Randomized Controlled Trial
Iontophoresis and topical application of 8% arginine-calcium carbonate to treat dentinal hypersensitivity.
The aim and the objectives were. (1) to assess the efficacy of a desensitizing toothpaste containing 8.0% arginine-calcium carbonate (Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™), (2) to assess the efficacy of a desensitizing toothpaste containing 8.0% arginine-calcium carbonate (Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™) used in combination with iontophoresis, and (3) to compare the effectiveness of the above methods. ⋯ Iontophoresis, when used along with Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ toothpaste, can provide additional benefit as this provides a better sealing effect.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Microleakage of glass ionomer based restorative materials in primary teeth: An In vitro study.
Using AutoCAD, we examined the microleakage of dye at the edges of primary-teeth restorations using three glass ionomer-based restorative materials. ⋯ Polyacid-modified composite resin may be a useful restorative material in primary teeth in terms of minimizing microleakage.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of radiotherapy on the coronal-sealing ability of two different root canal sealing materials.
This study aimed to assess the coronal-sealing ability of two different root canal obturation materials: gutta-percha with AH Plus and Resilon with Epiphany SE between radiated and nonirradiated groups. ⋯ Radiotherapy does not significantly affect the coronal-sealing ability of root canal obturation materials, gutta-percha/AH Plus and Resilon/Epiphany SE.
