Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various restorative techniques on the fracture resistance of pulpotomized premolars with mesioocclusodistal (MOD) cavities treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Materials and Methods. One hundred and eight sound extracted maxillary premolars were randomly assigned to nine experimental groups (n = 12). The teeth in group 1 did not receive any preparation. Class II MOD cavities were prepared in the other experimental groups. In groups 2, 4, 6, and 8, tooth-colored MTA was used for pulpotomy. In groups 3, 5, 7, and 9, CEM cement was used for pulpotomy. Groups 2 and 3 were left unrestored. Groups 4 and 5 were restored with amalgam. Groups 6 and 7 were restored with a conventional composite resin, and groups 8 and 9 were restored with bulk-fill giomers. Fracture resistance was measured, the fracture pattern of each specimen was assessed, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results. The fracture resistance of group 1 was significantly higher than those of the other groups ( p < 0.05 ). The fracture resistance of group 2 (MTA + amalgam) was statistically lower than those of all experimental groups ( p values < 0.05) except groups 3, 4, and 5 ( p values > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the groups restored with amalgam, conventional composite resin, and bulk-fill giomer (groups 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) ( p values < 0.05). The highest rate of mode 1 fracture (restorable fracture) was observed in group 1 followed by groups 8 and 9. Conclusion. No significant differences were found among the fracture resistances of the restored teeth using various restorative techniques. Bulk-fill giomers followed by conventional composite resin were better able to prevent unfavorable fractures compared to amalgam. Therefore, they seem to be more reliable for the restoration of pulpotomized teeth with MOD cavities.

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance of teeth with immature apices treated with coronal placement of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), bioaggregate (BA), and Biodentine. Materials and Methods: Forty-one freshly extracted, single-rooted human premolar teeth were used for the study. At first, the root length was standardized to 9 mm. The crown-down technique was used for the preparation of the root canals using the rotary ProTaper system (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) of F3 (30). Peeso reamer no. 6 was stepped out from the apex to simulate an incompletely formed root. The prepared roots were randomly assigned to one control (n = 5) and three experimental (n = 12) groups, as described below. Group 1: White MTA (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) was prepared as per the manufacturer's instructions and compacted into the root canal using MAP system (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and condensed by pluggers (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil). Group 2: The canals were filled with DiaRoot-BA (DiaDent Group International, Canada). Group 3: Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fosses, France) solution was mixed with the capsule powder and condensed using pluggers. Instron was used to determine the maximum horizontal load to fracture the tooth, placing the tip 3 mm incisal to the cementoenamel junction. Mean values of the fracture strength were compared by ANOVA followed by a post hoc test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: No significant difference was observed among the MTA, BA, and biodentine experimental groups. Conclusion: All the three materials tested, may be used as effective strengthening agents for immature teeth.

Polymerization shrinkage can make a gap formation between dental cavity wall and composite resin restorative materials. In radiographic film, the gap appears radiolucent, looks like secondary caries, or bonding material.The purpose of this study was to determineradiographic difference of class II restoration usingpackable, flowable, and regular paste compositeresin. The samples were12 free caries maxillary premolarwhich were extracted from orthodontic patient. Class II cavities were prepared as follows buco-palatal distance  3 mm, mesiodistal 2 mm, depth 3mm. Samples were divided into four groups. Group 1 were restored with regular pastecomposite resin, group 2 with  packable compositeresin, group 3with flowable and regular pastecomposite resin, while group 4 were restored with flowable and packable composite resin. After 24 hours, the sampleswere exposed by dental x-ray.The radiolucent areabetween dental cavity wall and resin composite restoration were 0.21-0.36mm. Data wereanalyzed using one way ANOVA, followed by LSD test showed that the distance formed in group 1, 3 and 4 were not different significantly, butdifferentsignificantlywith group 2. It can be concluded that there are radiographic difference of class II restoration using packable, flowable and regular pastecomposite resin.

SUMMARY Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the resistance and patterns of fracture of endodontically treated maxillary premolars (ETPs) restored with different methods. Methods and Materials: Mesio-occluso-distal cavities were prepared in 50 extracted caries-free human maxillary premolars after endodontic treatment. The teeth were divided into five groups (n=10), according to the restorative method. G1: intact teeth (control group); G2: conventional composite resin; G3: conventional composite resin with a horizontal glass fiber post inserted between buccal and palatal walls; G4: bulk-fill flowable and bulk-fill restorative composites; and G5: ceramic inlay. For direct restorations, Filtek Z350 XT, Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative, and Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative were used. Indirect restorations were fabricated from a pressable lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e-max Press) and adhesively cemented (RelyX Ultimate). All specimens were subjected to thermocycling (5°C to 55°C/5000 cycles) and additionally submitted to cyclic loading 50,000 times in an Electro-Mechanical Fatigue Machine. Next, the specimens were subjected to a compressive load at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until fracture. The fractured specimens were analyzed to determine the fracture pattern using a stereomicroscope, and then representative specimens were carbon coated to allow for the studying of the fracture surface under scanning electron microscopy. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare fracture resistance of the groups. The results of fracture patterns were submitted to the Fisher exact test (α=0.05). Results: All specimens survived fatigue. Mean (standard deviation) failure loads (N) for groups were as follows: G1: 949.6 (331.5); G2: 999.6 (352.5); G3: 934.5 (233.6); G4: 771.0 (147.4); and G5: 856.7 (237.5). The lowest fracture resistance was recorded for G4, and the highest ones were recorded for G2, followed by that of G1 and G3. One-way ANOVA did not reveal significant differences between groups (p&gt;0.05). The highest repairable fracture rates were observed in G1 (100%) and G3 (80%). Conclusions: ETPs restored with conventional composite resin with or without horizontal fiber post, bulk-fill composite, and ceramic inlay showed fracture resistance similar to that of sound teeth. Conventional composite resin restorations exhibited the highest prevalence of unrepairable fractures, and the insertion of a horizontal fiber post decreased this prevalence. Intact teeth showed 100% of repairable fractures. It is difficult to extrapolate the results directly to a clinical situation due to the limitations of this study.

