Article Synopsis
- Pertussis, or whooping cough, is re-emerging globally even with high vaccination rates, prompting a comparison of the disease's impact in Spain and the Dominican Republic (DR), two Ibero-American countries with differing vaccination and surveillance approaches.
- A 10-year study revealed that the incidence of pertussis was significantly higher in children under 1 year in the DR (12.15 cases per 100,000) compared to Spain (3.40 cases per 100,000), indicating varying disease prevalence and health outcomes.
- Despite Spain having higher vaccination coverage (96.5%) than DR (82.2%), both countries face public health challenges regarding pertussis, highlighting the need for improved surveillance and prevention strategies,
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different light sources on the bond strength of indirect resin composite restorations cemented with a dual-cure resin cement. The superficial dentin of human third molars was exposed and acid-etched and an adhesive system was applied (Single Bond 2). Four-mm-thick indirect resin composite restorations (Gradia) were fabricated and cemented using a dual-cure resin cement (Rely X).
