Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of botulinum toxin type A injection in the lateral pterygoid muscle on temporomandibular joint clicking versus occlusal splint therapy. Patients & methods: The study enrolled forty patients divided into two equal groups. All patients were selected from the outpatient clinic, complaining of a painful TMJ click with muscle tenderness, associated with ADDR confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. A BTX-A vial was diluted with normal saline to a concentration of 10 U per 0.1 mL for injection in a 1-ml insulin syringe. This was injected into the ipsilateral LP muscle with the guidance of an electromyogram device. Hard occlusal splint fabricated from transparent acrylic resin. Results : There was no statistically significant difference between pain, clicking and MMO in the two groups preoperatively. Group I showed the statistically significantly lowest mean pain scores. The mean MMO after 12 months showed statistically significantly higher mean value compared to pre-operative measurement in the two groups. Group I showed no clicking while Group II showed the highest prevalence of clicking. Conclusion: There was a significant increase in mouth opening from the start of treatment and till the end of the follow up period, concerning pain there is decrease in VAS values, and clicking improved postoperatively after 1 week in the first group while improved after first month in the second group, radiographic evaluation shows no change in MRI. to clinical criteria classifying TMJ disorders but is generally used to denote a mechanical fault in the joint interfering with its smooth movements, such as an abnormal positional relationship of the articular disc to the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess clinically and radiographically osseointegration of immediate loading implant with allograft bone gel. Patient and methods: involved fourteen immediate loading dental implants in 10 male patients. The age of the patients range from 22- 48 years old with average 35 years old.

White spot lesions start at the outermost layer of the teeth, damaging the dental hard tissues through the loss of mineral ions from the hydroxyapatite lattice at the surface. An ideal remineralizing agent should mimic the organization and micro-architecture of natural tooth structure mineral crystals to the greatest extent possible. Aim: S tudy aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of two remineralizing agents on remineralization of initial enamel carious lesions. Furthermore, the impact of both remineralizing agents and one infiltrating resin material on the color of demineralized enamel and their ability to mask white spot lesions was investigated. Subjects and Methods: 50 intact, freshly extracted permanent human anterior central incisors (extracted from diabetic patients) were selected and stored in distilled water at room temperature (22 0 C). Selected teeth were classified into two main groups (Control and Demineralized) according to the type of treatment. Results: Significant differences resulted between treatments for ΔE at p<0.001.

Regrettably, as compared to other restorative materials, it has lower flexural and tensile strength, fracture resistance, and a higher rate of wear, all of which have an implication on its survival rates when used in load bearing areas. Materials and methods: Sixty patients with high caries risk were selected. Class II occlusal slot cavities were prepared in the first permanent molar and restored randomly by two restorations, either; EQUIA ® Forte Fil or Zirconomer ® Improved. Restorations were evaluated according to FDI criteria in terms of functional properties at baseline, after six months and one year. Results : Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between both materials for the tested properties at base line. At six months follow up time, 92% of the EQUIA ® Forte Fil group and 68% of the Zirconomer ® Improved group were clinically successful. Meanwhile, at 12 months follow up time, 88% of the EQUIA ® Forte Fil group and 40% of the Zirconomer ® Improved group were clinically successful with significant difference between them at both six and 12 months.

Methods: 90 extracted sound teeth were selected and their shade was recorded. Teeth were divided according to their shade into three groups (S 1 ,S 2 and S 3 ). In each group, Class V cavities were prepared at 0.5 mm depth (Subgroup D 1 ) for half of the teeth, while cavities in the other half were adjusted at 1.5 mm depth (Subgroup D 2 ).

Methods: 80 specimens obtained from 40 human premolars were divided randomly into 4 equal groups (n=20 per group): (GI=negative control), (GII=positive control) treated by sodium fluoride (NaF500 ppmf), group III treated by combination of sodium fluoride solution (NaF 500 ppmf)+arginine solution (2.5%) and group IV treated by combination of sodium fluoride solution (NaF 500 ppmf)+arginine solution (8%).
