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…
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 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 Objectives The purposes of this study were to evaluate the optical properties of recently marketed pre-colored monolithic zirconia ceramics and to compare with those of veneered zirconia and lithium…
Abstract Objective To evaluate a new method of measuring the real deviation (trueness) of full arch impressions intraorally and to investigate the trueness of digital full arch impressions in comparison…
Abstract Objectives The influence of toothbrushing duration and dentifrice quantity on fluoride efficacy against dental caries is poorly understood. This study investigated effects of these two oral hygiene factors on…
Abstract Objective To explore the association between tooth wear and quality of life among adults in the United Kingdom, independently of sociodemographic factors and other common oral conditions. Methods We…
Abstract Objectives Dentists enrolled in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network completed a study questionnaire about techniques and materials used for single-unit crowns and an enrollment questionnaire about dentist/practice characteristics….
Abstract Objective To investigate remineralisation of dentine in the hydrogel microenvironment for the management of hypersensitivity. Methods Human dentine slices were prepared from extracted sound human molars. They were acid-etched…
Abstract Objectives To examine relationships between oral health (OH) factors and general health (GH) factors (including physical, mental, and social health domains), and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of specimen thickness, pretreatment and hydrothermal aging on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of lithium di-silicate glass (e.max Cad) and magnesia-stabilized zirconia (ZirMagnum) ceramic…
Abstract Objectives We systematically reviewed treatment modalities for MIH-affected molars and incisors. Data Trials on humans with ≥1 MIH molar/incisor reporting on various treatments were included. Two authors independently searched…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of EO as adjuncts to mechanical plaque control (MPC) on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis when compared to placebo or cetylpyridium chloride (CPC)….
Abstract Background Clinical experience suggests that there is a difference in survival between anterior and posterior all ceramic restorations. Objectives This systematic review compared the difference in survival for full…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to fabricate and characterise silanated and titanated nanobarium titanate (NBT) filled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base composites and to evaluate the behaviour of a titanate…
Abstract Purpose The aim of this follow-up study was to report the long-term outcome of all-ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs). Materials and methods In 16 patients (mean age…
Abstract Objectives Functionalised silica sub-micron particles are being investigated as a method of delivering antimicrobials and remineralisation agents into dentinal tubules. However, their methods of application are not optimised, resulting…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize the mineral density parameters through natural enamel brown spot lesions (BSLs) and to visualize and map their mineral distribution pattern…
