Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an entity to describe the enamel defects of the first permanent molars with the involvement of one or more incisors due to an underlying systemic cause. It is a frequently encountered challenge by dentists in a dental clinic and dental complications affecting patient's quality of life. Early diagnosis is the key to protect and prevent the deterioration of the condition.

Materials And Methods: Class 1 preparations of 4 mm × 4 mm dimensions were made on 30 extracted human mandibular molars. They were randomly divided into three groups; among them, in Group 1 ( = 10), cavities were filled with SureFil SDR Bulk Fill, Group 2 ( = 10) cavities were filled with Filtek Bulk Fill of 4 mm increments in both groups, and in Group 3 ( = 10), cavities were filled with conventional composite Filtek Z350 with 2 mm increments.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 2% chlorhexidine disinfectant (CHX), chitosan, and octenidine dihydrochloride (as cavity disinfectants) on microleakage in cavities restored with universal self-etch adhesive.
Materials And Methods: Eighty extracted human permanent premolars were selected. Class V cavities were prepared on the facial surface of each tooth.
Aim And Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of diverse remineralizing agents on artificial enamel lesion using confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM).
Materials And Methods: Totally 80 mandibular premolars which were single rooted were included. All teeth were suspended in a demineralizing solution to create artificial enamel lesions on the exposed enamel.