SUMMARY Objectives Microleakage of composite restorations at the cervical margin placed apically to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is still a concern. This study evaluated the effect of simultaneous bonding application on cervical sealing of nano-ionomer/silorane- or methacrylate-based composite open sandwich Class II restorations in the modified technique compared with that of conventional bonding. Methods and Materials In 60 sound maxillary premolars, two standardized Class II cavities were prepared with cervical margins 1 mm below the CEJ. The teeth were randomly divided into six groups of 10 teeth each. In the first three groups (groups 1-3), Clearfil SE Bond and Clearfil APX (Kuraray) were used for restoration in the total bonding technique (group 1), conventional open sandwich technique associated with a nano-ionomer (Ketac N100, 3M ESPE) (group 2), and modified open sandwich technique with simultaneous bonding application for both nano-ionomer and composite (group 3). In the second three groups (groups 4-6), Silorane Adhesive and Filtek Silorane composite (3M ESPE) were used in the same manner as in the first three groups, respectively. Results The simultaneous bonding application in the modified sandwich restorations (with SE Bond or Silorane Adhesive) resulted in a significant reduction of the cervical microleakage compared with that of the conventional bonding (p&lt;0.05). However, microleakage of the modified technique was similar to that of the total bonding (with SE Bond or Silorane Adhesive) (p&gt;0.05), both showing good marginal seal.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three methods of composite fiber placement along with siloranebased composite resin on cuspal deflection and fracture strength of root-filled maxillary premolars. Materials and methods Mesio-occluso-distal cavities were prepared in 60 extracted premolars subsequent to endodontic treatment. The remaining thickness of buccal and lingual walls at height of contour was 2.5 ± 0.2 mm and the gingival cavosurface margin was 1.5 mm coronal to cementoenamel junction. Subsequent to measurement of primary intercuspal distances, the teeth were randomly divided into four groups. In group 1, the cavities were only filled with Filtek Silorane composite resin. In the other three groups, preimpregnated glass fibers were placed at gingival, middle and occlusal thirds respectively, and the cavities were restored similar to the group 1. Cuspal deflection was recorded in micrometer using a stereomicroscope. Fracture strength of the samples was measured in Newton subsequent to thermocycling. Data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results The highest cuspal deflection was recorded in the group 1, and the difference between group 1 and other groups was significant (p < 0.001). Fracture resistance in group 4 was significantly higher than that in other groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion In restoring root-filled premolars with siloranebased composite resins, cuspal deflection decreased with the use of preimpregnated glass fibers. Clinical significance Using preimpregnated glass fibers along with silorane-based composite resin may lead to better results in cuspal deflection and fracture resistance of endodonticallytreated maxillary premolars.

Background: Class II restoration with zirconia inlay is concerned by numerous studies about the luting coupling between zirconia inlay and teeth. The present study was performed to evaluate the microleakage of Class II zirconia inlayusing two different luting agents and compare to direct restoration using bulk fill composite. Aims: To evaluate the microleakage of Class II restorations using three different techniques. Materials and methods: The study was performed in laboratory with three groups. Each of thirty extracted human teeth was prepared a class II cavity with the same dimensions, then these teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups restored by 3 different approaches. Group 1: zirconia inlay cemented with self-etch resin cement (Multilink N); Group 2: zirconia inlay cemented with resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji Plus); Group 3: direct composite restoration using bulk fill composite(Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill). All restorations were subjected to thermal cycling (100 cycles 50C – 55 0C), then immersed to 2% methylene blue solution for 24 hours. The microleakage determined by the extent of dye penetration along the gingival wall was assessed using two methods: quantitative and semi-quantitative method. Results: Among three types of restorations, group 1 demonstrated the significantly lower rate of leakage compared to the others, while group 2 and 3 showed no significant difference. Conclusion: Zirconia inlay restoration cemented with self-etch resin cement has least microleakage degree when compare to class II zirconia inlay restoration cemented with resin-modified glass ionomer cement and direct composite restoration using bulk fill composite. Key words: inlay, zirconia ceramic, class II restoration, microleakage.

