Abstract Objectives To investigate the effectiveness of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) solution application in arresting dental root caries and to assess the color of arrested caries lesions. Methods This study…
Abstract Objective To determine the risk indicators associated with root caries experience in a cohort of independently living older adults in Ireland. Methods The data reported in the present study…
Abstract Objectives Various agents are currently available for treatment of hypersensitive dentine, however, their resistance to erosion intraorally by various erosive drinks is still questionable. The aim of this study…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists’ treatment choices concerning “repair or replacement” of defective restorations. Methods A pre-coded questionnaire was sent electronically to all dentists (n = 1313)…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives This study examined the bonding performance and dentin remineralization potential of an experimental adhesive containing calcium-phosphate (Ca/P) micro-fillers, and self-etching primers doped with phosphoprotein biomimetic analogs…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated several fiber- and matrix related factors and investigated different mechanical properties of discontinuous i.e. short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) (everX Posterior, eXP). These were compared with…
The authors regret that due to clerical error, Robert Blizard has been inadvertently omitted as an author for this paper. The authors for this paper should read Ahmed Hussain, Chris…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the dentin wall carious lesion development of different composite-dentin interfaces in the presence of two adhesive bonding materials in the gaps, using a…
Abstract Objective The present study tested the central hypothesis that selective demineralisation of dentine extrafibrillar minerals by lowering the phosphoric acid concentration improves the quality of the resin-dentine interface. Methods…
Abstract Objectives This study presents a variant of the Brazilian disk test (BDT) for assessing the bond strength between composite resins and dentin. Methods Dentin-composite disks (ϕ 5 mm ×…
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),…
