Abstract Objective To investigate the remineralisation of chitosan pre-treated enamel white spot lesions (WSLs) by bioglass in the presence of the pellicle layer. Methods 50 artificial enamel white spot lesions…
Abstract Objective Rechargeable calcium phosphate (CaP) composites were developed recently. However, none of the rechargeable CaP composites was antibacterial. The objectives of this study were to develop the first rechargeable…
Abstract Objectives Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) and Hypomineralised Second Primary Molars (HSPM) involve qualitative structural developmental anomalies of tooth enamel affecting the first permanent molars (and often incisors) and the…
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to review patterns of restoration placement and replacement. A previous study had been carried out in the late 1990s and this study…
Abstract Objectives The use of thio-urethane oligomers has been shown to significantly improve the mechanical properties of resin cements (RCs). The aim of this study was to use thio-urethane-modified RC…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Dentin sealing of loaded GIC-bonded interfaces improved after loading. • After load cycling both class-ionomer cements favor dentin remineralization. • Mechanical stimuli facilitates stress dissipation at…
Abstract Objectives The use of thio-urethane oligomers has been shown to significantly improve the mechanical properties of resin cements (RCs). The aim of this study was to use thio-urethane-modified RC…
Abstract Introduction The present study reported the histological events that occurred in the radicular pulp of human mature teeth in the presence of medium/deep untreated caries lesions, and those teeth…
Abstract Objectives To compare the efficacy of fluoride varnishes either casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) or bioglass particles on the severity index of root caries. Methods Visual-tactile assessments including lesion…
Abstract Objectives This study aims to evaluate the fracture load of differently fabricated 3-unit posterior fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with an intermediate pontic. Methods Fifty sets of two stainless-steel abutments…
Abstract Objectives To compare the efficacy of fluoride varnishes either casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) or bioglass particles on the severity index of root caries. Methods Visual-tactile assessments including lesion…
Abstract Objective Evaluate the effect of a full rehabilitation, including an increase of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), in patients with severe tooth wear on changes in facial appearance. Methods…
Abstract Objective To determine if the Basic erosive tooth wear index (BEWE index) is able to assess and monitor ETW changes in two consecutive cast models, and detect methodological differences…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs ) into an experimental adhesive resin regarding the antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans and the cytotoxicity against…
Abstract Objectives The use of thio-urethane oligomers has been shown to significantly improve the mechanical properties of resin cements (RCs). The aim of this study was to use thio-urethane-modified RC…
Abstract Objectives The use of thio-urethane oligomers has been shown to significantly improve the mechanical properties of resin cements (RCs). The aim of this study was to use thio-urethane-modified RC…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of load-cycle aging and/or 6 months artificial saliva (AS) storage on bond durability and interfacial ultramorphology of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC)…
Abstract Objectives To compare and explore the dose-response of phytate-containing 1150 ppm fluoride toothpastes on model caries lesions and to determine the impact of zinc ions. Methods This was a single-centre,…
Abstract Objective This study compared the effect of an experimental NaF/TiF 4 mouth rinse with a commercial tin/F mouth rinse on the prevention of tooth wear in situ . Methods…
Abstract Objectives This study determined whether consumption of calcium-containing gummies prior to fluoride varnish application enhances plaque fluoride retention and compliance with post-varnish application instructions. Methods The present study followed…
