Objectives: To assess tooth discoloration induced by different hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (HCSCs), including effects of blood and placement method.
Materials And Methods: Eighty bovine teeth cut to a length of 18 mm (crown 8 mm, root 10 mm) were randomly assigned to 10 groups (n = 8), receiving orthograde apical plug treatment (APT). Apical plugs were 4 mm in length and made of ProRoot MTA (Dentsply), Medcem MTA (Medcem), TotalFill BC RRM Fast Set Putty (Brasseler), or Medcem Medical Portland Cement (Medcem) plus bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) with and without bovine blood. Further, orthograde (with or without preoperative adhesive coronal dentin sealing) and retrograde APT were compared. Teeth were obturated with gutta-percha and sealer, sealed with composite and stored in distilled water. Tooth color was measured on apical plug, gutta-percha/sealer, and crown surface before treatment versus 24 h, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment by spectrophotometry. Color difference (ΔE) values were calculated and analyzed by Shapiro-Wilk test, ANOVA with post hoc tests, Friedman test, t test, and post hoc tests with Bonferroni correction (α = .05).
Results: Tooth discoloration occurred in all groups with no significant differences between HCSCs (p > .05). After 24 months, color changes were prominent on roots but insignificant on crowns. Blood contamination induced a significantly decreased luminescence (p < .05). Blood had a stronger impact on tooth color than BiO. No relevant effects of retrograde placement (p > .05) or preoperative dentin sealing (p > .05) were detected.
Conclusions: Apical plugs of the tested HCSCs cause discoloration of bovine roots, but not discoloration of bovine tooth crowns within a 24-month period.
Clinical Relevance: APT should be performed carefully while avoiding direct contact with the coronal dentin, and in that case no aesthetic impairments occur.

Objectives: To synthesize experimental toothpastes (ETs) containing four different polymers (sodium linear polyphosphate [LPP]; chitosan [CHI]; sodium hexametaphosphate [HMP]; and sodium pyrophosphate [PP]) and test their ability in preventing and removing tooth extrinsic stain.
Methods: The tooth specimens were randomly assigned into six groups (n = 10): control (artificial saliva), regular toothpaste (RT-no whitening claim), ET 5% LPP, ET 0.5% CHI, ET 5% HMP, and ET 5% PP.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy and safety of prolonged azithromycin (PAZM) versus switching to doxycycline (SDXC) in the treatment of macrolide-unresponsive pneumonia (MUMPP) in children.
Methods: A total of 173 children with MUMPP who were hospitalized in Baoji Central Hospital, from January to December 2023 were selected as subjects. According to the choice of secondary antibiotic after 72 hours of initial macrolide therapy, they were divided into two groups: PAZM and SDXC.

Background: The clinical performance of dental materials can be predicted via artificial aging approaches. The bracket bonding procedure may cause irreversible alterations to the enamel surface. The aim of this study was to introduce a novel artificial aging protocol and evaluate its effect on the discoloration of both bracket-bonded and unbonded teeth while also comparing the effects of four orthodontic adhesives on enamel color and whiteness.

Objective: To assess the color stability and surface roughness of bioactive resin-based composite following exposure to coffee staining and brushing with whitening toothpastes.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens of Filtek Z250 (FZ), Beautifil Flow Plus (BFP), Activa Presto (AP), and Fuji II LC (FII) were stained with coffee and then brushed with one of three toothpastes, conventional (C-TP), non-peroxide whitening (W-TP) or hydrogen peroxide-containing whitening toothpaste (HPW-TP) for 10 000 cycles. Changes in color (ΔE) and surface roughness were measured.
