Background: Dental caries is a prevalent oral health issue primarily caused by Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium that contributes to tooth decay. Antimicrobial agents in dentifrices are often utilized to target these pathogens. Nano silver fluoride (NSF) has emerged as a potential antimicrobial agent due to its ability to inhibit bacterial growth.

Background And Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of methylene blue dye with 660-nm diode laser in cavity disinfection and to compare the total bacterial count in dentinal samples preexcavation, postexcavation, and postdisinfection. The study design was experimental in vivo.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen children aged 5-12 years with 15 primary molars requiring atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) were selected.

Background: Smart burs and chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) systems are considered viable alternatives to traditional cavity preparation techniques. Numerous clinical studies have been conducted to assess and compare the impact of these two techniques; nevertheless, these studies have demonstrated considerable variability in their findings. The objectives of the present systematic review and meta-analysis were to compare the efficacy, efficiency, and patient comfort of CMCR systems and smart burs in primary molars.

Confocal imaging is a powerful tool capable of analyzing cellular spatial data within a given tissue. Here, we present a protocol for preparing optically cleared extensor digitorum longus (EDL) skeletal muscle samples suitable for confocal imaging/computational analysis. We describe steps for sample preparation (including perfusion fixation and tissue clearing of muscle samples), image acquisition, and computational analysis, with sample segmentation/3D rendering outlined.
