Abstract Objective To compare three different compositions of Yttria-Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramic and a lithium disilicate ceramic in terms of flexural strength and translucency. Methods Three zirconia materials of…

Abstract Objectives Visualisation of the etching process and resin penetration at white spot carious lesions by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Materials and methods The non-cavitated carious lesions (ICDAS…

Abstract Objective This study aimed to compare the in vitro dentinal tubule occluding efficacy of two different methods using a nano-scaled bioactive glass (BG)-containing desensitising agent. Methods Citric acid treated…

Abstract Objectives Dental personnel are more at risk to develop asthmatic disease, but the exact reason is so far unknown. During abrasive procedures, dental personnel are exposed to nano-sized dust…

Abstract Objective To compare the longer-term clinical efficacy of two occlusion-technology toothpastes — a 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) toothpaste and a commercially available 8% arginine/calcium carbonate toothpaste — in…

Abstract Objectives To investigate the effects of a 5% NovaMin containing dentifrice on dentine tubule patency and surface roughness at 100 g and 400 g tooth brush abrasion forces. Methods…

Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the effect of the pre-treatment with 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) as coadjutant in restoration retention of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL), after 36 months of follow-up….

Abstract Objective The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a bioactive endodontic sealer via dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) for…
