Materials and Methods: A total of 45 root canals with curvatures ranging between 20o and 40o were divided into three groups of 15 canals: Mtwo, ProTaper Next and HyFlex CM based on pre-instrumentation radiographs. Canals were prepared to an apical size of 30. Using pre- and post-instrumentation radiographs, canal straightening was determined with a computer image analysis program. Preparation time was also recorded. These data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey’s test, and significance was set at P < 0.05. The amounts of debris and smear layer were quantified based on a numerical evaluation scale and were analysed statistically using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: HyFlex CM and ProTaper Next maintained the canal curvature significantly better than Mtwo (P < 0.05). ProTaper Next was significantly faster than the other two systems (P < 0.05). For debris removal, Mtwo and ProTaper Next achieved significantly better results (P < 0.05) than HyFlex CM in the apical and middle canal thirds. The smear layer results were not significantly different for the different parts of the canals (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, HyFlex CM and ProTaper Next maintained the original canal curvature better than Mtwo. The use of Mtwo and HyFlex CM required more time to prepare the curved canals. Mtwo and ProTaper Next resulted in better canal cleanliness compared with HyFlex CM.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121740158","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}

Materials and Methods: A total of 120 disc-shaped specimens (10 mm diameter × 2 mm thickness) were prepared from three different RBC materials (n=40 discs/group): a Nano-fill resin composite (Omnichroma); a Nanoceramic resin composite (Neo Spectra ST) and a Nano-hybrid resin composite (Charisma Topaz). Each group was subdivided into four subgroups (n=10) according to the finishing/polishing (F/P) system: control (without F/P), one-step system (Enhance); two-step system (Super Snap Rainbow); and three-step system (Soflex). The mean Ra was measured using the profilometer. To compare the surface roughness between RBC materials without and after F/P, the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Student’s t-test and One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc tests. The level of significance was seated p<0.05. Results: The Nano-fill resin composite showed the lowest mean Ra while the Nano-ceramic resin composite showed the highest value. A statistically significant difference was found in Ra and without and after F/P for the three RBC materials (p<0.001). Conclusions: The various finishing and polishing systems had a noticeable effect on the surface roughness of the RBCs. The Nano-fill resin composite had the lowest surface roughness. The two-step F/P system provided the best F/P protocol of resin based composites evaluated.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122071985","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}

Materials and Methods: In the current study, two bulk-fill composite systems; one ormocer-based, and one methacrylate-based were used according to their manufacturer instructions. A total of 30 sound maxillary human molars was selected, and prepared by removal of occlusal enamel and part of dentin till remaining dentin thickness becomes 2 mm above highest pulp horn. The specimens were assigned equally into two halves, according to type restorative material used (n=15 for each). For every restorative system; each group was further subdivided into three subgroups according to the preheating regimen (non pre-heated, 540 C or 600 C). A K-type thermocouple was placed inside tooth pulp chamber. The intra-pulpal temperature was measured in each specimen before, after composite placement and after curing of restorative material, also after 15sec, 30sec, 60sec. Results: The outcome of three-way ANOVA revealed that the type of composite material, different heating temperature and different restorative stages had a statistical significant effects on intra-pulpal temperature values (p < 0.05). Post-hoc Tukey test outcome showed that, the ormocer-based composites showed significant intra-pulpal temperature increase compared to methacrylate-based composites. Conclusions: On the basis of the results of the current study, it seems reasonable to conclude that there is a proof that heating of composite restorative materials increase the intra-pulpal temperature with a noticeable increase in pre-heating of ormocer compared to methacrylate-based composite.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133216540","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}

Materials and Methods: Ten patients (age ranged from 9 to 14 y) with skeletal class II due to mandibular retrusion were selected and treated with the incisal capped Twin Block appliance. Overjet was more than 4 mm. Lateral cephalometric radiographs, photographs, and study casts were obtained before and after treatment. The collected data were analyzed using (SPSS) program for Windows (Standard version 26). The treatment duration was about 8-12 months. Results: Incisal capped TB appliance had Dentoskeletal and soft tissue effects including non-significant effect on the maxillary growth, significant advancement of the mandible, increase in the posterior and total anterior facial height, decrease in the overjet and overbite, retroclination of the upper incisors, significant proclination of the lower incisors and improvement of the soft tissue profile. Conclusions: The incisal capped Twin Block appliance was effective in the correction of skeletal class II patients. It produced a combination of skeletal and dental effects by forward movement of the mandible, palatal tipping of the upper incisors and labial flaring of the lower incisors. The addition of the acrylic capping to the lower incisors did not control the position of the lower teeth and did not prevent their labial flaring.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126578520","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}

Materials and Methods: Sixteen blocks were prepared from Tetric N-Ceram BFRC, aged by thermo-cycling, and then stored in artificial saliva for 6 months. The blocks were divided into 4 groups (n=4) according to the surface treatment; Group1: roughened by coarse discs, Group 2: roughened by coarse discs and silanization, Group 3: roughened by air abrasion, and Group 4: roughened by air abrasion and silanization. Each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups (n=2) according to the used repair restorative system; subgroup A repaired with Tetric N-Bond universal adhesive/ Tetric N-Flow BFRC, and subgroup B was repaired with Prime& Bond universal adhesive /Spectra ST flow CFRC. The repair RC was placed on the RC blocks using tygon tubes and cured. The specimens were tested for SBS using a universal testing machine. Results: Regarding the effect of different surface treatments for both repair restorative systems, there was a significant difference (P<0.001). Regarding the effect of silane, there was no significant difference (p= 1.00). There was no significant difference between repair with CFRC or BFFRC (P =0.679). Conclusions: Surface treatment by air abrasion followed by silane and universal adhesive can be attempted clinically for the repair of aged BF restoration. The aged BFRC could be effectively repaired with the same bulk-fill or conventional RC if proper repair protocol was used.","PeriodicalId":308616,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Journal of Dentistry","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132031178","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}
