Context: Dentin biomodification has been emphasized as a means of improving the bond between composite resin and tooth surface, consequently enhancing its longevity.
Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of dentin after pretreatment with 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), 2% chitosan, nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP), proanthocyanidins (5% pine bark ((PB) and 5% bromelain).
Settings And Design: The study was designed as an investigation.

Context: Effective use of nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) to strengthen adhesive-dentin interfacial bonding while disinfecting with chlorhexidine (CHX).
Aim: NTAP application at different time intervals on the dentinal shear bond strength (SBS) after pretreatment with 2% CHX as a cavity disinfectant.
Settings And Design: The design of the study was an study.

Aim: Using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), the current study assessed the impact of nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on the dentinal tubule penetration of bioceramic and epoxy resin-based root canal sealers (CLSM).
Materials And Methods: Forty human mandibular premolar teeth with a single root that had just undergone extraction were chosen and biomechanical preparation of root canals was done with ProTaper Gold rotary Nickel-titanium instruments. Samples were divided into four groups ( = 10).
