Composites have been widely used for anterior as well as posterior restorations due to increased aesthetic demands. Composite restorations placed in patients oral cavity is subjected to masticatory load, pH changes and chemical effect due to mouthwashes, beverages, food etc and the detrimental effects associated with these challenges on the microhardness of composite has to be determined. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two commercially available non-alcoholic mouth rinses on the microhardness of micro-hybrid and nanohybrid composite resins. Forty disc-shaped composite specimens were made from each type of composite materials and were divided into 5 groups with 8 samples each, Group 1= Microhybrid+Chlorhex, Group2=Microhybrid + Hexidine, Group3= Nanohybrid + Chlorhex, Group4= Nanohybrid+ Hexidine, Group 5= Nanohybrid and Micro hybrid + artificial saliva(Control).The samples were immersed in mouthrinses for 24 hrs and microhardness was subsequently measured using a Vicker’s microhardness tester. There was no significant difference in microhardness values of tested composite resins in either mouth rinses when compared to composites immersed in artificial saliva. Non-alcoholic mouth rinses do not affect the microhardness of micro-hybrid and nanohybrid composites.

Bleaching Action

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a bleaching agent on the color of extrinsically pigmented indirect composite resins. Samples of five resins (Adoro, Resilab, Cristobal, Sinfony, Epricord) were manufactured and divided into five groups: red wine, coffee, orange juice, Coca-Cola, and artificial saliva (control). The stained samples were immersed in a 38% hydrogen peroxide solution for 30 min per week, over three weeks. Color readings were performed at the initial state (L0), after 21 days of dye immersion (ΔE1, L1), and after 7 (ΔE2, L2), 14 (ΔE3, L3), and 21 days (ΔE4, L4) of bleach immersion. Data were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α = 0.05). The color alteration was greater in ΔE1, regardless of color solution, indicating extrinsic pigmentation. The Resilab group exhibited greater ΔE1 values than the other resins. The bleaching agent promoted bleaching action on the surfaces of the materials studied, removing the previously impregnated pigments.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to assess the influence of surface texture and etching technique on surface roughness (Ra) and bond strength (BS) to enamel and to determine if a correlation exists between them. Methods and Materials Fifty enamel blocks were either roughened with 600-grit SiC paper or polished with diamond pastes. After establishing ten test groups (n=5), the initial Ra measurements, rough (R) and smooth (S) enamel surfaces were etched according to the following protocols: Group 1(R)/Group 2(S)- 35% phosphoric acid gel (H3PO4) for 15 seconds; Group 3(R)/Group 4(S)- 35% H3PO4 for 60 seconds; Group 5(R)/Group 6(S)- Clearfil SE Bond primer for 20 seconds; Group 7(R)/Group 8(S)- self-etching primer (SEP) for 60 seconds; Group 9(R)/ Group 10(S)- 35% H3PO4 for 15 seconds + SEP for 20 seconds. After treatments, a new Ra measurement was performed and enamel surfaces were bonded with either Single Bond (Group 1 to Group 4) or Clearfil SE Bond (Group 5 to Group 10). Afterwards, specimens were prepared for the microtensile test. Ra values were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the BS values were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (5%). Correlation between BS and Ra values was assessed using the Pearson's test. Results The application of SEP produced the lowest Ra values. No significant difference was detected between the BS values of polished and rough surfaces. No correlation was observed between Ra and BS values. Even though etching enamel with the SEP resulted in a surface with less roughness, similar BS values were observed for both self-etching and etch-and-rinse techniques. Conclusion Within the limits of this study increasing the etching time or combining both etching techniques failed to improve the BS using SEP or etch-and-rinse systems. Clinical Significance Based on the findings of this study, there is no clinical justification for increasing the etching time or for combining the use of a SEP following the use of a 35% H3PO4 etchant to achieve a greater BS to ground enamel.

