Highlights • Buccal chamfer does not improve retention of reattached incisors for lingual load. • Chamfers strengthen incisor reattachment not by increasing bond area. • Lingual chamfer may play a…
Highlights • Contemporary CAD/CAM resin composites display different degrees of water sorption. • Fracture toughness is importantly degraded by water ageing in all materials. • Some resin composites display a…
Abstract Objective To determine the mechanical properties of a newly-developed CAD/CAM resin composite block and compare with other resin composite blocks and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic block. Methods Experimental composite block…
Highlights • LTD develops in full zirconia prostheses after 6 months and increases with time. • Glaze does not protect from LTD. • LTD process is different in occlusal areas,…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The project aims to evaluate whether inhalation of particles released upon grinding of dental composites may pose a health hazard to dentists. The main objective of…
Graphical abstract Highlights • ML-doped polymeric nanoparticles facilitate functional remineralization of dentin. • ML-loaded polymeric nanoparticles remineralize and seal root dentin. • ML-doped NPs promote amorphous and stoichiometric apatites formation…
Highlights • Extended glaze improves the resistance to crack initiation and propagation of PVZ. • Glaze and extended glaze do not lead to perceptible changes in color and translucency. •…
Abstract Objective Imperfect polymer formation as well as collagen’s susceptibility to enzymatic degradation increase the vulnerability of hybrid layers over time. This study investigated the effect of new dimethyl sulfoxide…
Abstract Objective To test the impact of three varying step-stress protocols on the fatigue behavior of two 3Y-TZP, one 4Y-TZP and one 5Y-TZP zirconia materials. Methods Eight specimens per zirconia…
This article emphasizes the selection criteria for radiographic acquisition in children due to the greater sensitivity of children for radiation compared with adults. Diagnosis of common pediatric dental conditions, including…
Imaging in orthodontics has evolved from cephalometric and extraoral films, manual cephalometric tracings, to digital imaging and intraoral scanners. Software-assisted cephalometric tracings and three-dimensional image analysis have become routine in…
This article aims to help the practitioner identify structures found in routine three-dimensional imaging studies of the head and neck region and understand their significance and possible need for intervention….
This article focuses on radiographic imaging with regard to planning, treating, and maintaining partially and completely edentulous prosthodontic patients with dental implants. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the preferred imaging…
Radiographic changes of the oral and maxillofacial hard tissues can be an indication of an underlying systemic disease. In this article, the range of individual disease entities that have both…
The purpose of this article is to synthesize different technologies that are available for the creation of a virtual patient, “the digital clone” because the data can be used for…
The scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery treatment and care is very broad, from dentoalveolar surgery, to pathology and reconstruction, to treatment of craniofacial deformities. The effective surgical treatment of…
Dental radiography can be used to detect alveolar bone levels around periodontal and peri-implant structures. Periodontal radiographic images can assess alveolar bone height, periodontal ligament, furcation involvement, and evidence of…
Oral medicine practice includes the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of oral and orofacial diseases and oral manifestations of systemic conditions. Oral medicine specialists in medical and dental settings often require…
Endodontics requires radiographic imaging for diagnosis, treatment planning, therapy, and follow-up. Dental radiography allows for the identification of pathologic changes in the periradicular tissues that cannot be visualized by clinical…
Dental caries is a dynamic, preventable, reversible, complex biofilm–mediated, multifactorial disease that involves a series of demineralization/neutrality/remineralization of dental hard tissue in primary and permanent dentition. An imbalance in the…
