Abstract Objectives Because of its ability to act as an antiproteolytic agent, the effect of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) against specific enzymes extracted from sound dentin and its performance under acidic…
Abstract Objectives With a decreased number of teeth, a reduction in chewing function can contribute to changes in food choices and ultimately impact on overall nutritional status. This study compared…
Abstract Aim To develop an endodontic sealer with amoxicillin-loaded microsphere and to evaluate its properties. Methods Experimental sealer was obtained by mixing 70 wt% UDMA, 15 wt% GDMA and 15…
Abstract Objectives The in-vitro dissolution of bioactive glass-based toothpastes and their capacity to form apatite-like phases in buffer solutions have been investigated. Materials and methods The commercial toothpaste samples were…
Abstract Objectives To explore fatigue limits of ceramic endocrowns for premolars. Methods Forty-eight devitalized premolars were cut at the CEJ. They were restored with standardized CAD–CAM lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic…
Abstract Objectives To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the in vivo maximum wear of enamel opposing monolithic zirconia crowns, enamel opposing porcelain fused to metal crowns…
Abstract Objectives We aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the global, super-regional, regional and national prevalence of molar-incisor-hypomineralization (MIH) and to determine the numbers of prevalent and incident cases on…
Abstract Objectives A scoping review was conducted to explore the use of FDI criteria 10 years after their introduction. The first aim was to compare the amount of studies using…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective To evaluate a novel methodology using industrial scanners as a reference, and assess in vivo accuracy of 3 intraoral scanners (IOS) and conventional impressions. Further, to…
Abstract Objectives The concept of Cervical Margin Relocation (CMR) consists on placing a base layer of direct resin composite to elevate supra-gingivally the proximal indirect bonded restorations. The aims of…
Abstract Objectives To compare the antimicrobial efficacy and kill penetration of essential oils (EO) mouthrinse versus stannous fluoride, and triclosan dentifrice slurries on saliva-derived biofilms using confocal laser scanning microscopy…
Abstract Objectives This work aimed (1) to develop polyacid formulations by the one-step photoreduction of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) in a polyacrylate solution of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC), imparting antibacterial…
Abstract Objectives To examine the amount of heterogeneity in patients’ preferences for dental care, what factors affect their preferences, and how much they would be willing to pay for improvement…
Graphical abstract Highlights • TCN-HNT is a suitable filler for orthodontic dental adhesives. • TCN-HNT shows in vitro inhibition of bacterial growth at 72 h. • Orthodontic dental adhesives doped…
Abstract Objective This double-blind randomized clinical trial evaluates the influence of dentin roughening (RO) on the clinical behavior of a new universal multi-mode adhesive (Tetric N-Bond Universal; Ivoclar-Vivadent) applied as…
Abstract Objectives The immediate aim of this study was to develop and test a method to record, visualize and quantify real-time demineralization (or remineralization) of teeth in vitro using X-ray…
Abstract Objective Case presentations (vignettes) were completed by dentists in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network study “Decision Aids for the Management of Suspicious Occlusal Caries Lesions (SOCLs)”. The objective…
Abstract Objectives Thermal cycling is widely used to simulate the aging of restorative materials corresponding to the changes of temperature in the oral cavity. However, test parameters present in literature…
Abstract Objectives To investigate the remineralizing effect of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on enamel artificial caries in adjunct to 1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste compared with fluoride toothpaste alone…
Abstract Background The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to evaluate the association between asthma and periodontal parameters. Methods An electronic search without date or language restrictions was carried…
