Anti ‑adherence and anti‑bacterial activities of Pistacia atlantica resin extract against strongly adherent Streptococcus mutans strains
Conclusion: The results showed an anti ‑cariogenic effect of EO extracted from P. Atlantica resin.Considering that S. mutans adhesion is a necessary step in the beginning and progression of dentalcaries, this study can suggest the use of such extract in mouthwashes or toothpaste as an alternativeagent for preventing bacterial attachment and biofilm formation.Key Words: Adherence, anti ‑bacterial agent, cariogenic, pistacia, Streptococcus mutans (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Spectrophotometric comparison of two porcelain systems, VMK master and VM13 with the VITA 3D ‑master shade guide (An in vitro study)
Conclusion: In the present study, the spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the porcelain shadetype causes a change in the color parameters, but the color difference between two porcelainsVMK and VM13 is within the acceptable range of clinical color. Therefore, both porcelain systemswith 2M2 and 3M2 shades are suitable for enhancing the results of restorative dentistry.Key Words: Dental porcelain, shade matching, spectrophotometer, VMK master porcelain,VITA VM13 porcelain (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Retention of dental practitioners in rural health services in Iran: Experiences from Kerman province
Conclusion: More than half of the dental practitioners declared their willingness to stay in rural areas, although, in practice, this amount of presence in rural areas does not meet the needs of residents. Financial issues, amenities, and facilities in the rural areas can have a positive impact on the retention of dental practitioners.Key Words: Dental health services, health personnel, Iran, retention in care, rural health services (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Microinvasive esthetic approach for deep enamel white spot lesion
The white spot lesion on the dental enamel is an optical alteration that compromises the estheticsof smile. It can be caused by many factors, among them, defects in mineralization and formationof tooth enamel. Resin infiltrants are agents that penetrate, by capillarity, through the pores of thedemineralized or hypomineralized enamel, altering the refractive index (RI) of the tooth structureand totally or partially masking the appearance of the white spot. The aim of this work was toreport the use of resin infiltration to minimize the visualization of white spot lesion, present inan upper central incisor, as a microinvasive...

Effect of surface treatment with laser on repair bond strength of composite resin to ceramic
Conclusion: The repair SBS was higher in groups treated with HF acid compared to laser. Ceramicsurface treatment with HF plus silane plus conventional adhesive yielded a higher SBS as well asHF plus Universal adhesive. Thus, the application of silane as a separate step can be omitted in therepair of ceramic restorations with universal adhesives.Key Words: Bond strength, ceramic, laser, resin composite (Source: Dental Research Journal)

The effect of different mouth washes on metallic ions release from silver ‑soldered and laser‑welded orthodontic attachments. A comparative in vitro study
Conclusion: Laser welding should be preferred over silver soldering for the construction oforthodontic appliances. CHX containing mouthwashes such as Hexidine can be prescribed for thepatients undergoing orthodontic treatment. More in vivo experiments will determine whether thelevels of dissolved nickel ions can reach the toxic or sub ‑toxic concentrations or not.Key Words: Corrosion, Ion release, Laser welding, Orthodontic attachments, Silver soldering (Source: Dental Research Journal)
