Abstract Introduction/objective A systematic review was conducted to explore whether tooth loss affects dietary intake and nutritional status among adults. Data Longitudinal studies of population-based or clinical samples of adults…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the effects of a silica-based whitening toothpaste containing blue covarine on the colour of restorations in extracted human teeth. Methods Human extracted teeth were mounted in…
Abstract Objectives To measure tooth whitening effects delivered immediately after brushing with silica-based toothpastes containing either blue covarine or a combination of blue covarine and FD&C Blue No. 1 in…
Abstract Objectives To measure the tooth whitening effects delivered immediately after brushing with silica-based toothpastes containing blue covarine in vitro and in vivo . Methods Salivary pellicle coated human extracted…
Abstract Objectives To assess the robustness of a new custom built video-based digital imaging system (VDIS) for measuring tooth colour and whiteness under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Methods…
Abstract Objective To investigate the tooth whiteness perceptibility thresholds of the average observer to changes in the CIELAB values and an optimised whiteness Index for dentistry (WIO) based on psychophysical…
Abstract Objectives To review current knowledge concerning the application of colour science on tooth colour and whiteness description, measurement, distribution and its psychological impact. Data sources “Scopus” databases were searched…
It is often said “One smile can make the difference” and the importance of a smile cannot be underestimated. It is therefore not surprising that the population increasingly request a…
Abstract Objectives An evaluation method is proposed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the clinical outcome of the enamel hypomineralization treatment with infiltrative resin in young adolescents. The aesthetic outcome is…
Abstract Objective This randomized double-blind clinical trial compared tooth sensitivity (TS), bleaching efficacy, and cytokine levels after applying in-office bleaching treatments containing 15% and 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP15% and HP35%,…
Abstract Objectives To compare the cost and to evaluate cost-effectiveness of fabricating mandibular complete dentures (CDs) using two different impression methods. Methods A crossover randomized controlled trial including 27 edentulous…
Abstract Objectives The objective of the present study was to investigate the long-term effect of 0.01% acrolein (ACR) aqueous solution, employed as an additional primer, on the mechanical durability and…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the quality of posterior restorations (amalgam or composite) placed in adults from a birth cohort and its association with clinical and socioeconomic determinants…
Abstract Objective This in situ study evaluated the effect of the association of low-F (4500 μg F/g) gel containing TMP and FT (1100 μg F/g) on enamel demineralization. Methods This…
Abstract Objectives The Stopping Cavities Trial investigated effectiveness and safety of 38% silver diamine fluoride in arresting caries lesions. Materials and methods The study was a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled superiority…
Abstract Objectives Because of its ability to act as an antiproteolytic agent, the effect of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) against specific enzymes extracted from sound dentin and its performance under acidic…
Abstract Objectives With a decreased number of teeth, a reduction in chewing function can contribute to changes in food choices and ultimately impact on overall nutritional status. This study compared…
Abstract Aim To develop an endodontic sealer with amoxicillin-loaded microsphere and to evaluate its properties. Methods Experimental sealer was obtained by mixing 70 wt% UDMA, 15 wt% GDMA and 15…
Abstract Objectives The in-vitro dissolution of bioactive glass-based toothpastes and their capacity to form apatite-like phases in buffer solutions have been investigated. Materials and methods The commercial toothpaste samples were…
Abstract Objectives To explore fatigue limits of ceramic endocrowns for premolars. Methods Forty-eight devitalized premolars were cut at the CEJ. They were restored with standardized CAD–CAM lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic…
