Clinical Performance of Zirconia Reinforced versus Conventional Viscous Glass Ionomer in Class I Cavities of Geriatric Patients: A 1-year Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: For the elderly population, efforts are made to simplify the restorative procedure while maintaining good clinical performance. Glass ionomer (GI) cements are showing signs to fulfill many of these qualities. With their new properties and ease of use, they can be developed further to become a useful group of materials to overcome the problems of elderly patients.

Evaluation of the remineralizing effect of biomimetic self-assembling peptides in post-orthodontic white spot lesions compared to fluoride-based delivery systems: randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical performance of self-assembling peptides versus fluoride-based delivery systems in post-orthodontic white spot lesions.

Materials And Methods: The participants were randomly assigned into two groups (n = 58) according to the remineralizing agent used, where (A) group represented participants receiving a varnish containing 22.600 fluoride ppm and tricalcium phosphate, while the second group (B) represented participants receiving self-assembling peptide.
