RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare the internal adaptation of restorative systems bonded to mid-coronal and gingival dentin using light-cured, chemical-cured, and dual-cured adhesives, both immediately and after aging. METHODS: 60 molars were selected and received occluso-mesial preparations with dentin gingival margins. Restorations were performed using different restorative systems with light-cured, chemical-cured, and dual-cured adhesives. Internal adaptation was assessed by examining the percentage of continuous margin (%CM) at the pulpal and gingival dentin under a scanning electron microscope at x200 magnification. Half of the teeth were stored in sterile water for 24 hours, while the other half underwent 10,000 thermal cycles. Micro-morphological analysis was conducted on representative samples at x1,000 magnification. RESULTS: The restorative system with light-cured adhesive exhibited significantly lower %CM values at the gingival dentin, particularly after aging. Aging had a negative impact on the %CM values of the pulpal and gingival dentin in restorative systems with light-cured and dual-cured adhesives. Regional dentin variations influenced the %CM values, especially after aging, regardless of the restorative system used. The tested restorative system with chemical-cured adhesive is preferable for achieving improved internal adaptation when bonding to both mid-coronal and gingival dentin, compared to the other tested systems. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The study highlights the variations in adhesive performance between different regional dentin areas using the tested restorative systems.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and compare the marginal integrity of different restorative systems bonded to proximal gingival dentin, and determine the consistency level of the results obtained by two in vitro methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty molars received occluso-mesial preparations with dentin/cementum gingival margins. They were divided into three groups and restored using different restorative systems with light-cured (Adhese Universal), self-cured (Palfique universal bond), and dual-cured (Futurabond U) adhesives. The restoration/gingival dentin interfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and evaluated based on the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. After 10,000 thermal cycles, the marginal integrity was re-evaluated. Marginal integrity was evaluated by the percentage of continuous margin (% CM) at ×200 for SEM and as the frequency of each score within the FDI ranking. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between the restorative systems immediately, however, the system with the light-cured adhesive had the lowest marginal integrity after aging. All tested restorative systems were adversely affected by aging. A moderate inverse correlation was identified between evaluation techniques. CONCLUSION: The tested restorative systems utilizing self-cured and dual-cured adhesives may be preferable for achieving optimal marginal integrity when bonding to deep proximal margins, compared to the tested system with light-cured adhesive. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: When performing deep margin elevation, it is important to consider the adhesive system being used.

OBJECTIVES: To provide a 3-year follow-up of previously treated patients to assess and compare the periodontal responses and clinical performance of proximal subgingival open sandwich restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-five adults participated in the study, with a combined total of 120 compound Class II cavities. These cavities had gingival margins located below the CEJ. Four different restorative materials were used to elevate the dentin/cementum gingival margins of the cavities: resin-modified glass ionomer, glass hybrid, flowable bulk-fill composite, or ion-releasing material, which were then completed with the same overlaying composite. Different periodontal and clinical evaluations, based on the criteria set by the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria, were performed at different time intervals, including baseline, 6 months, 1, 2, and 3 years. RESULTS: The type of base material did not affect the periodontal evaluations. There were no statistically significant differences between different time intervals or base material groups in any of the evaluated FDI parameters. However, the ion-releasing material scored significantly worse in the radiographic evaluation than any of the other groups. CONCLUSIONS: All tested materials are suitable for proximal subgingival open sandwich restorations, as long as the restoration/tooth margin is at least 2-mm away from the bone crest. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians can confidently choose any of the tested materials for proximal subgingival open sandwich restorations, as they have shown good outcomes from both periodontal and clinical perspectives.

This study compared the periodontopathic bacterial adhesion to four restorative materials used for deep margin elevation at 2, 24, and 48-h after incubation. Discs were produced from four restorative materials: resin modified glass ionomer, glass hybrid, flowable bulk fill resin composite, and bioactive ionic resin. Root dentin was used as control. Specimens were coated with saliva and used to culture a biofilm comprised of three strains of periodontopathic bacteria; Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Bacterial adherence was assessed by colony count assay, crystal violet staining, and visualized using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc tests. The adhesion values for the control specimens were significantly higher than for other materials, while those for the flowable bulk fill were significantly lower than for any other material within all evaluation assays. The 2-h incubation period showed the lowest adhesion values regardless of the group. The 48-h adhesion values were higher than the 24-h results in all groups except the flowable bulk fill. Microscopic imaging partially supported the findings of the measurements. In terms of periodontopathic bacterial adhesion, the tested flowable bulk fill may be preferable for subgingival use over other tested materials.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential secondary caries reduction of bulk-fill resin composite restorations treated with different fluoride (F)-based agents prior to restoration placement. METHODS: 25 upper extracted molars received Class V cavities on both buccal and lingual surfaces with an enamel margin and root surface margin. The teeth were randomly assigned into five groups with five teeth per group (n=10). The treatment groups were: control group, with no treatment; the other groups received treatment using different F-based agents prior to bonding. All teeth were restored using a selective etch bonding technique and bulk fill resin composite. All teeth received 10,000 thermal cycles followed by immersion in demineralizing solution to produce artificial caries-like lesions. Polarized light microscope evaluation was performed on longitudinal sections (30 enamel lesions and 30 root surface lesions per group). Lesion depth and wall lesions for both enamel and root surface adjacent to the restorations were evaluated. RESULTS: Both lesion depths and frequency of wall lesions in the enamel and root surfaces in all treatment groups were significantly reduced compared with the control group. Among the different F-based agents, no significant difference was seen on the enamel or root surface lesion depth, showing a similar presence of enamel and root cavosurface wall lesions. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: F-based agent treatment of adjacent enamel and root surfaces prior to placement of restorative materials provided resistance to the development of secondary caries during an in vitro caries model.

