Aims: This study aims to evaluate the bond strength (BS) and microleakage (ML) of the newer bonding agents to enamel and dentin. Objective: (1) To analyze the BS between self-etch and total-etch adhesives. (2) To analyze the depth of ML between self-etch and total-etch adhesives. Materials and Methods: Sixty mandibular premolars were fabricated and randomly divided into three groups: Group I ( n = 20)-bonded with self-etch adhesive + nanohybrid, Group II ( n = 20) with total-etch adhesive + micro hybrid and Group III ( n = 20) with total-etch adhesive + nanocomposite. Teflon ring molds were used to make composite resin cylinders bonded to the buccal surface. Class II box cavity was prepared on the samples' proximal surface and condensed with composite resin with each group's specific bonding protocol. Shear BS and ML testing were conducted, and data analyzed. Statistical Analysis: Kruskal–Wallis analysis was done to statistically differentiate the BS and ML between the three experimental groups; the P < 0.05, it showed a statistically significant difference. Intergroup comparison was made using the Mann–Whitney U test. Conclusions: Within this study's limitation, resin bonded with self-etch G-Premio Bond used in selective etch technique showed the highest BS and resistance to ML.
Aim: To evaluate the reducing potential of herbal toothpastes in comparison with a non-herbal toothpaste. Methodology: In-vitro analysis was conducted among seven herbal toothpaste groups (numbered from 1-7) and one non-herbal toothpaste (group 8). The toothpastes were diluted with distilled water, filtered, and the clear solution was taken as a test sample. Evaluation of reducing potential was done by Dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) method. The results were obtained using the ANOVA test. Result: Group 3 (Dabur dant rakshak) of the herbal tooth pastes showed the highest reducing potential with a mean value of 4.46 followed by group 5 (Patanjali Dantkanti), group 2 (Dabur red gel), group 1 (Dabur Red toothpaste), group 6 (Colgate Swarna Vedshakti), group 4 (Dabur 2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
