This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bleaching agents on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth using different intraorifice barrier (IOB) materials. ⋯ The intracoronal bleaching procedures affected negatively the fracture resistance of the endodontically treated teeth.

Today, the development of dental materials is a very important issue. Graphene has been used in dentistry to strengthen many materials. ⋯ This bibliometric analysis reveals the progress and trend of research on graphene in dentistry and extensive collaborations between authors, countries, and institutions. The findings of this study can help inspire researchers to plan new studies and collaborate on graphene.

Bilirubin can have a toxic effect on the brain, so newborns must be carefully checked to identify those who may develop significant hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus). The study aimed to determine if cord blood albumin could be utilized to predict the onset of significant newborn jaundice in healthy-term babies. ⋯ Cord blood albumin levels are sensitive to predicting subsequent neonatal jaundice in the healthy term newborn.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory, and itchy skin condition that develops in early childhood in the majority of cases. ⋯ Our data suggest that AD has a specific pattern of inheritance in children and this was predicted by: nursery level of education, mother's level of education, and family or personal history of atopy. Knowledge of this will provide a better caring strategy for predicting and preventing AD earlier in at risk children.
