In the oral environment, the longevity and durability of aesthetic composite resin restorative materials are critical considerations. However, many studies have been done on the effect of certain mouthwashes on the surface hardness and accuracy of composite resin. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of GUM® alcohol-free and Listerine alcohol-contained mouthwashes on the surface hardness and dimensional accuracy of cured and dual-cured visible light-cured composite.Methods: Thirty-disc specimens of Nanohybrid light-cured composite resin were prepared according to ISO standardization (4049/2000). The sample was divided into three groups (n=10), the Control non-treated in distilled water; Alcohol-free GUM® and Alcohol-contained Listerine mouthwashes. The surface hardness and dimensional accuracy of specimens were measured at different immersion intervals. These include initial immersion, after one and four weeks, and after the light dual-curing procedure. Data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA (post-hoc Tukey test) performed at a significant P-value of (p ≤.05) and confidence level of 95%.Conclusion: After the dual-curing process, the alcohol-free GUM® mouthwash showed a reduction in the surface hardness of the composite material. Listerine mouthwash had a static reduction in the composite specimen in diameters.

Post-heat treatment may enhance mechanical properties of selective laser melting (SLM) Cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloys, however it is unknown what duration the heat treatment needs to last and how the rate of cooling impacts the alloy's flexural strength and surface roughness. In this study, SLM Co-Cr alloy specimens were heated at 1150 C for 1 or 6 hours and subsequently cooled by air cooling (AC), furnace cooling (FC), or water quenching (WC). Flexural strength and surface roughness were then tested. Aim of this study: Investigate the effect of heat treatment and different cooling conditions on the flexural strength and surface roughness of SLM Co-Cr alloy specimens. The heat treatment will be conducted at 1150 C for two different durations (1-hour and 6-hours) and under three cooling conditions (AC, FC, and WC). Materials and methods: A total of forty-two rectangular specimens, measuring (34×13×1.5 mm) were manufactured through SLM and divided into seven groups, six specimens for each group as follows: The first group denoted as control with no heat treatment and no cooling applied, second and third groups heated for 1 or 6 hours then cooled in the air (AH-1 and AH-6), fourth and fifth groups heated for 1 or 6 hours and left inside the furnace until they cooled (FH-1 and FH-6), sixth and seventh groups heated for 1 or 6 hours and cooled by water quenching (WH-1 and WH-6). Flexural strength and surface roughness tests were performed on the specimens. A flexural strength value of (2147.33 MPa) was indicated that the control group exhibited the highest flexural strength, whereas the FH-6 group exhibited the lowest flexural strength value (1282.66 MPa). The control group showed the worst surface roughness (1.63 μm) while all other groups demonstrated no significant differences in surface roughness ranging from (0.32 to 0.49 μm) with a slight increase in the 6-hours heated groups. Conclusions: Slow cooling rate inside the furnace affects flexural strength negatively. Therefore, a high cooling rate is recommended to get a better flexural strength. On the other hand, surface roughness results suggests that 1-hour is better than 6-hours in terms of heat treatment duration and time saving

Temporo-mandibular joint function has been extensively studied for more despite extensive investigation, the complicated etiology of TMJ dysfunction has remained a mystery for more than a century. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a sub - class of painful orofacial conditions characterized by complaints of pain in the region of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), difficulty concentrating craniocervicofacial muscles, especially mastication muscles, limitations of mandibular movement, and the presence of articular clicking. Emotional stress, occlusal interferences, tooth loss, postural deviation, muscles of mastication neuromuscular both internal and external dysfunction anomalies in Temporo-mandibular joint anatomy, and the multiple interrelationships between these factors all contribute to the complicated etiology of TMD.Aim: Determine the prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder between college students. The sample for this sectional potential study consisted of 691 college students (339 male and 352 female). Self-reported questionnaires were used to determine the incidence and severity of TMJ disorders. By virtue of the quantity and frequency of notable replies, the rankings were upgraded to an intensity ranking. Results:56.6% of students reported some level of TMD, including 39.7% with mild TMD, 12.2% with moderate TMD, and 4.6% with severe TMD. Historically, no significant correlation between gender and TMD severity was observed.Conclusion: This student population exhibited a high prevalence of TMD; however, the majority of cases were mild. The statistical significance of the association between TMD severity and gender is no longer proven. Despite having TMD. The students had little knowledge of their conditions.

