Highlights • There are large differences in the flexural strength results of dental zirconia although the same ISO standard is used. • The surface treatment method used played an important…
Highlights • Different types of prefabricated paediatric crowns showed variant wear patterns. • All self-adhesively cemented composite crowns remained intact after testing. • The use of self-adhesive cements lowered wear…
Highlights • Camphorquinone (CQ) induces antioxidant enzymes in a 3D model of the oral mucosa. • CQ is able to pass a dense layer of oral keratinocytes and is metabolized…
Highlights • Adhesives with improved biological and physicochemical properties were formulated. • Adhesives with higher long-term μ-TBS after aging for 1 year were achieved. • Nanotubes with triazine compound provided…
Abstract Objectives Testing and comparing of different non-shaded zirconia materials (3Y-TZP, 4Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP) on optical and mechanical properties. Materials and methods Zirconia materials (N = 320, Opaque O, Translucent T, Extra…
The purpose of this clinical report is to illustrate an innovative treatment plan for a patient with Class III malocclusion. The plan combined the versatility of computer-aided design and manufacturing…
This article reports the interdisciplinary treatment of a girl born with a complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. She had congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors and canines and mandibular incisors,…
Micrognathia and retrognathia, as observed in patients with the Hallermann-Streiff-Francois syndrome, might result in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. When it becomes severe (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], ≥30), noninvasive treatment options might…
Introduction Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems have assisted orthodontists to position brackets virtually. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a CAD-CAM system could predict the orthodontic…
Introduction Orthodontic patients worldwide missed appointments during the early months of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A significant problem with this virus is its high transmission power. Asymptomatic patients…
Introduction The midsagittal plane (MSP) is the foundation for 3-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analyses. This article aimed to provide a protocol to construct a reliable and accurate MSP for 3D cephalometric…
Introduction This research aimed to determine whether Class II malocclusion can be treated with clear aligners after completing treatment with the initial set of aligners. Methods A sample of 80…
Introduction This study aimed to assess the effect of changes in tooth torque on the perceived color of composite and porcelain restorations. Methods A total of 30 patients with previous…
Introduction Patients undergoing clear aligner therapy (CAT) report muscle tenderness and produce wear facets on their aligner trays. However, little is known about the masticatory muscle response to clear aligners….
Introduction Structural or anatomic differences may arise during the development of the maxillary sinus and the process of fusion of the palate in the presence of cleft lip and palate….
Introduction To evaluate the influence of compensatory tipping of maxillary and mandibular incisors on the anterior arch length ratio and canine relationship in skeletal Class II malocclusion. Methods The study…
Introduction Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion is a widely used surgical procedure for resolving transverse maxillary occlusal changes in patients with bone maturity. However, few studies about the postoperative morphologic…
Introduction This study aimed to associate 2 indexes for evaluating malocclusion in the mixed dentition. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving 743 children aged 8-10 years, divided into early…
Introduction The primary objective of the study was to quantitatively analyze the width and height of the mandibular buccal shelf area (MBS) at 3 different potential locations for mini-implant placement….
