Objectives: The currently available commercial dental resin composites have limitations in use owing to the high viscosity and water sorption of Bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA). The objective of this study was to obtain a BisGMA analog with reduced viscosity and hydrophilicity for potential use as an alternative to BisGMA in dental resin composites.
Methods: The targeted chlorinated BisGMA (Cl-BisGMA) monomer was synthesized via the Appel reaction. The structural modification was confirmed via H- and C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Five resin mixtures (70:30wt.%: F1=BisGMA/TEGDMA; F2=Cl-BisGMA/TEGDMA; F3=Cl-BisGMA only; F4=Cl-BisGMA/BisGMA; F5 contained 15% TEGDMA with equal amounts of BisGMA and Cl-BisGMA) were prepared. The viscosity, degree of double-bond conversion (DC), water sorption (W), and solubility (W) were tested. Cell viability and live/dead assays, as well as cell attachment and morphology assessments, were applied for cytotoxicity evaluation.
Results: Cl-BisGMA was successfully synthesized with the viscosity reduced to 7.22 (Pas) compared to BisGMA (909.93,Pas). Interestingly, the DC of the F2 resin was the highest (70.6%). By the addition of equivalence concentration of Cl-BisGMA instead of BisGMA, the W was decreased from 2.95% (F1) to 0.41% (F2) with no significant change in W. However, the W increased with high Cl-BisGMA content. Biological tests revealed that all the resins were biocompatible during CL1 incubation.
Significance: The experimental resins based on Cl-BisGMA exhibited improved properties compared with the control samples, e.g., biocompatibility and lower viscosity, indicating that Cl-BisGMA can be considered as a potential monomer for application in dental resin composites.

The objective of this systematic literature review was to investigate the effect of Coca-Cola on the properties and, more generally, on the integrity of direct dental filling materials. In addition, it aimed to highlight the importance of dietary behaviour in dentistry and, in this context, to identify tangible strategies for action in routine clinical practice. An electronic search was conducted between January 2022 and July 2024.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.
Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.

Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of different irrigation solutions for postoperative pain in the regenerative endodontic treatments (RET) of necrotic teeth with open apex.
Materials And Methods: This study included necrotic, deeply carious lower molars of 42 patients. Access cavities of the teeth were opened and working lengths were measured at the first visit.

Statement Of Problem: The optimal zirconia pretreatment, contingent upon the type of cement used, warrants further research.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of various surface pretreatments on the bonding efficacy of cement to zirconia.
Material And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for in vitro studies related to bonding with zirconia up to April 2024, supplemented by a manual search.
