Abstract	Aims: To evaluate the impact of various pretreatment regimes (LLLT, Ti-sapphire laser, CO Material and methods: Discs were made from hybrid ceramics and after disinfection were randomly divided into four groups based on different surface conditioning techniques. Each group consisted of 15 discs, resulting in a total sample size of 60. dics in group 1 was surface treated with Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using methylene blue (MB), Discs in group 2 with Ti-sapphire laser, Discs in group 3 with CO Results: The highest repair bond strength was observed in group 4 hybrid ceramics pretreated with HFA-S (19.05±0.79 MPa). The lowest repair bond scores were observed in group 1 hybrid ceramics preconditioned with LLLT in the presence of Photosensitizer (13.41±0.36 MPa). The highest Ra scores were exhibited in group 2 surface treated with Ti-sapphire laser (0.0515±0.16 µm) and the lowest Ra scores were observed in Group 4 HFA-S (0.0311±0.79 µm). Predominant bond failure among different investigated groups was cohesive. Conclusion: The current gold standard for hybrid ceramic conditioning is the use of hydrofluoric acid (HFA) combined with a silane coupling agent. Low-level laser therapy with methylene blue photosensitizer is not recommended for the treatment of hybrid ceramics.

Abstract	Objective: There are no studies that have assessed the efficacy of mechanical debridement (MD) with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of periimplant diseases in patients with prediabetes. The aim of the present 6-month follow-up study was to assess the effect of MD with and without adjunct aPDT in the treatment of periimplant diseases in patients with prediabetes. Methods: Treatment: wise, patients were divided into 2 groups: (a) test-group (n=30): patients underwent MD+aPDT; and (b) control group (n=30): patients underwent MD alone. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and periimplant bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD) ≥4mm were measured at baseline and after 3 and 6 months in both groups. Group comparisons were performed using the Kruskall-Wallis test and for multiple comparisons Bonferroni post hoc test was used. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results: Sixty individuals (30 in the test-group and 30 in the control-group) were included. At 3-months follow-up, BOP and PD ≥4mm were statistically significantly higher in the control-group compared with the test-group. At-6-months follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in BOP and PD ≥4mm between the test and control-groups. At 6-months follow-up, BOP and PD ≥4mm in the test- and control-groups were comparable to their respective values at 3-months follow-up. HbA1c levels were comparable in all groups at all time intervals. Conclusion: In the short-term, MD with adjunct aPDT is more effective in the treatment of periimplant inflammation compared to MD alone in prediabetic patients.

Abstract	Objective: The aim of the present 6-month follow-up study was to assess the effect of mechanical debridement (MD) with adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of peri-implant diseases in type-2 diabetic smokers and non-smokers. Methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups: (a) Group-1: type-2 diabetic smokers; and (b) Group-2: type-2 diabetic non-smokers. In both groups, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and peri-implant bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD) ≥4mm were measured at baseline and after 6 months of follow-up. Group comparisons were performed using the Kruskall-Wallis test and for multiple comparisons Bonferroni post hoc test was used. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results: Sixty-four individuals (33 in Group-1 and 31 in Group-2) were included. At baseline, BOP and PD≥4mm were comparable among individuals in groups 1 and 2. The mean age of individuals in groups 1 and 2 were 52.6±0.8 and 54.4±1.2years, respectively. The mean duration of type-2 DM among patients in groups 1 and 2 was 8.2±0.3years and 10±0.2years, respectively. In Group-1, the participants were smoking 6.3±1.5 cigarettes daily since 12.7±3.3years. At 6-months follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in BOP and PD≥4mm among patients in groups 1 and 2 compared with the respective baseline values. HbA1c levels were comparable in all groups at all time intervals CONCLUSION: Outcomes of the treatment of periimplant diseases using MD with adjunct aPDT are comparable among type-2 diabetic smokers and non-smokers.

