The effects of the incorporation of sodium-free bioactive glass into glass ionomer cement (GIC) on the demineralized dentin are studied. Four experimental groups with various amounts of BAG in GIC were considered: BG0 group: 0 wt% (control); BG5 group: 5 wt%; BG10 group: 10 wt%; BG20 group: 20 wt%. The GIC surface and GIC-approximated demineralized dentin surfaces were evaluated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to evaluate the chemical changes in the GIC-approximated dentin surface. In addition, a shear bond strength test was performed to evaluate the effects of BAG incorporation on the bond strength of GIC. FE-SEM analysis indicated that BAG-incorporated GICs formed distinct precipitates on their surface. Precipitates were also formed on the GIC-approximated demineralized dentin surface. It was more obvious when the amount of BAG increased. In the XRD analysis, fluorapatitie (FAP) peaks were detected in the BG5, BG10, and BG20 groups. There was no significant difference in the shear bond strength among all experimental groups. BAG-incorporated GIC precipitated FAP crystals underlying demineralized dentin surface without affecting bond strength. This study suggests the possibility of BAG as a beneficial additive in GIC.

Background: It has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets.

Purpose: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density.

Background: Treatment of deep carious lesions poses significant challenges in dentistry, as complete lesion removal risks compromising pulp vitality, while selective removal often reduces the longevity of restorations. Herein, we propose a minimally invasive approach using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for microscale removal of carious dentine. Concurrently, HIFU's antimicrobial effects against associated cariogenic biofilms and the corresponding thermal and biological impacts on surrounding tissues were investigated.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the histomorphometric findings of autogenous tooth grafting (ATG) for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), using graft material from extracted teeth. Variations by sex, age and location of extracted teeth, as well as any associated complications, were also assessed.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, single-cohort study was conducted using ATG placed in extraction sockets.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has gained popularity for its caries-arresting properties, yet its tendency to cause esthetic concerns due to black-staining limits its widespread acceptance.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of Activa BioActive and Giomer restorative material with different protocols of SDF pretreatment on carious dentin.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two extracted teeth were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, sectioned 1 mm into dentin, mounted in acrylic resin and randomly divided into four ( = 8) control and six ( = 10) experimental groups.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare: (1) the effect of the bacterial biofilm on the dentin mineral density at the restoration-tooth interface and (2) the mineralization potential of three resin-based restorative materials (RBRM).

Methods: 16 extracted human molars free of caries and cracks were collected and stored for disinfection. Each tooth received two standardized Class II preparations with the cervical margin placed in dentin.
