  • 5- Fourteen years performance of two bondings
    Oct 26 2024

    This study investigated the long-term performance of two types of dental bonding agents used to attach composite fillings to teeth: a single-step self-etch bonding agent and a three-step etch-and-rinse bonding agent considered the gold standard. .

  • 4- Effect of a Caries-detecting Solution on the Tensile Bond Strength
    Oct 24 2024
    This study investigates the effects of Caries Detector solution on the tensile bond strength of four different dental bonding systems to healthy bovine dentin. The researchers found that when the solution was thoroughly rinsed, it had no significant negative effect on bond strength. However, if the solution was left on the dentin surface, the bond strength of two out of the four bonding systems was significantly reduced. The study concludes that the presence of a component of Caries Detector, propylene glycol, impacts bond strength, but proper rinsing after application eliminates this effect. The researchers emphasize the importance of thoroughly rinsing Caries Detector in clinical practice to ensure optimal bond strength.

  • 3- Managing Carious Lesions:Consensus
    Oct 22 2024
    This article, written by a group of dental caries experts, aims to standardize terminology used to describe different methods of caries removal. This standardization will help reduce confusion and improve communication between dentists, researchers, and dental students. The article emphasizes the difference between "Dental Caries" (the disease) and "Carious Lesion" (the damage caused by caries). It outlines various methods for managing caries lesions, including atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), no removal, Hall Technique, nonrestorative cavity control, and selective removal. The article highlights the importance of a clear and consistent language to improve research, education, and patient care in the field of dental caries.

  • 2- Resin Infiltration
    Oct 21 2024
    new dental technique called resin infiltration for treating white spots on teeth. Resin infiltration uses a special resin to fill in the pores of enamel, making the white spots less noticeable. The process involves etching the enamel with acid, drying it, and then applying the resin, which is then cured with a light. The technique is considered less invasive than other methods like teeth whitening or bonding, and it offers several benefits, including improved appearance and a higher chance of avoiding future restorations. The text also highlights the potential limitations of the technique, such as incomplete stain removal and the need for more research on its long-term effects.

  • 1- Internal craze line Vs Traditional craze lines
    Oct 20 2024

    Summary

    This article examines two distinct types of cracks in tooth enamel: traditional craze lines and internal craze lines. Traditional craze lines extend from the enamel-dentin junction to the surface of the enamel, while internal craze lines originate at the enamel-dentin junction but terminate within the enamel. The authors discuss the clinical significance of these two types of cracks, highlighting their differences in appearance and staining properties. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing internal craze lines for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, as they may require different approaches than traditional craze lines.
