Objectives: To investigate whether the use of chemo-mechanical carious tissue removal (CMCTR) agents is effective for Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART).
Materials And Methods: Searches were conducted in 6 databases for inclusion of clinical studies. Risk of bias was assessed (RoB 2 and ROBINS-I), a meta-analysis was performed with data from time of carious tissue removal (TCTR), and the certainty of evidence was estimated. ART + CMCTR was compared to ART for the treatment of caries lesions in primary teeth (pt) and permanent teeth (PT) of humans, considering acceptability, pain/discomfort, survival and success of restorations (SSR), Oral Health-Related Quality of life (OHRQol), satisfaction, TCTR, total treatment time (TTT), carious tissue removal efficacy and adverse effects.
Results: Of 12 included studies, 4 showed low risk of bias, considering pain, TTT and TCTR outcomes. ART + CMCTR was similar or more accepted than ART for pt, causing similar or less pain/discomfort for both dentitions. There was no difference in SSR, OHRQol for PT, and adverse effects (pt), although greater satisfaction was reported after ART + CMCTR in case of PT. ART + CMCTR was better or as effective as ART in removing carious tissue (pt). TTT for pt was divergent between the groups, but without difference of TCTR for both, pt and PT (MD 0.11 [-1.56, 1.77] p = 0.90, I =93%).
Conclusions: In general, ART + CMCTR is effective, providing greater satisfaction, with no difference in SSR, OHRQol and adverse effects compared to ART, which did not present advantages in relation to pain/discomfort and efficacy in removing carious tissue. The TTT was influenced by the CMCTR agent; however, there was no difference for TCTR in the overall quantitative synthesis with Papacárie DuoGel.
Clinical Relevance: The use of chemo-mechanical agents for carious tissue removal in the ART may benefit patients with reduced pain/discomfort.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate the role of maxillary bone inflammation in the formation of MSCs through the comprehensive assessment of histological and radiological research results and the determination of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANKL) in tissue homogenates, nasal secretions, and blood plasma.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We included 25 patients aged 20 to 65 with maxillary sinus cysts. We analyzed computed tomography and used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with human TNFSF11 (RANKL) in biological samples.

Objective: To evaluate the retention rate and other clinical criteria of four different restorative techniques for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) after 4 years.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, and split-mouth study evaluating four different adhesion strategies in non-carious cervical lesion restorations: adhesive restorative system (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive/Filtek Z350XT) without (SBU) and with selective enamel acid-etching (E-SBU), resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (Vitremer; RMGIC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic as acid pretreatment (E-RMGIC). In total, 200 restorations were placed in 50 patients.

Department of Surgical Sciences, C.I.R. Dental School, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate salivary gland function and oral health status in Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) children, comparing to a control group, and to investigate the possible influence of bisphosphonate (BP) treatment.
Materials And Methods: Patients aged 8-15 years with any OI molecularly confirmed and gender-matched healthy control were consecutively recruited at the Section of Pediatric Dentistry (Dental School-University of Turin). Comprehensive dental examinations were conducted to evaluate carious lesions, plaque and gingival index, stimulated saliva flow rate, pH, and buffer capacity.
Topographic Evaluation of the Remineralizing Potential of Biomimetic Scaffolds on Enamel White Spot Lesions: An In Vitro Study.

Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Objectives: The modern approach to managing noncavitated white spot lesions (WSLs) emphasizes noninvasive strategies and biomimetic remineralization. Biomimetic scaffolds are designed to regenerate dental tissues rather than simply repair them. This study aimed to assess lesion depth, enamel structure, and the elemental composition of artificially induced WSLs after treatment with biomimetic remineralization techniques.

Aim And Background: To find out which management methods are preferred by dentists in the private sector of Casablanca for a deep carious lesion or a pulp exposure during carious tissue removal in adult patients.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was sent to 300 randomly sampled dentists in Casablanca. Only specialists in conservative dentistry and endodontics and general practitioners were included.
