Purpose: To evaluate the effects of bleaching combined with Er:YAG laser or Nd:YAG laser on bond strength and microleakage of resin fillings on enamel surface.

Methods: Sixty-four pieces of enamel specimens prepared from isolated teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=16): control group, simple bleaching group, bleaching combined with Er: YAG laser group and bleaching combined with Nd:YAG laser group. Then the shear bond strength and the depth of microleakage were tested, and the fracture mode of the specimen was observed under microscope.

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between microbiome of supragingival plaque and host blood lipid levels.

Methods: Samples of supragingival plaques from 68 volunteers aged 45-60 years were collected. The total DNA was extracted, and 16S rDNA V3-V4 regions were amplified via PCR.

Article Synopsis
  • - Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) show promise for tissue regeneration, and regulating apoptosis is essential for their use, with Osteomodulin (OMD) identified as a key regulatory protein.
  • - The study investigated how OMD affects the apoptosis of hDPSCs, revealing that increased OMD expression enhances cell viability and protects against apoptosis, while reduced OMD leads to higher apoptosis rates.
  • - OMD functions as a negative modulator of apoptosis through the Akt/GSK-3β/β-Catenin signaling pathway, providing insights for potential applications of hDPSCs in regenerative medicine.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), also known as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic disorders, has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. The associations between some oral resident microbes and MAFLD have been described. However, changes to the oral microbial community in patients with MAFLD remain unknown.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Beyond cold-light tooth bleaching on the formation of main cariogenic bacteria biofilm on enamel surfaces.

Methods: Twenty enamel discs with the size of 4 mm×4 mm×1 mm in size, were made. The enamel discs were divided into 4 groups randomly: cold-light bleaching group, bleaching gel group, cold-light group and control group.
