Purpose: This in vitro study investigated the effects of dietary solvents on the microhardness and color stability of CAD/CAM provisional restorations compared to conventional materials.
Methods: Disc-shaped specimens (n=200) were fabricated from self-cured acrylic resin, two 3D-printing resins (FormLabs, NextDent), and a milled material (TelioCAD). Randomization assigned specimens (n=10/group) to immersion solutions: artificial saliva, citric acid, heptane, coffee, and tea. Microhardness and color stability were evaluated. One-way and three-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test analyzed the data.
Results: Dietary solvents significantly reduced the surface microhardness of all tested materials (p<0.05). Unpolished surfaces exhibited greater color changes compared to polished ones (p<0.05) across all materials. Coffee and tea induced the most substantial reductions in hardness and the most significant color alterations (p<0.05), whereas saliva and citric acid had minimal effects.
Conclusion: Milled provisional restorations exhibited superior hardness and color stability. Dietary solvents significantly affected material properties over time, highlighting the importance of material selection for clinical applications.

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro effects of two commonly used commercial herbal toothpastes (Dabur Meswak and Patanjali Dant Kanti) on the colour stability, surface texture, and microhardness of two commonly used aesthetic restorative materials, i.e., nanofilled composite and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (NFC and RMGIC).

Objective: White spot lesions are initial sign of enamel caries that compromise esthetic appearance following orthodontic treatment. Thus, the systematic review was conducted to evaluate the remineralization potential of orthodontic adhesives on early-enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic bracket.
Methods: Search strategy was performed through three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus).
Article Synopsis
- Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an effective, non-invasive treatment for dental caries but causes tooth discoloration, which affects patient acceptance.
- This study investigates how Zinc can help reduce discoloration caused by SDF while preserving the physical properties of dentin, such as hardness and roughness.
- Results show that higher concentrations of Zinc significantly decreased SDF-induced discoloration without adversely affecting dentin properties, suggesting potential for better patient acceptance in cosmetic dental treatments.

Objective: To evaluate a prior application of an experimental desensitizer containing a hydroxyapatite-capsaicin composite (HAp-CAP) in different concentrations on hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion into the pulp chamber, bleaching efficacy (BE) and on physical and chemical alterations of the enamel surface after in-office bleaching.
Materials And Methods: Forty sound premolars were randomized in five groups according to each experimental condition (n = 8): no bleaching (negative control), only bleaching (positive control), 0.1%, 1% and 5% of HAp-CAP.
Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bulk-fill Resin Composites Submitted to Additional Polymerization for Use in Semi-direct Restorations.

Physical and mechanical properties of high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites submitted to additional polymerization for semi-direct use were evaluated. Filtek Z350 XT, Aura Bulk Fill, Beautifil Bulk Restorative, Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative, and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill were submitted to additional polymerization to evaluate sorption, solubility, surface microhardness, surface roughness before and after simulated brushing, color stability after coffee staining, flexural strength, elastic modulus, and modulus of resilience. Filtek Z350 XT and Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative showed higher sorption values, while Aura Bulk Fill showed higher solubility (p<0.
