title: Penetration and antibacterial ability in dentinal tubules of neem paste for caries treatment (in vitro)

description: Dental caries is the most common oral health issue worldwide. Untreated caries causes deterioration to the pulp and periapical tissues, eventually leading to tooth loss. Foreign organisms, like the bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus, can penetrate to dentinal tubules and develop under pulp liner material, resulting in caries progression and pulp inflammat ion. Azadirachta indica var. siamensis valeton (neem) leaf extract has been reported to possessantibacterial properties effective against oral acidogenic bacteria. Objectives: This study proposes to assess neem paste's antibacterial efficacy against L. rhamnosus in dentinal tubules.Methods: The bioactive constituents of neem extract were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The physicochemical properties of neem paste were investigated using visual, pH andviscosity measurements. The antimicrobial activity of neem pastes on L. rhamnousus, was alsoinvestigated, using an agar disc diffusion assay while the antimicrobial properties in dentinwere examined using LIVE/DEAD BacLight® staining and confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Results: Phytol was determined to be the primary constituent compound (65.97 percent). Others active compounds, including azadirachtin, querecetin, nimbin, and nimbidin weredetected. Neem paste penetrated the dentinal tubules by 1,030 ± 39.61 μm. Neem pasteinhibited L. rhamnosus growth in an agar disc diffusion assay and eliminated L. rhamnosus indentinal tubules at all experiment dentin depths.Conclusion: Neem paste has satisfactory antibacterial activity and highly effective penetrationthrough infected dentin. Therefore, neem paste might be developed to be an alternative materialfor indirect pulp treatment.

title: Marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of milled and 3D-printed CAD/CAM hybrid materials of dental crowns with various occlusal thicknesses

description: Purpose To evaluate the marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of three computeraideddesign/computer-assisted manufacturing hybrid dental materials with different occlusal thicknesses.Methods Ninety single-molar crowns were digitally fabricated using a milled hybrid nanoceramic (Cerasmart, CE), polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN, Vita Enamic, VE), and 3D-printed materials (Varseosmile, VS) with occlusal thicknesses of 0.8, 1, and 1.5 mm (10 specimens/group). Anatomical 3D-printed resin dies (Rigid 10K) were used as supporting materials. A CEREC MCX milling unit and a DLP-based 3D printer, Freeform Pro 2, were utilized to produce the crown samples. Before and After cementation with self-adhesive resin cement, the marginal adaptation, absolutemarginal discrepancy (AMD), and marginal gap (MG) were assessed using micro-CT scanning. Fracture resistance was evaluated using a universal testing machine. The number of fractured crowns and the maximum fracture values (N) were recorded. Datawere statistically analyzed using both one- and two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test. Results: For all occlusal thicknesses, the VS crowns demonstrated the lowest AMD and MG distances, significantly different from those of the other two milling groups(P&lt;0.05), whereas CE and VE did not differ significantly (P&gt;0.05). All VS crowns were fractured using the lowest loading forces (1480.3±226.1 to 1747.2±108.7 N). No CE and 1 and 1.5 mm VE crowns fractured under a 2000 N maximum load.Conclusions All hybrid-material crowns demonstrated favorable marginal adaptation withina clinically acceptable range, with 3D printing yielding superior results to milling. All materials could withstand normal occlusal force even with a 0.8 mm occlusal thickness.

title: Effect of anti-COVID-19 mouthwashes on shear bond strength of resin-matrix ceramics repaired with resin composite using universal adhesive

description: Using anti-COVID-19mouthwashes has become necessary to reduce Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 ( SARS- CoV- 2) transmission. Resin- Matrix Ceramic (RMC) materials exposed to mouthwashes may affect the bonding of the repaired material. This research was investigated to assess the effect of the antiCOVID- 19 mouthwash on shear bond strengths (SBS) in RMC repaired with resin composite. The 189 rectangular specimens per material of the two different RMCs (Vita Enamic (VE) and Shofu Block HC (ShB)) were thermocycling and randomly divided into 9 subgroups according to mouthwash types of ( distilled water ( DW) , 0. 2%povidone-iodine (PVP-I) and 1.5% Hydrogen peroxide (HP)) and surface treatments protocol ( no surface treatment, hydrofluoric acid etching (HF) and sandblast (SB)). The repair protocol for RMC was performed ( using universal adhesive and resin composite) and specimens were assessed by SBS test. The failure mode was examined using the stereomicroscope. SBS data were evaluated by 3-way ANOVA and Turkey post hoc test. The SBS were significantly affected by RMC, mouthwash and surfacetreatment protocol. Both of the surface treatment protocols (HF and SB) to both RMC improved the SBS whether immersed in anti-COVID-19 mouthwash or not. For VE immersed in HP and PVP- I, HF surface treatment had the highest SBS. For ShB immersed in HP and PVP-I, SB surface treatment had the highest SBS.

