Summary: The cytotoxicity of a hybrid-glass-based infiltrant and its effect on biofilm attachment, growth, and metabolic activity were assessed and compared to a resin-based infiltrant. The results showed that the hybrid-glass-based infiltrant had minimal impact on cell viability and reduced bacterial attachment compared to the resin-based infiltrant.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the penetration depth of a dental infiltrant into decalcified root cementum tissue and observe the effects of a single and repeated hydrochloric acid etching process on the root cementum tissue. The results showed that the infiltration of the resin could be observed at a depth of approximately 80-120 μm.

Summary: By incorporating DMAEM into a resin infiltrant, white spot lesions can be effectively inhibited and enamel hardness can be improved, without increasing cytotoxicity. In addition, DMAEM has antibacterial effects, reducing biofilm metabolic activity and lactic acid production.

Summary: The study demonstrated that incorporating 10%-30% of NACP did not compromise the biocompatibility and physical properties of the resin infiltrant, and the ICON + 30% NACP group showed significant effects in releasing Ca and P ions. The novel infiltrant has promising potential in inhibiting enamel white spot lesions, protecting enamel, and increasing its hardness.

Summary: The addition of 10% nanohydroxyapatite in an experimental resin infiltrant showed effective mineral recovery on initial caries lesion, but had low color stability. Compared to Icon infiltrant, the experimental infiltrant had different behavior in increment L*. In terms of increment S, both the experimental infiltrant and the nanohydroxyapatite infiltrant had lower mineral loss, suggesting reinforcement on initial caries lesion.

Summary: The addition of PUA to TEGDMA improved mechanical properties and decreased water sorption and solubility. The FD-BG fillers significantly enhanced resistance to demineralisation of enamel samples, while FHA fillers also improved resistance but not significantly. The composite of PUA+TEGDMA+FD-BG/FHA showed potential as an alternative material for enamel infiltration with better mechanical properties and remineralisation potential.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the masking effects of resin infiltration and fluoride treatment on initial caries lesions during fixed orthodontic treatment. The results showed that resin infiltration effectively masked the lesions immediately after treatment and at the last appointment before debonding, with better results than fluoride treatment.

Summary: "This research presents a study on the development of a dental infiltrant for minimally invasive treatment of initial caries of hard dental tissues. The study evaluated the penetration into decalcified root cementum using scanning electron microscope. The experimental preparation with the characteristics of a dental infiltrant showed similar penetration degree compared to a commercial preparation, but the YF3 particles did not penetrate deep into the root cementum due to their particle size."

Summary: In minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) processing, the type, atomization, penetration, and adsorption of lubricating oil are crucial for lubrication quality. Three types of lubricants were tested, with vegetable oil 6000 showing high biodegradability and storage stability but poor oxidation stability. The experimental results showed that vegetable oil 6000 outperformed other oils due to its focused oil drop distribution, high penetration amount, and good wettability in MQL machining.

Summary: Caries is a common chronic noncommunicable disease, and strategies to prevent and intervene early have been emphasized. A systematic review was conducted to update the effectiveness of nonrestorative caries treatment options from 2017 to 2022. The review found that sealants, fluoride gels, varnishes, resin infiltration, and silver diammine fluoride are effective in preventing and arresting caries lesions.

Summary: The study evaluated the penetration of an experimental preparation, with characteristics of a dental infiltrant enriched with an antibacterial component, into decalcified root cement tissues in elderly patients. The experimental preparation showed potential for treating early carious lesions within tooth roots in elderly patients, as it penetrates deep into demineralised tissues. Further research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness.

Summary: For well-defined deep carious lesions, both selective and stepwise carious tissue removals showed similar efficacy over a 24-month period, however, stepwise treatment was associated with significantly higher treatment and opportunity costs.

Summary: In vitro study showed that both Bulk fill composites (BF) and incrementally filled composites (IF) had low risks for secondary caries after selective excavation, with no significant difference in susceptibility to secondary caries between the two materials. Selective excavation did not increase the risk of secondary caries compared to non-selective excavation.

Summary: This study aimed to train deep convolutional neural networks to detect caries lesions on Near-Infrared Light Transillumination (NILT) imagery obtained either in vitro or in vivo and to assess the models' generalizability. The results showed that models trained and tested on in vivo data performed significantly better than those trained and tested on in vitro data. When tested in vitro, the models trained in vivo showed significantly lower accuracy, and similarly, when tested in vivo, models trained in vitro showed significantly lower accuracy.

Summary: Deep learning proves to have satisfactory accuracy in detecting white spot lesions in dental photographs, especially fluorotic lesions. Models trained to detect different types of lesions showed similar performance, with lower sensitivity. False positive detections were mainly attributed to light reflections.

Summary: The study showed that Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) restorations performed better in reducing dentin mineral loss compared to Composite Resin (CR) restorations. The cariostatic effect of GIC mainly relies on fluoride release rather than a direct buffering action, while the lack of buffering by CR did not significantly affect local biofilm pH, indicating a minor role in the development of secondary caries.

Summary: The present study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the certainty of evidence for resin infiltration of proximal carious lesions in primary and permanent teeth. The results showed that resin infiltration can effectively arrest caries lesions in both primary and permanent teeth. However, the certainty of evidence remains unclear due to the high or unclear risk of bias in the included trials.

Summary: In this study, the diagnostic accuracy of radiographic evaluation, visual-tactile assessment, laser-fluorescence, and near-infrared-light transillumination were evaluated for proximal root caries lesions. The results showed that near-infrared-light transillumination was not applicable for detecting proximal root caries, while laser-fluorescence and visual-tactile assessment were more accurate than radiographic evaluation for detecting these lesions.
