Objective: This study aims to assess and compare the color stability of 3D-printed, computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)-milled, and conventional materials used in interim dental restorations.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four disc-shaped specimens (10 mm diameter, 1.5 mm thickness) were fabricated from four types of interim materials: autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), bis-acryl composite resin, CAD-CAM PMMA resin, and 3D-printed provisional resin. Each group of polished specimens was divided into four subgroups (n = 4) and immersed in different staining solutions (distilled water, cola, coffee, and tea) at 37°C and 100% humidity without light exposure for 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. Color changes were measured using a calibrated clinical spectrophotometer.
Results: The type of material, staining solution, immersion period, and their interactions significantly influenced color stability ( < 0.001). Bis-acryl and 3D-printed materials exhibited the most discoloration, with coffee and tea causing the highest color changes. CAD-CAM-milled and PMMA materials demonstrated superior color stability, particularly in water and cola.
Conclusion: Bis-acryl and 3D-printed materials showed significant and clinically unacceptable color changes, while CAD-CAM-milled and PMMA materials maintained color stability within clinically acceptable limits (ΔE ≈ 3.3). CAD-CAM and PMMA are preferred for interim restorations where color stability is critical.

Objectives: This in vitro study evaluated the effects of simulated toothbrushing on surface roughness, gloss, and color stability of milled and printed resin-based and lithium disilicate materials for permanent dental restorations.
Materials And Methods: Five materials were tested, including CAD/CAM prepolymerized resin blocks, a ceramic material, a resin composite and a newly FDA-cleared 3D-printed resin for permanent crowns. Specimens underwent a controlled brushing protocol simulating 5 years of brushing (50,000 cycles).

Calcium carbide (CaC) is generally used as an artificial ripening agent in the agricultural and food sectors but has been prohibited due to its negative impacts on the environment and human. Therefore, in the present study, a novel and cost-effective detection technique was developed for the detection of CaC using L-cysteine functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this work, a rapid, simple, environment friendly and portable colorimetric nanosensing assay was developed using two different sizes of L-cysteine functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNP and AuNP).

Today, water quality monitoring is crucial due to the health and environmental consequences of water pollution. Recently, various attempts have been made to construct rapid, sensitive, and selective heavy metal ion sensors. Fluorescent sensors are popular owing to their high specificity, sensitivity, and reversibility.

The phosphorylation of nucleic acids mediated by 5'-polynucleotide kinase (PNK) exerts a crucial regulatory function in a wide range of significant cellular activities. Nevertheless, the current approaches for detecting PNK require expensive labeled probes and complex instrumentation, making it impossible to achieve real-time, on-site, and rapid analysis. Here, we take T4 PNK as a model and establish a novel colorimetric strategy for the detection of PNK activity and its inhibition by means of a coupled enzyme-assisted cyclic strand displacement amplification (SDA) and peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based platform.

Introduction: Maxillofacial prostheses used in rehabilitation of patients are fabricated with medical grade silicone and are tinted corresponding to the patients natural skin color. However, exposure to environment and disinfectants can affect the color stability. Due to rising microorganism resistance and fewer adverse effects of chemical agents, phytoextracts appear to be a viable option.
