Objectives: This study aimed to establish a single-session associative protocol for non-restorative management of dentin hypersensitivity (DH).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four individuals with DH and a minimum sensitivity level of 4 on the visual analog scale (VAS) were selected. The study was conducted in a split-mouth design, with each participant ( = 20) having at least 1 affected tooth in all quadrants.
Aim And Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ozonated water used as an irrigant and dentin-cleaning solution on the bond strength of fiberglass pins , comparing it with the commonly used solutions.
Material And Methods: Seventy-seven bovine roots were randomly divided into seven groups according to the irrigant and dentin-cleaning solution to be used: HP/HP, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite; DA/DA, distilled water; CHX/CHX, 2% chlorhexidine; OA/OA, 4 ppm ozonated water; HP/DA; HP/CHX; and HP/OA.
In vitro and In vivo evaluation of resin composites fluorescence.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the fluorescence intensity of six different resin types, both in vitro (lab-based) and in vivo (in real teeth), to natural enamel under ultraviolet light.
- Seventy specimens were created for the in vitro part, while restorations were made on six anterior teeth for the in vivo part, with all evaluations done through standardized photography.
- Despite using various resin types, the results showed no significant differences in fluorescence intensity among them, indicating that all resins achieved a fluorescence level similar to that of natural dental enamel.
Aim: Periodontitis is often associated with diabetes mellitus and may be considered one of the chronic complications of this disease. Increasing evidence indicates that periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) has an adverse effect on glycemic control and participates in the pathophysiology of complications related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of obesity on clinical periodontal parameters of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with stage II or III periodontitis grade C after conventional periodontal treatment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDirect composite resin restorations have become a viable alternative for patients that require anterior restorative procedures to be integrated to the other teeth that compose the smile, especially for presenting satisfactory esthetic results and minimum wear of the dental structure. Technological evolution along with a better understanding of the behavior of dental tissues to light incidence has allowed the development of new composite resins with better mechanical and optical properties, making possible a more artistic approach for anterior restorations. The combination of the increasing demand of patients for esthetics and the capacity to preserve the dental structure resulted in the development of different incremental techniques for restoring fractured anterior teeth in a natural way.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the influence of deproteinization or dentin tubular occlusion, as well as the combination of both techniques, on microtensile bond strength (microTBS) and marginal microleakage of composite resin restorations.