Aim: To compare the microleakage of Cention N, a subgroup of composite resins with a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) and a composite resin. Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 46 extracted human molars. The teeth were randomly assigned to four groups. Group A: Tetric N-Bond etch-and-rinse adhesive and Tetric N-Ceram nanohybrid composite resin, group B: Cention N without adhesive, group C: Cention N with adhesive, and group D: Fuji II LC RMGI. The teeth were thermocycled between 5°-55°C (×10,000). The teeth were coated with two layers of nail vanish except for 1 mm around the restoration margins, and immersed in 2% methylene blue (37°C, 24 h) before buccolingual sectioning to evaluate dye penetration under a stereomicroscope (×20). The data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests (α=0.05). Results: Type of material and restoration margin had significant effects on the microleakage (p<0.05). Dentin margins showed a higher leakage score in all groups. Cention N and RMGI groups showed significant differences at the enamel margin (p=0.025, p=0.011), and for the latter group the scores were higher. No significant difference was found at the dentin margins between the materials except between Cention N with adhesive and RMGI (p=0.031). Conclusion: Microleakage was evident in all three restorative materials. Cention N groups showed similar microleakage scores to the composite resin and displayed lower microleakage scores compared with RMGI.

ABSTRACT Forty-eight extracted maxillary anterior teeth instrumented with ProTaper system to apical preparations 0.25, 0.40 and 0.60 mm (n = 16 each) were divided into six groups for filling as following: Group 1: Apical preparation 25/100 + gutta-percha/AH Plus sealer, group 2: Apical preparation 25/100 + Resilon/Real Seal, group 3: Apical preparation 40/100 + gutta-percha/AH plus sealer, group 4: Apical preparation 40/100 + Resilon/Real Seal, group 5: Apical preparation 60/100 + gutta-percha/AH plus, group 6: Apical preparation 60/100 + Resilon/Real Seal. All teeth were filled using the warm vertical technique. Horizontal sections at 1, 2 and 3 mm from the apex were observed by SEM under 200 × magnification. Sections were digitally photographed under a stereomicroscope and the images were transferred to a compatible PC for image analysis. The surface area of voids were calculated and compared at all levels; using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Sidak correction and Mann-Whitney U test (p > 0.05). Comparisons within each group (gutta-percha/AH plus and Resilon/Real Seal) showed the presence of voids but there was no significant difference between any level of sectioning for apical preparations of 25 and 40 (p > 0.05). The only difference was in the groups prepared to size 60 and filled with Resilon/ Real Seal which showed significantly more voids than the group filled with gutta-percha/AH plus and especially at the 3 mm level. Conclusion The system Resilon/Real Seal did not achieve better results in terms of sealing ability in the apical third when compared to the conventional gutta-percha/AH plus sealing system.

Background: Composite resins are widely used today to replace lost tooth structure. Bonding between dentin and resin is a complex process that is influenced by several factors; one of which is ambient humidity. During drying after acid etching, it is recommended not to leave the surface of preparation too dry or too wet. If the surface is too dry, collagen will shrink and collapse. As a result, the bonding material cannot penetrate into the cavity between the fibers. If the dentine is too wet, the bonding material will also be difficult to bind with the collagen, either chemically or mechanically. The amount of water around the collagen closely correlates with the moisture created around the dentin surface during the drying process and also whether or not a rubber dam was used during the preparation process. This study is aimed to compare water wet bonding and ethanol wet bonding technique to control humidity. One way of measuring the strength of bonding is to measure shear strength. Purpose: to compare water wet-bonding and ethanol wet-bonding technique.Materials and Methods: 32 samples of bovine teeth incisors were randomly divided into 2 group. Each group consists of sixteen samples. Group 1 is treated with water wet-bonding,group 2 is treated with ethanol wet-bonding. Results: There is significant difference between group 1 and group 2. Conclusion: Shear bond strength of the composite resin bonding on dentin with ethanol wet-bonding technique is higher than the shear bond strength of the composite bonding on dentin with water wet-bonding.

