Background: Repairs in composite resin restorations are common procedures in clinical practice. Many surface treatment options have been proposed to improve the adhesion between the old and new composite. The objective of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of repairs performed on aged bulk fill and conventional composites after different adhesion protocols.

- The study investigated how 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) affects the bond strength of glass-fibre posts to root canals, focusing on different types of cements (dual-cured resin vs resin-modified glass-ionomer) and storage times.
- Results showed that the dual-cured resin cement (RelyX ARC) had significantly higher bond strength compared to resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RelyX Luting 2), and CHX negatively impacted bond strength after 6 months.
- The findings suggest that using chlorhexidine does not enhance bond strength and may harm the effectiveness of RelyX ARC over time.
Objective: To investigate prevalence of invasive candidiasis in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and to evaluate oral diseases and Candida spp. colonization in low birth weight preterm newborns.
Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study performed in two stages.
