Comparative evaluation of microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using flowable or preheated packable bulk-fill composite resin as gingival increment by dye extraction method: An study.

Context: One of the undesirable characteristics of dental composite resin is the polymerization shrinkage and the associated microleakage. The snowplow technique of placement and the preheating of the composite resins are methods to minimize microleakage.

Aim: The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using either preheated packable or flowable bulk-fill composite resin.

Enamel hypoplasia with nonsyndromic oligodontia: A rare case report.

Enamel hypoplasia is an exclusive ectodermal disturbance, related to alterations in the organic enamel matrix which can cause white flecks, narrow horizontal bands, lines of pits, grooves, and discoloration of the teeth. It can result in compromised oral health that causes physiological and psychological disturbances. Management of enamel hypoplasia not only includes esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the patient but also requires a positive rapport building with the patient due to psychosocial issues.

evaluation of the effect of addition of biomaterials to carbamide peroxide on the bleaching efficacy and microhardness of enamel.

Background And Aim: Teeth bleaching, although considered safe and conservative, cause microscopic changes in the tooth structure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bleaching efficacy of carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching gel when modified with the incorporation of bioactive glass (BG) and hydroxyapatite (HA) and its effect on enamel microhardness.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five maxillary incisors were decoronated, artificially stained and mounted in acrylic.

Effect of resveratrol pretreatment of radicular dentin on immediate and delayed pushout bond strength of fiber post luted using self-adhesive resin cement: An study.

Aim: To assess and compare the effect of resveratrol pretreatment of root dentin on immediate and delayed pushout bond strength (POBS) of fiber postluted using self-adhesive resin cement.

Methodology: Postspace was prepared in endodontically treated roots and randomly divided into two groups based on pretreatment rinse before fiber postcementation: Group 1: Distilled water Group 2: 1 mL of 10 mg/mL resveratrol solution for 1 min. Fiber posts were luted using self-adhesive resin cement.
