Management of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma has become increasingly driven by emerging evidence as a result of the improved quality of clinical research associating clinicopathologic risk factors with oncologic and survival outcomes. Multiple significant recent changes to treatment guidelines and staging algorithms for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma reflect evolving understanding of tumor biology and the need for adequately extensive treatment of aggressive disease. This article provides clinicians with a synopsis of the most contemporary management strategies for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, framed within the context of historical treatment philosophies.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the toothbrushing wear on both enamel and dentin surfaces of reference and commercially available dentifrices.

Methods: Bovine enamel and dentin blocks were initially polished and embedded within a resin composite in square shapes (10×8×6 mm3). Employing toothbrushes equipped with nylon bristles, a toothbrushing machine was utilized, subjecting dentin specimens (n = 36) to 500 brush cycles and enamel samples to 5000 brush cycles (n = 36).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.

Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.
