Purpose: The material structure and chemical elemental composition of a new self-adhesive composite hybrid were investigated. The bonding performance when applied on flat (FLAT) vs high C-factor class-I cavity-bottom (CAVITY) dentin and in light-cure (LC) vs self-cure (SC) mode was determined.
Materials And Methods: The self-adhesive bulk-fill composite Surefil One (Su-O; Dentsply Sirona) was compared with the resin-modified glass-ionomer Fuji II LC Improved (Fuji2LC; GC) and the ion-releasing alkasite material Cention N (CentionN; Ivoclar Vivadent). The material structure was examined with SEM and TEM, while the chemical elemental composition was analyzed using EDS. The immediate and aged microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of Su-O_LC/SC was compared to that of Fuji2LC applied without any pre-treatment, and to that of CentionN applied following bonding with Adhese Universal (AU) (Ivoclar Vivadent) in self-etch mode (AU/CentionN). All restorative materials were bonded onto FLAT and CAVITY dentin. Statistical analysis was performed with the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test.
Results: EDS analysis revealed that Su-O was richer in C and P than the reference restorative materials. Applied to FLAT dentin, the significantly highest immediate and aged μTBS were recorded for AU/CentionN, which were not significantly different only from Su-O_LC. Applied to CAVITY dentin, the significantly highest immediate μTBS was recorded for AU/CentionN, which did not differ significantly only from Su-O_SC. Su-O_LC bonded to CAVITY dentin suffered from a high incidence of pre-test failures.
Conclusion: While Su-O_LC bonded effectively and durably to FLAT dentin, Su-O_SC bonded more favorably than Su-O_LC in class-I cavities, which was probably related to shrinkage stress variously challenging the respective bond.

Objectives: to evaluate the effect of smear-layer deproteinization using papain gel and SPRG-adhesive on marginal-gap, anti-demineralization of enamel and dentin after chemical pH cycling and assess acid-base resistance zone (ABRZ) characteristics.
Methods: Cylindrical cavities were prepared cervically in thirty-two extracted premolars. Teeth were divided into two pretreatment groups (n=16); deproteinization with papain enzyme gel (Papacarie Due, Brazil) for 60 second, and no-deproteinization.

Background: The goal of this study was to assess the techniques used in earlier conducted clinical investigations on the chemomechanical eradication of dentinal caries, as well as to assess the variances in pain perception, the time required for complete caries excavation, and how microbiological analysis compared before and following caries removal in primary teeth for both Papacarie and Carisolv.
Materials And Methods: An electronic search was conducted utilizing the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. The following categories were included during the assessment process: full text randomized and controlled clinical trials published between January 2000 and December 2021 in the English language only.

Objective: This study evaluated the ability of a novel zinc-releasing glass ionomer cement (GIC), Caredyne Restore (CR), to inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and preserve dentin collagen integrity, compared with a conventional GIC (Fuji IX, FIX) and chlorhexidine (CHX), a widely used MMP inhibitor.
Methods: Demineralized bovine dentin beams were allocated to four groups: deionized water (negative control), CHX (positive control), FIX eluate, and CR eluate. MMP Activity was assessed before and after treatment using a colorimetric assay.

Dentin caries is a multifactorial pathological process characterized by bacterial colonization and biofilm formation that result in concurrent acid-mediated demineralization and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated degradation of the collagenous matrix. While remineralization therapies offer minimal invasiveness, their long-term efficacy is compromised by ongoing collagen degradation and persistent bacterial acid production that counteract remineralization efforts. To address these limitations, we designed PAMAM-G4@EG (PGE) nanoparticles (NPs) using polyamide amine (PAMAM) dendrimers as mineral deposition templates, with antimicrobial peptide G(IIKK)I-NH (G4) grafted onto the external surface groups and epigallocatechin gallate (EG) encapsulated within the internal cavities to provide biofilm disintegration and collagen protection for comprehensive dentin caries intervention.

Objective: This systematic review evaluated the most effective strategy for the topical application of fluoride in arresting active root caries lesions in adults and elderly patients.
Methods: Databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving adults or elderly patients who presented carious lesions on the root surface of permanent teeth and were exposed to any strategy for the topical application of fluoride. The outcome considered was the arrest of root carious lesions.
