Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy

6.6K
To be visualized by an electron microscope, either transmission or scanning, biological samples need to be fixed (stabilized) so the electron beam does not destroy them and dried thoroughly (desiccated/dehydrated) so the vacuum does not affect them. Fixation needs to be done as quickly as possible because the sample properties will start changing as soon as it is removed from its natural environment. For example, in a tissue sample, the oxygen levels begin decreasing, causing an altered...

Immunogold Electron Microscopy01:20

Immunogold Electron Microscopy

5.1K
Immunoelectron microscopy utilizes immunogold labeling of endogenous proteins with specific antibodies to detect and localize these proteins in cells and tissues. The procedure provides insights into the distribution and quantification of protein under different stimulation conditions offering clues about their functions. Conjugating highly electron-dense gold particles with primary or secondary antibodies allow antigen detection on and within cells, with high resolution and specificity.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection

9.5K
Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease.
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

    Summary

    Implantoplasty effectively removed biologic debris and bacterial biofilm from failed peri-implantitis implants. Other methods like chemical agents, airborne-particle abrasion, laser, and titanium brush were less successful in debris removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Implantology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Peri-implantitis is a significant complication following dental implant placement.
    • Effective management of peri-implantitis is crucial for long-term implant survival.
    • Surface decontamination of retrieved implants is a key step in treatment protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of various surface decontamination methods for retrieved peri-implantitis implants.
    • To compare the removal of biologic debris and bacterial biofilm by different treatment modalities.
    • To identify the most effective method for surface cleaning in ex vivo peri-implantitis cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Seven retrieved rough-surfaced implants with peri-implantitis were treated with distinct methods.
    • Treatments included chemical agents (saline, chlorhexidine, citric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide), implantoplasty, airborne-particle abrasion, laser, and titanium brush.
    • Implant surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

    Main Results:

    • Chemical agents were ineffective in removing biologic debris.
    • Airborne-particle abrasion, laser, and titanium brush partially removed biologic debris.
    • Implantoplasty demonstrated complete removal of biologic debris and significant disturbance/removal of bacterial biofilm.
    • SEM analysis confirmed the varying efficacy of each treatment method.

    Conclusions:

    • Implantoplasty is a highly effective method for decontaminating rough implant surfaces affected by peri-implantitis.
    • Mechanical debridement methods, particularly implantoplasty, show superior results compared to chemical agents.
    • Further research may explore optimizing implantoplasty techniques for enhanced peri-implantitis management.
