Objective: To evaluate the effects of boric acid on the water solubility (WS) of GIC. Methods: The samples were prepared as n=12 in each of four groups: GIC-Conventional glass ionomer cement; BGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to conventional GIC powder; RMGIC-resin-modified glass ionomer cement; BRMGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to RMGIC powder. Weight changes were compared 1, 3 and 24 h after keeping in distilled water. One sample in each group was measured by SEM-EDX analysis. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance, Dunnett’s T3 in multiple comparison tests, and generalized linear models. Results: In all groups, water solubility increased. There was a significant difference between the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables in each group and between the GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC groups in the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables. The SEM-EDX analysis revealed 14.19–18.47%; 0.80–1.00%; 8.69–14.91%; 0.09–13.10% boron minerals in GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC, respectively. Conclusion: The addition of boric acid led to an increase in water solubility. The effects of boric acid on the GIC samples emphasized its potential role in altering the cement’s physicochemical properties. Therefore, it is important to consider carefully when using boric acid as a supplement in GIC formulations for dental applications.","PeriodicalId":53873,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dentistry Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42557548","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}

Methods: One hundred and two participants (18 - 74 years of age) were divided into two groups (51 HIV - infected patients and 51 controls) and had a saliva sample collected. Salivary flow rate was measured gravimetrically. Levels of salivary sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results: The mean salivary flow of subjects with HIV infection was significantly higher when compared to controls (Case group = 1.0 mL/min + 0.63 / Control group = 0.7 mL/min + 0.46; p = 0.012). Sodium, potassium and calcium levels were significantly higher in the saliva of the patients HIV infection when compared to controls. There was no difference between the salivary levels of magnesium and phosphorus ions between groups.

The caries-infected tissues were removed regarding either minimally invasive or conventional cavity principles. Samples were scanned again and volumetric data were assessed by Meshmixer 3.5 (Autodesk) 3D modeling software. Statistical evaluations were performed with Mann Whitney U test and Spearman’s Correlation test. The significance level was α=0.05. Results: Although there was a significant difference between obtained initial volume readings of two scanners for 3M and 3C groups (p < 0.05), no significant difference was observed among other groups (p ≥ 0.05). Regarding the comparison of final volume readings of two scanners, a significant difference was found for 5M group (p = 0.036), whereas no significant difference was observed for other groups (p ≥ 0.05).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate if there was any biocompatibility of the toothpaste on zebrafish embryos. Methods: Adult AB strain zebrafish were used according to Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee protocols. Normally dividing, spherical embryos were exposed to herbal toothpaste with ginger (Gumgumix, Turkey) (50 mg/L) and conventional toothpaste (Signal, Expert Protection, Bulgaria) (50 mg/L) in well plates containing 20 embryos, having four replicates. Developmental effects, mortality, and hatching rates were evaluated for 72h. Results: Zebrafish embryos exposed to conventional toothpaste had a higher mortality rate than those exposed to herbal toothpaste; they hatched later and delayed in development. There was no difference between herbal toothpaste and the control group regarding mortality and hatching rates (p > 0.005).

It is rare and may be confused with a wide variety of diseases for example furuncle, pericoronitis in relation to the mandibular third molars, parotid fistula, preauricular sinuses, periapical and periodontal pathology, and many more. Patients might seek treatment from their physician as they are not aware of its odontogenic origin and these cases usually are misdiagnosed and leading to inappropriate treatment. Objective: To discuss the detailed management of two cases of extraoral draining sinus that were successfully treated. Case Reports: The first case was referred by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, for management of extraoral draining sinus originating from tooth 36. In the second case, the extraoral draining sinus is caused by pulpal necrosis of several mandibular anterior teeth. Intra-radicular microorganisms in infected root canals primarily obligate anaerobes have been the aetiologic cause of apical periodontitis if left untreated may cause these types of symptoms. Conclusion: As it is uncommon and the absence of any dental symptoms, thus, it’s paramount important to diagnose these types of cases to treat the disease and to avoid unnecessary treatments such as prolonged prescription of antibiotics. Therefore, the dental cause should be ruled out for any cutaneous sinus tract so that a correct diagnosis can be ascertained, and proper management can be delivered to the patient.","PeriodicalId":53873,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dentistry Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47770865","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}