AimsMyeloid neoplasms occur in the setting of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)/CLL-like disease. The underlying pathogenesis has not been elucidated.MethodsRetrospectively analysed 66 cases of myeloid neoplasms in patients with CLL/CLL-like disease.ResultsOf these, 33 patients (group 1) had received treatment for CLL/CLL-like disease, while the other 33 patients (group 2) had either concurrent diagnoses or untreated CLL/CLL-like disease before identifying myeloid neoplasms. The two categories had distinct features in clinical presentation, spectrum of myeloid neoplasm, morphology, cytogenetic profile and clinical outcome. Compared with group 2, group 1 demonstrated a younger age at the diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm (median, 65 vs 71 years), a higher fraction of myelodysplastic syndrome (64% vs 36%; OR: 3.1; p<0.05), a higher rate of adverse unbalanced cytogenetic abnormalities, including complex changes, −5/5q- and/or −7/7q- (83% vs 28%; OR: 13.1; p<0.001) and a shorter overall survival (median, 12 vs 44 months; p<0.05).ConclusionsMyeloid neoplasm in the setting of CLL/CLL-like disease can be divided into two categories, one with prior treatment for CLL/CLL-like disease and the other without. CLL-type treatment may accelerate myeloid leukaemogenesis. The risk is estimated to be 13-fold higher in patients with treatment than those without. The causative agent could be attributed to fludarabine in combination with alkylators, based on the latency of myeloid leukaemogenesis and the cytogenetic profile.

Aim. To compare the microleakage in class II composite restorations without a liner/with resin modified glass ionomer and flowable composite liner.Method. Forty standardized MO cavities were prepared on human permanent mandibular molars extracted for periodontal reasons and then divided into 4 groups of ten specimens. The cavity preparations were etched, rinsed, blot dried, and light cured and Adper Single Bond 2 is applied. Group 1 is restored with Filtek P60 packable composite in 2 mm oblique increments. Group 2 is precure group where 1 mm Filtek Z350 flowable liner is applied and light cured for 20 sec. Group 3 is the same as Group 2, but the liner was cocured with packable composite. In Group 4, 1 mm RMGIC, Fuji Lining LC is applied and cured for 20 sec. All the teeth were restored as in Group 1. The specimens were coated with nail varnish leaving 1 mm around the restoration, subjected to thermocycling, basic fuchsin dye penetration, sectioned mesiodistally, and observed under a stereomicroscope.Results. The mean leakage scores of the individual study groups were Group 1 (33.40), Group 2 (7.85), Group 3 (16.40), and Group 4 (24.35). Group 1 without a liner showed maximum leakage. Flowable composite liner precured was the best.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated in vitro the shear bond strength of experimentally fractured human tooth fragments reattached with different adhesive materials and retentive techniques.METHODS: Forty-eight sound mandibular incisors were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=8). Their incisal edges were cut off in 5 groups, representing an enamel-dentin fracture. Intact teeth were used as control (Group 1). The fragment edges were reattached with adhesive system (Scotch Bond Multipurpose – 3M ESPE) (Group 2), adhesive system and composite resin (ICE – SDI) (Group 3), adhesive system and composite resin with circumferential bevel (Group 4), adhesive system and composite resin with internal dentin groove (Group 5), and adhesive system and composite resin with the circumferential bevel and internal dentin groove (Group 6). Shear bond strength was determined in a universal testing machine. Fracture modes were identified by light microscope. Kruskal-Wallis was used to analysis resistance to fracture and fracture patterns.RESULTS: The results showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) among groups. The intact teeth (Group 1) showed higher fracture resistance than the other groups. Groups 2 and 6 did not differ and were statistically superior to other techniques. Group 4 presented statistically higher than in Group 5, which in turn was more resistant than Group 3.CONCLUSIONS: None of the fragment reattachment techniques was able to achieve the strength of sound teeth. Fragments reattached only with adhesive system or with adhesive system and composite resin with the circumferential bevel and internal dentin groove showed the best performance for resistance to fracture.

Background: Due to advancement in phacoemulsification techniques, there has been growing shift from peribulbar anesthesia (PA) to topical anesthesia (TA). But dilemma exists regarding the supremacy of one over the other as both types have certain advantages and disadvantages.Methods: A prospective study was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups. Group-1 underwent PA while group-2 underwent TA. Satisfaction score of patients and surgeons and incidence of complications were noted. The data was analyzed.Results: Lowest patients’ satisfaction score among group-1 vs. group-2 was 160 (87.9%) vs.82 (45.81%). Highest surgeons satisfaction score among group-1 and group-2 was 74(40.65%) vs. 2(1.1%). Intraoperative complications among the group-1 and group-2 were 35 (19.2%) vs. 86(48.0%).Conclusions: While TA provides initial painless phase of surgical procedure, PA results in lesser intraoperative complications resulting in better visual outcome.
