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…
Abstract Objectives There is a lack of clinical data on the impact of timing of dietary acid intake and toothbrush abrasion when attempting to control erosive tooth wear progression. The…
Abstract Objectives This study aims at evaluating and comparing mechanical, chemical, and cytotoxicological parameters of a commercial brand name composite material against two ‘own brand label’ (OBL) composites. Methods Parameters…
Abstract Objectives To prospectively evaluate the clinical long-term outcome of tooth-supported crowns (SCs), implant-supported crowns (ISCs), and fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made of a lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic framework material (IPS Empress…
Abstract Objectives To identify the determinants of OHRQoL among older people in the United Kingdom. Methods A subset of elderly (≥65 year) participants from the UK Adult Dental Health Survey…
Abstract Objective This study investigated if the incorporation of the bioadhesive polymers Carbopol 980, Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and Aristoflex AVC in a fluoridated solution (NaF–900 ppm) would increase the solution’s…
Abstract Introduction With a growing number of individuals retaining their teeth lifelong, often with periodontitis-induced root surface exposure, there is the need for cost-effective management strategies for root caries lesions….
Abstract Objectives An association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontal status has recently been focused on. However, no study has investigated the relationship between the prevalence of MetS and the…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether addition of an octadecene/maleic anhydride copolymer (O/MA) to a potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) dentifrice could facilitate delivery of potassium to dentine…
Abstract Objectives This in-vitro study investigated the effect of ‘instrument lubricants’ used during placement of composite restorative material, on the diametral tensile strength (DTS) and water uptake of composite specimens….
Abstract Descriptions of the pathologic changes in the pulp and associated apical structures of human immature teeth in response to deep caries are lacking in the literature. Objectives This article…
Abstract Objectives To determine if resin infiltration is an effective treatment for improving the esthetic appearance of tooth discoloration resulting from development defects of enamel (EDD) and white spot lesions…
Abstract Objectives The risk of ‘caries adjacent to restorations’ (CAR) might depend on the used restorative materials. In situ studies are often used to compare the risk of caries adjacent…
The authors regret that the authors names appeared incorrectly on their original manuscript. They have now been updated and appear correctly on this corrigendum. The authors would like to apologise…
The publisher regrets that the abstract was not published in the final article. The abstract for the final article is below: Abstract Objectives: Various agents are currently available for treatment…
Abstract This satellite symposium was the fifth in a series for editors, publishers, reviewers and all those with an interest in scientific publishing. It was held on Wednesday, 11 March…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this paper is to examine cavity design for posterior resin composite restorations and to discuss various resin composite filling techniques. Data Literature with regard to…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate three treatment modalities [infiltrant resin (IR), micro-filled infiltrant resin (MFIR), infiltrant-sealant-combination (ISC)] regarding both their abilities to penetrate…
Abstract Objective This longitudinal pilot study aimed to morphologically and quantitatively investigate the progress of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Methods The samples examined…
Abstract Objectives To investigate opinions on, and current use of lining materials prior to the placement of posterior resin composite restorations by general dental practitioners (GDPs) in the UK. A…
