Gender variability in palpation performance for temporomandibular disorders with three different methods: An experimental study.

Gender differences in pain reporting and prevalence have been demonstrated. As gender of examiner also affects reporting of pain on palpation, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of examiner gender on palpation performance using three different palpation methods. Examiners of both genders were instructed on the correct technique for each palpation method by either a female or male instructor.

Finite element models: A road to in-silico modeling in the age of personalized dentistry.

Objective: This article reviews the applications of Finite Element Models (FEMs) in personalized dentistry, focusing on treatment planning, material selection, and CAD-CAM processes. It also discusses the challenges and future directions of using finite element analysis (FEA) in dental care.

Data: This study synthesizes current literature and case studies on FEMs in personalized dentistry, analyzing research articles, clinical reports, and technical papers on the application of FEA in dental biomechanics.

Effect of Different Protective Bases on pH Changes and Hydrogen Peroxide Microleakage During Intracoronal Bleaching.

This study aimed to evaluate the pH changes and penetration of hydrogen peroxide into radicular dentin when different protective bases were used with and without a bonding agent. In this in-vitro experimental study, 70 single-rooted bovine teeth were instrumented and obturated with gutta-percha. The gutta-percha was removed 3mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the teeth were divided into seven groups (n=10).

The effect of intraorifice barriers (TheraCal LC, Lime-Lite and Ionoseal) on the fracture resistance and failure patterns of endodontically treated teeth submitted to intracoronal bleaching.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the root reinforcement potential of different light cured intraorifice barriers (TheraCal, lime-lite, Ionoseal and resin-modified glass-ionomer [RMGI] [Fuji II LC]) with or without bonding agent placed in the orifice of endodontically treated and bleached teeth.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, single-rooted bovine teeth were instrumented and obturated with gutta-percha. Except the control group, in other specimens, gutta-percha was removed 3 mm under cementoenamel junction.

The MIL100(Fe)/BaTiZrO nanocomposite with the photocatalytic capability for study of tetracycline photodegradation kinetics.

The visible light-active nanocomposite with the photocatalytic capability was facile one-pot solvothermal method successfully synthesized. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetry and Derivative Thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (SEM-EDX), Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) analysis were employed to characterize the synthetized BaTiZrO3, MIL-100(Fe), and the MIL-100(Fe)/BaTiZrO samples. As a result of the Scherrer equations, the size of grains for MIL-100(Fe), BaTiZrO, and MIL-100(Fe)/BaTiZrO was estimated to be 40.
