Objective: To evaluate root dentine demineralisation, biomass and loosely bound fluoride (CaF ) concentration according to different frequencies of sucrose exposure using a high-fluoride dentifrice.
Background: Although high-fluoride dentifrice has been recommended to arrest root dentine lesions, it is not clear whether it can protect dentine from increased frequencies of sucrose exposure.
Methods: An in situ, crossover, split-mouth study was conducted in 3 phases with 7 days each, in which 10 volunteers used a palatal device containing 4 bovine root dentine slabs (2 on each side) with predetermined initial hardness. Cariogenic challenge consisted in dripping a 20% sucrose solution 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 times/d in each block. Volunteers used high-fluoride dentifrice (NaF, 5000 µg F/g) 3 times/d. After each phase, final hardness was measured and the percentage of surface hardness loss (%SHL) calculated. Also, biomass and CaF concentration on dentine were determined. The data were processed and analysed by ANOVA and Tukey test with significance level set at 5%. The relationship between the variables was analysed by linear regression and Pearson correlation (r).
Results: %SHL and biomass were significantly greater than control for sucrose frequencies higher than 6 times/d (P < 0.001), while CaF concentration decreased from sucrose frequency higher than 2 times/d (P < 0.001). Regression analysis data showed a significant linear fit between sucrose exposure frequency and the studied variables with a strong correlation (r) for %SHL and CaF and moderate for biomass (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: High-fluoride dentifrice is able to reduce root dentine demineralisation if sucrose consumption is not higher than 6 times/d.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, PMNM Dental College and Hospital, Bagalkot, Karnataka, India.
Aim: The present study is aimed to compare the effectiveness of dentinal tubule occlusion of two natural-based desensitizing toothpaste (Bentodent Desensitizer and Fang Farm Mint) and Novamin-based toothpaste (Shy-NM) under scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Materials And Methods: A total of 60 root dentin discs (3 mm-thick) were obtained from recently extracted permanent premolar teeth and were randomly divided into four groups based on the desensitizing toothpaste used, each group with 15 samples: Group I: Control, group II: Shy-NM, group III: Bentodent desensitizer, group IV: Fang Farm Mint. Samples were brushed for 2 min twice daily with a soft toothbrush with respective pea size amount of toothpaste for 14 days manually.

Introduction Endodontic re-infections primarily occur due to the ingress of bacteria and their toxins through an incomplete seal following obturation. A variety of sealers have been developed to achieve effective integration with the different obturation materials and dentinal tubules. To choose the right endodontic sealer and application for each clinical instance, one must be aware of the attributes of the various sealers commonly used in clinical practice.

Background: Dental trauma can cause damage to the pulp tissue in immature teeth. Revascularization therapy is a possible option in the treatment of non-vital, immature permanent teeth with a history of trauma. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical results of immature teeth with a history of trauma treated by regenerative endodontic procedures and mineral trioxide aggregate apexification techniques.

Introduction: Establishing an optimized regenerative microenvironment for pulp-dentin complex engineering has become increasingly critical. Recently, exosomes have emerged as favorable biomimetic nanotherapeutic tools to simulate the developmental microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted roles of exosomes from human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) that initiated odontogenic differentiation while sustaining mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics in odontogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis during pulp-dentin complex regeneration.
