Abstract Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of EO as adjuncts to mechanical plaque control (MPC) on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis when compared to placebo or cetylpyridium chloride (CPC)….

Abstract Background Clinical experience suggests that there is a difference in survival between anterior and posterior all ceramic restorations. Objectives This systematic review compared the difference in survival for full…

Abstract Purpose The aim of this follow-up study was to report the long-term outcome of all-ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs). Materials and methods In 16 patients (mean age…

Abstract Objectives Functionalised silica sub-micron particles are being investigated as a method of delivering antimicrobials and remineralisation agents into dentinal tubules. However, their methods of application are not optimised, resulting…

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize the mineral density parameters through natural enamel brown spot lesions (BSLs) and to visualize and map their mineral distribution pattern…

Abstract Objectives There is a lack of clinical data on the impact of timing of dietary acid intake and toothbrush abrasion when attempting to control erosive tooth wear progression. The…

Abstract Objectives This study aims at evaluating and comparing mechanical, chemical, and cytotoxicological parameters of a commercial brand name composite material against two ‘own brand label’ (OBL) composites. Methods Parameters…

Abstract Objectives To identify the determinants of OHRQoL among older people in the United Kingdom. Methods A subset of elderly (≥65 year) participants from the UK Adult Dental Health Survey…

Abstract Objective This study investigated if the incorporation of the bioadhesive polymers Carbopol 980, Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and Aristoflex AVC in a fluoridated solution (NaF–900 ppm) would increase the solution’s…

Abstract Introduction With a growing number of individuals retaining their teeth lifelong, often with periodontitis-induced root surface exposure, there is the need for cost-effective management strategies for root caries lesions….

Abstract Objectives An association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontal status has recently been focused on. However, no study has investigated the relationship between the prevalence of MetS and the…

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether addition of an octadecene/maleic anhydride copolymer (O/MA) to a potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) dentifrice could facilitate delivery of potassium to dentine…

Abstract Objectives This in-vitro study investigated the effect of ‘instrument lubricants’ used during placement of composite restorative material, on the diametral tensile strength (DTS) and water uptake of composite specimens….

Abstract Descriptions of the pathologic changes in the pulp and associated apical structures of human immature teeth in response to deep caries are lacking in the literature. Objectives This article…

Abstract Objectives To determine if resin infiltration is an effective treatment for improving the esthetic appearance of tooth discoloration resulting from development defects of enamel (EDD) and white spot lesions…

Abstract Objectives The risk of ‘caries adjacent to restorations’ (CAR) might depend on the used restorative materials. In situ studies are often used to compare the risk of caries adjacent…
