Caries effected dentin disinfection using Ozone, methylthioninium chloride and turmeric activated by photodynamic therapy on bond integrity of resin-modified glass ionomer cement.

Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of caries effected dentin (CAD) bonded to resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) after being disinfected with different methods their effect on microleakage scores.

Material And Methods: Based on criteria of ICDAS seventy-five teeth were selected and disinfected. All samples were grounded and a cavity prepared followed by random allocation of samples into different disinfection groups i.

Survival of adjacent-dental-implants in prediabetic and systemically healthy subjects at 5-years follow-up.

Background: Long-term survival of adjacent dental implants (ADI) in prediabetic patients remained uninvestigated.

Purpose: This 5 years' follow-up clinical study compared the survival of adjacent implants in prediabetic and nondiabetic subjects.

Materials And Methods: Prediabetic (group-A) and nondiabetic (group-B) subjects having undergone dental rehabilitation using ADI were assessed.

Effect of Er,Cr:YSGG on bond strength and microleakage of dentin bonded to resin composite with different distance and irradiation time.

Background: To explore the surface modification of dentin using Er,Cr:YSGG phototherapy and bonding system on the shear bond strength and microleakage scores at two different distances and times of laser irradiation.

Materials And Methods: Ninety disease-free third molars were collected for the experiment. The four laser groups were divided on the basis of non-contact mode distance and time of irradiation: Group-I: Distance of 1 mm with duration of 60 s; Group-II: Distance of 1 mm with duration of 120 s; Group-III: Distance of 2 mm with duration of 60 s and; Group-IV: Distance of 2 mm with duration of 120 s.

Does bond integrity of bleached enamel increases with phototherapy? A systematic review.

Background: The aim of the current systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of phototherapy (PT) on bond strength of bleached enamel.

Methods: Electronic databases including MEDLINE (PubMed), ISI Web of Science, Scopus, ScIELO, LILACS and EMBASE until January 2019. The addressed focused question was: "Does PT increase the bond integrity of bleached enamel?" Only in-vitro studies evaluating the effect of PT compared with bleaching agent or no phototherapy were included.

Comparison of clinical peri-implant indices and crestal bone levels around narrow and regular diameter implants placed in diabetic and non-diabetic patients: A 3-year follow-up study.

Background: Studies evaluating and comparing clinical and radiographic peri-implant indices around narrow diameter implants (NDIs; <3.3 mm) and regular diameter implants (RDIs) in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-diabetic individuals are deficient.

Objective: To estimate and compare the clinical and radiographic indices around NDIs and RDIs placed in T2DM and non-diabetic patients.

Clinical and radiographic peri-implant variables around short dental implants in type 2 diabetic, prediabetic, and non-diabetic patients.

Background: Clinical and radiographic status around short dental implants in patients with different glycemic levels remains unexplored.

Purpose: To determine the clinical and radiographic bone level (RBL) around short dental implants in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), prediabetic, and non-diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: Participants were grouped into three groups based on HbA1c levels: T2DM (Group-1); prediabetic patients (Group-2); and non-diabetic subjects (Group-3).