title: Understanding the perceived needs for tooth replacement in older adults: a case study of Dan Kwian, Korat

description: Tooth loss holds a complex relationship with oral health-related quality of life. A recent National survey reported only half of Thai elderly population with remaining teeth fewer than 20 had their dentures made, despite a policy promoting denturefabrication free of charge. The aim of this study was for exploring the perspectives of older adults living in Dan Kwian subdistrict regarding their perceived needs for tooth replacement. We purposefully selected older adults who were identified a denture needed by a dental nurse and but not currently wearing the prosthesis, for a face-to-face in-depth semi-structure interview. The saturated data was reached with 29 older adults. Inductive content analysis of the interview transcripts yielded two main themes: First,the factors influencing the needs for denture: 1.1) “the rumours from neighbors & the village health volunteer as the main influencer” inducing the needs; 1.2) the socialization stimulated the needs; and 1.3) indirect cost despite free denture hindering the needs. Second, the dynamic of conflicting priorities: 2.1) From attach to detach once getting old or being ill; 2.2) perceived needs could change over time in response to changes in life circumstance. In sum, insights from this study may help reduce thediscrepancies between professional needs and the perceived needs of the patients

title: Effect of fluoride-releasing restorative materials on remineralization of adjacent proximal enamel carious lesion: a micro-CT study

description: Purpose: To investigate the ability of fluoride-releasing restorative materials to remineralize artificial proximal enamel carious lesions adjacent to the restoration.Methods: Fifty-four artificial enamel carious lesions (size 2x3 mm.) were created at the proximal surface of extracted premolar teeth. The baseline lesion depth and mineral density were determined by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Then, all samples were randomly assigned to arrange in contact with four class II restorative material groups (Filtek Z350 XT™; FZ, Cention N®; CN, Fuji II LC®; FJ, Equia Forte®; EQ) and subjected to 14 days pH-cycling. Finally, post pH-cycling was measured by using micro-CT, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energydispersive x-ray (EDX). The difference in lesion depth and mineral density between groups wereanalyzed by using one-way ANOVA and the post-hoc Tukey multiple comparison test at p&lt; 0.05.Results: The significant decrease in enamel lesion depth was found in all groups of fluoridereleasingrestorative materials (FJ, EQ, and CN). EQ demonstrated highest percent reduction oflesion depth. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in percent reduction oflesion depth between EQ and resin composite (FZ). While the mineral density of adjacent enamelcarious lesions was significant increase in all material groups. However, there was no significantdifference in percent increase of mineral density between groups. From SEM-EDX, the Ca/P ratioof the remineralized enamel carious surface adjacent to the CN was comparable to those of theEQ, whereas the FJ had the highest Ca/P ratio.Conclusion: After 14 days of pH-cycling, fluoride releasing materials can reduce the progressionof lesion depth and increase mineral density of adjacent proximal enamel carious lesion. GICshave a tendency to provide superior remineralization than resin-based composites

title: Comparison of stress distribution on the articular disc between the Hunsuck/Epker and NM-Low Z plasty technique for mandibular setback procedure: finite element analysis

description: The Novel Modification of Low Z plasty (NM-Low Z) technique is a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) technique in which the incision line is designed to create more inferior support at the proximal segment compared to the Hunsuck/Epker (HE) modification. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the stress distribution patterns at the articular disc of thetemporomandibular joint (TMJ) using the NM-Low Z technique and HE modification in mandibular prognathism models. Finite element models of the mandible, including the TMJ, were segmented using the NM-Low Z and HE modification techniques. The mandible was moved 7 mm posteriorly and fixed with 2.0 mm miniplates and screws. The material propertiesof the articular discs were simulated as homogenous, isotropic, and linearly elastic materials. Finite element analysis was used to evaluate the equivalent von Mises stress on the articular disc of the TMJ. Various muscular and biting forces were applied to simulate 1, 3, and 12 months postoperatively in both models. The maximum von Mises stresses of the articular discin the NM-Low Z model were 60.64, 36.43, and 76.38, while those of the HE modificationmodel were 73.40, 29.94, and 82.51 at 1, 3, and 12 months, respectively. Both techniques resulted in normal stress distribution patterns on the articular disc surface. In conclusion, the NM-Low Z technique is an option for BSSO in terms of providing a lower maximum von Mises stress at the articular disc than the HE modification technique, while also providing a normal stress distribution pattern similar to the HE modification technique.

