Effect of curing method and thermocycling on flexural strength and microhardness of a new composite resin with alkaline filler
Conclusion: The microhardness of Cention N in dual ‑cure mode was higher than that of self‑curemode, but the flexural strength of dual ‑cure was not significantly different from that of self‑cure.Thermocycling had a significant effect on the microhardness and flexural strength.Key Words: Aging, composite resins, flexural strength, hardness, self ‑curing of dental resins (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Effect of aging on color stability of amine ‑free resin cement through the ceramic laminate veneer
Conclusion: Considering the color change of cements evaluated in this study, Choice 2 and PanaviaV5 cements bonded to porcelain showed acceptable color change, which indicates that they aresuitable for cementation of esthetic dental restorations. Ceramic laminates have become an ideal esthetic treatment for anteriorrestorations. The resin cement discoloration can affect final appearance of these restorations.Besides that, exposed resin cement line can lead to the esthetic problem over time.Key Words: Aging, color, resin cement, spectrophotometry (Source: Dental Research Journal)

A randomized control trial comparing the efficacy of 3Mixtatin and Modified 3Mix ‑MP paste using lesion sterilization and tissue repair technique to conventional root canal treatment in primary molars of children aged 4–8 years: An in vivo study
Conclusion: Radiographic and clinical healing occurred in all the three groups; however, basedon our results, Group I seemed to be performing consistently better among the three groups at12 ‑month follow‑up. Hence, it can be inferred that 3Mixtatin used as a localized agent is effectiveand comparable to both Modified 3Mix ‑MP paste and conventional pulpectomy procedure involvingcalcium hydroxide and iodoform paste in primary teeth.Key Words: Metapex, primary teeth, pulpectomy (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Effects of a ceramic active self ‑ligating bracket on retraction/tipping/ rotation of canine, premolar mesialization, and transverse arch dimensions: A preliminary single‑blind split‑mouth randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: Compared to conventional metal ‑lined ceramic brackets, active ceramic SLBcan increase the duration of canine distalization, while reducing canine rotation and tipping(inducing more bodily movements). The loss of anchorage with ceramic SLB was similar to thatof conventional ceramic bracket after 3 months of treatment (considering the lower rate of SLBcanine retraction during that time). Both brackets similarly constricted the arch at the premolarsite. In the canine area, they expanded the arch, with the SLB causing smaller extents of expansion.Key Words: Corrective orthodontics, bodily tooth movement, tooth r...
