This study evaluated the influence of six resin composite coating agents on color stability and surface roughness after toothbrushing abrasion. Discs (Ø6 mm x 2 mm) of nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Z350XT) were prepared for application of coating agents (n=10): control (absence), two surface sealants (PermaSeal and BisCover LV), two adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive/3M Oral Care and Single Bond Universal), and two modeling liquids (Modeling Resin and Composite Wetting Resin). CIELab*, WID, and color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) were analyzed at baseline, after finishing and polishing, after application of coating agents, after coffee staining (simulating 30 days and one year of staining), and after toothbrushing abrasion.

Article Synopsis
- Spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder affecting movement and motor skills, leading to challenges in tasks like brushing teeth; a novel "all-in-one glove" was tested for oral hygiene improvement.
- A randomized controlled trial involving 30 spastic CP patients compared traditional toothbrushes to the glove method, evaluating factors like plaque and bleeding over 6 months.
- Results indicated significant improvements in oral hygiene for both methods, with the glove showing slightly better outcomes, suggesting it enhances dental care in spastic CP individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Effective oral hygiene is essential for preventing dental issues in adolescents, and traditional education methods often don't engage this age group adequately.
- The study tested a new approach called Jigsaw Puzzle-assisted Visual Reinforcement (JPVR) against conventional methods to see which was more effective in improving toothbrushing knowledge and practices.
- Results showed that adolescents who used the JPVR technique had significantly better knowledge, practices, and healthier clinical indicators after three months compared to those who received traditional education or video demonstrations.

Article Synopsis
- An innovative toothbrush was created with a rotatable shank and a flexible design to improve access to all surfaces of the mouth, aimed at reducing plaque and improving gingival health.
- A randomized controlled trial compared this rotatable shank toothbrush with traditional flexible and straight handle toothbrushes to see which was more effective for plaque control and gingival health outcomes.
- Results showed that the rotatable shank toothbrush provided better improvements in plaque removal and gingival health compared to the other types of toothbrushes used in the study.
