Nd:YAG laser influence on the hybridization quality, employing total-etching or self-etching adhesives: sem analysis

Background: The application of Nd:YAG laser on dentin with the adhesive system non-polymerized can influenced the quality of hybrid layer formed. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess through analysis by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), the Nd:YAG laser influence on the hybridization quality, using conventional Adper Single Bond (SB) or self-etching Clearfil SE Bond-Kuraray (CSEB) adhesives. Methods: Nine bovine incisors were treated on their incisal with SB and with CSEB in their cervical portion. They were divided into 3 groups with 6 specimens in each and treated as follows; G1- adhesive system and polymerization; G2- adhesive system, laser (60mJ/pulse) and polymerization; G3- adhesive system, laser (140mJ/pulse) and polymerization. All samples were restored with composite resin (Filtek Z350-3M). The thickness, the presence of failures (gap/porosity) and tags/microtags in the hybrid layer were analyzed using the SEM. The data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests 5%. Results: The highest average of hybrid layer thickness (1.89±0.15) was observed for G3 and the smallest was observed for G1-CSEB (1.36±0.14). The multiple comparison of ratio test showed that the smallest prevalence of failures was for G3-CSEB and the best performance for the presence of tags/microtags was found for G2-SB. Conclusion: Independent of the adhesive system used, the Nd:YAG laser, according to the parameter applied, had a positive influence on the hybridization quality.

SUMMARY This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the nanohardness of tooth enamel, composite resin, dental adhesive, and enamel hybrid layer exposed to 35% hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching agents and analyze the tooth-restoration interface using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study used 40 crowns of bovine incisors, which were embedded in epoxy resin. A 2 × 2 × 2-mm cavity was prepared in the medial third of the flattened buccal surface of each tooth and restored (two-step etch-and-rinse Adper Single Bond 2 + nanocomposite resin Filtek Z350 XT). The specimens were polished and divided into four groups (n=10), corresponding to each bleaching agent used (TB: Total Blanc Office, pH=7.22–6.33; HPB: Whiteness HP Blue, pH=8.89–8.85; HP: Whiteness HP, pH=6.65–6.04; PO: Pola Office, pH=3.56–3.8), applied in accordance with manufacturer protocols. The nanohardness of the substrates was measured before and immediately after the bleaching procedure and after 7-day storage in artificial saliva with an Ultra-Microhardness Tester (DUH-211S, Shimadzu). Loads used were 100 mN for tooth enamel and composite resin and 10 mN for adhesive and enamel hybrid layer. For SEM analysis, epoxy replicas were prepared through high-precision impressions of the specimens. For nanohardness, the statistical tests two-way analysis of variance and Tukey (p<0.05) revealed that the agent with the lowest pH value (PO) was the only one to decrease the nanohardness of enamel and the enamel hybrid layer immediately after its application; however, after 7-day storage in artificial saliva, the nanohardness levels of these substrates returned to their original values. SEM analysis revealed small gaps between tooth enamel and adhesive after the exposure to all bleaching agents; however, the most evident gap in the tooth-restoration interface was observed immediately after application of agent PO. No bleaching agent used changed the nanohardness of the composite resin and adhesive layer.

Root decay is a complex and multifactorial disease. The aim of this study is to assess in vitro the sealing capacity of common aesthetic materials used to restore root caries as well as the size of the hybrid layer formed by SE-1 step vs 2-step ER adhesive techniques. For this study, 45 extracted teeth were used. After cleaning, near the enamel-cement junction, but at the level of the cementum, cavities were prepared and restored with resin composite, giomer and glass-ionomer cements. The teeth were covered with nail polish leaving uncovered the restoration area and 2mm around it; teeth were kept for 24 h , in 2% methylene blue. To assess the degree of marginal adaptation, SEM analysis was further performed. The association of 2-step ER adhesive system with giomers and resin composite shows the maximum adhesion efficiency by forming a uniform, thick layer and dentinal tubules obliteration compared to SE-1 step adhesive system associated with the same restoration materials.

To assess dry eye symptoms (DES) and quality of sleep in engineering students during the Covid19 pandemic lockdown and also to assess the association between DES and sleep quality. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out among 396 engineering students studying in Saveetha engineering college. The study tool used was a semi-structured google form questionnaire designed for assessing digital device usage, symptoms of dry eye disease and sleep pattern. Responses were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Overall 64.1% attained a score of more than 10, indicating the presence of DES. 70.2% of the study population used digital screens for more than 13 hours. A statistically significant association was found between increased screen time and presence of DES(p<0.05). 64.9% had a score of >18 indicating reduced sleep quality. About 77.1% of the students with DES had reduced sleep quality, and a significant association (p<0.01) was observed between the two. During the Covid19 pandemic lockdown, there appears to be rising prevalence of DES in student population, one of the reasons being increased screen time. The sleep quality was also found to be reduced, and a significant association was found between DES and sleep quality.

Abstract This presentation describes a supportive mindfulness practice for caregivers of older adults based on the principles of Won Buddhism (an integrative, a modernized Buddhism). As the aging population grows, there is a significant increase in recognition of the negative impact of caregiver stress on older adults’ quality of life. The ability for caregivers to deal compassionately with stress is essential, as caring for older adults can awaken feelings about one’s own vulnerability and mortality. The ‘Mindful Gratitude Practice’ offers a way to cope with stress, cultivate self-care, and improve the care of others. Relevant research will be summarized, which shows mindfulness and gratitude practice respectively benefit positive influence in both physical and emotional well-being. Mindful Gratitude Practice as a spiritual approach that fosters caregivers' emotional stability, reduces their stress and improves the relationship between older adults and their caregivers. In this presentation, three processes of Mindful Gratitude Practice will be described: 1. Understanding a mindfulness practice by establishing intention, attention, and attitude, 2. Learning the principles of a gratitude practice and implementation, and 3. Incorporating mindfulness into a gratitude practice. Research results have demonstrated that through this learning process, caregivers have acquired the concept of interconnectedness, experience grateful moments, and a deep feeling of appreciation in their caregiving relationships. The presenter will guide participants in a short experience of Mindfulness Gratitude Practice. Further readings and resources will be provided for those who are interested.
