Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate silica infiltration into dental zirconia (VITA In-Ceram 2000 YZ, Vita Zahnfabrik) and its effects on zirconia’s surface characteristics, structural homogeneity…
Abstract Objectives Remineralizing experimental composites based on amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) were investigated. The impact of curing time (20 and 40 s), curing depth (1, 2, 3 and 4 mm)…
Abstract Objectives This randomized clinical trial compared the survival of composite resin restorations and metal-ceramic crowns on endodontically treated teeth that received a glass fiber post using 2 different cementation…
Abstract Objectives Probiotics might be beneficial to prevent or treat caries, gingivitis or periodontitis. We aimed to appraise trials assessing probiotics for managing caries and periodontal disease. Data We included…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the treatment performance/longevity of dental materials/techniques indicated to restore teeth with severe wear. Materials and methods A systematic literature…
Abstract Objectives Bone grafts are often used to enhance bone volume/quality prior to implantation insertion. This systematic review compares the histomorphometric effectiveness of bone grafts in an evidence-based manner. Data…
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate enamel and dentin susceptibility to toothbrushing abrasion, after bleaching with 7.5% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel supplemented or not with 0.5% calcium…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of treatment using collagen cross-linking agents as primer on resin–dentin bond interfaces subjected to cariogenic oral environment (COE). Methods Each of forty human teeth…
Abstract Objectives To test the effectiveness of sealant and flowable composite coating on eroded enamel, dentin and cementum under erosive/abrasive challenges in vitro. Methods A total of 108 tissue sections…
Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of storage up to one year on the micro-mechanical properties of dental bioactive restoratives (R) used for bulk-application and their intermediate layer (IL) to…
