Objective: This scoping review (SR) aimed to investigate the impact of quercetin on mineralized dental tissues intended to be used in preventive and restorative dentistry.
Methods: This SR was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR statement. A comprehensive search was performed across databases for articles published up to March 2024.
Objectives: To evaluate in vitro the effects of nano-sized sodium trimetaphosphate (TMPnano) and sodium fluoride (F) added to a 17.5 % hydrogen peroxide (HO) bleaching gel on the color change, enamel mechanical and morphological properties, and HO transamelodentinal diffusion.
Materials And Methods: Bovine enamel/dentin discs (n = 180) were divided according to the bleaching gel: 17.
Exploring the potential of rapid maxillary expansion and masticatory muscle activity in unilateral posterior crossbite.
J Clin Exp Dent
June 2024
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate if rapid maxillary expansion improves the activity of the masticatory muscles (masseter and temporal) in patients with unilateral posterior crossbite.
Material And Methods: Searches were performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and grey literature. A manual search of orthodontic journals was also performed.
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the nonsurgical treatment of periodontitis in patients with HIV infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) for patients with HIV and periodontitis.
- The analysis included four studies, which showed a significant reduction in microbial load and improved clinical parameters, such as probing depth and clinical attachment loss, in the aPDT-treated group compared to NSPT alone.
- The studies had a low risk of bias, and the overall certainty of evidence was rated as moderate, suggesting that aPDT is a promising therapy for this patient population.
Although the association of polyols/polyphosphates/fluoride has been demonstrated to promote remarkable effects on dental enamel, little is known on their combined effects on biofilms. This study assessed the effects of solutions containing fluoride/sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP)/xylitol/erythritol on dual-species biofilms of and . Biofilms were grown in the continuous presence of these actives alone or in different associations.

Suspensions of the micro-organisms were added to a BHI Agar medium.
