This study aims to evaluate the discoloration effects of various root canal sealers and the impact of subsequent bleaching treatments on tooth color. In this experiment, the coronal sections of teeth were treated with either a bioceramic or a resin-based root canal sealer, and color changes were monitored at intervals of one week, one month, and after the application of bleaching treatment. The results showed that the resin-based root canal sealer caused a more significant color change at the se

Tooth loss in the maxillary arch leads to gradual bone resorption, and the maxillary sinus expansion can complicate the process of replacing natural teeth with dental implants. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of alloplastic grafts, specifically calcium phosphate ceramics—β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP)—in preserving bone volume after maxillary sinus augmentation. The intervention consisted of a two-stage sinus floor elevation procedu

When planning a whitening or bleaching procedure, it is essential to use either indirect or direct tooth-colored restorative materials that closely match the natural tooth shade. This study aimed to investigate the effects of home bleaching agents on the surface texture of these materials, specifically focusing on restorative dental biomaterials. Two types of commercially available resin composites, packable and flowable, were selected as the tooth-colored materials under investigation. A total

Various techniques for estimating age at death using dental analysis rely on microscopic, macroscopic, and biochemical methods. While microscopic and biochemical approaches can be effective, they are often costly, complex, and destructive to dental tissue, limiting the potential for future analysis. This article focuses on non-destructive methods for estimating age in human remains, particularly for juveniles by examining dental development and for adults through physiological analysis of dental

This review examines the different types of cellular interactions in dental tissues, emphasizing both direct communication through structures like gap junctions and tight junctions, as well as indirect signaling involving soluble molecules such as growth factors, cytokines, and neurotransmitters. This review highlights the importance of these communication pathways in essential dental processes like tooth eruption, development, and periodontal tissue remodeling. It also addresses how the disrupt
