Can carbamide peroxide be as effective as hydrogen peroxide for in-office tooth bleaching and cause less sensitivity? A systematic review.

This study aimed to answer the question through a systematic review: Can carbamide peroxide be as effective as hydrogen peroxide and cause less in-office bleaching sensitivity? A literature survey was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and gray literature. Primary clinical trials that compared the efficacy or the in-office bleaching sensitivity between carbamide and hydrogen peroxides were included. The risk of bias was evaluated using the RoB2.

Can sterilization methods influence surface properties of resin composites? A purpose for previewing bias in laboratory bacterial adhesion tests.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of sterilization methods on conventional and bulk-fill resin composites' (BFRCs) surface properties in an attempt to preview bias in laboratory bacterial adhesion tests. Two regular viscosity conventional resin composites [Filtek Z350 XT™ (Z350) and IPS Empress Direct™ (ED)] and two regular viscosity BFRCs [Filtek Bulk Fill™ (FILT) and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill IVA™ (TBF)] were used. The materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), surface roughness (SR), and wettability (W) after sterilization with hydrogen peroxide gas plasma (HPGP) and steam sterilization (SS).

The combined use of systemic analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs and a bioactive topical desensitizer for reduced in-office bleaching sensitivity without jeopardizing the hydrogen peroxide efficacy: a randomized, triple blinded, split-mouth clinical trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of combined systemic administration of paracetamol 500 mg/codeine phosphate 30 mg (PACO) and postoperative topical application of a bioactive desensitizer on in-office bleaching sensitivity and tooth color change.

Materials And Methods: A randomized, triple-blind, split-mouth clinical trial was conducted. Forty volunteers ingested PACO (n = 20) or placebo (PLA) (n = 20).

Accuracy of CAD-CAM systems for removable partial denture framework fabrication: A systematic review.

Statement Of Problem: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are traditionally made by casting, a complex, error-prone, and time-consuming process. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) RPD systems may simplify the clinical steps and minimize errors; however, the accuracy of CAD-CAM RPD systems is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine whether CAD-CAM systems are accurate for the manufacturing of RPD frameworks.
