Future Dental Journal

Objectives: to evaluate the signal characteristics of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) of maxillofacial intraosseous lesions and their corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and assess their ability to differentiate between malignant and non-malignant lesions.

Methods: This study included 17 patients (10 males and 7 females) selected from the outpatients’ clinic of Oral Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain-shams University. They were examined by MRI machine; Philips 1.5 Tesla Achieva, Netherlands using DWMRI, T1 and T2 sequences and ADC values were measured.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference between T1 signal distributions among patients with …

Future Dental Journal

ABSTRACT:

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the anti-collagenolytic effect of Green tea, Aloe vera and chlorhexidine on artificial erosion in human dentin using microhardness test and environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). Materials and Methods: For this study, 60 extracted sound human maxillary premolars were subjected to artificial erosion and randomly divided into three equal groups (20 premolars each) according to immersion in the tested anti-collagenolytic agents; group (A₁) Green tea, (A₂) Aloe vera and group (A₃) Chlorhexidine (CHX). The microhardness analysis and (ESEM) photomicrographs were taken for the surface of dentin specimens three …

Fluoride Release Of Conventional Glass Ionomer Modified With Flax Fibers And Ethanolic Extract Of Propolis, Bassma Reda Abdelhafeez, Maha Ahmed Niazy, Essam Abdel Hafez Naguib, Sara Hany Younis

Future Dental Journal

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the fluoride release of conventional glass ionomer (GI) modified with flax fibers and/or ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) with and without thermo-cycling. Materials and Methods: 80 total discs of GI were prepared, 20 discs per group: Group (GI) conventional glass ionomer (control), Group (F) glass ionomer incorporated with 5% flax fibers, Group (P) glass ionomer incorporated with 1% ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP), Group (FP) glass ionomer incorporated with 5% flax fibers and 1% ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP). Fluoride release testing was performed after the first day and after 7 days. Results: …
