Individuals impacted by this illness frequently incur large long-term costs. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate prevalence and treatment need of MIH in school going children.

A Comparative Evaluation of the Shear Bond Strength of Three Different Hybrid Tooth-Colored Restorative Materials to Dentin: An In-Vitro Study.

Introduction: Silver amalgam, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, compomers, light polymerized hybrid composite resin, and hybrid glass ionomer are among the most frequent restorative materials used as cavity-based or post-endodontics. Thus, to meet the needs of both patients and dentists, Cention N reimagines the traditional filling by integrating bulk placement, ion release, and durability into a dual-curing, aesthetically pleasing solution. Hoewver, we do not have enough information from studies comparing this hybrid restorative material's shear bond strengths to dentin to draw any firm conclusions.

Fracture Resistance of Laboratory Composite Versus All-Ceramic Restorations in Class II Inlay Cavity Preparations: An In Vitro Study.

Background: A posterior tooth's occlusal surfaces and the proximal surface can be restored by using an inlay, which is an intra-crown cast reconstruction without affecting the cusps of the tooth. When an inlay is prepared using an indirect approach, issues with traditional filling approaches, including poor morphology of the occlusal aspect or proximal aspect, inadequate resistance to wear, or subpar mechanical qualities of the directly inserted filler substance, are overcome.

Aim: The current study was conducted in order to compare and assess the resistance to fracture of dental materials used in the preparation of inlay restorations indirectly, like composite restorations prepared by laboratories indirectly, inlays formed indirectly of monolithic translucent ceramic derived from zirconia, and inlays formed indirectly of traditional monolithic ceramic derived from zirconia.
