Ceramic bracket bonding: a comparison of bond strength with polyacrylic acid and phosphoric acid enamel conditioning.

The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro shear bond strength with three different enamel surface preparations: (1) 37% phosphoric acid etch, (2) sulfated polyacrylic acid etch with removal of crystals by vigorous rinsing and (3) polyacrylic acid etch with crystal growth. Forty extracted human premolar teeth were divided into four groups of ten. Ceramic brackets were bonded to teeth in each of three groups. The fourth group used was bonded with metal brackets and a phosphoric acid enamel preparation. The same lightly filled resin cement was used for all groups. A shearing force was applied to the teeth. The results demonstrated that the shear force needed to debond with ceramic brackets was 21% greater than the shear force with metal brackets. The polyacrylic acid crystal growth group had shear bond strength values approximately one half as great as the phosphoric acid etch group when ceramic brackets were used. Bond failures in the phosphoric acid etch group were at the bracket/resin interface with the bulk of the resin remaining on the tooth compared with the polyacrylic acid crystal growth group in which the bond failure was at the enamel resin interface. Enamel fractures were not found when healthy nonrestored teeth were subjected to the shearing force. In a preliminary test using phosphoric acid etch and teeth with compromised enamel (large restorations involving three or more surfaces), half of the teeth fractured during debonding. The study demonstrated that a polyacrylic acid conditioning of the enamel surface produces different retentive surfaces, depending on the presence or absence of crystal growth.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Formic acid as a milder alternative to trifluoroacetic acid and phosphoric acid in two-dimensional peptide mapping.

In reversed-phase chromatography of peptides, formic acid has been shown to successfully replace the stronger traditional trifluoroacetic and phosphoric acids. Detection of non-aromatic peptide at lower wavelength is not impaired and being volatile the acid is easily removed, enabling further studies of the peptides. Also in ion-exchange chromatography (the first step of a two-dimensional approach) formic acid works well with a sulphonic acid ion-exchange resin.

Direct bonding comparing a polyacrylic acid and a phosphoric acid technique.

The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro a polyacrylic acid technique (crystal bonding) with a conventional phosphoric acid-etch technique for the preparation of teeth for bonding. The potential value of the polyacrylic acid technique was evaluated for bond strength, enamel loss, cleanup, and fracture location--with and without the use of a sealant. Ninety-six premolars were evenly divided into two groups. Group A was preconditioned with polyacrylic acid and group B with phosphoric acid. Half of each group was treated with a sealant before direct bonding of orthodontic brackets. Sealant was not used on the other half of each group and brackets were bonded directly to the conditioned labial surfaces with a composite cement. Bonding and rebonding shear strength tests were carried out for both groups. Results indicated that shear bond strength values for the polyacrylic acid group were approximately one third those of the phosphoric acid group using a composite cement as the adhesive. Enamel loss was measured on the lingual surfaces of 30 of the 96 premolars. The lingual surfaces were conditioned with polyacrylic acid. Following debonding and cleanup procedures, the polyacrylic acid treated surface was left slightly pitted with no resin tags remaining. Cleanup procedures required only a rubber-cup silicate prophylaxis. The total enamel loss was minimal (4.5 micron), thus preserving most of the outermost fluoride-rich layer of enamel.

[Phosphoric acid ester preparations used in cattle, swine and sheep with special reference to cholinesterase activity. 3. Use of phosphoric acid ester preparations and their effect on acetylcholinesterase activity in swine].

The use of organophosphorus preparations in the treatment of ectoparasites and endoparasites of pigs is discussed. Treatment of 43 store pigs with preparations produced in the German Democratic Republic by washing and by the pour-on method resulted in considerable inactivation of acetylcholinesterase, which implies good systemic action. Overdosage increased this effect, but without producing signs of toxicity. The oral dosages for pigs cited in the literature were confirmed. Repeated treatment was recommended for the best results, as pigs rapidly break down the preparations. It is necessary to take into account adverse effects of oral administration on palatability of the ration and on weight gain. Addition of a preparation to a batch of food for a group of pigs is likely to be less successful than individual dosing, which is the best method for sows.

[Phosphoric acid ester preparations used in cattle, swine and sheep with special reference to cholinesterase activity. 4. Use of phosphoric acid esters and their effect on acetylcholinesterase activity in sheep].

