Abstract Introduction The high costs of the worldwide recommended GICs might be a barrier for the implementation of ART. To overcome this problem, low cost GIC are used even though…
Abstract Objective To study the effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment and incorporating casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) into a glass-ionomer cement (GIC) to prevent secondary caries. Method A…
Abstract Objectives Malocclusion may be corrected nonsurgically by mechanical tooth movement. The plasma protein profiles of human subjects receiving the first phase of orthodontic treatment were examined to test the…
Abstract Background Two-unit cantilevered resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have higher retention rates over longer span fixed–fixed RBFPDs. It has been hypothesized that interabutment stresses associated with fixed–fixed designs cause…
Abstract Objectives To compare the abrasive wear on human dentine in an in situ model associated with use of an experimental low abrasivity anti-sensitivity dentifrice containing 1% alumina and 5%…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine re-interventions after restorative treatment. Methods The data was collected from the digital database of a major German national health insurance…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the use of mini implants to retain complete overdentures in terms of survival rates of mini implants, marginal bone…
On September 6, 2016, a new definition of oral health was overwhelmingly approved by the FDI World Dental Federation’s General Assembly. This was a key part of the organization’s advocacy…
Abstract Objectives Secondary caries limits the longevity of restorations and is thought to be associated with faulty restorations, e.g. dentin-restoration interfacial gaps. Recent evidence indicates that loading of restorations might…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists’ exposure to curing light and to obtain information about the dentists’ knowledge on practical use and technical features of their curing lights…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics as a function of pre-sintering temperature (1000–1150 °C). Methods Polymer-infiltrated zirconia…
Abstract Objectives The relation between the presence of red fluorescent plaque and the caries status in children was studied. In addition, the microbial composition of dental plaque from sites with…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess if journal endorsement of the CONSORT Statement is associated with improved completeness of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the abrasive effect of the tongue on human enamel loss with and without a prior dietary acid challenge in an in situ model. Methods A single…
Abstract Objectives The accumulation of oral bacterial biofilm is the main etiological factor of oral diseases. Recently, electrolyzed hydrogen-rich water (H-water) has been shown to act as an effective antioxidant…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the cytotoxicity of four dental restorative materials in three-dimensional (3D) L929 cell cultures using a dentin barrier test. Methods The cytotoxicities of light-cured glass ionomer cement…
Abstract Objectives Demineralized dentin collagen release C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide (ICTP) and C-terminal peptide (CTX) during degradation. The present study evaluated the effects of dentin pre-treatment with K21, a quaternary ammonium…
Abstract Objectives The surface of any dental pulp-capping material has important implications for its clinical success because it is in direct contact with dental tissue, which influences its cytotoxicity. The…
Abstract Objectives The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based dental screening versus no screening on improving oral health in children aged 3–18 years by a systematic review…
Abstract Objectives This study investigated previous hypotheses that the tongue can abrade acid softened/eroded enamel surfaces. Methods Twelve upper removable appliances each retaining 2 anterior and 2 posterior human enamel…
