The aim of the present study was to evaluate the shear bond strength test of two glass-ionomer cements (G C cement and Ketac Bond) after different chemical pretreatments of dentine surface. The following dentine pretreatments were used: sodium hypochlorite, polyacrylic acid, tannic acid, H3PO4, FeCl3, Fe ossalate, Tubulicid, H2O2 and aqueous solution as control. Flat dentine surface of human extracted teeth was treated with the chemical agents, washed and dried. Cylindrical specimens of glass-ionomer cement were applied on dentine surface. After 24 hours in humidifier the specimens were tested in a universal testing machine. A significant higher bond was obtained only from polyacrylic acid and sodium hypochlorite treatments. The present results suggest that dentine pretreatment represent an essential step in composite resin/glass-ionomer cement restorations.

Objectives: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal cements (UCs) to dentin prepared with different diamond burs using various adhesive strategies.

Materials And Methods: One-hundred-twenty molars were prepared to expose the mid-coronal dentin. The teeth were divided into two groups according to diamond bur preparations: coarse and super-fine grit burs.

Objective:  This study compares the color change of non-vital anterior teeth after laser-activated bleaching and conventional walking bleaching technique.

Materials And Methods:  Sixty extracted teeth were endodontically treated, stained in a black tea solution, and the baseline shade was measured using a spectrophotometer (Easyshade, VITA). Bleaching was done using either: internal bleaching with 35% HO (Opalescence Endo) and then tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr1), 35% HO (JW Next) for 7 minutes (Gr2), internal and external bleaching for 7 minutes (Gr3), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 30 seconds (940 nm, continuous wave, 2 W, noncontact mode, 300 um, non-initiated tip), wait for 7 minutes, second laser application for 30 seconds, tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr4), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 24 hours (Gr5), or diode laser-activated internal and external bleaching for 24 hours (Gr6) ( = 10).

Root caries present a significant challenge in dentistry. The unsatisfactory prognosis of restorative treatments requires novel, noninvasive preventive strategies. Here, we developed an amelogenin-derived peptide-modified poly(amidoamine), PAMAM-C11, to prevent demineralization in caries lesions and control periodontal destruction.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the toothbrushing wear on both enamel and dentin surfaces of reference and commercially available dentifrices.

Methods: Bovine enamel and dentin blocks were initially polished and embedded within a resin composite in square shapes (10×8×6 mm3). Employing toothbrushes equipped with nylon bristles, a toothbrushing machine was utilized, subjecting dentin specimens (n = 36) to 500 brush cycles and enamel samples to 5000 brush cycles (n = 36).

A comparative evaluation of commercially available short fiber-reinforced composites.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Biomaterials Science and Turku Clinical Biomaterial Center -TCBC, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.

Background: Short fiber-reinforced composites (SFRCs) are restorative materials for large cavities claimed to effectively resist crack propagation. This study aimed to compare the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of five commercially available SFRCS (Alert, Fibrafill Flow, Fibrafill Dentin, everX Flow, and everX Posterior) against a conventional particulate-filled composite (PFC, Essentia Universal).

Methods: The following characteristics were evaluated in accordance with ISO standards: flexural strength and modulus and fracture toughness.
