Acidic conditions can cause hydrolysis and accelerate degradation of resin composites (RCs). Since there are limited and controversial data on the effect of acids on bulk-fill RCs, this study assessed the surface roughness (SR) and flexural strength (FS) of these RCs under simulated carious and erosion conditions. Bars of Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF, 3M/ESPE), X-tra fil (XTF, Voco), Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TBF, Ivoclar/Vivadent), and Aura Bulk Fill (ABF, SDI) and a conventional RC [Filtek Z350XT (FZ, 3M/ESPE)] were allocated (n=15) to undergo caries or erosion conditions. The control group was kept in artificial saliva (AS). The bars were evaluated for SR change (final-baseline) and for three-point FS. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test. At the baseline (p <0.001), the SR of RCs ranked as follows: (TBF = XTF) < FBF (none differed from FZ) < ABF. The interplay between RCs and conditions affected SR change (p = 0.025). While after storage in AS, there was no difference among RCs, following carious and erosive conditions, ABF showed higher SR change. For FS (p <0.001), XTF > (FBF = FZ) > (TBF = FZ) > ABF, with no difference among control, carious and erosive conditions (p = 0.148). Depending on the restorative bulk-fill RCs, carious and erosive conditions roughen the surface but do not affect the FS of these materials.

Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is a prevalent oral condition with varying etiology, including erosion, abrasion, abfraction, and attrition. It is reported in the literature in different nomenclatures, hindering the ability to identify the emerging trends and influential scholarly works and bodies within this field. Using a bibliometric analysis approach, this study aims to evaluate the trends, themes, and productivity of the research on ETW condition while respecting its different terminologies.

Objective: To evaluate the 36-month clinical performance of Single Bond Universal Adhesive (SBU; 3M ESPE, Germany) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using different modes of adhesion according to the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was the retention loss of the restorations, while the secondary outcomes included marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality, recurrence of caries erosion and abfraction, and tooth integrity, all evaluated according to the FDI criteria.
Materials And Methods: In this study, the SBU Adhesive was applied to 246 NCCLs of 25 patients using different modes of adhesion: Self-etch (SE), selective-enamel-etching (SLE), and etch-and-rinse (ER).

Objectives: Early childhood caries (ECC) continue to increase, especially among low socioeconomic communities. This study was conducted in an informal settlement comprising mostly foreigners who have settled in the area. Given the limited dental and medical services available to these communities, this study aimed to determine the dental and medical disease profile of these inhabitants.
