 immunostaining was observed in the odontoblasts and their processes, as well as in the secretory ameloblast and their apical processes. Immunolabeling controls were negative. In conclusion, AQP4 and AQP5 are expressed in tooth germ tissues in early development in cells that previously have been shown to express HA and/or CD44, indicating that AQP water channels may play a role for ECM hydration during tooth development.

Abstract
Immunocytochemical analysis is a fundamental and selective technique for identifying different molecular components of human dental structure. The hypothesis tested here is that the application of different etching solutions on dentin does not hinder collagen fibrils and proteoglycans from maintaining their immunochemical antigenicity. Human dentin disks were treated with 0.5M of EDTA, citric acid, maleic acid, or phosphoric acid (for 15 or 30 s). A double-immunolabeling technique was performed to identify, simultaneously, collagen fibrils and chondroitin sulfate. The use of different acids resulted in different degrees of labeling. Maleic and citric acids revealed a diffuse and intense labeling for both collagen fibrils and proteoglycans. The use of phosphoric acid on dentin showed a massive coagulation of the proteoglycans (15 s) or very low labeling (30 s). These data clarify that the use of acids on dentin components is able to modify their antigenicity. Moreover, the double-labeling immunocytochemical technique allows understanding of the spatial relationships between the collagen fibrils and proteoglycans of the dentin matrix.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Differential diagnosis of cementifying fibroma, ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia by histological evaluation is often difficult. The aim of this study was to examine the immunoreactivities for keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S) glycosaminoglycans of the histological samples obtained from mandibles of patients with these diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The samples were collected from three patients with cementifying fibroma, two with ossifying fibroma and three with fibrous dysplasia and were subjected to immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS The results demonstrated that a significant immunoreactivity for KS was found in lacunae housing cells in the cementum-particles of cementifying fibromas, while both ossifying fibromas and fibrous dysplasias showed no significant immunoreactivity for KS. For C4S, while the former showed little immunoreactivity, the latter two cases exhibited intensive immunostaining in the pre- and poorly mineralized matrices. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that cementifying fibromas could be distinguished from these fibro-osseous tumors by using immunohistochemical analysis for KS and C4S.

Abstract
Dentin proteoglycans are fundamental constituents of the dentin matrix and are distributed ubiquitously both in dentin and cement. They have several important functional properties; in particular, they have a fundamental role in the maintenance and the correct stabilization of collagen fibers. The use of phosphoric acid on dentin, as proposed in most common dental adhesive systems to establish a reliable bond, may affect the molecular structure of proteoglycans. The aim of this study was to evaluate, after the application of EDTA or phosphoric acid on dentin, the dentin proteoglycans with an immunocytochemical approach with high resolution SEM. For this purpose, dentin disks obtained from recently extracted human molars were etched with a 35% water solution of phosphoric acid for 15 s, 30 s, and 60 s. Control specimens were conditioned with EDTA. Specimens were immunolabeled with a monoclonal antibody antichondroitin sulfate and visualized with a gold-conjugated secondary antibody. Conditioning dentin with EDTA resulted in a distinct labeling of the proteoglycans, as visualized on branching fibrillar structures in the order of 10-20 nm. The use of 35% phosphoric acid on dentin revealed a coagulation of proteoglycans after etching for 15 s while a very low labeling signal was detectable after 30 s. No labeling was obtained after etching dentin with phosphoric acid for 60 s. These results suggest that the use of 35% phosphoric acid on dentin is able to produce significant structural modifications of the dentin proteoglycans even after short application times. Additionally, when applied on the dentin surface for more than 30 s, phosphoric acid produces a dramatic decrease in proteoglycans' antigenicity, probably due to structural modifications of the three-dimensional conformation of these molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontoma-like structures are formed in the jaw bone of osteopetrotic (op/op) mice, which have a congenital deficiency in osteoclastic differentiation due to the absence of functional macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). METHODS To clarify the histopathogenesis of tooth malformation and odontoma-like structures, a 2-year postnatal process of development of the op/op mandibular incisor was examined radiologically and histologically. At the same time, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling around tooth germs was analyzed immunohistochemically. RESULTS Abnormal forms of op/op tooth germ were noticeable even at 3 days after birth on a radiogram. Histologically, op/op mice were clearly distinguished by the disappearance of dental follicular space at 3 days. With aging, bone trabeculae, which were not remodeled, penetrated into op/op tooth germs and divided them into several daughter germs, which were recognized as odontomas. In mandibular incisor bodies, the immature ECM components, such as heparan sulfate proteoglycan and tenascin, were preserved diffusely in the dental papilla/pulp, which indicates that maturation of the stroma does not take place in op/op mandibular incisors. CONCLUSION The observation suggests that the disturbed morphogenesis of op/op tooth germs is functionally explained by the disordered immunolocalization of ECM molecules, and that the dental follicular space is essential for normal tooth development because it prevents bone penetration into the tooth germs.

