Article Synopsis
- Tooth loss causes various oral issues, and while many treatments exist, none can replace a missing tooth with a completely new natural one.
- Research in tissue engineering has focused on developing methods to regenerate whole teeth, utilizing animal models to study this process.
- Results indicate that over 58% of the test animals experienced successful tooth eruption after implanting engineered tooth germs, suggesting that whole tooth regeneration is feasible; however, significant challenges remain before this can be tested in humans.
The protozoan is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease that affects around 8 million people worldwide. Chagas disease can be divided into two stages: an acute stage with high parasitemia followed by a low parasitemia chronic stage. Recently, the importance of dormancy concerning drug resistance in amastigotes has been shown.

Materials And Methods: Five self-adhesive [RelyX-Unicem (UN), RelyX-U100 (UC), GCem (GC), Maxcem (MC), Set (SET)] and 2 conventional resin cements [RelyX-ARC(RX), Panavia F(PF)] were used. An additional group included the use of a two-step self-etching adhesive (SE Bond) with Panavia F (PS).
