Abstract Objectives To investigate the abrasive effect of the tongue on human enamel loss with and without a prior dietary acid challenge in an in situ model. Methods A single…
Abstract Objectives The accumulation of oral bacterial biofilm is the main etiological factor of oral diseases. Recently, electrolyzed hydrogen-rich water (H-water) has been shown to act as an effective antioxidant…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the cytotoxicity of four dental restorative materials in three-dimensional (3D) L929 cell cultures using a dentin barrier test. Methods The cytotoxicities of light-cured glass ionomer cement…
Abstract Objectives Demineralized dentin collagen release C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide (ICTP) and C-terminal peptide (CTX) during degradation. The present study evaluated the effects of dentin pre-treatment with K21, a quaternary ammonium…
Abstract Objectives The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based dental screening versus no screening on improving oral health in children aged 3–18 years by a systematic review…
Abstract Objectives This study investigated previous hypotheses that the tongue can abrade acid softened/eroded enamel surfaces. Methods Twelve upper removable appliances each retaining 2 anterior and 2 posterior human enamel…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to obtain a Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)-TiO 2 nanocomposite material with improved antibacterial characteristics, suitable for manufacturing 3D printed dental prosthesis. Methods…
Abstract Objective To determine the optical and surface properties of model resin-based composites made with distinct nanoparticle sizes but equalized surface area, among them, before and after ageing. Methods Model…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of restoration design (‘2.5-mm deep endocrown’, ‘5-mm deep endocrown’ or ‘5-mm deep post&crown’) and CAD/CAM material type (composite or lithium disilicate glass-ceramic) on the…
