Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEP) addition in different proportions to glass ionomer cement (GIC) on microleakage and microhardness of GIC.
Study Design: The cement was divided into four groups: one using the original composition and three with 10%, 25%, and 50% EEP added to the liquid and then manipulated. For microleakage assessment, sixty primary molars were randomly divided into four groups (n=15). Standard Class II cavities were prepared and then filled with EEP in different proportions added to GICs. Microleakage test was performed using a dye penetration method. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests (α = 0.05). Disc shaped specimens were prepared from the tested GIC to determine Vickers hardness (VHN). The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test (α = 0.05).
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of microleakage (p > 0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the VHN values of groups (p < 0.05). Increasing addition of EEP to GIC statistically significantly increased VHN value of GIC (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The addition of EEP to GIC increased the microhardness of the GIC and did not adversely affect the microleakage. Thus, it might be used during routine dental practice due to its antibacterial properties.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on microhardness and microleakage of composite and glass ionomer cement restorations.
Materials And Methods: Cavities were prepared in 28 extracted teeth and restored according to four regimens (GIC, composite, GIC and SDF conditioned, composite and SDF conditioned). The restored teeth were and autoclaved and then exposed to cariogenic challenge (inoculated with and ) for 30 days.

Background: Teeth with small to moderate cavities can be repaired with enamel resin infiltrants, a form of dental restorative material. In dental materials, it is standard practice to include several filler particles for experimental use in dental resin infiltrates. The resin's BG particles penetrate the lesion and release ions that combine with saliva to provide a mineral-rich environment that can strengthen enamel and heal.

Article Synopsis
- Dental caries is a prevalent childhood disease and fluoride varnishes, particularly nanosilver fluoride (NSF), are used to prevent it due to their effectiveness and safety.* -
- A study compared the microhardness and microleakage of NSF and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish, finding NSF to have higher microhardness (230.72 VMH) and significantly less dye penetration compared to NaF.* -
- Overall, NSF offers a promising, cost-effective alternative to traditional fluoride treatments, demonstrating superior properties that can be easily applied by healthcare professionals.*

Background And Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physico-mechanical, anti-bacterial, and anti-demineralization properties of orthodontic resin composite containing photoactivated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on Streptococcus mutans biofilm around ceramic and metal brackets.
Material And Methods: Following the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination for ZnONPs, shear bond strength (SBS) was tested for composites containing different concentrations of ZnONPs. The chosen concentration was used to evaluate the microleakage, anti-bacterial, and anti-demineralization properties.
