Materials and methods: A Sound premolar was scanned using optical oral scanner. The scanned premolar was digitally prepared to receive zirconia restoration using Exocad software following standard preparation guidelines for ceramic restorations. 3D printed resin master die was produced. An impression was made for the 3D printed master die using polyvinylsiloxane impression material then poured using epoxy resin. The procedure was repeated to obtain 16 epoxy resin models. Sixteen crowns were produced by CADCAM system from ZirCAD Prime blank shade A2 with 16 mm thickness. Samples were divided into two groups according to sintering time (n=8). Group (A): crowns were sintered using normal sintering cycle for 9h and 50 min. Group (B): crowns were sintered using speed sintering cycle for 2h and 26 min. After sintering the internal surfaces of both groups were abraded with 50 μm Al2O3 particles. Optical properties including Translucency Parameter (TP) and change in color (ΔE) of samples were determined using spectrophotometer. Obtained values were statistically analyzed. Results: Regarding change of color evaluation mean ∆E values were below 3.0 which is considered “clinically imperceptible”. There was also no significant difference in translucency parameter between both groups. Conclusion: ZirCAD Prime speed sintering cycle will have no perceived effect on color and translucency of the final restoration.","PeriodicalId":7493,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar Dental Journal for Girls","volume":"33 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90224319","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}

Material and Methods: The present study was carried out on 40 primary extracted human molars. The primary molars were equally divided into 2 groups (Group I, Group II). (Group I) including: 20 primary molars were used for microleakage testing under stereomicroscope at x40. (Group II) including: 20 primary molars were used for shear bond strength testing using Instron Universal Testing Machine. Each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups; subgroup 1 which been treated with SDF then restored by Glass ionomer restoration and subgroup 2 which was restored with Glass ionomer without SDF. Result: In microleakage analysis comparing both groups in both surfaces, the highest mean value was recorded in glass ionomer without SDF group in the occlusal surface (758.77±69.65), followed by glass ionomer without SDF group in the gingival surface (643.74±83.77), then glass ionomer with SDF group in the occlusal surface (126.06±10.70), with the least value was recorded in Glass ionomer with SDF group in the gingival surface (109.12±5.58). In shear bond strength analysis, the higher mean value was recorded in Glass ionomer with SDF group (9.38±1.12), while that recorded in Glass ionomer without SDF group was (1.97±0.16). Conclusion: The results of the current analysis suggest that the use of SDF minimized microleakage and increased intensity of shear bond strength for Glass ionomer restoration.","PeriodicalId":7493,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar Dental Journal for Girls","volume":"04 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88778927","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: SHEDs were isolated from the pulp of five deciduous anterior teeth indicated for extraction. SHEDs were cultured with propolis and castor oil cement extracts. SHEDs cultured in MTA extracts and basal media were used as positive and negative controls respectively. Stemness properties of SHEDs were assessed in the form of proliferation, migration and the ability to enhance wound healing. Moreover, osteogenic differentiation potential of the isolated SHEDs was evaluated. Results: No significant statistical difference between propolis and castor oil cement regarding cell proliferation was detected. SHEDs cultured in Castor oil cement showed higher migration ability than those cultured in propolis. The ability to enhance the healing of the wound was more in castor oil cement group rather than in the propolis group. Finally, castor oil cement induced osteogenic differentiation while no formation of calcified nodules was noticed in the presence of propolis. Conclusions: Because of the limitation of the current research it was came to conclusion that Castor oil cement may have greater potentials as a pulpotomy material than propolis.

Subjects and methods: A number of 10patients (age range: 15-20) requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars as a part of orthodontic therapy were selected randomly. A split-mouth technique was used. The test side received (LLLT) from a semiconductor (aluminium galliumarsenide) diode laser. The laser was irradiated on days 0, 2, 7, and14. The canine distalization was achieved with a force of 150 g per side using nickel titanium closed coil spring. GCF samples were collected from canines on days 0,7,14 and 30 using perio paper point #35. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess levels of RANKL. Pain was assessed for one week from the intervention using a visual analogue scale(VAS).Gingival index and pocket depth were assessed at baseline and after 30 days. Results: There was no significant difference between RANKL concentrations in the two groups at base line, 7 and 14days. After 30 day; Laser side showed statistically significant lower mean RANKL (p=0.011) than control side. For pain: non significant difference was found between the two groups during the tested periods. Conclusion: LLLT showed no additional benefits over conventional canine retraction regarding pain and RANKL release. However, the laser group showed the least RANKL level at the end of the study which denotes biostimulatory effect of laser on bone cells.

Samples were divided into two groups in relation to the material utilized for the fabrication of the copings; group (I) (n=10): zirconia copings, group (II) (n=10): breCAM.BioHPP copings. All copings were machined using CAD/CAM system. Samples were exposed to a fatigue procedure for 20,000 cycles. Marginal fit was determined using digital stereomicroscope.
