Objectives: The work was motivated by the necessity to evaluate the emission changes of dental composites, as the emission under UV light is one of the important optical parameters of the hard tooth tissue.
Methods: Fulfill extra, Artemis and Durafill VS materials in A3.5 shade were tested. Coffee, tea, red wine and distilled water (blank) were used as staining drinks. The samples were soaked for 7 days. Total luminescence matrices were collected with an interval of 1 nm in emission and 10nm in excitation, in the front-face geometry.
Results: The exposure of dental composites to staining drinks caused a reduction in luminescence intensity by up to 40%, the magnitude of the reduction depending on the drink and on the composite material. In the special case of the intrinsically weak fluorescent Durafill VS, the exposure to coffee apparently caused an increase in luminescence intensity due to coffee components adsorbed on the sample surface.
Significance: It is important to improve the emission stability of dental composites. The presently proposed methods are effective in evaluating the emission of dental composites. Emission needs to be tested in addition to color, as the two parameters are uncorrelated.

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.

CAM/CAD composites are widely used as dental restoration materials due to their resistivity to wear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of human gingival fibroblast cells on three different computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) hybrid materials with resin-based composites (RBC) and to assess their stability following cell growth. The CAM/CAD dental materials were investigated in different conditions as follows: (i) cells (human gingival fibroblasts, HFIB-Gs) incubated over the material for each sample, denoted as A; (ii) reference, the raw material, denoted as B; and (iii) materials incubated in DMEM medium, denoted as C.

Following implantation, infections, inflammatory reactions, corrosion, mismatches in the elastic modulus, stress shielding and excessive wear are the most frequent reasons for orthopedic implant failure. Natural polymer-based coatings showed especially good results in achieving better cell attachment, growth and tissue-implant integration, and it was found that the inclusions of nanosized fillers in the coating structure improves biomineralization and consequently implant osseointegration, as the nanoparticles represent calcium phosphate nucleation centers and lead to the deposition of highly organized hydroxyapatite crystallites on the implant surface. In this study, magnetic nanoparticles synthesized by the co-precipitation method were used for the preparation of cellulose acetate composite coatings through the phase-inversion method.
