Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate the cytotoxicity of different adhesive systems on human dental pulp cells, focusing on their adhesion, surface smoothness, and potential toxicity.
  • Using a specific cell line, researchers applied various adhesive systems and MTA, assessing cell viability through trypan blue staining over three days.
  • Results indicated a significant difference in cell viability on the first day, but similar biocompatibility between Futurabond M and MTA was observed, suggesting Futurabond M’s suitability for use in dental cavities with minimal hard tissue remaining.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the different pathways between predictor factors such as zygosity, atypical swallowing, mouth breathing, breastfeeding and bottle feeding related to anterior open bite (AOB) in twins.

Methods: The study was conducted in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin children aged 3-15 years. AOB, atypical swallowing, mouth breathing, feeding type, duration of bottle use, and mouth opening status during sleep were recorded during oral examination.

mutations cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), known as AI types IE, IIB, and IIC in Witkop's classification, characterized by hypoplastic (reduced thickness) and/or hypomaturation (reduced hardness) enamel defects. In this study, we conducted whole exome analyses to unravel the disease-causing mutations for six AI families. Splicing assays, immunoblotting, and quantitative RT-PCR were conducted to investigate the molecular and cellular effects of the mutations.

Background: The black staining effect of silver-containing solutions for use to arrest caries can have a negative aesthetic impact on children and parents. This study aims to assess the staining effects of Silver Diamine Fluoride/Potassium Iodide (SDF/KI), SDF and Nanosilver Fluoride (NSF).

Materials And Methods: Forty-four extracted carious primary molars were collected and randomly divided into four groups (n = 11).

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate antibacterial effects of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), SDF/potassium iodide (KI), and nanosilver fluoride (NSF).

Methods: Antimicrobial activity of sterile saline, 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), SDF, SDF/KI, NSF, and KI solutions against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei was assessed through disc diffusion tests. A dual-species biofilm of S.
