Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the color and enamel structure changes after intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate under neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) and diode laser irradiation. Background data: Although some studies investigated the efficacy of laser irradiation during intracoronal bleaching, no study has been conducted to investigate the changes in both color and enamel structure during intracoronal bleaching with laser irradiation. Methods: Thirty-six extracted mandibular incisors were used. The root canals were prepared and filled with AH Plus and gutta-percha. Baseline color values and Ram . . .an spectra were obtained from all samples. The samples were randomly divided into three groups as follows: group 1, intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate plus NdYAG laser irradiation; group 2, intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate plus diode laser irradiation; and group 3, intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate without any laser irradiation. Following the bleaching procedures, the final baseline color values and Raman spectra were obtained. The baseline and final values were statistically analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 18.0 software using Anova and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: There was a significant difference between the Nd:YAG laser and control groups (p0.05). Conclusions: Laser application, especially Nd:YAG laser irradiation, was able to increase the efficacy of intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate. Laser irradiation significantly increased the bleaching efficacy without any changes in the enamel surface structure Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the mechanical and thermal characteristics of two denture base acrylic resins containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Material and Methods: Two different acrylic denture base resins (heat-polymerized and microwave polymerized) containing 0.3, 0.8 and 1.6 wt% AgNPs were evaluated for flexural strength, elastic modulus and impact strength. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and relative heat capacity (Cp) of the samples were determined from the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) results. For statistical analysis, two-way ANOVA and Tukey-HSD tests were performed. Results: . . . Addition of 0.8% and 1.6% AgNPs in microwave polymerized resin significantly decreased the transverse strength and elastic modulus. In terms of impact strength, the addition of AgNPs has no effect on both resin groups. Glass transition temperature (Tg) was decreased with the addition of AgNPs for both denture base resins. Conclusions: The incorporation of AgNPs, generally used for antimicrobial efficiency, affected the transverse strength of the denture base acrylic resins depending on the concentration of nanoparticles. Tg was decreased with the addition of AgNPs for both denture base resins Daha fazlası Daha az

Objectives: To assess the effect of glide path on the amount of apically extruded debris after instrumentation with WaveOne and OneShape. Materials & Methods: Forty-eight extracted human mandibular incisors were assigned to 4 groups. In groups 1 and 2, preparation was completed with WaveOne, in groups 3 and 4 canals were prepared with OneShape. Before instrumentation, in groups 1 and 3, glide path was created with PathFile 1, 2, and 3 at working length, whereas in groups  2 and 4, glide path was not performed. The weight of the extruded debris for each group was calculated by comparing the pre-  . . .;and post-instrumentation weights of the eppendorf tubes. The time required for reaching full WL was also recorded. Data were analysed by Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results: There was no difference in the amount of debris extruded between the single file systems (P=0.234). Time required to reach full WL was significantly decreased by creating a glide path (P< 0.05). Conclusions: Creation of a glide path does not significantly affect the apically extruded debris.