title: The effect of morpholine on composite-to-composite repair strength contaminated with saliva

description: This study's purpose was to investigate the effects of morpholine on the chemical surface modifications of aged resin composites that had been contaminatedwith saliva on new resin composite repair ability. One hundred thirty-five resin composite specimens were prepared and thermocycled to imitate an aged resincomposite. Depending on the different surface contamination and surface treatment strategies, the aged resin composites were randomized divided into 9 groups (n = 15) as follows; group 1- no surface treatment, group 2- no saliva + adhesive agent, group 3- no saliva + morpholine + adhesive agent, group 4- no saliva + morpholine, group 5- saliva, group 6- saliva + adhesive agent, group 7- saliva + morpholine + adhesive agent, group 8- saliva + morpholine, and group 9- saliva + phosphoric acid + adhesive agent. The specimen center's top was covered with an ultradent template, and resincomposite was then filled in. The shear bond strengths and failure modes were investigated. One-way ANOVA was used to examine the data gathered, and Tukey'stest was used to assess the significant level. The statistically lowest shear bond strengths were found in groups 5 (3.31±0.95 MPa) and 6 (4.05±0.93 MPa), whilst the greatest shear bond strengths were found in groups 3 (23.66±1.35 MPa) and 7 (22.88±1.96 MPa). The shear bond strength in group 2 (16.41±1.22 MPa) was significantly different from groups 1 (9.83±1.13 MPa), 4 (10.71±0.81 MPa) and 8 (10.36±1.53 MPa), while group 9 (17.31±1.48 MPa) shear bond strength was not significantly different. In result, the shear bond strength of aged resin composites repaired with new resin composites was enhanced by applying morpholine to themeither with or without contaminated saliva before the adhesive agent application.

title: Information Competition in Disruptive Media Markets: Investigating Competition and User Selection on Google

description: Due to digitization, traditional media brands are facing hypercompetition. For one thing, media outlets offering journalistic content no longer compete just with each other but also with all sorts of content from various sources, such as corporate publishers. This particularly applies to the information space provided by Google and other search engines. This leads to the question of how traditional media brands prevail in this information space: do traditional media brands have a competitive advantage because users perceive their journalistic content as more valuable in terms of credibility and reputation? Accordingly, this study investigates competition and user selection on Google. Drawing on a representative, experimental selection study of the German-speaking Swiss population (<i>N</i> = 1,100), search engine selection behavior was investigated. Results show that selection preferences do not differ between traditional media brands and other competitors, such as corporate publishers. This poses a major challenge for media brands. However, credibility and reputation significantly influence selection preferences. Thus, media managers should focus on effective branding activities in order to maintain a strong position in the digital information market.

title: Supplementary Material for: The association between dapagliflozin use and the risk of post contrast acute kidney injury in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease: a propensity-matched analysis

description: Introduction This study aimed to investigate the effect of dapagliflozin in preventing post contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) who underwent an elective coronary procedure. Methods Data of patients with T2DM and CKD undergoing an elective coronary procedure at Civil Aviation General Hospital from October 2020 to April 2023, were collected from the electronic medical records. Based on dapagliflozin usage, patients were classified as dapagliflozin users and non-users. 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity matching was performed to compare dapagliflozin users with non-users. The primary endpoint was the first PC-AKI observed. Univariate and multivariate COX regression models were used to determine the independent risk/preventive factors for PC-AKI. Thereafter, subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the interaction between subgroup and dapagliflozin usage. Changes in the serum creatinine (SCr) and cystatin C (CysC) levels were monitored at 24h, 48h and 72h after the procedure. Results 256 pairs (256 dapagliflozin users in the dapagliflozin group and 256 dapagliflozin non-users in the control group) were identified in the cohort. The incidence of PC-AKI in dapagliflozin group (10.9%) was lower than that in control group (22.3%). COX regression analyses showed that dapagliflozin use was associated with a lower risk of PC-AKI (HR 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69-0.95, P=0.01) after adjustment for covariates. In the subgroup analyses, similar HRs of the dapagliflozin usage on the PC-AKI outcome were observed in patients across different patients’ characteristics which revealed its consistent benefit of preventing PC-AKI. The eGFR levels at post-48h and 72h were significant higher in the dapagliflozin group than those in the control group, while levels of SCr (post-48h and 72h) and CysC (post-24h and 48h) in the dapagliflozin group were lower compared with the control group. Conclusion Our findings suggest dapagliflozin effectively decrease PC-AKI risk and exert reno-protective effects in patients with T2DM and CKD undergoing an elective coronary procedure.