The use of organophosphorus preparations for the control of ectoparasites and endoparasites of sheep, particularly systemic application, is discussed. Experiments on 13 groups of sheep with five preparations produced in the German Democratic Republic in various formulations and concentrations showed that external application had good contact activity, but little was absorbed. Acetylcholinesterase activity was not inhibited, except by pour-on application of doses several times the normal dose. The preparations were arranged in order of cholinesterase inhibition. In contrast to cattle, diminished cholinesterase activity was unreliable as in indicator of systemic toxicity of organophosphorus preparations in sheep.

Effects of phosphoric acid and tannic acid on dentine collagen.

We examined the effects of phosphoric acid, the most common enamel etchant in composite resin therapy, on dentine collagen. Dentine collagen pretreated with 7M phosphoric acid was shown to be more susceptible to trypsin digestion than untreated collagen. This susceptibility increased with increasing duration of exposure to the acid. The results indicate that phosphoric acid induces a conformational change in dentine collagen (denaturation or perturbation) similar to that observed with 0.39 M HCl, which has a similar pH value (0.65). However, phosphoric acid-pretreated dentine collagen, when treated with tannic acid for 2 h, became as resistant to tryptic digestion as intact dentine collagen. The present results suggest that tannic acid may work as a dentine conditioner in composite resin therapy, in view of the fact that phosphoric acid etchant is applied, either deliberately or inadvertently, to dentine, and would thus induce denaturation or perturbation of collagen.

The use of 50 per cent phosphoric acid as an etching agent in orthodontics: a rational approach.

The chemical treatment of enamel surfaces is an approach used in obtaining increased adhesion of dental materials to tooth surfaces. One of the conditioning solutions extensively used prior to the direct bonding of orthodontic attachments is a 50 per cent phosphoric acid solution. The object of this investigation was to study the effect of various concentrations of phosphoric acid on the bond strength of an epoxy adhesive formulation developed for the direct bonding of orthodontic attachments. Furthermore, an attempt was made to quantitate the etching action of the phosphoric acid solutions by determining the depth of etch on polished enamel surfaces and recording the surface profiles of etched enamel surfaces by means of a surface-roughness measuring instrument. The use of 50 per cent phosphoric acid solution as a conditioning agent prior to the use of the epoxy adhesive formulation is advocated. The rationale supporting this recommendation includes (1) the bond strength of the epoxy adhesive system to enamel surfaces etched with 50 per cent H3PO4 is not significantly improved by the use of phosphoric acid at any other concentration; (2) the depth of etch obtained with 50 per cent H3PO4 is less than that observed with H3PO4 solution at concentrations which produce comparable bond strengths; (3) the surface roughness of enamel surfaces etched with 50 per cent H3PO4 is greater than that obtained with more dilute acid solutions. The optimal phosphoric acid concentration should be determined for each adhesive system.

[Development of dental quick casting with zircon-phosphoric acid investments].

The application of zircon (ZrSiO4) that has high refractoriness, high thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, to quick casting investment was studied. Various zircon powders and phosphoric acid solutions were tested with respect to the higher thermal shock resistance. The formulation and properties of zircon-phosphoric acid investment materials such as water/powder ratio, fluidity of slurry, setting time, setting expansion, thermal expansion, thermal analysis, green and fired compressive strength were measured. Formulation of zircon slurry for coating was zircon flower #600 30%, zircon flower #350 10%, and zircon sand CP 60%, and that for sanding was zircon flower #200. The mixing liquid was 15% phosphoric acid and liquid/powder ratio was 0.1. The slurry using phosphoric acid had good fluidity and good workability. The 24-hour green strength was 1 MPa, fired strength was 10 MPa, 24-hour setting expansion was -0.04% and the thermal expansion at 1000 degrees C was 0.31%. Immediately after coating with zircon slurry, the coating layer was dried, sintered and dewaxed by thermal shock. The thermal shock consisted of the following four-step manipulations. The first is hot air drying (50 degrees C, 5 minutes), the second is heat shock (900 degrees C, 3 seconds), the third is redrying (220 degrees C, 3 minutes) and the fourth is dewaxing (550 degrees C, 3 minutes). Small casting of pure titanium and K-metal could be done successfully by the quick casting method using the zircon-phosphoric acid investments. It was found that the total expansion of the secondary investments influenced the casting adapatability.

Effect of carbonated beverages and of an antiemetic containing carbohydrate and phosphoric acid on riboflavin bioavailability and salicylamide biotransformation in humans.

