Statement Of The Problem: Tooth color changes followed by treatment with bioceramic materials are always a matter of concern.
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare tooth discoloration that occurs in human teeth filled with ProRoot WMTA (DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK) and those filled with Nano Fast Cement (NFC) over the course of 3 months.
Materials And Method: In this experimental study, Thirty human intact premolars were obtained. The roots of all teeth were removed by a horizontal cut about 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. The pulp tissues were removed using a barbed broach (Mani, Tokyo, Japan).The teeth were randomly divided to 3 groups (n= 10) including the control (no material), ProRoot WMTA and NFC. The experimental materials were condensed into the crowns and the teeth ends were sealed with light-cure glass ionomer cement (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The color was assessed at T (baseline; after preparation of the cavities but before placement of the materials), T (immediately after placement of the filling material and provisional restoration), T (after 4weeks of storage), and T (after 12weeks) of storage.
Results: The discoloration was evident in all teeth, immediately (T) after applying MTA and NFC. The highest ΔΕ was noted in WMTA at 12 weeks, followed by NFC; however, there was no significant difference between the discolorations induced by these two materials.
Conclusion: Similar levels of clinically observable tooth discoloration were detected by using either WMTA or NFC.

Background: In recent years, there have been suggestions for new restorative strategies that aim to effectively utilize modern adhesive technologies and protect the remaining intact tooth structure. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of fiber reinforced resin composites in restoring Class II MOD cavities over 18 months.
Methods: Forty-five participants with class II MOD cavities were randomly enrolled.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disorder that affects both primary and permanent teeth. It primarily manifests as developmental disorders of enamel. The condition occurs independently of other systemic disorders and is caused by mutations in genes responsible for enamel formation, inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked patterns.

: Caries or iatrogenic thermal trauma of the teeth have a significant impact on the dental pulp structure connected with stimulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify the difference in the rate of heat dissipation by vessels present in the dental pulp. : Freshly extracted healthy ( = 10) and carious ( = 14) molars and premolars were cut on a diamond saw and subjected to active thermographic examination and then subjected to lymphoscintigraphy and X-ray examination.

Assessing parental aesthetic acceptability of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) staining is crucial for its potential implementation in paediatric dentistry in different regions. This study aimed to compare aesthetic perceptions and acceptance of SDF staining between Spanish and Italian parents, and assess weather acceptability is influenced by location, child's cooperation, or demographic background. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among Spanish and Italian parents at three university dental clinics, using a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes".

Background: Importance of fluoride in dental restorative materials for preventing secondary caries. Several commercially available tooth-colored dental restorative materials, such as glass ionomer cement, resin composites, and compomers were used for this study.
Aim: To evaluate the amount of fluoride release from tooth-colored restorative materials [Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement (GC Fuji II)], Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Cement (ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE), and Giomer (BEAUTIFIL II LS)] using ion-selective electrode (ISE) and spectrophotometer using zirconyl alizarin red dye method.
