Rubber dams are widely used for landscaping in urban rivers and they retain large amounts of sediments. The sediments are rich in phosphorus (P) which can cause river eutrophication. Little is known about P release in rubber dams. We investigated the potential of sediment P release by isotherm experiment in an urban river with 30 rubber dams of northern China. We found that the potential of sediment P release (percentage saturation of zero equilibrium P concentration, EPC) was 76% at natural river part above dams, and then decreased to 67% at the 4 dam because of high deposition of fine sediments within the upper 4 dams. Between the 5 and the 30 dams, EPC increased to 90% because of the decrease of fine sediments and water soluble reactive P. EPC was also significantly higher (p < 0.05) in April and August than in November. The results suggest that the potential of sediment P release in this dammed river was mainly controlled by sediment grain size and biological effects. Therefore, management strategies for dammed rivers should focus on reducing P inputs and improving the hydraulic conditions.

Objectives: This case report describes the clinical protocols for the removal of crowns, tooth extraction, immediate implant placement, and cementation of new crowns, all performed under total or partial isolation with a dental dam.
Clinical Considerations: The patient's chief complaint was dissatisfaction with her smile. Radiographic and clinical evaluations led to the recommendation to replace the porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns on the maxillary central and lateral incisors with all-ceramic crowns.
Evaluation of the forces applied by rubber dam clamps on mandibular first molar teeth with different endodontic access cavities: a 3D FEA study.
PeerJ
August 2024
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Faculty, Firat (Euphrates) University, Elazığ, Turkey.
Background: This study aimed to examine the effect of the force applied by rubber dam clamps made from different materials on mandibular first molar teeth with various designs of endodontic access cavities using finite element analysis.
Methods: A intact tooth (IT) and seven different endodontic access cavities namely, a traditional endodontic cavity (TRADAC), a guided endodontic cavity (GEC), a conservative endodontic cavity (CAC), an ultra-conservative access cavity (UAC), a truss access endodontic cavity (TRSAC), a mesial caries access cavity (MCAC), and a distal caries access cavity (DCAC), along with two different clamp finite element models, were created. The clamp models were made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and stainless steel (SS).

Background: Aerosols generated during dental procedures have taken the forefront of discussion in dentistry. Due to the nature of their work, dental professionals face a significant risk of exposure to various biological hazards, such as saliva, blood, aerosols, and droplets. Aerosols, which are tiny particles with a diameter of less than 50µm, have a unique property that allows them to stay suspended in the air for extended periods.

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that manifests itself in primary and permanent dentitions. Pit and fissure sealants have become the most effective noninvasive treatment for addressing teeth with deep pits and fissures in children. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the behavior of the child when administering the pit and fissure sealant using the rubber dam and MiniDam.