PURPOSE: To compare the microhardness values and bottom/top hardness ratios of different composites after being cured in 2 or 4 mm increments. METHODS: Two bulk fill composites, methacrylate-based and ormocer-based, and one conventional composite were tested. 36 cylindrical discs were prepared (n=12/composite, with six for 2 mm, and six for 4 mm thickness) by pressing each composite into a mold between two glass slides covered by Mylar strips. The top and bottom surfaces of each sample were evaluated using a Buehler hardness tester for Knoop microhardness, with a 50 g static load applied for 10 seconds at three different locations of the central part of each sample. The bottom/top hardness ratio was calculated for each sample. The Knoop microhardness data and bottom/top ratio percentages were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Holm-Sidak post hoc test, with significance at P< 0.05. RESULTS: The tested methacrylate-based bulk fill had the highest overall microhardness among the three tested composites. All three composite types showed a significant difference in microhardness between the top and bottom of the 4 mm discs. The bottom/top ratio percentages differed significantly for both tested bulk fill composites across different thicknesses. Both tested bulk fill materials had a bottom/top ratio of ≥ 80% at the deepest level of a 4 mm increment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The type of material significantly affected both the bottom and top microhardness values under the experimental conditions used. While both tested bulk fill composites showed a decline in microhardness at the bottom of the 4 mm depth, they had clinically acceptable microhardness ratios at greater depths.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the effects of different scaling and polishing techniques on the surface roughness of four different restorative materials. METHODS: 72 specimens were prepared, molded to a size of 8.0 by 2.0 mm, and cured according to the manufacturers' instructions. The specimens were stored at 37°C for 24 hours and then thermocycled for 5,000 cycles (from 55°C to 5°C) to simulate 6 months of clinical use. Surface roughness (Ra/average and Rz/max-overall heights) was calculated using a stylus profilometer by subtracting the simulated treatments of hand scaling, ultrasonic scaling, and air polishing from the baseline measurements. The difference in Ra and Rz data were compared independently for each measurement using a two-way ANOVA on Ranks and the Holm-Sidak test, with α< 0.05 used to determine significance. RESULTS: Irrespective of the scaling or polishing technique employed, flowable bulk fill demonstrated the lowest Ra and Rz values. Hand scaling exhibited the highest roughness and variability among the other techniques, regardless of the materials tested (P< 0.001). Air polishing with glycine resulted in the lowest roughness values across all tested materials, with the exception of the tested bioactive restorative material group. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Regarding surface roughness, air polishing with glycine may be an effective and safe intervention for periodontal maintenance of subgingival restorations compared to the other tested scaling methods.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the effect of pressure during curing on resin composite bond strength to dentin using a self-etch bonding protocol. METHODS: 20 human teeth were cut to the mid-coronal dentin and received a standardized smear layer. The prepared teeth were randomly assigned to the following two groups (n= 10/group): (1) without pressure during curing (control) or (2) with pressure during curing. Teeth in the control group received a 4 mm-thick buildup of a nanohybrid resin composite in two separately cured increments, adapted using a composite placement instrument, and bonded with a universal adhesive, while teeth in the treatment group were restored with the same adhesive and resin composite but a plexiglass pressure cylinder was used to apply pressure while each increment was cured. Each group was further divided into two subgroups, one of which was sectioned and subjected to microtensile bond strength (µTBS) testing after 24 hours (immediate samples; n= 5), while the other was subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles (TC; n= 5) prior to sectioning and µTBS testing. The resulting failure patterns were assessed under a stereomicroscope. In addition, one representative specimen from each subgroup was subjected to qualitative microscopic morphological analysis of the internal restoration/dentin interface. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey' post hoc test and values with P< 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS: After TC, the group cured with pressure exhibited significantly higher µTBS values than did the control (P< 0.05), although TC had a detrimental effect on all µTBS values. Microscopic examination revealed that the control specimens had more voids in the resin composite part, relative to specimens that were under pressure during the curing process. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Pressure application during curing of resin composite may have a positive effect on bond strength to dentin.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the effect on micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) of a double layer application of three universal adhesives applied in self-etch mode to proximal dentin/cementum gingival margins of class II direct composite restorations, immediately and after 12 months water storage. METHODS: 66 molars with compound class II cavities, with gingival margin 1 mm below CEJ, were divided into three groups according to the universal adhesive used. The adhesives evaluated included All-Bond Universal (AB), Single Bond Universal (SB), and Prime&Bond Elect (PB). The groups were further subdivided according to adhesive application technique, either single layer or double layer application. All teeth were restored with the same nanofilled resin composite. µTBS were examined at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute after 24 hours or 12 months water storage. Fracture mode was assessed under stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's post hoc test (P< 0.05). RESULTS: The double layer application µTBS values were significantly higher than single layer application in all groups. Regardless of the type of adhesive or application technique, all subgroups showed significantly decreased bond strength after aging. There were significant lower µTBS values for AB adhesive compared with the other two adhesives that demonstrated no significant differences between them. The double layer application technique was effective in enhancing µTBS values of all tested adhesives bonded to proximal dentin/cementum gingival margins compared to single layer application. Regardless of application technique, all tested adhesives were incapable of defying long-term water aging. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The double layer application technique may be recommended to enhance the bonding durability of universal adhesives to face challenges in bonding to dentin-cementum cervical margins.