To clarify whether extracellular Ca2+ modulates renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3]-1 alpha-hydroxylase, thyroparathyroidectomized rats were infused with 15 mM CaCl2, 20 mM EGTA, and/or 2.5 U/h parathyroid hormone (PTH), and blood Ca2+, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity were determined. Rats with CaCl2, EGTA, or PTH infusion (group 1) exhibited low blood Ca2+, serum 1,25(OH)2D, and 1 alpha-hydroxylase activities. Infusion of CaCl2 alone (group 2) caused a significant increase in blood Ca2+ and a reduction in serum 1,25(OH)2D and 1 alpha-hydroxylase compared with group 1. Administration of PTH alone (group 3) markedly elevated blood Ca2+, serum 1,25(OH)2D, and 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity. When EGTA was infused along with PTH (group 4), blood Ca2+ was significantly reduced compared with group 3, and serum 1,25(OH)2D and renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase were further elevated. In contrast, when CaCl2 was infused with PTH (group 5), blood Ca2+ was higher than that in group 3, and serum 1,25(OH)2D and 1 alpha-hydroxylase activities were significantly reduced compared with group 3. No significant difference in serum inorganic phosphate or urinary cAMP excretion was observed by CaCl2 or EGTA infusion in both PTH-treated and nontreated rats. These results demonstrate that extracellular Ca2+ modulates the responsiveness of renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase to PTH as well as the base-line activity of the enzyme in the absence of PTH. These effects of extracellular Ca2+ on renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase may serve to offer an efficient way of regulating 1,25(OH)2D production and serum 1,25(OH)2D concentration by altering the responsiveness of 1 alpha-hydroxylase to PTH and possibly other stimulations depending on the demand for Ca2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare the polymerization shrinkage and degree of conversion of new zirconia-reinforced rice husk nanohybrid composite with commercialized microhybrid and nanofilled composites. Materials and Methods Overall, 180 samples were used for polymerization shrinkage (buoyancy and optical methods) and degree of conversion tests in which they were divided into Group 1, nanofilled composite (Filtek-Z350- XT; 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN 55144-1000, USA), Group 2, microhybrid composite (Zmack-Comp), and Group 3, nanohybrid composite (Zr-Hybrid). Polymerization shrinkage test was performed using buoyancy and optical methods. For buoyancy method, samples were weighed in air and water to calculate the shrinkage value, whereas, for optical method, images of nonpolymerized samples were captured under a digital microscope and recaptured again after light-cured to calculate the percentage of shrinkage. Degree of conversion was tested using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectrometer. Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance complemented by post hoc Dunnett’s T3 test for polymerization shrinkage and Tukey’s honestly significant difference test for degree of conversion. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Group 3 demonstrated similar polymerization shrinkage with Group 1, but lower shrinkage (p < 0.05) than Group 2 based on buoyancy method. However, optical method (p < 0.05) showed that Group 3 had the lowest shrinkage, followed by Group 1 and lastly Group 2. Besides, Group 3 showed a significantly higher degree of conversion (p < 0.05) than Group 1 and comparable conversion value with Group 2. Conclusions Zirconia-reinforced rice husk nanohybrid composite showed excellent shrinkage and conversion values, hence can be considered as an alternative to commercially available composite resins.

Purpose This retrospective study aimed to amass large data sets to enable statistical comparisons of communication outcomes for infants receiving cochlear implants (CIs) before 9 months of age compared to groups who received their first CI between 9 months and 3.5 years of age. Method Speech perception scores and experienced clinicians' observations were used to refine the Categories of Auditory Performance Index (CAPI), thus creating its revised version, namely, the CAPI-Revised (CAPI-R). Standardized and criterion-referenced language data were used to create the novel Categories of Linguistic Performance (CLIP). The association between CAPI-R and CLIP data at two time points post implant (at 2 years of device experience and at 5 years of age) was examined in a large unselected cohort stratified for age at first implant: before 9 months (Group 1), between 9 and 12 months (Group 2), between 13 and 18 months (Group 3), between 19 and 24 months (Group 4), between 25 and 30 months (Group 5), between 31 and 36 months (Group 6), and between 37 and 42 months (Group 7). Results CAPI-R medians were 5 at 2 years of device experience, and 6 at 5 years of age. At 2 years of device experience, there was no significant difference in CAPI-R medians for children who received their first CI before 9 months compared to all other age-at-implant groups. At 5 years of age, a significantly better CAPI-R median was demonstrated by Group 1 (CI before 9 months) compared to Groups 4, 5, 6, and 7. CLIP medians were 3 at 2 years of device experience, and at 5 years of age. At 2 years device experience, and at 5 years of age, the Group 1 CLIP medians were significantly better than later age-at-implant groups. Conclusion Median CAPI-R outcomes supported access to CIs before 18 months of age for speech perception, and median CLIP outcomes supported access to CIs before 9 months of age for optimum language development.
