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. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two different disinfection methods one containing the leaf extracts of () and another containing 2% chlorhexidine solution on the color stability of precolored and hand-colored maxillofacial silicones.
Material And Methods: Twenty specimens each of precolored and hand-colored silicone were randomly divided into four groups ( = 10) and cleansed with two different disinfection methods. Disinfection was carried out six times/day for 60 days, simulating once-a-day disinfection for a year. Color evaluation was carried out at day 0 and day 60 using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. Color alterations were calculated by the CIE *** system. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD and -tests ( = 0.05).
Result And Conclusion: In our study, 2% chlorhexidine solution resulted in the higher color change as compared to extract. Precolored silicone showed higher color stability than its hand-colored counterpart.

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).

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.
