Objective. Our study is aimed at preparing an experimental adhesive (EA) and assessing the influence of adding 5-10 wt.% concentrations of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the adhesive's mechanical properties. Methods. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy were employed to investigate the morphology and elemental distribution of the filler nanoparticles. To examine the adhesive properties, microtensile bond strength (μTBS) testing, an investigation of the rheological properties, degree of conversion (DC), and analysis of the interface between the adhesive and dentin were carried out. Results. The SEM micrographs of ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated spherical agglomerates. The EDX plotting confirmed the incidence of Zn and oxygen (O) in the ZnO nanoparticles. The highest μTBS was observed for nonthermocycled (NTC) 5 wt.% ZnO group (32.11 ± 3.60 MPa), followed by the NTC-10 wt.% ZnO group (30.04 ± 3.24 MPa). Most of the failures observed were adhesive in nature. A gradual reduction in the viscosity was observed at higher angular frequencies, and the addition of 5 and 10 wt.% ZnO to the composition of the EA lowered its viscosity. The 5 wt.% ZnO group demonstrated suitable dentin interaction by showing the formation of resin tags, while for the 10 wt.% ZnO group, compromised resin tag formation was detected. DC was significantly higher in the 0% ZnO (EA) group. Conclusion. The reinforcement of the EA with 5 and 10 wt.% concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles produced an improvement in the adhesive's μTBS. However, a reduced viscosity was observed for both nanoparticle-reinforced adhesives, and a negotiated dentin interaction was seen for 10 wt.% ZnO adhesive group. Further research exploring the influence of more filler concentrations on diverse adhesive properties is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GOLDEN ratio ,INCISORS ,ELECTRONIC information resource searching ,TEXT files ,MAXILLA - Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze studies, identify the existence of golden proportion between the perceived widths of the maxillary anterior teeth among the different geographical populations, and evaluate the range of dental proportion that exists regionally. An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. The focused question was, "Does golden proportion exist in natural, aesthetically pleasing smiles among different populations around the world?" The search conducted included studies from January 2000 to September 2020, identifying articles in English with the specific combination of MeSH and other related terms. The title search yielded eight hundred and ninety-eight articles, and seventy-five articles were selected for full-text analysis. However, only fifty-two full-text articles were included in the systematic review. The mean predicted dental ratios were either larger or smaller than the successive widths of maxillary natural anterior teeth. Golden proportions were not found consistently among anterior teeth in different populations observed in the systematic review. The golden proportion is still a useful tool for the reconstruction of lost or damaged anterior tooth widths; however, it is not the only standard for restoring esthetic smiles worldwide, and anterior tooth proportions differ among populations based on their geographic, ethnic, and racial background. Moreover, consideration should also be given to an individual's dentofacial variations in restoring anterior teeth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of brushing with two whitening dentifrices (Colgate Optic White (COW) and Colgate Optic White Charcoal (COC)) on surface gloss, micro-roughness, and micro-hardness of nanostructured hybrid conventional (Z350) and bulk-fill (Tetric N Ceram bulk-fill) polymer composite. In total, 96 disk samples using two nano-hybrid composite polymers (Z350 and Tetric N Ceram Bulk-fill) were prepared. All specimens were exposed to two different dentifrices (COW and COC), resulting in four main subgroups in the study. Specimens were assessed for surface gloss, micro-roughness (Ra), and micro-hardness using standardized methodology. Means and standard deviations of properties compared using paired t-test, one-way and two-way ANOVA, and post hoc test. The presence of dentifrices did not show any significant difference in micro-hardness values of Z350 (p > 0.05), whereas micro-hardness of bulk-fill composite significantly reduced on dentifrices exposure (p ≤ 0.05). Bulk-fill polymer composite showed significant reduction in gloss after dentifrice exposure (p < 0.05), however, Z350 showed no significant loss of gloss due to dentifrices (p > 0.05). A significant increase in Ra was observed for both resin materials after exposure to dentifrices (COC and COW). Conventional resin composite (Z350) showed comparable surface hardness and gloss before and after dentifrice exposure, however, micro-roughness increased significantly due to dentifrice exposure. Bulk-fill resin (Tetric N Ceram) showed significant loss of micro-hardness and gloss and increase in micro-roughness on dentifrice exposure. Conventional nano-hybrid composite polymer showed better durability in resisting loss of surface properties compared to bulk-fill resin polymer in the present experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate marginal fit of yttrium tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP)' copings with different finish line designs fabricated with various digital scanners and milling systems. Methods: Three model plastic teeth were prepared with three finish line designs: Design-1, continuous chamfer; Design-2, chamfer with shallow depression; Design-3, chamfer with deep depression. The "master models" were replicated using elastomeric polyvinyl siloxane impression material and poured in type IV stone generating 90 dies, 30 dies for each design. Dies were scanned and copings were milled utilizing three digital scanners and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems: System-1, InEos Red Scan (Sirona Dental Systems, Germany), Vitablocks® Mark II (VITA, Germany) copings milled by Cerec® inLab (Sirona Dental Systems, Germany); System-2, Cerec® AC Connect with BlueCam (Sirona Dental Systems, Germany), Vitablocks® Mark II (VITA, Germany) copings milled by Cerec® inLab (Sirona Dental Systems, Germany); and System-3, NobleProcera™ Optical Scanner (NobleBiocare™), procera zirconia coping milled by a Noble Procera™ milling machine (NobleBiocare™). Copings were seated on their respective "master models" and secured with uniform force. Eight measurements per coping were performed at pre-established points, with a metallurgical microscope (Zeiss, Germany) connected to a high precision digital video-micrometer (Javelin JV6000, California, USA) at 200 × magnification. Results: The tested systems demonstrated marginal gaps ranging from 12.4 to 26.6 µ m. Results for marginal fit of milled copings fabricated using three systems with different finish line designs differed significantly (p < 0.05). Procera zirconia copings scanned and milled with NobleProcera™ exhibited significantly lower marginal gaps compared to other specimen groups. However, InEos Red Scan/Vitablocks® Mark II/Cerec® inLab showed maximum marginal gaps among the study specimens. Conclusions: CAD-CAM manufactured Y-TZP' copings exhibited marginal gaps ranging from 12.49 to 26.6 µ m. The CAD-CAM fabrication system was a significant factor influencing the marginal misfit of Y-TZP' copings. Margin design exhibited system dependent influence on the marginal misfit. Marginal misfit observed for all systems were within clinically acceptable parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the shear bond strength (SBS) and compressive strength (CS) of Er Cr YSGG laser (ECL) treated, re-bonded lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic in comparison to standard conventional conditioning (hydrofluoric acid (HFA) and silane). Methods: One hundred LD ceramic disks were divided equally for SBS and CS testing. Eighty samples were conventionally surface treated and bonded to resin cement followed by de-bonding of the cement build-up. All de-bonded specimens were divided into four groups based on re-bonding surface treatments (HFA, primer, adhesive, and ECL). Resin cement build-ups were performed in 40 specimens for SBS testing (universal testing machine); however, the remaining 40 specimens were tested for CS. Ten specimens each were used as controls (surface treatment was performed once and no primary resin cement bonding) for SBS and CS assessment. Surface topography was assessed using a scanning electron microscope. Results: The maximum and minimum SBS values were shown by groups: control (33.42 ± 3.28 megapascals (MPa)); and ECL (17.50 ± 2.22 MPa) respectively. The maximum and minimum CSs were displayed by specimens in the ECL group (439.45 ± 70.68 MPa) and the control group (237.28 ± 19.96 MPa), respectively. For ECL specimens, SBS was significantly lower and CS was significantly higher as compared to control specimens. Conclusions: Application of the Er Cr YSGG laser significantly improved the CS of de-bonded ceramic specimens. However, it did not show a positive influence on the bond integrity of re-bonded ceramics in comparison to conventional surface treatment regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim was to compare restorative marginal integrity of ceramic crowns luted with bioactive and resin cements using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) microleakage evaluations and bond strength assessment. Methods: Thirty molar teeth were prepared by sectioning and polishing for dentin exposure for resin cement build-ups. Teeth were randomly divided among three groups of cements: (1) bioactive (ACTIVA); (2) glass ionomer cement (GIC; Ketac Cem); and (3) resin luting agent (Nexus 3). Bonding regime and build-ups (4 mm × 2 mm) were performed using the recommended protocol. For microleakage assessment, 30 premolar teeth were prepared for dentin-bonded crowns using lithium disilicate ceramic and the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technique. Crowns were cemented with standard load, cement amount, and duration using three cements (Group A: bioactive; Group B: GIC; Group C: resin) and photopolymerized. Cemented crowns were evaluated for volumetric infiltration using micro-CT (Skyscan, Bruker 1173- at 86 kV, 93 µA, 620 ms) after immersion in 50% solution of silver nitrate (AgNO
3 ) (24 hours). Shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed by fracture of cement build-ups at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min in a universal testing machine. Results: Mean SBS among bioactive (21.54 ± 3.834 MPa) specimens was significantly higher than that for GIC (14.08 ± 3.25 MPa) specimens (p < 0.01), but they were comparable to resin samples (p > 0.05) (24.73 ± 4.32 MPa). Microleakage was significantly lower in crowns luted with bioactive (0.381 ± 0.134) cement compared to GIC (1.057 ± 0.399 mm3 ) (p < 0.01) and resin (0.734 ± 0.166 mm3 ) (p = 0.014) cemented crowns. The type of luting agent had a significant influence on the microleakage of crowns and bond strength to dentin (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Bioactive cement exhibited less microleakage and comparable SBS to resin luting agents in in vitro conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Knowledge about the influence of fillers in denture base resin is vague. This systematic review aimed to report the reinforcing effect of fillers on the mechanical properties of denture base resin by following PRISMA guidelines. Two electronic databases (Pubmed/Medline & Web of Science) were searched for articles using the keywords: fibers in denture base, fillers in denture base, and reinforcement of denture base. Laboratory studies complying with the inclusion criteria were reviewed according to the set protocol. The established focus question was: "Do reinforcing fillers positively influence the mechanical properties of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) heat polymerized denture base material?" A total of twenty-nine relevant papers qualified for final inclusion. Of these, 24 were determined to have a moderate risk of bias. Micron or nano-sized metal/metal oxides particles and glass fibers were the frequently used reinforcing agents. The trend of evaluating fractural strength (FS) was common. Most of the studies limited the use of reinforcing agents up to 5 wt.%. FS, fracture toughness (FT), and impact strength (IS) tend to increase if the fillers are chemically bonded and well-dispersed in denture base resin. Though fillers with a higher elastic modulus increase the hardness of the reinforced denture base resin, they compromise other mechanical properties. Well-dispersed lower filler loading PMMA denture base resin can enhance the FS, FT, and other related mechanical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
