RESUMEN
The effect of different cavity liners on the shear bond strength of nanocomposite to dentin is of interest. A total of sixty extracted caries-free maxillary, mandibular molars were randomly assigned to four groups in the following manner Group 1: control (no cavity liner), group 2: Biodentin, group 3: Apacal ART and Group 4: Giomer. Following the application of different cavity liners based on the groups, restoration was carried out using nanocomposite resin using the total-etch Tetric N bond adhesive. The samples were thereafter subjected to a shear bond strength test at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min until bond failure occurred, utilizing the universal testing machine. The one-way ANOVA test and the post hoc test were used to evaluate the data for pairwise group comparisons. Compared to the control group, all groups showed lower shear bond strength to dentin, irrespective of the type of liner. Apacal ART showed higher shear bond strength followed by giomer and biodentin. However, there's no apparent statistical difference between the groups.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Demonstrate the expression of CD105 (angiogenetic marker) in ameloblastoma (AM), keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and dentigerous cyst (DC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Assessment of microvessel density (MVD) in 70 cases, including 20 KCOT, 20 DC and 20 solid AMs. Assessment of MVD should be done as the mean number of microvessels per high-power-field. RESULTS: AM and KCOT demonstrated a higher mean value of 7.98 (±2.70) and 6.25 (±2.88) respectively while DC demonstrated a lower mean of 3.75 (±1.42). There was no statistically significant difference between AM and KCOT (P > 0.05). The difference between AM and DC; and between KCOT and DC were statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The present study suggested that angiogenesis may be one of the mechanisms possibly contributing to the different biological behaviors of KCOT, DCs and solid AMs.
