If these problems were ignored, they would cause pulpal necrosis. The main treatment for this case was Root Canal Treatment (RCT). The selection of post-RCT treatment and suitable materials was important. One of the examples was short fiber reinforced composite (SFRC) which can be an option for intracanal retention treatment. This study aims to analyze the resistance of the intracanal retention thickness with flowable fiber reinforced composite materials toward fracture toughness. Methods: This research was using a correlative laboratory experimental method with a post-test group-only design. This study's samples were SFRC material inserted in 27 extracted mandibular first premolars with a length of 21 mm ± 2 mm and root canal walls width of 2 mm. All samples were given intracanal retention at a depth of 2 mm below the orifice and divided into 3 groups: intracanal retention with thickness of (A) 6 mm, (B) 5 mm, and (C) 4 mm. RCT was performed using the crown-down technique. The bonding agent was applied, and then light cured for 20 seconds. SFRC was applied according to the sample group and light cured for 20 seconds per 2 mm, followed by filling with composite resin. The sample was implanted in the dental stone 2 mm below the CEJ. The fracture toughness test was performed using UTM on the occlusal surface with a 0o tilt and crosshead of 1 mm/min. Results: The fracture toughness results of group A, B, and C are 735.44, 756.78, and 829 respectively. Statistical tests with one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference with p value = 0.412 (p < 0.05).

In the spray pyrolysis method, some factors determine the size and morphology of the resulting filler particles, one of which is the concentration of precursors. This study aimed to assess the effect of precursor concentration on the particle size produced using the spray pyrolysis method. Methods: in this experimental laboratory study, zirconia-alumina-silica particles were synthesized using the spray pyrolysis method. The precursor solution consisted of ZrCl4, Al (NO3)3, and Na2SiO3 with a concentration variation of (0.1; 0.2; and 0.3) M. The furnace temperature was set at 750°C, and the electric precipitator temperature was 100°C with a feed rate of 3L/min. Then, the tests performed were using PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), and XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence). Results: The results showed that the best zirconia alumina silica filler particle with the smallest size is the result with a concentration of 0.1 M and its size was 618.6 nm. The particle size for 0.2 M was 911.9 nm and 1799.4 nm for 0.3 M.  According to XRF test results the zirconia alumina silica filler system contains all the precursor elements. Conclusions: This study concluded that the smaller the precursor concentration used, the smaller the particle size produced. This study obtained the best results from synthesizing a filler system with a concentration of 0.1 M precursor solution.

The disadvantage of glass ionomer cement is that if it comes into contact with acids before maturation, there will be a decrease in mechanical properties which is indicated by a decrease in surface hardness. Surface hardness has a relationship with aesthetics and resistance to scratches that can cause fractures. Coating agents like varnishes are required for glass ionomer cement to protect them from liquids with low pH level, such as carbonated drinks. Unfortunately many dentists neglected this procedure. The purpose of this research was to compare the surface hardness of glass ionomer cement which is protected and not protected by coating agent when its maturation is in contact with acids, to emphasize the importance of this procedure. Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental study. Samples consist of 24 glass ionomer cement specimens (GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA). Glass ionomer cement specimens were divided into 4 treatment groups. The first group was not applied with varnish and stored without immersion, the second group was applied with varnish and stored in artificial saliva, the third group was applied with varnish and soaked in carbonated drinks, and the last group was not applied with varnish and was immersed in carbonated drinks. The data that has been collected was processed and analyzed using the computer-based application IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.0. Results: There was a significant increase in the surface hardness of glass ionomer cement in all treatment groups. There was a significant difference in the mean surface hardness of glass ionomer cement after immersion in carbonated drinks between the groups that were applied with varnish coating agent and that without application of varnish coating agent.

This study aims to prepare micro-calcite from Ca(OH)2 analytical grade precursor via fine-bubble assisted carbonation and analysis the effect of precursor concentration and pH on the particle size of the calcite Methods: The calcite powder was prepared from Ca(OH)2 analytical grade powder utilizing the fine-bubble carbonation process with the Ca(OH)2 concentration and initial pH variation. The study was started by making a Ca(OH)2 suspension with a concentration of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.25 M using 2.000 ml methanol as a solvent. 0.5 M NaH2PO4 solutions were utilized to adjust the initial pH of 0.5 M Ca(OH)2 suspension into 8, 9, and 10. The suspensions were aerated using CO2 fine-bubble for two hours to produce CaCO3 samples. All precipitated CaCO3 particles were characterized by PSA, Zeta-Potential, and FTIR measurements Results: The calcite phase was identified from the FTIR transmittance. Aragonite or vaterite phase was not observed in the samples. PSA result shows the size of CaCO3 particles from samples 0.25 M to 1.25 M are as follows 3.03, 3.23, 2.79, 3.70, 0.99 μm respectively. Meanwhile, the particle sizes of CaCO3 in samples with a pH of 8, 9 and 10 are 3.00, 2.03 and 2.50  μm respectively. The zeta potential shows the value ranges from -23.2 mV to -11.9 mV, indicating fair dispersion ability.

Although wounds can naturally heal, the application of medicine might help accelerate wound healing. Proving the effectiveness of natural ingredients is currently being promoted because Indonesia owns many plants that are used empirically. The use of natural substances is also supported because it is relatively easy to obtain and safe if used properly. Subang Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) is one of the produce of West Java that people consume and empirically use on wounds. Its fruit and core contain active ingredients that affect wound healing, such as bromelain enzyme, flavonoids, saponin, and alkaloids.

Methods: 25 rats were divided into five groups: baseline, negative control, positive control with 10% povidone-iodine, positive control with AloclairTM gel, and treatment group with 20% pineapple ethanol extract gel used as wound model on the buccal mucosa. The length of the incisional wound area was examined on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Measurement of wound length was performed using a periodontal probe.
