Objectives: Although the introduction of self-adhesive composites in restorative dentistry is very promising, the innovation of new materials also presents challenges and unknowns. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity of four different self-adhesive composites (SAC) in vitro and to compare them with resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RM-GIC), a more established group of materials.
Methods: Samples of the following materials were prepared according to ISO 7405/10993-12 and eluted in cell culture medium for 24 h at 37 °C: Vertise Flow, Fusio Liquid Dentin, Constic, Surefil One, Photac Fil and Fuji II LC. Primary human pulp cells were obtained from extracted wisdom teeth and cultured for 24 h with the extracts in serial dilutions. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay, membrane disruption was quantified by LDH assay and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry after annexin/PI staining.
Results: Two SAC (Constic and Vertise Flow) and one RM-GIC (Photac Fil) significantly reduced cell viability by more than 30% compared to the untreated control (p < 0.001). Disruptive cell morphological changes were observed and the cells showed signs of late apoptosis and necrosis in flow cytometry. Membrane disruption was not observed with any of the investigated materials.
Conclusion: Toxic effects occurred independently of the substance group and need to be considered in the development of materials with regard to clinical implications.
Clinical Significance: SAC have many beneficial qualities, however, the cytotoxic effects of certain products should be considered when applied in close proximity to the dental pulp, as is often required.

Conductive hydrogels have emerged as excellent candidates for the design and construction of flexible wearable sensors and have attracted great attention in the field of wearable sensors. However, there are still serious challenges to integrating high stretchability, self-healing, self-adhesion, excellent sensing properties, and good biocompatibility into hydrogel wearable devices through easy and green strategies. In this paper, multifunctional conductive hydrogels (PCGB) with good biocompatibility, high tensile (1694 % strain), self-adhesive, and self-healing properties were fabricated by incorporating boric acid (BA) and glucose (Glu) simultaneously into polyacrylic acid (PAA) and chitosan (CS) polymer networks using a simple one-pot polymerization method.

Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.

The development of wheat straw boards utilizing intrinsic bonding mechanisms not only facilitates the high-value utilization of agricultural solid waste but also diminishes the reliance on synthetic adhesives. In this study, using wheat straw as the primary substrate, we investigated the effects of mechanical smashing combined with pretreatment using inorganic acids or alkalis on the properties of hot-pressed boards, as well as the relationship between the properties of hot-pressed boards and the physical properties and chemical composition of wheat straw raw materials. These selective pretreatments effectively degraded lignin, hemicellulose, and other components, thereby promoting fiber reorientation and resulting in a denser microstructure with improved self-bonding capabilities.

Aim: As an emerging yet underexplored innovation in dentistry, self-adhesive flowable composites (SAFCs) represent a promising and enduring advancement in the dental material technology. Our study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength of two SAFCs and the bonding of conventional flowable composite (CFC) to permanent dentin.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six teeth were embedded in acrylic blocks, with the occlusal third removed to expose the underlying dentin.
