Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of immersion time and 10% carbamide peroxide treatment using a Hertzian indentation test after placing resin-based cements into 37°C distilled water, with and without 10% carbamide peroxide.

Methods: Disc-shaped specimens (10-mm diameter × 1-mm thick), were prepared from five resin-based cements; seT PP, Maxcem Elite, RelyX Unicem, Panavia F, and G-Cem. The specimens of each material were randomly divided into three groups of six. The study groups were bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide on one surface for 21 days for 2 h per day. Two control groups were kept in distilled water for either 24 h or 21 days. A load was applied to the center of the disc using a hard, steel ball. The load at the first crack was recorded.

Results: Significant differences were observed between the cements. seT PP showed the highest strength, and G-Cem the lowest. Differences between the treatment and control groups were statistically significant for all cements, except Panavia F.

Conclusions: The effect of 10% carbamide peroxide treatment reduces cement strength, which could be important for patients undergoing bleaching who have crowns.

Granite sludge dust (GSD), a significant byproduct of granite processing globally, poses severe environmental and public health challenges, with India alone generating 200 million tons annually. The conventional use of GSD in soil stabilization and construction materials is limited to 20-30%, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable repurposing solutions within the circular economy catering to broader bulk utilization. Unlike traditional techniques, repurposing granite dust using microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) offers a sustainable low-impact and eco-friendly ground improvement solution.

Objectives: To evaluate the color change and trans-amelodentinal cytotoxicity of a 22% carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching gel containing different concentration of manganese oxide (MnO).

Material And Methods: Enamel/dentin discs adapted to artificial pulp chambers were distributed according to treatments: CN-No treatment; CP22%-22%CP; CP22 + 2MnO-22%CP + 2 mg/mLMnO; CP22% + 6MnO-22%CP + 6 mg/mLMnO; CP22% + 10MnO-22%CP + 10 mg/mLMnO applied for 2 h for 15 days. Color change-CC (ΔE and ΔWI) (n = 8) was determined at 5, 10, and 15-day periods (ANOVA/Sidak).

A preclinical study on effect of betanin on sodium fluoride induced hepatorenal toxicity in wistar rats.

J Complement Integr Med

January 2025

Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.

Background: Excessive fluoride exposure leads to increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, causing harmful effects on the metabolic organs in the human body. Betanin, a pigment obtained from beetroot, is seen to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The study was conducted to determine the role of betanin in fluoride induced hepato-renal toxicity in Wistar rats.
