Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how adding antimicrobial agents DMAHDM and/or MPC to PMMA dental resins impacts their mechanical properties, like flexural strength and surface hardness.
- - Results showed that adding these agents generally decreased flexural strength and surface hardness in heat-polymerized materials, while slightly improving flexural strength in 3D-printed materials but still reducing surface hardness.
- - The researchers concluded that careful optimization of these agents' concentrations is essential to preserve the mechanical integrity of the materials.
Objective: Conservative approaches to esthetically treat stained arrested caries lesions (s-ACLs) have not been explored in clinical studies. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of in-office dental bleaching agent, as a conservative approach, to esthetically treat s-ACLs.
Materials And Methods: Twelve patients ( = 46) presented with s-ACLs were treated with 40% hydrogen peroxide (in-office bleaching protocol; 20 minutes × 3).
