Materials and Methods: Through a comprehensive literature review, we designed the primary questionnaire in English and then translated it into Persian. The questionnaire consisted of six sections covering background information, knowledge of emergency dental treatments, transmission routes of disease, required preparation, source of information, and attitude. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, the researchers obtained expert opinions using the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave). They distributed online versions of the questionnaire to a total of 60 English-speaking adults in Nigeria and the United States, and 60 Persian-speaking adults in Iran to measure its reliability using Cronbach's alpha. Results: I-CVI score, S-CVI/Ave, and Cronbach's alpha of the questionnaire ranged from 0.29-1, 0.62-0.99, and 41.1-87.6%, respectively. After reviewing the scores and comments received on each item, taking into account the opinions of the research team, a decision was made to remove, merge, modify, or retain certain items. This led to a final version of the questionnaire consisting of nine questions in the background section and 46 items in the remaining five sections. Conclusion: Overall, the developed questionnaire appears to be valid and reliable for assessing the knowledge and attitude of dental patients toward COVID-19 in dental settings. It can potentially serve as an appropriate scale in future infectious disease epidemics across diverse populations.","PeriodicalId":12445,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Dentistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11792724/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to compare canal transportation at various cross-sections using the Neoniti and Wave One Gold rotary systems, both applied with reciprocal motion. Materials and Methods: Forty acrylic S-shape canal simulator endo-blocks were used in this study. Two preparation protocols were applied: (1) Proglider (#16/0.02) followed by Wave One Gold (#20/0.07) and (2) GPS followed by A1#20 (reciprocal motion). The canals were dyed before and after preparation, and images were captured from both stages using blocks. These images were then superimposed using Adobe Photoshop to assess differences, and measurements were taken with Digimizer image analysis software. The data was analyzed using an independent samples T-test, with statistical significance set at P<0.05. Results: Transportation was significantly greater in the middle third of the canal simulator in the group that was treated with Proglider (#16/0.02) followed by Wave One Gold (#20/0.07). However, no significant differences were observed in the coronal or apical thirds. Conclusion: While the manufacturer of Neoniti recommends using this system with continuous rotational motion, it can also be effectively utilized with reciprocal motion, yielding satisfactory results while respecting the canal anatomy.","PeriodicalId":12445,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Dentistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11792736/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: In this laboratory investigation, simulation samples of screw-retained restorations were filled with flowable composite resin (group F), opaque and flowable composite resin (group O) and porcelain plug (group P) at baseline (T0). The samples were subjected to thermocycling twice (T1 and T3), undergoing 1000 cycles in coffee, orange juice, and distilled water, followed by washing performed after each thermocycling (T2 and T4). Colorimetric analysis and surface roughness measurements were conducted, and the data were statistically analyzed using. two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), ,Tukey post hoc, two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and paired-t test. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The type of filling material had a significant effect on the color difference observed between the restoration and filling materials (P<0.05). Notably, samples from group P exhibited a more pronounced color difference at T4, despite showing a lower color difference at T0, when compared to group O. Conclusion: The use of porcelain plugs did not provide a notable advantage over the combination of flowable and opaque composite resins, particularly given the difficulties in fabricating and positioning porcelain plugs within the access cavity. Therefore, it is recommended to utilize flowable composite resins in conjunction with an opaque composite resin layer beneath, to effectively conceal any dark shades from the underlying metal.","PeriodicalId":12445,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Dentistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11792726/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 50 patients with DS types I and II assigned to two groups (N=25). In the first group, G. lucidum extract was administered in the form of 5% gel while 1% clotrimazole gel was prescribed for the second group. Pain intensity according to the visual analog scale (VAS), and the percentage of DS recovery based on the Budtz-Jorgenson index were evaluated and recorded after 7 and 14 days. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, independent samples t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, and logistic regression (alpha=0.05). Results: The percentage of complete recovery on day 7 in the G. lucidum group (28%) was higher than that in the clotrimazole group (16%) but not significantly (P=0.592). Not wearing dentures overnight significantly increased the odds of recovery by 6.56 times, while the odds of recovery decreased by 0.03 times in DS type II, as compared to DS type I (P= 0.009). Conclusion: No significant difference existed between the antifungal efficacy of G. lucidum and clotrimazole for clinical treatment of DS. Thus, Ganoderma may be regarded as an alternative treatment, especially in patients' resistant to azoles. Nonetheless, further clinical studies are required to shed more light on this topic.","PeriodicalId":12445,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Dentistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11792735/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atmospheric transport and persistence of mercury and its compounds in the environment, coupled with their high potential for bioaccumulation and detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems, underscore the necessity for effective management of mercury waste. Due to the lack of comprehensive and integrated guidelines for the effective management of dental amalgam waste in Iran, the objective of this study was to adapt a guideline for the management of amalgam waste in dental settings within the country. Materials and Methods: The method used was based on the adaptation principles presented by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and included searching and reviewing guidelines related to the management of amalgam waste in developed countries, extracting recommendations, revising the recommendations considering the local infra-structures and conditions, and receiving expert opinions and reaching consensus according to the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method. Results: The final guideline includes 34 recommendations in 5 areas: manage-ment of the amalgam scraps, considerations for dental equipment, management of the extracted teeth containing amalgam restorations, management of the amalgam capsules, and considerations for placement and replacement of the amalgam restorations. Conclusion: The use of this guideline in medical universities, public and private dental clinics, along with the supervisory role of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, can be a way to minimize the environmental hazards of mercury.","PeriodicalId":12445,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Dentistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11792727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess and compare different properties of dental composite resins available in the market. Materials and Methods: In this comparative study, samples of four different dental composite resins (Edge COM, Saremco, FGM, and Kulzer) were tested according to ISO 4049:2019 guidelines. Flexural strength (by using a universal testing machine), depth of cure (using the ISO 4049 scrape technique), radiopacity (with aluminum step wedge), water sorption/solubility (by using immersion and drying cycles), and shade (by using Vita Easy Shade) of the samples were assessed. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (alpha=0.05). Results: No significant difference was found in flexural strength among the four groups (P>0.05). The depth of cure of FGM was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). Solubility and water sorption were the highest in Kulzer, and the lowest in Edge COM (P<0.05). All tested composites met the necessary radiopacity standards for precise radiographic diagnosis; radiopacity was higher in Saremco and FGM groups. None of the composite resins matched the reference A2 shade.
