Objective: This study was conducted to study the effect of four different treatment methods on the muscular activity of masseter and temporalis muscles of patients with temporomandibular disc displacement with reduction. Subjects and methods: Total 100 patients were selected. The selected patients were 64 females and 36 males with mean age about 31 years. The selected patients were divided equally into four groups: patients in group I were treated with behavioral therapy; patients of group II had a low-level laser therapy; patients of group III received anterior repositioning splints; patients of group IV received a flat plane splints. Activities of masseter and temporalis muscles were evaluated using surface electromyography (EMG). Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA test for comparison between groups. Within each group, comparison between baseline and after treatment was done using paired t-test (p<0.05). Results : All groups showed significant increase in the muscular activity after 6 months of treatment except behavioral therapy group. The flat splint showed the highest value, and the behavioral therapy group showed the lowest value. Conclusion : Treatment with occlusal splints significantly increased the masticatory muscles activity, and the other lines of treatment can be considered as an adjunctive therapy.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of two polishing systems on the surface roughness and color stability of lithium disilicate ceramic. Materials and Methods: Forty disc-shaped lithium disilicate samples were constructed and cemented into a cavity prepared onto the labial surface of freshly extracted bovine teeth; The samples were divided into four groups (10 samples per group); C: Control, SS: Scaling only, SE: Scaling followed by polishing using Eve Diapro lithium disilicate polishers, SD: Scaling followed by polishing using Diatech ShapeGuard ceramic polishing plus kit. The surface roughness was measured before scaling, after scaling and finally after the polishing procedure. The color parameters were measured before and after the staining procedures using VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 according to the CIE L*a*b* color order system. Results: Both polishing systems significantly decreased the surface roughness of the disilicate ceramic and was accompanied by a significant decrease in the color change. However, the color change in the polished group was significantly higher than that of the control glazed group. Conclusion: The surface roughness and color stability of lithium disilicate ceramics can be enhanced by recent polishing systems, however, it shows different topography than the glazed ceramic surface.

Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanosilver coated stainless steel brackets in prevention of enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment. Subjects and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 32 patients aged 13-16 years. All participants were scheduled to have maxillary and mandibular first premolars extraction as a part of orthodontic treatment. The patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group I in which 64 nanosilver coated stainless steel brackets were bonded in the upper and lower first premolars, and Group II in which conventional uncoated stainless steel brackets were bonded in the upper and lower first premolars. In both groups, 32 brackets of one side from upper and lower arches were deboned after one month, and the other side after 2 months. After debonding, the teeth were extracted, cleaned, and prepared for evaluation under scanning electron microscope to investigate enamel surface topography, and energy dispersive x-ray analysis that evaluate the mineral content of the teeth. Results: Calcium & phosphorus contents in the extracted premolars were stable in group I after one and two months, while group II showed significant decrease in calcium & phosphorus contents at the same periods. Scanning electron microscope examination revealed almost normal topographic feature of enamel surface in group I, while enamel surface in group II showed typical features of enamel demineralization. Conclusion: Silver nanoparticles coated stainless steel brackets can preserve the mineral content of the enamel surface, thus decreasing the likelihood of demineralization during treatment than uncoated brackets.

Thus, this study was directed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of citric acid and chitosan in comparison with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on E. faecalis. S ubjects and Methods: A total of 30 children aged between 4-7 years were included in the present study. The enrolled children had primary carious teeth that were indicated for pulpectomy treatment. The involved teeth were categorized into three main groups according to the type of irrigant solution; 6% citric acid (A), 6% chitosan (B), and 1% NaOCl (C). Then each main group was further subdivided into non-activated (A1, B1, and C1) or ultrasonic activated (A2, B2, and C2). E. faecalis count was carried out using a colony-forming unit (CFU). Results: All tested irrigants with and without activation showed a significant reduction in E. faecalis count. The ultrasonic activation significantly improves the antibacterial effect of the tested irrigant. In comparison between the tested irrigants, there was a significant difference. The higher reduction in E. faecalis count was recorded with 1% NaOCl followed by 6% chitosan. The use of 6% citric acid has a lower effect among the tested irrigants. Conclusion: Activation of irrigant solution significantly improves their antibacterial effect. chitosan has a significant effect on the reduction of E. faecalis count. Citric acid cannot be used alone as an irrigant solution.
