The role of aging and various surface preparation methods in the repair of nanohybrid composites.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Restorative Dentistry, Gazi University, Bişkek St. 1. St. Number: 8 Emek, Ankara, Turkey.

Background: Repairing composite resins is a less invasive alternative to complete restoration replacement. To achieve a successful bond between the existing and newly applied composite materials, various surface preparation methods, such as sandblasting and acid etching, have been explored. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the repair bond strength of a universal nanohybrid composite resin restorative material before and after thermal aging, by utilizing a micro-shear bond strength (µSBS) test.

Objective: This study aims to quantitatively compare the effects of standard needle irrigation (SNI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EDDY, photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), and shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) on the apical extrusion of irrigation solutions in teeth with severe canal curvature.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five teeth with a single root and canal, and curvature angles ranging from 20° to 40°, were selected for this study. Root canal curvatures were measured from buccolingual and mesiodistal radiographs using ImageJ software (version 1.

Reducing Healing Period with DDM/rhBMP-2 Grafting for Early Loading in Dental Implant Surgery.

Tissue Eng Regen Med

January 2025

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Section of Dentistry, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, 172 Dolma-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, 13620, Republic of Korea.

Background: Traditionally, dental implants require a healing period of 4 to 9 months for osseointegration, with longer recovery times considered when bone grafting is needed. This retrospective study evaluates the clinical efficacy of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) during dental implant placement to expedite the osseointegration period for early loading.

Methods: Thirty patients (17 male, 13 female; mean age 55.