Two carbohydrate-phosphoric acid solutions, one a widely used beverage (Solution C) and the other a pharmaceutical product used as an antiemetic (Solution E), administered together with riboflavin-5'-phosphate or salicylamide to healthy human adults, significantly increased the bioavailability of riboflavin and appreciably altered the metabolic fate of salicylamide (increased conversion to the sulfate and decreased formation of the glucuronide). A beverage containing phosphoric acid but no carbohydrates (Solution T) also increased the bioavailability of riboflavin but not as much as Solution C. These effects are attributed to a decrease of the gastric emptying rate caused by carbohydrates and phosphoric acid, consistent with the empirical use of Solution C syrup and Solution E as antinauseants and antiemetics. The results demonstrate also that the choice of beverage to be taken with medication can affect the bioavailability and/or metabolic fate of medicinals with saturable absorption and/or biotransformation characteristics.

[Investigation into the effect of citric and phosphoric acids on planed root surfaces using S.E.M].

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of citric and phosphoric acid conditioning the diseased root surface on periodontally extracted teeth. Citric acid pH1 and 50 per cent phosphoric acid were topically applied to thoroughly scaled and planed root surfaces for one to three minutes. The specimens were then processed for scanning electron microscopy (S.E.M.) Root surfaces that had received acid treatment after root planing exhibited no smear layer and the overall surface appeared to have an undulating morphology. Whereas, examination of nonacid-treated specimens showed the presence of a smear layer. Furthermore, phosphoric acid treated surfaces demonstrated more irregularity with increasing application time.

Effect of dietary phosphoric acid supplementation on acid-base balance and mineral and bone metabolism in adult cats.

Experimental evidence indicates that maintenance of urinary pH < or = 6.4 is the single most effective means of preventing feline struvite crystalluria or urolithiasis of noninfectious causes. This may be accomplished by dietary acidification, but must be moderated to avoid potential adverse effects of excessive acidification, including bone demineralization, negative calcium balance, potassium depletion, and renal disease. Effects of chronic dietary phosphoric acid supplementation on acid-base balance and on mineral and bone metabolism were investigated in adult, domestic cats. One group of 6 cats was fed a basal, naturally acidifying diet without added acidifiers, and another group of 6 cats was fed 1.7% dietary phosphoric acid. Changes observed during 12 months of study included development of noncompensated metabolic acidosis, increased urinary calcium excretion, and lower but positive calcium balance in cats of both groups. Urinary pH decreased in cats of both groups, but was significantly (P < 0.05) and consistently maintained < or = 6.4 in cats given dietary phosphoric acid. Urinary phosphorus excretion increased in cats of both groups, but was significantly (P < 0.05) greater in phosphoric acid-supplemented cats, leading to lower overall phosphorus balance as well. Potassium balance decreased in cats of both groups, but was only transiently negative in the phosphoric acid-supplemented cats midway through the study, and normalized at positive values thereafter. Plasma taurine concentration was not affected by dietary acidification, and remained well within the acceptable reference range for taurine metabolism. Double labeling of bone in vivo with fluorescent markers was followed by bone biopsy and histomorphometric measurement of several static and dynamic variables of bone formation. Overall indices of bone formation decreased in cats of both groups with age and confinement, but were not affected by dietary phosphoric acid supplementation. Dietary supplementation with phosphoric acid used as the principal inorganic P source to achieve moderate and stable degree of urinary acidification, did not appear over the course of 1 year, to have induced adverse effects on mineral, bone, or taurine balance in these adult domestic cats.

Kinetics of hydroxyapatite dissolution in acetic, lactic, and phosphoric acid solutions.

The present study was undertaken in an attempt to relate the kinetics of hydroxyapatite dissolution to solution parameters, under experimental conditions relevant to the dental caries process. Thus, the dissolution of hydroxyapatite was studied in acetic, lactic, and dilute phosphoric acid solutions having initial pH values from 4 to 6. Rates of dissolution and the corresponding degree of saturation with respect to hydroxyapatite were determined at various times throughout the dissolution process. Rates of dissolution of all solutions were found to decrease with increasing degree of solution saturation and were greater in solutions with lower initial values of pH. However, rates of dissolution in partially saturated phosphoric acid solutions (without added organic acid) were at least one order of magnitude lower than those observed in the organic acid buffers with the same initial pH, over the same range of saturation values. The data obtained are consistent with a surface-controlled dissolution model in which the rate of dissolution is dependent upon the degree of saturation and the sum of the activities of the acidic species in solution, i.e., phosphoric and organic acids. These results suggest that in order to assess the cariogenic potential of a given medium (e.g., plaque fluid), one must determine both the degree of saturation with respect to the dissolving mineral and the activities of acidic species in solution.

Detection of DNA in mammalian tissues following removal of RNA with cold phosphoric acid.

