This study investigated formation of protective deposits on the enamel surface after application of several anti-erosive toothpastes with different active ingredients. NaF-containing Sensodyne Pronamel, SnCl /F-based Elmex Erosion Protection and calcium phosphate-based BioRepair Plus Sensitivity Control, SensiShield and Enamel Care toothpastes with claimed anti-erosive properties were tested. Artificial saliva and Elmex Erosion Protection mouth rinse served as control groups.

- The study aimed to assess the reliability of different self-etching and etch-and-rinse dental adhesives using extracted human teeth.
- Results indicated that there was a significant difference in shear bond strength among the types of adhesives tested, but self-etching and etch-and-rinse adhesives performed similarly overall.
- Variability in adhesive reliability was linked to their chemical composition rather than the specific type of adhesive used.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a laser-activated bleaching agent using hydrogen peroxide on discolored teeth.
- Two laser systems (diode and infra-red) along with blue light emission diodes were tested, showing faster bleaching results compared to traditional methods.
- The results indicated a noticeable color change in just 5 minutes of treatment, and scanning electron microscopy revealed slight surface modifications, showcasing lasers as the most efficient option for in-office dental bleaching.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the ability of Er:YAG laser radiation. Using a movable waveguide helps to obtain an antibacterial effect, not only in root canal walls but also in the surrounding tissues.
Background Data: Conventional endodontic treatment is not fully effective due to microbial colonization of root canal walls dentin in premolars and molars.
