We evaluated the use of aqueous solutions containing an acid and metal chloride as a tooth surface pretreating agent. Nineteen solutions containing 10% acetic (AA), citric (CA), lactic (LA) or phosphoric acid (PA) and/or 0.11 M aluminum (Al), cupric (Cu) or ferric chloride (Fe) were prepared. The tensile bond strengths of the TBB-O initiated MENTA resin to tooth surfaces treated with the respective aqueous solutions were measured. The amount of dissolved Ca by each of the solutions was determined. The demineralization of tooth surface was mainly dependent on the pH of the aqueous solutions. There was no specific relationship between the bond strength and amount of dissolved Ca. This suggests that a high bond strength can be obtained without serious demineralization. Pretreatment with the CA-Cu, CA-Fe or LA-Cu solution markedly enhanced the bond strengths to both enamel and dentin, although these solutions demineralized tooth surface less than the solutions containing 10% PA.

Statement Of Problem: Staining at the gingival margin could impact denture longevity, but the behavior of gingival colored composite resins (GCCs) in this area remains unclear.

Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated surface staining, microleakage, and push-out bond strength at the gingival margin of artificial teeth, comparing two consistencies of GCCs with two resin base materials.

Material And Methods: Specimens included artificial teeth (Ivostar; Ivoclar AG) and two acrylic resin base materials: conventional (Ondacryl; Clássico) and high-impact (Diamond D; Keystone Industries) (n=300).

To investigate the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the biological performance of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) under oxidative stress status induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO). The hDPSCs were isolated by using tissue block separation method from healthy permanent teeth extracted for orthodontic reason. hDPSCs surface markers CD34, CD45, CD90 and CD105 were detected by flow cytometry.

To observe the stability of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and mandibular position in full-mouth occlusal reconstruction subjects by means of digital occlusal analysis. Six subjects who had completed full-mouth occlusal reconstruction by intraoral functional generated path technique for more than three years in the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were enrolled for follow-up observation, all six patients were male, with an age of (53.6±8.

Background: Preventive dental procedures are cornerstones of caries management.

Introduction: This research aims to analyze the clinical effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants when applied to etched enamel pretreated with solvents compared to the conventional etch and seal technique.

Subjects And Methods: Children and adolescents with clinically healthy occlusal surfaces or noncavitated occlusal carious lesions on permanent first and/or second molars in all four quadrants were randomly allocated into four groups.

Objective: The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different penetration depths of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement over 60 days. In addition, the amount of pain and discomfort caused by the MOP was evaluated.

Materials And Methods: A total of 22 patients (18-30 years) who need fixed orthodontic treatment were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups.
