Abstract Objectives The aims of this study were (1) to investigate prevalence, severity and distribution of erosive tooth wear in German kindergarten children aged 3–6 years in 2014/15 in comparison…
Abstract Objective Root canal irrigation is an essential step in root canal therapy as it enables the elimination of microorganisms. The final irrigant may affect the properties of the root…
Abstract Objectives This clinical trial explored the clinical and radiographic dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge in the first 4 months after tooth extraction in combination with the application of…
Abstract Objectives We recently developed a new rechargeable composite with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) having long-term calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release; however, this composite was not…
Abstract Objectives A systematic review was conducted to evaluate clinical (survival) and in vitro (fracture strength) studies of endocrown restorations compared to conventional treatments (intraradicular posts, direct composite resin, inlay/onlay)….
Abstract Background There is no consensus on whether incisal coverage is a risk or a protective factor in preparations for ceramic veneers. Objective The aim of this systematic review and…
Abstract Objectives The study evaluated the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of endodontically treated mandibular first molars restored with glass-fiber-reinforced direct composite restorations. Methods In total, 60 extracted intact first…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of bleaching after combining ozone and 38% H 2 O 2 in comparison to the sole use of…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of one-piece and bonded two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. Methods Two groups of bonded two-piece zirconia…
Abstract Objectives Tooth-restoration interfaces are the weak link with secondary caries causing restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop an antimicrobial bonding agent with dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM),…
Abstract Objective Numerous studies have proposed that smooth metal surfaces reduce initial bacterial attachment in the establishment of an early biofilm formation. However, these studies have largely examined single bacterial…
Abstract Objectives The primary aim of this study was to investigate partially dentate elders’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for two different tooth replacement strategies: Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs) and, functionally orientated treatment…
Abstract Objectives To integrate items from two widely used oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires, the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of limited volume CBCT upon diagnosis as part of endodontic management of posterior teeth. The null hypothesis that…
Abstract Objectives This study measured the transmission of light in the ‘violet’ (350 ≤ λ ≤ 425 nm) and ‘blue’ (425 < λ ≤ 550 nm) spectral ranges from a…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether the concentration of phosphoric acid (PA) has an effect on the proteolytic activity of sound human demineralized dentin. It is hypothesized that the activity of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to identify from in vitro studies the effect of endodontic access on the fracture resistance and damage around the access cavity…
Abstract Objectives To identify if selective etching of enamel (SEE) margins improves the retention rates and marginal discoloration of cervical composite restorations in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) of adult patients….
Abstract Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical performance of direct versus indirect composite inlays/onlays in posterior teeth. Data Screening for inclusion eligibility, quality assessment of studies and data extraction was…
Abstract Aims Placement of a restoration to treat root caries disrupts many tissues. There is scope for the restorative material to interact with these to augment reductions in micro leakage…
