Aim And Objective: This study was intended to compare and determine the potency of strontium-doped nano-hydroxyapatite paste against a topical cream containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and a regular dentifrice for remineralization of white spot lesions of enamel following orthodontic debonding.
Methods: Ninety individuals with white spot lesions on their enamel who visited the orthodontic department for de-bonding were selected for the research. Patients were randomly assigned to three distinct groups with each group consisting of 30 patients.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strengths of zirconia to dentin using two resin-based luting cements and a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC).
Materials And Methods: Thirty six zirconia blocks of 2 mm × 3 mm × 5 mm were milled and luted to the exposed dentin surfaces and grouped into three according to the cement used for luting: Group I - luted with Panavia F2.0, Group II - luted with RelyX U200, and Group III - luted with FujiCEM.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the incidence of dentinal defects after root canal shaping using rotary nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments (ProTaper Gold [PTG] and ProTaper Next [PTN]) and reciprocating instrument (WaveOne Gold [WOG]).
Materials And Methods: One hundred human mandibular premolars with single root and single canal with canal curvature <10° were randomly divided into five groups ( = 20 teeth per group). The root canals were instrumented using hand K-files (positive control), full sequence rotary files PTG and PTN, and reciprocating single-file system WOG.
