    Quorum sensing system mediated by LuxS based on signal molecule autoinduccers - 2 ( AI - 2) facilitates interspecies communication. This signaling system has been also identified in Streptococcus mutans, which has been concerned as the main pathogenic bacteria in cariogenic biofilm in oral. The development of the effect of LuxS in biofilm formation, virulence factor production and the communication with other oral bacterias of Streptococcus mutans will be introduced in this article.

    Infection of Enterococcus faecalis in Root Canal
    WEN Jing, FAN Bing
    Inter J Stomatol. 2007, 34 (01):  13-13~15. 
    Abstract ( 1762 )   HTML ( 11 )   PDF(pc) (33KB) ( 1407 )   Save
    A recognized pathogen in post- treatment endodontic infections, Enterococcus faecali(s E. faecalis)is frequently isolated both in mixed flora and in monocultures. E. faecalis is rarely present in primary apical periodontitis,
    but it is the dominant microorganism in root - filled teeth presenting with post - treatment apical periodontitis. It is probably the species that can best adapt to and tolerate the ecologically demanding conditions in the filled root canal. Eradication of E. faecalis from the root canal with chemomechanical preparation and using disinfecting irrigants and antibacterial dressings remains a challenge.

    Cementogenesis on a root surface previously exposed by periodontal disease is a prerequisite for periodontal regeneration. The extent of periodontal regeneration largely depends on the regenerative potential at the root
    surface. The mechanism of cementogenesis and the exact locations of the cementoblasts or their precursors are still not well known until now. More and more experimental studies have focused on this field. The article reviewed the
    studies on cells associated with cementum, proposed the viewpoints on the location of cementoblast- precusors and the origin of cementoblasts. In the review, an animal cementoblasts model established for the study on formation mechanism of cementum was also mentioned.

    In 1980s, the technique of placing porcelain- fused- to- metal restorations spread in dentistry. The single crown and bridge restorations consisted of non- precious alloys such as Ni- Cr alloys are widely used due to superior aesthetic appearance and good mechanical properties. However, fracture of the porcelain has occurred in function because of the porcelain brittle, tooth preparation, laboratory mistakes and so on. One option is to remake the restoration itself, which is both costly and time consuming. An alternative method is to repair the deficiency using one of the bonding systems and composite resins. This article is to review the clinical application of porcelain repair techniques.

    Objective To investigate the association of the dental wedge-shaped defect(non- carious cervical lesion)with its abrasion in Chinese 1 839 premolars. Methods To observe the morphology of non-carious cervical lesions and the situation of abrasion on the occlusal surface. The depth and width of cervical lesions were measured. Results Wedge-shaped defect was found in 644 premolars and the incidence was 35.02%. There was significant difference in incidence of lesion among different kinds of premolars(P<0.05). And the incidence of cervical lesion between teeth with and without abrasion was different( P<0.05). As abrasion on the occlusal surface developed, the depth and width of lesions increased(P<0.01). The morphology of lesion was related to abrasion on the occlusal surface(P<0.05)Conclusion The development of wedge- shaped defect in premolar is associated with its occlusal abrasion.
