Objective: To observe the changes of clinical conditions, and measure the GCF volume during the experimental gingivitis in Chinese for studying the relationship between the GCF volume and the development of gingival inflammation.
Methods: 11 young male subjects with healthy gingiva, who had no systemic diseases, were selected for this study. GCF samples (18 teeth/person) were collected with strips of filter paper and the clinical parameters were recorded at the baseline (0 day), the 7th, 14th, 21st day (without oral hygiene), and 28th day (7 days after reestablishing oral hygiene) during experimental gingivitis. The GCF volume was measured by weighting.
Results: During the experimental gingivitis, all of the clinical parameters plaque index (PLI), bleeding index (BI), gingival index (GI) and probing index (PD) increased gradually following the plaque assembling, there were significant differences comparing the data of baseline with the data of afterwards without oral hygiene. On the 28th day, the data reduced to the level of baseline rapidly. The amount of GCF had the same tendency with the clinical parameters during the experimental gingivitis. There was positive correlation between the amount of GCF and clinical parameters.
Conclusion: The amount of GCF can reflect the development of gingival inflammation.

This study aimed to evaluate patients' satisfaction with the esthetic outcomes of combined endodontic and prosthetic treatments for devitalized or dyschromic teeth, a condition influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors that present a growing concern in modern dentistry. A total of 104 patients, including 43 men and 61 women, underwent treatment using lithium disilicate restorations for esthetic zones and zirconium oxide restorations for regions with higher occlusal demands. Patient satisfaction was evaluated through a post-treatment questionnaire, classifying responses as either "satisfied" or "dissatisfied".

Background: Interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells plays a major role in OSCC progression. However, little is known about adipogenic differentiation alteration in OSCC-derived MSCs (OSCC-MSCs) and how these alterations affect OSCC growth.
Methods: MSCs were successfully isolated and cultured from normal gingival tissue, OSCC peritumoral tissue, and OSCC tissue.

Background: Short dentin etching, a relatively recent technique, aims to improve resin-dentin bonding by preserving hydroxyapatite crystals within the collagen spaces. This study explores short dentin etching's potential in mitigating over-etching issues in deep proximal dentin/cementum margins, an aspect not previously investigated. This study evaluates the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and marginal adaptation of two universal adhesives using different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 3-second etching) and self-etch strategies, both immediate and post-thermal cycling and mechanical loading.

Statement Of Problem: Staining at the gingival margin could impact denture longevity, but the behavior of gingival colored composite resins (GCCs) in this area remains unclear.
Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated surface staining, microleakage, and push-out bond strength at the gingival margin of artificial teeth, comparing two consistencies of GCCs with two resin base materials.
Material And Methods: Specimens included artificial teeth (Ivostar; Ivoclar AG) and two acrylic resin base materials: conventional (Ondacryl; Clássico) and high-impact (Diamond D; Keystone Industries) (n=300).

Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-17 expression in the periodontal ligament is associated with orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR). Seeking a convenient, rapid, and non-invasive IL-17 detection approach could help predict OIIRR. In this study, we assessed the potential of the IL-17 level in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) to be an indicator of OIIRR.
