Background And Aims: Nowadays, studies show the effective laser irradiation role on the adhesion of bonding agents to the dentin. Therefore, the present study was set to find an appropriate protocol for the use of Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, and Diode lasers during the application of two steps self-etch adhesives in direct dental restorations in order to achieve higher microtensile strength.
Materials And Methods: A total number of 100 extracted healthy teeth were selected. After removing occlusal enamel and exposing dentin, samples randomly divided into ten groups: Group Control (C), two steps self-etch adhesives was applied in accordance with the manufacturer instructions, without using laser systems; Groups Er-YAG, laser (2940 nm, 10 Hz, 0.4w, 40 mJ) irradiated Before applying Primer (Er-BP subgroup), After applying Primer (Er-AP subgroup), After applying Bonding (Er-AB subgroup); Groups Nd-YAG, laser (1064 nm, 10 Hz, 1.2w, 40 mJ) irradiated Before applying Primer (Nd-BP subgroup), After applying Primer (Nd-AP subgroup), After applying Bonding (Nd-AB subgroup); Groups Diode, laser (940 nm, 10 Hz, 0.7w, 70 mJ) irradiated Before applying Primer (D-BP subgroup), After applying Primer (D-AP subgroup), After applying Bonding (D-AB subgroup). After intervention and composite build up, the samples were stored 24 hours in 37°C distilled water. The microtensile strength was measured using the universal testing machine. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA test and post hoc Tukey test. (p < 0.05).
Results: The Means and standard deviations of the groups were as follow: C = 30.09 ± 4.21, Er-BP = 18.83 ± 4.21, Er-AP = 14.43 ± 3.12, Er-AB = 19.67 ± 4.96, Nd-BP = 20.35 ± 5.55, Nd-AP = 39.85 ± 4.13, Nd-AB = 18.16 ± 3.36, D-BP = 26.74 ± 5.05, D-AP = 28.11 ± 5.12, D-AB = 37.28 ± 5.61. The mean microtensile strength achieved in groups: Nd-AP and D-AB were significantly higher than control group (p < 0.05). Groups D-BP and D-AP had no significant difference in comparison with control group while the remaining groups had significantly lower values (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Nd:YAG laser irradiation after applying the primer, and diode laser irradiation after applying the bonding agent, both can improve the microtensile bond strength in two steps self-etch adhesive systems significantly.

Introduction In their routine practice, dentists frequently encounter dentinal hypersensitivity, which is caused by the pulpal nerves' increased excitability due to fluid movement in the dentinal tubules. It is treated in-office using dentin desensitizers, which reduce hypersensitivity by obstructing the open tubules or desensitizing the free nerve endings present within the tubules. However, no substance or treatment plan has ever been proven to be the gold standard for the efficient treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the material properties of polymer-infiltrated zinc oxide networks (PICN) and the effect of using a phosphate monomer-containing primer applied before polymer infiltration. A total of 148 ZnO-network (zinc oxide) specimens were produced: = 74 were treated with a primer before polymer infiltration and light curing, while the remaining specimens were untreated. Each group was divided into two subgroups ( = 37) based on the infiltrating polymer: UDMA (aliphatic urethane-dimethacrylates)-TEGDMA (triethylene glycol-dimethacrylate) or BisGMA (bisphenol A-glycidyl-methacrylate)-TEGDMA.

Illegal wildlife trade poses a significant threat to Indonesia's biodiversity, especially among its diverse Felidae species (cats). While molecular methods have proven effective for identifying some Felidae species, there remains a gap in comparing these techniques across different endemic Felidae species in Indonesia, particularly in cases involving multiple species in confiscated wildlife products. This study applies DNA forensic techniques to analyze 38 confiscated Felidae samples, identifying four species: Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), leopard (Panthera pardus), leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), and clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa).