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a leading cause of maxillofacial trauma and facial bone fractures. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between facial bone fractures, trauma severity, and the use of seat belts among passengers involved in road traffic accidents in Diyala Governorate, Iraq. To detect the relation of facial bone fractures and severity of trauma in relation to position of passenger and seat belts wearing during road traffic accident in Iraq, Diyala Governorate, especially these Governorate considered the main land road linking the capital and the southern governorates with the governorates of the Kurdistan province. This retrospective study examined patients with facial bone fractures admitted to Baquba Teaching Hospital in Diyala Governorate from October 2020 to September 2022. The study analyzed the data to determine the incidence of facial bone fractures and their severity in relation to the position of the passenger and the use of seat belts during road traffic accidents. Results: A total of 200 individuals were identified as having sustained 464 maxillofacial fractures as a result of road traffic accidents while seated inside a vehicle. The study revealed that the average number of fractures per patient was lowest (0.8 fractures per patient) among front passengers who were wearing seat belts. Drivers who wore seat belts had a slightly higher average number of fractures (2.8 fractures per patient). In contrast, rear passengers who did not wear seat belts had the highest average number of fractures (11 fractures per patient). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study emphasize the significant role of seat belts in reducing the occurrence of facial bone fractures, particularly for drivers and front passengers. In contrast, rear passengers who did not use seat belts were particularly vulnerable to facial bone fractures. These results underscore the importance of seat belt usage as an effective measure to minimize facial bone injuries in road traffic accidents. Further research with more comprehensive details is warranted to strengthen the understanding of the relationship between seat belt usage and facial bone fractures in Iraq.

In contrast, rear passengers who did not use seat belts were particularly vulnerable to facial bone fractures. These results underscore the importance of seat belt usage as an effective measure to minimize facial bone injuries in road traffic accidents. Further research with more comprehensive details is warranted to strengthen the understanding of the relationship between seat belt usage and facial bone fractures in Iraq.","PeriodicalId":512116,"journal":{"name":"Tikrit Journal for Dental Sciences","volume":"2 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate how distilled water, tea, coffee, and cola affected the surface roughness of poly ether ether ketone CAD-CAM, 3D printing, and heat cure acrylic resin denture bases at specific intervals (6 ,12days). Materials and Methods: Disk shape 10 mm (diameter) ×2 m m (thickness), manufactured from materials used which were PEEK, 3D printing and heat cure acrylic resin. Total number of samples are n= (75) samples, control samples not immersed in beverage media n= 15, experimental samples immersed in beverage solutions (distilled water, tea, coffee and cola) n=60 for evaluating the surface roughness at (6, 12 and 24 days) .Then all collecting data were statically analyzed by spss v ersion 25, by means of descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and duncan multiple range tests at p ≤ 0.05. The Results: The results revealed a significant increase in surface roughness in all beverage solutions at p ≤ 0.0 5. Conclusions: All beverage solutions had a negative effect on surface roughness of all experimental materials, the surface roughness increased. cola had the most aggressive effect followed by coffee then tea and distilled water have the least ef fect.

Background: All ceramic CAD/CAM materials require surface treatment protocols varying from one type to another according to their chemical composition, including hydrofluoric acid etching, sandblasting, silica coating, laser etching, and non-thermal plasma treatment. This review's objective to analyze and bring up-to-date data about the surface treatment of ceramics.Data: The review just searched electronic publications of papers. Websites "Google Scholar" and "PubMed" were utilized as sources for performing data searches using the following keywords: Surface modification, plasma surface treatment, indirect restoration, ceramics The original papers and clinical investigations that were published between the years 2006 to March 2023 that were the most relevant to the subject at hand were chosen.Conclusion: A variety of surface treatment methods have been proposed to enhance the bonding of restorative materials to resin cement and provide micromechanical retention by altering the restoration's surface mechanically by increasing the degree of roughness or physico/chemically by activating the surface. Hydrophloric acid etch is a golden standard for the surface treatment of feldspathic and lithium disilicate ceramics, the APC concept for zirconia, and hydrofluoric acid or sandblast surface treatment for resin nano-ceramic. A new approach used for surface treatment is plasma treatment, which is really promising in dentistry.
