Management of permanent incisors affected by Molar-Incisor-Hypomineralisation (MIH) using resin infiltration: a pilot study
ConclusionIn MIH opacities, it is possible to rely on the resin infiltration as a minimally invasive method to achieve acceptable results, especially with multiple Icon-Etch cycles applications in the white/creamy opacities. The colour stability has not been affected by either the colour of the opacity or the number of cycles. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Comparison of cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects of MTA, propolis, and propolis-MTA on immature dental pulp stem cells
ConclusionPropolis-MTA showed higher biocompatibility than MTA. Addition of propolis to MTA improved cell proliferation in the first 24-h. Also, the cytotoxicity of propolis was lower than other materials in the first 24-h. Thus, propolis may serve as a promising pulp capping agent given that its other properties are approved.

Alternative root canal  filling materials to zinc oxide eugenol in primary teeth: a systematic review of the literature
ConclusionNumerous materials, proposed and used by clinicians in root canal filling in primary teeth, can be recommended as alternatives to ZOE. However, none of them could be the ideal material in primary teeth. Thus, more high-quality well-designed randomised clinical trials are required to develop more high-performing materials.
