To evaluate the surface and microstructural alterations of new used HyFlex EDM prototypes to test their fatigue resistance.Fifteen were for in vitro instrumentation severely curved root canals. Surface characteristics files compared by ESEM analysis equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrophotometry (EDS) optical metallographic imaging. Usage-induced degradation was assessed. Thirty additional 20 standard manufactured CM subjected cyclic tests. Time fracture recorded, results validated...
To compare the phase transformation behaviour, microstructure, nano-hardness and surface chemistry of electro-discharge machined HyFlex EDM instruments with conventionally manufactured CM.New laboratory used were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nano-hardness modulus elasticity also investigated using a maximum load 20 mN minimum 40 significant indentations for each sample. Raman spectroscopy field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) to...
Abstract Purpose of Review Oxygen-ozone therapy (OOT) is increasingly applied due to its multiple therapeutic effects, but it still controversial in the medical community. This review provides a comprehensive overview recent clinical literature on OOT dentistry, exploring efficacy and current issues. Recent Findings has wide range applications including caries management, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery. Overall, results are promising with very limited adverse effects. The...
Abstract Objectives of the study were to investigate biomechanical properties severely compromised premolars restored with composite restorations using finite element analysis (FEA), and in vitro fracture resistance test. A 3-D model an endodontically treated premolar was created Solidworks. Different modelled (direct restoration-DR; endo-crown-EC; post, core, crown-C) two different supporting tissues: periodontal ligament/alveolar bone (B), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Models two-point...
Abstract Background: Restorative dentistry aims to reproduce natural tooth shades through resin composites that must be layered obtain colors, opacities, and translucencies, therefore, clinical success is operator skill dependent. Aims: The purpose of this study evaluate the color shift single-shade composite restorations before after dental bleaching. Materials Methods: Eighty human extracted posterior teeth were restored with four (Omnichroma OM; Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Universal CL;...
The outbreak and diffusion of the novel SARS-CoV2 coronavirus have caused an emergency status in dental education system.An anonymous survey composed 34 questions was delivered to students Master Degree Programme Dentistry Dental Prosthodontics Universities Emilia-Romagna, fifth Italian region most affected by pandemic. psychological impact COVID-19 assessed means Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7). Numerically recoded data were analysed using Analysis Variance (ANOVA), whilst...
Carbodiimide (EDC)-based dentin primers preserve hybrid layer (HL) integrity. However, aging >1 y has not been investigated. The present study examined whether the cross-linking effect of EDC was reflected in bond strength, endogenous enzymatic activity, and chemical profile HL after 5-y artificial saliva. Noncarious human third molars (N = 42) were cut to expose middle/deep coronal treated as follows: group 1, etched with 35% H3PO4, pretreated a 0.3M aqueous primer for 1 min restored XP...
To evaluate the color match of single-shade resin composites before and after bleaching procedures, through instrumental visual analyses.Class V cavities were created on buccal surfaces 80 extracted human molars, restored with 4 (Omnichroma; Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Universal; Essentia Venus Diamond One). A spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V) was used to tooth/resin (T0), 24 h (T1) one week (T2) dental (Opalescence Boost PF 40%). Color variations (ΔE00) calculated statistically analyzed (P <...
At low medically-relevant concentrations, ozone serves as an oxidant with a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity and the ability to promote healing reduce inflammation. Despite providing therapeutic benefits in range diseases, certain adverse effects contraindications treatment must be considered. These are primarily related toxicity from inhalation systemic types administration can avoided by following relevant guidelines recommendations. Ozone therapy has been implemented number fields...
The aim of this study was to assess the cyclic fatigue resistance a single-file system (i.e., Hyflex EDM OneFile), during continuous rotation and reflex dynamic motion with without irrigation. Cyclic tests were conducted on 48 new One files using two different motions, randomly assigned four groups (n = 12) based tested irrigation conditions: novel kinematics ReFlex Dynamic motion, measured as number cycles fracture (NCF) in an artificial zirconium canal 60° angle 5 mm radius curvature at...
Objectives: Endodontic instruments require thorough decontamination and sterilization before use reuse to ensure the safety success of treatments. However, standardized protocols are lacking. This study aimed quantitatively assess effectiveness different cleaning in removing debris from NiTi rotary file surfaces. Methods: Forty-eight new Mtwo (sizes 10/.04, 15/.05, 20/.06, 25/.06) were randomly assigned four groups (n = 12). A set sterile (Group I) served as negative control. After usage for...
