Pit and fissure sealant should be treatment option provided to all children, particularly at the age immediately after eruption of the posterior teeth and especially, but not exclusively, the permanent teeth. Preventive resin restoration is minimally invasive procedure that should be the treatment of choice for small carious lesions in the posterior teeth. The Class I amalgam should not be placed as a first-time restorative material to treat incipient or small carious lesions under any circumstances. The amount of tooth structure removal necessary for Class I Black preparation, which requires sufficient depth of amalgam and extension for prevention, is an unacceptable treatment when minimally-invasive options are available.

Water-based acrylic emulsions are a crucial component of water-based ink. Preventing visible cracks in emulsion coating during drying is a great challenge due to the high polarity and high surface tension of water. Herein, we propose that the cracking resistance of the coating can be enhanced through the incorporation of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles.

Impact of surface conditioner phytic acid (IP6) Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ECYL) methylene blue photodynamic therapy (MB-PDT) on the microleakage and shear bond strength (SBS) of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) to primary sound dentin. Overall, 80 extracted sound primary molars were collected followed by their submergence in self-cure acrylic resin. The dentin surface was exposed and made flat and was assigned into four groups based on the surface conditioning.

Vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP) are among the last-resort antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. They are administered intravenously (IV); however, ≈5 - 10% of the total IV dose is released in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via biliary excretion, driving resistance emergence in commensal Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) populations.

Pines produce and accumulate oleoresin, which is part of the preformed defensive system or is synthesized de novo in response to biotic and abiotic challenges. Fusarium circinatum is a fungal pathogen that causes Pine Pitch Canker disease and is characterized by cankers with abundant resin at the infection site. F.

This study assessed the effect of composite resins, aggregated or not with S-PRG particles, and the use of toothpaste in controlling demineralization and bacterial growth. Human molars were distributed into 3 groups: control (CT) - sound teeth, Beautifil Bulk Restorative System (aggregated with S-PRG) (BB), Filtek One Bulk Fill (without S-PRG) (FB). Teeth destined for groups BB and FB previously received Class I preparations (4 × 4 × 4 mm), followed by single-increment restorations.
