Context: Relation between the adequate intensity output of curing lights on color stability of composite resin is well accepted.

Aims: To investigate the effect of different light-curing intensities and its relation to color stability of different polymerized composite resin materials using the spectophotometric analysis.

Settings And Design: Comparative study done on composite resin discs.

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of pressure variations to which divers are subjected on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to teeth with resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) or composite resin.

Methods: Eighty extracted premolars were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: orthodontic brackets were bonded with RMGIC.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate quality, reliability, and comprehensiveness of YouTube videos about oral self-examination to detect oral cancer and precancerous lesions and to assess whether the source, duration, quality, reliability, and/or comprehensiveness of videos influence their visibility and popularity.

Materials And Methods: Videos on YouTube were searched using eight keywords similar to oral self-examination. The first 100 videos for each search term were included.

Article Synopsis
  • Composite resins, popular in dentistry for their strength and aesthetics, were studied to see how common beverages affect their microhardness and color stability.
  • A total of 240 samples, divided into microhybrid and nanofilled groups, were tested after soaking in distilled water, tea, cola, and coffee for 15 days.
  • Results showed that both types of resins experienced a decrease in microhardness and color changes, with cola causing the most significant microhardness reduction and coffee the most noticeable color change.