This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal responses of subgingival proximal margins elevated using different restorative materials. A total of 120 proximal cavities with dentin/cementum gingival margins were elevated using one of four materials (resin-modified glass ionomer, glass hybrid, flowable bulk-fill resin composite, or bioactive ionic resin) and completed with the same overlaying resin composite. At 2 weeks (baseline), 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postrestoration, periodontal parameters and the radiographic distance between the restoration margin and bone crest were evaluated. Appropriate statistical analyses were performed. The values of all periodontal parameters increased with time, although only the increases in Plaque Index and probing depth within each material group were statistically significant. There were no statistically significant differences in any of the periodontal parameters between the different materials within the same evaluation period, nor between different time points or material groups in the radiographic distances. Both glass ionomer-based and resin-based materials were periodontally safe as subgingival open sandwich restorations.

Apoptosis plays a crucial role in cancer pathogenesis and drug resistance. BCL-2 family of enzymes is considered as one of the key enzymes which is involved in apoptosis. When there is disruption in the balance between anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic members of the BCL-2 family apoptosis is dysregulated in the affected cells. Herein, 33 novel benzothiazole-based molecules 7a-i, 8a-f, 9a-b, 12a-e, 13a-d, 14a,b, and 17a-j were designed, synthesized and tested for their BCL-2 inhibitory activity. Scaffold hopping strategy was applied in designing of the target compounds. Compounds 13c and 13d showed the highest activity with IC50 values equal to 0.471 and 0.363 µM, respectively. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds showed comparable binding interactions with the lead compound. Structure activity relationship study was performed to show the effects of structural modifications on the inhibitory activities on BCL-2.

PURPOSE: To analyze the biological effects of four base materials used for elevation of proximal subgingival margins on gingival epithelial cells. METHODS: Twenty-eight specimens for each of the four base materials (total 112 specimens) were used: resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), glass hybrid (HV-GIC), flowable bulk fill resin composite (Bulk Flow) and bioactive ionic resin (Activa). Proximal enamel and root dentin were used as controls. Gingival epithelial cell viability was calculated after direct incubation on all four types of material for either 24 h or 72 h using both the methyl tetrazolium and trypan blue dye exclusion assays. Data were analyzed statistically using one-way analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc test and independent sample t-test (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Cell viability values in both assays showed significant differences among the study groups. Bulk Flow showed the highest values, followed in order by Activa and the control groups. Both HV-GIC and RMGI had the lowest values. Cell viability in all of the study groups was higher after incubation for 72 h than after 24 h. CONCLUSION: In terms of biocompatibility with epithelial tissues, bulk fill resin composite appears to be most suitable, followed by bioactive composite, for subgingival placement than glass ionomer-based materials, especially that containing 2-hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate.

