Abstract Objectives This study compared the clinical performance of glass ionomer cement (GIC) compared to composite resin (CR) in Class II restorations in primary teeth. Data Literature search according to…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyse if children with untreated or treated caries (restorations/missing teeth) are perceived differently compared to children with healthy teeth and to explore possible differences…
Abstract Objectives This retrospective longitudinal study aimed to assess the longevity of single unit crowns placed by several dentists and to investigate risk factors associated with crown failures. Methods From…
Abstract Objective This retrospective in-vitro study investigated tooth age effect on dental hard-tissue conditions. Methods Unidentified extracted premolars (n = 1500) were collected and their individual age was estimated (10–100 (±10) years…
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify associations between definite sleep bruxism, as defined by the American academy of sleep medicine, and chronic stress and sleep quality….
Abstract Objectives To investigate the edge force of CAD/CAM materials as a function of (a) material, (b) thickness, and (c) distance from the margin. Methods Materials intended for processing with…
Abstract Objectives Heterogeneity describes the percentage of variability across the study effects that can be attributed to between-study differences in a meta-analysis. The aim of this project was to explore…
Abstract Objectives The water-associated attributes of resin-dentin interfaces created by contemporary adhesives are important determinants of bond integrity and stability. In the present work, these attributes were estimated from the…
Abstract Objectives To describe a method of measuring the molar cusp deformation using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), the propagation of enamel cracks using transillumination, and the effects of hygroscopic expansion after…
Abstract Objective Infiltrant resin (IR) is currently indicated for non-cavitated caries lesions. However, modifying the technique might expand its indication spectrum to micro-cavitated lesions. The present study aimed to evaluate…
Abstract Introduction For effective risk communication, clinicians must understand patients’ values and beliefs in relation to the risks of treatment. This qualitative study aimed to explore adolescent perceptions of orthodontic…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyse if children with untreated or treated caries (restorations/missing teeth) are perceived differently compared to children with healthy teeth and to explore possible differences…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare the reporting quality of randomized controlled trial (RCT) abstracts in prosthodontics before and after the publication of Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)…
Abstract Objectives This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of sealing carious dentin in controlling the progression of lesions in primary molars for 2-year follow-up. Materials and methods Children…
Abstract Objectives The use of a simplified method (S) of fabricating complete dentures has been shown to be more cost-efficient than the traditional method (T), and there are no negative…
Abstract Objectives Micro-invasive treatment (sealing, infiltration) seems more efficacious to arrest early (non-cavitated) proximal carious lesions than non-invasive treatment (NI). Uncertainty remains as to the efficacy of sealing versus infiltration…
Abstract Objectives To determine through a systematic review whether HEMA-free adhesive systems have better clinical performance than HEMA-containing systems in noncarious cervical lesion (NCCL) restorations. Sources We systematically searched PubMed,…
