Background and Objective: The main aim in medical education is teaching students to carry out certain duties in future. The RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY is a very important dental practice in our country. The aim of this study was to determine General DENTISTRY RESTORATIVE curriculum's adaptation to RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY service needs in community.Materials and Methods: In this quantitative cross‐sectional study consisting of two phases, data was gathered by two valid and reliable checklists. In first phase, the RESTORATIVE dental services of 1027 patients in a dental clinic sampled over a period of three months were analyzed by statistical software SPSS.17 and the results were reported. In the second phase, we provided a list of syllabuses and RESTORATIVE lessons with summarized results of the first phase to Tehran and Shahed University RESTORATIVE faculty members and asked them to express their views about General DENTISTRY RESTORATIVE curriculum's adaptation to the analyzed needs in last phase and results were reported.Results: In first phase, 2362 cases of the RESTORATIVE service were considered. The results showed that all the syllabuses of RESTORATIVE curriculum met the RESTORATIVE needs of the patients. But the amount of time allocated to teaching “theoretical cardiology” and “practical RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY3” did not meet the students' needs.Conclusion: RESTORATIVE lessons syllabus was suitable but time was not sufficient. So the amount of time of teaching should be added to fix the deficiency, so that the quality of education can be promoted. For this purpose using new methods of education via educational package, films and modules may be useful.

Graphene Nanoparticles (GNPs), an upshot of nanotechnology have attracted great interest in diverse research fields including DENTISTRY for their unique properties. Graphene Nanoparticles are cytocompatible and when combined with other compounds, they possess improved synergistic antimicrobial and anti-adherence properties against oral pathogens. The cytotoxicity of graphene in the oral setting has been reported to be very limited in the scientific literature. Current applications of graphene include reinforcing Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for the fabrication of dentures, improving properties of dental luting agents like glass ionomer cement, reinforcing RESTORATIVE composites and ceramics, and improving osseointegration of titanium dental implants by coating with graphene. This paper reviews the nanoparticle ‘Graphene’ and its potential uses in the field of RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY.

Dear Editor, Many children suffer from dental caries as the most common infectious disease (1-3). Consequently, proper dental restoration is one of the most critical issues in pediatric DENTISTRY. Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are characterized by full crown coverage and increased caries prevention through protecting the entire tooth; they are also more durable than multi-surface amalgam restorations (4). SSCs are prefabricated shells in different sizes, composed of metals such as iron, nickel, and chromium...
