The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of substituting triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) with 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) on water sorption, water solubility, degree of conversion, polymerization shrinkage, fluoride release and flexural strength of bisphenol-A-glycerolate dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA)/TEGDMA/urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) dental composites. Flexural strength, water sorption and water solubility were measured according to ISO 4049 standard. Degree of conversion was determined by FTIR technique. Fluoride release rate in deionized water at 37°C was determined by using photometric method. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests were used for statistical significance analysis (p<0.05). The results demonstrated that TFEMA decreased water solubility and volumetric shrinkage significantly but neither reduced water sorption, enhanced flexural strength nor improved degree of conversion. Partial substitution of TEGDMA with TFEMA in Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/UDMA dental composite had positive effect on its water solubility and volumetric shrinkage quality.

Objective: To investigate the color stability of a one-shade resin-based composite material (RC) and a glass-ionomer cement (GIC) after staining with plaque detectors (PDs) with different formulations and delivery forms.
Materials And Methods: Rectangular-shaped specimens (7 × 3 × 2 mm) were produced with RC (Venus Diamond One, Kulzer) and GIC (Fujy IX GP, GC) (n = 30). Further, the following PDs were used on the specimens: (1) tablets (T; Plaq-Search, TePe); (2) mouthwash (M; Plaque Agent, Miradent); and (3) light-curing liquid (L; Plaque test, Ivoclar).
Imbalance of oral microbiome homeostasis: the relationship between microbiota and the occurrence of dental caries.

Background: Streptococcus mutans is recognized as a key pathogen responsible for the development of dental caries. With the advancement of research on dental caries, the understanding of its pathogenic mechanism has gradually shifted from the theory of a single pathogenic bacterium to the theory of oral microecological imbalance. Acidogenic and aciduric microbial species are also recognized to participate in the initiation and progression of dental caries.

Introduction: To evaluate topographic changes of enamel surface in 3-dimensional after different debonding methods of aligner attachments formed with 2 different composite resins.
Methods: Vertical rectangular attachments were created on 88 premolar teeth and divided into two composite resin groups (Group 1:flowable, Group 2:packable) (N = 44). These were then divided into two subgroups (N = 22) using different debonding methods.
