Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different finishing and polishing techniques on the surface roughness and color stability of nanocomposites. Methods: Two nanohybrid (Grandio, Aelite Aesthetic Enamel), two nanofill (Filtek Supreme XT Dentin and Translucent), and a microhybrid (Filtek Z250) composites were used. Two hundred and eighty disc-shaped specimens were cured under a mylar strip. Seven specimens of each resin composite were randomly assigned to one of the seven polishing systems. A profilometer was used for assessing surface roughness. Delta E was calculated with a colorimeter at baseline and 48 h after storage in a coffee solution. The results were analysed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test (alpha = 0.05). Regression analysis was used to examine the correlation between surface roughness and color stability (alpha = 0.01). Results: There was no significant difference in R-a values between mylar strips and Sof-Lex polishing discs (p > 0.05). The highest Delta E and R-a values were obtained from Grandio (p < 0.05), and Aelite Aesthetic Enamel had the lowest DE values (p < 0.05). The Enhance system showed the lowest color differences among all the finishing systems. The highest DE values were found in the composite resin groups under mylar strips and finished with diamond burs (p < 0.05). Conclusions: While the Sof-Lex discs provided the lowest surface roughness, the Enhance Polishing system provided the most stain-resistant groups. Grandio presented the highest surface roughness and staining susceptibility after storage in coffee solution. Aelite Aesthetic Enamel, which did not include TEGDMA in its composition, showed the least discoloration. Clinical significance: The composites with smaller filler size did not necessarily show low surface roughness and discoloration. Staining of composite resins was dependent on monomer structure, as well as surface irregularities. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Bacteria debridement efficacy of two sonic root canal irrigant activation systems
Chang Zeng, Pei Hu, Colin P. Egan, Brian E. Bergeron, Franklin Tay, Jingzhi Ma
Summary: The study compared the bacteria debridement efficacy of the first and second generations of sonic root canal irrigant activation systems. The results showed that activation of 2% NaOCl with either EndoActivator or SmartLite Pro EndoActivator significantly reduced the overall intracanal bacterial load compared to syringe-side-vented needle delivery. However, delivering 2% NaOCl for 5 minutes using the syringe-side-vented needle produced better bacteria debridement than either sonic agitation system.

Patients' experience with teledentistry compared to conventional follow-up visits in TMD clinic: A pilot study

Summary: The study compares the experience of patients seen using teledentistry with traditional Orofacial Pain and TMD visits. Results indicated a borderline difference in effectively using teledentistry for follow-ups among different age groups, but no significant differences were found in patients' experience between virtual and conventional visits. This suggests that high-quality dental care services can be provided remotely without adversely affecting patient experience or quality of care.

3D printed dental implants with a porous structure: The in vitro response of osteoblasts, fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and monocytes

Summary: This study characterized the surface topography and evaluated the biological responses of various cells to a novel 3D-printed dental implant. The surface of the implant showed a highly interconnected porous architecture and roughness, leading to good adhesion and growth of human oral osteoblasts, gingival fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and monocytes. These findings suggest that this 3D-printed implant has excellent potential for clinical applications.
