Background: Microleakage is still one of the defects of resin composites that can lead to treatment failure; and re-bonding technique is one of the effective ways to reduce it. This study evaluated the effect of re-bonding with a surface sealant or a dentin adhesive on microleakage in class V microhybrid, nanohybrid, and packable composite restorations.
Materials And Methods: In this in vitro study, class V cavities with occlusal margins in enamel and cervical margins in dentin/cementum were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 54 extracted premolars. The prepared teeth were randomly assigned to three groups (3 group's Χ 18 teeth each), with each group being restored with microhybrid (Point 4); nanohybrid (Herculite XRV Ultra), and packable (Packable Premise) resin composite. Following finishing and polishing procedures, each group was randomly subdivided in to three subgroups (n = 12). The margins of two groups were both etched and re-bonded with surface sealant (Optiguard) or dentin adhesive (Opti Bond Solo Plus) and control group received no treatment. Specimens were thermocycled 1500 cycles, immersed in a methylene blue, sectioned, evaluated for microleakage using a stereomicroscope at a x 20 and scored on a scale of 0-3. Data were analyzed with Kruskal - Wallis, Mann - Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests (α = 0.05).
Results: There were no significant differences among the three resin composites tested, and also no significant differences among subgroups with the same surface treatment. Only the microhybrid and packable composite restorations sealed with Optiguard had significantly lower microleakage compared to the control subgroups at the occlusal margin. There were no significant differences between occlusal and cervical margins regarding the microleakage scores when compared to the control subgroups of microhybrid and packable composite restorations.
Conclusion: The re-bonding technique could be considered as an advisable procedure in order to minimize microleakage and its effect might be material-dependent.

Purpose: This study was aimed to compare the difference between iRoot SP and AH Plus on root canal sealing ability for teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis and explore whether the dentin tubule pathway plays an important role in the development of endodontic-periodontic lesions(EPL), in order to provide a theoretical basis for selection of proper time for root canal therapy and suitable root canal sealants in patients with EPL.
Methods: Fifty single-root anterior teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis were selected. The roots were completely debrided to remove the calculus, dental plaque and cementum.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the color stability of nanofilled composites with and without the application of a dentin bonding agent (Single Bond Universal Adhesive) as a surface sealer, following exposure to common beverages.
Methods: Eighty specimen disks of a nanofilled composite (Filtek 350XT) were prepared and divided into two groups: one treated without a composite sealer (Group A) and one with a composite sealer (Single Bond Universal Adhesive) (Group B). Each group was subdivided into four subgroups (subgroups A1, A2, A3, and A4 and subgroups B1, B2, B3, and B4), and each subgroup was immersed in a separate container containing coffee, tea, cola, or distilled water for 15 days.

Background: The study explores the impact of microleakage on bracket (metal/ceramic) debonding and the occurrence of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment. Various curing techniques are employed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) and microleakage in both metal and ceramic brackets.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 samples were divided into six groups, each consisting of 20 samples.

Background: Dental caries remains a significant oral health concern, particularly in young children. With an increasing interest in preventive strategies, pediatric and preventive dentistry research is now more focused on developing newer materials and techniques to coat the primary teeth to prevent the onset of new carious lesions. While traditional preventive measures such as fluoride application and sealants have been effective in reducing caries incidence, there is still a need for innovative approaches.

Silicone sealants and adhesives are extensively used in construction, automotive, industrial, and electronic applications because they exhibit excellent mechanical properties, strong adhesion, and good weather resistance. Room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicones develop good adhesion to many substrates and do not require heat for curing, which leads to flexible use in many applications. Although it is known that various factors such as relative humidity and temperature affect the curing of the RTV silicone adhesives, the interfacial chemistry that occurs during the curing process is still poorly understood but critical for success in adhesive applications.
