Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis develop resistance to the cationic biocides chlorhexidine (CHX), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and 12-methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide…
Abstract Objective The purpose of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare short implants (equal or less than 8 mm) versus standard implants (larger than 8 mm) placed…
Abstract Objectives To systematically review the failure rate and complications of different framework designs of resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) in the anterior region. Methods A systematic search for clinical…
Abstract Objectives After selective excavation, bacteria are sealed beneath restorations. Leaking restorations could maintain carbohydrate-supply, leading to lesion progression and pulp damage. It is unclear if fluid (and thereby carbohydrate)…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives The dynamics of red fluorescent plaque (RFP) in comparison to clinical plaque and bleeding scores were studied during an experimental gingivitis protocol in a cohort of…
Abstract Objectives To determine the effects of intrinsic wetness on the formation of dentin bonding interfaces of four resin cement systems bonded to dentin under different pulpal pressures. Methods Thirty-six…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyze interactions between oral biofilms and a dental triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)-based resin infiltration material on enamel. Methods Demineralized enamel specimens (14…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to develop a new mixed-species acidogenic biofilm model and use it to assess the antimicrobial properties of a novel fluoride-releasing copolymer. Methods Stubs composed of…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate silica infiltration into dental zirconia (VITA In-Ceram 2000 YZ, Vita Zahnfabrik) and its effects on zirconia’s surface characteristics, structural homogeneity…
Abstract Objectives Remineralizing experimental composites based on amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) were investigated. The impact of curing time (20 and 40 s), curing depth (1, 2, 3 and 4 mm)…
Abstract Objectives This randomized clinical trial compared the survival of composite resin restorations and metal-ceramic crowns on endodontically treated teeth that received a glass fiber post using 2 different cementation…
Abstract Objectives Probiotics might be beneficial to prevent or treat caries, gingivitis or periodontitis. We aimed to appraise trials assessing probiotics for managing caries and periodontal disease. Data We included…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the treatment performance/longevity of dental materials/techniques indicated to restore teeth with severe wear. Materials and methods A systematic literature…
Abstract Objectives Bone grafts are often used to enhance bone volume/quality prior to implantation insertion. This systematic review compares the histomorphometric effectiveness of bone grafts in an evidence-based manner. Data…
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate enamel and dentin susceptibility to toothbrushing abrasion, after bleaching with 7.5% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel supplemented or not with 0.5% calcium…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of treatment using collagen cross-linking agents as primer on resin–dentin bond interfaces subjected to cariogenic oral environment (COE). Methods Each of forty human teeth…
Abstract Objectives To test the effectiveness of sealant and flowable composite coating on eroded enamel, dentin and cementum under erosive/abrasive challenges in vitro. Methods A total of 108 tissue sections…
Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of storage up to one year on the micro-mechanical properties of dental bioactive restoratives (R) used for bulk-application and their intermediate layer (IL) to…
Abstract Objectives To determine the potential acidogenicy of liquid breakfasts. Methods In vitro acid production by Streptococcus mutans was measured in the beverages at a pH of 5.5, as was…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate physical-chemical properties of experimental diacetate chlorhexidine (CHX)-added resin blends. Methods Blends were formulated: G1)TEGDMA; G2)TEGDMA/0.1%CHX; G3)TEGDMA/0.2%CHX; G4)TEGDMA/UDMA; G5)TEGDMA/UDMA/0.1%CHX; G6)TEGDMA/UDMA/0.2%CHX; G7)TEGDMA/BisEMA, G8)TEGDMA/BisEMA/0.1%CHX; G9)TEGDMA/BisEMA/0.2%CHX. Icon ® was the…
