Abstract Objectives Malocclusion may be corrected nonsurgically by mechanical tooth movement. The plasma protein profiles of human subjects receiving the first phase of orthodontic treatment were examined to test the…
Abstract Background Two-unit cantilevered resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have higher retention rates over longer span fixed–fixed RBFPDs. It has been hypothesized that interabutment stresses associated with fixed–fixed designs cause…
Abstract Objectives To compare the abrasive wear on human dentine in an in situ model associated with use of an experimental low abrasivity anti-sensitivity dentifrice containing 1% alumina and 5%…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine re-interventions after restorative treatment. Methods The data was collected from the digital database of a major German national health insurance…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the use of mini implants to retain complete overdentures in terms of survival rates of mini implants, marginal bone…
On September 6, 2016, a new definition of oral health was overwhelmingly approved by the FDI World Dental Federation’s General Assembly. This was a key part of the organization’s advocacy…
Abstract Objectives Secondary caries limits the longevity of restorations and is thought to be associated with faulty restorations, e.g. dentin-restoration interfacial gaps. Recent evidence indicates that loading of restorations might…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists’ exposure to curing light and to obtain information about the dentists’ knowledge on practical use and technical features of their curing lights…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics as a function of pre-sintering temperature (1000–1150 °C). Methods Polymer-infiltrated zirconia…
Abstract Objectives The relation between the presence of red fluorescent plaque and the caries status in children was studied. In addition, the microbial composition of dental plaque from sites with…
