Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To study the combined effect of simulated occlusal loading and plaque-derived biofilm on the interfacial integrity of dental composite restorations, and to explore whether the effects…
Abstract Objective Knowledge on the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and sleep behaviors in children is still fragmental, especially when socioeconomic factors are concerned. To assess sleep behaviors in children…
Abstract Objectives Dental luting cements are widely used to bond indirect restorations to teeth. Microcracks often lead to cement failures. The objectives of this study were to develop the first…
Abstract Sugar-free chewing gum containing polyols has been demonstrated to reduce caries experience in randomised controlled clinical trials. A range of polyols (mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol and maltitol) can be found…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of intrinsic water permeation on the microtensile bond strengths of different adhesive systems to dentine and the quality of resin-dentine interfaces. Methods Ninety-six non-carious…
Abstract Objective To assess the effects of adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics in nonsurgical periodontal treatment compared to nonsurgical periodontal treatment alone, on mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reductions in patients…
Abstract Objectives To explore the fear/anxiety inducing triggers associated with dental treatment, and what dentally anxious adults would like from their dental encounter. Methods Two focus-groups and three interviews with…
Abstract Objective Aim of this systematic review was to assess the clinical performance of sealants on various teeth in an evidence-based manner. Sources Five databases were searched from inception to…
Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of conventional (CD, 1100 ppm F) and low-fluoride (LFD, 550 ppm F) dentifrices, applied in different quantities, on enamel demineralization, and on fluoride…
Abstract Objectives The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of published dental clinical guidelines using the AGREE II instrument. Methods Online searching of a wide range…
Abstract Objectives To determine the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of bi-layered, all-ceramic posterior single crowns (SCs) supported by zirconia implants in an uncontrolled, prospective, multicenter study. Methods In two centers,…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The combination of TiO 2 and H 2 O 2 under light activation constitutes a promising method for disinfection of dental prosthetics and implants, due to…
Abstract Objective To compare bonding of dental adhesive to hypomineralized enamel (HE) after pre-treatment with either 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution or papain-based papacarie gel. Methods Normal enamel (NE) and…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effects of 8% arginine-containing toothpaste on the dental plaque of no caries (NC) and high caries (HC) individuals in situ . Methods 6 no caries…
Abstract Objectives To assess the interplay between dietary acid intake, toothbrushing and erosive tooth wear as aetiological factors in self-reported DH Materials and methods This is a secondary analysis on…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to identify the factors derived from the 405 nm laser-induced autofluorescence (AF) spectra that could be used to diagnose and stage caries….
Abstract Objective Evaluate the peri-implant status on the long-term (1–9 years) of patients treated with immediately-loaded full-arch prostheses in a private practice. Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out…
Abstract Objectives Efforts to enhance the reporting of clinical trials have intensified in recent years with automated strategies and editorial involvement showing promise in improving compliance with accepted guidelines. This…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of surface treatments of different resin-based composites (RBCs) on S. mutans biofilm formation. Methods 4 RBCs (microhybrid, nanohybrid, nanofilled, bulk-filled) and 6 finishing-polishing (F/P)…
Abstract Objectives This investigation, based on a 3-year epidemiological surveillance open cohort study, aimed to provide an insight of the prevalence of periodontitis, dental caries and peri-implant pathology and to…
