Summary: In this study, it was found that the clinical performance of Prime and Bond Elect was influenced by the etch-and-rinse approach, with lower scores observed in the self-etch approach after six months. On the other hand, the clinical performance of Scotchbond Universal Adhesive was not affected by bonding strategy.

Summary: This scoping review evaluates methods of conservative reconstruction of dental enamel lesions caused by abrasions and examines the effect of the diode laser in reducing tooth sensitivity. The cementoenamel junction is more susceptible to substance loss due to decreased enamel thickness, resulting in a weaker bond between the enamel and dentin. Results from 11 clinical trials show that composite resins are effective for restoring non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). In conclusion, composite, in various forms, along with adhesives, is an efficient material for treating NCCLs, and the use of diode laser prior to NCCL restoration may reduce hypersensitivity and affect restoration success.

Summary: The study revealed that the 3-year clinical performance of the highly filled flowable composite was similar to the conventional paste-type composite in non-carious cervical lesions. However, the marginal adaptation performance of the highly filled flowable composite was significantly better than that of the conventional paste-type composite.

Summary: This study evaluated the 24-month clinical performance of Adhese Universal in restoring non-carious cervical lesions using different application modes. Results showed significant differences in marginal coloring, marginal adaptation, and hypersensitivity for self-etch mode, and in marginal coloring, fractures/retention, marginal adaptation, and hypersensitivity for etch-and-rinse mode. The universal adhesive performed better in terms of fractures and retention when applied in self-etch mode.

Summary: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are a type of tooth wear characterized by the loss of dental hard tissues at the enamel-cement junction without caries or dental trauma. This study used a stereomicroscope to examine extracted teeth with NCCLs and identified the morphological aspects of these lesions. The examination revealed scratches, furrows, and cracks in wedge-shaped NCCLs, while saucer-shaped NCCLs appeared smooth. The study highlighted the role of the stereomicroscopic examination in assessing NCCL morphology and early diagnosis, particularly in relation to occlusal overloads and tooth brushing.

Summary: This study compared the survival, restoration quality, and costs of GH and RC for restoring sclerotic noncarious cervical lesions. Results showed that while survival rates were not significantly different, GH was significantly less costly than RC, both initially and in the long term.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of a sonic device on the clinical performance of one-step self-etch adhesive systems in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). The results showed that the retention rate of restorations in the sonic application group was significantly higher than that in the manual application group. Furthermore, the sonic application group had fewer cases of marginal staining and marginal discrepancy. Thus, the use of a sonic device appears to be an effective alternative for improving the clinical behavior of NCCLs.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical behavior of an MDP-free universal adhesive placed in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) with different application strategies. The results showed that the retention rate of the universal adhesive was poor, particularly in the self-etch strategy, after a 36-month follow-up period.

Summary: This study compared the effect of different solvents in universal adhesives (UA) and the application of an extra layer of hydrophobic bonding resin on enamel shear bond strengths (SBS). The results showed that there was no significant difference in enamel SBS among UAs with different solvents. However, after 6 months, the ethanol-based UA with an extra layer of hydrophobic bonding resin showed improved enamel SBS. Therefore, it is recommended to use an extra layer of hydrophobic bonding resin when using universal adhesives.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the agreement among four evaluators and compare the overall scores awarded when assessing dental students' portfolios of endodontic preclinical treatments using an analytic rubric and a numeric rating scale. The results showed that evaluators reached higher levels of agreement when using the analytic rubric, but it negatively affected overall scores.

Summary: This study evaluated the microtensile bond strength, nanoleakage, and degree of conversion of two universal adhesives (SBU and XEN) applied with different adhesive strategies. The results showed that SBU and CSE had higher bond strength and lower nanoleakage than XEN, regardless of the adhesive strategy. Therefore, XEN performed worse than SBU in terms of adhesive properties.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if antimicrobial peptide LL-37, interleukin (IL) 4, 10 and 6, along with gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume and total protein concentration in GCF, could be used as biomarkers for periodontitis severity and prognostic factors in disease management. The results showed that GCF volume was significantly correlated with periodontitis severity and decreased following scaling and root planing (SRP), especially in the Stage III-IV group. LL-37 levels, IL-6 levels, and pain and periodontal clinical parameters were significantly correlated with periodontitis severity. IL-4 and IL-10 levels in the periodontitis groups were significantly lower than the healthy group and barely improved following SRP.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of in-office bleaching with 6% hydrogen peroxide in adolescents using different application tips. The results showed similar bleaching effectiveness and improved aesthetic self-perception regardless of the tip used. However, there was a lower risk of tooth sensitivity when using the tip with a brush.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of adding a hydrophobic bonding resin on the clinical performance of a universal adhesive in non-carious cervical lesions. The results indicated that after 5 years, the addition of the hydrophobic bonding resin did not improve the clinical performance of the adhesive. Higher retention rates were observed when the adhesive was applied in the etch-and-rinse mode.
