Bond strength durability of three bioactive restorative materials to silver diamine fluoride treated artificially demineralized dentine.

Background: This study aimed to assess the impact of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment regarding microtensile bond strength of three bioactive restorative materials to artificially induced caries-affected dentine after thermocycling; Alkasite restorative material, Glass hybrid restorative (GHR) and Resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI).

Methods: A total of 60 artificially demineralized human mid-coronal dentine specimens were randomly allocated into two main groups (n = 30 each): a control group and an SDF-treated group (38% SDF). Each group was additionally split into three subgroups (n = 10) regarding the type of restorative material (Alkasite; Cention N, GHR; EQUIA Forte fil, RMGIC; Fuji II LC).

Remineralization and anti-demineralization effect of orthodontic adhesives on enamel surrounding orthodontic brackets: a systematic review of in vitro studies.

Objective: White spot lesions are initial sign of enamel caries that compromise esthetic appearance following orthodontic treatment. Thus, the systematic review was conducted to evaluate the remineralization potential of orthodontic adhesives on early-enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic bracket.

Methods: Search strategy was performed through three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus).

Bond strength of demineralized dentin after synthesized collagen/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite application.

Treatment the deeper and remineralizable carious zone (DRCZ) in dentin with various remineralizing methods, either with classic top-down or biomimetic bottom-up remineralization approaches, has remained a constant main issue to enhance dentin substrate bonding quality. The concern of remineralizing the remaining, partially demineralized and physiologically re-mineralizable collagen fibrils was the optimum target. However, applying already mineralized type I collage fibrils which have the ability to chemically cross-link with remaining collagen and minerals did not gain much interest.
