Molar incisor hypomineralisation: current knowledge and practice

International Dental Journal, EarlyView., 2020
Background Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Adhesion to dentin.

Journal of the California Dental Association, 1993
Significant advances have been made in the development of systems that adhere to dentin, and restorative dentistry is fast approaching the development of a group of materials that will provide a strong and durable bond to dentin. Newer dentin-bonding systems, requiring alteration or complete removal of the smear layer, in general produce stronger bonds,

Radiographic Screening of Wild and Semi‐Wild Cape Ground Squirrels (Geosciurus inauris) for the Presence of Peri‐Apical Masses Associated With Elodont Incisor Teeth

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Peri‐apical masses were absent in both wild and semi‐wild Cape ground squirrels, despite dietary differences and minor incisor trauma. These findings suggest such lesions are rare outside captivity and not induced by low‐fiber diets alone, adding to the literature on environmental and dietary risk factors in elodont tooth pathology.

In Vitro Study on the Effect of a New Bioactive Desensitizer on Dentin Tubule Sealing and Bonding

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2020
Bioactive mineral-based dentin desensitizers that can quickly and effectively seal dentinal tubules and promote dentin mineralization are desired. This in vitro study evaluated a novel nanohydroxyapatite-based desensitizer, Predicta (PBD, Parkell), and ...

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

Deproteinization with Papain enzyme improves the bonding performance of self-etch adhesives to eroded dentin

Scientific Reports
To evaluate the effect of papain enzyme pretreatment on the bonding performance of self-etch adhesives (SEAs) to eroded dentin, assess its proteinizing effect, and examine the ultrastructure of the pretreated eroded dentin surface and resin-dentin ...

Impact of Chelators on FAC Following Interaction With NaOCl: A Focused Evidence Synthesis Based on a Systematic Search

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review following PRISMA guidelines evaluated the effects of endodontic chelators on free available chlorine (FAC) in sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), with emphasis on the influence of concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for In Vitro Studies (QUIN).
