The emission of ultraweak light from cells is a phenomenon associated with the oxidation of biomolecules by reactive oxygen species. The indole moiety present in tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin is frequently associated with the emission of light during the oxidation of these metabolites. This study presents results for hypobromous acid (HOBr) oxidation of tryptophan as a putative endogenous source of ultraweak light emission. We found that chemiluminescence elicited by the oxidation of tryptophan by HOBr was significantly higher than by hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This difference was related to secondary oxidation reactions, which were more intense using HOBr. The products identified during oxidation by HOCl, but depleted by using HOBr, were N-formylkynurenine, kynurenine, 1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydro-3a-hydroxypyrrolo[2,3-b]-indole-2-carboxylic acid, oxindolylalanine and dioxindolylalanine. The emission of light is dependent on the free α-amino group of tryptophan, and hence, the indole of serotonin and melatonin, although efficiently oxidized, did not produce chemiluminescence. The emission of light was even greater using taurine monobromamine and dibromamine as the oxidant compared to HOBr. A mechanism based on bromine radical intermediates is suggested for the higher efficiency in light emission. Altogether, the experimental evidence described in the present study indicates that the oxidation of free tryptophan or tryptophan residues in proteins is an important source of ultraweak cellular emission of light. This light emission is increased in the presence of taurine, an amino acid present in large amounts in leukocytes, where this putative source of ultraweak light emission is even more relevant.

The aim of this study is to describe, illustrate and discuss a simple, effective and rational method for preparing anterior all-ceramic restorations. This procedure uses a reduced number of diamond burs and a few clinical steps. The biological, mechanical, functional and aesthetic principles are obtained in a reasonable manner, regarding the requirements’ supported by the contemporary aesthetic dentistry. At the end of reading, it is expected that the professionals understand the design of the axial and cervical dental walls. Finally, the dental preparations will be made in a rapid and efficient manner. Despite the citation of specific diamond burs, it is expected that the reader use them as a reference. The understanding of their geometric configuration and volume are more important than their manufacturer’s reference number. Other manufacturers have diamond burs with the same geometric configuration of those recommended in this technique. Thus, the clinical professional must select the diamond points according to their manufacturer of choice.
