Article Synopsis
  • Glucose sensing is essential for managing diabetes, and this study explores NbCT-selenium nanoparticles for effective nonenzymatic glucose detection.
  • The composite material was characterized using techniques like scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and it was tested on a gold disc electrode in an alkaline solution.
  • The sensor operates at a low overpotential of 0.16 V, demonstrating a detection range of 2 to 30 mM, with a notable sensitivity of 4.15 µA mM cm and a detection limit of 1.1 mM.

Introduction: To evaluate the enamel abrasion effects of soft, ultra-soft, and nano-bristle toothbrushes using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to guide toothbrush selection for optimal enamel preservation.

Methods: This in vitro study involved 45 extracted human teeth (central and lateral incisors), randomly assigned to three groups (n=15 each): Group I (nano-bristle), Group II (ultra-soft bristle), and Group III (soft bristle). Each specimen underwent 10,000 brushing cycles with a standardized 2 N force to simulate one year of brushing.
