Background: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the effects of different cavity conditioners on internal adaptation (IA) of glass ionomer-based restorative materials applied to primary teeth.

Methods: 80 extracted primary second molar teeth were randomly assigned to four different cavity conditioner groups [10% polyacrylic acid, 20% polyacrylic acid, 17% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), 35% phosphoric acid]. Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces and relevant cavity conditioners were applied, and the samples in each cavity conditioner group were randomly assigned to glass hybrid (GHR) or conventional glass ionomer restoratives (CGIR).

Article Synopsis
  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) significantly contributes to mortality in chronic lung diseases, particularly in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) who may not always require conventional treatment.
  • A systematic review of six databases revealed that pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) benefits CTD-ILD patients in areas like lung function, quality of life, and fatigue, but evidence for improvements in muscle strength is limited.
  • There is a need for more extensive research to fully understand the impact of PR on clinical outcomes for patients with CTD-ILD.
