Objectives: Sensi-IP®OG (SIP-OG) and Sensi-IP®FF (SIP-FF) are soluble bioactive glasses developed to treat dentin hypersensitivity and promote remineralization. Evaluation of their therapeutic potential to reduce dentin hypersensitivity and recover enamel strength was evaluated using standardized in vitro assessments based on simulated use.
Methods: To assess dentin occlusion a visual occlusion methodology was employed.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cigarette smoke, smokeless tobacco (e.g. snus), tobacco heating products (THP), electronic cigarettes (EC), and modern oral nicotine products on tooth staining.

- Tobacco smoke can make walls and furniture look dirty over time because it stains things.
- E-cigarettes and heated tobacco products create less harmful smoke compared to regular cigarettes, but how much they stain surfaces isn't completely known yet.
- This study found that regular cigarettes caused a lot more staining on wallpaper and fabric compared to e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, which barely changed the color at all.
Purpose: To evaluate in vitro enamel sample discoloration following exposure to a scientific reference cigarette (3R4F) or emissions from next generation tobacco and nicotine products (NGPs) such as electronic cigarettes (EC) and tobacco heating products (THP).
Methods: Bovine enamel blocks (6.5 × 6.
