Abstract Objectives Dentists have a range of options for managing molars with severe molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), each with different long-term implications. The cost-effectiveness of managing molars with severe MIH was…
Abstract Objective The ability to delay gratification (ATDG) is naturally linked to key regulatory psychological traits involved in self-discipline/regulation. The aim of this study was to ascertain the normalized impact…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of hydrothermal aging (H), mechanical cycling (M), and the combination of hydrothermal plus mechanical cycling (H + M) on biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and…
Abstract Objective To compare the effect of TiF 4 and NaF varnishes on demineralized bovine enamel under different cariogenic activities in situ . Methods Twenty subjects participated of this in…
Abstract Secondary caries at the margins of composite restorations has been attributed to adhesive failure and consequent accumulation of cariogenic biofilms. Objectives To develop and evaluate an etch-and-rinse adhesive system…
Abstract Objectives to determine the mode of light transmission and its impact on the polymerisation kinetic in modern bulk-fill resin-based composites (B-RBC). Materials and methods Four low-viscosity methacrylate-based and one…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of using a bulk-fill flowable base material on fracture strength and fracture patterns of root-filled maxillary premolars with MOD preparations restored with laminate restorations….
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the ability of a Near Infrared Light Transillumination (NILT) device to detect non-cavitated approximal caries lesions; and to compare its performance to Digital Radiography (DR). Methods…
Abstract Objectives The objectives of the present study were to (1) retrospectively evaluate documented cases of ceramic and composite endocrowns performed using immediate dentin sealing (IDS); (2) correlate failures with…
Abstract Objectives This electron microscopic study aimed at investigating effects of oral astringent stimuli on the enamel pellicle’s morphology. Methods Pellicles were formed in situ within 30 min on bovine…
