Background: A randomized clinical trial was performed to test the efficacy of a fluoridated hydrogen peroxide-based mouthrinse on gingivitis and tooth whitening in a two-phase study. The first phase (28 days) included the experimental gingivitis phase; the second phase (5 months) was the oral hygiene phase, which included rinsing.
Methods: A total of 99 subjects were included in the study and were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or test mouthrinse. Clinical measures were chosen to reflect the gingival health and tooth whiteness in an intent-to-treat study design. Statistical analyses of clinical parameters related to gingival health and tooth color were conducted, using the method of generalized estimating equations (GEE), with an exchangeable working correlation to accommodate tooth-level data. Baseline differences between the groups were adjusted. Microbial samples taken at the beginning and at the end of the study were analyzed by DNA-DNA hybridization technique, to determine whether there was any adverse shift in supragingival flora.
Results: Eastman bleeding index, modified gingival index, intensity of stain, and extent of stain were significantly reduced in the test group at 6 months compared to baseline (P < 0.05). In contrast, only the Eastman bleeding index was significantly reduced in the control group (P < 0.05). The reduction in the index of gingival inflammation for the test group was significantly greater than for the control group (P = 0.004). Subjects using the test rinse were also six times more likely to exhibit an improvement in tooth color after 6 months than were subjects using placebo (P = 0.002). As a result of the clinical evaluations and microbial analysis, test mouthrinse was found to be safe during a 6-month period.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the fluoridated hydrogen peroxide-based mouthrinse effectively whitens teeth and significantly reduces gingivitis.

Phosphogypsum (PG), a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, poses environmental pollution risks due to the potential release of impurities such as phosphorus, fluoride, and organic compounds, necessitating effective treatment and remediation. Among various methodologies, flotation has emerged as a key technique for separating impurities from PG. Although extensive research has been conducted on the separation and reuse of PG, studies focusing specifically on organic impurity separation and collector optimization are still limited.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) can replace the diaphragm and electrolyte in the traditional battery to solve safety perils such as electrolyte leakage and combustion, while their practical application is greatly hindered by their low ionic conductivity and poor ability to inhibit lithium dendrites. Herein, a laponite (LAP)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) hybrid material modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based composite polymer electrolytes (CPE) is reported. The in-situ modification of ZIF-8 induced by electrostatic interactions between LAP layers not only improves the dispersion of LAP, but also acts as an external bridge through hydrogen bonding with PVDF to construct a stable conductive network.

Fluoride contamination of groundwater exerts serious health concerns in developing countries like India, where surface water resources in general are not considered for domestic consumption. The present investigation attempts to evaluate the groundwater quality in terms of fluoride contamination in Deobhog and adjoining areas in Gariaband district, Chhattisgarh. A total of 68 groundwater samples were collected both in the pre- and post-monsoon period and analyzed for different physicochemical parameters like Temperature, pH, EC, TDS, Na, K, Ca, Mg, HCO, NO, Cl, SO, and F.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerging as promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their inherent safety, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. However, their widespread application is hindered by challenges such as dendritic Zn growth, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion-induced passivation, which compromise performance and scalability. To overcome these obstacles, we developed a novel dual-interface modified zinc anode by integrating a zinc fluoride (ZnF)-silicon (Si) interface using fluorine-doped silicon nanoparticles encapsulated within hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (F-Si@HMCS).

Objective: This clinical study evaluated an experimental pregabalin (PG) gel in reducing dental sensitivity (DS) and color change after dental bleaching.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five volunteers were selected and randomized into three groups: GPG (10% pregabalin gel), GKF (5% potassium nitrate and 2% sodium fluoride), and GP (placebo gel). Prior to the bleaching treatment, GPG and GKF received applications of the respective desensitizing gels for 10 min.
