Abstract This satellite symposium was the fifth in a series for editors, publishers, reviewers and all those with an interest in scientific publishing. It was held on Wednesday, 11 March…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this paper is to examine cavity design for posterior resin composite restorations and to discuss various resin composite filling techniques. Data Literature with regard to…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate three treatment modalities [infiltrant resin (IR), micro-filled infiltrant resin (MFIR), infiltrant-sealant-combination (ISC)] regarding both their abilities to penetrate…
Abstract Objective This longitudinal pilot study aimed to morphologically and quantitatively investigate the progress of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Methods The samples examined…
Abstract Objectives To investigate opinions on, and current use of lining materials prior to the placement of posterior resin composite restorations by general dental practitioners (GDPs) in the UK. A…
Abstract Introduction The high costs of the worldwide recommended GICs might be a barrier for the implementation of ART. To overcome this problem, low cost GIC are used even though…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objectives To develop an in situ model for erosive wear research which allows for more clinically relevant exposure parameters than other in situ models and to show…
Abstract Objective To study the effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment and incorporating casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) into a glass-ionomer cement (GIC) to prevent secondary caries. Method A…
Abstract Objectives Malocclusion may be corrected nonsurgically by mechanical tooth movement. The plasma protein profiles of human subjects receiving the first phase of orthodontic treatment were examined to test the…
Abstract Background Two-unit cantilevered resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have higher retention rates over longer span fixed–fixed RBFPDs. It has been hypothesized that interabutment stresses associated with fixed–fixed designs cause…
Abstract Objectives To compare the abrasive wear on human dentine in an in situ model associated with use of an experimental low abrasivity anti-sensitivity dentifrice containing 1% alumina and 5%…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine re-interventions after restorative treatment. Methods The data was collected from the digital database of a major German national health insurance…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the use of mini implants to retain complete overdentures in terms of survival rates of mini implants, marginal bone…
On September 6, 2016, a new definition of oral health was overwhelmingly approved by the FDI World Dental Federation’s General Assembly. This was a key part of the organization’s advocacy…
Abstract Objectives Secondary caries limits the longevity of restorations and is thought to be associated with faulty restorations, e.g. dentin-restoration interfacial gaps. Recent evidence indicates that loading of restorations might…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists’ exposure to curing light and to obtain information about the dentists’ knowledge on practical use and technical features of their curing lights…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics as a function of pre-sintering temperature (1000–1150 °C). Methods Polymer-infiltrated zirconia…
Abstract Objectives The relation between the presence of red fluorescent plaque and the caries status in children was studied. In addition, the microbial composition of dental plaque from sites with…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to assess if journal endorsement of the CONSORT Statement is associated with improved completeness of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the abrasive effect of the tongue on human enamel loss with and without a prior dietary acid challenge in an in situ model. Methods A single…
