Effect of Nanostuctured Hydroxyapetite Incorporation into a Resin Composite on Shear Bond Strength to Dentin and Interfacial Micromorphology after Storage in Different Media
Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of incorporation of hydroxyapatite nanorods into a resin composite restorative material and dental adhesive on shear bond strength to dentin and interfacial micromorphology after storage in different media. Materials and Methods: Ninety natural premolars (N=90) were selected for this study and randomly divided into three main groups (n =30) according to the material used (A), where A1: the resin composite restorative material reinforced with hydroxyapatite nanorods. A2: Adhesive resin material with incorporated hydroxyapatite nanorods, while A3: Resin composite (without nano-hydroxyapatite) as control group. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups (n=10) according the storage media (B) either Acid (B1), artificial saliva (B2) or distilled Water (B3).All specimens were thermocycled then stored at room temperature and kept under each of the above mentioned media for 3 hours every day over 30 days (one month). All samples were individually and horizontally mounted on a Universal testing machine loaded to failure at cross head speed of 0.5 mm/ min then Shear bond strength was calculated. The fractured specimens were tested under scanning electron microscope to examine the dentin adhesive interface and mode of failure. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc significance difference tests. Differences were considered significant at P<0.05. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between groups (p ≤0.05). Adhesive resin with incorporated hydroxyapatite nanorods recorded statistically significant mean highershear bond strength (6.33±1.53, 11.35±0.78 and7.97±0.57) after storage in (acid, artificial saliva, distilled water), followed by resin composite incorporates nanorods

The Antibacterial Potentiality of Photo-activated Disinfection Versus a Chemical Disinfection Solution on Carious Dentin
Aim: This study was conducted to assess the effect of different variables on antibacterial potential of photo-activated disinfection versus the effect of a chemical disinfection solution on carious dentin. Material and Methods: Seventy freshly extracted teeth were selected, All soft caries was removed by sterile excavator and specimens were weighted by five digit microbalance to be in range of 6-10 mg, Specimen divided into three groups: Group A1: disinfected with phot-activated disinfection (PAD) and divided into four subgroups(no=10 ) according to power& application time, Subgroup1(P1T1: delivery power was 100mW, application time was 120 sec) Subgroup2 (P1T2: delivery power was 50mW application time was 30 sec) Subgroup3 (P2T1: delivery power was 100mW application time was 120 sec) Subgroup4 (P2T2: delivery power was 50mW,application time was 30 sec).Group A2: disinfected with chemical disinfectant (chlorohexidine scrub 2%).Group A3: disinfected with laser beam only & divided into two subgroups P1T1,P2T2. The specimens were plated &duplicated on blood agar then incubated in anaerobic gas pack jar at 37C for 7 days. Results: A statistically significantdifference was found among PAD, chlorohexidine, and laser groups in the percent decrease in the total bacterial count (P≤ 0.05). The greatest mean percent decrease was recorded in the PAD P1T1 followed by the cholorohexidine group, then the laser P1T1. Conclusion: The combination of toluidine blue O (TBO) and diode laser could be effective in reducing the bacterial viability. Chlorohexidine as chemical disinfectant was equally effective to photo-activated disinfectant with high delivery power and long contact time in reducing the total bacterial count.

Effect of Incorporation of Hydroxyapatite Nanorods on the Rheological Properties, Micro-shear Bond Strength and Degree of Conversion of Two Dental Adhesives
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation ofdifferent concentrations of hydroxyapatite nanorods into two adhesives of two commercialadhesive systems in order to evaluate the effect on rheological properties, microshearbond strength and degree of conversion. Materials and Methods: One hundredtwenty specimens were used in the present study. The specimens were divided into twomain groups (n=60) according to the type of commercial adhesive used AdheSE Bond(I) and Tetric-N Bond Universal (II). Then each group was subdivided into 4 subgroups(n=15) according to the concentration of incorporated HAp nanorods 0( control), 0.2,2, 10wt%HAp nanorods (A, B, C and D, respectively). Each subgroup was furtherdivided into 3 divisions according to the type of test performed (n=5). For rheologicalproperties measurements, a rheometer was used to measure the viscosity and theviscoelastic behavior of the adhesives. For microshear bond strength testing (μSBS),the specimens were tested by using a universal testing machine. The type of failurewas determined by using scanning electron microscope. The degree of conversion wasmeasured using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The data were analyzedusing one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc significancedifference tests. Differences were considered significant at p≤0.05. Two ways analysisof variance ANOVA test was used to study the statistical significance of the interactionbetween variables (material and HAp nanorods concentrations). Results: The viscosityof experimental adhesives increased gradually with increasing the concentrations ofHAp nanorods. In μSBS test, the AdheSE containing 0.2 and 2wt.% HAp nanorods producedsignificantly the highest values. Regarding degree of conversion (DC), Tetric-NBond containing 10wt.% HAp nanorods produced significantly the highest value ofDC. Conclusion: Incorporation of HAp nanorods with low concentration (0.2wt %) inAdheSE Bond had a positive impact on the bond strength. However, HAp nanorods asfillers were not suitable to be incorporated in Tetric-N Bond.

