In this study, mesiodistocclusal (MOD) cavity preparations of endodontically treated maxillary premolars that were enlarged to size #50 were restored using three restorative materials (one ormocer, one packable composite, and one high-copper amalgam) and two application techniques (with or without coronal radicular technique). Copper rings were filled with self-curing polymethylmethacrylate resin and the teeth were placed into resin up to the level of the CEJ. The teeth were grouped according to the restorative material and technique, mounted in a Universal Testing Machine, and the buccal walls subjected to a slowly increasing compressive force until fracture occurred. The force of fracture of the walls of each tooth was recorded and the results in the various groups compared. The group restored with packable composite without radicular extension showed the highest resistance to fracture (p < 0.05). Both groups restored with amalgam were significantly weaker than all the other groups (p < 0.05).

Introduction: To evaluate topographic changes of enamel surface in 3-dimensional after different debonding methods of aligner attachments formed with 2 different composite resins.
Methods: Vertical rectangular attachments were created on 88 premolar teeth and divided into two composite resin groups (Group 1:flowable, Group 2:packable) (N = 44). These were then divided into two subgroups (N = 22) using different debonding methods.

: The success of treatment and prevention for secondary caries hinges significantly on the techniques employed in Class II composite restoration. Additionally, the location of the restored tooth within the oral cavity has emerged as a potential factor determining the quality of the restoration. A comprehensive understanding of these interrelated variables is crucial for advancing the efficacy and durability of dental composite restorations.

Highly packable and deployable electronics offer a variety of advantages in electronics and robotics by facilitating spatial efficiency. These electronics must endure extreme folding during packaging and tension to maintain a rigid structure in the deployment state. Here, we present foldable and robustly deployable electronics inspired by Plantago, characterized by their tolerance to folding and tension due to integration of tough veins within thin leaf.

Context: One of the undesirable characteristics of dental composite resin is the polymerization shrinkage and the associated microleakage. The snowplow technique of placement and the preheating of the composite resins are methods to minimize microleakage.
Aim: The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using either preheated packable or flowable bulk-fill composite resin.

Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the color stability of different masking modalities of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on extracted carious teeth after thermal aging.
Methods And Results: One hundred and eight recently extracted carious permanent teeth were used. All sample teeth had SDF applied over the carious lesion.
