Nanoparticle Augmentation of Adhesive Systems: Impact on Tensile Strength in Fiberglass Post Placement within Root Dentin.

BACKGROUND Modification of the glass fiber post (GFP) with titanium dioxide or silver particles can improve the durability and reliability of dental treatments for ensuring long-term success. This research assessed the tensile bond strength (TBS) of an adhesive system used for cementing GFPs into root dentin following the incorporation of nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (NTiO2) and silver (NAg). MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty human maxillary canines were prepared to create a 10-mm intra-radicular space for post placement from the cementoenamel junction.

Biologic Therapies in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis: Overview of Systematic Reviews and Updated Systematic Review.

Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a highly prevalent and challenging disease to manage. Several systematic reviews (SRs) have been carried out to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biologic therapies. We aimed to evaluate the current and available evidence of the biologics in treating CRSwNP.

Efficacy and safety of paranasal sinus balloon catheter dilation in pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis: a systematic review.

Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) negatively affects quality of life (QoL), and balloon catheter sinuplasty (BCS) has shown good outcomes in adult patients. However, there has not been much research on the effects of BCS on pediatric patients. The objective of this review is to systematically assess the literature for studies demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of BCS in pediatric CRS patients.

Outcomes of microdebrider-assisted versus radiofrequency-assisted inferior turbinate reduction surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional randomised studies.

Background: The microdebrider technique was introduced in clinical practice to provide a better outcome in nasal obstruction caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy. We conducted this systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique, by comparison with the radiofrequency-assisted modality.

Methodology: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched to retrieve relevant randomised studies published prior to November 2019.

Nanobubble-Enhanced Antimicrobial Agents: A Promising Approach for Regenerative Endodontics.

Introduction: In this study, we investigated the properties of nanobubble (NB) water and its effect on smear layer removal and strengthening the efficiency of disinfecting agents used in regenerative endodontic treatment.

Methods: NB water was generated in a NB Generator. The NB size, concentration, and pH were measured.
