Purpose: to assess the remineralization capacity of MI varnish and Bifluorid 10 varnish on induced white spot lesions in deciduous enamel, using Scanning Electron Microscope- Energy Dispersive X-ray. Materials and methods: Sixty human caries-free deciduous teeth were collected. The teeth were stored in 0.1% thymol solution. A 4*4*2 window was created on the buccal surface of each tooth using acid-resistant nail varnish. Samples were then divided into 3 groups according to the remineralizing agent used, each group containing 20 teeth. Group I was remineralized with MI varnish, group II was remineralized using Bifluorid 10 varnish, while group III was a …

ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Laser biostimulation on the transverse changes of maxilla and mandible after rapid maxillary expansion in growing patients. Subject and Methods: Twenty growing patients with posterior teeth in crossbite were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Rapid maxillary expansion had been carried out for all patients. In laser group Laser was applies on mid palatal suture during active expansion and during retention. The control group had no laser with their expansion procedures. Pre-treatment and post-treatment Cone beam computed tomographies were used to compare …

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
ABSTRACT:Purpose: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the postoperative success of Calcium Phosphate and formocreosl (FC) materials in pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth. Materials and Method: 75 Primary molars in 25 patients were chosen according to specific criteria. Teeth were devided depending on the pulpotomy material into 3 groups: Group I (Calcium phosphate with physiologic saline cleansing group), Group II (Calcium phosphate with Sodium hypochlorite) and GroupIII (formcresol group). This was followed by clinical follow up after 1, 6 months and a year. In addition, Periapical radiographs were collected post-operatively, 6 and 12 months visits. Results: Despite decreasing with time, the …

Assessment Of The Amount Of Nickel And Chromium Released From Two Types Of Stainless Steel Crowns, Aliaa Aboelnour, Magda El Malt, Eman Mohammed
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: Estimate the release of Nickel and Chromium from two types of commercially available stainless steel crowns in artificial saliva. Materials and Methods: Twenty stainless steel crowns of fixed size (lower left E4) from two manufacturers were immersed in 10 ml of artificial saliva and stored in separate tubes in an incubator at 37°C for 21 days. The crowns were removed from each tube on every seven days, and were placed in other tubes with fresh artificial saliva. Flame Type Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to check for the release of metal ions in the solution inside each tube at …
