Materials and methods: Sixty-three-disc specimens were divided; each group have 21 discs specimens. First group was lithium disilicate core 1 mm with no veneering coverage, second group the lithium disilicate core was veneered by 0.5 mm nano flouroapatite glass ceramic. Third group was lithium disilicate core veneered by 1 mm nano flouroapatite glass ceramic. Each group was subjected to repeated firing cycles (3, 5, 7). Seven-disc specimens for each firing cycle were used to measure translucency then flexural strength. The degree of color difference between the compared colors was expressed in ∆E units. The total color difference, according to L*, H*, C* coordinates, was calculated. Then change in TP (∆TP) which is the difference between first and second sample regarding thickness and firing cycles was measured to determine the acceptability threshold. Then fracture load was applied to all specimens fixed on 3 balls fixture under static compressive loading using universal testing machine to determine the flexural strength. The results were tabulated and statistical analysis was performedusing repeated way ANOVA method. Results: Regarding value, chroma and hue, in 3 firing cycles value means revealed a significant difference in the comparison between 1 mm, 1.5 mm (P=0.001) thickness and between 1 mm, 2 mm (P=0.001) but non-significant difference was shown between 1.5 mm and 2 mm (P=0.325). While chroma and hue showed significant difference in comparison between 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm (P=0.001). However, in 5 firing cycles, value showed significant difference between 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 1 mm, 2 mm (P=0.001) and also between 1.5 mm, 2 mm (P=0.016), and chroma also showed significant difference between 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm (P=0.001), and hue showed significant difference between 1 mm, 1.5 mm (P=0.027), and also between 1 mm, 2 mm and 1.5 mm, 2 mm. However, in 7 firing cycles, value showed significant difference in comparison between 1 mm, 1.5 mm (P=0.001) and 1 mm, 2 mm (P=0.001) but non-significant difference was revealed between 1.5 mm, 2 mm (P=0.053). While chroma showed significant difference between 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm (P=0.001), while hue showed significant difference in comparison between 1 mm, 1.5 mm (P=0.001) but non-significant difference was found between 1 mm, 2 mm (P=0.11) and 1.5 mm, 2 mm (P=0.148). Translucency parameters revealed a significant difference (P=0.001) between different firing cycles with different thickness. Flexural strength showed no significant decrease with increasing firing cycles from 3 to 5 firing cycles in the same 1 mm thickness (P=0.153) and showed significant decrease on increasing firing cycles from 3 to 7 cycles (P=0.001) and 5 to 7 cycles (P=0.005).

Materials and Methods: Twenty adolescents with crowded permanent dentitions were treated without extractions with EASY SMILE (USA) Orthodontic self-ligating bracket brackets & conventional brackets. Cone beam computed tomographic scans were taken before treatment (T0) and after alignment (T1). Alveolar bone thickness (BT) was evaluated at the maxillary central incisor (I), second premolar (2PM), and first molar mesiobuccal (mb1M) and distobuccal (db1M) roots. Correlations between alveolar width changes and initial arch width, initial crowding, amount of expansion, amount of tipping, and amount of molar rotation were calculated were calculated. All data collected will be tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: BT decreased and BH increased significantly for the incisors and mesiobuccal(mb1M) root of the first molars. Also, arch dimensions generally increased together with tipping. Bone loss was correlated with crowding and amount of expansion in the premolar region. Conclusion: Nonextraction alignment resulted in arch expansion associated with tipping of teeth for both self-ligating brackets & conventional brackets. Alignment with expansion led to horizontal and vertical bone loss at the incisors and mesiobuccal root of the first molars. Thinner BTs and more severe crowding before treatment led to increase the risk for buccal bone loss.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126236455","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 treated specimens with different remineralizing agents were compared with their untreated and demineralized ones regarding surface roughness, surface microhardness, and color measurement. Materials and methods: A total number of 120 specimens from extracted orthodontic patient teeth was collected and divided into 4 equal groups (10 specimens each) according to the enamel surface treatment applied immediately after PH cycling; group A received no surface treatment and served as a control group. In group B, the enamel surface was treated by CPP-ACP, while group C enamel surface was treated by CPP-ACFP, and group D was treated by Desensibilize NanoP. The surface roughness was obtained using surface Profilometer and Vickers microhardness was measured using Digital Display Vickers Microhardness Tester. Evaluation for each specimen was performed before, after pH cycling and after using different remineralizing agents. The color change was analyzed for each specimen in different groups under the Spectrophotometer. The change in color from control specimens compared to the color of the demineralized specimens (ΔE1), the difference in color between control specimens and after remineralization (ΔE2) and the change in color between demineralized and remineralized specimens (ΔE3) were calculated. The results were then statistically analyzed and compared using ANOVA and LSD test at level of significance 0.05. Results: The use of CPP-ACP, CCP-ACFP and NanoP significantly improved surface roughness, surface microhardness especially with NanoP with non-significant difference between the three remineralizing materials. NanoP exhibited the lowest change in color compared with CPP-ACFP and CPP-ACP paste.

Sharp injuries are the main risk for viral infections' transmission such as HBV, HCV, and HIV. The hazard of sharp injuries is generally reduced by following the proper safety measures in clinical training, and student vaccination particularly HBV vaccine. Aim: this study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge about infectious diseases transmission, HBV vaccination status, attitude, and practice of treating patients with infectious diseases,history of occupational injuries, and post exposure management among 4 th and 5 grades dental students in the Faculty of dentistry in both Mansoura and Delta universities. Method: Atotal of 798 dental students in 4th and 5th grades in both universities were chosen randomly and participated in this cross sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire was designed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of dental students toward infectious diseases that transmitted during dental procedures, post exposure management and their vaccination status. After data collection, they were analyzed using (SPSS) program. Results:Mansoura University students had significantly higher correct knowledge about salivary diseases transmission. As well as, significantly higher percentage of Mansoura dental students (90.1%)were vaccinated against HBV Compared to (82.7%) of Delta dental students.On the other hand, both Mansoura and Delta students had correct knowledge about taking medical history and post exposure management without significant difference between them. Mansoura University students had significantly higher attitude towards treating patientswith infectious diseases (89.5%) in comparison to Delta university students (85.4%).
