Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate fluoride release and water sorption of three flowable esthetic restorative materials: a giomer, a fluoride-releasing resin composite, and a nonfluoridated resin composite.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples from a giomer, a fluoride releasing nano-hybrid, and a nonfluoridated nano-hybrid composite were prepared and immersed in deionized water. Fluoride measurements were done using an ion-specific electrode attached to a microprocessor-based fluoride meter after 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks. Another thirty samples were made and placed in desiccators. Water sorption was calculated by weighing the specimens before and after water immersion for 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks. Data analysis was done using two-way ANOVA, paired -test ( < 0.05), and Pearson's correlation coefficient to calculate correlations between fluoride release and water sorption.
Results: The highest fluoride release was from giomer after 1 day, it was statistically significant from all other groups. Both nano-hybrid composites after 1 day showed significantly lower water sorption which was different than all the other groups. Pearson's correlation showed no significant correlations between fluoride release and water sorption.
Conclusions: Fluoride release is material and time dependent, while water sorption is material dependent.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating glass ionomer fillers of varying sizes on fluoride release, antiplaque properties, and the abrasive effects of toothpaste.
Materials And Methods: In this laboratory study, three toothpaste samples containing glass ionomer filler particles (0.5, 5 µm, and a hybrid combination of equal proportions of both fillers) were tested, along with a base toothpaste without fillers or fluoride and a commercial toothpaste (Colgate Total) as controls.

Phosphogypsum (PG), a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, poses environmental pollution risks due to the potential release of impurities such as phosphorus, fluoride, and organic compounds, necessitating effective treatment and remediation. Among various methodologies, flotation has emerged as a key technique for separating impurities from PG. Although extensive research has been conducted on the separation and reuse of PG, studies focusing specifically on organic impurity separation and collector optimization are still limited.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a novel contaminant, is extensively found in aquatic environments. However, the capability of the denitrifying phosphorus removal process to treat PFOA-containing wastewater, as well as its response mechanisms, are unclear. This study used batch experiments to assess the short-term impact of PFOA on denitrifying phosphorus removal systems.

Background: Compare the remineralization efficiency of Ginger, Ashwaghanda and Maca dentifrices versus commercially fluoride containing dentifrice.
Methods: Ginger, Ashwaghanda and Maca extracts were prepared by solvent extraction methodology and were characterized using transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The pH of the dentifrices was evaluated by pH meter.