Abstract	This study was intended to evaluate the healing of skin injury by using decellularized urinary bladder submucosa scaffolds and tendon-derived hydrogel. Thirty-six adult local breeds of both sex rabbits, with an average weight of 2.0-2.5 kg, were divided randomly into three groups (12 animals for each group). All groups were subjected to an induced injury (2 cm) in diameter at the right side of the abdominal skin, the rabbits of the 1st group (A) were sutured without the application of any substance as a control group, the rabbits of the 2nd group (B) were sutured and treated with the application of decellularized urinary bladder submucosa scaffolds, and in the 3rd group (C), they were sutured and treated with the application of tendon-derived hydrogel. Postoperative care following had been done for all groups throughout the study period. Specimens from the injured skin were taken for the histopathological study on the postinjury day, 8th, 14th, 21st, and 24th. The study showed a clear effect of materials used in the treatment of wounds through a clear progression in the healing stages with a noticed superiority of the submucosa scaffold group.

Abstract	Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the bond integrity and disinfection efficacy of Methylene blue(MB) alone, MB-PDT (Photodynamic therapy), MB@ carbon nanoparticles (CP)-PDT, and Cr, Cr: YSGG (ECL) against lactobacilli in Caries-affected dentin (CAD) MATERIAL AND METHODS: Methods consisted of Shear bond strength (SBS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), methods of disinfection, and failure analysis. CAD samples were prepared and biofilm formed on the specimens randomly allocated into five groups based on disinfection. Group 1: CHX; Group 2: MB; Group 3: MB-PDT: group 4: MB@CP-PDT and group 5: ECL. After disinfection Colony forming units were measured and specimens were restored and positioned under a universal testing machine (UTM). Failure analysis was performed using a stereomicroscope. The difference in survival rate was assessed using the Kruskal-Walis test. Mean and standard deviation for bond values after different methods of disinfection was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Tukey. The significance level was p<0.05 RESULTS: Morphological analysis revealed that CPs under SEM are flat discs with edged irregular shapes. EDX analyses show a spike indicating carbon particles by more than 95%. MB@CP-PDT displayed the highest reduction in lactobacillus levels in comparison to the other disinfection methods. The highest SBS was exhibited by the CAD sample disinfected with ECL. The lowest SBS values in CAD specimens after cavity cleansing with MB alone. The predominant failure type in CAD disinfected with MB alone, ECL CHX, MB-PDT, and MB@CP-PDT was adhesive. Conclusion: The use of MB@CP-PDT showed high antibacterial potency against lactobacillus but demonstrated bond values similar to CHX. Use of Er, Cr: YSGG showed considerable effectiveness against lactobacillus along with the highest bond values.

Abstract	Background: Salivary disturbance is associated with patients who either have an active coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or have recovered from coronavirus infection along with loss of taste sensation. In addition, COVID-19 infection can drastically compromise quality of life of individuals. Objective: This study aimed to analyze xerostomia, ageusia and the oral health impact in coronavirus disease-19 patients utilizing the Xerostomia Inventory scale-(XI) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14. Methods: In this cross-sectional survey-based study, data was collected from 301 patients who suffered and recovered from COVID-19. Using Google Forms, a questionnaire was developed and circulated amongst those who were infected and recovered from coronavirus infection. The Xerostomia Inventory (XI) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 were used to assess the degree and quality of life. A paired T-test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the effect on xerostomia inventory scale-(XI) and OHIP-14 scale scores. A Results: Among 301 participants, 54.8% were females. The prevalence of xerostomia in participants with active COVID-19 disease was 39.53% and after recovery 34.88%. The total OHIP-14 scores for patients in the active phase of infection was 12.09, while 12.68 in recovered patients. A significant difference was found between the mean scores of the xerostomia inventory scale-11 and OHIP-14 in active and recovered COVID patients. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of xerostomia was found in COVID-19 infected patients (39.53%) compared to recovered patients (34.88%). In addition, more than 70% reported aguesia. COVID-19 had a significantly higher compromising impact on oral function of active infected patients compared to recovered patients.

