Aim: This in vitro study compared the mineral loss of natural and artificially-created caries-affected dentin in primary and permanent teeth using the same protocol to induce caries lesions.
Materials And Methods: Twenty molars presenting natural occlusal dentin caries lesions (10 primary-PriC and 10 perma-nent-PermC; control group), and 20 sound molars (10 primary -PripH and 10 permanent-PermpH; experimental group), were selected. Occlusal cavities were prepared in teeth of the experimental group that were submitted to pH-cycling for 14 days to simulate caries-affected dentin. All specimens were longitudinally sectioned and prepared in order to obtain Knoop micro-hardness values from 15 to 250 urn depth, starting in bottom of center of natural lesions or cavities. The microhardness (KHN) data were submitted to three-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's tests (α = 0.05).
Results: Considering all depths, there was no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) between the mineral loss of the control (PriC = 30.9 ± 6.4 and PermC = 40.8 ± 8.6) and experimental (PripH = 27.3 ± 11.1 and PermpH = 35.5 ± 14.0) groups, neither between primary and permanent teeth.
Conclusion: The mineral loss of the artificially-created caries-affected dentin is similar to that from naturally developed dentin caries lesions.
Clinical Significance: The pH-cycling model may be a suitable method to simulate caries-affected dentin in both permanent and primary teeth.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of laser fluorescence (LF) readings in detection of caries removal by various techniques (CRTs).
Methods: A hundred and eighty extracted human molar teeth included in the study which were scored 3, 4, and 5 according to ICDAS. Each score group was randomly assigned to 4 subgroups according to CRT including ceramic bur (Group A), carbide bur (Group B), carbide bur with alumina abrasion (Group C), and carbide bur with bioactive glass (BAG) abrasion (Group D) (n = 15 for each group).

Article Synopsis
- A systematic review was conducted to see if acid etching would improve the bond strength of universal adhesives (UAs) on caries-affected dentin, both before and after aging.
- Researchers analyzed 26 studies focusing mainly on mild UAs, finding that acid etching had no significant effect on their bond strength (p > 0.05).
- The study concluded that aging significantly weakened the bond strength of mild UAs to caries-affected dentin, with bond strength being notably lower compared to sound dentin (p < 0.05).

Introduction: The degree of conversion of dentin bonding agents contributes to the success of final restorations in adhesive dentistry. It is clinically relevant, as it is directly related to the overall bond strength that maintains these restorations in place and prevents marginal deterioration. However, Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) present within the dentin substrate have been known to have a deleterious effect on the bond stability, due to their collagenolytic activity.
