Background: The implementation of restorative procedures that guarantee success and optimize clinical time is the target of investigations in Restorative Dentistry. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sonic insertion of bulk-fill (BF) and conventional (C) resin composites on the microtensile bond-strength (µ-TBS) and cure depth (CD) of large and deep class I restorations.
Material And Methods: Fifty-six healthy human premolars were selected and occlusal cavities (4 x 4 x 3 mm; factor C = 5) were prepared. TC - Tetric N-Ceram (BF), SF - SonicFill (BF), and Z350 - Filtek Z350 XT (C) composite resins were used to restore the cavities, using sonic (S) and non-sonic (NS) insertion techniques. A group restored with conventional incremental insertion (I) using Z350 XT resin was performed serving as a control. Teeth were prepared for microtensile bond-strength test (µ-TBS). And also, restoration depths of 1 and 4 mm were measured with an automatic microhardness indenter (50 g -15 s) to determine the CD. Results were evaluated using ANOVA, Scheffe, and Games-Howel posthoc test (α = 0.05).
Results: Types of resins and insertion techniques present statistical differences for µ-TBS and CD ( ≤ 0.001). The µ-TBS was higher respectively for the groups SF > TC > Z350; however, the sonic insertion for SF and Z350 (I) did not present significant differences in µ-TBS. Higher microhardness values were observed on the surface (1mm). At a depth of 4 mm Z350 (I)> SF(S)> SF(NS)> TC(S/NS)> Z350(S/NS) (< 0.001). Pearson's Correlation of bond strength and base micro-hardness was significant ( ≤ 0.001), strong, and positive (0.955).
Conclusions: The influence of sonic insertion is material dependent, influenced only the microhardness of the SonicFill resin and did not interfere with the bond strength and cure depth of other bulk fill and conventional resin composite.

Introduction: This study assessed a new antimicrobial paste formulation containing nitrofurantoin for regenerative endodontics against multispecies biofilms.
Methods: Four groups of 11 single-root teeth each were tested: Negative control group (brain-heart infusion broth + micro-organisms); Hoshino 1 conventional tri-antibiotic paste group (1:1:1 ratio); Hoshino 5 group (5:5:5 ratio); Experimental group with nitrofurantoin, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of each antimicrobial were determined.

Background: While the benefits of sonication for improving periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are well-documented, its potential therapeutic effect against bacterial biofilm remains unstudied. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of a novel nanoparticle ultrasonication process on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacterial biofilm formation in a PJI rat model.
Methods: This novel ultrasonication process was designed to remove attached bacterial biofilm from implant and peri-articular tissues, without damaging native tissues or compromising implant integrity.

This study aimed to formulate and statistically optimize spanlastics loaded spongy insert (SPLs-SI) of prednisolone Na phosphate (PRED) to enhance and sustain its anti-inflammatory effect in a controlled manner. An I-optimal optimization was employed using Design-Expert® software. The formulation variables were sonication time, the Span 60: EA ratio and type of edge activator (Tween 80 or PVA) while Entrapment efficiency (EE%), Vesicles' size (VS) and Zeta potential (ZP) were set as the dependent responses.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