Abstract	Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the peri-implant condition, peri-implant bone loss (PBL), and complication rates of short dental implant-supported splinted crowns (SDI-SCs) and non-splinted crowns (SDI-NSCs) in the maxillary premolar-molar region. Materials and methods: Patients who had short implants placed near their maxillary sinuses were evaluated. Both patient satisfaction and presence of any technical complication, e.g. porcelain wear and chipping, loss of retention and loosening of the abutment, fixture or screw, were noted. The peri-implant plaque index (PIPI), probing depth (PIPD), bleeding on probing (PIBP), and peri-implant bone loss (PBL) were evaluated. To assess the impact of prosthesis type and SDI placement on technical problems, a log-rank test was computed. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 72 patients agreed to be followed-up, showing a mean follow-up time of 3.1 years. Ninty-five implants in total (55 SDI-SCs, and 40 SDI-NSCs) with moderately rough surfaces were evaluated. The average PBL score for implant and patients was 1.27 (0.02-3.97) and 1.25 (0.03-4.41), respectively. More technical complications were observed with single crowns than with splinted crowns. There were no statistically significant differences in the peri-implant parameters between SDI-SCs and SDI-NSCs (p > 0.05). PBL at molar sites was substantially higher than at premolar sites (p = 0.048). Sixty patients (83.3%) were satisfied with the appearance of the crowns, while 57 patients (79.1%) were satisfied with the crowns' performance. Conclusion: The peri-implant conditions, bone levels, technical complication rates and patient satisfaction were comparable between the SDI-SCs and SDI-NSCs. However, implants placed in the molar sites had statistically significantly greater bone loss in comparison to those at the premolar sites.

Abstract	Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chlorhexidine (CHX), phycocyanin photosensitizer (PC), green tea extract (GTE), and propolis (PP) on the adhesive bond integrity and microleakage of caries-affected dentin (CAD) using etch and rinse adhesive system. Material and methods: A sum of 80 extracted human mandibular molars was collected and assessed using ICDAS criteria. Randomly CAD samples were treated with different disinfectants (n = 20) each CHX, PC, GTE, and PP. After ensuring disinfection, specimens were rehabilitated with bulk-fill composite resin employing etch and rinse adhesive system. SBS testing was performed by engaging (n=10) specimens in a universal testing machine. Microleakage analysis was performed by using the dye penetration technique.A stereomicroscope under 40× magnification was utilized for analyzing failure modes. Statistical analysis was accomplished by using the ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests (p<0.05). Results: Highest bond strength was displayed by CAD disinfection with CHX and bonded to resin cement (15.33 ± 0.14 MPa). Whereas, the lowest SBS bond value was presented by Group 2 dentin surface disinfection with PC. CAD disinfected with GTE, PP and CHX demonstrated comparable SBS(p>0.05). The maximum microleakage score was exhibited when CAD bonded to resin cement disinfected with PP. While the minimum microleakage score was unveiled CAD bonded to resin cement sanitized with CHX CONCLUSION: Caries-affected dentin bonded to resin cement, chlorhexidine exhibited the highest adhesive shear bond strength with a minimal microleakage score using etch and rinse adhesive system.

Abstract	Clinical activities at dental premises after the COVID-19 lockdown period or post-COVID-19 are likely to be a challenge for all practicing dentists. To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dentists and change in dental practice following lockdown, a total of 1150 participants were approached through online survey forms registered on www.surveys.google. A link containing details of the questionnaire and a consent form was sent to dentists through emails and social media forums. The questionnaire included 3 domains comprising of seventeen questions. The first section focused on demographics. The second section inquired about the change in dental practice, that is, clinical hours, use of PPE, type of treatment, and patient flow. The third section investigated the impact of COVID-19 on dentistry. Means, standard deviation, and percentages were calculated using descriptive statistics. Chi-square was used to find an association between different variables. The response rate was 87%. Demographic factors revealed participants aged from 20.45 to 40.55 years. The data showed around 89.6% (896) of dentists have altered their clinical working hours post lockdown and, approximately, 59.7% (597) of dentists provided only emergency treatments. 88.1% (881) of the dentists wore PPE during dental procedures. Overall, a huge negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was observed among practicing dentists in terms of the dental supply chain, cost, and availability of dental equipment, treatment cost, and bill payments.COVID-19 pandemic compromised dental care. Though dentists were taking precautionary measures and have changed their practice according to the guidelines provided by the
