Abstract Objectives We aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the global, super-regional, regional and national prevalence of molar-incisor-hypomineralization (MIH) and to determine the numbers of prevalent and incident cases on…
Abstract Objectives A scoping review was conducted to explore the use of FDI criteria 10 years after their introduction. The first aim was to compare the amount of studies using…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To evaluate a novel methodology using industrial scanners as a reference, and assess in vivo accuracy of 3 intraoral scanners (IOS) and conventional impressions. Further, to…
Abstract Objectives The concept of Cervical Margin Relocation (CMR) consists on placing a base layer of direct resin composite to elevate supra-gingivally the proximal indirect bonded restorations. The aims of…
Abstract Objectives To compare the antimicrobial efficacy and kill penetration of essential oils (EO) mouthrinse versus stannous fluoride, and triclosan dentifrice slurries on saliva-derived biofilms using confocal laser scanning microscopy…
Abstract Objectives This work aimed (1) to develop polyacid formulations by the one-step photoreduction of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) in a polyacrylate solution of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC), imparting antibacterial…
Abstract Objectives To examine the amount of heterogeneity in patients’ preferences for dental care, what factors affect their preferences, and how much they would be willing to pay for improvement…
Graphical abstract Highlights • TCN-HNT is a suitable filler for orthodontic dental adhesives. • TCN-HNT shows in vitro inhibition of bacterial growth at 72 h. • Orthodontic dental adhesives doped…
Abstract Objective This double-blind randomized clinical trial evaluates the influence of dentin roughening (RO) on the clinical behavior of a new universal multi-mode adhesive (Tetric N-Bond Universal; Ivoclar-Vivadent) applied as…
Abstract Objectives The immediate aim of this study was to develop and test a method to record, visualize and quantify real-time demineralization (or remineralization) of teeth in vitro using X-ray…
Abstract Objective Case presentations (vignettes) were completed by dentists in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network study “Decision Aids for the Management of Suspicious Occlusal Caries Lesions (SOCLs)”. The objective…
Abstract Objectives Thermal cycling is widely used to simulate the aging of restorative materials corresponding to the changes of temperature in the oral cavity. However, test parameters present in literature…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the remineralizing effect of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on enamel artificial caries in adjunct to 1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste compared with fluoride toothpaste alone…
Abstract Background The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to evaluate the association between asthma and periodontal parameters. Methods An electronic search without date or language restrictions was carried…
Abstract Objectives This meta-analysis investigates the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in adults undergoing dental procedures under regional or general anesthesia compared to standard care alone or an attention control group…
Abstract Objectives Repair instead of complete replacement is recommended to manage partially defective restorations. It is unclear if and why such treatment is taught at dental schools or practiced by…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the differences in susceptibility of the surface of native and polished enamel to dietary erosion using an in-situ model. Methods Thirty healthy volunteers (n = 10 per group)…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the mid-term clinical performance of direct composite restorations placed in patients with pathological tooth wear needing full rehabilitation with an increase of vertical dimension of occlusion….
Abstract Objectives Resin composites containing surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) fillers have been reported to inhibit Streptococcus mutans growth on their surfaces, and their inhibitory effects were attributed to BO 3…
Abstract Objectives Aim of this investigation was to study the temperature-dependent in vitro enamel erosion of five acidic drinks and citric acid under controlled conditions in an artificial mouth. Methods…
