Cumulative fluoride-releasing pattern at days 7, 14, and 28 were 10% cinnamon-GIC > 5% thyme-GIC > 5% cinnamon-GIC > 10% thyme GIC > conventional GIC. Incorporation of 5% cinnamon oil into glass ionomer resulted in better antimicrobial effects against S. mutans and C. albicans and increased fluoride-release capacity without jeopardizing its compressive strength. The 5% cinnamon-modified GIC appears to be a promising alternative restorative material in ART technique.

We aimed to compare the effects of preoperative single-dose submucosal corticosteroid injection and postoperative elastic therapeutic bandage application with postoperative non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug therapy on postoperative inflammatory symptoms and quality of life following mandibular third molar surgeries. A single-center, randomized, clinical trial was conducted with 52 patients (36 female, 16 male) who expected severe postoperative sequelae as a result of the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The patients were randomized into three groups. In the preoperative submucosal corticosteroid injection group (n = 16), 8 mg/2 ml dexamethasone 21-phosphate was administered near operated sites. In the postoperative therapeutic elastic bandage application group (n = 19), Kinesio tapes were applied to operated sites. Paracetamol 500 mg was prescribed for the patients in the corticosteroid and elastic bandage application groups. In the postoperative non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug group (nistration December 2019 (retrospectively registered). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04200885. Date of Registration December 2019 (retrospectively registered). The objective of this randomized, single-blind, split-mouth contr
