Introduction: It is still unclear whether the pretreatment for dentin hypersensitivity can interfere with the adhesive-dentin bonding strength. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with a casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste and diode laser on the shear bond strength of the etch-and-rinse adhesive system in the adhesive-dentin interface.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five bovine root specimens were randomly divided into five experimental groups ( = 15).

Focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (FLS), an important diagnostic criterion for Sjögren's syndrome (SS) diagnosis, can also be observed when assessing minor salivary gland (mSG) biopsies from healthy asymptomatic individuals (non-SS patients). Fifty cases of primary SS (pSS group) and 31 cases of oral reactive lesions (non-SS non-sicca group) containing also typical FLS features, were assessed by morphological and immunohistochemical (CD10, CD23 and Bcl-6) analysis, aiming at the detection of GCs. All pSS cases showed FLS with focus score (FS) ≥ 1.
