Resin-modified glass ionomer enriched with BIOGLASS: Ion-release, bioactivity and antibacterial effect.

Developing dental materials for the prevention of remineralization or demineralization is important for high-risk caries patients. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological effects of adding 45S5 bioglass to resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC). Samples belonged to the following groups: GIC: conventional glass ionomer cement (Vitro Fil), RMGIC: resin-modified GIC (Vitro Fil LC), and RMGIC/45S5: RMGIC with 10% (wt %) of 45S5.

In vitro and in vivo performance of self-conditioning sealants with pre-reacted glass for caries prevention.

Bioactive materials capable of preventing the development of caries lesions can be an important preventive strategy. This study aims to evaluate in vitro the alkalizing potential, fluoride release, shear bond strength (SBS), and Knoop microhardness (HK) of self-conditioning sealants with pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) and in vivo their retention, quality and caries prevention using the randomized clinical trial (RCT). Dental sealants FS-conventional (Fluoroshield-Dentsply) and BS self-etching (BeautiSealant-Shofu) were evaluated.

Bioactive self-etching sealant on newly erupted molars: A split-mouth clinical trial.

Objectives: This randomized clinical trial compares retention, survival rate, and evolution of caries of newly erupted permanent molars sealed with bioactive self-etching sealants with pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG).

Methods: A split-mouth clinical trial was conducted with 56 permanent second molars in stages 2 and 3 of crown eruption; ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) was between 0 and 2. The molars were randomized and blinded in relation to the side (right or left) that would receive the sealants; the conventional resin sealant (FS), Fluroshield (Dentsply), or bioactive self-etch sealant (BS), BeautiSealant with S-PRG (Shofu).

Effect of bioactive glasses and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser on dentin permeability.

Context: Dental hypersensitivity and loss of dental tissues are commonly observed in patients, and most of the problems are caused due to total or partial exposure of dentinal tubules.

Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of 45S5 bioactive glass and niobophosphate (NbG) associated with neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for the reduction of dentin permeability.

Materials And Methods: Fifty bovine dentin discs were made and distributed randomly into five groups ( = 10).

Most common oral manifestations in pediatric patients HIV positive and the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy.

This integrative literature review aims to identify the main oral lesions affecting pediatric patients with HIV, and describe the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on these injuries, comparing it to antiretroviral therapy (ART). A search was conducted in PubMed and Scielo databases, following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. 19 papers were selected and the main information on the prevalence and frequency of oral manifestations in HIV-positive pediatric patients and effect of therapy applied were extracted.
