A Resin Infiltration Technique for Molar Hypomineralization Treatment: A Preliminary Study in a Pediatric Population.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate resin infiltration (RI) technique's effects on the in vivo functional treatment of molar hypomineralization (MH)-affected permanent first molars (PFMs). Fifteen MH-affected PFMs were resin-infiltrated and evaluated for a three-month follow-up (FU). In vivo resin replicas were used for profilometric and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of PFM surfaces; any variation of clinical aspect and dentin hypersensitivity was registered as: T0 equals baseline; T1 equals right after treatment; T2 equals oneweek follow-up; and T3, T4, and T5 equal one-, two-, and three-month FU.

Tuberculosis screening in outpatient healthcare workers: lessons from a high-income, low TB burden country.

Early diagnosis of latent tuberculous infection (LTBI) should be pursued in healthcare workers (HCWs). While HCWs in hospitals are screened for LTBI, HCWs in outpatient settings are usually not. In 2017, in Italy, a tuberculosis (TB) infected paediatrician working in an outpatient vaccination service infected 15 adults and nine children.
