Tensile strength of conventional glass ionomer cement and silver reinforced glass ionomer cement.

A comparative analysis and assessment of the compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) between conventional glass ionomer cement (C-GIC) and a silver-reinforced GIC (S-GIC) variant is of interest. Ten specimens of both C-GIC (GC Fuji II, Japan) and S-GIC (Riva Silver, SDI, Australia) were fabricated for the evaluation of compressive strength, and an identical number of samples were created for the examination of tensile strength. These specimens were then tested using a universal testing apparatus.

Data on steam inhalation in combating CoVid-19.

Steam inhalations are often used to control viral infections of the respiratory tract such as common cold. The use of steam inhalation in combating SAR-CoV-2 infection has been also tried. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the various data available on the effect of steam inhalation on COVID-19 infection in a systematic manner.

Effectiveness of mouthwash against viruses: 2020 perspective. A systematic review.

Introduction: Antiseptic mouthwash is widely recommended to treat various oral diseases as well as to improve oral health. Most of the dental procedures lead to the generation of aerosols. These aerosols have a high potential to transmit disease.
