Objective: The purpose of the study was to measure the fatigue properties of four dental resin composites using a dynamic mechanical analysis and to relate the results with viscoelastic properties.
Methods: Dynamic torsional loading was conducted at resonance at 30-50Hz. Specimens were thoroughly cured and tested dry at 21 degrees C.
Results: All of the specimens showed a loss of strength following repeated stress, due to material fatigue. The material with the highest shear modulus had the lowest damping and the highest fatigue strength.
Significance: Dental composites exhibit a modest loss of strength due to fatigue. Since mastication involves many cycles of stress during the life of a restoration, fatigue properties should be taken into account in restoration design.

Introduction And Aims: Marginal sealing by enamel bonding is important to enhance the durability of the restoration and prevent secondary caries after operative procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the enamel acid resistance and bond strength of an experimental calcium-containing adhesive system.
Methods: All materials were provided by Kuraray Noritake Dental, Inc.

Bone is formed by specialized cells whose activity allows bone to grow, change shape, and repair itself. Its composite structure of collagen fibrils and bioapatite nanocrystals gives bone exceptional mechanical strength. Using scanning electron microscopy, we show in fossil ichthyosaurs, 150 to 200 million years old, from the Jurassic of France and the UK, abundant and direct evidence of cellular activity on the fossilized forming, resting, and resorbing surfaces of bone trabeculae, as well as bone fibrils, Sharpey fibers, and cartilage fibers.

Bone defects represent a significant challenge in clinical practice, driving the need for innovative solutions that effectively support bone regeneration. Barrier membranes, due to playing a critical role in creating an environment conducive to bone regeneration by preventing the infiltration of non-osteogenic tissues, are widely applied to bone repair. However, inadequate spatial stability and osteogenesis-promoting ability often limit current barrier membranes.

Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of different irrigation solutions for postoperative pain in the regenerative endodontic treatments (RET) of necrotic teeth with open apex.
Materials And Methods: This study included necrotic, deeply carious lower molars of 42 patients. Access cavities of the teeth were opened and working lengths were measured at the first visit.

Background: Oral health may influence blood pressure control by modulating the abundance and activity of nitrate-reducing bacteria, which are essential for enhancing nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. This study aimed to investigate the oral health and microbiome composition of women with pre-eclampsia (PET) compared to healthy controls (CN).
Methods: Ten PET and eleven CN women participated in this study, respectively.
