Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different concentrations of chlorhexidine digluconate on the bond strength to primary tooth dentin immediately and after 12 months. Twenty-one sound primary molars were assigned to 3 groups (N=7). The bonding procedure was performed in control group (A) using 37% phosphoric acid gel (15 seconds), then washed (15 seconds), dried with air (30 seconds), and rehydrated with water. Groups B and C had the rewetting procedure performed, respectively, with 0.5% and 2% chlorhexidine for 30 seconds. The tensile bond strength was tested immediately (IM) or after storage in artificial saliva for 12 months (12M). Data were evaluated by 2-way repeated measures analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc test. There was no significant reduction in bond strength values when chlorhexidine was used at concentrations of 0.5% (IM=49.3/2.6 and 12M=32.3/7.9) and 2% (IM=44.0/8.7 and 12M=34.6/5.1). Conversely, a significantreduction in bond strength was observed in the control group (IM=50.8/12.8 and 12M=20.4/3.7). The study validates the concept that chlorhexidinesolution, at different concentrations, may prevent the degradation of the adhesive interface in primary teeth.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
