Flat occlusal deep dentin surfaces were produced and randomly assigned to two groups (sound or artificial caries-affected dentin). The specimens in each group were assigned to one of seven subgroups according to the materials used: Biodentine, Theracal LC, Ultra-Blend plus, Calcimol LC, ApaCal ART, EQUIA Forte, and Ionoseal.

Material And Methods: A total of 3580 images obtained from 179 individuals were used for training and validation. After random rotation and vertical flip, training data was augmented by factor of 10 in each iteration.
Objective: The relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is still under debate because of the lack of well-designed objective studies. The current study investigates possible effects of SSRIs, fluoxetine, and paroxetine on SB in patients with anxiety and depression.
Materials And Methods: Thirty users of SSRIs for treatment of depression or anxiety were enrolled in the study.
Objective: The aim of this study was two-fold: (1) To assess the incidence of dental pulp stone formation during orthodontic treatment, and (2) to determine the correlations between the presence of dental pulp stones and age, gender, and dental arches.
Materials And Methods: A sample of 545 patients (334 girls and 211 boys, age range; 12-22 years) who had undergone nonextraction orthodontic treatment were included in this study. 8442 teeth (T1) and 8410 teeth (T2), including the first and second maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars were evaluated from the pre- (T1) and post-treatment (T2) panoramic radiographs of the patients.
