Pulpal repair after direct pulp capping with new bioceramic materials: A comparative histological study.

Aim: To histopathologically evaluate the pulpal healing after direct pulp capping with TotalFill and compared it with Neo MTA Plus in human tooth cultures.

Methods: Forty sound human premolars freshly extracted for orthodontic reasons were randomly assigned to two experimental groups; group I: TotalFill and group II: Neo MTA Plus. Standardized Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of each tooth where the pulp exposure was performed with a dental explorer.

The reparative capacity of different bioactive dental materials for direct pulp capping.

Background: Maintaining pulp vitality is a major objective in restorative dentistry. Direct pulp capping (DPC) is considered a way to enhance pulp healing and induce reparative dentin. In the present study, 3 capping materials were used and compared in terms of promoting pulp tissue healing after mechanical exposure.

Nanoleakage Evaluation of Posterior Teeth Restored with Low Shrinkable Resin Composite- An invitro Study.

Introduction: The effect of nanoleakage on the integrity of resin-dentin bond has been in interest for long-term adhesion.

Aim: This study evaluated the nanoleakage in premolar teeth restored with low shrinkable resin composite.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 human premolars were used for nanoleakage evaluation in this study.

Evaluation of cuspal deflection in premolar teeth restored with low shrinkable resin composite (in vitro study).

Objectives: This study evaluated cuspal deflection in premolar teeth restored with low shrinkable resin composite.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 human premolars were used for cuspal deflection evaluation in this study. Each group was divided into four equal groups according to the type of resin composite and the adhesive used as follows: group A: Using low shrinkable resin composite (silorane) with its adhesive system; group B: Using low shrinkable composite (silorane) with G-bond; group C: Using Filtek Z350 composite with G-bond; and group D: Using Filtek Z350 composite with AdheSE.

The effect of three polishing systems on surface roughness of flowable, microhybrid, and packable resin composites.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different polishing systems on the surface roughness of three types of resin composite materials.

Materials And Methods: Three types of resin composites (Heliomolar flow, TPH spectrum, and Tetric Ceram HB) and three polishing systems (Astropol, Enhance, and Soflex) were used. A total number of 40 samples were prepared from each one of the restorative materials and divided randomly into four groups (n = 10) according to the polishing procedure.
