AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compared the adhesive performance of fourth, fifth, and seventh generation adhesive systems (GASs) on shear bond strength (SBS) when using two different light curing units.
  • Results showed that fourth and fifth GASs had similar and significantly higher SBS than the seventh GAS, with fourth GAS exhibiting the best bond strength and resistance to debonding.
  • The light curing unit with a power of 1500 mw/cm was found to optimize orthodontic bracket adhesion, emphasizing a relationship between adhesive strength and light intensity used.

Article Abstract

Objective: We aimed to compare adhesive performance of fourth, fifth and seventh generation adhesive systems (GASs) and the effect of two different light curing units on shear bond strength (SBS).

Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty extracted human upper premolars were divided in four groups. Bonds were assessed as following: group 1 using 4th GAS, group 2 using 5th GAS, group 3 and 4 using 7th GAS with two different light curing units (1500 and 800mw/cm). Adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores were counted.

Results: Group 1 and 2 showed similar SBSs (P=0.7) which were significantly higher than group 3 (P=0.0002). Group 4 exhibited significantly the weakest SBS with mean=2.15±0.25. Applying shear forces less than 15MPa on group 3 bonds led to the release of almost all of the of brackets. Whereas, applying the same forces on group 2 bonds leads to the release of 66.7% of brackets. Notably, only 40% of brackets in group 1 were debonded. Group 4 brackets were totally debonded when applying shear forces less than 10MPa. While ARI=0 was the most frequent in group 1, ARI=3 was the most frequent in group 3.

Conclusion: Fourth and fifth GASs showed similar SBS higher than seventh GAS. Fourth GAS bonds were able to resist longer against traction forces than those set up by fifth generation. Seventh GAS bonds offered the least efficient resistance. ARI=0 was the highest in group 1. However, Group 4 showed the highest ARI=1 and ARI=2 revealing cohesive failure. We also found that the adhesive power is proportional to the power of the lamp used. In fact, we concluded that 1500 mw/cm units light curing during 30seconds generated an ideal energy to enhance orthodontic bracket adhesion.

Volumetric bioprinting of the osteoid niche.

Biofabrication

Volumetric bioprinting has revolutionized the field of biofabrication by enabling the creation of cubic centimeter-scale living constructs at faster printing times (in the order of seconds). However, a key challenge remains: developing a wider variety of available osteogenic bioinks that allow osteogenic maturation of the encapsulated cells within the construct. Herein, the bioink exploiting a step-growth mechanism (norbornene-norbornene functionalized gelatin in combination with thiolated gelatin - GelNBNBSH) outperformed the bioink exploiting a chain-growth mechanism (gelatin methacryloyl - GelMA), as the necessary photo-initiator concentration was three times lower combined with a more than 50 % reduction in required light exposure dose resulting in an improved positive and negative resolution.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.

Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, 200437, China.

Background: Empirical reviews suggested that cryptoglandular anal fistulas require surgical resolution. However, some reports have indicated the possibility of nonsurgical and conservative treatment, which is discussed in this review.

Methods: This review explores the potential of nonsurgical approaches for curing anal fistulas through bacterial inhibition and immunomodulation.
