Aims: The study evaluated the influence of light curing units and immersion media on superficial morphology and chemistry of the nanofilled composite resin Supreme XT (3M) through the EDX analysis and SEM evaluation. Light curing units with different power densities and mode of application used were XL 3000 (480 mW/cm(2)), Jet Lite 4000 Plus (1230mW/cm(2)), and Ultralume Led 5 (790 mW/cm(2)) and immersion media were artificial saliva, Coke((R)), tea and coffee, totaling 12 experimental groups. Specimens (10 mm x 2 mm) were immersed in each respective solution for 5 min, three times a day, during 60 days and stored in artificial saliva at 37 degrees C +/- 1 degrees C between immersion periods. Topography and chemical analysis was qualitative.
Findings: Groups immersed in artificial saliva, showed homogeneous degradation of matrix and deposition of calcium at the material surface. Regarding coffee, there was a reasonable chemical degradation with loss of load particles and deposition of ions. For tea, superficial degradation occurred in specific areas with deposition of calcium, carbon, potassium and phosphorus. For Coke((R)), excessive matrix degradation and loss of load particles with deposition of calcium, sodium, and potassium.
Conclusion: Light curing units did not influence the superficial morphology of composite resin tested, but the immersion beverages did. Coke((R)) affected material's surface more than did the other tested drinks.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different zirconia compositions and manufacturing processes on the light irradiance (LI), to measure the degree of conversion (DC) of solely light-curing restorative composite underneath these zirconia grades and to evaluate the respective zirconia microstructures.
Methods: Six dental zirconia grades (GC HT, GC UHT [GC]; Katana HT, Katana UTML [Kuraray Noritake]; Lava Esthetic, Lava Plus [3 M Oral Care]) were cut and sintered per manufacturer instructions. One 3D-printed zirconia grade (XJet [XJET]) was prepared according to previous research.

Background: The fracture of an endodontic instrument within the root canal system can occur during root canal therapy, complicating thorough cleaning and shaping. Consequently, managing the broken fragment becomes crucial.
Methods: Eighty Nickel-titanium (NiTi) #20 K-files (Mani, Tochigi, Japan) were cut 8 mm from the tip, fixed into a corkboard, and classified into five groups (n = 14 each).

Article Synopsis
- Despite the lack of a cure for osteoarthritis, researchers aimed to address mitochondrial dysfunction by developing a new treatment that uses mitochondria to deliver gene therapy via recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors.
- The study demonstrated that this mitochondria/rAAV system could successfully increase the expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes, showing up to an 8.4-fold increase compared to controls.
- The strategy not only improved cell proliferation and survival but also boosted the production of the extracellular matrix and enhanced mitochondrial function, indicating its potential as a promising treatment for osteoarthritis.

Background: According to anecdotal reports, SDF's ability to arrest caries can be enhanced by light-curing in a clinical setting. The purpose of the present study was to explore the dental professionals' perceptions of using SDF and to understand the barriers and enabling factors to using SDF with and without light-curing.
Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with dental professionals who had experience with using SDF with and without light-curing.
Effects of Acetyl Tributyl Citrate on the Mechanical Properties, Abrasion Resistance, and Cytotoxicity of the Light-Cured 3D Printing Polyurethane Resins.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) on the mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and cytotoxicity of a polyurethane-based 3D printing resin for mouthguard applications. The synthesized polycarbonate-based polyurethane acrylate was formulated into digital light processing printing resins with 40 wt% triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and different percentage of ATBC were added for further characterizations. The mechanical properties and abrasion resistance, ATBC migration, and the cytotoxicity of the resins were evaluated.
