Overall perspective of nanotechnology and reinforcement of dental biomaterials by nanoparticles has been reported in the literature. However, the literature regarding the reinforcement of dental biomaterials after incorporating various nanostructures is sparse. The present review addresses current developments of glass ionomer cements (GICs) after incorporating various metallic, polymeric, inorganic and carbon-based nanostructures. In addition, types, applications, and implications of various nanostructures incorporated in GICs are discussed. Most of the attempts by researchers are based on the laboratory-based studies; hence, it warrants long-term clinical trials to aid the development of suitable materials for the load bearing posterior dentition. Nevertheless, a few meaningful conclusions are drawn from this substantial piece of work; they are as follows: (1) most of the nanostructures are likely to enhance the mechanical strength of GICs; (2) certain nanostructures improve the antibacterial activity of GICs against the cariogenic bacteria; (3) clinical translation of these promising outcomes are completely missing, and (4) the nanostructured modified GICs could perform better than their conventional counterparts in the load bearing posterior dentition.

Objective: The goal of this manuscript was to review the existing literature in regards to esthetic options to restore pulpotomized primary molars. Study design: A pubmed literature search has been performed and all relevant studies were assessed. Results: Two laboratory, 3 restrospective and 4 prospective clinical studies were found, reviewed and analyzed. Conclusions: Based on the limited information available, we concluded that tooth colored and bonded restorations showed promising results as alternative materials to replace stainless steel crowns after pulpotomies in primary molars. Hybrid composites tend to perform better than compomers. Resin modified glass ionomer cements demonstrated excellent marginal seal and retention. More long-term follow up studies are necessary until more definitive recommendations can be made.

The purpose of the study was to identify the influence of the amount of fluoride release from glass ionomer cements on survival of bacterial strains responsible for the development of secondary caries. All developed cements had an antibacterial impact on the strains used in the study. The study demonstrated that the cements exhibit greater antibacterial activity againstStreptococcus mutansthanStreptococcus sanguinis. The numbers of bacteria count in cultures on the developed cements were approximately 10 times lower compared to the control culture after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days. The developed cements had initially (1-2 days) greater antibacterial impact against the strains used in the study,which corresponds to the greatest daily amount of fluoride released from the cements. Following the initial period, the antibacterial activity of all the cements remained roughly at the same level.

ABSTRACT Glass-ionomer cements (GICs) are mainstream restorative materials that are bioactive and have a wide range of uses, such as lining, bonding, sealing, luting or restoring a tooth. Although the major characteristics of GICs for the wider applications in dentistry are adhesion to tooth structure, fluoride releasing capacity and tooth-colored restorations, the sensitivity to moisture, inherent opacity, long-term wear and strength are not as adequate as desired. They have undergone remarkable changes in their composition, such as the addition of metallic ions or resin components to their composition, which contributed to improve their physical properties and diversified their use as a restorative material of great clinical applicability. The lightcured polymer reinforced materials appear to have substantial benefits, while retaining the advantages of fluoride release and adhesion. Further research should be directed towards improving the properties, such as strength and esthetics without altering its inherent qualities, such as adhesion and fluoride releasing capabilities.

Precipitation strengthened alloys are a staple material in the gas-turbine industry due to their excellent creep and mechanical strength. HAYNES® 282® alloy was developed to have excellent creep resistance while maintaining good fabricability and thermal stability. However, its long-term oxidation resistance has not been fully established. The purpose of this paper is to present yearlong oxidation data of 282 alloy at 871°C (1600°F) and to rank it with well-known gamma prime strengthened alloys: 263 alloy, R-41 alloy, and Waspaloy alloy. The oxidation resistance of each alloy was ranked based on weight change behavior, metal recession, Cr depletion, and microstructure. It was found that at 871°C, 282 alloy had oxidation resistance similar to 263 alloy but better than Waspaloy alloy.
