Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture mode of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-containing and conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC) for band fixation.
Methods: Sixty extracted human third molars were embedded in acrylic resin blocks, leaving the buccal surface of the crowns parallel to the base of the molds. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups containing 30 teeth each. GIC (group 1, Ketac-Cem) or ACP-containing orthodontic cement (group 2, Aegis-Ortho) was applied onto microetched strip band material (4.0 × 3.8 mm), which was then attached to the tooth surfaces. With a universal testing machine, each cemented band strip was shear mode loaded until failure. Thereafter, all teeth and band strips were examined under 10× magnification. The remaining cement was assessed with a modified Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI). The SBS data were analyzed using the t test and the fracture modes by the chi-square test.
Results: There was no significant difference between the bond strength of group 1 (GIC, mean: 28.9 ± 15.2 MPa) and group 2 (ACP-containing cement, mean: 26.3 ± 11.8 MPa). The fracture modes differed significantly between the two groups (P<.01).
Conclusion: Both groups had a similar level of SBS. The fracture sites of the ACP-containing cement were predominantly in the enamel-cement interface.

This paper presents a review of the potential role of the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi complex and intracellular vesicles in mediating events leading to or associated with vertebrate tissue mineralization. The possible importance of these organelles in this process is suggested by observations that calcium ions accumulate in the tubules and lacunae of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Similar levels of calcium ions (approaching millimolar) are present in vesicles derived from endosomes, lysosomes and autophagosomes.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of home-use desensitizing agents over an 8-week period by comparing them using different measurement methods.
Methods: A randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted with 180 individuals aged between 18 and 70 who clinically diagnosed dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in two or more non-adjacent teeth. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria (n = 164) were randomly allocated into five test groups-using Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), Arginine, Novamin, Propolis, and Potassium nitrate-and a control group using standard fluoride toothpaste.
Peptide-Ca chelates are innovative calcium supplements. possesses nutritional advantages for preparing calcium-binding peptides (CBPs), although there are limited studies on this subject. Therefore, this paper investigated the optimal condition for preparing CBPs and peptide-calcium chelates (LP-Ca), along with analyzing their microstructure, calcium-binding mechanisms, stability, and calcium transporting efficacy.

Intracellular calcium carbonate formation has long been associated with a single genus of giant Gammaproteobacteria, Achromatium. However, this biomineralization has recently received increasing attention after being observed in photosynthetic Cyanobacteriota and in two families of magnetotactic bacteria affiliated with the Alphaproteobacteria. In the latter group, bacteria form not only intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates into large inclusions that are refringent under the light microscope, but also intracellular ferrimagnetic crystals into organelles called magnetosomes.
