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…

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…