Surgical Templates for Dental Implant Positioning;Current Knowledge and Clinical Perspectives
Dental implants have been used in a variety of different forms for many years.Since the mid‑20th century, there has been an increase in interest in the implant process for the replacement of missing teeth. Branemark was one of the initial pioneers who applied scientifically based research techniques to develop an endosseous implant that forms an immobile connection with bone. The need for a dental implant to completelyaddress multiple physical and biological factors imposes tremendous constraints on the surgical and handling protocol. Metallic dental implants have been successfully used for decades, but they have serious shortcomings related to their bony union and the fact that their mechanical properties do not match those of bone. However, anatomiclimitation and restorative demands encourage the surgeon to gain precision in planning and surgical positioning of dental implants. Ideal placement ofthe implant facilitates the establishment of favorable forces on the implants and the prosthetic component as well as ensures an aesthetic outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to establish a logicalcontinuity between the planned restoration and the surgical phases, it is essential to use a transfer device that for sure increases the predictability of success. The surgical guide template is fabricated by a dental technician after the presurgical restorative appointments that primarily include determination of occlusal scheme and implant angulations.Here, authors genuinely attempted to review the evolution and clinical applicability of surgical templates used in the placement of dental implants.

Effect of Natural Cross-Linkers on Shear Bond Strength to Dentin After Storage in Different Media
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of natural cross linkers (Propolis and Hesperidin) on shear bond strength (SBS) to dentin after storage in different media. Materials and Methods: Ninety extracted molars were used and divided into three main groups according to dentin surface treatment (n=30) where, A1: treated with Propolis, A2: treated with Hesperidin and A3: receive no treatment to serve as a control group. Each group was further subdivided into 3 subgroups (n=10) according to the storage media either stored in Acids (B1) or stored in Artificial saliva (B2) orstored in distilled Water (B3). The shear bond strength (SBS) was determined using a universal testing machine. Results: The dentin specimens treated with Propolis showed significantly highest SBS. Conclusion: Both Propolis and Hesperidin cross linking agents are considered beneficial in improving bonding to dentin, though Propolis was much more effective. Storage media has deteriorating effect on resin-dentin shear bond strength.

Comparison of Root Canal Transportation and Centering Ability Prepared with Two Single Files Rotary Systems using Cone Beam Computed Tomography Scanning (Ex vivo study)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate canal transportation and centering ability of 2 single nickel-titanium rotary instruments, one manufactured by twisting (Twisted File) and the other by grinding (OneShape) using Cone- Beam Computed Tomography scanning (CBCTs).Materials and Methods: Forty mesiobuccalcanals of mandibular molars with an angle of curvature ranging from 25° to 35° and radius <15 mm were divided according to the instrument used in canal preparation into 2 groups (20 samples each): Group I: instrumented with Twisted File (TF) and Group II: instrumented with OneShape (OS). Each group was subdivided into subgroups (SG) A and B according to the technique of root canal preparation (single or modified). Canals were scanned using an i-CAT CBCT scanner before and after preparation to evaluate the change in the angle and radius of root canal curvature as well asthe amount of canal transportation and centering ratio at 1, 3, and 8 mm from the apex.The significance level was set at P≤0.05. Results: At 1mm level, TF instruments used with modified technique produced a statistically significant less canal transportation compared to OS instruments (P ≤ 0.05). While at 8mm level, OS instruments used with single file technique produced a statistically significant less canal transportation andmore centered canal preparation compared to TF instruments (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: TF and OS single files systems used in continuous clockwise rotation are capable of preparing root canals with moderate and sever curvature, with minimal apical transportation. Cervical pre-flaring of the canal has an impact on canal shaping where it enhances the performance of Twisted File instruments. Twisted files with 0.08 tapers could be used for apical preparation without creating severe aberrations.