Background: There is still debate about the most appropriate restorative material category to relocate the proximal deep cervical margins, thus, this study aimed to compare the marginal and internal adaptation of four base materials used for deep margin elevation, and to evaluate each base material/overlying composite interface. Material and Methods: Fifty six molars received class II cavities with dentin/cementum gingival margins. They were divided into four groups and their gingival margins were elevated using either; resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI), highly viscous conventional glass ionomer (HV-GIC), flowable bulk fill resin composite (Bulk Flow) and bioactive ionic resin (Activa). The rest of the cavities were completed with the same overlying composite. Half of each group was either; kept in sterile water for 1 week, or subjected to 18 months water storage and 15,000 thermal cycles. Base materials/gingival dentin interfaces were examined under a scanning electron microscope at different magnifications, and percentage of continuous margin (% CM) and maximum gap width (MGW) were analyzed, in addition to base materials/overlying composite interfaces evaluations. % CM values were statistically analyzed using Two-way analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc tests (at p<0.05) and Pearson's correlation while MGW values were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U tests and Spearmen correlation. Results: Both Bulk Flow and Activa had better marginal integrity than RMGI and HV-GIC. All base materials were adversely affected by aging. All base materials/overlying composite interfaces were continuous and age defying. Conclusions: In terms of marginal integrity, Bulk Flow and Activa might be preferable for proximal dentin margin elevation under direct restoration compared to the other tested base materials. Key words:Deep proximal margin, interface analysis, marginal quality, open sandwich technique.
RESUMO
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aging on the marginal quality of glass hybrid (GH) material used to elevate dentin gingival margins, and to analyze the consistency of the results obtained by 3 in vitro methods. Materials and Methods: Ten teeth received compound class II cavities with subgingival margins. The dentin gingival margins were elevated with GH, followed by resin composite. The GH/gingival dentin interfaces were examined through digital microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using resin replicas, and according to the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. After initial evaluations, all teeth were subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles, followed by repeating the same marginal evaluations and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for the interfacial zone of 2 specimens. Marginal quality was expressed as the percentage of continuous margin at ×200 for microscopic techniques and as the frequency of each score for FDI ranking. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Pearson and Spearmen correlation coefficients. Results: None of the testing techniques proved the significance of the aging factor. Moderate and strong significant correlations were found between the testing techniques. The EDS results suggested the presence of an ion-exchange layer along the GH/gingival dentin interface of aged specimens. Conclusions: The marginal quality of the GH/dentin gingival interface defied aging by thermocycling. The replica SEM and FDI ranking results had stronger correlations with each other than either showed with the digital microscopy results.
RESUMO
This review aimed to characterize the effect of direct restorative material types and adhesive protocols on marginal adaptation and the bond strength of the interface between the material and the proximal dentin/cementum. An electronic search of 3 databases (the National Library of Medicine [MEDLINE/PubMed], Scopus, and ScienceDirect) was conducted. Studies were included if they evaluated marginal adaptation or bond strength tests for proximal restorations under the cementoenamel junction. Only 16 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. These studies presented a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of the materials used and the methodologies and evaluation criteria of each test; therefore, only a descriptive analysis could be conducted. The included studies were individually evaluated for the risk of bias following predetermined criteria. To summarize the results of the included studies, the type of restorative material affected the test results, whereas the use of different adhesive protocols had an insignificant effect on the results. It could be concluded that various categories of resin-based composites could be a suitable choice for clinicians to elevate proximal dentin/cementum margins, rather than the open sandwich technique with resin-modified glass ionomers. Despite challenges in bonding to proximal dentin/cementum margins, different adhesive protocols provided comparable outcomes.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Although many reports concluded that polishing of glass ionomers is crucial for smoother surface and limiting the adhesion of cariogenic bacteria, there is no specific surface treatment protocol recommended. A novel material in the same category was released recently claimed to have surface smoothness comparable to resin composite and bacterial adhesion less than other types of glass ionomers. In this study, different polishing systems were tested with three glass ionomers one of them is the novel material to find the most appropriate polishing protocol. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the surface roughness and bacterial adhesion to resin modified glass ionomer, bioactive ionic resin and conventional glass ionomer restorative materials after different polishing protocols in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The materials tested includes resin modified glass ionomer, bioactive ionic resin, and conventional glass ionomer. The polishing protocols were divided into four groups: group 1 = (Mylar matrix strips, Control), group 2 = (one-step, PoGo), group 3 = (two-step, Prisma Gloss) and group 4 = (three-step, Sof-Lex). From each material, eleven cylindrical specimens were prepared for each group according to the manufacturers' instructions. The surface roughness for all specimens was measured using atomic force microscope in tapping mode. the same specimens were subjected to bacterial adhesion testing after being coated with artificial saliva. Data were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance followed by Post hoc multiple comparisons. RESULTS: The highest Ra and S. mutans adhesion values were recorded for all materials in two-step group. The lowest Ra and S. mutans adhesion values were seen in one-step and three step groups. CONCLUSIONS: One-step polishing system was more effective and may be preferable for polishing of the three studied glass ionomer-based materials compared to two-step and three-step systems. Key words:Activa bioactive restorative, glass ionomer, surface roughness, bacterial adhesion, surface treatment.
