    Notes: Arylaminopeptidase activity in hydantoin induced hyperplastic, inflamed and healthy human gingiva was studied using various N-L-aminoacyl-2-naphthylamines as substrates. The activity was seen to be located in the basal cell layer of the epithelium in the entire connective tissue, but it was strongest just below the epithelium in all tissues. High enzymic activity was also observed in the inflammatory cells as well as in the capillary walls of hydantoinhyperplastic and inflamed gingiva. Strong enzymic activity was obtained when N-L-alanyl-, N-L-methionyl- and N-L-leacyl-2-naphthylamine were used as substrates. Moderate activity was observed with N-L-arginyl-2-naphthylamine and N-Llysyl-2-naphthylamine in other tissues except in healthy gingiva where the enzymic activity was low or nil. To test the possible involvement of aminopeptidase B in the material the reactions were performed both in the presence and absence of 0.2 M sodium chloride, which specifically activates this enzyme. There was no observable enzymic activity in any slices when N-L-prolyl-2-naphthylamine was used as substrate.The role of different arylaminopeptidases in connection with gingival hyperplasia caused by diphenylhydantoin and the evident absence of enzymes specific to N-L-prolyl-2-naphthylamine are discussed.

    Notes: Dental plaque extract in low doses inhibited the synthesis of collagen in cultured fetal rat calvaria. Using higher doses of the extract or longer treatment periods the synthesis of noncollagen proteins was also decreased. The denatured extract was as effective as the native one. Although the production of type I collagen in the treated bones was markedly decreased the hydroxylation stage of collagen was not altered. The results suggest that dental plaque extract inhibits the synthesis of collagen by bone cells, which may be one reason for the net loss of collagen of alveolar bone in periodontitis.

    Notes: The rate of cell proliferation, which is associated with the density of transferrin receptors on the cell surface, may have an effect on the homeostasis of epithelial cell populations in the dento-gingival junction. In addition to moderate labeling of basal cells, intensive labeling of transferrin receptors was found on suprabasal cells of sulcular epithelium towards the gingival margin of healthy tissues. In contrast, biopsies from diseased tissue exhibited increased labeling towards the base of the pocket. This distribution of labeling suggests that the distinct suprabasal population of cells expressing the transferrin receptors is associated with the process of pocket formation. The density of transferrin receptors decreased towards the lamina propria of gingiva and towards the apical termination of the junctional epithelium. In samples from periodontal pockets, the number of receptors was high eveo in the germinative cell layers. Labeled cells were also demonstrated in crevicular washings. The washing method together with the demonstration of transferrin receptors may provide a new approach for the study of epithelial cell homeostasis in the dento-gingival tissues.

    Notes: Hyaluronic acid synthesis was studied in human gingival fibroblast cultures exposed to human dental bacterial plaque extract. The cells were stimulated to produce large amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) into the culture medium. The extract did not have any direct effect on the activity of hyaluronic acid synthetase enzyme complex, indicating that the increased hyaluronic acid synthesis was caused by metabolic alterations in gingival cells. Dental plaque extract also decreased the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid. This was obviously caused by the plaque derived hyaluronidase, because denaturation of plaque proteins by heating prevented this degradation. On the other hand, the stimulatory effect on the HA synthesis by the plaque extract was not destroyed by heating. The increased production of low molecular weight HA by gingival fibroblasts after plaque exposure is suggested to have a role in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontal disease in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract. A newly developed metronidazole 25% dental gel was compared with subgingival scaling in the treatment of adult periodontitis. 206 patients in 9 centres participated in the study. Probing pocket depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded before treatment and 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks after the treatment. All patients had at least I tooth in each quadrant with a PPD of 5 mm or more. The treatments consisted of 2 applications of dental gel (days 0 and 7) in 2 randomly selected quadrants (split mouth design) and 2 sessions of subgingival scaling (1 quadrant on day 0, and 1 quadrant on day 7). Instruction in oral hygiene was given 2 weeks after completed treatment. The average PPD and the average frequency of BOP were calculated over all sites with initial PPD of 5 mm or more. PPD and BOP were thus, at each examination, calculated from the same sites. The mean PPD was 5.9 mm before gel application and 5.8 mm before scaling (p= 0.31). BOP was 88% in both treatment groups. 24 weeks after the treatment. PPD and BOP were significantly reduced in both groups and for both parameters (p 〈 0.01). PPD was reduced by 1.3 mm after gel application and 1.5 mm after scaling; BOP was reduced by 32% and 39%, respectively. The difference between the treatments was statistically significant, but considered as clinically unimportant.

    Notes: Summary The commerical collagenase fromClostridium histolyticum was adsorbed on hydroxyapatite, on bovine femur shaft and on enamel and dentin powders. The substrate specificity of the adsorbed enzyme tested, with chromophore substrate, azocoll and native collagen, differed from that obtained with the soluble enzyme. The adsorption and the substrate specificity was also dependent on the adsorbent used. A pretreatment of hydroxyapatite with chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronate and DNA lowered the adsorption of collagenase. Phosphate ion caused desorption of the enzyme from hydroxyapatite. Sodium fluoride caused partial desorption of the enzyme from hydroxyapatite and enamel and dentin powders. Collagenase adsorbed on root surfaces of teeth liberated hydroxyproline containing material.
