Aim: The aim of this study was to clinically compare glass ionomer cement (GIC) with microhybrid composite resin used in class I cavities on permanent teeth over a period of 9 months.
Materials And Methods: A total of 40 teeth with class I cavities were divided into two groups (n = 20) and restored with GIC (EQUIA; GC) and microhybrid resin composite (Amelogen Plus; Ultradent). Restorations were evaluated at ×4.5 magnification using the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria every 3 months. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher's exact test (a < 0.05).
Results: The data obtained reported no statistical significance difference between both groups in regard to anatomical shape, color, postoperative sensitivity, secondary caries, material handling, adaptation, and marginal staining.
Conclusion: The results of this clinical study showed that GIC (EQUIA; GC) can be used for the restoration of permanent teeth and may be more appropriate for certain clinical situations than the resin composite material.
Clinical Significance: EQUIA (GIC) is a viable alternative to resin composite in restoring class I cavities in permanent teeth.

Symmetry in the developmental stages of permanent human teeth: a comparative study between maxilla and mandible.
Eur Arch Paediatr Dent
January 2025
Institute of Dentistry, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, Turner Street, London, E1 2AD, UK.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess symmetry of developmental stage of permanent teeth between the left and right side of the jaw, as well as between the maxilla and the mandible.
Methods: A sample of 150 panoramic radiographs of individuals aged 6-20 years (69 males, 81 females) were selected from an open-access radiographic collection (Maxwell Museum of Anthropology's orthodontic collection, Albuquerque, USA). All developing immature permanent teeth (n = 489) were scored by the first author using Moorrees and Demirjian tooth stages.
Healing the Open Apex: A Case Report on Innovative Apexogenesis of a Maxillary Molar Using Bio-C Repair.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, The Oxford Dental College, Bengaluru, IND.
Preserving pulp vitality in developing permanent teeth is paramount. This approach facilitates continued root formation, ultimately leading to apical closure, enhanced root strength, and improved overall tooth integrity. This case report details the management of a 17-year-old female patient presenting with dental caries on the right permanent maxillary molar.

Evaluation of bond durability of different self-adhesive bioactive restorative systems to dentin.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
This study aimed to compare the bonding efficacy three bioactive self-adhesive restorative systems to dentin. A total of 80 permanent human molars were utilized in this study. The occlusal enamel was removed to exposed mid-coronal dentin; 40 molars were used for microshear bond strength testing, while the remaining molars were used for micromorphological analysis of restoration/dentin interface.
