Summary: The study aimed to enhance the anti-caries performance of pit and fissure sealants by synthesizing silver nanocomposites and evaluating their properties. The synthesized eggshell/Ag material showed strong antibacterial activity and when combined with sealants, exhibited excellent antibacterial properties without affecting mechanical properties. Furthermore, in vivo testing showed no abnormalities, indicating the potential clinical application of eggshell/Ag in dentistry.

Summary: This study evaluated the antimicrobial effects of various antibacterial agents/compounds in resin-based dental sealants. Compounds like zinc, tin, Selenium, chitosan, chlorhexidine, fluoride, and methyl methacrylate were found to be effective in reducing bacterial growth. Aging time did not significantly affect the antibacterial effect.

Summary: The study compared fluoride release from four different fissure sealants and found that Conseal had the highest fluoride release while the fissure sealant manufactured by Arkona had the lowest fluoride release. Sealants containing fluoride release it not only during polymerization, but also for several days after application, making them effective in preventing tooth decay.

Summary: Pit and fissure sealants are effective in preventing caries in permanent teeth, but their effectiveness in primary teeth is still uncertain. The evidence from this review is limited and of low certainty, highlighting the need for further robust randomized controlled trials to address the gap in knowledge regarding the preventive effect and retention of sealants in primary dentition.

Summary: This study evaluated the antibacterial, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of pit and fissure sealants containing different weight percentages of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The addition of ZnO NPs showed antibacterial activity against S. mutans with no negative effects on the physicochemical and mechanical properties. These sealants can be considered as ideal materials for secondary caries prevention.

Summary: The study developed a novel electrospun silk fibroin nonwoven mat with antibacterial, biomineralization, and biocompatible properties. The NSF-SF effectively promoted apatite precipitation in simulated body fluid, while SDF-SF depicted the deposition of silver nanoparticles. NSF-SF showed high biocompatibility and optimal tensile strength, making it a potential candidate for GTR applications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of different fluoride-containing and bioactive restorative materials, and their effect on the expression of specific biofilm-associated genes and therefore the caries process. The results showed that both fluoride-releasing and bioactive materials exhibited significant inhibitory effects on biofilm growth and downregulated the expression of targeted biofilm-associated genes. These findings have clinical significance in reducing the chances of secondary caries and increasing the lifetime of dental restorations for patients.

Summary: The research developed a smart bioadhesive hydrogel sealant with self-healing and excellent antibacterial activity, showing high effectiveness in wound closure and post-wound-closure care. The hydrogel features autonomous healing, on-demand dissolution, injectability, good biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, multifunctional adhesiveness, and NIR responsiveness. In vivo evaluation demonstrated the great potential of the smart hydrogel in dealing with skin incisions and infected full-thickness skin wounds.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of an antibacterial core-shell AgBr/cationic polymer nanocomposite on the properties of a resin-based pit and fissure sealant. The experimental antibacterial sealants containing AgBr/BHPVP showed better bactericidal activity against Streptococcus mutans compared to commercial sealants, with potential for preventing caries.

Summary: The study found that applying SDF on deep carious lesions did not affect silver penetration when necrotic dentin was left pulpal or removed superficially. However, the extent of silver penetration into the remaining dentin depended on the quantity and characteristics of that dentin.

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.

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.

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.
