Abstract Objective This study aimed to compare the in vitro dentinal tubule occluding efficacy of two different methods using a nano-scaled bioactive glass (BG)-containing desensitising agent. Methods Citric acid treated…
Abstract Objectives Dental personnel are more at risk to develop asthmatic disease, but the exact reason is so far unknown. During abrasive procedures, dental personnel are exposed to nano-sized dust…
Abstract Objective To compare the longer-term clinical efficacy of two occlusion-technology toothpastes — a 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) toothpaste and a commercially available 8% arginine/calcium carbonate toothpaste — in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effects of a 5% NovaMin containing dentifrice on dentine tubule patency and surface roughness at 100 g and 400 g tooth brush abrasion forces. Methods…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of the pre-treatment with 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) as coadjutant in restoration retention of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL), after 36 months of follow-up….
Abstract Objective The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a bioactive endodontic sealer via dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) for…

Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical applicability of various MTA materials as partial pulpotomy materials in permanent teeth. Methods Partial…
Abstract Objectives This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between developmental defects of enamel and dental caries in the primary dentition. Sources Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Web…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of an advanced oral hygiene care programme (AOHCP) and a conventional oral hygiene care programme (COHCP)…
Abstract Objectives To analyse the effect of first and second premolar extractions on eruption space for upper and lower third molars and on third molar position and angulation during orthodontic…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of an advanced oral hygiene care programme (AOHCP) and a conventional oral hygiene care programme (COHCP)…
Abstract Objectives To assess, in older people with different levels of care-dependency 1) which frailty- and non-frailty related predisposing, enabling and need factors are associated with a) dental service use…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to examine the influence of social comparison on social judgments of dental malalignment in a sample of females. Method In a Repeated…
Abstract Objectives Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) can construct cross-sectional images of internal biological structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate enamel cracks at the cavosurface margin of…
Abstract Objectives To investigate differentially expressed salivary peptides in the development of early childhood caries (ECC) in 3–4 year-old children. Materials and methods Eighty-two caries-free children at baseline were followed-up…
