Abstract Objective A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to answer the following research question: Does light-activated in-office vital bleaching have a greater whitening efficacy and higher tooth sensitivity (TS)…
Abstract Objective The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to answer the PICO question: “Do patients that received external connection implants show similar marginal bone loss, implant survival and complication rates…
Abstract Objectives This in situ study aimed to investigate whether the dentin treatment with MMPs inhibitor (CHX 2%) could influence the development of secondary caries wall lesions in different dentin-composite…
Abstract Objectives This study aims to apply electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for occlusion of dentinal tubules in vitro and investigate its effect on tubule occlusion and shear bond strength (SBS). Methods…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of assessment of intraoral digital photography in the evaluation of dental restorations. Methods Intraoral photographs of anterior and…
Abstract Objectives To assess and compare the survival rates of implant and root canal treatment as well as to investigate the effect of patient and tooth related variables on the…
Abstract Objective To compare the effect of material and thickness on the color stability and relative translucency parameters (RTP) for monolithic ceramics subjected to coffee thermocycling. Methods Four specimens each…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate theeffects of different finishing and polishing techniques on the surface roughness of microhybrid and nanofilled resin composites. Methods The resin…
Abstract Objective The main objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in detecting naturally occurring non-cavitated fissure caries (NCFC) in totality and at…
Abstract Objective To test the short-term effectiveness of a mandibular advancement splint (MAS) for the management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Methods Eighteen SDB children were enrolled in a…
Abstract Objectives To assess long-term (≥10 years) implant survival, peri-implant health, patients’ satisfaction and oral health related quality of life (OHQoL) in oligodontia patients rehabilitated with implant-based fixed prosthodontics. Methods…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate if in patients with dentin hypersensitivity (DH), the DH treatments are able to improve individuals’ oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). Data…
Abstract Objectives To assess the feasibility of using short message service text messages to solicit dental patients’ experiences of post-operative dental discomfort and sensitivity (PODDS) and whether responses characterise change…
Abstract Objectives Prolonged soft tissue anesthesia following a dental appointment is a complaint that is frequently reported by patients. Soft tissue anesthesia generally exceeds the duration of pulpal anesthesia by…
Abstract Objectives The effect of irrigation time on the antimicrobial efficacy of an apical negative pressure irrigation system was examined in vitro , followed by validation of the antimicrobial effect…
Abstract Objectives Desensitizing agents are usually included in the composition of bleaching agents to reduce bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity (TS). This randomized clinical trial (RCT) evaluated the risk and intensity of…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives To evaluate the bonding performance, antibacterial activity, and remineralization effect on enamel of the orthodontic adhesive containing MAE-DB and NACP. Methods Eighty non-carious human premolars were…
Abstract Objectives To assess the accuracy of near-infrared-light transillumination (DIAGNO) compared to visual-tactile (VT) and radiographic (RA) evaluation of proximal carious lesions adjacent to composite restorations in vitro. Methods Two…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction with monolithic zirconia crowns in patients with severe tooth wear (≥1/3 of the tooth…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effects of airborne-particle abrasion (APA) and Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation on 4-point-flexural strength, phase transformation and morphologic changes of zirconia ceramics treated at pre-sintered or post-sintered…