The paper deals with the staining of nuclei in mammalian tissue sections with night blue, belonging to diphenylnaphthylmethane group and is devoid of any primary amino group in its molecules but is provided with a secondary amino group and tertiary amino groups. Staining of the DNA-phosphate groups with an aqueous solution of night blue depends upon selective removal of RNA from formalin-fixed mammalian tissues by the use of cold concentrated phosphoric acid for 20 min or 75% phosphoric acid in the cold for 2 h. Moreover, sections from which RNA has been extracted can be hydrolysed in 6N HCl at room temperature for 15 min and then can be stained with the aqueous solution of the dye. Sections of tissues after only acid hydrolysis and staining also reveal very satisfactory staining of the nuclei. Possible mechanism of staining has been suggested.

Phosphoric acid as a dentin etchant.

This study determined the effect of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) application to dentin on the shear bond strength (SBS) and microleakage of an experimental bonding system. Thirty human maxillary permanent first and second molars were used for the SBS evaluation. In 15 of the teeth the Dentin Conditioner was applied to dentin for 30 seconds (A), while in the remaining 15 teeth the smear layer was removed by the application of a 37% H3PO4 gel for 20 seconds (B). The Primers 1 and 2 were mixed and applied to the conditioned dentin followed by the application of the Dentin Bonding Resin prior to the placement in three increments of the Bisfil-M composite. The specimens were stored in physiological saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours prior to applying a shear load at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm. inch-1 in an Instron machine. Shear bond strengths were expressed in MPa. Circular Class V preparations were made on the roots of 30 maxillary permanent canines, 15 restored using the Dentin Conditioner (C) and 15 by removing the smear layer with the H3PO4 gel (D). Microleakage of the restorations was determined quantitatively by means of a spectrophotometric method. The quantitative microleakage was expressed as microgram dye/restoration. The data were analyzed by the Student t-test. The following results were obtained: A: 14.2 +/- 2.2 MPa; B: 7.2 +/- 4.2 MPa; C: 30.0 +/- 28.6 micrograms dye/restoration; (D) 10.3 +/- 8.2 micrograms dye/restoration. Removing the smear layer with H3PO4 reduced the SBS to dentin but decreased the quantitative microleakage significantly.

[Chronic broncopneumopathy and pneumoconiosis in workers employed in phosphoric acid production (author's transl)].

Thirty-five subjects employed in a phosphoric acid producing plant were studied by the authors. The investigation included: history, according to the C.E.C.A. questionnaire for chronic bronchitis and emphysema; physical examination, chest X-ray spirometry and lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide by the steady state method (DLCOSS). High prevalence of chronic bronchitis (45.7%), obstructive spirometric impairment (37.1%), and decreased values of DlcoSS (31.4%) were detected. Two subjects were found to be affected with p 1/0 and 7 with p 0/1 pneumoconiosis. Such findings were significantly related to the lenght of working activity as well as to dust and gaseous fluoride (hydrofluoric acid, hexafluorosilicic acid and silicon tetrafluoride) exposure.

Neutralizing phosphoric acid in the acid etch resin technique.

The use of an alkaline wetting agent, used to neutralize phosphoric acid in the acid etch technique, was investigated with respect to improving the bond strength and microleakage behaviour of composite resin. The alkaline wetting agent has been shown to prevent the accumulation of calcium biphosphates, as a result of secondary recrystallization of hydroxyapatite, within the depths of etched enamel. To examine the influence of the alkaline wetting agent on bond strength, composite cylinders were prepared on enamel surfaces of extracted third molar teeth and tested for shear bond strength. Microleakage behaviour was observed on class V oval preparations in the cervical thirds of extracted third molars using a dye penetration technique. No significant improvement in shear bond strength was demonstrated with the alkaline wetting agent over conventional acid etching. In addition, the microleakage observed following the use of the alkaline wetting was characteristic of that for conventional acid etching.

Behaviour of plasmalogens during high-performance liquid chromatography on a silica column with a mobile phase containing phosphoric acid.

Silica high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of phospho- and sphingolipids of biological origin using a mobile phase containing phosphoric acid leads to gradual hydrolysis of plasmalogens during their passage through the column. The resulting 2-acyl lyso analogues give rise to peaks that tail in the direction of the parent intact plasmalogen. Tailing can be prevented by previous complete acid hydrolysis of plasmalogens. Direct high-performance liquid chromatographic profiling of phospholipids, their plasmalogens (as 2-acyl lyso analogues) and sphingolipids is probably the method of choice for the diagnosis of patients with deficient plasmalogen biosynthesis caused by peroxisomal abnormalities.
