Materials and Methods: Twenty extracted human maxillary third molars were reduced to expose flat surface of dentin and divided into two equal groups, which were bonded using following bonding agents: Group 1: Peak universal bond (self-etch with 0.2% chlorhexidine incorporated in it) & Group 2: Seventh generation bonding agent (self-etch without chlorhexidine). Composite cylinders were built using a plastic mould on these prepared dentinal surfaces. Samples were stored in distilled water for 24 hours and tested for shear bond strength with universal testing machine. Shear force was applied perpendicular to the long axis of composite cylinder at adhesive-tooth interface until debonding occurred. The data so obtained were tabulated and analyzed statistically using independent-samples t test. \u0000Results: There is no statistically significant difference between seventh generation bonding agent and Peak universal bond. Conclusion: Use of Peak universal bond (self-etch adhesive with 0.2% CHX incorporated in it) has no adverse effect on immediate resin dentin bond strength and it is comparable with that of seventh generation bonding agent (self-etch adhesive without chlorhexidine), suggesting that antimicrobial may be safely incorporated into the resin monomers contained in the adhesive.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133945192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different modalities of treatment are offered for different dental and oral diseases, but the major drawback of these conventional drug therapies are side effects associated with their use. This has led to the interest in the discovery of novel anti-infective natural compounds. The formulation is based on polyherbal extracts which display no side effects on the oral cavity as well as other body organs. To confirm the performance of the toothpaste formulation, the technology (Oral Sure, Orange Herbs Pvt Ltd, India) was evaluated in vivo on 20 patients (oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, submucous fibrosis and erythroplakia). Valid diagnostic tests were evaluated for diagnosing oral pre-cancerous lesions. Pain control and lesion healing were the two main clinical variables for evaluating improvement of oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus and oral submucous fibrosis. But, in the case of oral submucous fibrosis, changes in mouth opening were also evaluated. The final outcome was always confirmed by clinical examination. Clinical and histopathological examinations were conducted beside the collection of serum and salivary samples taken prior to treatment with the toothpaste formulation. Serum and salivary biomarkers of oral cancer were analyzed. One week after the clinical improvement of disease, clinical and histopathological examinations were repeated on serum and saliva samples. It showed that pain scores and lesion size in oral leukoplakia, submucous fibrosis and lichen planus improved significantly [1]. In the case of submucous fibrosis, mouth opening recovered significantly following twice a day brushing regimen using the formulation [1]. So, this tooth paste might be help in prevention measure of oral health.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132609992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also evaluates the cytotoxicity of the newly developed material, and its ability to be used in the dental field. In this study, four bioactive-functionalized interpenetrating network hydrogels (BIOF-IPN) were prepared by dispersion of different therapeutic agents. The dentin bond strength is tested, the bio-adhesivity, modulus of elasticity and cytotoxicity of the materials were investigated, and the performance of the therapeutic-agents release profile, evaluated. The gels used in this study demonstrated excellent capacity in leading to high internal surface areas with low diffusional resistance. An increase in bond strength of the dentin treated with the BIOF-IPNs compared to the bond strength of the conventionally \u0000bonded teeth was indicated, and a significant increase in the modulus of elasticity observed. BIOF-INPs showed high adhesive force promotes binding to the negative surface of skin or dentin structure. It was found that chitosan alone increased the cell survival rate remarkably (113%) and its presence with naproxen and ibuprofen increased the cell survival rate [naproxen (93%), chitosan/naproxen (96.6%), ibuprofen (76.6%), and chitosan/ibuprofen (89.1%). \u0000The use of BIOF-IPNs has increased the time of the release of therapeutic agents, and protected the active ingredient from any type of free radical damage produced in and around the active site. Present results demonstrate the capability of the BIOF-IPNs to play an important role in the defense mechanism, and in the functional multidimensional restorative repair materials. The findings suggest that the new material would definitely find applications in functional dental composites and regenerative dentistry.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115859228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
