Abstract Objectives A systematic review was performed to compare the long-term survival of deep dentine caries-affected permanent teeth treated with partial-caries-removal (PCR) versus similar teeth treated with stepwise-caries-removal techniques (SWT)….
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the accuracy of four dental radiometers when measuring the output from nine light curing units (LCUs). Methods The light output from nine light-emitting diode LCUs was…
Abstract Objectives To assess the effect of chewing gum containing phosphoryl oligosaccharides of calcium (POs-Ca) and fluoride on white spot lesion (WSL) remineralization in comparison with POs-Ca or placebo (control)…
Abstract Objectives Repairing instead of replacing partially defective composite or amalgam restorations might reduce the initial treatment risks and costs, but could be less advantageous long-term due to repeated re-interventions…
Abstract Objectives To investigate in vitro a range of differently characterised toothpastes with respect to their efficacy in an erosion/abrasion setting with special emphasis on the role of the particulate…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the biomechanical influence of reconnecting the buccal and lingual walls of endodontically treated lower molar with a large MOD cavity. Methods 3D models were created from…
Abstract Objectives This study aims to determine dentin bonding durability of universal adhesives using shear bond strength (SBS) tests under various degradation conditions. Methods G-Premio Bond (GP, GC), Scotchbond Universal…
Abstract Objective We investigated the effects of the surface properties of polymer-based restorative materials on early adhesion of Streptococcus mutans (UA159) in vitro . Methods Four direct polymer-based restorative materials,…
Abstract Introduction/objectives This systematic review aimed to critically appraise the evidence regarding the effect of bracket ligation type on the periodontal conditions of adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment. Data Search terms…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the differences in clinical performance in direct and indirect resin composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth. Sources…
Abstract Objectives To validate the ‘Quality of Life related to function, aesthetics, socialization, and thoughts about health-behavioural habits (QoLFAST-10)’ questionnaire for assessing the whole concept of oral health-related quality of…
Abstract Objective To determine the thickness and nanomechanical properties of salivary pellicle formed on tooth enamel. Methods In vitro adsorption experiments were conducted by immersing enamel samples in centrifuged saliva…
Abstract Objectives To devise and assess the psychometric properties of a measure that investigates hypodontia patients’ expectations of the process and outcome of combined orthodontic/restorative treatment. Setting Specialised secondary care…
Abstract Objectives To assess the benefits of implant support to Removable Partial Dentures (RPD) in patients with a bilateral free-ending situation in the mandible and to determine the most favorable…
Abstract Objectives To provide a brief overview of the current evidence-base for direct posterior tooth restorations in permanent teeth placed using high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC). Methods The evidence sources: laboratory…
Abstract Objectives To devise and assess the psychometric properties of a measure that investigates hypodontia patients’ expectations of the process and outcome of combined orthodontic/restorative treatment. Setting Specialised secondary care…
Abstract Introduction Amorphous aluminosilicates glasses containing fluorine, phosphorus and calcium are used as a component of the glass ionomer dental cement. This cement is used as a restorative, basis or…