Abstract
The odontoblast phenotype has been mainly approached by the biochemical characterization of dentin matrix proteins and by extrapolation of the knowledge of bone cell biology, since dentin and bone share many similarities. In fact, direct investigations of the odontoblast phenotype have been hindered by the limited number of cells within the dental pulp and the difficulty in microdissection and isolation of a pure population of these cells. To overcome these obstacles, we previously developed a cell-culture system that promotes differentiation of human dental pulp cells into odontoblasts. This material now permits the study of odontoblasts through molecular biology techniques. Therefore, we constructed a cDNA library enriched for odontoblast-specific genes using the suppression subtractive hybridization technique (SSH). This library led us to identify new genes expressed by odontoblasts. In this paper, we will focus on some genes implied in various functions associated with odontoblast differentiation, such as cell polarization (MAP1B), dentin mineralization (PHEX, osteoadherin), and relationships between odontoblasts and nerve cells (reelin). Another important fact is that about 40% of the cDNA were unknown genes. Therefore, one can speculate that some of them will be odontoblast-specific, since, until now, only one gene (DSPP) presents this characteristic.

Abstract
Because the extracellular matrices of dentin and bone are composed mainly of type I collagen, their characteristics are determined by the nature of noncollagenous proteins (NCPs). Among these NCPs, some proteoglycans (PGs) belong to the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs). Recently, osteoadherin (OSAD) has been described as a new member of this family, that is expressed by mature bovine osteoblasts. Here, we report the expression of OSAD messenger RNA (mRNA) in human dental tissues and during the development of rat molars, using in situ hybridization. For this purpose, we constructed a probe for OSAD mRNA transcripts from human odontoblast cells cultured in vitro. Our results indicate that the mature human odontoblasts overexpress the OSAD gene as compared with cells present in the pulp core. In rat developing molars, mRNA transcripts were first detected in alveolar bone in 19-day-old embryos. At the same age, no signal was detected in any cell of the first molar. In more mature teeth (newborn and 2-day-old rats), OSAD expression starts in the polarized odontoblasts and increases in the secretory and mature odontoblasts, respectively. Interestingly, a similar pattern of expression was observed in the ameloblast layer responsible for the deposition of enamel mineralized matrix. Together, these results lead us to speculate that OSAD may be implicated in biomineralization processes.

Abstract
Chemomechanical caries removal involves the chemical softening of carious dentine followed by its removal by gentle excavation. The reagent involved is generated by mixing amino acids with sodium hypochlorite; N-monochloroamino acids are formed which selectively degrade demineralised collagen in carious dentine. The procedure requires 5-15 minutes but avoids the painful removal of sound dentine thereby reducing the need for local anaesthesia. It is well suited to the treatment of deciduous teeth, dental phobics and medically compromised patients. The dentine surface formed is highly irregular and well suited to bonding with composite resin or glass ionomer. When complete caries removal is achieved, the dentine remaining is sound and properly mineralised. The system was originally marketed in the USA in the 1980's as Caridex. Large volumes of solution and a special applicator system were required. A new system, Carisolv, has recently been launched on to the market. This comes as a gel, requires volumes of 0.2-1.0 ml and is accompanied by specially designed instruments.
