Microleakage in Class V composite and compomer restorations following exposure to a colutory prescribed for the treatment of xerostomy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a colutory (XeroLacer, Lacer), prescribed for the treatment of xerostomy, on microleakage into class V cavities filled with a composite (Z100, 3M ESPE) or a compomer (F2000, 3M ESPE) in combination with either a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive (Adper Scotchbond 1XT, 3M ESPE) or a self-etching adhesive (Adper Prompt L-Pop, 3M ESPE). Class V cavities were made in the buccal surfaces of 80 bovine lower incisors which were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20): (1) Adper Scotchbond 1XT/Z100; (2) Adper Scotchbond 1XT/F2000; (3) Adper Prompt L-Pop/Z100; and (4) Adper PLP/F2000. All specimens were immersed in distilled water for 3 months and ten specimens of each group were immersed and vibrated in XeroLacer for 2 min three times a day.

Melatonin plus porcine bone on discrete calcium deposit implant surface stimulates osteointegration in dental implants.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the topical application of melatonin mixed with collagenized porcine bone to accelerate the osteointegration on the rough discrete calcium deposit (DCD) surface implants in Beagle dogs 3 months after their insertion. In preparation for subsequent insertion of dental implants, lower premolars and molars were extracted from 12 Beagle dogs. Each mandible received three parallel wall implants with discrete calcium deposit (DCD) surface of 4 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length.
