Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare fluoride ion release by Cention-N (self-cure and light-cure) and conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC) at different pH levels and time intervals.
Methodology: For fluoride release assessment, 240 samples (10 mm diameter, 2 mm height) of Cention-N and conventional glass-ionomer cement were created using rubber rings. Samples were stored in deionized water, and the cumulative fluoride ion release and change in pH were assessed using a spectrophotometer and pH meter, respectively, at the end of 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days.
Article Synopsis
- This study tested the cyclic fatigue resistance of various glide path files (WaveOne Gold Glider, ProGlider, Nickel-Titanium K files, Stainless Steel K files, and Flexo K files) used with a reciprocating handpiece in simulated curved canals.
- Results showed Flexo files had the highest resistance to cyclic fatigue, followed by WaveOne Gold Glider and NiTi K files, while ProGlider had the lowest.
- The findings suggest that Flexo files are ideal for glide path formation and that NiTi and S.S. K files offer a cost-effective alternative for those in resource-limited settings.
Aim: Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects an estimated 100 million Indians, ranking second globally in diabetic prevalence. Despite this, the correlation between DM and specific pulpal diagnoses remains underexplored. This study compares pulpal conditions in DM patients and nondiabetic controls.

Materials And Methodology: A sample size of 537 CBCT images collected from various diagnostic centers in Gujarat was analyzed. The root canal morphology was then classified by using two methods - Ahmed et al.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare three different pit and fissure sealants with different composition to check their effectiveness for sealing ability and microleakage.
Materials & Methods: Total 120 therapeutically extracted premolars devoid of any caries, anomalies or morphogenic diversity were collected and distributed equally in three groups (40 in each). Group - I: Composite based Pit and fissure sealant, Group -II: Compomer- restorative material and GROUP-III: Glass ionomer cement based pit and fissure sealant.
