Article Synopsis
- Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common issue for patients getting crown and bridge restorations, and desensitizing laser treatment has proven effective in addressing this problem.
- A study involved 48 maxillary first premolars, comparing untreated control specimens to those treated with a specific laser, examining the bond strength of two types of luting cements.
- Results indicated that self-adhesive resin cements had a slight increase in bond strength when used on laser-treated teeth, suggesting they are preferable for these cases, even though the increase was not statistically significant.
Single rooted tooth are considered to be the easiest for root canal treatment. The literature has documented cases with single rooted tooth showing more than single canal. Understanding of root canal morphology thus is an important aspect to be considered for successful endodontic treatment.

However, their clinically handling properties are less than ideal, deterring many practitioners. Reliance orthodontic products (Itacsa, I11) recently released an enamel sealant named Pro Seal to be used with bonding agents.

Materials And Methods: Twenty young adult patients (age 13-17 years, overjet 6-10 mm) with a Class II division 1 malocclusion were randomly divided into two groups: group I included 10 patients treated with TB, Group II included 10 patients treated with FRD. Dentoskeletal changes were analyzed on lateral cephalograms taken before (T1) and (T2) at the end of the treatment.
