Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of load-cycle aging and/or 6 months artificial saliva (AS) storage on bond durability and interfacial ultramorphology of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC)…
Abstract Objectives To compare and explore the dose-response of phytate-containing 1150 ppm fluoride toothpastes on model caries lesions and to determine the impact of zinc ions. Methods This was a single-centre,…
Abstract Objective This study compared the effect of an experimental NaF/TiF 4 mouth rinse with a commercial tin/F mouth rinse on the prevention of tooth wear in situ . Methods…
Abstract Objectives This study determined whether consumption of calcium-containing gummies prior to fluoride varnish application enhances plaque fluoride retention and compliance with post-varnish application instructions. Methods The present study followed…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effect of toothpaste abrasive level on the progression of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using 3D-image subtraction. Methods Upper first premolars were allocated into seven groups…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of shading technique and thickness on the color stability and translucency of translucent zirconia after coffee thermocycling. Methods Specimens in different thicknesses (1; 1.5;…
Abstract Objectives This study compared the clinical performance of glass ionomer cement (GIC) compared to composite resin (CR) in Class II restorations in primary teeth. Data Literature search according to…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyse if children with untreated or treated caries (restorations/missing teeth) are perceived differently compared to children with healthy teeth and to explore possible differences…
Abstract Objectives This retrospective longitudinal study aimed to assess the longevity of single unit crowns placed by several dentists and to investigate risk factors associated with crown failures. Methods From…
Abstract Objective This retrospective in-vitro study investigated tooth age effect on dental hard-tissue conditions. Methods Unidentified extracted premolars (n = 1500) were collected and their individual age was estimated (10–100 (±10) years…
