Effect Of Remineralization And Resin Infiltration On Microhardness, Mineral Content And Cervical Leakage Of Restored Demineralized Enamel., Caroline Maged Massieh, Sarah Adel Botros

Dentistry

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of remineralization and resin infiltration on microhardness, mineral content and microleakage in artificially-induced cervical enamel lesions. Materials and Methods: 50 human central incisors were assigned to 5 study groups (n=10) according to different surface intervention: Group 1: Positive Control (sound teeth not subjected to demineralization); Group 2: Negative Control (teeth subjected to demineralization); Group 3: CPP-ACP paste (remineralization of demineralized lesions with CPP-ACP, Tooth Mousse, GC); Group 4: HAp toothpaste (remineralization of demineralized lesions subjected with HAp, Herbadent Remin); Group 5: Resin infiltration (resin infiltration of demineralized lesions with ICON, DMG). Microhardness (MH) was evaluated …

Effect Of Sdf Application Versus Diode Laser Irradiation On Incipient Carious Lesion’S Progression In Primary Molars: A Randomize Clinical Trial, Islam Yehia, Noha Samir Kabil, Basma Gamal

Dentistry

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of two different preventive measures a) Silver diamine (SDF) application, b) Diode laser irradiation, on caries progression of incipient carious occlusal lesions in primary second molars. This clinical trial included two equal study groups of patients, for applying; Group I: SDF application, Group II: Diode laser irradiation, the included second primary molars for intervention were selected with incipient carious lesions graded by International Caries Detection & Assessment System (ICDAS)with scores (0,1,2). The involved molars were followed up for 3, 6, 12 months and ICDAS scores were graded to check for caries progression …

Effect Of Smoking And Finishing/Polishing On Roughness Of Nanohybrid-Composite, Sara Adel Botros, Mohamed Salama Dr., Fatma Makkeyah Ass. Dr., Mohamed Shamel Ass. Prof., Mahmoud Ankily Ass. Prof.

Dentistry

To evaluate effect of conventional cigarette and heated tobacco product smoking and finishing/polishing protocol on surface roughness of a nanohybrid composite. Thirty-six discs (6mm diameter/2mm thickness) fabricated from nanohybrid composite (Palfique LX5, Tokuyama, Japan) were assigned to 6 groups according to: tobacco product (conventional cigarette/LM, Philip Morris International Inc., Egypt; and heated tobacco/Heets, Russet, Philip Morris International Inc., Italy); and finishing/polishing protocol (control /discs cured against Mylar strip; finishing discs/Diamond Master Kit, FGM, Brazil; two-step polishing system/DIACOMP PLUS TWIST, EVE, Germany). Prior to finishing/polishing protocols, all specimens were wet ground with medium grit finishing stone (komet, Germany) as baseline. Following …

Influence Of Smoking And Finishing/Polishing On Composite Color Stability, Mohamed Samy Salama Dr., Sara Adel Botros, Fatma Makkeyah Ass. Dr., Mahmoud Ankily Ass. Prof., Mohamed Shamel Ass. Prof.

Dentistry

To assess the influence of conventional cigarette and heated tobacco product smoking and finishing/polishing systems on color stability of a nanohybrid composite. Thirty-six discs (2mm thickness/6mm diameter) fabricated from nanohybrid composite (Palfique LX5, Tokuyama, Japan) were divided to 6 groups according to: tobacco product (conventional cigarette/LM, Philip Morris International Inc., Egypt; and heated tobacco/Heets, Russet, Philip Morris International Inc., Italy); and finishing/polishing system (control /discs cured against Mylar strip; finishing discs system/Diamond Master Kit, FGM, Brazil; two-step polishing system/DIACOMP PLUS TWIST, EVE, Germany). All specimens were wet ground with medium grit finishing stone (komet, Germany) as baseline before performing finishing …

The Frequency Of Periodontitis In End-Stage Renal Disease On Hemodialysis In A Sample Of Egyptian Population: Multi-Center Clinical Cross-Sectional Study, Asmaa Ras, Enji A. Ahmed, Radwa Hussein, Eman Khalil

Dentistry

Abstract Background: There is a general assumption that periodontal disease is highly prevalent among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. The aim of the study to estimate the frequency of periodontitis in patients on hemodialysis among a sample of the Egyptian population, as well as the correlation between different clinical parameters of periodontal status with serum creatinine and blood urea. This may rule out the bidirectional relation‑ ship between periodontitis and renal failure in patients on hemodialysis. Methods: The study was conducted on 263 hemodialysis patients (165 males and 98 females) at three dialysis cent‑ ers in Benha Governorate, …

Clinical Effectiveness Of High Definition Fluorescence Camera In Detection Of Initial Occlusal Caries, Mohamed Salama, Olfat Hassanein, Omar Shaalan, Asmaa Yassen

Dentistry

Background: Although visual inspection is the preferred route in everyday clinical practise for detecting early caries lesions, novel technologies like light fluorescence-based devices (Vista Proof iX HD smart) have been developed to enhance early caries detection. Material and Methods: Occlusal surface of 45 molar and 49 premolar teeth from 34 adult participants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were examined by two observers using three diagnostic methods. Examination was performed visually using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) followed by Vista Proof. Fissurotomy was applied for histological validation. Intra- and inter-observer agreement were measured for ICDAS-II and light-induced fluorescence …

Oral Conditions In Hepatitis C Virus‐Infected Egyptian Patients: A Case‐Control Study, Asmaa Ras, Eman Khalil

Dentistry

Introduction: One of the serious public health problems nowadays is the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Hepatitis C virus infection morbidity is associated with a diversity of extrahepatic disorders counting the oral cavity. Some of the oral manifestations are oral diseases like lichen planus and xerostomia and side effects of the virus therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the oral health status, of patients with and without virus C in a sample of the Egyptian population.
Methods: Data were collected from the Gastroenterology department at Benha University. The study was designed as a case-control study; …

Effect Of Different Scaling Methods And Materials On The Enamel Surface Topography: An In Vitro Sem Study, Mahmoud Al Ankily, Fatma Makkeyah, Mohamed Shamel, Mahmoud Bakr

Dentistry

Aims and Objectives: Scaling is important for maintenance of gingival and periodontal conditions. These procedures have a harmful effect on the dental hard tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hand and ultrasonic instruments made of stainless and titanium on the surface properties of enamel. Materials and Methods: Forty extracted premolars were used in this in vitro study and were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10). Group I received ultrasonic scaling with stainless steel tip, group II received ultrasonic scaling with titanium tip, group III hand scaling with stainless steel tip, and group …