The Effect of Various Elements Substitution on Properties of Bioactive Glass Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to synthesize and characterize sol-gel derived bioactive glass scaffold and evaluate the effect of substitution of Zirconium (Zr), Strontium (Sr), and Zinc (Zn) on the their bioactivity, biodegradability and mechanical properties. Materials and Methods: Bioactive glass scaffold samples with compositions 80% SiO2-15%CaO and 5% P2O5 and 75 % SiO2-15% CaO - 5% P2O5 and 5% MO (in mol%) (M=Sr, Zr or Zn) were synthesized using the sol–gel combined with foam replication method. The scaffolds were characterized by DTA, XRD, SEM and FTIR spectroscopy. Their mechanical properties were measured and their bioactivity/ biodegradability were evaluated in simulating body fluid (SBF). Results: All the scaffolds showed no distinct difference in phase composition, macroporous structure, percentporosity or pore size distribution. Conclusions: Sr, Zr and Zn substitution decreased the mechanical properties of the bioglass system. Sr and Zr ions enhanced the formation of nano-structured hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) layer, whereas Zn ions diminished the bioactivity. Moreover, Sr ions increased the biodegradability of the bioglass system.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the smear layer removal efficiency of apple vinegar and EDTA when used as final rinse using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and to quantify the calcium content of intraradicular dentin after being treated with apple vinegar or EDTA using energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer (EDX).Materials and methods: Fifty palatal roots of extracted human permanent maxillary molars with completely formed were selected and prepared with Universal Protaper rotary files. After using each file, canals were irrigated with 2 ml of 2.6% NaOCl for 1 minute. The samples were divided into 4 groups according to the final rinse used and the application time: (10 samples each), Group I: 17% EDTA for 1 minute.Group II: Apple vinegar for 1 minute. Group III: 17% EDTA for 3 minutes.Group IV: Apple vinegar for 3 minutes.Group V: control group is divided into: GV(A), Five sampleswhere the root canals were irrigated with sterile saline and GV(B), Five samples were used to assess the calcium content with energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer (EDX), where the root canals will not receive any treatment. Results: Regarding smear layer removal, at coronal and middle thirds there was no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of smear layer produced by the tested groups.At the apical third the lowest mean smear layer score was recorded in specimens treated with apple vinegar for 1 minute (Group II) with a statistical significant difference from specimens treated with 17% EDTA for 1 minute (Group I). Regarding the calcium content, the highest mean value was recorded in specimens treated with apple vinegar for 1 minute (Group II) with statistically significant difference from that recorded in specimens treated with 17% EDTA for 1 minute (Group I) and specimens treated with apple vinegar for 3 minutes (Group IV). Conclusion: Apple vinegar was capable of adequately removing smear layer from intraradicular dentin when used as final rinse.Apple vinegar was more effective in removing smear layer from intraradicular dentin at the apical thirdcompared to 17% EDTA. Apple vinegar was more effective when used for one minute as final rinse in the removal of smear layer without affecting the calcium content of intraradicular dentin compared to 17% EDTA.

