Clinical Relevance: A prereacted, glass-ionomer filler fluoride-containing resin composite had lower remineralization potential than glass-ionomer cements but was able to inhibit enamel demineralization; thus, it may be an option for restoring dental surfaces for patients at high risk of caries.

Summary: Evidence is lacking on the use of surface prereacted glass-ionomer filler resin composites to inhibit demineralization and that simulate real clinical conditions. The present laboratory study evaluated the potential of such composites to prevent demineralization and quantified fluoride (F) and other ions released from restorative materials after a dynamic pH-cycling regimen applied to the tooth material interface in vitro.

In this work, the effect of varying content of B₂O₃ with respect to SiO₂ on mechanical and bioactivity properties have been evaluated for borosilicate bioactive glasses containing SiO₂, B₂O₃, CaO and P₂O. The bioactive glasses have been synthesized using the sol-gel technique. The synthesized glasses were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Read More

Tissue-engineering has become the best alternative solution for replacing the damaged tissues. However, the cost of scaffold materials is still a big challenge, so the development of cost-effective scaffolds is highly encouraged. In this research, different types of cotton textile-scaffolds as a cellulosic material were developed to be utilized as a substrate for cells proliferation. Read More

Objectives: 45S5 Bioglass is bioactive glass capable of releasing ions that can interact with dental hard tissues. The current study aimed at examining the effectiveness of 45S5 Bioglass in remineralizing enamel white spot lesion (WSL) as well as its effect on the bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to demineralized enamel.

Materials And Methods: WSLs were induced in in the buccal surfaces of 135 human extracted teeth by storage in acid solution pH 4. Read More
