Inhibition of hybrid layer degradation by cavity pretreatment: Meta- and trial sequential analysis
Abstract Objectives Inhibition of hybrid layer degradation, for example via inhibition of matrix-metallo-proteinases (MMP) could reduce risk of retention loss and failure of adhesively placed restorations. This systematic review investigated…
Are dental researchers asking patient-important questions? A scoping review
Abstract Objectives There is an increasing recognition that research outcomes should resonate with patients rather than fixating on technical aspects of interventions. We aimed to assess the nature of outcomes…
Tuberculosis: Occupational risk among dental healthcare workers and risk for infection among dental patients. A meta-narrative review
Abstract Objectives Tuberculosis transmission among healthcare workers (HCWs) and patients is due to the level of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) circulation in the community and in the healthcare settings where HCWs…
Novel silane encapsulation system for tribochemical resin bonding to a Co-Cr alloy
Abstract Objectives Encapsulated silane has been introduced in powders for tribochemical coating (SilJet Plus, SP), eliminating the need for a separate silane primer. The aim of the study was to…