The Effect of Zn-doped Adhesive alone or Combined with Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles on the Integrity of the Bonded Resin- Dentin Interface
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the ability of two experimental Zn-doped-adhesive (zinc chloride and zinc oxide nanoparticles) alone or with calcium phosphate nanoparticles to induce therapeutic effect on the bonded resin-dentin interface using two adhesive systems(total etch and self-etch). Material and Method: eighty human premolar dentin surfaces were assigned into four main groups (n=20) according to zinc doping (A1), the universal single bond doped with zinc chloride (ZnCl2), (A2) the universal single bond doped with zinc oxide nanoparticles (NZnO), (A3) the universal single bond doped with zinc chloride +calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP) (A4) the universal single bond (as a control). Each group was further subdivided into tow subgroups according to the adhesive technique either etch and rinse (B1) or self-etch (B2). Prepared samples were stored in distilled water for 24h, and then submitted to microtensile bond strength testing. Two samples from each group were prepared for observation of nanoleakage by the scanning electronmicroscope (SEM). Data was collected and statistically analyzed. Results: In the total etch adhesive technique, the highest mean value was recorded in group(A4 B1), followed by (A2B1) and (A3B1) groups; with the least mean value for the (A1B1) group. Using the self-etch adhesive technique, the highest mean value was recorded in the (A2B2) and (A4B2) groups followed by (A3B2) group with the least mean value for (A1B2) group. Comparing the adhesive techniques, there was statistically significant difference with higher mean value for the etch and rinse adhesive technique except with NZnO group. Conclusion: Addition of zinc to the universal single bond significantly affected the microtensile bond strength except with ZnO nanoparticles group in the self-etch adhesive technique.

The enamel surfaces of lower incisors were treated with 10 and 20%polyacrylic acid, 12% citric acid and 35% phosphoric acid for 20s. Fuji III LC wasapplied to the etched enamel surfaces, and the shear bond strength of each specimenwas measured using an Instron Universal Testing Instrument. The amounts of calciumions dissolved from the treated enamel surfaces were also measured using a polarizedZeeman atomic absorptiometer. Results. In specimens pretreated with distilled water,10% polyacrylic acid, 20% polyacrylic acid, 12% citric acid and 35% phosphoric acid,the mean values of shear bond strength were 5.5, 12.5, 15.2, 15.2 and 15.1 MPa, respectively,and the amounts of Ca2 dissolved from the enamel surfaces were 5.6, 41.4, 88.5,131.6 and 588.3 mg/cm2,respectively. Conclusions. The adhesion of a resin-modifiedglass–ionomer cement to enamel was significantly improved by the use of tooth-conditioningagents. Especially, treatments of an enamel surface with 20% polyacrylic acidresults in good shear both strength and relatively small degree of enamel erosion.

Effect of Denture Cleansers on Flexural Strength, Color Stability and Surface Roughness of Flexible and Microwave cured Acrylic Resin
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of denture cleansers on the flexural strength, color stability and surface roughness of flexible denture base resin as well as micro wave cured denture base resin. Materials and Methods: A total of 144 specimens were fabricated. Seventy two specimens were constructed from each type of resin and were further subdivided into 3 subgroups (n=24) according to their immersion in different types of denture cleansers. Subgroup1: distilled water (control), subgroup 2: 5% sodium hypochlorite and subgroup 3: effervescent alkalinetablets (Corega tabs). The color changes and surface roughness were measured for each subgroup before (baseline) and after immersion in the solutions. The flexural strength was also measured after their immersion. Results: For both groups (flexible denture base resin and microwave cured denture resin groups); control subgroup showed the statisticallysignificant higher flexural strength values, while subgroup treated with Corega Tabs recorded the statistically significant lowest flexural strength values. Regarding the color changes, for both groups (flexible denture base resin and microwave cured denture resin groups); subgroup treated with Corega Tabs recorded statistically significant highest (ΔE) mean values, followed by subgroup treated with sodium hypochlorite then the control subgroup. However, there was a statistically non-significant difference of the Ra values between the tested groups and subgroups. Conclusions: Within thelimitations of the study, it was concluded that the tested denture cleansers had no effect on the surface roughness of flexible and microwave cured acrylic resin, however, significantly influenced their flexural strength. Moreover, denture base polymers are susceptible to color change on immersion in Corega Tabs.

Effect of Balanced Occlusion Verses Lineal occlusion on Maximum Biting Force and Electromyographic Activity
Ten completely edentulous male patients participated in this study. All patients received two implants in the canion region. For each patient two complete dentures were constructed. The artificial teeth of one denture was arranged according to full bilateral balanced occlusion, while in the other denture the teeth were arranged according to lineal occlusion concept. The maximum biting force and electromyographic activity were measured after one month from insertion of each denture. The result of the study found that there are no statistical significant differences between the two occlusal concepts.The study concluded that the lineal occlusion did not affect the value of the maximum biting force and electromyographic activity when compared to the bilateral balanced occlusion.
