The Vice-President for Education & Students' Affairs, Prof./ Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Abd El-Mawla approved the Faculty of Dentistry's participation in Helwan University's "Towards a Better Life" competition.
For more information, read the announcement.
The Results of fifth year students are now available. The Faculty of Dentistry extends its warmest congratulations to all its successful students.
The Youth Welfare Administration at the Faculty of Dentistry extends its warmest congratulations to student Mario Kamel on achieving first place in the 2023/2024 Season of the "Creativity Festival" for his exceptional violin playing.
Aiming to inspire young people with brilliant ideas, but without the resources to bring them to life; UNICEF, USAID, UNDP, the Egyptian Scouts, Plan International and the British Council have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the Youth Challenge 4.0.
The Youth Challenge in Egypt is supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education, and the Ministry of Environment.
To register, kindly visit the coordinator before the deadline Thursday 4 July 2024.
This is a critical reminder for all students with assigned lockers. All lockers must be completely cleared of personal belongings before the end of the academic year.
A list of unclaimed lockers is provided below. If your locker number appears on this list, please take immediate action to remove your belongings.
The Digital Egypt Pioneers Initiative July round is now open for all Egyptian students and graduates.
The initiative is executed in collaboration with both local and global companies specializing in technology skill development. These companies conduct a range of activities, including training courses to enhance participants' capabilities and hands-on workshops covering various technological domains. Furthermore, the companies actively contribute to enriching the educational experience of the participants.

Cytarabine is one of the potent chemotherapeutic drugs that has many cytotoxic side effects. Our study was conducted to evaluate the possible ability of systemically injected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) to ameliorate the cytotoxicity caused by Cytarabine in the submandibular salivary glands of rats.
Methods: 30 albino male rats with weights of 200–250 g were divided equally into three groups. Group I (control group). Group II (Cytarabine group) at a dose of 100 mg/kg for five consecutive days. Group III (Cytarabine and BMMSCs): BMMSCs were administered intravenously via the tail vein one day after the last dose of the Cytarabine drug at a dose of 1.5 million cells/body. After 6 days, the rats were sacrificed, and the submandibular salivary glands were dissected out. The glands were prepared for histological and immunohistochemical examination.
Results: Upon examination, Group II showed atrophied acini with cytoplasmic vacuolization. Dilatation of the striated ducts and stagnation of the secretory material in their lumen, the nuclei of the ductal cells showed pyknosis. Meanwhile, Group III showed well-arranged acini and nearly normal ducts. Immunohistochemical results using anti-caspase-3 antibodies showed improvement in Group III over Group II; there was a significant difference between the optical densities of Group II and Group III.
ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of various surface treatments on the push-out bond strength of custom-made PolyEtherEtherketone(PEEK) and prefabricated glass fiber posts after being treated with different surface treatment materials.
Materials and methods: Sixty single rooted upper central incisors that were recently extracted were selected. All root canals were endodontically treated and post spaces prepared then divided into two equal groups based on posts type. Prefabricated glass fiber posts (n=30) were used in the first group(G), while milled PolyEtherEtherketone posts (n=30) were used in the second group(P). Based on surface treatment, each post group was randomly divided into three equal subgroups: subgroup(SB): sandblasting with 50µm Aluminum-oxide particles, subgroup(SE): etching with 98% Sulfuric acid and subgroup(HE+SC): etching using 9.5% hydrofluoric acid followed by silane coating. All post surfaces were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). All posts were bonded with self-adhesive resin cement according to manufacturer instructions. All samples were sectioned into; coronal, middle and apical sections with a thickness of 2 mm each. Then, push-out test was carried out on the samples using a universal testing machine. Finally, the data were statistically analyzed.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference (P=0.002) with the mean push-out value higher in glass fiber than PEEK post (4.18±1.72MPa vs. 2.65±2.12MPa, respectively).
Conclusion: The glass fiber post’s bond strength was higher than that of the PEEK posts. PEEK posts that were sandblasted with aluminum-oxide particles showed a noticeable improvement in bonding and would be a good choice for PEEK post surface treatment
