Purpose: This study evaluates the effects of different toothpastes on the nanohardness and chemical compositions of restorative materials and dental surfaces.
Methods: Bovine enamel ( = 72) and dentin ( = 72) blocks were obtained and restored using RMGIC ( = 36) or CR ( = 36) to create the following surfaces: dentin adjacent to RMGIC (DRMGIC), enamel adjacent to RMGIC (ERMGIC), dentin adjacent to CR (DCR), and enamel adjacent to CR (ECR). After restoration, one hemiface of each specimen was coated with an acid-resistant varnish to facilitate the creation of control (C) and eroded (E) sides; the latter were achieved by erosion-abrasion cycles as follows: erosion with 1% citric acid: 5 days, four times for 2 min each day; 1% citric acid/abrasion, two times for 15 s, followed by immersion in a toothpaste slurry for 2 min. Toothpastes without fluoride (WF; = 12), with sodium fluoride (NaF; = 12), and with stannous fluoride (SnF; = 12) were used for RMGIC or CR. The specimens were analyzed for nanohardness (H), and chemical composition using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman microscopy. The data were statistically analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05).
Results: Lower H values were obtained with NaF for DRMGIC-C, with a statistically significant difference from the H value obtained with WF ( < 0.05). The calcium and phosphorus concentrations in DCR-E were significantly lower with WF than with the other types of toothpaste ( < 0.05). Fluoride-containing toothpastes are capable of preserving the main chemical components of the dentin adjacent to the restorative materials under erosive-abrasive conditions.

Evaluation of Microleakage and Shear Bond Strength of Two Different Calcium-based Silicate Indirect Pulp Capping Agents When Restored with Glass Ionomer Cement and Composite Resin Restoration: A Comparative Study.

Background: Indirect pulp therapy (IPT) is a conservative treatment approach that leaves the deepest caries adjacent to the pulp undisturbed in an effort to avoid pulp exposure. The result of IPT is primarily dependent on the biocompatibility, sealing capacity, adaptability of the overlying restoration to underlying dentin, and strength of the liner material utilized.
Aim: To evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) and microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (e-MTA) and biodentine when restored with glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite resin after their initial set time.
Conservative Management of Horizontal Root Fracture: A Case Report.

In cases where permanent teeth have closed apices and completely erupted roots, the probability of root fractures is increased due to the stable support given by the adjacent bone and periodontal tissues. Fractures have the potential to affect several dental structures, including the pulp, dentin, cementum, bone, and periodontal tissues. In cases of horizontal root fractures (HRF), the apical section typically maintains vitality; however, the present case presented an unusual apex necrosis.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional tooth preparation can be uncomfortable and risky, but femtosecond lasers provide a precise, non-invasive alternative that minimizes these issues.
- This study aimed to evaluate how femtosecond laser treatment affects enamel and dentin through a review of in vitro and in vivo studies, following strict guidelines for systematic reviews.
- After a thorough literature search, 48 relevant studies were identified, focusing on the quality of tooth preparation and the effects of laser parameters, although the overall quality of these studies was not assessed.
Parameters to Improve the Accuracy of Intraoral Scanners for Fabricating Tooth-Supported Restorations.

Objectives: To review the factors that impact the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOSs) when fabricating tooth-supported restorations.
Overview: Factors can have a different impact on IOS accuracy depending on the scanning purpose. If the goal is to fabricate tooth-supported restorations, it is essential to review the following operator-related factors: IOS technology and system, scan extension and starting quadrant, scanning pattern, scanning distance, and rescanning methods.
