Article Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the cytotoxicity of clinically available dental cements containing resin: conventional adhesive resin cement (ARC), self-adhesive resin cement (SARC), and resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC), focusing on their degree of conversion (DC) and effects on cellular responses.
Methods: The DC of all the groups was measured over two weeks under light-free conditions. Cell viability, morphology, and apoptosis were assessed in gingival fibroblasts, dental pulp stem cells, and macrophage cells after exposure to extracts from specimens with different DC values. Eluate analysis was performed using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Results: The DC increased rapidly within 20 min for ARC and SARC, reaching a plateau at 24 h, while RMGIC showed a slower increase. ARC and SARC exhibited significant cytotoxicity at lower DC levels, with improved cell viability as DC increased. RMGIC displayed minimal cytotoxicity across all DC levels. Analysis revealed unreacted monomers and other substances contributing to cytotoxicity, with apoptotic effects correlating to their concentration in the eluates.
Conclusions: DC significantly influences the cytotoxicity of resin-containing dental cements, with ARC and SARC showing higher cytotoxic effects at lower DC levels compared with RMGIC. Considering DC levels may guide clinicians in minimizing adverse effects when selecting these cements. Dental cements containing resin can release substances that may affect cell viability.

Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) relative to sodium fluoride (NaF) and traditional resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) restorations for the management of root caries in older adults aged 60 and above.
Methods: A Markov model design was chosen and two models were constructed: 1) Clinic-based model - with access to dental facility that allows for placement of traditional restorations, 2) Community-based model - without access to dental facility due to mobility, lack of executive function, or financial barriers. Modelling was done over a 10-year time horizon with a cycle length of one year.

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone) ultrasonic tip in the cleaning around implant-supported restorations and to evaluate the effect of different cement types on the amount of residual cement at the restoration margins.Materials and methods A master model with an implant analogue placed in the upper left first premolar region was used to create 72 cast models and zirconia crowns were fabricated for each model. A total of 72 zirconia crowns were divided into two main groups based on the cleaning method applied after cementation.

Background: Advanced materials and techniques are used to successfully manage the apexification of immature teeth with open apices. The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), bioceramic sealers, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), combined with internal heating and ultrasonic activation, ensures that canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed properly. Magnification devices, such as dental operating microscopes (DOM), provide precise visualization for accurate material placement, while the micro apical placement system ensures void-free MTA delivery.

The most important stage in the surgical treatment of chronic apical periodontitis is the creation of a sealed barrier that prevents the penetration of microorganisms outside the root canal. The choice of the most optimal material for retrograde sealing is a process that requires special attention. Many different types of sealing materials used in apical surgery are presented.
