Original Article:
A spectroscopic assessment of interaction between 4% articaine hydrochloride with adrenaline and various endodontic irrigants
Kristam Lakshmi Shivaraj, Balasubramanian Saravana Karthikeyan, Nandini Suresh, Velmurugan Natanasabapathy
Dent Res J
2020, 17:347 (4 September 2020)
DOI

Background:
Interaction between 2% lidocaine HCl (with and without adrenaline) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) resulted in a toxic precipitate formation. The aim of this
in vitro
study was to assess the interaction between 4% articaine hydrochloride with adrenaline (AHa) and commonly used endodontic irrigants 3% NaOCl, 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) using spectroscopic analyses.
Materials and Methods:
In this
in vitro
study, 3% NaOCl, 2% CHX, and 17% EDTA were mixed with 4% AHa individually. 1.7 ml of 4% AHa from the cartridge was mixed with 1.7 ml of each test irrigants. The solutions were subjected to a preliminary ultraviolet spectroscopic (UVS) analysis to assess forpotential interactions (if any). If the interaction was detected, the test solutions were further subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis for characterization. The precipitate formed (if any) was then subjected to NMR analysis.
Results:
UVS analysis revealed a bathochromic shift when 3% NaOCl and 2% CHX were mixed with 4% AHa, respectively. This shift was not observed when EDTA was mixed with 4% AHa. 1H and 13C NMR spectra confirmed the interaction between 3% NaOCl with 4% AHa, which resulted in a precipitate formation, methyl 3-amino-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (MAMC). The analysis of 1H NMR spectra showed peaks at 7.1 ppm, 2.21 ppm, and 9.93 ppm, respectively, which corresponds to aromatic ring protons. A peak at 3.8 ppm was assigned to methyl proton of methyl ester. The characteristic appearance of peaks at 14.82 and 51.16 ppm corresponds to aliphatic carbons. The five peaks occurring at 126, 134.5, 139.2, 156.5, and 162.9 ppm correspond to the aromatic carbon atoms present in the thiophene unit. NMR spectra revealed no interaction between 2% CHX and 4% AHa. 1H and 13C NMR spectra confirmed that 3% NaOCl interacted with 4% AHa, leading to the formation of a precipitate MAMC.
Conclusion:
3% NaOCl interacted with 4% AHa leading to the formation of a precipitate MAMC which is reported to exhibit the least toxicity. Until the precipitate is studied further, it would be advisable to avoid the immediate use of NaOCl following administration of intrapulpal anesthetic solution with articaine hydrochloride (with adrenaline).

Original Article:
Association of temporomandibular joint morphology in patients with and without temporomandibular joint dysfunction: A cone-beam computed tomography based study
Anuridhi Choudhary, Upasana Sethi Ahuja, Akshay Rathore, Nidhi Puri, Manu Dhillon, Akansha Budakoti
Dent Res J
2020, 17:338 (4 September 2020)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.294334
Background:
The etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is complex and associated with multiple predisposing and initiating factors. Articular eminence morphology and steep eminence inclination have been postulated as the etiological factors, but there has been no clear evidence of association of morphology of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) complex as a probable predisposing factor in the pathogenesis of TMDs.
Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional, case–control study, and cone-beam computed tomography scans, and the evaluation was performed for 60 joints in 30 patients with symptomatic TMDs and for 40 healthy joints of 20 age-matched patients. One-way ANOVA,
post hoc
, unpaired
t
-test, Chi-square, and intra-class correlation coefficient test were used to determine the correlation between the TMJ articular eminence inclination, height, condylar bone changes, condyle, and fossa shapes with symptomatic TMDs. The
P
< 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results:
There was a statistically significant difference of articular eminence inclination and height with a steeper eminence inclination in the control group (
P
= 0.044*, and 0.035*). The condylar bone changes were found to be significantly more in the TMJ disorder group (
P
= 0.001*). There was no significant association of condyle and fossa shapes (
P
= 0.482 and 0.689) and of articular eminence inclination and height with condylar bone changes (
P
= 0.695, 0.498, 0.192, and 0.823) and condyle shapes (
P
= 0.389, 0.521, 0.260, and 0.387). The eminence inclination was not associated with fossa shapes (
P
= 0.471 and 0.086), but eminence height was associated with fossa shapes in the TMJ disorder group (
P
= 0.043* and 0.111).
Conclusion:
The results depicted that there was no significant association between TMJ complex anatomy and TMJ disorders in the present study population.
