Effects of combining ozone and hydrogren peroxide on tooth bleaching: A clinical study
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of bleaching after combining ozone and 38% H 2 O 2 in comparison to the sole use of…
In vitro performance of one- and two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application
Abstract Objectives To investigate the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of one-piece and bonded two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. Methods Two groups of bonded two-piece zirconia…
Three-dimensional biofilm properties on dental bonding agent with varying quaternary ammonium charge densities
Abstract Objectives Tooth-restoration interfaces are the weak link with secondary caries causing restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop an antimicrobial bonding agent with dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM),…
An assessment of early colonisation of implant-abutment metal surfaces by single species and co-cultured bacterial periodontal pathogens
Abstract Objective Numerous studies have proposed that smooth metal surfaces reduce initial bacterial attachment in the establishment of an early biofilm formation. However, these studies have largely examined single bacterial…
Tooth replacement for partially dentate elders: A willingness-to-pay analysis
Abstract Objectives The primary aim of this study was to investigate partially dentate elders’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for two different tooth replacement strategies: Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs) and, functionally orientated treatment…
Integration of oral health-related quality of life instruments
Abstract Objectives To integrate items from two widely used oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires, the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances…
Impact of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) on diagnostic thinking in endodontics of posterior teeth: A before- after study
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of limited volume CBCT upon diagnosis as part of endodontic management of posterior teeth. The null hypothesis that…
Transmission of violet and blue light through conventional (layered) and bulk cured resin-based composites
Abstract Objectives This study measured the transmission of light in the ‘violet’ (350 ≤ λ ≤ 425 nm) and ‘blue’ (425 < λ ≤ 550 nm) spectral ranges from a…
Phosphoric acid concentration affects dentinal MMPs activity
Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether the concentration of phosphoric acid (PA) has an effect on the proteolytic activity of sound human demineralized dentin. It is hypothesized that the activity of…
The effect of endodontic access on all-ceramic crowns: A systematic review of in vitrostudies
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to identify from in vitro studies the effect of endodontic access on the fracture resistance and damage around the access cavity…
